I support my fellow left-handed people BUT it's important to keep the devil worshippers out of our community. We are already under attack and getting accused of worshipping the devil by fascists, now more than ever we need to keep our groups clean. If you claim to support left-handed but don't include that you reject devil worshippers I'm blocking you on the spot. People will claim to support left-handed but then reblog from well known devil worshippers that have hundreds of pages of proof gathered from years of monitering their activity, and they STILL claim *we* are the danger to left handed people. This is sickening, there are good Christian children out there whose souls are endangered by those people
this goes for the right-handed people too! we must take stand against the rampant dextropalmophobia in our community! we are all devil worshippers in the eye of the state
After centuries of debate between linguists and scholars on the etymology of the word “polyamory”, the general consensus between experts is that the term was named after the early 21st century philosopher Renako Amaori after she became the first person to ever come up with the concept of dating multiple girls at once who are also dating each other. Many detractors who previously stated that it makes much more sense for it to be a combination of the root words poly - many and amor - love, have since retracted their statements after reading the autobiographical works of Amaori. Despite this widely accepted consensus, as with Homer and Shakespeare before her, speculation and debate continues to this day on whether Amaori was ever a real person

"sex is real" is a very funny thing to say to a group of people who very famously change their sex on purpose
a lot of people are arguing that orange is the hex code #FFA500 exclusively, but then they mysteriously call a lot of other oranges "orange," at least until someone hueshifts herself into the "orange" range, and then suddenly "orange" is only #FFA500 again
anyways a lot of people call vaginas a "female part," and then freak out and bring up chromosomes when a trans woman has a vagina. so were those other parts "female" or is it just the chromosomes? and if it is just the chromosomes, I guess you should stop talking about "male" and "female" bodies then, because apparently only the chromosomes are sexed and everything else is sex neutral, right? oh, suddenly vaginas are "female" again?
It never ceases to amaze me how much of anglophone's sense of morality is completely captive to whatever's legal in the US and UK. Every recent moral scare or discourse can be traced upstream to some bill that was attempted or successfully passed 5-15 years ago, before which it wasn't even widely considered an issue. Seeing supposedly progressive people turning hard towards sexual censorship and anti-sex education, justifying people getting arrested or having their income confiscated because "it's against the law/corporate code of conduct", forming witch hunts to brand random pin-up artists as sexual predators, and reifying conservative taboos... it really feels surreal when I still remember last decade how it was a common refrain to make fun of entertainment industries for permitting military propaganda and violence more than a half-naked body.
Similar feeling to. When it became evident that China was self-sufficient and not just a production factory owned by the west, and the US started an economic campaign against China. Everyone and their mother flipped their switch from fetishising Chinese culture (not a particularly good thing either) to vilifying every Chinese person they see and treating everything coming out of China as surveillance and propaganda from the 21st century manifestation of Nazi Germany. I was a grade schooler while this cultural switch was occurring, and even then it felt blatantly absurd to me.
I've had a couple of people ask for a digestible version of the whole "the real problem with Dungeons & Dragons is false advertising, not anything that's present in its text" thing I keep alluding to, so here's the bullet point version of that argument:
Dungeons & Dragons is owned by Hasbro. Yes, the same Hasbro that owns Monopoly and My Little Pony.
Hasbro wants D&D to be the only tabletop RPG that anyone plays.
In order to accomplish this, Hasbro needs D&D to be a universal entry-level game.
D&D is not a universal entry-level game.
All game rules are opinionated about how the game ought to be played, and as tabletop RPGs go, D&D's rules are more opinionated than most. This is not a flaw, but it's not what Hasbro needs.
D&D is also on the high end of complexity as far as tabletop RPGs go, and it's complex in a way that strongly rewards system mastery, so it's pretty far from "entry level".
Hasbro could produce a version of D&D that's at the very least less opinionated and more entry-level than it presently is, but they don't want to, because they've determined that certain rules features which run counter to both of those goals are critical to D&D's brand identity.
They also don't want to produce multiple versions of D&D tailored for different audiences, because they want every single D&D group to be a potential purchaser of every single D&D product; they'd be effectively competing with themselves for their own customer base if the published game was actually modular in any meaningful way.
So how does Hasbro square that circle?
Simple: they lie. They insist that D&D is in fact a universal entry-level game in spite of all evidence to the contrary, and back their advertising up with sponsored thinkpieces and podcasts and such to "prove" it.
Further, they've spent decades fostering a culture of play which conceals the gap between the game they're advertising and the game they're selling by ascribing any appearance that D&D isn't a universal entry-level game to the incompetence or malice of individual GMs.
The game the rules want to produce disagrees with the game the group wants to play? Nonsense – even the rankest beginner should be able to produce any experience of play using any set of rules, and if your GM can't, they're a Bad GM.
The game is hard to learn? No, it isn't – your GM is merely gatekeeping you. This wouldn't be a problem with a Good GM.
The upshot is that the published rules are more or less irrelevant with respect to achieving the desired experience of play, because they're operating within a culture of play which dumps 100% of the work of making that desired experience of play happen on the GM.
Indeed, much of what modern D&D presents as GMing best practices are really methods of working around the fact that the rules you're using disagree with you about what kind of game you're playing.
(It's not a coincidence that D&D's entrenched culture of play also insists that it's normal for GMs to be miserably overworked and treats GM burnout as a big funny joke, then turns around and loudly wonders why there's a constant GM shortage.)
The trick is, because you're still at least notionally using the rules of D&D, the fruits of all that GM labour are perceived as the product of "playing D&D", not of the GM's hard work.
In essence, Hasbro's business model for Dungeons & Dragons is selling you your own GM's labour with a D&D sticker on it.
It's a very neat trick, if you can pull it off.
Now, at this point some readers may be asking: well, sure, but not all GMs are doormats. What about "killer" GMs who do gatekeep and railroad their players and otherwise act like complete tyrants? I hear horror stories about them all the time.
That's the second trick: these are not opposites. The GM as human Xbox and the GM as tyrant of the table both represent the GM doing all the actual work of making the game happen. The latter isn't the outcome that Hasbro wants, but it's a logical conclusion of the position the want the GM to be in.
transmisogynists like to say a lot of uncharitable things about how growing up transfem is like in my experience it's like you put a girl into a box surrounded by boys 5 days a week and let those boys do anything to her free of consequence and if she complains then everyone tells her that it's her fault for not trying hard enough to fit in with the boys and be like them and she is actually socially privileged to be allowed to grow up around boys and they lock her in the box

need us americans of all types to start doing things of material impact to bring down the us empire before they claim to be anti imperialist. what good is you having a belief system if you don’t act on it, come on now.
Stop using Amazon! You don’t fucking need it. Download media for free! Stop buying random crap! Find a better local store to get what you need. Stop being blinded by your western privilege, and give a little of that up
can you also do things that matter
not one single twerf on earth has ever once argued that trans men have male privilege because it is a reality that's very fundamentally counter to the entire bioessentialist basis for their transmisogynistic politic, and saying otherwise betrays a total inability to give a shit about trans women and not center yourself as the victim of their abusers for even just five seconds
So many trans men love to use Abigail Shrier's Irreversible Damage's existence to try and browbeat trans women that talk about terves, but I'm starting to feel like no one's read the goddamn book! You will not see shrier use "male privilege" to describe any of the trans man in that book.
if you talk about sex as a social construction you’ll immediately attract a dozen queers butting in to say actually i think you mean gender☝️ sex is your real immutable biological essence and gender is what you dress up as
every marginalized demographic that contains men has a men's rights movement and all of them will resentfully insist that any criticism for their misogynistic behavior is really just prejudice towards their marginalized group & say the evidence is that this criticism is only ever directed at their demographic. and it's literally not. even the insistence that it's unique is not unique.
sometimes people on here talk about "accountability" in a way that shows they think that the person they've decided is in the wrong can't actually do anything to redeem themselves other than like. suicide.
