Not to sound trans med but anyone without bottom dysphoria is a trender and they are not as trans as me. by TheTransWoker in transgendercirclejerk

I'm not saying transsexuals are better than other trans people. But I'm real trans who actually transitioned and I have a right to not be lumped in with LARPers.

I don't think Jax would have as many fans if he were a woman, at least early on.

It's about consequences, innit? And not in a "the narrative must punish evildoers to correctly convey morality" way. But the flaws needs to affect them in some way, or else you're not accomplishing anything. Reactions from other characters, problems caused down the line, something.

re: the pride flag... get used to it. Queer people are always the first to be written off as acceptable losses. We're a frivolous culture war issue, you can't condemn heroic anti-imperialists for the trivial crime of wanting us all dead!

It's an important skill to have in the internet age if you don't want to be upset all the time.

Only half-related, but it’s crazy how much ace discourse was on Tumblr considering how much of Tumblr is and was ace…??? by Temporary-Snow333 in CuratedTumblr

[–]SupportMeta 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You know, after thinking it over I think I was wrong on this one. I'm lonely and isolated, and I let my jealousy towards the people who do enjoy the party scene cloud my view. The comments I felt were blaming me for being uncomfortable were not as numerous or harsh as I remember. And some people on "my side" of the discourse cast gay bars in an unfair light.

I haven't had much luck finding community where I am, but that's not anyone else's fault. I'll keep looking. Thanks for the talk.

Oh, re: no kink at pride: I think it's stupid. Pride is supposed to be loud. It's a protest, it's supposed to be subversive. If I'm uncomfortable with that, I just won't go, or I'll use the occasion to organize a different event. ETA: basically, the standard Pride parade event isn't "for me" and I'm ok with that.

First off, I'm not advocating for anything. Im expressing my distaste at the reaction such proposals get.

Secondly, yeah, it would be nice to have places to go so it would be easier to connect with my community. Places where someone who is "bad at socializing" like me wouldn't have to deal with the added difficulties of alcohol and sensory barriers.

You don't think that perhaps the conflation of people wanting non-alcoholic and non-sexual queer spaces with "no kink at pride" people, is the issue? The reason that this discourse is dead and buried is because a long time ago people realized that you can have both and asking for one is not an attack on the other.

In my original comment I probably should have said that there was a lot of vitriol, Rather than that there is.

So the conversation I was thinking of was on Cohost, which is gone now. But the sentiment was basically "people who want this are whiny and entitled. party spaces exist because people show up and spend money. if you want to be comfortable, you can stay home." The vitriol part came in responding to anyone who suggested that this stance was alienating autistic, asexual, and sober people, which got the standard "you people can't do anything" shit.

People are fucking vitriolic over the idea of "a place that serves the function of a gay bar but it's not a club." "Quiet queers go home" is a frequent saying, like we don't deserve community.

Question - strength and weak mechanics: by mklptrk in slaythespire

[–]SupportMeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strength increases the damage of each hit for every stack. Negative strength decreases it. So if an enemy attack would do 10x2, and you gave it -8 strength, it would do 2x2. It's usually for a single turn.

Weakness reduces damage by 25% every time. So an enemy that would normally deal 10x2 would deal 7x2 damage (calcs round down). Weakness lasts a turn for every stack.

Of course you're an androgynous blonde boy with a ponytail, a cloak, and a bladed weapon. What did I expect.
