I don't even see how this tweet is debatable, it literally happened to jazz jennings and other high profile cases

what do you say in response?

"nuh uh! even with puberty blockers, boys grow a nice big thick cock with lots of skin on it to use for vaginoplasty!"

...so what's the point of the blockers if not to stop the dysphoria associated with growing a big thick cock

Some wil probably argue that you can happily transition even without bottom surgery, however sex life with a micro penis doesn't sound like much fun in general

Back to die for the LOLECONOMY y'all. We beat it.

What a pathetic fucking species we are. We barely have a grasp on long term damage of this virus. How is this not a cause of concern beyond "personal responsibility?" Many """developed""" nations will tell people to eat shit and get back to being in society, mocking those who try to be cautious.

I guess the good news in a developing country in America is large portions of people are already concerned of being in large groups because they're worried they'll be shot to death, so that will likely create some form of deterrent from social spreading issues.
By the LOLECONOMY he means the essential day-to-day services that maintain life and that without would render him without food and likely power and internet within days if everyone was sealed inside their homes indefinitely. Hopefully he won't injure himself trying to open cans or something because we shut down all the hospitals during this pandemic so as not to feel bad when shut-ins and munchies "those who try to be cautious" bitch about the LOLECONOMY they're obsessed with destroying out of some weird guilt or some shit even as they leech off of its vast abundance for a lifestyle unfathomable in all of prior human existence.

is there an off-ramp from resetera's established positions?

like let's say there are 50 reputable studies published over the next decade that shows blockers cause mental issues and medical transition increases rate of suicide, and the governments of the world take notice, including even leftist politicians who find their "out" by framing it as protecting the lives and well-being of trans people

does era ever admit they were wrong, and the rhetoric gradually fades from the site? or do they completely go down with the ship?

I guess the off-ramp is a public blowup that ends with nepenthe leaving, and b-dubs putting someone saner in charge, who immediately bans kyuji?

the only way Ree changes is if MOBA themselves step in I think. I don't think there's anything B-Dumbs could do without pissing off the mentally ill moderation and trans members, who have him by the balls.

The company's sales in the U.S. dropped after its Bud Light brand linked up at the start of April with the American social media star, who boasts nearly 11 million followers on TikTok, to promote its low-calorie beer.

But RE told me that they weren’t losing sales…

I really don't think a transperson advertising Budweiser would have even been noticed if they didn't pick the creepiest and most off-putting person they could find. Should've just got someone off Drag Race or something.

I imagine a trans TikTok influencer holds a lot more sway than a trans actor/celeb since it's a much younger audience you're influencing on TikTok who are far more likely to be susceptible to parasocial relationships. Combined with the fact that trans people are 3 times more likely to have alcohol dependency issues, on paper the idea should've sold a lot of beer.

my trans daughter saw that post from Dylan, and was so excited she was practically crying. "daddy," she said with wonderment, "she's just like me. someone like me got her face on a beer can. maybe I can do that someday!" I said "maybe so sweetie, maybe so." she said to me, "daddy, can we go to the store and buy a case of bud lite? I have to support any company willing to stand up for our rights like this!"

I smiled down at her and said, "no honey, Anheuser-Busch is one of the top donors to the republican party, the exact people who are trying to genocide you. plus no daughter of mine is drinking that piss"

:cop User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing concerns of racism across a series of posts
Quote from: Applebite
Quote from: GuessMyUserName
Did you really ask how does making a joke justify making a joke? Huh?
Joking about how people feel about the movie is not the same as making fun of an immutable characteristic. If you had read my original post you would know that. You can easily disagree with someone without stooping so low if you act like an adult.

Quote from: ClickyCal'
Criticizing a movie with black people for not having rap is pretty cut and dry.
I am going off the tweet posted here (which to begin with is probably a bad idea), but that wasn't what he said. He praised it for being a movie centered around black characters which had a soundtrack that wasn't just hip hop tracks. Which, granted, is a dumbass point that's worthy of criticism, but to label someone a racist off of that and using it as carte blanche to attack something they cannot change is not okay.

Stop rationalizing and justifying behaving like a child. It's embarrassing.

Adum is pretty hyper liberal but has the vocabulary and humor of a regular 4chan user.

He ruined his review when he started to feel he was validated with his “over animated” criticism of previous trailers (lolwut) but they just proved his point about how insecure you need to be to be offended that someone didn’t like the film (as is the first time in years they are discussing anything from him) and how there is people that defend the film without not even planning to watching it.

Yep. Same exact audience and purpose as publishing this a few days ago:
But trans people are not broken. And, in fact, trying to open people’s hearts by saying “Check out my brain!” can do more harm than good, because this line of argument delegitimizes the experiences of many trans folks. It suggests that there’s only one way to be trans — to feel trapped in the wrong body, to go through transition, and to wind up, when all is said and done, on the opposite-gender pole. It suggests that the quest trans people go on can only be considered successful if it ends with fitting into the very society that rejected us in the first place.

All the science tells us, in the end, is that a biological male — or female — is not any one thing, but a collection of possibilities.

Although, perhaps publishing that brilliant and stunning article led TERF guerrillas to seize control of the newsroom and redirect the paper's interests away from science. It'd be sad if The Washington Post survived the darkness in the existential threat of Donald Trump only to fall to fascism anyway.

I wonder how many are still subscribed to it after they all did to "stand up" to Trump.

Allowing this precedent would allow the corollary one that thinking of someone else is also cheating (and probably rape) and since accusations are evidence...

Vice Media is nearing a deal for senior lenders including Fortress Investment Group and Soros Fund Management to acquire the troubled media company out of bankruptcy at a valuation of around $400 million, according to people familiar with the matter.

Nearly every Vice stockholder—including backers such as private-equity firm TPG Group, Sixth Street Partners and media mogul James Murdoch—would be wiped out under the proposed reorganization, the people familiar with the matter said. Outstanding debts held by TPG and Sixth Street would also be impaired as part of the plan, the people said.
But but but but Klepek said...

Also lmao at working for a company owned by a Murdoch, fuck capitalism, go home.

edit: ~$400 million would be 7% of its 2017 valuation, it's less than 40% of what they were trying to sell for when they shutdown Waypoint, but they're also apparently taking out the debts too. :lol

From that FF16 prediction thread

Quote
I’m going to be honest, I have never actually seen the show so don’t know what the rape reference is about. I was just aware of the name and thought it was perfect because of the diversity issues and the thread it was originally posted in. I didn’t imagine it’d be the official OT anyway, since most people around here hate any OT that isn’t positive

Wow imagine that, people wanting to come into an OT on a video game forum and have fun discussing a Final Fantasy game. Crazy stuff. Sorry they don’t want to invent problems that aren’t there and be miserable like you.

And let’s be honest, had they made sure to include a black character or two, Era would just bitch and moan about something about those characters anyways. Hairstyle, name, how they talked, etc.

But this is what happens when developers have increasingly caved in to the demands of these psychopaths. Give them an inch, they take a mile and then some. Make the game you set out to make and completely ignore these morons.

Don't forget FF7 Remake. Between the different releases of PR material, they would literally switch from screaming about how Barret isn't black enough to screaming about how he is too stereotypically black. It's almost as if... they WANT to be angry  :ohhh

Do you think society can function without an economy?

Even in an ideal world where the government can indefinitely pay people to stay home, at the end of the day, somebody still needs to till the fields.
Quote from: Foffy
My point wasn't to pay people to stay at home or to stay isolated. My point was for most societies, we don't mind people being sacrificed to the machine for money. The gloves are back off for this problem. A lax COVID policy is also a "you're coming to work if you have COVID or you're fired" policy for a tremendously large volume of people. We're back to to what that Texas Lt. Governor said, suggesting people should be sacrificed for the economy, something just a few years ago warranted outrage.

Again, this is not what the WHO or CDC is clearly ordering. But it's implied by those that hear "this is no longer an emergency" and these were the same people that had to be pushed by policy to take this shit seriously. That period is clearly ending.
Quote
I always knew it would go this way. There was always going to be an "acceptable losses" point. Its good we got that line lower than it could have been under the R's, that's all I can say.
Quote from: Foffy
It doesn't even end there. One problem is the sacrificing people for the economy and that can be seen as a broad "acceptable losses" angle, another issue altogether will be the fight against helping people with long COVID. We already have examples of prejudice the world over for handwaving illnesses that "can't be seen" by employment or even government aid, and you don't have to be American to prepare yourself for stories of people with the needs of long term care fighting tooth and nail to get any help at all because people will still be using "it's like the flu" trope or the typical excuses of "they're really lazy" or "they're making it up" when talking about illnesses that don't lead to clearly visible, physical characteristics.

It will be a genuine nightmare if someone has long COVID and needs to be on disability. Realize most people who qualify for disability in general still get denied, and because COVID and its issues are still new and the range of potential damage is still not widely recognized, this is an all new realm of difficulty who need help and care. These are real problems when people hear "COVID is no longer a public health emergency" because it allows people to neglect the serious nature of it, even still today.

Let's assume the statement "1 in 10 who get COVID get long COVID and need long-term care" has any basis in reality for just a moment. There were between 90 and 100 million cases of COVID in the United States. Can anyone really begin to believe if even 10% of that needed long term care that they're actually getting it? So many factors at play to make that answer more likely to be "no" than "yes."

We're back to to what that Texas Lt. Governor said, suggesting people should be sacrificed for the economy, something just a few years ago warranted outrage.

Again, this is not what the WHO or CDC is clearly ordering. But it's implied by those that hear "this is no longer an emergency" and these were the same people that had to be pushed by policy to take this shit seriously. That period is clearly ending.

I always knew it would go this way. There was always going to be an "acceptable losses" point. Its good we got that line lower than it could have been under the R's, that's all I can say.
Quote from: Foffy
It doesn't even end there. One problem is the sacrificing people for the economy and that can be seen as a broad "acceptable losses" angle, another issue altogether will be the fight against helping people with long COVID. We already have examples of prejudice the world over for handwaving illnesses that "can't be seen" by employment or even government aid, and you don't have to be American to prepare yourself for stories of people with the needs of long term care fighting tooth and nail to get any help at all because people will still be using "it's like the flu" trope or the typical excuses of "they're really lazy" or "they're making it up" when talking about illnesses that don't lead to clearly visible, physical characteristics.

It will be a genuine nightmare if someone has long COVID and needs to be on disability. Realize most people who qualify for disability in general still get denied, and because COVID and its issues are still new and the range of potential damage is still not widely recognized, this is an all new realm of difficulty who need help and care. These are real problems when people hear "COVID is no longer a public health emergency" because it allows people to neglect the serious nature of it, even still today.

Let's assume the statement "1 in 10 who get COVID get long COVID and need long-term care" has any basis in reality for just a moment. There were between 90 and 100 million cases of COVID in the United States. Can anyone really begin to believe if even 10% of that needed long term care that they're actually getting it? So many factors at play to make that answer more likely to be "no" than "yes."

The end game should be to institute a legally binding lockdown until covid stops spreading worldwide, but I guess society is too worried about "but muuuh life is outdoors :(:(:(" to do that at this moment. It blows my mind how hard it would be for people to just stay home for a few years.
I think you guys are not displaying enough concern about just how much emotional labor it is for me to be right about them all the time. Like, have you even subscribed to the highest tiers of my Patreon and Substack so my mental health can survive the constant bombardment of my brain by the forces of history?

The picture doesn't even make sense. What is he trying to say?
That being blacklisted means he shot down the publishers and this is a 'badge of honor' for his kills? Or is he saying that the companies that blacklist journo's who are Nazi's are keeping score?

publishing a guide on how to pirate mainline metroid games should be punishable by death tbh


metroid series has a hard time selling as it is. compared to the other big nintendo series, they could just forget about it and keep the characters in smash.

yeah i think so, if we associate a game to white supremacist rhetoric, this is kinda the end of the road, and i say this as someone who was shocked from seeing a neo-nazi rally thumbnail
if we agree the video has established intent of harm, there is nothing more to discuss than to take action against it. we can't just assume it'll fix itself if no actions are taken

I never played hi-fi rush but damn seeing yet another Big Black male character who looks 3 times the size of the rest of the characters is crazy. This youtube video is pretty eye-opening. I loved Forspoken but I can see is reasons for not liking the main character since she looks that way to appeal to more White-centric audience.

Yeah, dudes like the guy OP encountered are the reason why I would never join a gym. You get made fun of for being fat, but then you go to a gym and get made fun of for being a fat guy in a gym or doing exercises “the improper way.” Gym Bros need to understand that they scare people away with their behavior.

I’d much rather just run outside or buy some home gym equipment.

OP, I would let this case slide, but if it happens again I would have both you and your wife make it known that you don’t need his commentary or advice. If he continues to give you shit, report it to the gym or find a new gym.

Something tells me that's not the reason

The game looks so awfully generic I'm surprised anyone is even looking forward to it.

Some fucking personality and variety would have gone along way. As is, I saw a bunch of stiff, fire marshall Bill-ass npcs in generic environments like "well-lit"caves with PS3 lighting...

To give a shit about it, it'd have to have compelling characters and a little equality and variety in that cast but nope. Came like 8 years too late to the GOT market

God the OP is pathetic. The guy is apparently making fun of you to your wife and you just sit there and dont say anything? Then he keeps "creeping" on your wife and again you just sit there and your solution is to maybe report it to the gym. Come on man

I like to imagine myself taking a chainsaw to their stereo and just utterly obliterating it right in front of them. Setting it a flames.
BASHING IT TO TINY LITTLE PIECES. And then maniacally laughing while I dance on its corps.

Bunch of inconsiderate human trash bags. Bunch of losers. This is why I hate spring.
The losers spring out from their mothers garage greeting the neighborhood with gibberish lyrics from their favorite illiterate rappers. They’ll sit out in the garage or in their car BLASTING this awful crap that just spews all over the neighborhood like bad diarrhea.
OR SOME ASS WIPE WILL THROW A PARTY RIGHT NEAR MY BEDROOM WINDOW!!!!
Gaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!

These people are everywhere! I swear these dudes are being cloned somewhere and then sent out into the world to make everyone’s lives miserable.
They are like weeds. They just keep popping up from out of the FREAKING ground!

Anyone else deal with this?
