Dark Souls 2 is fucking amazing

the cambrian period was like 10 years ago

the cambrarin period was like 3 years ago

millions of american soldiers die every year trying to rocket jump. thankfully their lives are worthless

"drug seeking" as a patient label one of the most dogshit stupid concepts of all time. fuuuck everybody look out this guy came in here expecting medical treatment. better watch out in case he goes to a restaurant and starts food seeking

There are alot of great lines in deltarune but none beat out when ralsei gives susie advice on complimenting people by saying “just tell them something you wish people would say to you” and susie responds with “you are unbanned from free ham sandwich day”

my entire childhood i was threatened with juvenile detention just for being a weird kid. the kids in my class would lie about me doing bad things, or be doing bad things and then i would get in trouble and my school principal said if i didnt 'show remorse' id end up in juvy. neighbors called the cops on me and my own mother wouldnt take my side. so no, i dont think prison is a valid tool for rehabilitation or justice. jail is a threat the people in power use to control us and get rid of people they dont like. get more prison abolitionist now. get more youthlib now. get more transfeminist NOW

tumblr users really have the gall to send you some google doc about a woman you don't even know and going "what?! you won't publicly shun her with me?! you don't trust me, an internet stranger meticulously documenting everything this woman who in all likelihood you'll never meet in your life does??"

of course as mentioned in previous posts and reblogs it doesn't even matter if she did do all that bc what the fuck do you want me to do about it? make sure she's socially isolated for life? but the audacity of just linking you the doc and expecting you to automatically agree because everyone loves to hunt down a trans woman is also perplexing. you're not my fucking friend! i'm not gonna put your glorified gossip above her life!

this whole thing is obviously 99.9999999999999999999% transmisogyny but that one little bit of, idk, almost over-familiarity? when some dickhead tries to recruit you into a harassment campaign drives me up the wall as well, i can't help it. in how many languages does one need to say "i don't even know you, why the fuck are you talking to me about some woman i also do not know" for these people to stop sending their shitty little links??

I'll be honest, I've never really felt the same way about The Death of the Author after learning its origins (Barthes was angry over a Balzac story about a chaser, written over a century prior, for referring to a character as a woman instead of a femboy no I'm not making this up)

i was talking about this on my server earlier but i really think "cozy" is one of the worst genre labels out there in the gaming space. like people dunk on the terms "metroidvania" and "first person shooter" a lot for being uncreative or limiting but at least those are like... falsifiable descriptors. you can look at a game and go "yeah this game's mechanics and core gameplay loop generally operate like metroid/castlevania" or "yeah this game primarily uses a first person camera paired with some sort of projectile weapon" so i don't think they're completely useless. but "cozy" is just nonsense. fully subjective. i see a lot of games popularly labeled as "cozy" that share almost zero mechanical features between them and don't even always match in tone or aesthetic. hearing a game described as "cozy" doesn't tell you anything about what to expect as a player beyond maybe giving you a sort of forewarning about the fanbase and their discomfort tolerance. "cozy" is not a quantifiable metric. like imagine if someone offered to buy you takeout and asked you what kind of food you'd like and you told them fully unironically, and with no further elaboration, "i want to get yummy food." that's what hearing "cozy games" sounds like to me

i especially chafe at the way "cozy games" just seems like a "woke" way to say "girl games" and conflate certain game mechanics or aesthetics with a non-cis/het/male identity (to equally useless effect from a buyer's pov). gender stereotyping by any other name is still gender stereotyping. i'm not cis het or male, but i've spent decades enjoying pvp shooters and feel bored to tears by cutesy cottagecore farming sims. and i find those pvp shooters very "cozy" to play, too! @_@;

This is complete and utter nonsense. The world at large encourages misogyny to women both cis and trans at every level. The idea that verbal expressions of misogyny or misogynistic jokes or even just expressing hated to (cis) women is met with boos and wide condemnation is a denial of misogyny at the most basic level, anti-feminist, and completely divorced from reality.

it comes off as complete and utter nonsense to you because you interpreted it a holistic statement about the world at large rather than a complaint how rampant misogyny is allowed to exist uncriticized within even supposedly feminist spaces so long as its being perpetuated against trans women, like say, for example, responding to a woman's joke with a long tirade about how she doesn't understand something she experiences every fucking day.

tme people go 2 seconds without condescendingly explaining misogyny to trans women challenge

"oh your annoyed jokeventpost about how even in nominally progressive spaces its still considered ~funny wacky~ to say that you hate trans women if you call them women while you do it failed to account for every single possible condition? are you saying misogyny doesn't exist?"
