People using AI to reverse engineer games to then turn around and publish clones is straight up theft. Why is anyone pretending otherwise? The only thing genAI is good at making is fucking talentless thieves. Prosecute the lot of them. Sue them to hell.

"I AM THE FLYING DUTCHMAN!" "That's it! Squidward, this ship belongs to the Red Baron!" "Who be disturbin' the Flying Dutchman's own lair?" "It's Squidward. He wants to complain to you."

Been seeing more trans folks use TERF talking points like saying “trans women need to unlearn male socialization” or “while it’s not a slur, we should be understanding why some women would be offended by the word cis because young tumblr transes use it as an insult and ruined it.” Kinda fucked.

Posting this here too. I made a screenshot edit/redraw of the Kukui proposal scene from the Alola anime in honor of their engagement engagement of TheGremlinGremlin and Queen Rubee. Congratulations y’all and here’s to a happy and healthy future for y’all! 🎉🎉🎉

a not insignificant amount of gatekeeping of transmasculine healthcare is on the basis of keeping perceived "girls" sexually appealing to these same people (see the "irreversible damage" rhetoric, the amount of fearmongering specifically revolving around T and mastectomies on ~healthy breasts, etc)

Following along @mzakharuk.bsky.social's reread of @juliaserano.bsky.social's "Whipping Girl". Barely any cis people understand the rampant rape culture inherent to the medical gatekeeping of trans healthcare. These "professionals" know the power they hold over trans people and often abuse it.

> In the 1970s, Suzanne J. Kessler and Wendy McKenna came across several instances in which gatekeepers were rather blatant about this practice: “A clinician during a panel session on transsexualism at the 1974 meeting of the American Psychological Association said that he was more convinced of the femaleness of a male-to-female transsexual if she was particularly beautiful and was capable of evoking in him those feelings that beautiful women generally do. Another clinician told us that he uses his own sexual interest as a criterion for deciding whether a transsexual is really the gender she/he claims.”
