I cannot in good conscience like the above post. But i guess having a "partner" in their world, means someone who posts your ko-fi link occasionally on bluesky?

Tesstevy's post about Melody's ko-fi seems to suggest that Melody and Fat4all are moving in together. 

Typical u-haul lesbians amirite?

Fuck, that was cringey as fuck reading those tweets or whatever bluesky calls it

That would be the worst thing to ever happen to Fat4all.

No one ever seems to show evidence of Kneecap saying they support Hamas and they have said it's a smear campaign, while decrying how focus isn't put on Israel. I've seen both of you in Palestine threads and know y'all have history of being disingenuous whenever you bring up Hamas, purposefully ignore history or refuse to acknowledge how Hamas is more than just its military wing and is a governmental entity in Gaza, how they are Israel's creation from the '70s and their plan to divide and conquer by supporting them against the secular PLO. Y'all do not have the same level of ire (far more mentions of Hamas in posts compared to IDF) towards IDF, CIA, or other far more murderous terrorist organisations. Hamas has committed acts of terror and atrocities, no denying that. It's also worth acknowledging how non-violent resistance is met with murder and assassinations by Israel, so it's no surprise violent resistance happens and it can rise to the level of violent acts like suicide bombings. Bearing in mind that the UN doesn't deem them as a terrorist organisation, nor does Amnesty International, and it's mainly European and other European settler colonial states (USA, Canada, Australia) that have.

This is just days before the UK government decides whether to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, who have never harmed a single human being.

These are the flimsy grounds that the UK government can decide to call a group a terrorist organisation, like literally "serious damage to property":

What is meant by 'terrorism' in the proscription context?
"Terrorism" as defined in the act, means the use or threat of action which: involves serious violence against a person; involves serious damage to property; endangers a person's life (other than that of the person committing the act); creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or section of the public or is designed seriously to interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system.

The use or threat of such action must be designed to influence the government or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public or a section of the public, and must be undertaken for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.

First off, here's the video of them shouting "Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah" if that's fake or whatever, then my bad, but I haven't heard them claim that the videos aren't real and instead talk about the context. Though it sure puts his statement into question that he didn't know that it's a Hezobllah flag when he literally shouts them out while wearing the flag.



Also, I was in particular talking about Hezbollah (Was Hamas also supporting Assad? If so I wasn't aware of that). A group that was designated as a terrorist organization by the Arab League from 2016-2024 to by the way. But I'm not even talking about the legality here, and what is defined as terrorist organization and what isn't, but the contradiction of wanting to see people stop being murdered and then shouting support for a group that was involved in one of the bloodiest civil wars in the last decades. Like am I just wrong in seeing a contradiction there? I honestly don't know what I'm missing.

I get that it's supposed to be provocative, and they certainly succeeded there, but I'm lost on how it's a message of peace

Bearing in mind that the UN doesn't deem them as a terrorist organisation, nor does Amnesty International, and it's mainly European and other European settler colonial states (USA, Canada, Australia) that have.

The UN or Amnesty not deeming Hamas a terrorist organization is a meaningless fact as neither one designates groups as terrorist organizations or not.

The vote to condemn Hamas in 2018 in the UN:


It got a majority but the Arab Group had successfully passed a vote prior that required it to get a 2/3rd's majority:

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

The Organization of American States has also condemned Hamas as a terrorist organization but presumably he would dismiss that as he did the EU.

Look let's be honest.

New creep thread from Echoes: (END OF PRIDE) LGBTQ+ members of ERA, what sexy LGBTQ+ characters would you want in video games (fighting games in particular)? https://www.resetera.com/threads/end-of-pride-lgbtq-members-of-era-what-sexy-lgbtq-characters-would-you-want-in-video-games-fighting-games-in-particular.1231533/

Also side question, I noticed over the years and in my research sexy lesbian/bi/pan Pirate/Pirate Captain is very popular with lesbians and wlw. Is that because of their roguish charm, independendence (wtf?  ) and people finding the English West Country accent sexy?

Years of research reading and watching erotic wlw fanfic porn, I'm sure

This reply:

I find it kinda awkward nowadays, when we're trying to move away from sexualizing characters and demanding them to be sexy, to think that it's okay to do so just by adding LGBTQ to the phrase.

Chuds get critized when asking for more characters like Eve from Stellar Blade, and rightly so.

Is there a new black empower movement in the US where black Americans want to be the major minority? Or is she just ignorant.

[Jansen]

To re-say something I said elsewhere on ERA; a concept that I really would love for more games is being androgynous and butch being considered sexy and beautiful, a character who chooses not to wear bikinis and usual "sexy" fighting game costumes, but is still considered beautiful, like Rika from Pokémon (admittedly I finished reading Mieri Hiranishi's 'The Girl That Can't Get a Girlfriend' last week which helped encouraged that thought).

Who's alt is this?

I never see any threads about her groundbreaking albums but everyone comes in here to grandstand over who can be the most upset at a shirt she wore.

For people waiting on a response - stop. Beyoncé hasn't responded to shit in a decade and she is not about to start now. "You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation, always stay gracious best revenge is your paper" - Formation, 2016. If some of y'all put down the game OSTs long enough to listen to music outside of your bubble, you might be aware of this. 

the billionaire didn't make money of her racist shirt, what's the issue guys

The entire first page is dragging her for this as if it is a shirt she herself created and sold at her massive concert tour, and then dismissing her as too dumb to check her own merch. She wore a racist shirt, backstage at her concert, and made the dumb mistake of then posting it to her website and perpetuating that message, and she should be dragged for that. The false narrative that much of the first three pages is perpetuating is that it was a part of her merch and being sold, en masse, to fans at her concert, who were not aware of the genocidal language being used. These conversations are being had as if she intentionally hid a racist dogwhistle into her merch instead of making a criticizable mistake, and it is just one of the thousands of bad faith conversations that take place in heavily-white internet spaces regarding Beyoncé.

Where did they say it was more outrageous than that?

Hilarious_Bearious Melody Shreds I actually just tried to watch Mrs. Doubtfire the other day and ... found it a tough watch. Like, it's not the worst. But there is the already mentioned job interview scene (it goes "I don't want to work with little boys because I used to be one, teehee" basically). The other stuff like dancing to "Dude Looks Like a Lady" is whatever to me. But midway through the movie the two older kids find out it's their dad in drag.

This sequence ... is really fucking rough. Like, trigger warning rough. The brother walks in on "Mrs. Doubtfire" peeing while standing in the bathroom. He then screams and runs to his older sister to shout about some ~pervert dude in drag and how Mrs. Doubtfire definitely has "all the equipment" -- implying that he saw everything, while the audience only saw the stream of pee. Feels really weird typing that, but the brother strongly emphasizes the genitals here. The brother demands they call the cops and is only calmed down when the dad finally comes in the room to reveal that he is just their dad, and not actually a sex pervert. Even then, he is still visably disturbed to see his dad in drag, and doesn't even want to be touched by him on two different occasions in this scene: first with turning down a hug and then very reluctantly bringing his hand into a group circle as the two siblings and the dad promise to keep the whole thing a secret. Contrast this with earlier sequences where I don't exactly remember if the father and son touched affectionately, but I don't recall the son acting all macho or no homo or whatever previously; he was equally as warm to the dad as the other two siblings and had no reason to act differently until this scene.

Man, like, I'm obviously biased, being a trans guy and all, but I just can't imagine being some ten year old (?) boy and running straight to the sex-pervert-panic zone if I accidently ran into some (what appears to be a) woman standing while peeing. I honestly think I would just be confused, maybe curious. This scene just completely rubbed me the wrong way. It felt real ugly to me. Between this, and finding the parts where the dad interacts with the ex wife's love interest to be complete cringe, I gave up on this movie when it got to what I presume to be the final act (the birthday/interview restaurant sequence)? I just had no will to finish this movie, even though I'd been meaning to see it for years cause everyone regards it as a classic, and I hate quitting movies when I've already put time into watching them. And I don't mind sitting through... uh... should we call them awkward queer movies?? Like Tootsie. I enjoy Tootsie (but I wouldn't say it's perfect).

I dunno. I guess I'm sorta bumping a thread here but felt the need to give at least someone who might read this thread a warning about that scene in Doubtfire because it was pretty rough. And if you're gonna show this to kids... man, I ain't saying don't do it. Do whatever you want (and god knows if I had kids I'd probably wanna share some problematic shit that I grew up with as a kid too). But could you, at the very least, explain how the son's reaction is completely fucked up? Thanks.
