I agree, though it’s going to be difficult for gaming QA, partly because so many people have the idea that it’s going to be an awesome/fun/ideal job - “you play video games for a living!” - and don’t understand the difficulty/tedium/etc involved in doing so. Part of why they get away with such terrible wages and…

Body Dysmorphia and gender dysphoria are two different things. https://roygbiv.jezebel.com/stop-confusing-gender-dysphoria-with-body-dysmorphia-al-1583049920

I’m what my username says, and am also a poly person dating a trans woman.

I have an uncle who is a pretty spectacular bigot. There’s a Chinese guy who works in his factory. My uncle and his workmates (according to the “hilarious” stories he tells) endlessly “tease” the poor guy with the usual “ching chong Chinaman, no tikee no laundly, wai yu so tan” schtick, complete with “slitty eyes” and…

Most of the Gawker crew live in New York City or the surrounding area. Maddie, according to her Twitter, lives in Philly. It’s likely she doesn’t even own a car as it’s pretty impractical in that area to do so. Same with areas like San Francisco. A lot of the major population centers rely almost completely on public…

You know, this is precisely why I ruled out buying this thing once I saw Facebook (otherwise known as the place where privacy goes to die) bought it. Think about the kind of data this system has to collect to be useful. And while I’ve thought about it off and on for the last few months, the TOS is a nightmare made…

Pretty sure Fiorina is Lobelia Sackville-Baggins. You know, the unpleasant relation who keeps stealing Bilbo's silver spoons.

Chris Christie as Gimli Son of Glóin, a dwarf of the Lonely Mountain. Hot-headed, stocky, wholly irrelevant; this is honestly the most obviousthing that has ever happened in the history of comparing presidential candidates to Lord of the Rings characters.

he’ll piss all over it to make it “his.”

Oh, come on. Fandom always attacks the first teaser trailer, so there’s nothing unusual about the filmmakers defending it. The fan reaction to the first The Force Awakens teaser was mostly “How dare they have a crossguard lightsaber?” and “How dare they have a black Stormtrooper?” Now everyone’s saying it’s the best…

But Tom Cruise doesn’t demand that all his kids get parts in his movies...

When he started demanding that his hack kid be in every movie under the sun, it was time for him to be put out to pasture.

I’m going to see this film with my partner. I know a lot of trans men and women who are actively boycotting this film because of its lack of trans involvement. And I fully get that. And I’m cis, so my opinion on this doesn’t matter as much. My partner (a trans woman who is in her early stages of transition) and I have…

Well, let’s see. I’ve been a fan of MST3k for nigh on 25 years. I’ve never heard of the three people he’s announced for the new host and bots, and though I know who Day is, I haven’t watched a lot of things she’s done.

I always think it’s hilarious when people argue that “TERF is a slur.” Exactly what part of “trans-exclusionary radical feminist” is a slur or inaccurate? Oh, you’re not a “radical” feminist? Fine, then you’re a TEF!

Every aspect of that is bull shit. The only reason that you hear this less from trans men is that trans men are less visible in society as a whole. A trans man started the “We need to Pee” movement. Many trans men have testified before the legislature at the state and local level. Trans men have been at the forefront…

So every trans, and nonbinary person who stood up during the stonewall riots (and marked the first serious public discussion of change in the US) doesn’t matter? Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson didn’t help spark a movement for this bullshit. This is literally the attitude hinted at in the movie Stonewall come to…
