no

I've said it before and I'll say it again :
They won't stop until they finish building death camps.

The subhumans involved in this all deserve to be dead. I'm not saying that people go out there and cross names off, but the world would be a little better if all these christofascists were struck by lightning, had freak heart attacks, etc.

Thread starting off nice and juicy 

[Greatness Gone]

are they mad people are trying to stop surgeons from performing premature surgeries on minors again? why is gender affirming care even a thing. I thought psychologists and other doctors were supposed to seriously probe their patients (so that...you know...they can actually make an informed treatment plan) before they diagnosed them anyway.

This is genocide, say it

No.

It sounds like the same playbook they used for Abortion tbh, criminalize the medical procedure, create a false moral panic, couch the entire movement in Christian ideology.

Tran people when roe v wade was struck down: “please remember to be inclusive in your language when talking about how this affect people who get pregnant”

Trans people when right wing politicians use the same anti-abortion tactics against trans people: “this is genocide”

Idk but as I said before it's definitely not something specific to era. They act the same way over on something awful. the same exact completely unhinged and mentally ill posts. the same super aggro posting style and running to the mods to defend them, etc.

I’ve seen SA mentioned a couple of times recently and am only peripherally aware of the place as the origin of a lot of memes and famous shitposting. Did it get brigaded like GAF and a lot of Reddit, then? I’d never clocked it as the kind of place that would lock discussion of Hogwarts etc.

It used to be that yes, but the previous owner left some tumblr types in charge of modding the whole forum while he fucked off and lived off the forum's funds for many years. As you can probably imagine these mods ran anyone even remotely funny out of the forum and over the years the community became more and more insular to the point where recently a number of milquetoast democrats all left the forums due to the nonstop brigading and shit stirring from the leftist/trans subforums.

One of those situations where a place becomes known for being a "leftist" "trans friendly" community and all the most unhinged losers flock to the forum and basically take over. The new owner has  no spine and bends over backwards to facilitate these people.

And just like GAF/Era, it's never enough and they constantly attack the mods and create drama until they get their way.

all of that is still preferable over what ree currently is.

From the Mother Jones article about the e-mail leak:

“Both groups are also staunchly anti-abortion; ADF, which drafted the Mississippi abortion ban at the heart of the case that overturned Roe v. Wade, is currently representing ACPeds in a closely-watched lawsuit to ban an abortion pill, mifepristone, nationally.”

This is the same tech used on a new wedge issue to fire up their base and attract moderate voters. I’m guessing these people could actually care less about transness as a group identity.

Man went through 3 different wives by the time he hit 45. From all the things we've heard over the years I've no doubt he was awful to those women. I take no joy in him being gone though. Whole situation was just dark.

It will keep working because leftists are actively helping them.

Another victim claimed 

The reality is that this kind of moral panic legislation won’t stop with gender affirmation for minors. They can’t make being trans illegal, any more than they can make contraception illegal, but they will do everything they can to make being transgender difficult. It is discriminatory and immoral, but it’s not genocide.

Is the intention behind laws like this genocide of women? https://wpde.com/news/local/abortion-south-carolina-death-penalty-hb3549-unborn-child-homicide-assault-prenatal-equal-protection-act-roe-v-wade-fetal-heartbeat-bill-pro-life-choice-planned-parenthood-legislature-lawmakers-2-22-23

but on the other hand, being around rich people constantly would cause to have psychotic break and I would throttle or chase w/fire axe another rich person in town

I have the same feelings about cryptocurrency and silicon valley, if I had to be around that, I would either jump off a bridge or have psychotic break and crush the adam's apple of the first techbro talking about crypto currency

Cool. You're a children's book author though Joanne, so keep those doubts and concerns to yourself and leave the adult stuff to the people who know have more than a gut feeling based on some anecdote of how you felt as a teen.

Everyone in the Mr. Beast thread jerking off "Tony's Chocolate" (which I admit I've never heard of) as the superior alternative. Okay. So I google "is tony's chocolate ethical"

And the results, from the Tony's Chocolate official website:

We have never found an instance of modern slavery in our supply chain, however, we do not guarantee our chocolate is 100% slave free. While we are doing everything we can to prevent slavery and child labour, we are also realistic. Firstly, we cannot be there to monitor the cocoa plantations 24/7, and we don’t believe in that kind of monitoring. And our ambition extends beyond our own bar: we want to change the whole industry which involves being where the problems are so that we can solve them. Only then can we say we have achieved our mission to make all chocolate 100% slave free.

So.. is there illegal labour in our supply chain?

The short answer is yes, but we have never said differently, and we are glad we know about it because then we can eradicate it. We actively look for instances so we can solve them. We have a Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation System (CLMRS) in place across all 7 cocoa cooperatives that we source from in Ghana and Ivory Coast. Last year we found 387 cases of illegal child labour and remediated 221.

Honestly it’s a good thing my chocolate is made by so many slaves cause that means I can work to eradicate those slaves, after they make my chocolate of course.

Tony's chocolate is pretty good but also ridiculously expensive. It costs enough more than a Hershey's that it better be considerably less slavey than a Hershey Bar.

Let the gravedancing commence in 3,2,1...

[benjipwns]

That said, being that both are emergent constructs and there is no platonic form to be found of "man" and "woman", our preception of biological sex and gender ARE fluid. Sport doesn't need to be constructed around sexual division, it could be constructed around physical size or age or practical ability or some other category that I'm not clever enough to imagine. The rules governing sport are not immutable. It should be more fluid than just saying "men can only compete against men and women can only compete against women".

The federal government mandates sex equality in sports.

The other instances where women competition was created (Olympics for example) was so that women could actually compete. The other ways you want to divide it (which is often already done, age is pretty common) will never result in women being able to compete.

None of the major sports leagues in the United States ban women, they simply cannot compete. I'm a pro-woman radical on basketball and even I have to concede that maybe, maybe, five women who have ever played in the WNBA could play in the NBA and no more than maybe two at any one time. A league with a height limit (lol) would still have barely any women in it.

It's a false debate anyway, if you want to abolish all the sex-based laws so a handful of people can demand access to some women's sports leagues, then good fucking luck with that, welcome to the War on Women, Mitt Romney's welcome letter will be in the mail. (The Equality Act the Democrats failed to pass would have redefined sex to "gender identity" so you could opt into women's rights if you wanted. Or perhaps lose them if your identity didn't present correctly.)

Meanwhile, in constructive, the calls for blood re:the Arnie thread have started:

Seriously, it was an embarrassment of a thread.

The absolute audacity to witness what's happening every single day in the USA to trans and GNC people and demand civility because a rich white man made some vague words of kindness while his political party signs the death warrants of the Queer community's most vulnerable.

It's especially the quotes of "some of you people are miserable", or variations of it.  It feels teetering on being a dogwhistle.  I wonder why people that are on the verge of being erased aren't happy.

I wanna say it's just an Era issue, but unfortunately it is also very much a reflection of how many cis people view trans issues in general. Support is superficial, and surface level. A feel good term to make your transactional morality balance itself out, and nothing more.

However, even just in the first page of that thread we see multiple trans people talked down to or dismissed by other members of the community. It truly speaks volumes to how little our community gives a shit about trans people when things like that continuously happen. Reading the thread after the fact is downright infuriating because of this. I'm not going to name specific posts or examples out of respect for the staff at Era, but I'm sure they can probably see it plain as day in the thread. Also, it's not like Arnold Schwarzenegger of ALL FUCKING PEOPLE has exactly a great track record when it comes to the topic of transgender people and trans rights. The complaints of trans people towards him that thread were valid.

Seriously, there are some real awful opinions in that thread. I'd urge staff to have their trans members go through it with a fine tooth comb.

Absolutely insane. The narcissism is off the charts, which, considering Nepenthe is one of the staff members they're addressing is pretty amazing.

Also have to repeat how useful and good getting off Twitter was my health, can't image how others cope with flood of hate and transphobia.

what does this have to do with twitter? my dash is nothing but onlyfans "performers" and memes and PC gaming stuff. why would you be trans and follow hate/transphobic content on social media?

That's 100% of the content on Trans Twitter, they spend literally all day looking for shit to get angry about. Okay, maybe 95%, the rest is horrific sexual content that pushes against the boundaries of my libertarian morals.

[benjipwns]

Maybe an irrational thought, but I hate how they refer to mods as "staff" on Ree. It's a term that feels so pompous and self-important when contrasted with the fact that mods on there are fucking distinguished mentally-challenged and don't do shit.

Why do you think I always make sure to call them that?

Out of curiosity, who are you talking about here? among the top staff on Murder on Eridanos:

Co-director Megan Starks now works at Activision. (The other Co-director, Tim Cain, remains at Obsidian)
Lead narrative designer Nitai Poddar now works at Sucker Punch.
Narrative designer Kelsey Beachum seems to be a freelancer.

I didn't hear about these departures. Fuck. I'm way less excited about The Outer Worlds 2 now and Obsidian in general. Damn it, I thought they were finally giving women at the studio respect.

What part of the original post suggested that they don't respect women? People are allowed to leave teams for all sorts of reasons (who wouldn't say no to lead narrative on ME?!) Bit weird to jump to your conclusion.

Do they have a history of this sort of thing I'm missing?

The video game industry doesn't respect women across the board, that's really not controversial to say. I was under the false(?) impression that Obsidian was starting to foster and promote women within the studio.

Someone brings receipts:

Yes, you are correct that the industry doesn't, at large, grant women respect. I think you are under the false impression that they are not fostering or promoting women within the studio, though, just because two people left after finishing a project to move on to other things?

For example, just looking at their studio page on LinkedIn there's someone, Cathy Nichols, who started as an Intern that has now been the Animation Director on Pentiment, is a Senior Character Animator on other projects, and recently became Animation Director for Avowed.

Likewise, Carrie Patel started as a writer and co-lead Pillars, then moved to Senior Narrative Designer on TOW, moved into a Director role on Peril on Gorgon and is now the Game Director of Avowed

Hannah Kennedy started as a concept artist and grew as a lead in being the Art Director for Pentiment and did wonderfully

An environment artist, Demi Warren, has been there since 2014 got promoted to Senior a few months ago (this seems well overdue based on tenure but not much detail):

I'm sure they can always do more as a studio to provide equity and opportunity to more marginalized people in games, but from what I can see as an outsider Obsidian seems to be alright.

Crickets afterwards of course.

You either want to elect Democrats, or you want to elect folks who would theoretically use whatever means they have to dispose of socially conservative organizations. Can't have both.

What stage of the trans genocide is this?

Slavery is the end-goal.

And I’m not kidding.

Slavery is the end-goal.

And I’m not kidding.

Literally five months ago:

Tennessee has officially banned all forms of slavery. Voters on Tuesday approved a ballot measure that removes language allowing slavery and involuntary servitude as forms of punishment for those convicted of crimes.

The measure passed with 79.54% of the votes, according to the Secretary of State's office.

The measure amended Article I, Section 33 of the Tennessee Constitution, which states that "slavery and involuntary servitude are forever prohibited in this state – except as punishment for a person who has been duly convicted of crime." The new amendment removes the language allowing for these punishments.

The section will now read: "Slavery and involuntary servitude are forever prohibited. Nothing in this section shall prohibit an inmate from working when the inmate has been duly convicted of a crime."

Should I go see if they had a thread on this and if Royalan posted in it?
