I’m pretty sure ‘woman disguises herself as a man because society’ has been a trope for centuries.
And, again, I’m not sure ‘woman wanting to be taken seriously in misogynistic society presenting in a masculine fashion must be a man’ is as progressive as they think it is.

Also, isn't Gaza a warzone? I'm pretty sure states can interdict anything attempting to enter them. From what I read on Era in the past, Israel has a blockade, so this was a blockade runner, definitely legal to intercept by the blockading state. These people love the Houthis.
Running a blockade in an "aid ship" that's a yacht is so fucking stupid I can't believe people are falling for it. Either have something fast that can actually run a blockade, sail in a container ship that can carry more than a truck's worth of supplies, or a landing craft that can land on the fucking beach.
Just like all the shit Greta's abusers handlers convince her to do, it's completely performative for the Retardera online activists of the world. It's not meant to achieve anything other than to elicit more outrage, more sympathy for "the cause" and ultimately more donations to keep the grift running.

At least OP isn't quite as insane to claim Naoto is trans but weirdly uses they pronouns At the end of the day, these people just want to claim [insert character here] as a representation of their wacked out gender identity. You have to remember that RE types “found themselves” through the Japanese videogames and anime they consumed in bulk.
Usually while gooning themselves into a delusional coma state, like some bad trip or native American spirit journey. I think it needs a new term. Goonsuming?

Why a 6 month ban and not a perma ban for Cunt Eden? The cunt's been an abrasive, combative asshole for as long as I can remember.

Before clicking the thread I knew this character was going to be included.
Quote:Kanji and Naoto
Did they even paid attention to the story? Naoto dresses up as a man because Japanese men don't take the girls and women seriously.
Why are you analysing this Japanese developed game about Japanese people set in Japan through a Japanese cultural lens? Don't you know everything needs to be considered from an ultra liberal American cultural perspective?

Don't forget, these are all people who "transitioned" but are likely just effeminate men who want to reassure themselves through children's media that their decision to alter their personalities, birth certificates or bodies is the "correct choice" and that they were always a woman.

Not even a contest. Nepenthe abuses and belittles people from a position of power. She's the black Trump.

Also be ready for the quiet ban appeal to shorten those 6 months. No way he serves the whole time.

From the replies, it seems that one of Naiad's parents died from a stroke. Which is sad and unfortunate for her, no doubt.
But uhh.... why share something so intimate in that thread of all things? No other close friends to vent to? Did you actually build comradery over getting offended and venomous over attractive female characters? That's actually disturbing. And pathetic. There's not even a brotherhood sisterhood xisterhood to be bulit in a space where they each have the ability to backstab each other at the drop of a hat.

Yeah, Naiad should have posted that in the EcetEra section not the horny posting thread.

Like, there are buncha people across threads on this topic who are like "but there ARE demonstrations in the US if you even bothered to look!"...and then you google it and it's 6 bored people loosely loitering in front of the post office in Boise for an hour, 3 saturdays ago.
Problem is you guys voted for a wannabe dictator… twice. And he is genuinely pushing it to just ignore.
One thing is being a self righteous paranoid leftie and other is misguided indifference. There is no going to be a dictatorship but you guys are really gonna have some bad year coming just for the shitstain Trump is going to left.
At least those 6 people are doing something as ineffective it is.

Spoiler: (click to show)(click to hide) why did they repeat the plot point of a nice friendly law enforcement guy named A__chi being secretly evil, why would you do that
Because is playing with genre of the Gentleman Thief. The characters are also different and not so similar motives (Adachi was almost an unapologetic psychopath).
Also, is kind of hilarious how the narrative of Persona 5 acknowledges that he wasn’t fooling anyone of the main characters.
IMO, I think the build up to the big bad godly entity is better in P5 than P4, mostly because it doesn’t feel it comes from nowhere.

You rarely ever hear of "The Germans"in films that touch on the war, but you certainly do hear about "The Nazis" quite a bit.
Make no mistake, the Nazis may have never had majority support politically, but they certainly had the popular support once they came into power. The army too may have resisted initially, but they always had the power to remove Hitler and there were many conspiracies to do just that and they never did. That's because the German military cohort shared the same ambitions as Hitler and the Nazis.

Before I was born my mom was so sure that I was going to be a girl that she bought a bunch of dresses and girl clothes and toys and then I turned out to be you know a guy. Well she still dressed me up in those clothes and took pictures before she got rid of them. Does this mean my mom was really progressive for 1980?

This new narrative comes up more and more. They just completely ignore that the Germans gleefully invaded Poland and France. It went to shit before the gates of Moscow when the methheads tweaked in the snow and Fritz Todt realized there was no way they could afford to conquer let alone occupy the Soviet Union after missing the Christmas deadline.
Wtf there are MS games coming out with a physical version on PS5 but not on Xbox
