"I'm sorry that I offended"

"We are on the same side"

Just stop. I don't want to empty my heart out about how I was r**ed in a thread about fucking Alien.

But in showing me that we are same sides, with the link to your review, you made things worse. And that's all I have to say.

Alien has a pretty fucking explicit on-the-nose rape analogy for how the aliens procreate that even era-level media literacy could parse.

Ed Gein is my personal favourite trans person.

I really don't have the energy to write out several paragraphs detailing why the distinction above is entirely meaningless. How a central pillar of transphobia rests upon the fact that trans women *don't exist* as we are all men pretending to be women to seduce or assault others. How stand-ins for trans women in transphobic media can often be colloquially referred to as trans women when critically assessing the impact from such a portrayal on the trans community. A transphobic piece of media utilising a man dressing up as a woman instead of a character who is trans is a blurred line when the grounding of transphobia is that the two are the same. See one of Rowling's recent books for a modern example.

Morrigan joins in

Look, I'm sorry I wrote something that offended you. Genuinely. You must know it wasn't my intention to make fun of any of it. At all. But... aren't we on the same side concerning this movie? I actually didn't like my rewatch because of that whole ending. And I think I made it pretty clear in my review.

Again, sorry I offended you, it wasn't my intention at all.

You did absolutely nothing wrong and the other person is an obvious bully, don't worry. <3

Totally going to get banned for dismissing [____]

Like I'm not sure where it's lost in translation but that's my body, and the body of a not-so-insignificant amount of members here. Spat at, treated as so vile that one would need to wash their mouth out simply from having seen it. There is no degree of separation and there is no speaking to it being a thing of the past because, while you may not see a feature release do the same anytime soon, that reaction to our bodies is still extremely common in society. Not simply disliked, but rejected to the point where they are up for debate on whether they should even be allowed to exist. That is what banning healthcare results in right.

If people really want to be disgusted at trans bodies they should check out what that "healthcare" results in and the patients can't complain because it's a cult and there's no medical standards to meet anyway.

This person was raped by a turkey baster? I'm not understanding the complaint.

[PogiJones]

Real talk. Them constantly complaining about being fetishized honestly comes off as wishful thinking. The vast, vast majority of people have no such fetish. It's like if Biden were complaining about constantly being sniffed by young girls.

might be surprised, they've shown up as "most popular porn search term" on various US states for years

most recent one, it's west virginia

 

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

Judging by that graphic, you misread it. It's not a most popular search term in that graphic. It's that West Virginia searches for it more than other states, proportionally speaking, as all other search terms in all other states are compared against each other. That's why there are so many different terms for all the different states, with only a few that are repeats. Seems like they take the national average use of each term, then for each state, check which term in that state deviates the most from the average. No state is gonna have "dirty talk" as their absolute number 1 search term.

Seriously, I was shocked at how Elliot Page looks after their transition.

No state is gonna have "dirty talk" as there absolute number 1 search term.

like you say though, if that were the case, then you would expect to see only one word per state rather than multiple states with "black" or "furry"

well if you would like more evidence specifically of trans objectification:

https://www.pornhub.com/insights/2022-year-in-review

The Transgender category grew by +75% to become the 7th most popular category worldwide. Transgender was the #1 most viewed category in Brazil, and 3rd most popular in the United States and Italy.

“FTM” (female to male) searches were 8 times more popular than “MTF” (male to female), with “transgender threesome” and “transgender surprise” among the top searches. Men view Transgender videos +22% more than women, while women view the “Trans Male Transgender” sub-category +115% more than men.

Gen Y visitors (aged 25-34) view Transgender videos +34% more than other age groups, as does Gen X (aged 35-44) by +25%. Our statisticians also found that “FTM” (female to male) searches grew +202% among visitors to PornhubGay.

The most searched for gender identities are “non binary”, “gender x” and “androgynous”.

[books]

I don't know if trans porn is popular nowadays or not, but chicks with dicks have been a staple of porno mags since I was a little kid and that's not necessarily trans porn.

[benji]

You guys are making the mistake of thinking they're using the language of "fetishized" in the same way as everyone else.

I edited my post with a better explanation of the graphic. But yeah, even if it's bigger now than it used to be (no surprise), it's still not anywhere close to even approaching a norm. Furry porn is huge, too, and yet the vast majority of people are not flurries nor into furry porn, I'm quite sure.

[PogiJones]

If they mean "morbid curiosity," yeah, I can see how that could be somewhat popular rn.

[Uncle]

is it secretly based that pornhub says "the most searched for gender identities are “non binary”, “gender x” and “androgynous”" because that means the overwhelmingly searched "male" and "female" aren't just an identity but a physical state of being

[benji]

I don't think androgynous is a "gender identity" so I'm skeptical of PornHub's credentials on this matter.

Shinigami Eyes has removed the green marker from her Twitter handle so if you didn't think the brainworms were 100% confirmed, they are now.

 

[benji]

Should make a plugin that identifies problematic accounts and it's just random. Get to watch everyone come up with explanations.

Comparing a visual novel with a handful of reviews (AGAIN) is so dumb and clickbaity

Sounds like someone is salty.

Good games are good games.

WTF

Most people are going to bitch about the click bait title rather than discuss the game. Are you guys working for marketing the game?

On the plus side, based on that thread title we've presumably passed the height of the attack on trans folk by now.

Is always nice to see how insane are the most terrible posters of the site.

 There's some room for nuance in the conversation because not every queer actor is or can be out, but yeah that's a bad take.

You know that Princess Bubblegum VA has a husband?

[Uncle]

I bet they carve out an exception for a normally unromantic character who gets queerness sprung on them 5 seasons in

...for now

Looks like Brianna Wu, noted trans activisit and Gamergater, just setup and confirmed a discussion between Destiny and Ana Kasperian

Also nice to see ClickyCal getting called out making an outrage thread and it backfiring.

I mean you clearly made this thread to stir outrage. Do you want us to be like “fuck Stanley Tucci that piece of shit” or something?

Not sure how bringing this is up is "stirring outrage". I legitimately thought it was something very agreed on here, but I was wrong.

[benji]

Not sure how "goes foot in mouth" is stirring outrage, thought we all agreed that people should stay in their lane and know their place and never act in a role they haven't had in real life.

[Boredfrom]

ClickyCall is definitely a RE sanctioned Troll. Her avatar being Princess Peach riding a pipe made it obvious (is official Nintendo render, but come on…)Any other member will get complains.
