Hah, obtuse, when all I’ve been doing is try to clarify my message. You, on the other hand, repeatedly tried to shut me down by stating that because I wasn’t using the right words, I needed to “reevaluate”, I was in the same boat as “hate speech”, that what I was doing was “egregious”, regardless of how I tried to…

Even when the meaning of one is made effectively non-existent? Especially when we spend more time nitpicking on terminology than engaging with the actual content of the message?

To some extent. I’ve just stopped seeing the distinction between the terms once I started considering that physical gender/sex has no real bearing on a person’s identity, at which point (social) gender is meaningless. To put it another way, the physical is what you are and identity is who you are and gender in the…

It’s not a matter of being “not up to date,” as if this happened since you went to college - it’s a matter of being clear with your message.

What I outlined is not a “psychological/cultural concept of what a man/woman ‘should’ be”

Remember, the goal is for everyone to be “non-binary”, to change those societal assumptions, and you don’t accomplish that by having a special label for everyone who is different from the norm. Think about this: there are a lot of instances in media where you have a group of characters with only one girl, and being a…

Copy-pasted:

This is completely incorrect. Sex is the physical characteristics, gender is the psychological/cultural construct.

The existence of people who don’t subscribe to a gender binary doesn’t preclude diversity in binary identities.

1) Hence the disclaimer. But also:

2) Are we not all human? Do we not all share similar experiences, even if they are not identical? Is it not valuable for an outsider to offer a different perspective? You’ll notice that nowhere did I say “you must do as I say and if you don’t you are AN IDIOT!!1!1!”, I’m just offering…

So, disclaimer: I am not non-binary, I do not personally know anyone who identifies as non-binary and I am a cis, hetero, white dude so feel free to take everything I am about to say with a grain of salt, which is:

I feel like the concept of non-binary as an identity is kind of superfluous and honestly self-limiting.…

While I do appreciate the point being made here, I think you might have a few things mixed up. Specifically, that Robin of Awakenings was an “everyman” player avatar while Byleth of Three Houses has a defined character, when it’s really the other way around. Robin, for example, has pre-defined dialogue and hobbies…

I’ll always play a game on the normal/medium difficulty on my first time through as that usually feels like the baseline of how developers balance their game, and then on subsequent playthroughs I’ll bump the difficulty up based on things like how challenging the first run was or what incentives there are to play on…

Yes and no. Inventory space still exists, but there are periodic ways to increase it for free. The new Nightwave system offers Frame and weapon slots as a one-time reward each season, and any time there’s an Operation event that offers a free weapon, that weapon will come with a slot. There’s also more ways to earn…

Such as?

And what you describe is a mobile gatcha game or EA/Activision-made lootbox-fest. While there are certainly similarities, Warframe is an MMO after all, there are enough quality-of-life improvements that the emphasis is on enjoyable gameplay over pure gambling (indeed, there’s a story where they discovered they had…

If you’d actually read them, you’d know that’s pretty much the opposite of what I said.

It’s actually by design that you had that feeling of your starting suit/Frame already being really powerful; aside from the handful of starter weapons, nothing in the game’s arsenal is designed to be weak so that you’re forced to trade it in to keep progressing. Rather, it’s all about variety and specialization, with…

Speaking as someone with currently 1511 hours clocked into Warframe, here’s some words of wisdom from a veteran Tenno:

I mostly got that impression from my sisters and other women I know who are very connected with friends from college and former coworkers and the like. But, of course, everyone has different experiences as you demonstrate.

If you don’t mind my asking, if there was a guy offering a service like what’s discussed in the…
