Thank!

.....It's not that you're rude; it's that you're willfully ignorant.

Sorry to hear that, friend.

And I agree: anyone who uses Christianity to justify their hatred or simply being judgmental is running counter to everything Jesus stood for. And while I can't claim to be an expert on other religions, I can only assume the same is true for their own core values.

"To be clear, I don't mean someone like an extremist calling for violence against the community, but someone who cannot endorse it due to religious beliefs but doesn't try to actively change the way you or the community do things.

Finally, as to what it has to do with anything... well, you made it clear you left the blog due to the other members supporting Trump. Trump was actively against the LGBT!+ community. However, I have seen claims that any religion that isn't okay with LGBTQ+, even if the don't try to actively harm the community, should be treated similarly. (cnt in next ask).

As for being Christian Mod Vera, that doesn't say much, what with the many denominations of Christianity. For example, Catholiscm doesn't endorse the LGBTQ+ direct actions, but the current Pope has said that he has no place to judge the community and doesn't promote hate or actions against it. So it's a wide spectrum."

So...you acknowledge that religion and people of faith exist on a spectrum, but you still generalize everything as being anti-LGBTQ+? LGBTQ+ and allies of faith exist (including myself), as do gay churches. And the higher-ups of organized religion do not represent all people in their communion. It's such a gross overgeneralization.

Whoever gave those "claims" that any religion isn't okay with LGBT+ is dead wrong. The two camps have a bad history, but there are many who are working on repairs. And they are not mutually exclusive.

What...does that have to do with anything? No, we don't discriminate against someone for their religion.

And btw, I'm Christian (not Catholic, but still). So that's like, doubly irrelevant.

Thank you! I think I am heavily considering a DGS focused one since I like those games more than the main series, but it wouldn't be updated as frequently as the original. It depends though, I personally feel that the original mod was the absolute best at writing letters, but DGS is new ground, so it would be fun to see what people would have to ask.

Tumblr is a bit on the quiet/dead side though...I think it's more of a we'll see, but also am considering in doing it if there's interest.

Honestly, it could go a lot of ways. It could be that Capcom had Ema clarify "intellectual" attraction as a sort of caveat, as not to confirm anything else. That's if you're looking at the circumstances around the game's development

It could also be the more fun option, looking at characterization and subtext, that Ema herself (being the dumb nerd that she is) thought the two were nothing more than "study buddies." To her mind, it makes perfect sense that two like-minded women excelling in a male-dominated environment would be drawn to each other.

And that could be it. But then, intellect is attractive, for both Mia and Lana. It's easy to see how that could be a jumping-off point for deeper feelings.

I’ve been so worried for you all in the States these past four years, but of course, that’s nothing in comparison to the stress of actually living in the thick of it. I’m hoping Biden makes good on his promises, for all your sakes.

Yeah, I’ve read it. It seems their support of Trump is “selective,” but the thing they’re not grasping is how that’s not really an option. Trump and his administration actively hate people of colour, the LGBT+ community, immigrants, the lower class, basically everyone who’s not them. And no cherry-picked examples of supposed “good” is worth ignoring everything else. Especially when you give them money and then say “bite me.”

And you know what? Since Mod Edgeworth is asking questions, here’s my answers @askaceattorney. And obviously, I can’t speak on Mod Maya’s behalf here:

1. You’re sick of politics? So am I. So is every marginalized person. Here’s the thing, though: ignoring or not caring about politics is not an option most people can afford. It’s ingrained into daily life. Even me, as an out white woman, have to be careful sometimes, and it’s much worse for people who can’t keep their marginalized identity in the closet, like POC. I don’t know why I have to say this, but politics matter.

2. You wanted to know why we didn’t tell you anything? Easy. From the moment you told us you supported a man who wants people like us dead, we knew you’d never be on our side. We were scared. And not just of your pro-Trump stance, but your sheer apathy. How you shrugged it off and didn’t - and still don’t - understand what the big deal is, and are then surprised when we feel outnumbered, unwelcome and looking for the door.

3. The proof of the bigotry and violence Trump supported and empowered if everywhere. The January insurrection. The rise in hate crimes. His open mocking of a disabled person, and the charged language he uses to describe BLM protestors while telling white supremacists to “stand by.” If you can’t see what he means by a “great” America (or “supporting patriotism”) take your blinders off.

4. LGBT+ topics are not taboo. If you really want to claim to support our community, NORMALIZE US. Don’t write us off as “divisive”; that’s the whole problem. If you don’t know how to write non-het ships (which isn’t any different from straight ships, really), then learn. If you leave that wall up, it never goes away.

5. I’m really curious what is meant by “talking this out.” What is there to discuss? Is it not obvious that a MAGA hat is a literal red flag? Mod Edgeworth, you said it yourself: discrimination makes it hard to be open about your identity. It would be borderline self-destructive to walk up to someone wearing a MAGA hat and go, “Hey, I’m gay. Can we work together in the same space?”
