for any address to twitter you can replace the “x.com” with “nitter.net” and you will be able to browse as if you have an account. Lifesaver.

Everyone has their answer

AND THEIR ANSWER IS RIGHT

So EVERYONE ELSE is

Let's be honest with ourselves, us trans women grew up as teenage boys; not that we were boys but that society saw us as boys. Young men are bombarded with misogynistic propaganda every single day, and nobody is immune to that. If you think you're the exception, you're wrong

Internalized misogyny doesn't just disappear when you start taking estrogen. You have to actively, critically examine the beliefs you take for granted and unlearn the bad ideas society has taught you. But so many of you have assumed, just as TERFs do, "well, I'm a woman now, so I can't possibly be sexist," and then start talking about so-called "TMEs" the way incels talk about women (including us!)

Stop making death and rape threats against trans men (especially children, that's fucking gross)

Stop using misogynistic slurs against trans men and enbies ("transandrocunt", "zipper-tits", "theyfab" etc.). Surely you can see that's no better than when we get called "shemales" and "sissies", right?

Stop pretending that growing up as a girl first has zero lasting impact on a trans man's psyche, especially if the man in question grew up in the global south or underprivileged rural areas

Stop pretending that trans men being ignored and invisible is privilege and not erasure (we've already had this discussion years ago with bisexuals having "straight-passing privilege")

Stop all of that. You're making online trans and queer spaces worse for everyone, yourself included. Transfeminism and anti-transandrophobia aren't opposites. They go hand-in-hand! In fact, they're the exact same thing. You're never going to break the gender binary down if you keep acting like being a trans woman is more valid than other genders

Trans women, stand up for your brothers and enby siblings instead of beating them down, especially in this day and age when governments around the world want to fucking murder and detransition all of us. When they speak, say it louder!

If you're already doing that, I love you and you need to keep doing it until we make the world a better place for all trans folks <3

Tails gets trolled. Sonichu. Loss.

That one sonic recolour "nothing personnel kid"

The one peach comic that's "a map of your eyes because I get lost in them"

I don't know how the original artists feel about being immortalised this way.

But personally

would

NOT.

I would probably die if I found out that one stupid doodle I did that was shit but sincere was now meme'd to hell.

And maybe we're supposed to endure it or whatever... But maybe I don't want to.

And maybe you're supposed to go forward as if it won't happen.

Instead look into getting a VPN, using a other AT Protocol Client like deer.social or witchsky.app aswell as using this

In the end this will likely get worse so please fight back on bad internet bills and laws!

Like that feels like a SHAME vest.

Why not make something up?

Chat Control 1.0 may have passed, again. Now Meta and Google can scan our private messages until April 2028.

But, not all hope is lost. I have seen the way the deputies slowly but surely changed their positions on the matter. If Chat Control wasn't passed as a second reading, it would have been rejected.

This is why we must keep making noise. We must keep signing petitions and sending messages to our representatives. Because it works, because their position shifts with every action we take.

We can keep fighting against worse measures.

In the meantime:

You can go from messaging apps like WhatsApp to once that encrypts your private conversations like Signal or Threema.

2. You can start looking for a good VPN to protect yourself on the Internet. Proton VPN comes with the free email address.

3. You can change your mail from Google to Proton, Tutamail, Infomaniak and surely more...

I don't know how many people do this with me. I don't know where they are nor who they are but I know for a fact I'm not the only one. You're not the only one either.

Dr. Serkan Toto, CEO of Japanese game industry consultancy firm Kantan Games (totally not someone who is pro Sony and someone who benefits from this, but we'll get to that) has said that Sony will try not to reverse their decision

"I sympathize with physical media fans, but Sony will not reverse this decision," Toto (ignore his doomer attitude) told IGN.

"They of course knew what the online reaction would look like, and they now wait for this storm to pass.

"Sony has over 120 million active PlayStation users," he continued. "Around 50 million people subscribe to PlayStation Plus. As a thought experiment, let's say 500,000 cancel in protest, that would be just 1% of that business gone — of course not enough to Sony to start rethinking. Digital is just too lucrative."

Toto says Sony wants to save money on manufacturing games, distribution and not having to give retailers a cut

"I do think Sony will respond in some capacity given the backlash (and tbh they shouldn't have announced this until they were ready to disclose how discs would work on PS6)," said Daniel Ahmad, Director of Research & Insights at Niko Partners, via a post on X/Twitter. "But I'd be surprised if they do a full reversal at this point."

"Their current profit margin has been too weak for years now, so they feel like they must act," Toto concluded. "From an economic perspective, digital sales just make too much sense especially for platform holders."

guess what? this "expert" is actually pro sony!

The analyst, Dr. Serkan Toto who said that people should give up and that Sony won’t give in, “ is accredited by Keio University, a digital media & Microlens R&D facility & trade partner of Sony's located 10 minutes from Sony Global HQ”

And he also benefits “monetarily by developing the microlenses that will supplant the Austrian disc factory.”

So he is a Sony guy and someone who benefits from this

so don't listen to him and keep on fighting guys!!!

There is one thing that stuck with me that's always always true.

"there is no conspiracy when there is incentive."

That is to say...

What Sony is doing is absolutely irrefutably

SHIT

So it's very simple to conclude on that.

Whether it's the fear of market control of your access, prices, availability...

Your feelings on hating sony becoming digital only is entirely founded. And what you feel matters.

And then theres Toto. Who's giving the devils advocate of "well... You know... Profits are low... 🥴 It makes sense they would..."

Spineless.

But what's the incentive?

To go against the grain and ultimately rationalise what's nothing short of corporate greed is indefinitely loyalty to Sony.

His message is one of bleak hopelessness. So definitely don't listen to him.

But what's his incentive to justify it?

Welp...

Tbh it ain't that hard. Concrete proof will be, but it's obviously a financial one

Whether or not he has ties to Sony that may reward him in the same way other slimeballs of the world operate...

Or maybe he's just a large shareholder that saw bigger number go up and started rubbing his hands.

In short, since his arguments are financial.

So will be his incentive.

How exactly I can't say for sure. But that doesn't matter, what's crystal clear is that he has his side picked, he's chosen Sony and, as a consumer it's illogical, he's simply got some sort of financial incentive to defend the decision

But absolutely don't listen to him.

Your voices deserve to be heard.

To 2025:

Hell, they even cover the devastating heaviness of MASS SHOOTINGS without censoring or watering anything down.

They've been doing this for YEARS, and it's ALWAYS handled with dignity, respect, seriousness, understanding, and love.

Or how about when someone is put into the foster care system because their home isn't safe anymore and their needs aren't being met?

Maybe some discussions about group therapy/getting help and support?

Hey look! Here's a segment about gender expression vs taught expectation, including unlearning harmful biases and what to do when you hurt someone on accident because you didn't know it was wrong!

Look! The topic of race and diversity! The importance of unity and equity!

They even also have a more allegorical take on discrimination and being looked down on for who you are, featuring Big Bird. The conflict is about how he's not being let into a club because the one bird running the club personally decided he didn't want someone like Big Bird there.

Big Bird goes out of his way to keep changing parts of himself in order to "prove" he can fit into this club if he just changed enough. The truth comes out though, and there's nothing he can do to gain the approval of that bird. He will never be good enough in his eyes, and Big Bird starts to hate himself. His real friends see this finally put their feet down, emphasizing that you should never change yourself just to fit into one singular narrow idea someone else has.

There's A LOT of different situations this can be an allegory for. Racism, sexism, homophobia, basically ANY form of exclusion is put on full blast in this 15 minute clip. Sesame Street can be both blunt and allegorical when approaching difficult topics, and it NEVER misses or looses the point.

It does an exceptional job in both styles of representation WITHOUT watering anything down. The more sanitized everything gets, the more radical Sesame Street is suddenly considered, hence why so many "particular groups" want it gone. Hmmm! I can only imagine why that could be, in this current political climate! (I'm being sarcastic)

When Sesame Street is suddenly labeled as "questionable" or "politically/agenda motivated" content...it says A LOT about where we currently are and who gets to decide what's "best" for kids or not. Don't fall for the censorship and topic-dodging excuses that are covered by the "But think of the children!!!" movement. Never fall for it, because you know which side you're on if you do.

Sesame Street proves kids can be taught and trusted with learning about these topics when it's handled with the right amount of understanding and care. It shows what all this "controversy" is all really about. What it's always been about, actually.

Hun???
