if hip hop is the current most popular genre I'm gonna half attribute it to this



which is really not traditional hip hop and might as well be a form of current pop

Somebody over at Angry Metal Guy decided to go all burka brigade over a hint of a nipple on a metal album cover.

it won't take centuries

remember how chans ran successful campaigns to get people to drop their waterproof phones into the pool and that the ok symbol means white supremacy?

all it would take is a concerted twitter campaign objectifying long hair to get era to rebuke it within 6 months

So let's talk about this, do we need more romantic relationships in games with female leads? Should Aloy be allowed to explore this side of her character? Why are you against it?

Because even if they wanted to go there, the outrage would just shift to some reach about X female lead's 'problematic' relationship and how it cheapens her character. Why does she need a man? Which straight cis male wrote this? etc.

Toxic masculine players, waifu lovers, nor the wokies on Ree could handle Aloy getting dicked down midgame. They're just as bad, if not worse than the others in their immaturity.

[Don Rumata]

Whenever a straight white woman is the protagonist of a game, the devs chicken out of realistically depicting her sex life.

Because they're too afraid to show her fucking her dog.

everything is bad for every reason

• if a woman has no sexuality then she is being denied the same agency that male leads usually get, we're putting her on a pedestal and pretending she is chaste, that women are not sexual creatures
• if a woman does have a sexual relationship then it's solely for objectification and to tittilate male players

• if a villain commits atrocious acts then some people will get the wrong idea and actually idolize their behavior, plus holy shit I come to gaming to escape the real world, not see even more of the vile atrocities I see daily on twitter
• if the villain's actions aren't that bad and can kinda be justified and makes you question who was really in the wrong, that's both sides rhetoric, leading to real life questioning of whether your own side is right, in a time when we must be more committed than ever

• if game has a trans character but barely acknowledges it then the devs are queer-baiting, trying to pretend to be woke and attract an audience by doing the bare minimum, ashamed of their own character
• if a game has a trans character who announces her presence as soon as you meet her then she's misrepresenting the trans community by pretending trans people WANT to be seen as trans, instead of the women they are, it's traumatic to go around announcing your trans status everywhere and deadnaming yourself to strangers

• if a game has underage squids in it, it's probably for pedos
• if a game does not have underage squids in it, can it really be said to have gained quite the fan art following

https://www.resetera.com/threads/non-binary-non-gendered-miis%E2%80%94will-they-ever-be-a-thing.435017/

(By non-binary/non-gendered Miis I mean Miis with either expanded gender options beyond the binary male/female options that currently exist, or the removal of gender from Miis entirely, if that wasn't clear enough.)

Back in 2014 when Tomodachi Life was announced for localization outside of Japan, when it was clear that the game would not support gay relationships, I started a social media campaign about the issue, which ended up getting reported on by some gaming sites and snowballed from there (including being warped and spun greatly from my original message, which I had essentially lost all control of by that point, unfortunately). Despite my grievances about how things were being reported, in the end it worked—Nintendo took notice and responded.

Nintendo pledged that, if a new game in the Tomodachi Life series were to be made, they would strive to make an inclusive gameplay experience that would better represent all players. And they did just that! While we did see gay relationships options in a limited capacity in Fire Emblem Fates shortly after that, it wasn't until Miitopia that we we saw some real, direct results from the Tomodachi Life campaign. It wasn't a new Tomodachi Life game, but it was another Mii game clearly based on the series, but in an RPG setting. And it allowed for relationships between all Miis, regardless of gender—awesome!!

But now, with a Switch version of Miitopia having just been released, I can't help but wish more had been changed. Especially after recent games from Nintendo like Animal Crossing: New Horizons making efforts to nearly eliminate gender for the player characters—including using they/them pronouns for all players, which I was absolutely delighted to see—it was weird and kinda off-putting to see Miitopia on Switch sticking with gendered pronouns for Miis. It's particularly weird because the game does use gender-neutral language for Miis sometimes, but still uses gendered pronouns in most cases. Half of my current party of 10 (made exclusively of friends' Miis) in Miitopia on Switch are Miis of queer, non-binary friends of mine (plus myself), so the fact that their Miis have to be assigned a binary gender (and are constantly misgendered as a result) has been on my mind a lot.

Part of me really wishes I had focused more on gender rather than just gay relationships and helped steer the conversation towards both issues back when the Tomodachi Life stuff was happening, but that was also awhile before I really started exploring gender more myself and came to the realization that I was non-binary, so it wasn't really a topic that I was very familiar with at the time and instead I just focused on gay/queer relationships. I wonder if I had made a push to include gender in the discussion as well (assuming it would have gotten reported on equally, of course), if we might already have non-binary or non-gendered Miis on Switch...

Of course, I can't and won't take credit for everything that happening surrounding Tomodachi Life; it was largely thanks to the people who helped spread word of the campaign and the journalists who reported on it that really got the ball rolling and made it possible for Nintendo to actually take notice and respond. I wasn't the first to talk about or raise awareness of the issue, either; there was some discussion of it online even before I made my video and started the campaign, just...not a whole lot. That's what motivated me to make an organized effort to raise awareness of the issue in the first place. And it's that same kind of feeling that has prompted me to make this post now; I feel like there just aren't enough people talking about the issue of Mii gender—in fact probably even less than there were about gay relationships in Tomodachi Life before the campaign for that launched.

The reason I'm just posting a thread here instead of starting another campaign myself is because, honestly...I don't have it in me to repeat that again. It was a very stressful experience for me and almost certainly contributed to my anxiety issues being as bad as they are today. I really have no desire to be that much in the spotlight ever again either, especially not these days. But at the same time, I worry if there is actually anyone else out there or not who really cares enough about this particular issue to make an effort to bring more attention to it in hopes that it may actually be addressed by Nintendo... Of course, I'm not here to ask people to start some campaign for me or anything like that; I just hope that I could maybe at least help kickstart some bigger conversation about the issue, because so far I've not really seen much of any talk about it at all online.

I do think it is important to note that Mii gender is probably a much more complicated issue to tackle than the relationship issue, however. With relationships, that was a game-specific thing that was possible to be changed or replaced however the developers wanted with a new game, even on the same system. But gender is a core feature of Miis, not something added on top on a per-game basis (like, say, the new makeup and wig options in Miitopia on Switch). Adding a non-binary option would be pretty much impossible until Nintendo's next system at earliest when Miis are refreshed at the base level again. An easier, and maybe better solution overall, might be to just have future Mii games on Switch ignore the gender field if possible, and then remove it completely from Mii data with the Switch's successor. Nintendo has already removed some elements of Mii data on Switch, like birthday and creator name, so I could see them potentially removing gender in this way in the future as well.

There's also cross-compatibility with past systems to think about—for example, Miis are able to be saved to amiibo, so what would happen if you saved a non-binary/non-gendered Mii from the Switch's successor to an amiibo and scanned it on an old Switch? I guess it would just have to default to one of the binary gender options (probably male since that's value 0 for Miis, with female being 1—having any other value set for a Mii's gender causes the system to crash, I believe), but that also seems...not ideal, and I could see that potentially being a reason why Nintendo might oppose making changes to Mii gender (not that I think that's a good reason to not make changes at all).

And then there's the matter of pronouns... Currently, Mii gender isn't really used for much anymore beyond setting pronouns and other gendered language referring to the Mii (besides the occasional game that locks certain variants of Mii outfits to gender, which shouldn't be a thing in the first place anyway), but that's obviously an important thing to get right. But tying gender to pronouns isn't exactly completely ideal either, so I really think the best solution is to just remove gender entirely and use exclusively gender-neutral language to refer to Miis, like Animal Crossing: New Horizons does for its players. But that bring me to what may be the biggest hurdle for changing how Mii gender is handled...other languages.

If I'm not mistaken, it's only Nintendo of America's English localization that makes all references to the player in New Horizons gender-neutral. And even then, there is still a "gender" setting (it's just called "style" instead), and that's because it actually is a gender select in other languages. From what I understand, it's essentially required for some other heavily gendered languages that don't really have gender-neutral words (or not widely-used ones, at least) to use for players. If this is the case, and that's keeping Nintendo from going gender-neutral in other languages, then I worry that Miis would face the same issue, and Mii gender may not be changed or removed out of linguistic necessity. Of course, I'm sure there are probably still ways they could work around it, but it's just another complication to point out that might make this issue a much more difficult one to get Nintendo to address than relationships in Tomodachi Life were, unfortunately...

Anyway, I know this post is already probably way longer than most people will bother to read (I'm aggressively ADHD and it's nearly impossible for me to keep things brief, I'm sorry, lol), but I hope this may at least help kickstart some discussion on the subject, hopefully enough to maybe eventually get noticed by Nintendo. Also, I don't intend to be very active on here, so I may not respond to replies right away or at all, but I'll try to respond to some when I can.

I could also add that I hope to keep the discussion positive and constructive and advise against throwing extreme accusations and such at Nintendo or whoever—for example, I absolutely don't believe that Nintendo was ever being malicious with this or intentionally transphobic/enbyphobic (I guess that's the term to use here...?) or anything like that—but if I learned anything from the Tomodachi Life campaign, it's that the internet is going to disregard your original message and wishes and be extremely toxic and negative regardless and there's nothing you can do about that, unfortunately.


P.S. Miitopia is absolutely fantastic (Mii gender/pronoun issues aside); please do check it out and support the game if you like!!

Mii (Mii's? Meece?) don't have genders. They're perfectly happy to be addressed in accordance with their presentation, and they don't really think or worry too much about the sex they were assigned at birth. That stuff is all meaningless waffle to a Mii. They just want to have a good time with their eggy little heads.

Ree need to respect their lived experiences and allow them to stand in their power.

Is this the guy always bitching about his mom? She called him a motherfucker once for forgetting his jacket at school?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/is-it-normal-to-expect-financial-or-necessities-from-family-members-in-your-20s.435644/

Hello all,
I know I talk about this once in awhile but something came up today that made me question whether I should hard feeling towards my dad or not over this certain area. I know in general me and my dad have had a rough relationship.
Brief History: He was verbally abusive, threw a bike at me when I was young because I didn't learn it within an hour, and was always either putting me down or didn't listen to me. Well 3-4 years ago, (kinda a blur) he cheated on my mom. Practically kicked her out and moved back in with my grandparents. I went with her and here we are now 3-4 years later he lives that same house. He rents the upstairs to my aunt and still is seeing the women he had the affair on and my brother doesn't really talk to him.

Now, I don't make great money, less then $40,000 a year while doing university part-time and working part-time for additional money. I'm currently 24 and don't see my dad often due to reasons above plus gives me anxiety attacks. I have never asked him for money directly but I keep thinking is it normal to ask since I don't see him often and will he keep this over my head as guilt but I have payed for all my schooling so far and only debt I have is for my car (which I payed for myself as well). I want to eventually do teacher's college but the idea of not having enough money is killing me. My mom makes less but bless her heart she tries to help me with small things such as clothes at Christmas. I have hinted towards things in the past but he either dismisses them or goes right over his head. I needed a new winter jacket since mine was 5ish years old and fell apart. He glossed over it and sucked it up and bought my own. He says he's tight for cash but today he sent me a picture out of the blue of the brand new truck he wants to buy which costs upwards of $50-60,000. Now I'm here living in my grandparents basement, not having a personal bedroom to myself for over 3 years and he sends me this and my first thought is oh I thought you were strapped for cash but guess you can buy this and not help me towards basic necessities or financials. Then I thought, am I asking to much and is wrong of me to think this way. I know people have it worse then me out there but I can't shake this feeling of where is his priorities in life.

[Uncle]

this is not gaf / era drama but I submit this humbly to the other forums thread

https://archive.md/kSGyW

the story is very long so I will sum up:


r/abortion is a subreddit for vulnerable women to seek advice about abortions, generally a valuable support group

most of the mods were some combination of women who had been pregnant, actual/former doctors, or otherwise knowledgeable about the subject, very active on the sub and provided sound advice

however, the three top mods were all inactive on the sub, and also known to not know anything

one of them, cedarwolf, is a trans furry who moderates 116 trans and furry subreddits and also apparently works as a security guard in a juvenile detention center

cedar is only top mod because they "saved the sub from trolls" by claiming the role over 8 years ago and squatting on the title ever since

another top mod, shill_of_halliburton, moderates 154 subreddits which are either liberal politics or dedicated to piss and scat fetish (yes really)

the other mods of r/abortion said uhh we're not comfortable with our top mods, the ones with all the power, not being active nor caring about the topic of abortion?

after all, out of cedarwolf's last 1000 posts, only 5 were made on r/abortion

in response, cedar said the other mods were transphobic and removed most of them, on a power trip to maintain an iron grip on the *checks notes* support group for vulnerable women they don't even post at

and after this, these poor mods stay active on the sub because offering advice and support is more important than mod politics

 

eventually, it is assumed that other furries kindly informed cedar that that was considered "not a good look" and they peacefully handed the sub back to the actual professionals

I don't think reddit's problem is systemic, it's not like all the trans furries got together and decided to be toxic people. It's just that a lot of them are.

I think the reason why Uncle post it here is because the past drama with that ex British politician (as there is accusations of being a network of toxic leftist as the reason why she was hired in the first place ) which sounds borderline like a conspiracy theory to me (though you will surprised how many of this cunts are involved in past dramas or “problem” communities).

I doubt there is a network or anything like that but just a bunch assholes grifting like a leftist Trump attracting others grifters.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Advocating Cyberterrorism

Awesome news! Hopefully they're able to shut down more.

that's a new one

Do you know anything about hackers? Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace? Never experienced the new wave? Next wave? Dream wave? OR cyberpunk? If yes, then get banned asswipe.

this is not gaf / era drama but I submit this humbly to the other forums thread

https://archive.md/kSGyW

the story is very long so I will sum up:


r/abortion is a subreddit for vulnerable women to seek advice about abortions, generally a valuable support group

most of the mods were some combination of women who had been pregnant, actual/former doctors, or otherwise knowledgeable about the subject, very active on the sub and provided sound advice

however, the three top mods were all inactive on the sub, and also known to not know anything

one of them, cedarwolf, is a trans furry who moderates 116 trans and furry subreddits and also apparently works as a security guard in a juvenile detention center

cedar is only top mod because they "saved the sub from trolls" by claiming the role over 8 years ago and squatting on the title ever since

another top mod, shill_of_halliburton, moderates 154 subreddits which are either liberal politics or dedicated to piss and scat fetish (yes really)

the other mods of r/abortion said uhh we're not comfortable with our top mods, the ones with all the power, not being active nor caring about the topic of abortion?

after all, out of cedarwolf's last 1000 posts, only 5 were made on r/abortion

in response, cedar said the other mods were transphobic and removed most of them, on a power trip to maintain an iron grip on the *checks notes* support group for vulnerable women they don't even post at

and after this, these poor mods stay active on the sub because offering advice and support is more important than mod politics

 

eventually, it is assumed that other furries kindly informed cedar that that was considered "not a good look" and they peacefully handed the sub back to the actual professionals

I don't know much about Reddit, but why is it that whenever there is a forum drama (on Reddit or anywhere really), a furry is the one who is right there in the trenches creating problems?

[SmokyDave]

I've never used Reddit. I just can't move past the layout, it irritates the shit out of me. I'm sure I'm missing out because a community that large is bound to cover many of my interests, but looking at that site makes me want to claw my eyes out.

nah, I posted it because it literally is other forums drama and feels in a similar vein as era to weird forum takeovers and mod transfers of power, and because it's the kind of thing you would tend not to see era acknowledge 

[Switters]

Reddit has a gargantuan user base, every time you have that many people, you'll have a sizeable number of weirdos.

 

This is what I think about posting when someone whips out the Bugs Bunny with a saw gif whenever some fuck shit goes down in Florida.

Hello all,
I know I talk about this once in awhile but something came up today that made me question whether I should hard feeling towards my dad or not over this certain area. I know in general me and my dad have had a rough relationship.
Brief History: He was verbally abusive, threw a bike at me when I was young because I didn't learn it within an hour, and was always either putting me down or didn't listen to me. Well 3-4 years ago, (kinda a blur) he cheated on my mom. Practically kicked her out and moved back in with my grandparents. I went with her and here we are now 3-4 years later he lives that same house. He rents the upstairs to my aunt and still is seeing the women he had the affair on and my brother doesn't really talk to him.

Now, I don't make great money, less then $40,000 a year while doing university part-time and working part-time for additional money. I'm currently 24 and don't see my dad often due to reasons above plus gives me anxiety attacks. I have never asked him for money directly but I keep thinking is it normal to ask since I don't see him often and will he keep this over my head as guilt but I have payed for all my schooling so far and only debt I have is for my car (which I payed for myself as well). I want to eventually do teacher's college but the idea of not having enough money is killing me. My mom makes less but bless her heart she tries to help me with small things such as clothes at Christmas. I have hinted towards things in the past but he either dismisses them or goes right over his head. I needed a new winter jacket since mine was 5ish years old and fell apart. He glossed over it and sucked it up and bought my own. He says he's tight for cash but today he sent me a picture out of the blue of the brand new truck he wants to buy which costs upwards of $50-60,000. Now I'm here living in my grandparents basement, not having a personal bedroom to myself for over 3 years and he sends me this and my first thought is oh I thought you were strapped for cash but guess you can buy this and not help me towards basic necessities or financials. Then I thought, am I asking to much and is wrong of me to think this way. I know people have it worse then me out there but I can't shake this feeling of where is his priorities in life.

It's pleaseinsertdisctwo who is the mommy hater.

This guy has a similar sob story though.

And really, $40K/year part time and living rent free with the grandparents and you have to ask for money from your "terrible" father for a winter jacket?

Like... how much is he spending on a winter jacket if it falls apart in 5 years? Suck it up and go back to Eddie Bauer for another cheaply made but warm jacket man.

dunno OP, in our family it goes the other way, my older brother pays my mom’s car payment, and my younger brother pays my mom’s heating bill. I gave my mom grandchildren, so I think that’s enough lol

e: oh wait, star lord.
