if you're going to make a ttrpg that emulates genre tropes- particularly if it advertises itself as 'creating [genre] stories'- it behooves you to have at least a passing familiarity with the most important entries in the genre

as in: if you make a magical girl ttrpg and you dont have the most influential work in the genre listed in your inspirations im not going to take your work very seriously

tumblr is a website where the userbase gleefully participates in harassment campaigns against transfems doing consensual role play of taboo kinks while at the same time defending yankee soldiers who go overseas to rape and murder millions of people

hey can we be fucking honest with each other for a sec? the endless cyberstalking and sexual harassment that people on this website subject transfems to - building documents of information and networks of rumors and public harassment campaigns against trans women - is directly responsible for the kinds of suicides we're mourning today on trans day of remembrance -- this is not "discourse" this is not "infighting" this is real life or death shit

reactionary (lying, knows this is false): children are getting sex change operations in public schools liberal (righteously debunking): this isn't happening for many reasons. parental consent is required and no parent would consent + doctors require years of treatment first + it's not even legal + schools can't afford it + insurance doesn't cover it. trans kids (listening): every adult in the world collaborates to prevent me from making decisions about my body

Heard someone call ATLA “revolutionary storytelling” and it took all I had to not answer yeah it’s an indisputable cornerstone to the genre of actual play DND podcast about four sassy ambiguous queers that aren’t funny and have nothing smart to say

the avatar movies are crazy bc "what if colonizers literally inhabited and puppeteered the bodies of indigenous peoples in order to exploit their homeland" sounds like the premise of some sort of anticolonial horror film, like specifically the kind of thing that would be commenting on self-indigenization among white settlers, but because it's James Cameron his whole takeaway from that premise is "it would be preddy cool"

actually sorry. the takeaway is also "the white settler possessing an indigenous body would actually be extremely good, perhaps even The Best, at being indigenous, and he would become their Leader"

Why is half of twerf culture just 4chan shit mixed with mid comics written by white women.

It's ironic that trans women get the reputation of 4channers when these people are the ones using "goon brain" and "(suffix)cel" as part of their serious ideology. They're also just as racist.

very frustrating the way that "discourse" as a term on this site serves 95% of the time as a way for privileged folks to compartmentalize away any set of grievances into an "unreal," or "unimportant," or "entirely manufactured" space, so they no longer have to think about it. the branches of systematic oppressions surely don't leave a mark in your precious fucking children's cartoon. it's not real! don't worry!

I'm not even as much of a t4t diehard as my mutuals but this shit is so fucking nauseating to watch. like, it has everything: using progressive politics as a cudgel while actually being pretty insensitive, wrongheaded misrepresentation of what radical feminists actually believe in and say, the shoot-and-cry attitude that is less conducive to growth than anything this woman is accusing most other trans women of doing. is it any wonder that this is the Progressive Liberal tmes' preferred pickme on this site?

& again all this talk about the "self-isolation" (!!!!!!) of trans women due to their radical paranoid beliefs is just a thin coat of pitying intracommunity concern over the lurid right-wing "trans cult" narrative. just awful stuff to buy into and worse when you have a platform with tme queer people

why not answer some good-faith asks from steven hassan while you're at it

anyway yeah if you reeeally wanna defend dana's not-terf-ness i think instead of harassing a worried minority who you heard think shes a terf you should go and harass, y'know, the terfs who think she's one of them.

and if you agree with the terfs that trannies are bunch of whiny entitled misogynists and actually we need to protect cis butches, i think you should say that with your whole chest instead of concern trolling.

"its only a 10 cent difference" as if a 16% lower average income isn't a massive deal. its like its fuckin 2015 again

also the casual implication that trans women don't experience corrective sexual assault shouldn't be left unexamined

Twitter is doing its monthly “it’s red flag if a trans woman has no cis women friends” as if that is any trans woman’s fault and because cis women are transphobic. It’s always started by trans women who can’t help but go on about how we need to learn from people who have been women their whole lives, and like maybe you don’t have any problems making cis friends because you let them position you as less real women than they are, but you shoupd grow a fucking spine and stand up for yourself.

There’s always an implication (sometimes said explicitly) in this discourse that if you as a trans woman are not friends with mostly cis women you are friends with mostly cis men, because the ones starting this discourse think the only way have a social life as a trans woman is to be the token token tranny, and if you think that way it is better to be the token trannys for cis women than cis men, but you don’t have to be anyone’s token tranny actually.
