lol gl with that, the current Persona team thinks gays sexuality assault people in the street and it is funny. I doubt they even ever talked to a trans person.

That's not gay people. That's comedians in Japan playing a gay stereotype. Which Atlus ripped from. I can understand the offense, but that's one of those "oh Japan" things.

The "Oh Japan" excuse is a bit overplayed. Japanese writers aren't children, and Japan is not Saudi Arabia.

Plus that scene was totally uncalled anyway and totally tone out of place in Persona 5 (The same came that criticizes Japanese society).

That show is not evidence that Japan is LGBT positive. It's not Saudi Arabia, but that doesn't mean it's good either.

Absolutely. But dismissing it as "lol Japan" when there are some Japanese people writers clearly more social aware (Hey, go read about Yoko Taro thought on LGBT, or go read some manga) is incredibility reductive. P5 is all about how Japanese society is not perfect, and clearly shows the writers themselves are aware of some problems in it.

Good starting point.

You can start there. Then google okama. I can make suggestions after that but you seem heavily uninformed on this issue.

Um, to laugh hysterically? It's a comedian making a joke. If you can't handle it don't listen or watch it. Don't pay to walk into a comedy club. It's that simple.

If the worst thing you deal with on a day to day is a comedian making a joke you should probably reevaluate your privilege? eh? In other countries you'd be thrown off a fucking roof.

Nope. I already watched that video years ago, so cut out the patronizing shit. No one is saying that being LGBT isn't hard in Japan. I'm saying that you shouldn't cast such a blank statement on Japanese people and especially writers.




Hashino and the his team are not made of morons or little children, they are clearly aware of issues and discrimination in Japanese society since they made a game about it. And yet Persona 2 and DDS both had a better treatment of homosexuality and that was over 10 years ago.

In short, stop taking responsibility from the individuals to hide it behind "muh culture". I'm not even American, I'm from an European conservative country and yet it isn't particularly hard not being an ass.

what annoys a lot of people, and grows resentment towards the community is all this policing of thought and opinions.

I DEMAND YOU TO USE THE CORRECT PRONOUN OR I'll SHAME YOU. Like fuck off. No matter what you do to your body you still have the chromosomes you were born with. You're not changing that. So play the fucking cards correctly and stop pissing people off. Have them accept you for you and not forcefully because it does not work.

No, sorry. Homosexuality has always been around, and even present within animals. Changing your sex is a completely new phenomenon. Not to mention you're really not changing anything besides replacing a sex organ with another. You still have the makeup of the sex you were born with.

They have issues where they have world class athletes naked;  while I also don't "want to see Caitlyn Jenner nude" I don't really want to see Ezekiel Elliot nude either.  But.. it's sort of the premise of those issues. 
SI started doing this too? Thought it was just ESPN.

My favorite was when they put a 400+lb linebacker doing classical Greek poses smack dab in the middle of the issue.

They had some transgender athletes years before Caitlyn Jenner was a thing too I think. "Both ways" iirc.

Which has nothing to do with what I said.

He uses the same phrases and wording as a Chritsian person when they discuss homosexuality; calling it a "lifestyle."

And there were trans people in ancient times.  Look it up or something; or don't.
  Hahahha. See, Dave is right. Most people don't even know what trans means.

None of his jokes were that bad. Again, the over sensitivity to them is the problem. No his jokes. If you think please quote them so we can see.

Being a subscriber to ESPN Magazine (once for two whole years before they realized I hadn't paid my normal $1-5 yearly fee via some Amazon/website deal) purely to get Insider access, "The Body Issue" runs the gamut from pro athletes like NBA players to bicyclists or rock climbers (who I've decided have some of the best overall bodies) and also does retired athletes. They usually have one "curveball" person an issue which might be a former athlete who is now 75 or something. Or an amputee. Or a female to male transitioned athlete. Along with all the standard attractive swimmer or volleyball woman, etc.

I've always wondered if they actually get any press from it at this point. It's mostly interesting to see more of the unique ones like the linebacker or Serge Ibaka's fucking thigh that looked like it was nearly as big around as I am in the photo so I look through it for those more than anything*. I think both of the transgender people they've done have been bicyclists. Which feels like it should be a setup for a joke. Feel free to steal this for your standup special if you can think of a punchline.

I enjoy how between it, The Fashion Issue and The Music Issue...and recently they've even done The Comedy Issue which was just interviews with people like Leslie Jones, they spend two months a year not covering any sports in their sports magazine. Not to mention the two issues a year devoted solely to the Super Bowl and College Football Championships. :lol

*Also, all the horrible tattoos. Especially "hidden" ones on the women. (And Kevin Durant.)

Yes, Persona 2, in which one character is gay the main character is bi (And this is not counting some NPCs, like the Genie). They are not shamed for it, there is not "lele, are you going to rape us at night Jun". There is a serious story going on, and one of the most important characters is gay. What confuses you?

Well no "nude spread" ever happened; so that's both my confusion and a confusing conversation to begin with since no magazine ever planned to even do this.

But for those "The Body" issues that I was thinking of; they've one a ton of stuff.. incuding retired athletes.

Yeah, I know. Shame on me for not verifying Chapelle's info,  :lol

But yeah, he seems to have a personal thing with transsexuals. That he did a whole series of jokes,and without punchlines, more of a tirade than anything  kind of cements that. If he went on a tirade like that against gays there would be a much larger public backlash.

Bro, I've played Persona 2. Both Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment. Get out of here with this meme shit.

There is only two lines about Tatsuya being "gay" in IS and it's entirely ignored in EP. Yes, it may not be going "LOL ARE YOU GONNA RAPE US KANJI" like Yosuke in Persona 4, but better treatment of homosexuality is a huge stretch. Jun is implied IIRC and never explicitly stated unless you choose the "I have eyes only for Jun" line when Lisa asks.

So again: :girlaff Go back to REEEEEE, please.

They are just one example; I brought them up because they actually went through with castration.  If you think some of those people weren't actually trans, I don't know what to tell you.. how do you think a fucked up religion like that gets created in the first place?  Either way there have been trans people throughout history.

Is there evidence they believed they were a woman trapped in a man's body?

So ancient greek males who castrated themselves and refered to themselves as females weren't trans?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_history#Ancient_Greece

Quote
In Ancient Greece and Phrygia, and later in the Roman Republic, the Goddess Cybele was worshiped by a cult of people who castrated themselves, and thereafter took female dress and referred to themselves as female.

Not the only example either; how about back up your bullshit?

Or disapear for a few days and not respond like you usually do.

Marshall Applewhite began his foray into biblical prophecy in the early 1970s. After being fired from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas over an alleged homosexual relationship with one of his students, he met Bonnie Nettles, a 44-year-old married nurse with an interest in theosophy and biblical prophecy, in March 1972. According to Applewhite's writings, the two met in the psychiatric hospital where she worked during his stay there and quickly became close friends. Applewhite later recalled that he felt like he had known Nettles for a long time and concluded that they had met in a past life. She told him their meeting had been foretold to her by extraterrestrials, persuading him that he had a divine assignment.

yeah, but what is being trans? That was the point of one of Chappelle's jokes. If you walk up on a 6ft tall bearded person with tits and a dress what are you really going to think? You gonna tip toe around the right pronoun?

If you look like a giant fucking dude in a dress other people are going to just think you're a big dude in a dress not that you're a "woman" inside.

Okay I’m calling bullshit. And you can call me a Sonyfanboy (it’s true I don’t like the Xbox) but really a framed Last Jedi Poster?

Is that really normal to have posters for brand new movies in your house. Unless you’re gonna tell me the person in question works for ILM it just seems weird to me that an ordinary house would have a poster for a new movie.

I think it’s kinda strange in general to have movie posters in your house but yeah I just feel like this is corporate synergy and they want you to buy Xbox One Xs with Battlefront 2.

Apologies in advance if someone’s already pointed this out, it’s just an odd detail to me.

Is that really normal to have posters for brand new movies in your house. Unless you’re gonna tell me the person in question works for ILM it just seems weird to me that an ordinary house would have a poster for a new movie.

I think it’s kinda strange in general to have movie posters in your house but yeah I just feel like this is corporate synergy and they want you to buy Xbox One Xs with Battlefront 2.

Apologies in advance if someone’s already pointed this out, it’s just an odd detail to me.

And yet Persona 2 had a better treatment of homosexuality.

:girlaff

Are you serious? Persona 2 which made it a throw-away line, is "better treatment?"

t. He hasn't played Persona 2 and has read the story on the wiki.


Yes, Persona 2, in which one character is gay the main character is bi (And this is not counting some NPCs, like the Genie). They are not shamed for it, there is not "lele, are you going to rape us at night Jun". There is a serious story going on, and one of the most important characters is gay. What confuses you?

Bro, I've played Persona 2. Both Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment. Get out of here with this meme shit.

No you clearly didn't. Also telling people to get out with this meme shit when he makes this kind of post LOL.

There is only two lines about Tatsuya being "gay" in IS and it's entirely ignored in EP. Yes, it may not be going "LOL ARE YOU GONNA RAPE US KANJI" like Yosuke in Persona 4, but better treatment of homosexuality is a huge stretch. Jun is implied IIRC and never explicitly stated unless you choose the "I have eyes only for Jun" line when Lisa asks.

First, there are more instances of homosexuality than Jun or that scene particularly in IS. You should know if you played it. But again, you didn't. Second, you have stuff like the Drama CD and the devs interview (People like Kaneko even favor the pairing). Third, unlike Persona 3-4-5, Persona 2 doesn't have a S.Link, so that's the most amount of interest Tatsuya can show in any character. Fourth, I'm not sure what kind of treatment you expect for a game not focused on romance in the fucking 90.  Fifth, having a gay character in the 90 that actually has dreams, objectives and stuff going on in his life and isn't just the butt of the joke in a Japanese game is a fucking damn accomplice. Again, just look what happened in modern Persona as soon one character just touches the subject.

So again: :girlaff Go back to REEEEEE, please.
Pathetic. Do you need your safe space? And I told you to go back to Voat, if you keep going like this, didn't I? Also for someone obsessed over Resetera, I'm not sure you should tell people to go back to it.

I thought I was going to dislike Pyra but she is a pretty okey character in the game.

Mythra, in other hand...

Seriously, how can the moderators not be on to Cream by now? I used to think Cream was a Voat troll but now I’m thinking it’s gotta be someone on the inner circle that has dirt on an admin or something. There’s no way anybody can be stupid enough to not see that Cream is a fucking troll

I really wanted to write up a detailed reply, but I just do not have the time, energy, or self-restraint. These blatant whataboutisms and your 'I have trans friends', 'why u mad', and 'transphobia is pretty light' comments are extremely gross and dismissive.
Thanks to Cindi I got a bingo over here someone come check my card.

Glad that kid loves his gift and hugging it.
It is better than my nephew who knows nothing about monetary value and ungraceful for gift.
He gave away a PS4 that I gifted him for Christmas 4yrs ago for a $20 steam card just a year ago.
Effing hell.
I just gave him a Switch...I bet he will pawn that system for 3.50 in a few months.

I'm confused. I'm accused of saying transphobia is light? When did I say that? Did I not say that Dave Chappelle's words were definitely transphobic but on the scale of transphobia they were pretty small? I'm pretty sure I implied that but hey, I wrote the original post at 3 am so maybe I'm wrong.

I have a real problem with assuming me voicing my opinions on trans matters means I'm trying to cozy up to people. That doesn't make any sense. I'm not Blaire White (I hate that bitch). Like the idea that any trans person who disagrees with the "community" is trying to get in graces with people who hate us? Like I haven't seen myself or Rise act like that. We legitimately feel we are doing this in the trans communities best self interests, which they don't seem to understand. It's whatever, though.

Rise have you read my post and the replies to it? Thoughts?

That comment is wholly constructed to convince people outside of trans circles that it's not a concern when it can be along with numerous other matters at the same time. It's the same kind of argument you see disingenuous alt-righters make when they try to say shit like: "HOW CAN YOU CARE ABOUT WOMEN HERE, WOMEN IN AFRICA HAVE IT WORSE". It's an attempt to belittle people for caring, change the subject and encourage trans allies and people outside of the argument to care less about putting themselves into the argument in the first place. IE: to cut out voices that can be helpful to trans individuals from time to time. The goal is to make people care less about trans voices and trans issues.

Given Cindi's past and the forum she comes from, this rings loud and clear.
But it's expected considering you come from the alt-right's Doxxing central forum.

My god this Lorde thread on canceling a show in Israel. How can people on the left to be so fucking stupid.

Yes, let's support a group of people from an ass backwards religion with a billion plus in population that is routinely supported by Russia and slam the 1 stable country that is on our side in the middle east that settled back in THEIR fucking homeland (which gave birth to their neighbors fucking stupid religion) because they were being slaughtered, continuously.

Yeah I was going to quote that next.

Like the following sentence:

"That comment is wholly constructed to convince people outside of trans circles that it's not a concern when it can be along with numerous other matters at the same time."

:confused

I said outright that Chappell was wrong for what he did.
