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

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

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.

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

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!

Yeah, and the dictionary has always been so good at being progressive.

TERF bullshit

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

It’s a community for women.

It’s talking primarily about inclusion within the community. And in no way does it create individualized obligations for every cis lesbian to sleep with every trans woman. Do you sleep with every cis woman you meet? Because I sincerely doubt that. Nobody is currently telling you, nor has anyone ever told you, that you

Exactly zero of those posts are about cis lesbians being obligated to sleep with trans women.

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

It’s almost as if refusing to protect trans people didn’t stop straight men from going into womens’ restrooms to assault children there.
