I really hope some TransPeople, the ones without body dysphoria and just social contagion, reflect about their lives and online rhetoric. Not agreeing with the republican bigotry, but to reflect if the online discourse is genuine and not shallow acts of pseudo nonconformity.
Is worth going ballistic in social media if some crazy sexually confused Simp takes your call for arms seriously enough to kill a person?
Is genuinely because you don’t want to “go back to the closet” or because the genuine social advantages you gain by declaring yourself trans (no, stop acting like a sexual or racial minority, old trans people knew better than playing that game).

Quote:Elitist fascist bigots and Nazis are in power. As Nazis are wont to do, one of them is murdered. A woman working at Sucker Punch makes a joke that disrespects the aforementioned good Nazi. The political climate and the hurt feelings of a fascist anti-free speech mob organizing a retaliatory campaign to cancel her, convinces Sucker Punch/Sony to immediately fold and fire their employee. This censorious harassing mob predictably feel further empowered by this and continue making a stink, turning discussion about the game into a cesspool.
It's because of everything except that long-serving employee.

I will say, during my brief time back in God’s country, I went to Jersey Mikes. Deli sandwiches are scarce and not great in Japan. And the cost was surprisingly high. Not $16 high. I got the normal person sized portion.
Now I’m reading the Subway $5 footlong is anywhere from $10 to $14?? Fix this shit, Jared.

If there's one group that's fragile it's those idiots on Era.
Quote:Here are peer‑reviewed studies reporting less flattering findings about political liberals in areas such as authoritarianism, intolerance of out‑groups, discrimination in academia, free‑speech tolerance, and subjective well‑being.
Left‑wing authoritarianism
Recent work identifies and measures left‑wing authoritarianism (LWA), linking it to traits such as higher negative emotionality, support for centralized control, and stronger predictions of behavioral aggression and participation in political violence, challenging the notion that authoritarian tendencies are exclusive to the right. Scholarly overviews argue that LWA individuals exist in Western contexts and often show hallmark authoritarian features (e.g., dogmatism, aggression toward outgroups), even if prevalence is debated.
Costello et al., 2022, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology: Introduces and validates an LWA scale across six samples (N≈7,258), with LWA predicting behavioral aggression and political violence more strongly than many other variables.
Conway, Costello et al., 2021, Perspectives/PMC overview: Reviews converging evidence that left‑wing identifiers sometimes exhibit authoritarian traits (e.g., punitive attitudes toward outgroups), arguing that LWA is empirically observable in Western samples.
Intolerance and ideological prejudice
The ideological‑conflict hypothesis shows that liberals and conservatives both express intolerance toward ideologically dissimilar groups; in practice, liberals frequently show more prejudice toward conservative targets, mirroring conservatives’ prejudice toward liberal targets. Follow‑ups find this pattern is dimension‑specific and often stronger on the social than economic dimension, indicating liberal intolerance is most pronounced when conservative targets violate liberals’ social values.
Brandt et al., 2014, Current Directions in Psychological Science: Demonstrates liberals and conservatives display similar levels of intolerance toward ideologically dissimilar groups, eliminating the traditional “prejudice gap” favoring liberals.
Brandt et al., 2017, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology: Shows social (vs. economic) ideology best predicts prejudice toward value‑violating groups, with liberals most prejudiced against socially conservative targets.
Review summary (Tilburg University portal): Documents multiple replications where liberals express more prejudice toward conservative groups and support discrimination against them when perceived as value‑violating.
Discrimination in academia
Surveys of social and personality psychologists report that many respondents—predominantly liberal—openly acknowledge willingness to discriminate against conservative scholars in reviews, hiring, and grants, with conservatives reporting a hostile climate and concealment of views. The original article and author‑archived versions document sizable shares endorsing discriminatory behaviors against conservative work and applicants.
Inbar & Lammers, 2012, Perspectives on Psychological Science: Finds substantial stated willingness to discriminate against openly conservative colleagues in hiring and peer review among social/personality psychologists.
Inbar’s article PDF: Details that one in three respondents would discriminate in hiring and one in four in grant reviews against conservative perspectives.
Campus tolerance for extreme speakers
An experimental study in Social Problems finds Republicans and conservatives were, on average, slightly more tolerant of extreme speakers than Democrats and liberals, with liberal intolerance partly explained by perceived harm from far‑right speech and asymmetric polarization effects. This reverses earlier assumptions that liberals are consistently more tolerant of speech, at least in the evaluated scenarios and stimuli.
Boch, 2022, Social Problems: Factorial experiment shows conservatives slightly more tolerant of extreme campus speakers, with notable moderators for liberals related to perceived harm and order effects.
Well‑being and mental health
Multiple studies report conservatives score higher on life satisfaction and meaning in life than liberals, a difference that persists across reporting periods and remains after adjusting for religiosity and demographics in many samples. Recent large‑scale analyses suggest a robust self‑reported mental health gap, while also noting compositional factors (e.g., religiosity, age, marriage) account for a portion of the difference rather than ideology alone.
Hicks et al., 2018, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General/PMC: Across five studies, conservatives reported greater meaning in life and often higher life satisfaction than liberals, especially tied to social conservatism.
Schlenker, Chambers, & Le, 2012, Journal of Research in Personality (author PDF): Replicates the “happiness gap,” with conservatives higher in life satisfaction, linked to differences in personal agency and moral outlook.
PLOS‑indexed 2025 analysis: Confirms conservatives tend to rate mental health more positively and estimates compositional factors explain roughly 40% of the ideological gap in self‑assessed mental health.
I aint readin none of this shit but I'm giving you that REAL. that RAW. that sticky icky science that they're afraid to touch. In a 2010 study propagandhim gave you some science. Then in a 2010 study propagandhim serves some science.

"cons focus on the negative" ...what site are you on?
"cons have a stronger response to threats" again, who spirals about every little thing, saying "I'm shaking rn," "it's not safe for me here anymore"
"cons fear new experiences" remind me, who is currently freaking out over AI and refuses to use it? (while focusing on the negative and having all these knee jerk responses)

a very serious article about how AI is destroying industries and peoples' livelihoods
https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/artists-are-losing-work-wages-and
Quote:Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI
Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.
however, the author appears to be desperate for examples and seems to have been tossing every random email he got into his article, I have no idea how this slipped past them
Quote:I used to make erotic furry fan art for a fee. Now people just use AI.
I got my start on deviantart, moved on to furaffinity and various other websites. I used to take commissions in the furry fandom drawing futa furries with big fat tits and dicks. In the past year or two my commissions have all but dried up, in the time it can take me to do the lineart for an anthropomorphic quokka's foreskin, someone can just go onto one of a dozen websites and knock something of tolerable quality out in no time at all.
AI has ruined a once sacred artform.
