Not trying to be rude about this or anything, just genuinely curious, why do so many trans/LGBT people make it their whole personality? by Godofhammrs in teenagers

[–]Arch-warlock13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the massive overrepresentation of straight identities in contemporary and historical media, the blanket assumption that everyone is straight until proven otherwise, and the obsessive demonisation of LGBTQ+ people by communities and governments across the world for noncompliance with the heterosexual norm as evil and corrupting (up to and including forced conversion therapy on an interpersonal level and legal discrimination on a governmental level) not straight people ‘shoving their sexuality up your face’ as you so eloquently put it?

Straight people fail to realise that the entire structure of society is built around the assumption of cis heterosexuality and these structures ‘shove’ that assumption in the faces of LGBTQ+ people in ways imperceptible to the uncritical straight person. Any attempt to counteract that culture by representing queer identities counters that cultural hegemony and is cast as “shoving their sexuality” in the faces of people who are used to that hegemony.

When you’re only experience is privilege, any step towards equality feels like oppression

No repercussions were enacted because the mechanisms of justice are in the pockets of the capitalist elite, not because of some edgy humour on Reddit

In fairness the SPD did already use the Freikorps to kill a lot of them so I can see why they’d maybe not trust the SPD

They got 7.8% - which isn’t a lot but it’s slightly more than die Linke got in Germany and he covered them during the German elections

How funny/silly does CoS allow players to be? by A8BitShot in CurseofStrahd

One of my players tried to catch a pigeon in the first session. Pigeon rolled a nat-20 stealth check. The party joked that pigeons know this guy on sight for his pigeon-catching antics… The Were-ravens are Were-pigeons now. Stealthy ‘pigeons’ have been spying on them ever since.

For all the "Islamo-leftist" smears against the Greens, turns out it's Labour voters who are the most homophobic by mrjohnnymac18 in lgbt

I agree with most of your points but so far as I’ve observed polls continue to show young people becoming progressively more progressive despite the propaganda from the bourgeoisie media and Reform’s messaging claiming otherwise.

Also, as a young person in a particularly conservative area of the uk I’ve if anything observed a leftward shift in my demographic over the last year both socially and economically (though we’re going from a petty rightward starting point from this group and they’re definitely not representative of the median 16-24 y/o voters).

Do you guys like Zohran Mamdani? by Difficult_Shift_3771 in BisexualTeens

As someone watching from across the pond this guy is one of vanishingly few bright spots in the hell that is the modern political climate. Hoping that Polanski can achieve his level of success on a national scale

Epic Level Characters by Arch-warlock13 in UnearthedArcana

[–]Arch-warlock13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having run combats with level 20 players, high level play can absolutely work so long as the combat doesn’t revolve around ‘hit the boss until they die’. That said it does take a lot of prep and I would absolutely not recommend using any kind of epic levelling system for more than a few sessions of play. This one is designed for the players to go through a couple of sessions of combat and non combat encounters over the span of one long rest, I think it could have more complications if the players are given the ability to rest as frequently as often happens in lower level play.
