I’m sorry I support all jokes but cave johnson would not be supportive of trans women
Due to a recent accident in the labs, the boys downstairs have found a way to turn men into women. Amazing breakthrough, and we wish you all luck on your transition. And your job hunt. You’re all fired. Sorry boys, nothing against you. We just don’t need women around here trying to clean up the lab while the men are trying to do real work. Cave out.
the thing is threatening to institutionalize suicidal people doesn't actually scare them out of being suicidal it just means they don't tell anyone when they are getting close
On the topic of your paradox's video, I find the proof that "all horses are the same color" to be more befitting of the fifth category: One Guy Getting Very Confused, Writing it Down, and Getting it Published
it's very clearly a math prank though! it's just lying with slightly wrong math
That is true, but it seems a little too easy to see what’s wrong with it? If that makes sense?
Like, my reaction to it was the same disappointment you expressed at most of the paradoxes in the fifth part of the video
I think the trickiness of it depends on your familiarity with proofs by induction? because like it really does sound like a valid proof by induction. the fact that it breaks at n=2 is the only thing wrong with the fake proof
whether they're Good Media™ or whatever aside, I think mainstream liveplay ttrpg shows have been a fucking disaster for the hobby. it's hard to imagine anything that could have fucked the expectations:results differential for people more than having celebrities do college improv with dice (and an entire media production team behind them) and telling a generation of new players that's what tabletop gaming is like
liveplay ttrpg shows are not 'professional gaming', that's the whole problem I'm talking about. they're entertainment products which make format, content and form choices that would be nonsensical or obstructive at an ordinary table. it's not just "oh if only 'hobbyist' gaming groups (🤮) could pay for all that kit and lighting and professional writers and voice actors".
liveplay production involves story meetings aimed at making the narrative maximally entertaining to a watching audience (not the players, who are also professionals who are there to entertain that audience!). It involves editing (trimming out downtime, uninteresting mistakes, technical issues, moments where the vibe is wrong or there's friction in the room). it involves a room full of production crew watching every move the GM and players make, sensitive to wastage of their time and effort if things don't go to plan. and not for nothing, it involves an entire team of people who need to keep game publishers happy by playing and displaying their products correctly and certainly never criticising them or openly adapting around their shortcomings for the sake of the group's enjoyment.
I've played at tables where we've been lucky enough to have fun props and miniatures and printed maps and sound systems and even a bit of lighting, and where everyone in the group was a seasoned player with writing and performance backgrounds, and the experience was still full of normal natural constructive frictions that are largely if not completely absent from entertainment liveplay shows. player disagreement is normal. stopping mid flow to argue about a rule and look it up and help each other with system technicalities is normal. the music just not working today is normal. the party choosing a direction the GM didn't prepare for and having to adjust their in-character choices a little and tolerate some hastily cobbled together fluff to meet them halfway is so normal it's a running joke. someone finding a scene a little too much and asking for a break or redirection is normal. someone saying something a little ill judged in the moment and having to walk it back with as much grace as possible is normal. storylines not going to plan and petering out without major dramatic resolution, or npcs being ignored and cast off with a shrug is normal. all this shit and more is normal because a normal table is structured around the organic decision-making of a bunch of players who are primarily in it for their own fun and sense of transport, not for an invisible imaginary fandom slash consumer market. which are all the things that make ttrpg play inherently a pretty bad vehicle for storytelling, incidentally!
someone else in the tags expressed their frustration at these shows 'professionalising' the hobby, and while I do recognise and sympathise with the feeling that these shows normalise a level of polish and commercial buy-in that's destructive to the diy culture of tabletop gaming, I still have to push back on the idea that these shows are representative of 'professionalised gaming'. they're not. they're sports anime.
you know what, im done arguing with someone whos going to call me slurs and misgender me.
read the whole book or just read parts or dont read any of it. i dont care. im not breaking new ground when i post about how futanari and other things of a similar vein arent neatly separated from each other or from trans women. A japanese book from twenty years ago that got translated into english six years ago already said the same and much more.
"futa has nothing to do with trans women" is a false statement too often treated as a null hypothesis. its so obviously stupid i shouldnt need to disprove it, but it can be disproven quite easily.
i dont even really get mad about this most of the time anymore, and maybe thats because ive stopped trying to convince people, and i made the mistake of doing that today. so this post isnt for anyone who doesnt want to be convinced. you wont be. but if youre actually curious about the topic, or just erotic manga generally because the whole book isnt even about just this, check it out.
Since I’m seeing some hints of “futa has nothing to do with trans women” discourse again here’s a pretty good Twitter thread about the history of the term. It’s never really not referred to people we would now understand as trans women. That doesn’t mean it didn’t also refer to people we now understand as intersex. It means the two categories were not always distinguished, which might also be relevant to other terms people claim having nothing to do with trans women and only refer to intersex people.
what is your LEAST favorite stitch?
I don't like counted work at fucking all. So: the cross stitch.
reading this as someone who does cross stitch but is scared of the other kinds of embroidery is like overhearing an incredibly tall and buff person say they have beef with Mr. Tom, the kitten that chills at the bookstore
FUCK Mr. Tom and his stupid little fluffy tail ok. And his little charted designs.
Okay, but this neglects the true villain of embroidery stitches: the French knot
Don't you dare malign my girl again
Ok the french knot is very useful but it is a BITCH to do it consistently
We talk about how this website’s hate mail game is insane, but this might just be a new level
You know that cute way bugs wave their front legs looking for the next leaf to walk on I'm doing that to cute transgenders on this website
bug 2 bug communication......... :3
calling things "cutes" is so uh. what's a good word for when something is cute but slightly more cute
the word cutes is autological
they literally deleted all existing reblogs of that post from existence btw<3
To a certain extent I get that sexual orientation is socially constructed but I need you all to understand that lesbians still exist and no we will not fuck men or be attracted to men. Im sorry but its the exact same shit as "well gender isnt real so trans people are actually regressive"
And I do notice how this line of logic is used to devalue the existence of lesbians and not nearly as much for other sexualities.
Deciding to start watching Madoka Magica because I saw Homura in a dream then realising that’s exactly how the actual anime begins has been a mildly concerning way to start my morning
picky eating IS such a good test of whether or not someone wants to be an ableist bully in a socially acceptable way tbh. like do you need to know why someone is a picky eater and for what reasons do you deem it alright to not mock and dehumanize and infantalise someone because their disability impacts the way they eat. what justification for why they eat a certain way is good enough for you to not treat someone like shit.

a character being a perpetrator does not negate their victimhood and neither does their victimhood negate being a perpetrator. u can accept and reckon w both dimensions in ur analysis
there is nothing morally purifying about suffering or victimhood, it is not something that inculcates “goodness.”
one’s character has no impact on whether they were/are a victim or not, victim status is not something that is only afforded to the palatable.
it also does not = absolution.
ppl cant handle this in cartoons made for teenagers lets not get ahead of ourselves
"a woman who's willing to fuck men is actually more queer than a lesbian" actually i think you just hate women
i'm not interested in making space for trans men in lesbianism. there's no reason they have to suddenly give up their lesbian friends, their "community", but Lesbians do not need to make a special little bioessentialist seat at the table for straight men. it does not ever need to happen. this shit pisses me off so bad
yknow what post i hate? that post about how "sometimes a dyke will mistake a twink for another dyke and vice versa and they'll make out and it's not actually straight it's Extra Special Queer, even more Queer than usual!" no what you just described is at best a silly mistake. it's not More Queer for a lesbian to make out with twinks. it's not Extra Special 5D Gender Chess for a lesbian to kiss a man. why are you so obsessed with making sure every lesbian knows she should really kiss men? why is making straightness Queer the hill you want to die on? why do you hate lesbians so bad
"erm! actually! I'm not comfortable calling people it/its! it just makes me uncomfortable I feel dirty and icky and mean! why not just use they/them? sending love!" doesn't feel good reading once. reading it 12000 times on 4 different posts? fucking explode. leave it/it's users alone. you really don't have to share that someones chosen pronouns makes you uncomfortable. you sound like a transphobe.
