"if Jax is a trans woman she's still an abuser so she's bad representation so the show is transphobic" you're an idiot. you want your blorbos to be perfect ideal angels, I want my blorbos to be realistic, nuanced, flawed human beings, we are not the same. I LIKE that she's messy and fucked up and problematic, I think it's a realistic depiction of how a lot of repressed and traumatized trans women are. I think the show goes to great lengths to explore how and why she is the way she is, and to evoke sympathy for this kind of person. it doesn't excuse her actions but it does make them understandable. and I think the fact women like that deserve sympathy is an idea worth stating and worth shouting. yes she's a bully and she hurt everyone around her and that may never change. she still deserves sympathy.

if you are a trans woman you have to sing to yourself. if you voice train that’s fine. if you don’t voice train that’s okay. but you have to sing to yourself

[stargazersasha]

may every trans woman have a safe place to hear herself sing.

[gooseworx]

if jax transitioned, would she change her name? any ideas on what?

She'd change it to Greznedge just to fuck with everyone before later changing it to like Lilly or something gay like that.

[mortallyminiaturewerewolf]

My loathsome daughter Greznedge whomst is getting better.

It's hard to really get across how baffling the gatekeeping model of trans healthcare actually is.

Like. You say "maybe patients shouldn't have to put their hand in the pain box from Dune" and people go "but we should be careful". Okay. The pain box from Dune is unrelated to being careful.

[tpwrtrmnky]

"What about detransitioners?"

"Here's an entire systematic review finding that the pain box from Dune has literally no effect on anything related to detransition."

"Well it's important that we don't make people do things they regret"

?????????????????????

[tpwrtrmnky]

"So the pain box from Dune is expensive, has no demonstrable benefit to patients, many patients say the pain box was bad for them. We can remove the pain box at negative cost and it won't be missed."

"Have you considered that this radical activism is alienating moderate supporters?"

[emmie-time]

Ah, but you're forgetting the pain box is the point. How could we tell who actually "deserves" to be themselves if the pain box doesn't absolutely ruin all but the chosen few? Only the true trans people can withstand the pain box without going mad and begging for death, you see.

#my response is meant to be sarcastic but the american health system is built on the denial of care on the whole doubly so for trans people

I'm describing the Norwegian debate about the Norwegian system

gently attempting to explain to BT players that sometimes the "heat neutral alpha strike" concept hinders a lot of cool mech design elements that make certain mechs iconic

[mortallyminiaturewerewolf]

This is why it is impossible for me to care about the Hellstar. Where's the fun in a mech where there is only one course of action, give me some tactical decision making!

[npdclaraoswald]

A doll youtuber I watch has made a video about the history of Polly Pocket, and she's describing the plots of the dvd specials, one of which features an elderly woman named Ms. Throckmorton, and my reaction was

"The mural that upset a thousand TERFS." Lush Pride mural artist responds to calls for artwork to be removed

A Pride mural in a Lush shop window has sparked a wave of attention, with its creator highlighting its message of trans pride and visibility

[transfemme-shelterdog]

That mural fucks hard and honestly of all animals to give top surgery scars to, a tiger is the best fit.

I hope it stays up.

We watched toy story 2 today and they say suicide prominently in the first act. So whenever someone says "unalive," they are operating at a sub-toy story level of vocabulary maturity

THIS IS NOT THE END OF STOPKILLINGGAMES

THERE'S A WAY TO BYPASS THE COMMISSION AND PEOPLE ARE ALREADY WORKING ON IT

[roguesynapses]

Tldw; there is majority support in the European Parliament for a bill that would cover most of SKG's issues, and if passed this would bypass the decision of the Commission. There are also ongoing lawsuits in France and other places that would likely lead to some legislation. There is also a bill being worked on in California that wouldn't stop current games from being killed, but would stop future games from being killed

i need to come up with a way to say “i mean like, movies for grownups” that doesn’t make me feel like a villain

[cheaphalloweencostume]

*peeks in the replies* *gets really nervous and locks my house up and leaves*

[cheaphalloweencostume]

well, i mean more like La Piscine or Mulholland Drive,

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i think i am going insane

[mrblackhaironthestreet]

Apparently it is impossible for Tumblr users to think of a not ageist way to describe their tastes, because everything must always be compared to how inferior children are -- despite the fact that it is pretty much never the choice of any child or children when media aimed at them is dumbed down etc.

Things when bad: kids and children are involved!

Things when good: this is very Adult this is specifically Adult only Adults can understand or want this

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i literally just don’t want to watch Kung Fu Panda

[cheaphalloweencostume]

okay we’ve come all the way back around. let’s pack this up. this post is done. “who asked” you just walked into my post that i made on my blog..? who asked YOU?? am i losing my fucking mind?????

[lady-of-math-and-rope]

"I want to watch movies where the writers assume the audience can handle complex themes and sensitive material."

"Do you mean porn? Or are you being ageist? You're ageist if you don't like Kung Fu Panda."

[jheselbraum]

"There are categories of movie between porn and kung fu panda and I would like to watch them" should not be a controversial take and yet

Have a catboy page + his mech and unit logo! Name is Altalune Joy, member of the Ghost Creek Irregulars.

[theurbanmechcomesforthee]

why does the light gauss rifle exist. get a large laser and stuff the mech with heatsinks. heatsinks are multi purpose.

[theurbanmechcomesforthee]

CALCULATIONS

LG rifle-12 tons, 5 crit, ammo required

Large laser- 5 tons, 2 crit

heatsinks required: 8

Large Laser+ Single Heat Sinks: 13 tons, 10 critical slots assuming you aren't using the fucking 10 engine sinks of a fusion engine

if you can afford a Light Gauss Rifle you can afford to use a Large Laser

[is-the-battlemech-cool-or-not]

Good to hear.

[mortallyminiaturewerewolf]

Light Gauss Rifle is honestly up there with the LB2X in terms of "Why?"

Oh also the LGR explodes while the Large Laser does not, so even more marks for Lasers

Thoughts about BT:

1) The Marians are the edgiest faction in BT, and that's not a compliment.

2) Using Inner Sphere tech in the ilClan era should be a sign of a faction/person down on their luck. MixedTech is the future, and Clantech should be the standard.

3) The writers shiuld make Hungry Like the Wolf fully canon, and commit to Alaric Ward shaping up into a proper First Lord.

4) The memes and jokes get kinda tiresome, especially the ones that originated with the BPL and/or Science Insanity. Stop calling the Clanners "Soup Stock" and telling me that Amaris loved Golden Corral. Van Zandt exists in canon, yes, but the SS13/SS14 inspired wackiness that keeps being asceibed to it annoys me.

5) The writers should make it clear that the Belters are able to make complete human-animal hybrids, and stopbbeating around the bush with these weasel words and never actually describing them in detail.

5) CGL should get rid of Herb Beas as a freelancer and reverse a lot of his stypid WoB-wank/anti-cool stuff decisions. They should fire Tom Leveen and 'Doc' Swift as well, and retcon a bunch of the bullshit in Hour of the Wolf while they're at it.

6) Let LAMs use Clantech. Game balance is for idiots. Battletech is not, and should never be about, tournament play.

7) The Clans don't hit as many points on the 14 Points of Fascism as most IS powers do. They're a stratocracy, not fascist.

(seven flowers, seven thoughts)

[mortallyminiaturewerewolf]

I need LAMs to be a thing again, let us get quirky with the dumb flying mechs. Also Hour of the Wolf really manages to have terribly rushed pacing and yet be a complete boring slog.
