Sometimes me and Stephen talk at work

Stephen: People talk about Kickstarter like it should only be used to fund brilliant starving young startups and artists

who gives a fuck who uses it

Me: it's because they want to believe their own use of the platform is inherently virtuous.

Stephen: it's just more capitalism

It's great and all, but I don't give myself a handjob in the mall parking lot because I did some really good shopping

I give myself a handjob in the mall parking lot because I know my constitutional rights

Me: I always forget the sixty-ninth amendment.

Stephen: "thou shalt get dirty when you damn well want to, and mall security can't do shit because fuck you you're not a cop"

#tumblr has added the ability to sort likes chronologically so i'm going through my early likes and found this gem #i was too cowardly to reblog it before

There's a certain subset of freeform RP fans who seem to be convinced that freeform RP is some sort of esoteric knowledge and not, like, one of the most popular online hobbies in existence, and that tabletop roleplaying fans only do what they do because they're literally unaware that freeform RP is an option, which produces the very entertaining phenomenon of freeform RP advocates blundering into tabletop RPG discussions fully expecting to be received like the protagonist of a Jack Chick tract blowing the unbelievers' minds because it turns out they've genuinely never heard of Jesus.

art is morally neutral. the art you consume does not dictate, or even indicate, your morality.

that said i look askance at fans of art whose primary message is "liking this art makes you a Good Person." in my experience, that doesn't go well.

If you aren't playing Wisher, Theurgist, Fatalist, then you have no legitimate need for the rules of Wisher, Theurgist, Fatalist (WTF 45)

But character generation is done before one begins play (WTF 62)

And the character generation procedures for an RPG are commonly understood as part of the game rules [citation needed]

These three premises add up to a contradiction, where the only two escapes are by asserting that WTF's character creation procedures are not, in fact, rules of WTF but instead something else, perhaps setting elements or norms of play culture, or by coming to the conclusion that it is not possible to legitimately create a WTF character.

jennamoran

a more pressing question is whether you were playing WTF when you wrote this post and if not what the heck you thought you were doing using its rules

tenleaguesbeneath

That's unknowable without a Wisher involved.

Also making this post was not needful. So legitimate or not, I didn't have need of the WTF rules because I didn't need to make the post.

I'm also not entirely convinced that examining the structure of something qualifies as using it.

jennamoran

I'm also not entirely convinced that examining the structure of something qualifies as using it.

More seriously, to address the original claim, legitimacy does not derive from the text of a roleplaying game but rather from the will of the people. It cannot derive from text because nobody can know what a text actually says.

binghsien

Are you intending to imply that "the will of the people" is itself legible? If so, how? To whom? Via what method?

#wtf #politics

It is a fairly normal view that God is both male and female because of the verse in Genesis translated into English as

"And God created humankind in the divine image, creating it in the image of God—creating them male and female."

I'm just mentioning this because there's an attempt to make a furor out of James Talarico saying "God is non-binary." This is a pretty normal thing to believe and it has a pretty strong textual basis in Genesis.

"God is non-binary" is not how I would choose to put this. For various pedantic reasons, I prefer "God has every human gender." But it is fairly inarguable that, textually, God is at the very least both male and female, however you choose to describe that.

I'm just posting this because I don't think that the theology is being treated with particular seriousness by the news media (big surprise). Rather, they are defaulting to patriarchal norms of "God is only and inarguable male" and describing Talarico as some sort of weird departure from that.

But this is not true. So I wanted to say something.

#gender #religion #politics

it is very funny when you have a highly technical opinion of a contentious political issue.

in hindsight my biggest design flaw with xxxxtreme street luge was not giving the option to pivot into being a politics influencer.

that's still one of the funniest fucking things ever to happen on tumblr

#is this gayle waters-waters just gets into an argument with lestat at the town zoning board?#or is this “someone offers Gayle Waters-Waters the Dark Gift and she ends up in charge of Night Island?”#either way i think she wins but these are very different scenarios #tbh in the latter case i think that they end up as companions/lovers/that emotional relationship that only vampires have #like louis she has a fundamental void inside of her that vampires find irresistable #and like gabrielle she takes no shit and is lestat's mom #so i feel like she combines the traits of his two greatest loves

friendly reminder! pick up eggs at the grocery store this afternoon.

yall i swear to god if a bitch says her pronouns are she/her then her pronouns are she/her

mephistopheles

my close friend from uni was a cis girl who had the audacity to wear pants and cut her hair short and like nobody at this school, a place OBSESSED with ‘respecting everyone’s gender identities,’ would call her ‘she.’ after MONTHS of this she started wearing a fucking pronoun pin to work and i dont even think that fixed it. me, im sorta androgynous; i have shaggy self-cut hair and go by a neutral name, but i always say my pronouns are she/her, and people ive worked with for months and have introduced myself in front of fifty times will STILL reflexively say ‘they’ for me. i respect the progressive circles i run in, but this IS evidence of misogyny. people’s definition of “woman” or “girl” is so narrow and high-maintenance that even the tiniest deviation from the norm gets you forcibly defeminized. but it’s a compliment, right? like who would wanna be a girl anyway?

mephistopheles

replacing an inescapable gender binary with an equally-inescapable gender trinary is stupid 🩷

#god #this #this is gender policing #btw don't think i don't see you also doing this to trans women #b/c i do
