If you aren't overthinking are you even thinking?

[bogleech]

Do people even know how casually and pervasively U.S. christians believe actual witchcraft and demons are a tangible everyday threat? Because it should be horrifying that these people just walk around thinking that way.

This isn't harmless religious freedom, it's an untreated ongoing mass hysteria dangerous enough that these people have zero business ever touching any form of educational work, medical work, law enforcement or politics and yet they outright dominate those last two. Your local state senators quite possibly think little goblins from hell are as real as like, seagulls. And they think you're possesed and brainwashed under their* influence for not agreeing with them.

*the demons, not the seagulls...but maybe?

Last confirmed witch burning in the USA was in the 90s. It was committed by a pair of brothers who heard that someone in their town was a professed wiccan and they burned her alive. Only one of them has actually had the realization that what they did was wrong and we can't even be certain if they actually believed that or just lied well enough so they can get probation. This belief has real life consequences. And lets be clear: this was the last confirmed case. The hysteria could have produced more and we simply don't know or they didn't get reported as a religiously motivated murder because this country doesn't really care about reporting things accurately either when it comes to Christianity and its bullshit.

ss13 feelings and recent experiences

so the community is kinda shit yeah? Like I think we can all admit that no matter what sides of the various lines we fall on. The game itself remains amazing but it is SO HARD to find a community that isn't full of people who will use server culture and habituated aggression and downright 4chan's /b/ tier social mal-adaptions to justify whatever bullshit they want. Rogue Code's biggest champions rn are R*pewood and Azure PeaKKK, TG main is a death spiral, tg derivatives are all run by people too idiotic to exist in a sandbox where you are literally seeing slurs as creative as "the N word but L instead of N" being explicitly allowed under the rules, or by people who seem to appoint exclusively their friends and sycophants as mods and it just so happens half of them at least end up being sex pests trying to wedge the door open for children to get into 18+ spaces. And like, hey, my friend, the one I know will probably wonder if we're okay like personally if they ever read this: Yeah, we are, but this fucking game and its bullshit is getting to me and I do not think you are capable of changing the whole thing yourself and I wanna like, triple underline that you are not the reason for me being fed up with this fucking game. You just keep thinking its a sane choice to admin for it... FUCK NOW THIS DESCRIBES TWO OF MY FRIENDS AND AAAAAAAAA- Anyways, I've been in the weird situation where my usual red flags for a server not having much reason to play on have become completely ignored. Hell for a server I previously had all my usual problems with on lowpop and hard to find interaction moments. And its just lead to this actual community of people who are, definitely, in need of pushes at times (myself included holy fuck I am autism), but all having fun bashing blorbos into each other's blorbos. Anyways, if any of you fuckers who actually read this blog play, I wanna encourage you towards something: Play the information game. Let on like you know things with shit you say IC. Let on you don't know things. Pingpong back and forth when you wanna fuck with people. Say things that are utterly fucking innocuous to a normal person but which make, say, a VtM Vampire's butt pucker at the thought of the extent to which it would be a masq breach and THEN confirm you definitely didn't mean it that way. When you KNEW it would fuck with them. Its just so good. I have broken out into real life cackling so many times over the last couple weeks from it... GO FUCK WITH SOMEONE'S HEAD AND MAKE THEM WONDER WHAT IN THE NAME OF FUCK IS GOING ON

Lowkey I bet it felt good as fuuuuuuck to be one of the coal miners that got to blow a pinkertons brains out from a high ridge with a bolt action rifle.

You can’t call yourself a leftist if you hate children tbh, like you can choose not to have them or be around them, but outright hating the most marginalised group of people in the world who have absolutely no power or control over the most basic parts of their lives and bodies is a dangerous mentality to have and you need to grow the fuck up and get out of your edgy phase and start treating everyone around you like human beings, even the ones that piss you off.

It's always wild to find out that an author of transhuman sci-fi is an outspoken transmisogynist. Like, pump the brakes, buddy – you think personhood is mutable but gender is innate?

Okay, real talk now. People love to tag male characters in posts about women, but this post is gonna take this seriously. Is there actually a canonically male character you believe is a trans woman? Or at least has made into a trans woman for a fanart or a fanfic? Excluding the ones canonically implied.

Sound off in the tags! Link to the fanart or fic if available. Do it. Give me the girls. Make more women.

I have a chart for this ("estrogen would fix him" is the stuff that qualifies here. I could write a short blurb about all of these but I'm too tired to do that right now so y'all get the chart).

(Description below the readmore rather than in alt text since it's long.)

A venn diagram with three circles, labeled "estrogen would fix him," "estrogen would make him worse," and "estrogen could not save him (but it'd be really funny)."

In the "estrogen would fix him" section are:

Kirito from Sword Art Online.

Mister Priest from Make the Exorcist Fall in Love.

Cloud from Final Fantasy 7.

Don Quixote.

In the overlap between "estrogen would fix him" and "estrogen would make him worse" are:

Enciodes Silverash from Arknights.

Denji from Chainsaw Man

In the "estrogen would make him worse" section are:

Light Yagami from Death Note.

Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia.

In the overlap between "estrogen would fix him" and "estrogen could not save him" are:

Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh.

Sanji from One Piece.

In the "estrogen could not save him" section are:

Shinji from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Char Aznable from Gundam.

Quatro Bajeena from Gundam.

In the overlap between "estrogen would make him worse" and "estrogen could not save him" are:

Zenos from Final Fantasy 14.

Laios Touden from Dungeon Meshi.

Lazurite Roy from Arknights.

And finally, in the dead center of the venn diagram, are Shirou Emiya from Fate/Stay Night and Kim Dokja from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.

In a far corner of the image, away from the venn diagram, is Saber from Fate/Stay Night, labeled with her name and overlaid on a circular trans flag.

[shadaofallthings]

I have been on about this bullshit in various places for quite some time so I'm gonna say this: My theory is that Marie Iscariot is Shinji from a different timeline. This I posit that Shinji should at least go in one of the "it would fix them" zones.

It is kind of funny that there were so many Holden Bloodfeast-types in America who spent four and a half decades and the twilight years of the republic practically begging for war with Iran, and then they go it, and now they appear to have lost.

Like imagine being John Bolton and having your worst enemy finally give you what you've always wanted and it sucks utterly, and now you have to die in jail.

[prokopetz]

If nothing else, you have to give Gooseworx and the Amazing Digital Circus crew credit because they're all very online people and 100% had to know that making a show whose basic premise is "what if a bunch of people who are all fundamentally a bit exhausting to hang out with were forced to hang out with each other at gunpoint" was a fandom discourse bomb waiting to happen, and they did it anyway.

[apricops]

can I just say that we all owe Kojima an apology for Metal Gear Solid 2? He looked right into the camera and said “the future of information control will not be censorship, it will be drowning people in trivial noise and misinformation until people partition themselves into their own separate realities” in TWO THOUSAND AND ONE. Three years before Facebook existed. Kojima gave us the biggest Babe-Ruth-pointing-at-the-sky called shot of all time and we weren’t ready for it.

This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks.

Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people. I'm sorry, but it's true. Equivocate all you like, but it's as true as the day is long.
