Are we sure JeffMarvel is a sentient human being? That's he's not some AI bot pretending to be human?

this might sound negative but I think moderation here could do better. It's been well over 24 hours since the last ZeoVGM twitter update got posted.

User Banned (1 Week): Ableist Rhetoric; Please Don't Rank Different Physical and Mental Issues by Perceived Seriousness

I'd really like to hear your opinions on accommodating for people with disabilities in other areas of society
Hey they're just such a small amount of people right, why bother with accessibility options in games or bathrooms or access to buildings... Sucks to be them tbh

IMO not being able to hold your pee is in no way comparable with people having physical or mental disabilities. Obviously having accessibility options for people with disabilities is a good (and necessary) thing.

And as I mentioned in that very same post, I'm not again options being a thing. Like, having special screenings with intermissions for people that have trouble holding their bladder (or would otherwise prefer a break) is fine. It's just that I disagree with the people going "All (longer) movies should have intermissions".

EDIT: Also, as I mentioned earlier, I'm not against the concept of the intermission in general necessarily, but it has to be build into the movie like in older epic movies from the 60's. The thing with cinemas doing intermissions these days (and a bunch of them in the Netherlands are doing them) is that they just arbitrarily cut the film in half sometimes even right in the middle of dialogue because the film wasn't built with an intermission in mind.

...and then one time you pooped your pants and a little poop rolled out your pants leg and you didnt know what to do so you kicked it and it rolled under some other kids desk and when it was discovered that kid got sent to the nurses office and sent home

...and then ANOTHER poop came out and this time all the kids were convinced that maybe a bunny was in the classroom and pooping and everyone got up from there desks and started looking for the bunny

...and then somehow you made it to gym class with poop still in your pants and during jumping jacks another poop came out and you kicked it again and the kid jumping jacks next to you stepped on the poop and you got so scared from anxiety you threw up and got sent home but it was a blessing in disguise because now you could go home and no one ever found out about the poop but really you think people probably had their theories

That goes beyond social anxiety to some undiagnosed mental illness.

Suddenly all the cock gobblers come out the woodwork

Not every staff member posts every day in the forums. People take breaks and some people contribute more behind the scenes.

What I can say that random sniping like that can probably lead towards an atmosphere where mods feel discouraged from posting in the forums or communities surrounding it at all.

Fairy Godmother is freaking cool and valued.

I know you're banned but for anyone else who may read this, I have to still chime in and say this is a ridiculous and frankly dumb as hell post, and completely uncalled for. Fairy Godmother had already been a mod for years before 2020, for one. And if she doesn't want to post as a regular poster anymore, that's her prerogative, she doesn't need to do that to be a good moderator behind the scenes (and frankly posts like yours only make want mods to post even less). And I know she was a good mod too, from my time back then. Leave her alone.

“This mod who hasn’t posted in three years is totally not a sock puppet account”

Morricunt is basically pulling the curtain back to reveal that the mods are posting on alt accounts and secret discords working behind the scenes.

[Boredfrom]

Her parents definitely fucked up, but she sounds like a dumbass if she never fucking bothered to search for the toilet on her own for a year. Seems she is easy to manipulate and influence, so I will not be surprised if her marriage with KetKat is a unhappy hellhole.

I don't know what any of that has to do with her upbringing.

Love how every post is answering "no" but this won't lead anyone to wonder if an imperfect-to-fucked-up upbringing is the "normal" one and not whatever fantasy they have in their head.

[Potato]

Seems relevant to repeat this post

That's what it comes down to with these idiots.
They're 35-year-old teenagers perpetually stuck in their rebellious, "But mum, I don't wanna clean my room" phase and see ANY authority as the enemy.

Everything is blown out of proportion and everything is someone else's fault.

I never understood the concept of bathroom denial when so many in class soaked their pants from time to time.

That Robin post is absolutely unhinged, when you realise that they were recruited into a sex cult by the staff of the website

Actually, I think they were one of the recruiters, they're pretty early in the TransERA thread:

Hey everyone! I'm Robin, a few of you might know me as one of the discord mods =). I'm a 28 year old poly-pan transwoman just trying to get by. I've been on HRT for a little over two years, really feel like I'm hitting my stride now and being the boss binch I know I'm supposed to be. I posted a few times in the OT at the old place, but it never seemed very active, so let's change that!

I just got a new job offer and am looking forward to starting it up on November 7th. I have no clue if I stealth'd it or if they're just way way chill. Either way, feels good! I started my last job in the closet and when I transitioned no one ever got pronouns right / it was a total mess, so I'm really looking forward to starting things off right this time!

Anyway, konichiwa binches!

Here's Ketkat in January 2018 talking about killing themselves and Robin coming in:

I've been trying really hard to deal with this but I just can't shake the feeling that HRT just doesn't hold any solutions for my dysphoria. I've been on it for so long, that I'm scared that I'll never really pass and see myself as a woman in the mirror. And I feel like my dysphoria is just getting worse because of it, because the hope that HRT would help in any way is just kind of gone.

For my part I went into HRT with zero expectations, mostly viewing it as a last ditch effort because I was (still am) deeply suicidal, so if/when HRT would fail for me I could just kill myself as that was my original plan anyways.

I don't like talking about this because it feels like I'm guilting people into responding. But if I can't find a way to make this dysphoria go down then that's my plan as well. I'm just reaching out everywhere possible before I finally give up

Hold out for what exactly? Its been 3 - 4 years. HRT is done with anything major. And that's not meant to be snarky or anything. I genuinely don't know what I should be hoping for that will somehow fix this

Hmm... a lot of those are little adjustments you can make. You can change the appearance of the size of your head by changing your hairstyle (get a style that draws attention to your facial features, rather than size), and proper use of skin care can help with your eyes and stuff. Or do what I do and wear glasses, which make my eyes pop. >_>

Not much you can do about a bigger rib-cage, but while you can't change your height, you can totally own it. I'm 6'1" myself, but I totally end up passing because I simply wear clothes that draw attention to my legs and make them look good. How tall are you?

Um, what? They aren't little adjustments, most of them are completely unchangeable things that scream man when seen in combination with each other. I can't change hairline, which affects what hairstyles I can have, for one. Shoulders, ribcage, height, hands/feet, facial structure in general, those things can't be changed. And drawing attention to my facial features, which I don't like, doesn't really fix the issue. It just exacerbates different ones while I'll still be fully aware of the size of my head.

Skin care isn't going to help the structure of my skull that has my eyes more sunken in either. These are all things that just happen when you go through a male puberty until you're 21/22. And for some people its not as prominent and they get lucky, but it definitely feels prominent to me and that I got pretty much all of it. And my height is around 6'0.

Where do you live?

Georgia,USA. Its a real "fun" place to be trans that's for sure

How long have you been on? I've been on for two years and change and I feel like I have my ups and downs with dysphoria / passing anxiety. At the start I was really worried about not passing and looking visibly trans but these days, I DON'T think I pass at all, but I actually like the way I look in many ways? Problematic, but when first starting out I'd look at typical "after" pictures and have panic attacks, but these days I've grown pretty comfortable with the idea of not passing. Never expected that. I don't think I look cis but I don't know, I found a place where I'm comfortable. I have a ton of body image problems but they mostly stem from being overweight. I still have feelings like "my shoulders are too wide, my feet are too big" but they're mostly nagging feelings and don't crush me as much as they used to. I'm a big believer in things like good makeup routines, smart clothing choices, etc. Which isn't to say I even wear makeup every day, but when I do knowing which choices are good for me, etc. Also this is an "easier said than done" but actually interacting with other LGBT, especially other transpeople/nb's and creating a real friend group on and off the internet helped immensely. I'm also living in New England in a progressive area, so I'm very lucky in that regard.

I'm 3 - 4 years into it, which makes me feel like I should definitely have all of this sorted out by now. Just going off the picture you posted on this page, I'd say you pass. But even if you feel you don't, was presenting what pushed you into making it seem less crushing? I'm in a pretty shit environment, so how I can present is pretty limited. The little I've been able to do just makes me feel out of place when doing it, like I just look odd, but maybe that's just me not being used to it?

There's a! TransERA! How did I not know!

Hi, I'm Kody, I'm nonbinary/genderqueer (they/their/them) and came out to myself in February 2016. That was a pleasant time. Everything suddenly made so much sense, like how my depression started the *moment* I started getting noticable effects of puberty. And then I became terrified of coming out to my parents which gave me such a bad anxiety attack that uh...

stress-induced physical health problems sprang up and caused so much pain that I started hallucinating to escape the pain. Had to force myself to the ER at 2am. It was expensive and a nightmare cause I'm already poor af. Thankfully I'm poor enough that I was able to get most of the hospital fees dismissed due to inability to pay. Sorry taxpayers :c

I'm hoping to get on HRT this year. Also trying to grow my hair out. Mom keeps forcing me to cut it short by saying it looks horrible (uh duh it's still growing out). I hate being 22 and still reliant on my parents. I want to move out and be allowed to be me. I'm technically "out" to them but they refuse to use my proper pronouns and are just generally unsupportive. They don't "shame" me or anything, but they're entirely apathetic to my identity.

Anyways hi everybody! Good to meet you all and learn that this is a place!

any other autistic people terrified of telling the truth (whether that be "lying by omission" or outright lying)

because you're so used to neurotypicals making assumptions instead of taking you at your word

and so if you tell the truth about something they always ALWAYS assume it's way worse than what you're actually saying

so like what's even the point of saying anything

Also there's this:

I'm also deeeep in the job hunt and definitely a little worried about how many game companies have been doing massive layoffs lately. But hey, at least I got my first game credit this month, and in a AAA title as well! Keep an eye out for me in the second credits scroll of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 by Insomniac Games! I was only an intern at Insomniac for a few months but the experience was so much fun.

I’m still stuck on how you go a year without knowing where the toilets are. Do you never notice the signs? Or even if there aren’t signs, you’re so incurious that you never wonder about those rooms you’ve never been in that other people are constantly entering and leaving?

These people think they’re the ones who’ve cracked peace in the Middle East and the equitable distribution of wealth if someone would just put them in charge.
