Trans women are the same gender as cis women.

The amount of "allies" that get upset at that statement of fact is criminal.

[bunnilena]

additionally, trans women are the same sex as cis women

Sex as an “objective” and “scientific” means of categorizing people is misguided at best and an active tool of transphobia at worst. Saying that a trans woman is in a separate category from cis women just because she was CAMAB is twerf ideology in the dressings of science to make it sound objective and undeniable

THE GAME AWARDS 2025 | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (2025) dev. Sandfall Interactive

[baejax-the-great]

It's about grief. It's about letting go. It's about fighting on. It's about family. It's about the existential horror of mimes.

It's about escapism. It's about surviving despite it all. It's about the wonder of the world even in darkness. It's about mimes beating the shit out of you.

It's about love. It's about heartbreak. It's about who the fuck put all those mimes here

[mcaelius]

sorry not to expeditionpost on main but this game makes me feel physically ill for a multitude of reasons. primarily not this one but like. it does absolutely everything in its power to humanise every painted 'npc' you come across for the whole game. you start in lumiere and you can talk to pretty much everyone you come across as both gustave and sophie, you learn about your pasts and theirs, you play as gustave for the entire first act, you find journals tracing every step it took former expeditioners to get to where you are now and you find their corpses everywhere you step, you continue to form relationships and build so much love with the other party members - and then you're confronted with the final choice you have to make.

you, the player, are aware there is a right choice for the wellbeing of the 'real' people of the game's world. you, the player, have also been playing an acutely suicidal protagonist for the majority of your playtime. what do you do? do you keep a child who has already been there for thousands if not millions of in-canvas years, a child who is meant to be dead, in perpetual misery for the rest of time, while allowing flesh-and-blood people outside of the canvas to waste their lives, wither and die? do you continue to puppet your dead brother's likeness against his will, and force him to perform unto eternity? or do you ostensibly commit genocide against these people you have been spending the entire game getting to know and love for the sake of the one family (that you, the player, deem to be) more real than the rest of them?

there is no good ending to this game. there is no outcome that isn't horror.

Have you seen Gracie? Officials in Texas search for missing giraffe

Gracie the giraffe is described as having rounded ears. She went missing from a ranch in Real County.

im crying dude

[fandomsandfeminism]

Yeehaw yall. Gracie is on the run.

[fandomsandfeminism]

To answer some common questions in the tags:

1. How do you lose a Giraffe? She apparently scaled a cliff that served as part of the enclosure (which the other giraffes in the herd had shown no interest in climbing.)

2. Well it should be easier to find her, she's a whole ass giraffe? Yeah, you'd think, but Texas ranches are fuckin huge. The man has apparently hired a helicopter and several drones to aide the search, but no luck yet. She's been seen on some game cameras on the nearby ranches though. But she's sneaky.

3. Why does a random guy in Texas have a herd of giraffes? Because it's Texas and we have basically no exotic animal regulations. No really. If you have enough land out in the hill country, you can just own stuff. It's fuckin nuts.

[nochd]

What's sending me is the "described as having rounded ears", as if to distinguish her from other stray giraffes that concerned neighbours might encounter.

[captaindibbzy]

I mean given Texas apparently has no exotic animal regulation the fact you might encounter another stray giraffe is low, but not zero.

So if Caine and Kinger finally have a father-son relationship… does that mean Kinger calls him by his first name, all three middle names, and last name when he’s about to unleash the full force of his parental wrath

[chungledown-bimothy]

i genuinely don't think there's much, if anything, hotter than someone clearly having a blast doing something they're really good at. doesn't really matter what it is. the combo of competence and joy is absolutely lethal to me

Feminist criticism of men's behavior comes from the idea that gender is a social construct, that men are not inherently evil and their behavior can change. If men couldn't change, the criticism would be pointless.

It is not necessary for every feminist statement to include a 'not all men do this' disclaimer. The criticism itself already expresses the possibility that men could choose not to behave in this way.

Unless someone states that men's behavior can't change or that there is inherent evil in being a man, accusing a feminist of 'manhating' because she criticizes men is usually nothing but an attempt to distract from the content of the criticism itself.

We should recognize such an obvious attempt at derailment for what it is and move on.

[dataandphilosophy]

Something I do appreciate about intersectional feminism is the vague recognition, at least some of the time, that we should contemplate switching out the words of a statement like this for literally any other group and evaluating how we feel about it.

[queeranarchism]

ok, let's go

Anti-racist criticism of white people's behavior comes from the idea that race is a social construct, that white people are not inherently evil and their behavior can change. If white people couldn't change, the criticism would be pointless. It is not necessary for every anti-racist statement to include a 'not all white people do this' disclaimer. The criticism itself already expresses the possibility that white people could choose not to behave in this way.

Yup, I still feel good about that.

Or did you mean I should make a false comparison between criticism of a group with systematic power, and criticism of a group that's systematically marginalized and stigmatized? 'Cause that 'switching out words' completely changes the meaning of what it being said.

do you like watching shows where you are in love with every single person on screen? do you often wish you could spend more time with them after the plot of the show finishes? then you should watch dimension 20, where everyone is very sexy and comes back again and again to be sexy in new and exciting ways
