Cringy to see Bautista in for someone with so many issues around sexual harassment in their campaign and so many tone deaf missteps on race.

I used to lean extremely far right in my midteens to late teens, I was really deep into the fascist shithole and was downright a Nazi (going far to believe in the idea of genocide). 4chan, reddit, and Youtube pushed me down that path, but it was the community here (back then in GAF) and dating someone outside my race (who gave me a new perspective) that got me out once I turned 20. Six years later, I'm a libertarian socialist who despises people that are like my past self.
Can't wait for the Tulsi Bernie ticket. Motto: "Blue Collar Lives Matter"
Being a libertarian socialist probably means he's more of an outward asshole to people IRL than when he was a nazi
I wouldnt be surprised if this run for president is just a way to boost her national profile in order to pick up some conservative gig elsewhere be it private or public.
Just another Russian agent trying to stir shit up and sew chaos.

It does restore my faith that the game community isn't all shit, that there's people that actually cares. As a trans woman, seeing this gives me a smile in my face.
Cool. Meanwhile my mother and I just got a notification that our EBT will be recharged today and we won't get anything afterwards due to the shutdown, so if this shit continues, we're gonna starve. Very nice, good prez.
Pizza Hut is the worst YUM! Brands restaurant and I will not tolerate your opposition to this fact.

I haven't, to be honest. Been contemplating suicide for days now, everyday makes me feel the urge to finally do it, but I feel like I'm needed to fight against this madness, so I remain alive regardless of such thoughts. I try to fight everyday; volunteer, protest, and talk to people, but when I get home, those thoughts fly in my head. I don't have really anything left to live for, especially not since December.It's funny too, my friends and even my therapist have all said not to commit suicide, but recently even they are not so sure if that's a bad choice. Even my own mother said she would understand if I go. It's pretty much just depression and hopelessness on my end completely.
I take small breaks, usually when it's time to eat or sleep, but everything else in between is all about fighting against this new dangerous administration. In that remark, I refuse to stop or disengage until we win this fight. I am not going to sit back and watch people suffer, I'm going to do everything I can to do something about it. Getting involved, protest, march, donate, and engage with different people in different communities to rise up against that madman and his underlings.Sure, it's not healthy, and sometimes I feel like it's probably best to kill myself, but I am willing to risk everything, even my health and life, to do what I can do to help. I know I am just one person, but if I can convince more to join the resistance against Trump, to volunteer and fight back, then it's all worth it.
I suppose I could take a small bit of time off when Breath of the Wild comes out. Would be rather nice. You're right, I can't burn out all my fuel early on. Just the anger and pain makes me push myself hard. It hurts seeing my ex cry at night because he fears his friends and parents will be deported, it hurts to see some of people I know commit suicide because of what Trump represents to them, it hurts to see my family run away from a country they called home since the 80s, and it hurts more to see my mother living her life in fear. She's old, weak, and disabled; I wanted her to have the remaining of her life be a peaceful one, she has earned it. Now I hear her cry over the phone, I hear her say she's scared of losing her disability and being kicked out in the streets, that she's scared of what laws these monsters will pass that could and likely will harm me, and in general she's afraid of living in fascist state again.All this just lit a fire in my heart and continues to burn it hard, I went from afraid and depressed, to angry and passionate. I just feel like I have to continue fighting, I have this massive urge to do something and I can't sit still. But you're right, I can't run on fumes nor can I allow myself to burn out quickly. I should take more moments of rest, I have four years of fighting to do.
There are many instances where knowing how to suck a cock can come in handy. I learned that during my best friend's wedding three years ago.
I disagree, men's bodies are just as beautiful as any work of art. The penis alone is the most celebrated art in the world. Its shape is tantalizing, and the aroma is encaptivating. The taste is bitter, but it turns more sweet as you swish it around in your mouth. The nectar it releases always tastes different depending on its owner; from salty, to bitter, to sweet, and even spicey. Truly a blessing and a wonder of artistic nature.... Great, now I want to give my BF a blowjob.
Firstly, I'm am clearly jot particularly hetero but I mean wow. He was just so goooood. The whole act was incredible. Am going to have a ride a dildo now and honestly when their letting you know their cumming its probably been a great might. Drink wine and suck cocks, guys.
Do you understand what it means to be trans? I do, I'm trans, and I leave out of my apartment with weapons to defend myself in a "progressive" state like Massachusetts after a gang of teenage kids sent me to the ER because I was just walking by. When I was 16, I had to quit high school because the harassment and bullying I was getting since Grade 5 was too intense for me and my grades were reaching Ds and Fs.You think the lives of trans is a joke? Do you understand what its like to be afraid almost everyday of your life because you are different? The way trans are portrayed in media is disgusting, its always the same joke about an over-masculine looking transwoman acting extremely feminine and everyone is laughing because "Hahaha, they're a freak for being different". The media always shows the idea that boys are suppose to look, act, and be interested in this and girls are suppose to look, act, and be interested in that, and if you cross that line, you're a freak and you deserve to be humiliated. That isn't funny, not to me and the other trans people who goes through the bullshit society toss at us everyday because we're different.As Snitch says, if we were all equal and I didn't have to live my life in fear almost everyday because of the current inequality and prejudice we face, then I wouldn't feel as hurt by those jokes and could just shrug it off, but we don't live in such a world yet.
This. Ever since I got sent to the ER after a group of thugs decided to try to "beat the cigarillo out of me", I'm scared to go alone out in public without protection. I always leave my home with a expandable baton, a rape whistle, and pepper spray. I have to use these tools almost every couple of days and I live in Massachusetts, a state known to be extremely progressive towards LGBT people. No matter where we live, we will always be haunted by that fear.
My worst Christmas has to be this year. My entire family had their usual get together for Christmas, except I didn't get invited this year because I'm a transwoman, best part is that my aunt is an actual medical doctor and she treats me like I'm some sort of sub-human.I spent Christmas this year alone at home with a pint of ice cream, a gas station burrito, and a bunch of holiday specials on TV while crying my eyes out. My mother later stopped by and brought something they wanted to give me. They had the nerve to give what's probably the most insulting thing anyone has ever gave me: a book on how to be a man, Testim gel, a list of surgeons that can remove my developing features, and a letter telling me I need to stop being a kid "pretending" and to grow up before I damage my body any further. I'm probably not going to celebrate Christmas for a few years, or ever, after this event.
Deep hatred is an understatement. They always have hated me because I was different, I had gender dysphoria since I was 5 and they tried to force masculinity since then. Mom and Grandma slapped me everytime I wear their clothes and jewelry, they always forced "boy" toys like dinosaurs and toy guns. I've went through dozens of therapists and psychiatrists because of depression and anxiety and I was too scared to speak up about how I truly felt. I must have taken 10 different psychiatric drugs to try and treat things I never had in my lifetime and it only made me want to kill myself. After I became an adult, I talked about my true feelings to my new therapist, he sent my records to a clinic he knows, they reviewed it and agreed about my case, and started hormone replacement therapy back in July. Nearly 6 month in and for the first time in my life I feel confident, beautiful, and happy. (Outside of what happened yesterday of course)I plan to cut them off, especially after that. They always call me, and always beg and threaten for me to stop my treatment. Lucky for me I'm planning to move in with my long distance boyfriend around the summer after he finishes school so it won't be too long before I'm out and away from them.
All I want from the Zelda series is a gender select option like Pokemon, and I'm honestly angry and depressed that the series doesn't have said option. It should have been an option since the SNES days in my opinion.The creators and current people involved with the series have said time and again that "Link" is an avatar, an iconic one for sure, but still just a blank slate for the player to project his or her own self into the world that "Link" inhabits. If this is the case, who can object to a gender option? Adding one takes nothing away and only adds to the enjoyment to the experience. I know my experience would greatly go up if I could play as a female "Link" called Maria because that's who I am. Any game that asks me to enter my name as the main character's name should have gender options, to be honest.I actually feel a bit excluded from the game because of the current way "Link" is handled. The games always tell me to enter my name, and it feels personally insulting for me to have to play as a boy/man with my name and people in game using male pronouns (I'm a transwoman). I'm not saying it's the developers being malicious, nor am I "triggered" by this, I just feel sad and it really ruins some of my experience when playing Zelda games. I always have to play as "Link" as Link, an empty shell, one that I can't connect to in the current way the games' stories and philosophies are presented.The Zelda games were never about "Link" saving day from the forces of evil, it was meant to be about you, the player, saving the day from the forces of evil. "Link" is meant to be you, it's meant to be a representative of you. That's how it was meant to be, and I can't feel that as long as the games are still forcing me to be male. I like Zelda games, but I just want to feel the full experience, and giving me the option to have a female "Link" would make me enjoy the series more.
As a victim of multiple pedophillic rapes, I find that comment he made disgusting and beyond disrespectful. It took me years, until I was 18, to be functional in society without the fear of people and the PTSD flashbacks, and even then they still pop up once in awhile and I still have trust issues. I hope GamerGate never affiliates with this monster.Survivors of rape are people who learned to over come their trauma of the moments of pain and extreme fear when they were violated in a very painful physical and emotionally scaring way. Rape is more than just forced sex, it's a degrading, painful, and emotional violation of one's body, mind, and soul. It can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, race, age, sexual orientation, and religion. What this ass says is hurtful and I wish someone would slap him across the face.
This is very much true, A lot of psychiatrist/psychologist have very little understanding on how to handle a pedophile and automatically assume the person already committed the crime of child molestation. A friend of mine was thrown in jail over seven times because of it, and he committed no real crime and only seeked help.Therapists are obligated to call the cops if they believe you have committed a serious offence like rape or murder, or if you plan on doing one. Though I can't blame them fully for doing that, barely anyone researches the cause and treatment of pedophilia because society would have their heads before any serious work could be done. No one want to hear that their taxpayer dollars are going to the research of pedophillia.
It's people like you, and society, that drove one of my oldest friends into suicide. He was a good and charitable man, would never hurt a fly. He even had a romantic relationship with a petite woman his age (23) that was very supportive of his issue and they planned to get married. He killed himself because of fear, the fear of society and the fear of harming his own future children. He went to every damn therapist in the state of Massachusetts as he could and most of them just called the police even though he was looking for help. You people disgust me. These people, these human beings, are living in fear, many would never harm a child in their life, and many of them want help, real help. I am a victim of child molestation, I still have PTSD over it, but even I can sympathize with pedophiles who do their hardest to be functional members of society while society decided to hold a knife around their neck and will cut it at the slightest mention of their issue.
Because you are looking at this as a black and white issue. Are you a terrible person for not sympathizing with them? No, I wouldn't say that, but I would say you never met a pedophile and developed a friendship with them. You don't understand what a true pedophile is and what it means to be one. They are real people, with real goals and achievements, they want a happy life, but that one thing is holding them down. The interesting fact is many assume they just want to have sex with children, but the truth is that a lot of them want a consensual relationship with children, hence why killing off the libdo of a pedophile rarely works. There are even such a thing as asexual pedophiles, people who just want a romantic relationship with a child with no desire to have sex.My friend was plagued with it since he was 15 years old, the thoughts scared him, it pushed him to depression, anxiety, and eventually suicide. He tried to live life normally, even found some happiness in a woman his age, but the thing is that he still had those thoughts and any happiness was quickly replaced with dread. He tried to seek help, but society turn him down and labeled him as a monster. Should we celebrate these people for resisting their urges? In my opinion, yes, because they're struggling to overcome not only lust and taboo, but also society's label on them as monsters that need to be executed for even having thoughts. In fact, it's that latter that causes most of them to struggle with it. If we live in a world where society was more sympathetic toward pedophiles and accept that it's a psychological condition that needs to be treated, than research would progress, new treatment methods would be discovered, and pedophiles would have a way to help themselves while child sex crime start to dwindle down. In fact, more pedophile would actively seek out help instead of living in fear where the thoughts would fester until they actually commit the crime and/or kill themselves.The topic here is that we, as a society, needs to stop demonizing and assuming that all pedophiles will always rape children. These are people with a condition that needs help, and demonizing is just going to make things worse.
I have a weird relationship with my mom. I don't love her, but I feel pity for her, and also hate her at the same time. She made a lot of mistakes in her life, each of which hurt me severely. My father was abusive drunk who hovered me above boiling water and sexually violated me, her decision was to let him continue doing stuff like that until we escaped to the U.S. when I was 6. He did this shit since I was born. (I don't know about Portuguese laws back in the 90s, but I highly doubt she couldn't call the cops after the amount of bruises me and her had from that monster.) Moving to the U.S. was also a big mistake because she had no financial support once she got into this country and as such, once we had a place to live, she left me alone 80% of the time at home to work in a factory and a restaurant. It got worse when she started dating a guy who raped me for a couple of months straight. The worst part is that she heard stuff from that guy's ex about what he's done to her son and choose to ignore her. Also, that monster was never convicted. He left without any consequences because I was too traumatized to say anything and mom decided to never called the cops on him. Instead, she thought it would be best that she took my more colorful clothes away and cut my hair to make me look more boyish. (I have no idea what made her think that would help.)After all that, she never told anyone about what happened, no even therapists, who then thought I just had ADHD because of how I was behaving (I never had ADHD), and they gave me a medication that eventually caused me to have NAFLD later on. Because of her idiocy, my liver nearly died, luckily once I was 16 I went to my own physiatrist who saw what truly was wrong with me. My liver is better thankfully.Through out my teen years, when I was exploring my gender and sexuality, she forced me to not explore them by pretty much ruining my friendships and relationships by embarrassing me and telling me that I'll suffer if I'm gay or someshit like that. I became an outcast because of her, she treated all my friends like muggers. Worse is that my gender dysphoria was starting to show a lot more around that time, so it hurt me more that she was forcing this stupid over-masculinity onto me. When she finally got into a car crash when I was 15, I finally had some damn room to breath and had a relationship with a cute guy I liked. Sad it only last 5 months before she recovered and was taking "care" of me again.Now she, along with my "family", are trying to stop me from transitioning from male to female by really abusive and disgusting means. I plan to move and completely lose connections with her, because I've had enough of how much she has ruined my life. But at the same time, I feel a bit of pity. In her head she thinks what she's doing and has done was all for the better of me, but never once did she ever say "Is this okay?" to me. She never asked me questions, never considered my opinion; it doesn't help she has bipolar disorder either. Even when that's the case, I can't over look how horrible my life was because of her, nor can I love her after all of that.
Every time you quote her posts you're raping her, too.

I have to use these tools almost every couple of days and I live in Massachusetts, a state known to be extremely progressive towards LGBT people. No matter where we live, we will always be haunted by that fear.Quote from: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/ruined-christmases.959236/post-144834541My worst Christmas has to be this year. My entire family had their usual get together for Christmas, except I didn't get invited this year because I'm a transwoman, best part is that my aunt is an actual medical doctor and she treats me like I'm some sort of sub-human.I spent Christmas this year alone at home with a pint of ice cream, a gas station burrito, and a bunch of holiday specials on TV while crying my eyes out. My mother later stopped by and brought something they wanted to give me. They had the nerve to give what's probably the most insulting thing anyone has ever gave me: a book on how to be a man, Testim gel, a list of surgeons that can remove my developing features, and a letter telling me I need to stop being a kid "pretending" and to grow up before I damage my body any further. I'm probably not going to celebrate Christmas for a few years, or ever, after this event.Quote from: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/ruined-christmases.959236/post-144903535Deep hatred is an understatement. They always have hated me because I was different, I had gender dysphoria since I was 5 and they tried to force masculinity since then. Mom and Grandma slapped me everytime I wear their clothes and jewelry, they always forced "boy" toys like dinosaurs and toy guns. I've went through dozens of therapists and psychiatrists because of depression and anxiety and I was too scared to speak up about how I truly felt. I must have taken 10 different psychiatric drugs to try and treat things I never had in my lifetime and it only made me want to kill myself. After I became an adult, I talked about my true feelings to my new therapist, he sent my records to a clinic he knows, they reviewed it and agreed about my case, and started hormone replacement therapy back in July. Nearly 6 month in and for the first time in my life I feel confident, beautiful, and happy. (Outside of what happened yesterday of course)I plan to cut them off, especially after that. They always call me, and always beg and threaten for me to stop my treatment. Lucky for me I'm planning to move in with my long distance boyfriend around the summer after he finishes school so it won't be too long before I'm out and away from them.Quote from: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/would-you-be-able-to-accept-it-if-link-was-reincarnated-as-a-gerudo-woman.938737/post-140456593All I want from the Zelda series is a gender select option like Pokemon, and I'm honestly angry and depressed that the series doesn't have said option. It should have been an option since the SNES days in my opinion.The creators and current people involved with the series have said time and again that "Link" is an avatar, an iconic one for sure, but still just a blank slate for the player to project his or her own self into the world that "Link" inhabits. If this is the case, who can object to a gender option? Adding one takes nothing away and only adds to the enjoyment to the experience. I know my experience would greatly go up if I could play as a female "Link" called Maria because that's who I am. Any game that asks me to enter my name as the main character's name should have gender options, to be honest.I actually feel a bit excluded from the game because of the current way "Link" is handled. The games always tell me to enter my name, and it feels personally insulting for me to have to play as a boy/man with my name and people in game using male pronouns (I'm a transwoman). I'm not saying it's the developers being malicious, nor am I "triggered" by this, I just feel sad and it really ruins some of my experience when playing Zelda games. I always have to play as "Link" as Link, an empty shell, one that I can't connect to in the current way the games' stories and philosophies are presented.The Zelda games were never about "Link" saving day from the forces of evil, it was meant to be about you, the player, saving the day from the forces of evil. "Link" is meant to be you, it's meant to be a representative of you. That's how it was meant to be, and I can't feel that as long as the games are still forcing me to be male. I like Zelda games, but I just want to feel the full experience, and giving me the option to have a female "Link" would make me enjoy the series more.Quote from: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/gamergate-the-threadening-read-the-op-stopgamergate2014.889097/post-131085323As a victim of multiple pedophillic rapes, I find that comment he made disgusting and beyond disrespectful. It took me years, until I was 18, to be functional in society without the fear of people and the PTSD flashbacks, and even then they still pop up once in awhile and I still have trust issues. I hope GamerGate never affiliates with this monster.Survivors of rape are people who learned to over come their trauma of the moments of pain and extreme fear when they were violated in a very painful physical and emotionally scaring way. Rape is more than just forced sex, it's a degrading, painful, and emotional violation of one's body, mind, and soul. It can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, race, age, sexual orientation, and religion. What this ass says is hurtful and I wish someone would slap him across the face.Quote from: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/the-pedophile-next-door.965535/post-146171528This is very much true, A lot of psychiatrist/psychologist have very little understanding on how to handle a pedophile and automatically assume the person already committed the crime of child molestation. A friend of mine was thrown in jail over seven times because of it, and he committed no real crime and only seeked help.Therapists are obligated to call the cops if they believe you have committed a serious offence like rape or murder, or if you plan on doing one. Though I can't blame them fully for doing that, barely anyone researches the cause and treatment of pedophilia because society would have their heads before any serious work could be done. No one want to hear that their taxpayer dollars are going to the research of pedophillia.Quote from: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/the-pedophile-next-door.965535/post-146304428It's people like you, and society, that drove one of my oldest friends into suicide. He was a good and charitable man, would never hurt a fly. He even had a romantic relationship with a petite woman his age (23) that was very supportive of his issue and they planned to get married. He killed himself because of fear, the fear of society and the fear of harming his own future children. He went to every damn therapist in the state of Massachusetts as he could and most of them just called the police even though he was looking for help. You people disgust me. These people, these human beings, are living in fear, many would never harm a child in their life, and many of them want help, real help. I am a victim of child molestation, I still have PTSD over it, but even I can sympathize with pedophiles who do their hardest to be functional members of society while society decided to hold a knife around their neck and will cut it at the slightest mention of their issue.Quote from: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/the-pedophile-next-door.965535/post-146319623Because you are looking at this as a black and white issue. Are you a terrible person for not sympathizing with them? No, I wouldn't say that, but I would say you never met a pedophile and developed a friendship with them. You don't understand what a true pedophile is and what it means to be one. They are real people, with real goals and achievements, they want a happy life, but that one thing is holding them down. The interesting fact is many assume they just want to have sex with children, but the truth is that a lot of them want a consensual relationship with children, hence why killing off the libdo of a pedophile rarely works. There are even such a thing as asexual pedophiles, people who just want a romantic relationship with a child with no desire to have sex.My friend was plagued with it since he was 15 years old, the thoughts scared him, it pushed him to depression, anxiety, and eventually suicide. He tried to live life normally, even found some happiness in a woman his age, but the thing is that he still had those thoughts and any happiness was quickly replaced with dread. He tried to seek help, but society turn him down and labeled him as a monster. Should we celebrate these people for resisting their urges? In my opinion, yes, because they're struggling to overcome not only lust and taboo, but also society's label on them as monsters that need to be executed for even having thoughts. In fact, it's that latter that causes most of them to struggle with it. If we live in a world where society was more sympathetic toward pedophiles and accept that it's a psychological condition that needs to be treated, than research would progress, new treatment methods would be discovered, and pedophiles would have a way to help themselves while child sex crime start to dwindle down. In fact, more pedophile would actively seek out help instead of living in fear where the thoughts would fester until they actually commit the crime and/or kill themselves.The topic here is that we, as a society, needs to stop demonizing and assuming that all pedophiles will always rape children. These are people with a condition that needs help, and demonizing is just going to make things worse.Quote from: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/do-you-love-your-mother.982931/post-149918576I have a weird relationship with my mom. I don't love her, but I feel pity for her, and also hate her at the same time. She made a lot of mistakes in her life, each of which hurt me severely. My father was abusive drunk who hovered me above boiling water and sexually violated me, her decision was to let him continue doing stuff like that until we escaped to the U.S. when I was 6. He did this shit since I was born. (I don't know about Portuguese laws back in the 90s, but I highly doubt she couldn't call the cops after the amount of bruises me and her had from that monster.) Moving to the U.S. was also a big mistake because she had no financial support once she got into this country and as such, once we had a place to live, she left me alone 80% of the time at home to work in a factory and a restaurant. It got worse when she started dating a guy who raped me for a couple of months straight. The worst part is that she heard stuff from that guy's ex about what he's done to her son and choose to ignore her. Also, that monster was never convicted. He left without any consequences because I was too traumatized to say anything and mom decided to never called the cops on him. Instead, she thought it would be best that she took my more colorful clothes away and cut my hair to make me look more boyish. (I have no idea what made her think that would help.)After all that, she never told anyone about what happened, no even therapists, who then thought I just had ADHD because of how I was behaving (I never had ADHD), and they gave me a medication that eventually caused me to have NAFLD later on. Because of her idiocy, my liver nearly died, luckily once I was 16 I went to my own physiatrist who saw what truly was wrong with me. My liver is better thankfully.Through out my teen years, when I was exploring my gender and sexuality, she forced me to not explore them by pretty much ruining my friendships and relationships by embarrassing me and telling me that I'll suffer if I'm gay or someshit like that. I became an outcast because of her, she treated all my friends like muggers. Worse is that my gender dysphoria was starting to show a lot more around that time, so it hurt me more that she was forcing this stupid over-masculinity onto me. When she finally got into a car crash when I was 15, I finally had some damn room to breath and had a relationship with a cute guy I liked. Sad it only last 5 months before she recovered and was taking "care" of me again.Now she, along with my "family", are trying to stop me from transitioning from male to female by really abusive and disgusting means. I plan to move and completely lose connections with her, because I've had enough of how much she has ruined my life. But at the same time, I feel a bit of pity. In her head she thinks what she's doing and has done was all for the better of me, but never once did she ever say "Is this okay?" to me. She never asked me questions, never considered my opinion; it doesn't help she has bipolar disorder either. Even when that's the case, I can't over look how horrible my life was because of her, nor can I love her after all of that.
