“We can see that Nazism understands itself to be engaged in a culture war with Jews over gender roles and gender/sexual variance. But, just as we saw in the original National Socialist regime, Nazism also understands the fundamental terrain of this war to be on the level of biology. There is a deep anxiety expressed in Nazi and far-right thinking which is constantly concerned about the biological undermining of the white race yes, but also the white male, and his hormone balance, his testosterone level. Nazi political ontology understands the biological as one of, if not the most important terrains of political dispute. We know this in our understanding of Nazi race theory, but what has been neglected is the centrality of endocrinological purity and security to Nazi ideology. In this sense, endocrinological purity is the gender/sex corollary of the Nazi eugenic project of racial purity.”
— Joni Alizah Cohen, The Eradication of “Talmudic Abstractions”: Anti-Semitism, Transmisogyny and the National Socialist Project (via probablyasocialecologist)
It's fun when the robot character in the sci-fi show gets cut in half because nobody working on this type of media knows anything about robotics and you never know what you're going to find inside. Green printed circuit boards? Meat and viscera, but like in a weird colour? Just a shitload of goo?

so how did DnD get the race science bs in it? was that just a norm when it was made or was one of the devs racist or something?
A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B.
In the "A" column, it's important to understand that Dungeons & Dragons isn't anything close to being a generic fantasy game: it's very specifically inspired by American literary sword and sorcery fantasy in the period roughly spanning the 1930s through the 1970s, with a particular emphasis on the late 1960s and early 1970s strand of the genre. Other inspirations have crept in over time, but that core has remained largely unchanged.
Like most Western pulp fiction, sword and sorcery fantasy frequently featured scenes of lantern-jawed heroes manfully slaughtering their way through nameless hordes of jabbering, spear-chucking, dark-skinned savages. Even at this early date, however, the explicitly racist dimension of this trope wasn't necessarily playing well with contemporary audiences, so over time, depictions of these groups tended to drift away from direct stand-ins for real-world "races" and toward fictional ethnic groups, eventually culminating in the tribes of swarthy hobgoblins and degenerate lizard-men and such populating the pages of the Monster Manual. Such literature freely invoked the assertions of race science to explain why these creatures were morally okay to kill, and that carried over into Dungeons & Dragons.
In the "B" column, Gary Gygax was the kind of person you might invent as a cartoon parody of a racist game designer if he didn't already exist. Like, this is a guy who was quoting John Chivington's infamous "nits make lice" remarks in order to explain why it was okay for paladins to kill orc babies in forum threads as recently as 2005; one might think "not citing the Sand Creek Massacre as an example of morally praiseworthy conduct" would be a very low bar to clear, but he managed to tunnel right under it. Certainly, he didn't originate the race science that's present in D&D's worldbuilding, which is also amply present in its core inspirational media, but he also had no interest in pushing back against it!
(Also, I'm not gonna put any particular person in the notes on the spot, but don't act so gobsmacked – your favourite fantasy media is probably doing a lot of the same shit, and you just haven't spotted it because it's slightly more subtle about it. "Sword Hero Cleanses The Undesirables" is a meme for a reason. There's a tendency in the tabletop roleplaying fandom to treat Dungeons & Dragons as a sort of sin-eater that soaked up all the bad influences of its contemporary fantasy media and gave everything else a clean break, which is simply not the case. Like, do you really think D&D is the only tabletop roleplaying game – let alone the only piece of modern fantasy media – that's in conversation with mid 20th Century sword and sorcery literature in a troublesomely unexamined way? Really?)

imo the state monitoring your private messages is basically on the same level as opening and reading physical mail or perhaps breaking into your house to install bugs and cameras

If my page suddenly stops posting one day, know that my baby Qais has died. I will never forget the people who saw my child bleeding, suffering, and begging for help, yet chose silence and continued scrolling.
I feel completely broken and deeply ashamed begging strangers for help every day, because this suffering has turned me into a mother forced to sacrifice even her dignity just to keep her child alive.
I want nothing from this world except seeing my baby Qais walk and laugh again. Please donate so I can buy medicine and bandages instead of expired drugs and torn clothes cleaning his wound.
Please donate now Gofundme
Every day, I fear opening my messages and finding nothing, because silence now feels more terrifying than hunger or bleeding. It feels like watching baby Qais disappear. Donate and save him.
The UK now has over 2.5 million landlords. Lawyer Nick Bano has observed that this is twice the number of NHS employees, four times the number of teachers and double the number of coal miners at the industry’s peak. As he puts it in his book Against Landlords: How to Solve the Housing Crisis, landlordism is the ‘closest thing that Britain has to a national industry’.

I can't believe he's dead. It feels like just yesterday Lindsay Graham and I were just young boys playing down by the creek. "CT buddy, one day I'm gonna start a war with Iran" he would tell me, "and then by god I'm gonna immediately lose and die." Well look where we are now old friend. Look where we are now.
