This is irrelevant. Trump decided whether the USA responds if a NATO state is attacked. If he says they won't respond, NATO is dead. The senate is utterly meaningless to the reality on the ground.

I don't believe for a second that the United States and Trump would abandon Europe if it were attacked. We must not forget that his wife is from Slovenia, and that his mother was Scottish; he has strong ties in Europe, and I am sure that despite everything he says, he will actually rush to help Europe at the first sign of trouble.

I think the broader issue with the "N-word" is that Era permits it in basically every imaginable case other than Jews.

I'm not saying they should be allowed to call Jews Nazis, but since it's never treated as a sensitive or high-impact word (Trump is a Nazi, JK Rowling is a Nazi, Warren Ellis is a Nazi), then suddenly getting popped in the context of Israel seems incongruous. 

I mean, consider that the word "cunt" has more consistent enforcement.

"But they're acting like Nazis!" is a weak argument. The stronger argument is "But you allow us to use it as half-assed shorthand for 'no-no people' in literally every other context". But then in order to make that argument, they'd have to admit that is what they're actually doing in other cases and no different than what they wish they could do here.

I can't help but feel like this story breaking yesterday was supposed to be the media's big, obligatory F U to the trans community for Trans Day of Visibility but honestly...it's pretty meh. Like ok, some people will kink-shame, some won't, some will feel assured in their transphobia because it's propably how many people misconceptualize being trans but in the overall scheme of things the press seems to kinda slip...? Not that I think they want to but that they now spent nearly 10 years in breathless hystery about trans people they just seem to be bound to be out of ideas I hope.

Edit:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/so-kristi-noem-and-her-husband.1479310/page-2#post-153300907

So speaking to somebody formerly into certain parts of the kink community that crossed over to this? It's all size fascination it literally comes down to that! I swear half of the people who wore those tended to like their women if they were still into the idea of being with their wives and they both consented to have a at least foot long strap-on with them at all times!

Mind you the odd thing is in a lot of cases, a lot of them like to display themselves as members and like meetups and those kind of places, but the thing was they just wanted the anticipation of having something that large and showing themselves off that way. It's a part of a whole thing

It was never my kink, for me it was just a bit too much public degradation for my taste. But then again the group ended up getting banned because one of the people decided to have her husband take off his top and nearly exposes chest with the padding underneath and feed him a kid's meal at a Red Robin once... You know we had rules at munches for a reason lol

(Up until then it was a rather fun time)

Edit: Might as well put the whole post.

[BIONIC]

Was literally about to post that with the exact same emote

[Daffy Duck]

meanwhile the actual target of these movies, children, dont give a fuck 

my kid thinks sonic 2 and wicked are the best movies ever created, but still likes mario cause it has songs. which appears to be the main criteria for a movie to be good

also gives zero fucks about any of the games cause they arent on ipad, other than a once a month or so interest in playing mario kart.

Yeah this is what happens when all these freaks who should’ve grown out of watching this stuff and caring about reviews, care about reviews for products for children.

Imagine being the guy who has been okay with all the shit the Resetera mods have pulled but your breaking point is that you can't call Israelis nazis

Can't even describe the feeling of disgust and anger of reading the content of the OP, then scrolling down and seeing those comments catching bans. Just absolutely abhorrent and shameful priorities. This might be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me and this site.

maybe she’s out there on the ground building a community/starting an uprising, or maybe she tried to hook up knife the wrong person and got shanked herself

Maybe MOBA sold her in their fire sale.

maybe she looked at her life and said what the fuck am I doing, how am I even changing or helping anything

I believe at the end they concluded that it was very sus that the OP even made a thread about it.

What were those stats about trans people being murdered by intimate partners who were black?

The day Nep reflects on her wasted time and quits her admin role and steps back from Resetera to focus on improving her life is the day I quit thebire and finally write that novel I've been dreaming about.

Just went to this earlier today with my kids. I'm trying to parse it out in my head, but even more than the first one, this feels like a different kind of faithful video game adaptation in that there is barely a semblance of a plot and is endless spectacle. Which doesn't make a good movie, or definitely an artful one, but it's a fun experience if you are open to just taking it in. Which kids do all the time.

And I'd so much rather have fun spectacle than wasting time on a bad plot. I wish we could have both! A different animation studio could do both! But for what it is it's not offensive. Any reviewer who reviewed this lower than minions should be taken out back.

It's like John Wick for kids! You're not there for why he kills a lot of people! You just want to see it. And they beat the shit out of a lot of people in this movie!

 

My dude, if you enjoyed the slop, just said it, don’t try to rationalize as a mind expanding experience.

Honestly I think there has been always some broad conflation as you call it between trans and crossdressing communities from the crossdressing community itself, like the MTF subreddit (maybe the biggest subreddit for trans women) was recently found out to have a crossdresser mod for years that had to be removed because they were found to be allowing all kinds of crossdressers to post hypersexual content in the community carte blanche. Most older spaces for trans women (forums, irl groups etc) are more designed for crossdressers/sissies etc, and a lot of trans women only spaces both online and IRL have to weed out crossdressers that come to them in bad faith purely because they are horny

It's very confusing to navigate even for me as a trans woman in these spaces so I imagine it's even more confusing from the outside from cis people's perspective, it's very likely why there's so many laws and stereotypes about trans women potentially being predators and perverts, because there's a broad class of cis men (of which there are way way more cis men with a crossdressing fetish than there is self identified trans women) with a fetish who essentially are identical looking to how a trans woman can superficially look

Like many relatives and previous friends of mine don't even talk to me anymore because they think I'm someone like this, the confusion is deep in society

Could we get more clarification from the mods regarding this? Specifically, would referring to Israel as a fascist state, or Zionism as a fascist ideology contravene policy?

The comparison would appear to be empirically correct.

B-Dubs

Edit:

I'm newer to this forum, so trying to understand things a bit more. Do multiple users typically get banned without having a moderator provide clarifying commentary?

The silence regarding this thread is weird.

I fundamentally do not understand how you can stand by those bans, especially seeing what is happening today. We do not get to ignore the context of what is and has been happening.

What I'm trying to understand is the silence. What does that mean? I won't infer intentions without a full data set.

This seems like a great opportunity for a communal discussion and for building understanding.
