The golden ring of hell.

Oh brother... All the poor VFX artists slaving away in front of their computers from now until November working 22 hour days on the fucking Sonic The Hedgehog movie. It sounds like the lowest ring of hell.
But even if you feel addressing, or really just acknowledging their existence, the issues is political, silencing them is then just as political.
I disagree. Everything is political, because politics is about our society, and who it’s for. When people say they don’t want to bring politics into something, what they are really saying is that they want to maintain society’s status quo and pretend anything that is “other” doesn’t exist, or is too indecent to be…
Addressing (or simply mentioning) racism/racial discrimination, sexuality, gender, and the like are not political statements. Smh.
God damn Randy just can’t go one day without being a fucking idiot.
Lol. I’m going to play the fuck out of BL3 regardless, but this is too much.
If the argument isn’t “they have an advantage,” then what is the argument? And if they argument IS “they have an advantage” but also “they don’t perform at the elite level as well as cis people,” then... what are we even doing?
And the fact of the matter is that we do already indirectly account for those sorts of inherent differences like height and reach. That’s why combat sports have weight classes.
Okay! Receipts! How many trans Olympians are there at all? How many of these supposed trans superwomen are Olympic athletes? Everybody wants to talk about Mary Gregory, because she’s amazing and that’s horrible to be amazing and trans at the same time. But there being one world-class trans athlete means nothing, when…
What I’m saying, is that a male could be an average to above average athlete with zero chance of making the Olympics as a man. But, after transitioning, they are able to perform at an elite level as a woman. I would consider any Olympic athlete to be elite, not just the medalists.
You’re gonna tell me that trans women shouldn’t compete because sometimes they have longer reach, and then tell me that I’M reaching when I point out that sometimes people have long arms? There’s a pun in there, but there’s also a wildly disingenuous argument and the two are too intersected for me to really suss it…
Okay? It’s a thing that happens in combat sports. If Fox didn’t do it, people would be pissed that she had a good record. And if her record would be bad, people would be pissed about the amount of times she broke out of holds, or the amount of time she spent off the mat, or or or. It’s disingenuous to say that because…
Yeah, and it was just ruled that Caster Semenya, a cis woman who has always trained as a cis woman, needs to take performance-diminishing drugs to be allowed to compete. Everyone’s losing their mind today over some women just being good athletes. You think Mary Gregory would be unable to compete if she weren’t trans?…
How many of the zero? Well, zero. Because no trans person has ever medaled under their identified sex in the Olympics. So... zero percent of zero trans people, carry the zero, that means zero trans people.
Ban tall women from MMA?
...
Right now:
JASON YOU ARE TELLING ME THEY ARE LETTING YOU RESET CLASS CHOICES? This is literally the ONLY thing I feel is missing from the PS4 version.
