The make believe approach that transbians use to try to get their way is another reason why they are losing the patience of the wider LGBQ community.

Quote:I know the thread title sounds a bit condescending, but this is coming from a place of genuine curiosity. Language is fluid and weird and changes constantly, so I'm not as concerned with right vs wrong here as much as understanding what people who say "merry-o" think when they hear it pronounced "mah-ree-o" in pretty much all official contexts.
I know that for some people with strong regional accents, they literally can't hear/differentiate between certain vowel sounds being said differently by people without their same accent. Take this thread, for example. You had people with strong southern accents in there finding out for the first time in their lives that "pen" and "pin" are not pronounced the same, and even when they heard someone saying both words clearly side-by-side with the different vowel sounds they couldn't detect it.
Is that what it's like with people who say "merry-o?" Can they not hear the difference between how they say it and how Mario himself and pretty much everyone else "correctly" pronounces the Italian name Mario? Or can they hear the difference and just choose to say it differently anyway, knowing that it's not technically the correct pronunciation?
If you're a "merry-o" person, please chime in here. I'd love to hear your perspective.

Is he saying that he thought he might be attracted to men but after soul searching realized no, he's attracted to women like a normal male? So did he decide he's a woman first and think "I must be attracted to men then" and this confused him because he wasn't attracted to men?
It's amazing the lack of self-awareness and the belief that all this nonsensical navel gazing about one's sexual hang-ups is some kind of important thing that means everything and must dictate how other people should be forced to treat you. Imagine if someone talked this much about how important their being straight is and how much they think about the concept of being straight. (Oh wait, transbians do.)
Spoiler: (click to show)(click to hide) 1. Men are gross and awful, I am not gross and awful so I must be a woman.
2. Men are gross, so I am not attracted to them so I must be a lesbian.

Been deciding whether or not to respond to this post as a human who spent years struggling with their sexuality until they realized I was into bestiality after much soul searching, I really dislike the implication that most animal-attracted humans should have an asterisk next to their sexuality and they aren't really what they feel or think they are, my sexuality is no a societal convivence and me being confused and lying to myself.
I also hope you realize that many people also treat the animal-attracted poorly, with the animal-attracted to this day treated as humans who haven't found the "right human" (or worse rhetoric about "fixing" us) or have sexualities treated as little more as a fetish; which can make the mentality that many of us aren't really what we believe we are quite hurtful, that people within the LGBTQ+ community see us calling ourselves queer and assume we must have an asterisk next to it and we're just confused quite frustrating.

Bless. Morrigan just cannot contain her raging bigotry.
I've known a bunch of gay and lesbian people from school and work. I have never met anyone who declared themselves "bi".

Quote:After living through several eras of games that sexualize women in every dang manner possible (even/especially young women), Capcom makes a game with a young girl with (and I hate even typing this but) gorgeous features, a new-to-the-world and naive and adorable personality, no pants (or wearing the same oversized shirt + short shorts combo Lily's got), a completely covered-up "father-figure" where she often visibly sits on your back and POV-smiles and bats her big eyes at the screen....
There's a weird disconnect between the people saying "there is NO WAY Cpacom did this on purpose" and the ones responding with "not surprised this happened at all". 😅😭
But anyways. Sure, it shouldn't have happened; and nothing about Diana SHOULD give red flags like that (to a normal person anyways). But ....well, creeps are gonna be creepy. It's basically that IASIP beauty pageant moment in a nutshell.
I feel a pretty big difference between the approach taken between Natalia and Diana. One looks like she came out of a haunted doll house, and the other has (again: RAAAuauauuuughghghghskdfjgksd 🥴 ) has that "born pretty/naive yesterday" (I'm not even typing the real name) trope all over it where she gets to be mature/helpful AND learn about funny people-things like high-fives. ✋🥹 (And if THIS feels like a stretch, then ask yourself why she isn't a boy-robot :P ).
