IN GENERAL I think Hideo Kojima gets more credit than he deserves maybe. Like he's not a revolutionary he's a misogynist who makes video games about guns that often miss the political message they're Trying to portray. Like you could say that Metal Gear Solid is anti-war, and it is kinda, but it's anti-war for the wrong reasons. In MGS we're generally supposed to sympathize with the soldiers and not, like, people actually suffering from it for example. That's....... Bad,,,,

[blackscarblues]

I really don't want to seem rude or pretentious especially because I've built a following almost entirely off of Being a metal gear solid fan but you've got to admit that "war is bad because the soldiers from the imperial core get traumatized when they commit horrific crimes against people outside of it" is just about like the shittiest stupidest reason you could think war is bad. right.

I was 12 when the first of my siblings was born, so I have very vivid memories of the way my mother was excluded from a lot of spaces because people find children annoying.

If you think "children should not be allowed in this space," you HAVE TO reckon with the fact that you are now excluding parents (and very often women specifically) who don't have access to childcare. You are isolating people who are poor, or rural, or single parents, or any number of other factors that might prevent someone from having on-demand childcare. You are cutting them off from being able to exist in public. You are denying parents and children the ability to fully participate in society.

My mom spent several years only leaving the house to buy groceries or take me to school, and even then, people would still come up to her to complain TO HER FACE about how she shouldn't bring a crying toddler to Walmart. Entitled strangers would literally try and demand that my mom leave and come back without the kids.

"Why can't your husband watch them?" Because he was at work, usually working extreme amounts of overtime so we didn't get evicted, because landlords don't like it when you stop paying rent.

"Why can't you send them to daycare?" Because that costs money.

"Why can't your teenager stay home with them and babysit?" Because I also deserved to be able to leave the house for something other than school, and taking me to the grocery store was how my mom taught me to manage a household budget, shop sales, and meal plan.

"Don't bring your kid in public if you can't CONTROL them and make them stop crying!" Kids cry when they're upset, and being dragged around a store is upsetting! Don't be an asshole! Children are human beings who are still learning how the world works, and they don't have a lot of agency. You'd cry, too.

"Spank them until they learn to stop crying!" That's just straight-up child abuse, Jesus Christ.

What the fuck was our family supposed to do? Never go to the grocery store? Starve because strangers couldn't handle a toddler existing in public?

One of the most annoying genres of people on the internet are people who act like they believe science is one single monolithic thing. Like, you'll see an article saying something like "scientists studying the movement of tectonic plates", and then in the comments there'll be several smug people saying "smh why are scientists doing this instead of finding a cure for cancer", like. Why would a geologist be doing that.

Solid Snake

realizes war is fundamentally a part of human nature but no longer wishes to take part in it after the events of Metal Gear 2.

knows that war at it’s basic form is just one side versus another, and ideology and politics are just customary.

actively tries to get his friends out of the military lifestyle and to treasure their youth because they have a lot to live for.

came to terms that he was created by man, to kill man and accepts his place in this universe.

Big Boss

loves war a whole lot and will start some if he’s bored.

did not come to terms with how evil and absurd his ideology was until he was seconds away from dying.

much like my own father, had no presence in his son’s lives.

anybody else adore alyx vance bc i do. shes goofy she tells bad jokes and does stupid pranks shes an incredibly competent engineer and hacker shes a great shot she loves her dad and the rest of her ragtag family. shes the best and she deserves everything good in the world i love her so much

[inkzectz]

the smiler

[anglaised]

it rlly has been funny noticing how often ppl resort to using slut or hoe when insulting random women regardless of their sexual activity bc the only thing actually being said is a woman choosing to have sex is a bad thing and thus the natural “good” state of a woman is to have her sex taken from her forcibly, and they think this is like…a normal take and not indicative of rape culture and general misogyny plaguing their brain

"girls could NeVeR!!1!1! beat '''''males''''''™ in athletics????? it's BiOlOgY!??!?!?"

idk bud have you tried um. feeding them

[librarycards]

these murderous idiots are teaching young girls and women to be afraid of calories when eating a LOT of calories is literally vital for performing well in competitive sports. and then claiming it's 'natural' to uphold sex segregation bc of this imposed malnutrition. it's fucking crazymaking.

[librarycards]

the mechanics here are truly horrific. systematically deny [cis] women athletes adequate nutrition and hydration, overwork and injure them. deprive them of the ability to realize the true extent of their strength and skill. segregate athletics based on false ideas of "sex" based on generations of malnourishment and poor training. blame trans woman athletes for the mere possibility that one might beat a cis woman, while claiming that the cis woman's defeat is inevitable. create emotionally stressful and often sexually humiliating tests to "purify" competitive athletics rather than foster the physical health of athletes. continue punishing all women for daring to play sports + have bodies.

[asteroidtroglodyte]

Ok so lemme get this straight the boys get advertised their body weight in protein powder and girls are told to get by on uncooked foliage and I’m supposed to believe that the observed differences in gender are strictly because of sex chromosomes with no cultural influence at all uh huh sure hey buddy what kind of idiot

sorry gotta get my ‘friend that’s too woke’ on but I don’t think the solution to misogyny is more misogyny. like by all means rip into republican/right wing women but your critiques should be about how they’re evil soulless people not ‘haha they’re ugly/visibly aged. they don’t know how to put on make up!’ like i don’t fucking know man I don’t think any woman at all should be required to wear makeup or be made fun of for not wearing it ‘properly’ also let’s stop doing the ‘not conventionally attractive = morally bad’ thing. that last part especially be kicking y’all asses.
