Valve is homophobic because since pride month started, i haven't had a single Deadlock game that didn't match me with teammates playing with motion controls while they watched family guy clips in a window covering their map. just the nastiest K/D/A ratios ever seen on half of my team, with the others fumbled the spirit urn like their life depended on finishing the game with a 20k soul disadvantage.

if youre happy and you know it lay an egg

i've had a vision in my head of the Deadlock title theme but the strings play the melody of Lost Girl from Deltarune, like a SiIvagunner rip. i need to see this made.

we do have to contend with the fact that the reason there is this like perpetual conflation funnel that turns aave and other black dialects into 'gen z slang' and memes and the reason non black performers keep putting on blaccents and the reason pictures of black people just existing gets turned into memes is the same and its because its all minstrelsy.

" Among Us Promise "

I promise you, in full not part

That Among Us Creatures come first in my heart

Whether it be night or day

A game of Among Us, I'd love to play!

Recite this promise if you would drop everything to play a game of "Among Us" - no matter the costs.

My hot take about the ableist, transmysognyistic puppygirl essay is that there is no actual reason the author had to compare the rhetorical puppygirl to men who use weaponized incompetence. Like, even putting aside the blatent ableist nature of the whole thing, it is still deeply transphobic the way the author goes out of her way to make sure that the reader knows that puppygirl is the transfem equivalent of every boyfriend who has ever used weaponized incompetence to refuse to engage in feminized labor. And its frustrating because that comparison does not have to be made, the author delibertely made the choice to compare rhetorical puppygirl to cis men when there are plenty of other examples of weaponized incompotencr to draw from. It is a known, documented phenomenon that cis white women weaponize their tears to gain resources over people of color. It is also known that plenty of cis women in domestic partnerships will engage in self infantilization as a way of exiting out of labor that would otherwise be their responsibility (ex: every 20 something yr old woman making posts saying that they are just too babygirl to have to order for themselves at resturaunrs or make their own appointments). And Tara had every opportunity to acknowledge how these patterns can appear in trans communities as well, but she just had to make the argument that puppygirl is akin to men in her role. But Tara does not have some kind of nuance about the nature of gendered labor, and she cant make her clean cut supposedly feminist arguments if she didn't directly compare any instance of weaponized incompetence to male violence.

Its frustrating because when reading the essay, it is very clear to see what she is trying to write, but she fundamentally fails to capture it. She wants to write a character who uses weaponized incompetence, but she instead writes a character who has high support needs and a failing support system. She wants to write about gendered labor and instead writes about the failure of communication and boundaries in a domestic partnership. She wants to write about male violence and instead she writes about female self infantilization.

At the end of the day, Tara accidentally wrote an essay about the failure of basic principles for healthy relationships in thr context of someone who struggles deeply with her mental health. Its an essay that does not realize thst it is less about weaponized incompetence and more about boundaries, communication, support systems, respect, mutual empathy. it paints a picture that is unimaginably cruel. It paints a picture that leaves no room for mediation and sells a 1-size-fits-all solution for common strains that can come on a relationship when one partner has high support needs.

hope this teaches everyone that if anyone is sprouting anti-sex work rhetoric, they are Not a transfeminist.

Also, anti kink rhetoric

Looking at you Miss Dump your (Kink label that is definitely not being demonised by a Dworkin Stan on purpose)

Recently, noted transfeminist Tara Knight published the article “Dump your puppygirl.” To speak bluntly: it was not good.

As the kind of woman being caricatured, I have a few things I'd like to say about "Dump your puppygirl."

wow, having this shitty, draining partner is really stressful and unfair. if only i could adjust my dating strategy and boundaries to avoid being taken advantage of again...

well, guess i'll be transphobic about it.

why engage with the actions of a single person that hurt you when you just can disengage and pin it on some broader social ill you've diagnosed, and reduce people down to numbers and figures such that you don't even realize that you're accusing other trans girls of performing womanhood for convenience because they're into the same kink subculture as your ex?

who could have expected that trying to constantly describe human behavior with rigid formulas and assign human beings to named variables would give way to dehumanizing rhetoric?
