Tyrant Bork won't let me mention Cream. Xi won't let people criticize him. People now display Winnie the Pooh as a sign of revolt. I posted a picture of cream as a sign of revolt.

It was, instead, the start of a new phase—for Hume, for the Post and, maybe, for the mainstream coverage of video games. That meeting led to Launcher, a new section from the sports department devoted to video games and esports that premiered on the Post’s website last week. At the fledgling vertical, Hume and his five-person staff, supplemented by freelancers, will attempt to apply the Post’s experience, resources, and credibility to covering the creators, the players, and the games themselves. “I think we can really be the bridge between a mainstream, traditional-news-product audience and gaming culture,” Hume says.
“It is very hard to argue, as anybody who’s aware of the landscape of entertainment, that video games are not an integral part of entertainment—maybe the most important part of entertainment,” says Brian Crecente, former editor-in-chief of Kotaku, founding editor of Polygon, and video games editor for Rolling Stone and Variety, as well as a current consultant to Launcher.
When Rolling Stone announced its video game site, Glixel, in 2016, Gus Wenner said the site would be a “staple within our set of properties” and would not be a “frivolous one-off that might not exist in two years.” A little more than a year later, its San Francisco office was closed and its staff was laid off. Crecente was hired to run the skeleton site out of New York, but after Penske Media acquired a controlling stake in Rolling Stone in late 2017, Glixel was shut down and Crecente’s coverage was shifted to another Penske property, Variety. This spring, Variety pulled the plug too, laying off Crecente, who says that during his time at Variety, the publication’s newfound appetite for video games devolved from “the full-throated coverage that you would see of movies and TV to being, again, an ancillary, when-it’s-interesting-to-your-general-readership coverage.”Crecente says he wasn’t given a reason for the change in direction, but the experience wasn’t a first for him. Before he took over a struggling, month-old Kotaku in 2004, Crecente was a newspaper police reporter who rarely got the go-ahead to write about games. After Kotaku took off, the publisher at the Rocky Mountain News, where he was still working, asked him why he wasn’t doing more video game coverage for the paper. The answer was obvious: He hadn’t been asked to. Now he was. The publisher granted Crecente space in the features section to write about games.A little more than a year later, with the paper’s finances suffering, the publisher told Crecente he was closing his section and asked him to go back to being a police reporter. “They saw that there was an interest in video games, and so they were willing to invest in it until it came to, ‘OK, we have to decide what we’re going to cut,’” Crecente says. “And I promise you first on that list was video game coverage.” Crecente left to work at Kotaku full time.
Crecente, 49, says he was “100 percent a geek” when he was growing up a gamer. His 18-year-old son was weaned on games but escaped the same stigma.

I created the video which the OP references and feel the need to set the record straight...

Nah.
I apologize if my reply was out of place. As a jew I found the post in question just as hilarious as the OP.

How are you not banned lolEdit: wow i agreed with u in another thread and feel dirty now
I move from New Mexico to North Dakota, then to Washington state as my husband was in wind turbine work.The move to Washington put me in the same town as a brother I'd never met and had only ever heard of. Random move and I found a long lost brother and my nieces (my age) are super cool too.

What is it with non-trans folk coming in to tell trans folk how and when to be angry and hurt?
Oh no no, we don't get to decide who to criticize and who's being harmful. If they're seen as an ally by cis people then we mustn't criticize or decry them, while simultaneously being told that we're the ones deifying them.

Not one bit surprising. Btw don't get disappointed with this thread's response, it also shouldn't come as a surprise.
Hopefully the mods will ban mention of Ellis from here after this

Don't get high off your own supply .Lack of malce doesn't erase damage.
I feel that the worst thing is that is obvious that there was no genuine malice.
OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATIONEnough with the hostilities. We understand this is a sensitive topic, but that doesn't excuse your behavior towards each other. If this continues we will begin actioning people.

Is it really all that surprising that trans people, who for the most part worked so hard to get the idea that they could be a man trapped in a woman's body and vice versa to make sense to people, would have issues with the elimination of gender on a binary scale in discussions and taking out the process of becoming the gender they feel they are on the inside? Especially when they found science to help explain their situation in general. When for NB it's very much an out there thought process for lack of better wording. In a way, it muddles their messageI don't hate or have any problems with NB people, I admit I can't understand what they're on about but I'm a dude who never had to think about his gender once so I tend to understand that I don't understand and stay out of it. But, like, of course transwomen and men would trip over themselves dealing with them, they're lumped together almost arbitrarily so while on the surface level you'd think it's similar but it really isn't. Feels like a radical off shoot in ways.But hey, I'm just a dumb cishet dude so I'll just shut the fuck up now and let this forum die in peace.
I’m convinced theres a quota they have to meet so someone two weeks from now can make a meta thread about cancel culture and they can point to this thread and say “See?! Even Lindsey Ellis was cancelled!”
I have officially written my very first chapter! Current word count: 2751If you guys would like to read the synopsis of my story...QuoteValeria Hawking never intended to start a war.As a young archaeological student on the planet Newtonia, humanity's home in the centuries after climate change ravaged Earth, Valeria is content to study the ruins of a long-dead civilization and ignore the uncomfortable tensions of a society wracked by rampant income inequality and a tyrannical military dictatorship.But after she uncovers an ancient artifact that could be the key to unlocking the powerful secrets of the precursors, Valeria is recruited by a resistance movement that is searching for a powerful weapon beneath Newtonia's surface -- one that could spark a full-scale civil war against the oppressive Republic. As she struggles with her new allegiances, Valeria meets new friends, tangles with dangerous rivals, and finds herself at odds with her own father, a high-ranking official in the president's cabinet.To uncover the secrets of Newtonia's past, Valeria will have to wade into a conflict that will determine humanity's future among the stars -- and embrace her destiny as a part of something bigger than herself.

WC: 1528Not a bad start. I've never written science fiction or fantasy before. Everything I've written is straight horror, so there is no "world building" perse. Right now it feels like I'm kind of flinging everything into the pot and hope it comes together. Here's a brief segment from the opening if you're so inclined to read:QuoteHe moved across the wasteland.Everywhere the world was dead or dying. Twisted skeletons of steel stretched miserably towards the wasted sky. Mangled and burnt metal husks. Man made wonders broken, abandoned and forgotten. The wind howled like a wounded animal through the concrete frontier.There was a storm coming.The technicolor heavens soon would break open and baptize the blackened earth with toxic rain. He had maybe an hour to get back to the crawler. Fulber hoped that was long enough to find what he was looking for.The old world was dead, but its treasures remained. Junkheads sifted through the ashes of yesterday and returned to Delta One with valuable salvage for today. Copper wire and scrap iron all had value through either legitimate channels or the black market. There was a fortune waiting, but you had to be willing to look. Nobody was more willing to look than him.Five days out, he came across the battle wreckage.Fulber had never risked anything longer than a three day journey before. There was plenty of salvage closer to Delta One, so there was no need to take the crawler that far out. But he wanted to score something special that would earn a massive payday. As the Nemesis Wing came into view, Fulber knew he had found what he was looking for.

Never shared my story, as part of FanFic Nano~Hell's Kitchen~Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma {SoTaku}King Suzuki’s promise to provide relief from the famine for anyone who joins as the royal chef was an offer Takumi Aldini couldn’t refuse. When he arrives, however, he realizes it was all a lie and he would be forced into labor with no compensation. Takumi fights back with his cooking, putting his life on the line with one dish to stupefy the king.Takumi doesn’t and is thrown into the kitchen as a forced laborer. As he believes all is lost however, a familiar face, Soma Yukihira, is there and comforts him, promising him that together they can find a way to escape, somehow. Takumi wants to believe him, he really does, but…
WC: 8727This is going... well? I keep thinking I'm going to struggle to write, but I get right in there and next thing I know the chapter ends up twice as long as I was expecting. So that's good! The existential dread hasn't gone away though yet.Today though, I had my first scene stealing character, and that's always an awesome moment where some character that wasn't even in the outline demands to be part of events. She's called Fee Delaney and she's a trans woman who started a software company developing architectural software after making her first million developing plug ins for Autocad from her bedroom, and she lights up every paragraph she's involved in.It's always one of my favorite moments when I'm writing and some side character or just someone that the story dictated I needed to get from A to B demands that I'm not done with them.From spending all day under the thumb of imposter syndrome, I'm now feeling the high of a really good session and I'm confident enough to reveal a little bit about my story.It's called StrikethroughIt's about a woman called Mina Tolson, who wakes up one morning with two thoughts in her head: Don't worry, and don't let anyone know what happened.And that's about all that she does have in her head, because every memory specific to herself seems to have been wiped from her mind. She knows the date. She (unfortunately) knows who the President is. She's aware of national events. But anything specific to her? Gone. For good.She has to figure out who the hell she is without letting on that she doesn't know, then she has to figure out who she was, and why exactly this happened.And if I can come close to doing that concept justice I'll be super happy. It was actually inspired by replaying Half Life, and being thrown into Gordon Freeman's life, and looking at the baby picture in his locker, while everyone acts as if they know who he is and you don't know any of them.What it's not, is one of those 'Oh, I was a super spy and I can do martial arts!' stories. Not that those aren't cool.
I forgot this started today! Forgot to bring my laptop with me so I guess I will be falling behind from the start lol. I’m a slow writer so not expecting to hit the goal regardless but hopefully this will motivate me to write a bit each day!Very brief synopsis thing below for my project, tentatively titled A Guilty PartyQuote“I was born an idiot and by jove I’ll die one!” is the cry of the old men looking to sell you a future. Life on Earth is coming to an end due to the ravages of climate change but the intrepid businessmen at Coldwhell, Cardweel and Cardel are focused on the one thing - getting rich. Katherine is an executive co-ordinator who must navigate the bizarre rules of office politics and the sticky morals of working for a company who gleefully sell matches while the world burns below her window.Wickedly funny and quietly moving, A Guilty Party is a dark satire of unrepentant greed, office monotony and a world on the verge of implosion.

Trans folk: "Hey Lindsay has said some pretty fucked up things lately that personally hurt me."Some people in this thread: "WOW YOU'RE TRYING TO CANCEL HER NOW HUH?!?! CANCEL CULTURE AT IT AGAIN!!! THE LEFT EATING ITSELF!!!"Some of y'all ain't that fucking slick as you think you are
Honestly everybody who keeps bringing up people getting "cancelled" need to sit the fuck down. The only person who was ever successfully cancelled off the internet is Milo and even then he's still clinging on like a tumour that won't go away
Came into this thread to see people proactively complaining about Lindsey being cancelled when hardly anyone is saying that. Was not dissapointed.You can both like someone and also think that something they said was bad. That doesn't mean you despise that person or think they should be cancelled.It's like the Joker movie. I see more people on Era complaining about people being cancelled and almost no one actually calling for someone to have cancelled.
Another moth to the flame. I want her to acknowledge that when those with a platform fuck up like this and vulnerable people close to them are hurt and tell them why, they are exposed to a torrent of abuse and gaslighting with her own words used a bludgeon. It's more than just 'making a mistake' or 'apologizing and moving on'. That is assuming the platform holder doesn't pull an about face and say 'fuck it' to join the chuds' shitting on her vulnerable 'fans'. My benefit of the doubt bag is just about empty these days but I would like to assume Lindsay doesn't do that.
It’s easier to argue against strawmen than empathetically engage in discussion with the people who have harmed
