Simple and clear: please stop using a trans person’s deadname, including in your comments here.

No worries! I learned this by being gently reminded myself. I hope I came off gently to you, too.

There’s not really a reason to deadname somebody even when you’re explaining to someone that he transitioned.

I’m really, really excited for this! Nate Stevenson’s work is great, and I’m really glad this found a home. Annapurna seems like a great fit.

Every instinct Illumination has ever had about comic timing and meta-references or parent-targeted humor has been the precisely wrong instinct.

Sh0e is a cryptofascist who came to prominence during Gamergate. Her right wing grift fell apart and now she’s trying to grift liberals. Not that Balenciaga is good here, but you know. It’s all a little Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know and all that, and I’m more than a little worried that it’s going to be used…

But _____ being on this list? That wasn’t scary at all!” And honestly, that’s because we’ve all got our own fears and…

Have you seen the puckering around Toad’s eyes? It’s a level of detail that is hard to notice but extremely off-putting. Especially when these designs were previously so well-constructed and familiar, adding this level of almost-realism is just unpleasant.

It was always like this, it just previously wasn’t possible to fire up google and see how many of the actors in what you just saw had parents with blue names on wikipedia.

It’s good that his extreme rhetoric is sinking him, but it’s never a done deal and his being nominated in the first place platforms these ideas and shifts them into the realm of acceptable public discourse. I won’t forgive Shapiro and his campaign for picking Mastriano as his “most beatable” opponent even if he does…
