I got an -ocean- of shit for voice chat on Last Oasis while I was playing it - like, literally called all sorts of -real- bad slurs. I’m trans, and it’s fairly obvious, but I’m not at all shy despite that. Got kicked around and had folks spawn-camp me and grief like crazy ‘cuz of that.

‘I reluctantly still believe this is any of my business.’

My roommate laughed at me - an enthusiastic practitioner of S&M and not shy about it - when I started just fuckin’ unironically using a whip in my build.

Couldn’t agree more. We just have laws on the books that provide the absolute most basic protection on a local level (and, as I understand it, a Sheriff with queer family who’s about as close to ‘ally’ as a cop gets).

Can do, and have. <3

As a person for whom this matters a lot:

Volusia County (where I live, where they host the Daytona 500) has surprisingly strong LGBTQ+ protections on the local books. You can’t be a party town and crowd out the queers, everybody knows that.

I mean, first of all, Republican states are often shot through with gerrymandering, voter suppression, and redistricting which comes out to their best possible advantage. So figuring that ‘what the government does’ and ‘what the people want’ are the same thing is patently ridiculous; our current system causes people…

This is one of the thing that -gets me- about this conversation.

You should -really- disabuse yourself of the notion that healthcare of this kind is harmful; ‘biological intervention’ is making it sound unnecessarily spikey, which is precisely the rhetorical trick you’re kvetching about, only in reverse.

AND it’s a furry protag!  Fuck yeah. <3

The thing that gets me is ‘the dark blue visor for the Yoroi kit’.

I make premade muffin mix into pancakes for breakfast sometimes.  Fuck it.  Be you.

Notorious misogynist Bobby Kotick is a rich person and does not need to work for a living, therefore people who -do- need to work for a living will act like ablative armor for him until literally all of them have been ablated.

The only reasonable, ethical response to this incredibly-shitty move is to go exponentially fucking harder.

Tell me that you have no idea that your company is past its prime without actually saying ‘this company has peaked and is in decline’.

This...

Sorry to be that lady:

Came here to make this comment.  Thank you for your service.

Yeah, but especially in like The Ancient Forest it could be incredibly hard to keep track of all the paths and bullshit and the way to get from X number to Y number; no one in MP ever really used the numbers that I heard, like, ever.
