Well see I don't like the term "white genocide" because that implies whites are people and it makes me really uncomfortable that you would compare them to real people

[stillnaomi]

I know I'm late to the party but people are really out here celebrating mamdani for saying stern things about netanyahu, like he hasn't also helped zionists like brad lander win elections in the US, or kept a zionist on as nyc police commissioner. if you really think that performative nonsense beats materially aiding zionism, your politics support genocide and ethnic cleansing

[tamamita]

If Mamdani was serious about international law, he would've done his best to ensure the release of Maduro or stopped the illegal sales of Palestinian land taking place in NYC shuls, but he did not. Instead, he kept the Zionist police commissioner in place, condemned Venezuela, Cuba and the Palestinian resistance, and sent cops to harass Pro-Palestinian protesters. The entire "democratic socialist" movement is a sham along with Yankee leftism.

Sure this thing is only gender segregated in the first place because men are Hitler and don't want us competing with them, but we need to keep the trannies out or we'll have to compete with them! Let's not think too hard about what that says about us. Won't someone please think of the wombyn??

[prokopetz]

Frankly, I don't buy the theory that the repeated sweeping deletions of trans women's blogs have principally been the product of bad-faith mass reporting campaigns abusing automated moderation. I've been falsely mass-reported before, on multiple occasions, and nothing's ever come of it. Someone is pulling that trigger.

Signs of abuse, neglect, or mental health issues in younger people often get turned into a joke or a stereotype and I think that’s worth talking about.

The depressed teen that hates their parents has been a trope for years. Saying someone has daddy issues or that their behavior is fatherless is an insult. People call kids “ipad babies” and make fun of their short attention span.

It’s dismissive. Dare I say victim blame-y?

[alpaca-clouds]

Seriously though.

I have so many thoughts on the 80s and early 90s movies that were "teen comedies" focused on the idea of "here is a teenager who has a very valid reason for being depressed, but the fact they are depressed is a joke for at least half of the movie". Like, kids getting bullied. Kids having parents die. Kids having parents divorce. Kids being forced to move away from their families. Those kids have reasons to be depressed and feel down. How is that a joke? How is it a joke to have a child be anxious or grieving?

being a poc sucks because sometimes a movie comes out about discrimination and they'll have The Racist Guy, a character who's clearly meant to embody oppression and prejudice against minorities. and then you open up tumblr and everybody's like omg i could totally fix Racist Guy trust me guys!!! Racist Guy x reader 20k spicy slowburn #canoniswhatimakeit here's a massive gifset for Racist Guy he's just soooooooooooooo hot. you guys look like this

[420technoblazeit]

also if you say anything about it they'll be like omg just let people enjoy things!!!!!! like sure ok yeah. but this character does not exist in a vacuum, they exist in a piece of media that is making political commentary, commentary that you are pretending doesn't exist by blorbofying him. it's still weird

[malottie]

girl who is so so scared all the time. girl who once passed as 'smart' but now finds it hard to think. girl who's always half lost because of memory issues and dissociation and trouble with inhabiting a physical space. girl who is a failure in a way that is neither interesting nor endearing.

[kkatastrophiic]

this is so tragic

[estrogenesis-vaporeongelion]

i mean this so sincerely if you are a man in 2026 you should expect to be on thin fucking ice with the women in your life and if this confuses or enrages you then you are part of the reason why

[estrogenesis-vaporeongelion]

if you aren't even aware that we are right now all of us living in an ongoing worldwide antifeminist backlash, that is not a oh-no-cute-oopsie kind of ignorance. that fully goes past "complicit" and enters "actively part of the problem" territory. it makes me contemptuous of you. it makes me not want to know you at all. i doubt i'm alone in that.

[estrogenesis-vaporeongelion]

if you are an LGBTQI+ man & you think that means this doesn't apply to you, thinking that actually makes you one of the worst kinds btw

[melodies-stereo]

youre either a transfeminist or explicitly against the rights of trans women. i really don't think theres an in-between. trans women aren't something you can 'tentatively support'.

[komorebigold]

I don't have trauma. Right? I grew up with enough money, and parents that cared, and friends, and I was a joy to have in class! Why do I feel like shit then? Why did I have thoughts that no child or teenager or anyone should have?

Was it that I am neurodivergent? Strange enough to be mocked by peers, but smart enough to be praised by family and teachers for conforming to strict ideals. Was it because I was a girl who was ridiculed for not being MAN enough? Was it the fucking world wide cult that insists upon our evil nature that only they can save us from? Maybe it's because I don't understand why you think human relationships have to exist in one specific way?

Whatever. Fine. I'll deal. I have trauma, I guess. Stupid. Now I'm four bitches in a trench coat pretending to be a well put together human. And who knows, maybe there's more in here.

whenever the conversation about difficulty and accessibility in games come up i want to slam my head into a wall because noone thats speaking has anything more than a surface level understanding of what "difficulty" even is

[kirikomamura]

your game should have accessibility options, but if your only accessibility options are "turn off central game mechanics" then you have made shit accessibility options.

[kirikomamura]

you know what accessibility option doesnt completely fucking butcher your game while allowing almost everyone to play it? an option that is not available in 99.99% of all games ever made? easy:

[kirikomamura]

bonus points: if you put a game speed slider in your game you can also allow Absolute Fucking Freaks to turn it higher than 100%
