Real African dictators

During Bokassa's seven years in exile, he wrote his memoirs after complaining that his French military pension was insufficient. But the French courts ordered that all 8,000 copies of the book be confiscated and destroyed after his publisher claimed that Bokassa said that he shared women with President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, who had been a frequent guest in the Central African Republic

Men can’t give birth = transphobia?

Men and women can both give birth, and mother is inherently gendered female.

how do human men give birth?

Transmen are men.

Biologically they're still female though.

It's not possible for a man to give birth on a biological level so I guess that's what they've judged on rather than the parental role he's playing.

So, people are taking criticism of the latest TLOU 2 trailer well. /s

It's always an excuse whenever another gay or lesbian is butchered in media. Apparently the LGBT community exists to be killed in media.

Hey!

The important thing is that straight people can sit around and talk about how powerful and sad it was. Don't try and take that away from them!

Yeah, it's disgusting. Especially those who are going "the setting is bleak therefore it's fine". Like, these guys do know that LGBT relationships can be as rocky as straight ones right? You can show an unstable, unhappy LGBT relationship rather than just (allegedly) killing someone off.

Threads like that only further demonstrate that this place isn't well equipped for queer women like myself. 🙃

The Asexual thread I made in EcetEra is slightly better but man even that one has some questionable posts. There is just a lack of desire to actually listen to marginalized groups and address them, rather instead coming up with excuses on why they continue those stereotypes in the mediums they work on.

😬 You have my sympathy for how a thread like that turned out on here. This forum is full of cishet men that are progressive and open minded when it suits them.

I made a post in that thread that addresses this actually. Even if she doesn't die and it's all misdirection, it's like Naughty Dog pretending to slap us and laughing when we flinch.

Yep, regardless of the end result even teasing shit like that is disrespectful and in poor taste. Sony/Naughty Dog know what they are doing.

Why listen to us when they can pretend to know what's best for the marginalized?

They don't want to have to write a LGBT relationship though, they just want the attention for including one and then they kill one of them off right away so they don't have to deal with it.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one smelling something fishy since E3. It sucks to constantly be used to this.

Can't wait for people to heap all sorts of praise at ND for changing storytelling forever when this game inevitably wins a bunch of awards.

Something I've come to realize when it comes to stuff like that or the idea that "offensive jokes were okay back in the day" is that they should come with the addendum of "okay for the majority who have never had to question them."

I'm craughing at the dudes going "well no one complained when they killed all the black characters in TLOU so You Darn Homos have no right to complain!" like. people complained about that then too Kevin. The first game has a woman and POC problem! Some of us have been saying this all along!

What's especially annoying about that "Grimdark" excuse is the idea that the LGBT somehow is against bad things happening to LGBT couples. Which is of course not true. There is a whole boatload of issues that can be shown in LGBT relationships that don't involve one of the two in the relationship off.

And yeah, that thread certainly has some hot takes. There just seems to be this disconnect of actually listening to what marginalized people want and instead thinking their ideas are just as or more valid. Even had a "stop alienating your allies" post which is like, dude, if you're erasing me, your a lousy ally at best.

It's kind of hard to fathom. This is like the most common criticism of Naughty Dog's works, that they are basically the ultimate colonialism simulators with how many nonwhite people the main characters kill or watch die

"Oh, you just want overly perfect minorities who never, ever die."

*links to article about why writing decent non-white/cis/het dudes is Actually Bad For Minorities*

The dead LGBT lover trope is especially annoying because of this idea that apparently LGBT relationships exist in only two states: Loving perfect couple and dead tragic widow. Which is damaging to LGBT relationships as a whole since they are perfectly capable of being as messed up as heteronormative relationships.

Can... can we at least wait to see what actually happens in the game before jumping to conclusions about the story or characters?

As has been said in this thread, dangling her (potential) death in a trailer this way isn't really all that cool either, even if it turns out it's someone else that dies.

Teasing her potential death is still exploitative. It's the marketing itself playing "wait and see teehee" with a known harmful trope. Even if it turns out she doesn't die, people have already been excusing a scenario where she does.

It's amazing (read: Disgusting) how women (and more disturbingly younger and younger girls) need to have breasts the sizes of basketballs at least to avoid the "manly" and "ugly" label...

Imagine considering yourself an ally and yet feeling entitled to a red carpet.

I took a peek into that thread and on the first page is the sentence "In other words, the player role empowers a female person/LGBT person". People doing justification gymnastics in their head, huh?

In terms of the trailer, I think it is fair to criticise what they show since the marketing materials are worked on by a team of people for a decent period of time, in other words everything is carefully chosen and prepared with certain reactions in mind; none of it is by accident. It's understandable that people have seen similar themes and storylines in other media and feel uncomfortable that they are gesturing towards ideas that are harmful. Even if it is a misdirection, LGBTQ folk are going to see it and be hit with the same pain that they've had in the past.

Can... can we at least wait to see what actually happens in the game before jumping to conclusions about the story or characters?

I assume you are mocking people from that thread sharing that sentiment.

Honestly you should have at least She-Ra levels of LGBT+ representation before you go off with having LGBT villains.

I agree, aside from my qualms with representation in She-Ra.

It does have issues but it's still one of the few cartoons that blatantly show LGBT relationships in plentiful and direct manners. Hopefully we continue to improve on LGBT relationships in media.

This isn't exactly the thread for this, but I think the show is lacking clear cut queer relationships and representation by refusing to use labels.

I know Noelle Stevenson has said she wants Eternia to represent a world where LGBTQIA+ people are normalized, but it's a convenient way of not upsetting the executives meanwhile missing an opportunity to introduce kids to labels they may identify with. Hell, even Steven Universe stays away from labels.

What's sad is even adult oriented shows like Orange is the New Black avoid labels like the plague. I think it's even more important that children shows be allowed to use labels. I still find it sad that Brooklyn Nine Nine is bolder than most prestige shows in terms of not avoiding labels.

I assume you are mocking people from that thread sharing that sentiment.

Nope...

I checked the non-binary thread for you but she didn't announce there, but there also seems to be similar threadwhining occurring in the presence of a moderator:

That gaming side Angry Joe thread is tilting me. Such a smug troll that knows they’re just there to provoke. Moderation seems blind to it like most of the ‘subtle’ trolls who get to run around until it’s like a fucking lighthouse as to what they’re doing. Really need to stop checking this place first thing in the morning.

Same when you get a PM from someone trying to call you a mean asshole for not tolerating their n-millionth ignorant hot take that's been covered repeatedly throughout the thread.

Genderfluid mod here!

If you ever get a pm that makes you feel uncomfortable please feel free to report it, we take these things very seriously.

Also this kind of stuff:

I started HRT through Planned Parenthood with informed consent. They had me on hormones almost immediately.

Oh my goodness I had no idea this thread was even here! I've only recently figured out that I'm genderfluid. I'm in my 30s too so its been hmmm interesting. I love the questions so I'm going to be contemplating them for a bit and posting them here.

Very excited to be a part of this thread!

1. What are your pronouns?
They/Their/She/Her/He/Him

...

4. What's your favorite thing about being non-binary? What's your least favorite? What's something that has surprised you?
It made me comfortable to not hold myself to the standards of beauty according to others. Like I don't feel the need anymore to shave my legs or arm pits regularly.

Least favorite is that I'm mostly in the closet. Not even all of my friends know yet. Hopefully they will soon enough.

5. Has any people, media, art, music, etc. inspired your non-binary self-actualization? If so please share & feel free to elaborate!
The Greek God Dionysus! I won't get too far into the pagan side of things, but as a Greek mythological figure they been very influential.

the Kyuuji origin story

Thank you astro for this thread. It feels like I've been given the means to finally understand, be alright with and be happy for myself. Square pegs I have long blunted into circle holes through years of trying suddenly have a home, and it's perfect. Paradoxically it's also, as KojiKnight put it, nebulous at the same time. Everything has slotted into place on a deep, core level but the ripples from that cast a new light on almost everything I've come to question on the surface.

I feel like I now have a real opportunity to actually not withdraw from being honest about who I am, and finally just be who I am with no doubt to myself or no mind for shallow criticisims from others. Which is as exciting as it is daunting, and with anxiety into the mix I have to be cautious not to go too far too fast.

So I'll start with this post, and each of these answers will likely be a paragraph and may not even answer anything at all but I feel I need to use the opportunity to start building a bridge to 'there', otherwise I likely never will. As it is I'm newly 30, am AMAB, and have lived as thus until yesterday. Self doubt on whether I'm being silly, too old for this, whether there's a point to this – I'm in a loving relationship, settled, good job and looking forward to marriage and family soon – and everything similar is inherent, but... the taste of clarity and happiness I've felt so far means I really shouldn't turn back now.

I'm someone who, when you've built up enough confidence with me to crack the seal, is more comfortable being an open book. It's an extreme I feel begrudged to temper, as a result of other moments in my life, so when it comes to me and just me I'm not one to hide much. However as a result of not discovering the non-binary aspect of myself, I've only ever internalised the feelings of uncertainty and doubt I've felt in life until now.

So this really is breaking new ground for me and honestly? I'm nervous as all hell. I have a lot of connections in this community, especially in places like the Crypto and Destiny communities. Though Era is still walled up from my real life, it's still extremely hard for me to press the submit button to this post, because of those connections and because I love those relationships with people a lot.

So why am I scared? No one has given me reason to be concerned or fearful of rejection, but that's exactly what I feel. I don't want to go from the games played and great times had in the past week to being awkward or weird if people happen upon this post, or a deeper - wider - post on Etc. I may make down the road, and lose out on that complete lack of friction and ease of interaction. Certainly experiences in my past have taught me to shy away from difference, but I thought I had grown past that aside from the few times anxiety rears its ugly head back up.

Again though, let's try and break that seal, these questions will be useful as points for me to think about.

1. What are your pronouns?

As AMAB I've had he/him/his all my life, so it feels completely normal to me and I can't admit to having any distaste for it. It wouldn't offend me if someone used she/her, though it would be awkward as I feel someone would only do that to make a jab? I'm outwardly male and non-binary is typically assigned they/them/their so to land on 'she' would seem purposeful in a way that wouldn't seem genuine. Again though, I wouldn't mind it but I'd question the circumstance it would come up in.

I wouldn't mind trying they/them/theirs with new acquaintances and casually online just to see how it felt. As I explore this part of myself more this might change, but for now I wouldn't have any issue with any of them.

2. How do you like to describe your gender / identity? Are there any terms, identities, or affinities you like to evoke in describing yourself?

Non-binary is where I'm finding myself comfortable at the moment. I don't feel gender fluid despite very much feeling both genders, as I don't feel I'm moving between them at all - more that I'm a raspberry ripple ice cream of gender. Yes, that's it.

This is definitely what my gender feels like:



3. In your experience, does being non-binary feel like having no gender, many genders, fluctuating genders, or both / neither?

This really is a tricky one. As above I feel like a blend. I feel like I can look inside myself and clearly see which I would put as being feminine, and others I would put to masculine. Signficant core traits, beliefs and thoughts. But then I'm hesitant to just land on it being a blend of two binary options, because at that point I have to recognise that, to some extent, those options are either equal or null.

Can I be both 1 and 0 while still recognising them as being distinct things, is where I'm struggling at the moment.

For now though, Non-binary encompasses it all and feels incredibly right.
It's made so much fall into place suddenly it's almost staggering.

4. What's your favorite thing about being non-binary? What's your least favorite? What's something that has surprised you?

The clarity it's brought, and the acceptance and understanding it's given. I feel complete after years of wresting between different parts of me and trying to fit them into one slot. This is me.

From that though I feel averse (hesitant?) to/in referring to myself as Trans – I see NB under the umbrella when I read around – for feeling a fraud. This isn't about change for me it's about understanding and liberation. About how I can act without feeling guilt or doubt over my actions and their reflection of gender when set against me.

That said I very much do not feel like the binary gender assigned to me. As a result though, I feel no need to outwardly shift my appearance or body to accomodate for that. At least to any major degree. I may be a little more frivolous with the colours I choose to wear though, to start poking at the edges of what I like.

Least favourite and surprising will come with time I imagine, and I will update.

5. Has any people, media, art, music, etc. inspired your non-binary self-actualization? If so please share & feel free to elaborate!

Elton John. This will sound incredibly corny but whatever, I went to see him last night as part of his Farewell tour and he is just so admirable for his courage in being who he is without fail. His stories on being gay, coming out and responsibilities he's felt were inspiring and I came away emotional. I'd long battled with these feelings of shame, doubt or concern about parts of my identity and every time I come up against someone just doing it, I find myself wishing I could. So while ruminating on that my brain decided to throw the word 'non-binary' into my head from nowhere and I started to think about it. Then I found this thread, and the videos. Then articles and the wider web. Elton John's songs will, I feel, forever have an impact now. They were already something I thoroughly enjoyed musically but this just gives a brighter lining and significance to them.

Also, and I am loathe to admit this, but Kanye West. I was a Kanye stan until, well, 'MAGA Kanye' but aside from all the bullshit "Can't Tell Me Nothin'" has been the anthem of my life. I've contorted the message a bit but the idea of not having to pay others opinions mind and being selective about whose you care about has helped me through a lot of shit in life.

Thankfully Lil Nas X has come through with Old Town Road so now I just listen to that instead for a confidence and feel good boost.

Thank you so much! As you say, hearing others struggle isn't nice but reading familiarity in others experience is comforting. Definitely share your doubts there, but we have to remember this isn't about making us fit anything anymore. There is no optimal non-binary on an identity level, some might pursue androgyny but it's because of their personal journey and self, not the wider understanding of who we are as non-binary individuals.

I'm not going to be bound by others prescriptions of the things I identify with any more.

You're not being negative to have that reflection on your youth either. I feel the exact same way and have said as much when trying to understand myself, especially over these past few weeks prior to being non-binary. I wish I could be in college now just to feel a little more confident in expressing myself how I want to, and exploring my identity from that age. It's hard to know how much has been baked into me from living as binary for my life until now, and it's melancholic to be doing it now. That's not to say that young people have it easy today or it's all-acceptance, it's obviously not at all. I just think the way young people are challenging gender and identity is fascinating, inspiring, important and I wish I'd had these messages being posted around when I was feeling things back then.

I am so, so happy for that freedom you feel. I'm starting to fully inhale the fresh air and I feel the exact same way. I want to hug and cuddle parts of me that I've always cherished but never let the light shine on for long, grow or bloom.

It really is, and the weight was collosal. Incredible how it dissipates honestly, and that adds to the feelings of being a fraud I think. It's makes so much sense and is so apparent now that it almost feels 'too easy'. Though I know trials are likely to come in abundance when I find the courage to expand into wider life with this, but for now I feel conscious of the fact that I haven't earned the right to identify as non-binary. Which is obviously ridiculous because it's made everything inside of me click, and that should be my only concern when trying to understand my own identity. It has immediately made sense of a puzzle I've been trying to solve since adolescence.

Yes on the 'trans', as before the lack of feeling an impetus to "change" is what haunts. It wrestles against the understanding that I do not feel like my binary ascribed gender and an affinity I have had for the trans (and wider LGBTQ+) community, which makes complete sense now I'm coming to understand more about myself as a non-binary person. I don't feel any great impetus to fall under the term for now despite feeling that affinity though, because I'm cautious not to tread on toes. People have to put up with enough shit without my ignorant self bulldozing into things.

Thank you, it's so warm and snug.

I can't fathom what it must/would/will be like to address this all with my parents and closest friends, in all honesty. I've spent the evening coming out to my SO, showing her videos and explaining things to her. She has no real exposure to trans or gender issues so it was a valuable experience, and she's completely accepting and happy for me. So that's a massive relief, allowing me to explore this both here and at home is a wonderful thing.

I hope to have the courage to come out to my parents and my best friend eventually, but I have no idea how I'd do either at the moment and it's not a primary concern. Your point of taking care and protecting is a good one. Though I've been through a crucible earlier in life and survived I should consider the amount I expose myself at once, and should become more comfortable within these communities before running on instinct. Not that that contradicts my feelings much, though honestly they're a walking contradiction in themself. I want to share there newfound happiness and joy with the world but I have no idea to tell anyone IRL outside of my SO for the time being.

The internet craze around The Last of Us Part II made me realize Ellie is much more mainstream than I have ever thought.

I think Lara Croft is iconic, especially because of the classic movies with Jolie. But it seems her popularity took a nosedive in recent years with the games not performing so well after the initial reboot and the new movie just being... there.

In the other hand, I feel like Ellie is quickly becoming an icon (especially for gamer girls). I mean, just google her tattoo. So many people made that already, which is crazy. Her presence on social media is huge. I also love to see react videos and people are always SO PASSIONATE about her it is crazy. Yesterday she was trending on Twitter worldwide (there were more Ellie mentions than even Joel, which had his big reveal in the trailer). Also, Ashley Johnson is like super popular right now because of her work, it is awesome.

There is also the fact that TLOU is currently a much bigger IP than Tomb Raider.

Instead of printing a new sticker with a new price, they'd just use the one they had and I wouldn't pay the extra 75 cents for guacamole. It worked every time.

The REEE disconnect with the rebooted Tomb Raider trilogy will never not be funny. Their "beloved" TR of old and it's formula was dead as fuck and nobody cared about the series anymore. Reboot has been a massive success and some of the best reviewed games out of all of them so of course they want the old and tired formula back.

Plus, they scaled way back on the combat in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and increased exploration and tombs and ERA still whines. They actually want blow up doll Lara who murders exotic animals (because why not) back. I can see the threads about pointy tits and tiny shorts Lara already.

nuTomb Raider is shit for all the same reasons nuMax Payne is shit though.

Also, Ashley Johnson is like super popular right now because of her work, it is awesome.

There is also the fact that TLOU is currently a much bigger IP than Tomb Raider.

Yes but only because cishet whites can revel in the homophobic dogwhistle through her.

I often get asked how I do what I do

For clarity, I have visibility to a large chunk of real time sales data through various methods I will not and cannot name. For protection to myself and others

It's not 100% coverage so take predictions as an informed estimate. Cheers 👍”

At Safeway I used to order one of their breakfast burritos before class and would wait for them to print out the sticker before saying, "I'm sorry, could you please add guac?" Instead of printing a new sticker with a new price, they'd just use the one they had and I wouldn't pay the extra 75 cents for guacamole. It worked every time.

I would check the times at the local multiplex and figure out which two movies I wanted to see.  I would buy a medium sprite, toss in some vodka and watch the first movie.  Then at some point I would return to the lobby and say, "can I get a refill?"

They would say, "I"m sorry, we don't offer free refills anymore."

"Oh really?  Oh well (sad face)."

"Actually sir, we will do it for you this time."

"Gosh, thanks!"


And then I would walk to the next movie and dump in some more vodka.  I did that for two years and never saw the same cashiers.

Also I would pay $5 for peoples receipts of chem, bio, or physics text books and then three days into the semester pull those books off the shelves and "return" them.  I
 would make 15k per semester.  After 2 years they altered their policy and some chump-ass took the fall because he didn't see the downfall coming.

Ah.  To be a young scamp getting into monkey shines again.

There's actually multiple people in that thread talking about getting HRT. What would be the point for non-binary? To just fuck shit up "outside of the gender dynamic"?
