I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing

You can't debate a religion on what it says. Debating specific interpretations of scripture are what believers have been doing for thousands of years. You can only debate a religion on what it does. What are it's effects? How do it's believers behave? How do they treat believers versus non-believers? How does the religion control it's believers? What do its fundamentalists want, and how does what they want ripple out into even the most progressive sects? What qualities of the religion are inextricable?

Hell, asking what a religion says about property or labor relations usually gets you most of the way there, and the rest of the distance is covered by asking what it says about women.

A Trevor Project survey found trans young people who were unable to access hormones were nearly twice as likely to report a suicide attempt

A major new survey from The Trevor Project released on Wednesday (6 May) has found that transgender and nonbinary young people who wanted hormone therapy but were unable to access it were nearly twice as likely to report a suicide attempt in the past year compared to those currently receiving hormones.

According to the report – which included over 10,000 responses from trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer people – 15% of trans youth denied access to hormones reported a suicide attempt, compared to 8% of those able to receive care.

When you advocate for taking medical transition away from minors, you advocate for their death.

A lot of these people prefer a dead boy to a living girl

is seriously concerning how much the average persons idea of what shouldn't be allowed is anything that they personally think is disgusting

actually how many significant female characters fitting this archetype can u think of? and i mean their arc and role being actually substantial

belladonnafeli

Women don’t really get these arcs as much as men, but it does remind me of this quote.

#pandora egs and catra spop come to mind #roko qc is an interesting case because she was taking part in a very banal sort of evil #so she simply has her whole life ahead of her to do... better #her involvement in the AI Rights organization does speak to a desire to amend wrongs she was a part of #but they're wrongs where showing through your actions that you no longer want to be part of them is arguably enough to be accepted by other #I realize going and finding women who atone was not the point of the post but it's not *not* relevant to examine exceptions to the rule

celestia is such a funny character like she's constantly manipulating twilight and friends to do shit instead of just asking and you could arguably frame that as being bc she's a "god" and pushing fate to her design or whatever, except that she engages with the group like a normal and relatable person, which makes it more like villainous machinations, except 90% of this manipulation goes towards things like "I don't want my party to be boring shit again. put my little country girl blorbos in there with zero prep so they fuck it up bad"

you think you've fucked anything up around princess celestia and she's like heh. no worries. all according to keikaku

jukashi

Celestia instantly makes more sense as a character when you ignore the princess stuff and remember that she's a 1000+ years old wizard. Of course she does manipulative trickster stuff to teach moral lessons and/or cause chaos to amuse herself, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course sometimes she's actually socially awkward and bad at personal relationships and has bad ideas that she thought were good that result in her eating shit embarrassing style, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course she lets the aristocrats and nobles run around being assholes she's still running on wizard advisor programming, she's basically trying to merlin the entire upper class of equestria instead of just a king and some knights. "Yeah uuhhh we'll release the incarnation of chaos himself from his ancient prison because we think this shy girl can be friends with him", terrible plan if you're thinking like a ruler, amazing plan if you're thinking like a wizard. Just look at Canterlot 'Castle' for five seconds and ask yourself if that's in any way a castle. No. Wizard tower, yes. Wizard.

You are so right actually
