i find it's mostly fine it all still works, it's just annoying. it was wildly unnecessary to pitch it as a whole new release of the game and also completely compatible while managing neither, and charging $80 per book. and yeah the greed and underwhelming product was just tip of the iceberg.

not a big change like an edition change. but it being a patch note where every little thing got changed in some way to justify releasing a whole new 3 core books. the mass of tiny changes overwhelming the ability to parse the few major changes.
i still don't know how to grapple in the new rules.

broadly speaking, it covers attacks on legal and social status focused on transfems because of awareness of being pushed into sex work. and attacks on transition care focused on transmascs to prevent them being made "ugly" by T

I think specificity is important. The island of pedophiles said "trans people are sketchy" in order to more easily victimise us into being trafficked sex slaves on pedophile island.

to me it explains the dual-pronged approach. a focus on destroying social and legal rights for trans women and sex workers to keep us vulnerable. and undermining trans healthcare with a rhetorical focus on preventing trans men from being "damaged" by testosterone. since it lines up 1:1...

they don't want to acknowledge that we have fundamentally different politics and are not making the same demands of politicians, because it would interfere with their deeply held belief that marginally left-of-centre liberalism is the most good a person could possibly ask for.

they say purity test, we say the bare minimum. they act like we're stamping our feet and asking for the moon when we say we can't stomach voting for and giving a mandate to candidates who actively promise to do the bad things we don't want. not just in one area, in every area.

It's worse than useless, it's potentially identifying the scanner to the host, because a QR code is just a link and they can trace visitors to it.

honestly if anything this is just a base rate fallacy. they're equally violent, soldiers just interact with their potential victims less frequently.

someone is going to have to explain to me how trans inclusive gender essentialism makes any sense to any mind.
the evil is not in the biology, not in the social structure and behaviour, but belongs entirely to the linguistic articles of "man"? change that and nothing else and you lose the evil?

i would kinda kill for it to just be Legion and that whole continuity. not that it would ever happen, because it would be the funniest and best move they could have pulled.

isn't that every "great replacement" guy ever?

it's possible that the cause is inverted, that the only way that someone ends up excessively wealthy, is by believing and acting in ways that demand such immorality the only way to continue existing is to reject reality

the entire toilet door is now going to be the literal shape of the pants/dress icons used to indicate which is which, and if you don't fit through you can't go in

i'm devising a feminised lex luthor cosplay to get all the drunk supergirls to beat me up

i was struggling to find some with tagged artists because i mostly just get sent it by a partner, anyway, to add on

they're consistently mad about supergirl regardless. the same nerds got mad at the cw-arrowverse tv show for showing her beating superman in a fight, a comic accurate feat.
they just genuinely hate women being strong or badass or whatever in the most basic way imaginable.
