  • There has to be a point, first. It’s just the old “go woke, go broke” nonsense. It’s the recycled conservative pearl clutching that has always come in when society starts to include those ‘nasty outsiders’. (Minorities.)

    Let’s say I entertain the possibility that there is a point.

    ->Baldur’s Gate 3. . Very ‘woke’. Amazing game.

    ->Concord Arguably ‘woke’. Crappy game.

    Let’s go with a game that flopped and wasn’t advertised as ‘inclusive’ Anthem.

    Let’s entertain this further to /really/ drive some nails into the coffin of this ‘point’.

    Celeste, a game heavy with queer tones to tell the story. Great game, very popular.

    So, that is why most people are walking by this with just a down vote. It’s all it really deserves, but I needed an easy win today. ~

    Hope life treats you well, Peace




  • A 17 year old and an 18 year old are only a year apart in maturity. It’s essentially comparable to a 17 and 16 year old. 2 years apart starts to get gray as far as morality goes. I’m against 16 and 19, but i can imagine extremely remote cases where it might be acceptable, but that is stretching my objective capabilities. 16 and 20 is too far. As you get closer to 25 and the brain is fully developed, the margins get wider.

    For instance, 18 and 22? That goes back to stretching it. 19 and 23? Back to morally Grey. 20 and 24? Fine.

    Ephebophelia definitions are meant to cast a wide net to protect as many people as possible. Just get over it for societies greater good.







  • Well, I’ve had to remove multiple people that used to just be right leaning for outright fascist statements and ideas in the last few months as they’ve deteriorated into hate speech and ethnic cleansing…so while I grew up conservative…yeah, I can’t support that shit.

    Democrats are a mild improvement at best but at least they aren’t constantly being approved of by the KKK and being touted by mass shooters.

    I’d like a proper left-leaning candidate, but with America’s history. They’ll end up assassinated.




  • Undertale: You’ve progressed through most of the game. You didn’t strike out at the monsters. You’ve done everything you could to avoid hurting those around you and yet strive for escape. Over and over You’ve been put up against a wall with your enemies striving to end you. You could fight back, you could react to this world of monsters and become like them, a monster.

    But you didn’t. You stand before a mirror in a house very similar to the one you were in at the start of the game. Looking into the mirror, you are affirmed.

    “Despite everything. It’s still you.”

    Despite everything I’ve gone through. Despite the hunger and gnawing to give in. To respond to the hatred and harm that has been inflicted on me with fury and bloodlust equal to the twisted delight others have taken in my suffering. I didn’t give in. I didn’t lose my joy in making others smile. I didn’t give up my interests and the rare and disparate moments of joy.

    Despite everything. It’s still me. I’m still here. I’m not a monster.



  • Hello! Resident Genderfluid person here. Usually you can just ask their name and that works to get them to give you the greeting they like. They look like a James, but give you the name Samantha? Probably safe to use she/her unless doing so has them ask you to use something else. IRL, at least.

    Online? It’s usually in a bio or they will tell you if it is functionally relevant. The only people I (anecdotally) have seen devolve into scree when accidentally misgendered were people trying to start something or acting for the sake of poisoning the well.

    As far as using non conventional pronouns irl, you probably haven’t heard it since it is genuinely dangerous to be outed in a lot of places. Look up gay/trans panic laws. It’s dangerous to be queer in America with Conservatives having so much sway right now.
