Bæddel flag designed by myself and my partner Cipher, and created by it.

Combines the Labrys flag, the Intersex flag and the Transgender symbol to aid in reclaiming the term with deliberate and explicit Intersex inclusion.

Now that the lead dev of silksong has publicly come out, I can share this funny story.

So, back in october I was at a monthly trans meetup just chatting with the other women there. We were talking about how all the best games are made by transfems, and I made the joke that someone from team cherry needs to transition. One of the other women cackled at my joke. At the time I didn't think anything of it.

Fast forward one month. The person who cackled at my joke brought a friend with her this time. I was chatting with this new girl for a while, getting to know her, as you do.

After like an hour of chatting, the conversation turns to silksong and team cherry. I casually say "My impression of team cherry is that they're all really chill dudes," and I swear to fucking god the girl next to me says, "Yeah, we are."

Cue me being absolutely dumbfounded. I actually couldn't believe that my offhand joke from a month ago was real.

Anyway that's how I met the lead developer of silksong.

Didn't even know this post was moving till it hit my dash again, I put it in the replies too but it is called a "chompsaw" and it's by Chompshop

They've got all kinds of patterns and such on their site for different creative projects, it does appear to be limited to cutting cardboard so if you want to do wood you will need something beefier.

a lot of the nonsense ppl say about testosterone makes a lot more sense if you just replace the word with "masculine energy", and thats basically what ppl mean 80% of the time anyways

Why would you use duct tape to hold hands ?

justsheerfilth1

Wait I’m a fucking idiot

onyxnoon

duct tape is one of those things you don't think you could get chemical burns from, but the adhesive can really fuck you up and cause scarring if you're unlucky.

Sam reich having a trans women are pedos moment was not on my bingo for this year

Clarification

um-jammer-tranny

it was my entire bingo card, seriously. this is dropout, and sam, doing what it always has done

knives-in-the-dishwater

...please look up the slang word "nonse" (with an 's'), and consider whether "nonses" might make a bit more sense than "nonces" in the context of a list whose other items are "hardened gamblers", "addicts", and "sociopaths".

y'know, "hardened gamblers, addicts, sociopaths, fools" at a race, rather than "hardened gamblers, addicts, sociopaths, pedophiles".

let's put our critical thinking hats on and think really hard about what he meant when he brought up being called that by someone wearing makeup

missstrogen

According to a friend he might have said "nancies". Which would be better, but would also be the literal transmisogynistic slur that nonce comes from. So not great actually!

hi, i was the one who sourced the video in question, it's the teensyville video off no rolls barred; this was a callback bit from earlier in the video, where they had been specifically speaking about lewis carroll, using the term 'nonce'. there is no misunderstanding here; sam reich did, in fact, say that it is quite ironic for a man in heavy makeup to jest about nonces. it is unbelievable for so many people to try to bend over backwards to make excuses for such blatant transmisogyny

irramdiated

it's also particularly upsetting when put into further context!!!! the blood on the clocktower community (which is the game being played in the video) has been heavily praised by transfems in the community for the number of transfems who are prominent players. off the top of my head i can name at least 10 transfems on the botc channel's rotating cast, a far higher percentage than its tme trans roster (and i believe equivalent or close to their cisfem roster, but i don't have an exact count bc they don't keep a documented roster for their streams) not to mention other major channels in the space that feature several very notable transfems. ime its regularly noted how safe of a community has been fostered for transfem viewers and players.

i must, obligitarily, note: a higher amount of transfem cast members (or the presence of them, period) does not necessarily mean a completely safe environment for transfems, either viewers or cast members alike. but at the very least, it demonstrates a marked effort to platform and support trans women as valued community members. an effort which, notably, dropout tv has not bothered to make. nrb in specific, the channel this happened on, is one of the botc community channels striving to make this effort, with one of the key and beloved members in their botc series being mara joy (who is a trans woman, noted not to tokenize her in specific but to highlight her)!!

so, to lay it out more specifically, sam reich made this joke on a platform that is expected to be a safe space for transfem viewers. he was a guest star on a show which has far less social pull than dropout tv, was one of the only white cishet guys in the room, and took advantage of that. i cannot stress this enough: sam reich went to a community that has a general expectation of being a safe place for transfems, as a guest, likely for the purposes of promoting his latest kickstarter, and he used that platform to make a "joke" about transfems being pedophiles.

it was also directed towards a gay man, who, like… well, we all saw the clip, it's my opinion that he looks pretty genuinely uncomfortable for a moment before trying to hide it by playing it up for the camera. tbh i find it disappointing that said joke ended up in the final edit at all! but the fact that sam felt so comfortable dropping that kind of quip given the setting and the current overall climate is so frustrating and gross.

i don't know. i don't fucking know!! it's an uncomfortable joke in a vacuum and worse with context on all fronts.

Ok but when you say "restorative justice" do you mean "hegemonic power structures need to provide ways for people who've done bad things to reintegrate into society" or do you mean "you, personally, someone with no hegemonic power whatsoever, need to keep forgiving people who've hurt you forever" because those are like. Pretty different.

tpwrtrmnky

Do you mean community as in "broad coalition of people united by some shared material interests" or do you mean "Discord server"

simonwastaken

Some bozo in the tags is saying that this is why prison abolitionism and restorative justice would put women in danger and another bozo is making this about the Amazing Digital Circus

Yeah? We're on tumblr. The bread and butter of this website's engagement with political concepts are:

I have identified a fatal flaw in this concept based on my surface-level understanding of posts about it, and decided to invoke harm to Marginalized Group to dismiss it entirely rather than see if someone has, perhaps, written about how to solve this problem in the decades-long history of theoretical and practical attempts to implement it.

Politics is merely a proxy war for fandom discourse, I see through you Howard Zehr, you're just trying to make excuses for the unforgivable act of shipping Garnet and Pearl.

What if you’re bad at making mats? Do you just get called AGP?

taliabhattwrites

I don't remember whether this was in Nanda's or Reddy's book, but I remember reading this amusing bit where a hijra woman called another a man (light-heartedly) for not doing the dishes on time, and I just cracked up. "Why didn't you do the dishes? Are you AGP?". We really are the same everywhere.
