I saw a laundry list of cis pants-shitting in the replies of someone talking about MTG's bill to criminalise giving trans healthcare to minors.

"I thought puberty blockers were irreversible" (False). "I've heard of cases where parents make their kids trans." (Wtf). "Don't some people regret it?"

Reminds me when I visited the Steam forums for Lethal Company this past weekend after playing for a bit.

There's a "priest" who holds a lobby hostage for people who randomly join without knowing.

They'll just play youtube videos in the background of bible versus being read and never play the game

Update: YouTube straight up removed another video about loot boxes. They’re just hitting anything that mentions gambling regardless of context.

What a ridiculous platform.
YouTube restricted an old video about loot boxes being restricted by gambling laws under the “sale of regulated goods policy.”

Yes YouTube, my vids famously “depict or promote” gambling. Those years of anti-loot box videos were secretly pro-loot box the entire time, you ridiculous dumbfuck site 😂.

Fuck YouTube. I would rather my videos stay removed than edit them to cut out the word gambling. For years, my work was about how loot boxes were gambling, and I used the word because companies didn’t want the word used.

I’d sooner lose every video than destroy the point of them.

Fuck. YouTube.

It's hard to explain the toll that constantly seeing people *who think they are on your side* argue that HRT is acceptable collateral damage for some greater good does tbh.

This happens like 3-4x a year and like all cyclical intracommunity discourse I despise it.

Wondering if I should try contacting all the weird kids I hang out with as a child, to see if they were eggs, or just weird.

Sunao is one of those people wags online like to call Reverse Weeaboos because he is fascinated byWestern culture, which shows in his work. He does so with a highly critical eye, which lends a certain insightfulness to his work.
the writer of Sherlock Hound and director/writer of Black Lagoon, Sunao Katabuchi, is also the writer of Ace Combat, which is a big part of the reason why people should play Ace Combat

"ouuuggh SCROMIT! I hate forced diversity in stories!" is a big rallying cry of choads nowadays, but the Lagoon company in Black Lagoon is notable for its diversity in characters, and I am sure that was a conscious decision by Sunao.
It also talks in small part about racism and how inhumanely westerners treat East Asian people (Shenhua and Revy's whole character arcs pay heavy attention to the latter).
Black lagoon is in large parts a critique of western imperialism and capitalisms inhumanity. (And generally how fucked large intelligenceagencys are, and their paralells to comoanies, and both of their similarities to organised crime.)

The fact that the Lagoon Company uses a relic from the Vietnam war - one of the PT boats that terrorized the waterways of Vietnam - is the capstone on your hypothesis.
The entire city of roanapur is the character that embodies that the most, I feel like. It's a place occupied and exploited by crime syndicates that are not thai, and riddled with spies from the same places. It is where proxy conflicts are carried out over the bodies of east asian people.

My biggest gripe about trans equality maps is that they almost never include *access to HRT and medical transition* in their metrics.

Ah, the cyclical 'transmedicalism' discourse. That time of month when someone who proudly identifies as a 'fagdyke' called someone who proudly identifies as a 'girltwink' a "binarist transmed TERF who deserves a brick to the face" because trans history is so routinely destroyed and forgotten.

💀 i guess the question i have to ask when people insist that transmedicalism as a concept is an intracommunity issue rather than a medical establishment issue is why does the fighting over it make it sound like you think it's worse on a material level if that's the case

This is fucking pathetic on Steam’s part. There’s no way in hell “has muslims” should be approved as criticism, and the DEI whining is the same hateful sentiment with a flimsy cover draped on.

I can only assume Valve *agrees* with the bigotry if it’s gonna keep claiming such nerdzi shit is valid.
We had an Overwhelmingly Positive score on Steam, then these two reviews rolled in

Why does Valve allow this?

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.
