Starfish Who Can’t Think Something Witty @irhottakes.bsky.social · 1h

I think a lot of dysfunction on here comes from the idea that suffering makes you right and the more you suffer, the righter you are. Thus, whenever a person who is in some way disadvantaged disagrees with you, it becomes imperative to argue they aren't the right kind of trans, black, etc.

I've seen in some left-leaning circles a weird obsession of labelling white trans people as racists or saying there's a huge epidemic of KKK racism among the trans community and can't help but think is basically this but with transphobia

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

NEW: I wrote about Dallas City Hall. Designed by I.M. Pei, it's an incredible feat of architecture that was meant to embody progressivism and a new start after the JFK assassination. At the end of the month, city leaders could vote to tear it down: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

One of Texas' architectural masterpieces could soon face demolition

The building was designed by foundational architect I.M. Pei.

Yet another example of the assassin’s creed devs being real as hell and then the corporate leadership shooting them in the foot over perceived optics to please reactionaries
