[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I want to get a friend a birthday present of a donation to a trans rights group in their name. I was wondering if anyone here has any information on the best trans rights groups or charities to support. I generally have a hard time finding out which charities are the most beneficial and do the most positive work per dollar. I am going to search charity Navigator but I felt asking here might help as well.

normally i would ask the person who to donate to but i want this to be a surprise.

Out of experience I can say that this person would rather have a free copy of cyberpunk 2077 instead of a charity donation in their name

Oh they cool with Kanye again?
https://www.resetera.com/threads/drake-and-kanye-west-concert-will-be-streamed-live-on-amazon-prime-and-twitch-this-friday.524718/page-2

Little bit of discussion about this going on over in the Constructive thread, where the "why aren't we banning Kanye" talk went nowhere last time. Kanye still making them sooo tired:

With the current thread about his publicist threatening people, him platforming people like Marilyn Manson, Da Baby. And performing in a concert with people like Drake a known groomer... I figured this was good to bring up again.

We should not be having hype threads for a chud.

What does not allowing posting or threads about Kanye actually do though?  "Deplatforming" Joe Rogan or Shaprio is easy, nobody wanted tor really post about those guys anyway other than to shit on them.  But the vibe I get is that this is a road the forum sort of regrets going down, because it has turned big parts of this thread, for example, into calls to ban this person or that company.   If people are free to post about whatever Kanye does, but people are also free to counter those posts and bring up what a shit head Kanye is, is that not a better solution for a discussion forum?

Not at all.

Because it's fucking exhausting to the people who are constantly having to be like "hey, maybe don't talk about a chud" and then the other people in those threads just whole heartedly ignoring any post other than they're hype.

"Discussion" doesn't work when it can be easily ignored.

I mean, its not like threads about Kanye (especially positive ones) are popping up 3-4 times a day.  I don't understand why the existence of Kanye discussion on this forum is "exhausting".  Discussion should be able to be ignored, especially here.  Thats not a bad thing.  Not everyone has to engage with you just because you feel a certain way.  And I say this as someone who thinks Kanye completely fucking sucks as a person.

It's exhausting because it's the same people in those threads just hyping it all.

It's exhausting because we say the same things in each thread.

It's exhausting because while they don't pop up often, they often stay near the top.

I'd rather not have to go into a thread a few times a month to say "Hey, maybe we shouldn't promote a MAGA chud who promotes terrible people."

That's why we stop discussions of artists and creators.

Meanwhile, deplatforming discussion engine revving up for HP:

Honestly, if this site is going to keep banning hype threads for the Hogwarts game, then might as well extend that to the movies also (or the IP in general), especially when JK Rowling is directly involved.

I'm curious, perhaps a mod could explain?

Why do we have a total ban on discussion of the new HP game (which I agree with, btw fuck JKR) but discussion of the films which very much also fatten her purse is allowed?

Like, what's the difference?

On topic: The FB films are a boring slog you should avoid.

Honestly, I agreed with more in that Nepenthe post than I think I've agreed with everything else Nepenthe has ever said on Era. Like, advocating people stop bitching and actually do something even if it's small-scale local assistance, or challenging Era's  fervent obsession with cutting off all contact with anyone they disagree with:

And perhaps even more terrifying, while you work on that, is that you actually have to talk to those racist uncles. Instead of ignoring them, or moving away to more liberal areas and putting those rural backwater folks out of mind, you have to actually set aside your outward disgust of them and approach them as people, real people, who can be persuaded to your cause. Nazis do it all the time.

Will be curious to see if it gets much era-side traction; 22 posts in two and a half hours doesn't look like it's going to catch on.

if it goes well and you did a good thing, hooray, a great success

if it goes horribly then you learn the lessons why other people aren't doing the things you're constantly browbeating them to do from the safety of your keyboard

she can say it because she is confident she doesn't have a racist uncle who needs to be talked to

and she refuses to talk to yours, that's your problem (even though she'll say it's also her problem)

[Coffee Dog]

She's advocating for white people to dismantle their own system, which in all other contexts she would call a totally failed strategy that has continuously failed since Reconstruction. She is only preaching otherwise now because it gives her an excuse to browbeat her "allies" from her soapbox.

They posted the source from which they were inspired. It does go against what Resetera stands for and every decision that is made there, but there's no rule you can't change your mind, and they are genuinely thinking it through. It's good stuff.

They partially see Trumpers as beneath them, a different class of white with whom any association with is tantamount to treachery, a sullying of their more acceptable whiteness, an embarrassment of the family name, then Pikachu Face when Nazis swoop in to fill the emotional void they deliberately left because they were too good for the real work.

There are a lot of conservative Hispanics that come from countries with a conservative culture. This isn't surprising to me.

I criticize my own community all the time. I think I have a right to do that in a way someone else who isn't part of my community can't. Porygon was completely in their right to criticize imo.

Eh, is kind of tricky doing that here because he first and foremost a Mexican citizen having family at the USA. It doesn’t sound he has actually lived there beyond shopping and visiting family.

Those black Latinos that you guys at BCT always bitch if they don’t align to your way of thinking?

Also, lol, kind of insulting that about “white latinos are the ones fucking up”.

This is one of those things where the inclusion of intersectional identities would provide better context to this data.

Because I have a very sneaky suspicion that the vast majority of Hispanics who do skew conservative would also coincidentally be the whitest or most white aligned of the population. I do know enough about visibly black Hispanics that they're not skewing along those lines in any large number for obvious reasons.

honestly if you're an organization catering to a particular group, you probably don't want to blindly refer to them as something the majority of them hate


imagine an urgent care call center for trans people calling itself Tr*nny Hotline, or a gay group called Fegs United
