When I was homeless in 2019, the Salvation Army shelter refused to give me a bed (even though they were available), because I was on immunosuppressant meds and they didn’t want to be responsible or liable if I got more sick or died on premises. They’d rather I die on the street.

People will try to excuse/defend the chuds by saying they've just watched too much porn but I'm a dyke who watches porn all the time and don't have this problem. Chuds do this because forcing every woman into their ideal sex doll aesthetic is the power fantasy.

Because it needs to be said:

The Salvation Army does not exist to save you

The Salvation Army exists to convert you

And if they cannot convert you, they will not lift a finger to save you

Do not support those whose “charity“ comes with conditions

They can't enjoy media like they used to, not like in the old days when games were just games and were wonderful and wholesome and yeah, of course they were.

Shit was great then because you didn't have some Youtube screaming head telling you it's all WOKE DEI AGENDA SWEET BABY BE ANGRY BE ANGRY!!!!

First of all, a great thread.

Secondly, this is exactly why I despise the Culture War: it's *anti*-Art. There's this hyper-fixation on content over context, where you get annoying trends of chuds wanting *every* female character to be a big tiddy waifu, even when it makes absolutely no sense.

Fashy Cinemasins

That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

its wild how across time, space, and culture we keep finding trans people describing having nearly the exact same experiences trans people have today and academics will bend over backwards to explain why they cannot be trans and how its actually offensive and degrading to even suggest that

According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Because they only go on about how great the “white race” is, because individually they’re loser dipshits and have nothing personal to be proud of. They have to make their whiteness or their maleness a badge of honor because they’ve earned no honor of their own.

No one is showing you pictures of the homeless woman that was burned alive and saying we need to enact harsh legislation to ensure it doesn't happen again, but they're doing it with the Ukrainian refugee.

Her name was Debrina Kawam and she was just like you when she was housed.

What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

4 frame comic where Miller slowly blinks. Text reads. A few hours ago, speaking on cnn about Trump's plan to send the national guard into us cities, Miller said : under title 10 of the us code, the president has plenary authority, has... He then fully stopped talking and just blinked at the camera, as if he realized that he said the quiet part out loud. "Plenary authority" means "complete power over a particular area with no limitayions". It is equivalent to ruling by decree, which us how Mussolini, Stalin or Hitler governed. Having "plenary authority" over the military would mean that Trump can just use the national guard as he pleases, no matter what the courts say. It's a power grab.
