Yeah I feel pretty damn bad for that person. Jeez.

I also can't help but feel that all these online resetera type modern days tra's (both trans and normal (not using cis)) like that Katy something and Alejandra caballero have played a major part in the way normal trans people are being treated now.

[PogiJones]

Two women can be friends, you know?

/s?

These women clearly aren't.

Yeah, but there's a clear difference between platonic friendship & yuri. Splatoon has both.

Think of it like JJK, except Pearlina is MUCH more blatant than Gojo x Geto.

 
 

they're gay as hell and it's a you problem if you can't extrapolate that from the content

I love how Clicker Carl and stopmrdomino got hyper aggressive for the mere suggestion of that possibility while Neoxon mention his male OTP from a shonen anime. 

They're always so mad when anyone even brings up the possibility. Like they need to scream loud enough or it stops being real to them

Neoxon explaining it by bringing up another imaginary couple is hilarious . (Unless the manga goes some crazy places lol)

Well, yeah. Needing to destroy anything that remotely shatters their delusions is basically their M.O., whether it's about their fake ships or fake tits.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

I read it. I read the whole damn Benji post.

The conclusion I got is queer women want to play dress up with men to break gender stereotypes but are quick to throw Woody away when it no longer benefits or affirms themselves.

[benji]

There is a very fascinating psychological component to their need for absolute 100% conformity. Whether it's the demand that "can't you let us have this one thing" or The Adder revealing that children's media hurts him by suggesting real people are human or our favorite "trans women are women" chant there's this insatiable fear that someone somewhere isn't conforming to their wishes and they cannot abide by that.

And yeah, I stole that wording from Mencken: "Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy."

[HardcoreRetro]

I'm with that guy.

I remember when Blizzard added transmisogyny to World of Warcraft. Instead of putting in effort and getting a cool armor set together, you could now just pick the way you want to look from a list. Some of the soul was lost after that.

[benji]

Really, and I would never claim this as an original thought of my own, this whole social justice cohort is very Calvinist and Puritan. Our existing world is nothing but spiritual suffering where we have to deny ourselves any pleasure except from The Work that will bring us the guaranteed utopia when we triumph over the chuds. It's not enough to just enjoy the content, it has to have the spiritual meaning to it as well by having enough people of color or wholesome lesbians or whatever. This makes it more difficult to reject via personal disinterest because it's a betrayal of the greater spiritual cause.

I find the repurposing of narratives to be very interesting, so-called secular people just stealing the Fall of Man and Millenarianism as a ideological narrative to build their lives around even as they claim to be endless critiques of such underlying narratives.

The original Progressives in America were upfront about desiring to build a Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, the Marxists were pretending to do a secular science but it's the same story, the proletariat wins the Grand Battle (because God History is on their side) and eliminates sin so the Kingdom of Heaven begins. So while the openly spoken of religion has dissipated in much of the "Left" (though many politicians like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama openly speak of their learning from the tradition of Reinhold Niebuhr) the overarching narrative remains even among the Internet Atheist set. The problem is that it hasn't held up against the actual history of reality since the end of World War II: everything's gotten better.

Thankfully, insisting that you'll be right eventually has never failed humans yet.

I feel bad for her but is clear she still totally clueless:

I am at a queer/trans/enby kink dance party with some friends. I am scantily clad and wearing a skirt and high heeled boots. I do not pass well so this space is one of the few places I feel safe and free dressing like this. It is packed with queer and trans people just like me engaged in delightful debauchery and wearing very little. The music hurts my ears but I'm happy to be here, I feel overstimulated but alive and authentic. I am approached by a beautiful stranger from across the dance floor, she is graceful and stylish, like some modern Galadriel clad in leather, white lace, and industrial piercings with impeccable voice training. She compliments my outfit, I compliment hers. She tells me I need to shave my armpits if I want to look like a real woman. My two friends stand up for me and yell at her. They assure me she was just being an asshole, that women were supposed to be hairy, but I can't help but notice how both of them have hairy armpits and yet the "advice" targeted me. The wide range of bodies that people here tonight find desirable on cis women don't seem to apply to the women like me. I am the only one of us that doesn't go home with a hookup at the end of the night. I realize now she likely spoke from experience. I am still hurt by her words, but realizing the kinds of experiences she must have had herself to feel her words were kind advice hurts far worse.

Feels like she wants constant validation and doesn't register her that she had genuine (if flawed) friendships over the toxic ones that keep draging her down. Her shrink being a transexual is also a bad idea and smells that she doesnt like confrontation. 

t is years ago and I am still an egg. I am with my partner of 4 years. I am exhausted after a long day. She asks me for sex in the voice that I know means saying no will hurt her. I learned from her long ago men have high and insatiable sex drives, therefore saying no meant I wanted to have sex, just not with her. So I say yes. The sex is painful and unsatisfying, and I simply do my best to thrust through the discomfort until she cums. I feel numb and hurt. She enjoys herself but seems sad I did not cum. I assure her I love her. When we hold eachother after my obligation has been met and I finally feel comfortable and safe. We begin talking. She talks about the trashy women she saw on the street today, describing their cringe outfits and ugly styles and bad hair. All the styles and clothes and hair I yearn to try myself in my deepest and most repressed desires. I change the subject and ask her about work and family. She asks if I'd still love her if she were a man and I say yes. She says she would still love me if I were a woman. Something in that statement feels like a lie. It is months later when we break up and I move out. Now that I am a woman I look back and know from our years together that if I were a woman then she'd hate the kind of woman I'd become. That if I were a woman she'd still have the same expectations of me as a man, that her refusal of sex equated an impersonal not being in the mood but my refusal of sex equated a cruel refusal of love.

Like, a lot to unpack here that I dont think she is aware.

How different really is a ResetERA.com poster talking about the coming fascism from an evangelical insisting we're in the End Times?

Just look at our culture and the state of society and you'll see the work of the fash chuds/Satan everywhere. This just proves things are escalating to it in our lifetimes! (And that I, personally, am living in the most important moment in all of human existence.)

I SWEAR PROJECT 2025 IS COMING!! TRUMP IS GOING TO PUT ALL US QUEER FOLKS INTO CAMPS!

[Snoopy]

I can’t believe people actually voted for Trump and Biden. I understand a few people doing it for a laugh, but there are actual real people who genuinely believed in and voted for those 2 decrepit old fags. The funniest thing is the daft cunts are going to do it again. Get a grip America. You’re an embarrassment.

[HardcoreRetro]

Queer/trans/enby the classic MMO trifecta. Always love it when the queer and trans players aren't pulling their weight but they'll blame the enby. Classic MMO community behaviour.

Not voting for Biden in a battleground state is essentially a vote for Trump.

No, voting for Trump is a two vote swing, not voting at all is only a one vote swing. It's half a vote for Trump.

It's like the USSR all over again.

Comrade Jozef Bidechev vs. Chairman Dolankov Trumpski

I wonder if the water main breaks again before the politbureau opens up the ballot storage at 4 AM. 
Even the poll already has the race at 101% and is using photos that are a decade old.

[Snoopy]

I like to think Putin treats his enemies like he’s playing COD. Every time he kills a rival he shouts, get bodied nerd.

[Nintex]

Shooting Prigozhin out of the sky with an anti aircraft missile, blaming it on passengers playing with hand grenades and attending his funeral after clearing out all the wagner cemeteries and sending the remainder of his outfit to die in suicide missions on the front has to be the boldest political hit job in history.

[Boredfrom]

I just wonder where we'll be in 4 years

Bitching about the presidential candidates, yet again.

[Snoopy]

Probably voting in Taylor Swift

[Boredfrom]

Wonder how many people would easily decide to abstain from voting for Biden if Trump was not the candidate he's running against.

 

For me, I'm not voting for Biden at all. I see a man who currently has the power to do something as the actual current president being complicit in the eradication of an entire people. He's doing fuck all and in fact making it worse. My close Palestinian friends are in despair finding out they lost loved ones thanks to the IOF while they were trying to live their lives. I'm not forgetting that.

IOF?

The International Osteoporosis Foundation!?

[Polident]

What are the odds multiple socially isolated members of a former video game forum, who learned about this conflict within the last three years, all happen to have close friend groups full of palestinians.

[Straight Edge]

Enough with the limp dick abstainers. Who will be brave enough to post that they are voting for Trump to stop Genocide Joe from winning.

As likely as many of the era trans folks passing as real women

Whenever RE calls something problematic I instantly assume that it's probably not

Good mindset to have

Why this post is problematic
It's systematic
It's post-traumatic
Why it's grease lightning!

Fellow OCD haver.It set in during childhood along with many other disorders of mine. With age I'm better at coping with it, but every so often something happens to remind me it's still there and very real. Strictly speaking I'm not medicated for it but other medications I'm on indirectly help.

Is this the one with the headmates? Do they all have ocd? How many disorders can one reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeseteran have?

I'm not going to mock them. I sincerely hope Brianna now realizes the harm she caused by championing the very same people years ago that now want her dead. Hopefully what she's dealing with is just a momentary fad and the hate mob moves on.

Nah, this isn’t the first time she has been lepered by her own. She never learns.
