i genuinely have a lot more respect for the average gacha yuri drawing/writing lesbian and the average himedanshi than the average person complaining about both of these because frankly they are the people making yuri LOL

i’m gonna start one of those accounts that posts nostalgia clips of games that came out between 2003 and 2010, but i’m only gonna post really awful games and see how many 20 year olds i can fool into claiming those games are actually good

the way anti-trans activists retreat to “no no im just worried about children! no transition for children!” as if its a defense—and ofc the fact that many cis people think it is one!—boils my blood. opposing childrens access to transition is WORSE than opposing it for adults, you sadistic freaks!!

Now she wants to walk it back down to “just concern about children“ and “public spaces”. Both of which are a pathetic smokescreen, and bad enough on their own, but which if real she could do without all the snark and nastiness and calling women men and dogpiling.

While older genre names like metroidvania and roguelike aren't very good due to not being very intuitive when you lack context, I think recently coined terms like friendslop and boomer shooter are even worse. I think video game players are just bad at naming things lmao

As any good Limsa girlie Erika was devout to llymlaen. Even as her understanding of the world grew she never really dropped it and can still be heard muttering “ocean mom it looks like we’re in it now” whenever things go south. Lerna had any faith beaten out of her by the childhood experimentation

#wolqotd Is your WoL/OC spiritual in any way? What is their opinion on the gods? On Divinity? On Hydaelyn?

The thing about "playersexual" love interests in video games is their romances are almost never written as queer - they're written as straight, and the pronouns are swapped out. This introduces friction when playing through them as queer - a female PC romancing a female NPC is treated like a male

A lot of mainstream games with LGBT support are really bad LGBT rep because the games are playersexual. The best LGBT games are really weird, avant garde, the type of stuff itchio had to start removing last year or were otherwise at risk of censorship www.gamesradar.com/best-lgbtq-g...

Happy 90th birthday to Margaret Hamilton, who led the development of the on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo Guidance Computer. Here she is in 1969, standing next to listings of the Apollo guidance software she and her MIT team produced.

The purpose of feminism is not to "fix men". Will feminism help men? Fuck knows, hopefully. But patriarchal politics seek to reduce women to dependents, to hoard politics and economic power in the hands of men and reduce women to property. The purpose of feminism is to free us from that condition.
