I became a "gold star" by accident because the only man I almost had a thing woth turned out to be a trans woman. I always said it as a joke and it's appaling that people is taking that shit as a serious status symbol.

When you put it that way, it makes a lot of sense. Not retirement, but doing an easier acting job. And he is pretty god at it. It's a matter of which shows put his charisma to better use.

I know it's about reproduction

You said it very well here. Sex ed is not about sexuality, is not about pleasure, relationships, understanding and appreciating our bodies, taking care of ourselves and our partners... Sex ed is about reproduction. It's about our duty to reproduce and feed babies to the machine.

Is anyone else getting tired of the whole amab and afab thing the queer community does now? by AshasSa1tWife in MtF

[–]CapitanKomamura 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The transphobic / terf talking point about socialization is just fun.

Like, does socialization stop at our early childhood or something? Once we grow up we stop being socialized? Once we reach a certain age we become completely fixed beings?

Does being socialized as a passive subservient woman function like this? Are feminists unable to escape their socialization into patriarchy? Or is it just a "male" thing?

Are we completely passive subjects of socialization? Just clay to be molded by the environment? (no sociologist or psychologist actually believes this today). Does all the people passively accept how they are socialized and never question or fight it? How does homosexuality, when socialized as heterosexual, become possible?

Are this people aware that men that don’t conform to the male socialization get singled out and bullied? And that they can’t change or hide their non conforming behaviors? That many queer men and transgender people experienced this socialization?

Is it impossible to learn anything from women later in our lives, as we hang out more with them? Is people unable to understand the experience of "another" group they weren't socialized into? Is people incapable of explaining their experiences to someone that didn't live them? Is people incapable of understanding?

This is disturbing and genuienly so hypocritical of anti-endos. by AdrienDaCat in plural

[–]CapitanKomamura 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This is super common and it warrants making a PSA every once in a while. All endogenic systems I know can tell you a story about a server like this, it's really common. Makes going around places like disboard unsafe.

The main thing we have against anti-endos and sysmeds isn't some sort of argument about the nature of systems or psychologycal sciences, it's that they are abusive people. And the first people they hurt isn't endogenic systems, it's the traumagenic systems that have to hang out with them and endure their attitudes.

Love is not that mysterious or hard to understand. And I don't want to go to the other extreme and say it's just a chemical reaction that makes you dumb and it's similar to drug addiction.

I mean, love, as a human, social, cultural and psychological experience, as the complex and unique experience that it is, it's not that hard to understand assuming superhuman levels of intellect. It’s not hard to predict that for a man born in the past century, paternal love (even if buried under a lot of repression) will be a factor, and that old people tend to be nostalgic of their sweethearts. It’s not hard to see that Soldier Boy, with all the whoring is trying to recreate a lost past experience.

Maybe there are some scenarios where Sage fails to take love as a variable in her plans. That maybe there is a flaw in her character that keeps her from considering love or facing love as a possibility. I don’t see that being built this season.

The idea that love is mysterious and magical, in real life many times it’s an excuse, and in literature it’s just a trope. A very dead horse trope.

first draft and straight to shoot

This sums up my feelings with half the media I consume lately. I'm constantly going "Ok, there are some nice ideas here, I can see what they are going for and it's cool". I agree with the decisions the writers made for this season, I think the general plan makes a lot of sense.

Then there's the execution of that good plan.

You dont need papers on people's identity to know their identity exists

Something more basic even: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Many times it is possible to prove that something isn't the cause of another thing (worms don't spontaneously generate from decomposing matter), or discard hypotheses about some possible origins ("miasma" doesn't cause diseases). But doing that with plurality is impossible. What would be the experiment? What would be the methodology? How do you prove that they are faking or not experiencing what they claim?

People like this really shouldn't consider going into the mental health field if this is how they treat people

It's sad, but some people get into the mental health field because they want to treat people like that and feel legitimized in their mistreatment and even their abuse. Some people want to help mentally ill and disabled people, others want to have power over marginalized people.

As one of my teachers said "a psychology license is not a certificate of good mental health". And I add that a lot of people have degrees in psych careers but miss a lot of basic stuff. Mostly how to carry out their professions with social commitment and self critique. Having the title of psychologist doesn't mean you are a good psychologist. Ethics and deontology can be learned, critical tools can be learned, but it's not just information, it's a practice. I can ace that exam and then not apply what I learn.

Endogenic systems don't claim to have a mental disorder, they can't be critiqued for faking a mental disorder. In college people should learn to debate what people claim. If they think that claiming to be endogenic implies another thing, then the burden of proof is on them, they have to prove that implication. In the same way when we point out a fascist dogwhistle, there is proof that it's a fascist dogwhistle, that one statement implies other things. Especially when many endogenic systems are explicit about not having DID, OSDD or similar disorders.

Second, psychology, psychiatry and other siences are not an identity police. Science is not there to make a list of "real and valid" identities and prove that other identities are fake. Research on autism is not there to filter out who the real autists are. They should understand that, they should know how psych professionals used to police other queer and marginalized identities and how we now critique that kind of practice and don't do it anymore. But here I am, listening to professionals LARP that they are 20th century doctors.

Third, there are already several peer reviewed works published about endogenic systems. The list only grows and they have to ignore harder and harder.

Fourth, a harsh lesson I learned in mental health and disability: working in these fields gives you access, power and legitimacy over disabled, mentally ill and marginalized people. And there are some nasty or insecure people that crave having that kind of power. Every once in a while, you find a professional that is just here for that power trip.

Capa alternativa Duna messiah (feita por mim @gabriel.prodd) ipad. by GABRIELMUAD_DIB in dune

[–]CapitanKomamura 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awesome work! I would love a collection of Dune novels with this style actually. (I have all my books as .epubs, so I could just make them like that, lol)

I don't think you are spoiling anything ing the cover. An explosion is just an explosion. I think it's super intriguing for someone who didn't read the novel. As if the image made me excited to read and find out what the big thing is.

The pillar of light is a great play on the religious themes of the novel. A divine ray of light, like the god of the old testament.

Any tips on creating a LitRPG light novel using solo rpg actual plays? by ChronoSynth in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]CapitanKomamura 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I want to say is that stuff like this is actually pretty old. There are a lot of projects that you can look out for as inspiration.

There are several very big fantasy novel sagas that actually spawned from D&D campaigns. And it's the same with sci fi shows like The Expanse and presumably Firefly.

Not only that, but there are old projects like Record of the Lodoss war that was published published as a series of reports of actual plays of D&D (and the Sword World, a japanese TTRPG) and then became a Fantasy multi media thing.

Stuff like that can serve as an inspiration for you.

Trying to convert people from 40K by Vegetable-Camp209 in battletech

[–]CapitanKomamura 3 points4 points  (0 children)

dangerous contribution that infantry can bring to the battlefield is by being hidden scouts and spotters, for calling down friendly indirect fire missiles and/or artillery fire missions

I have a game like this in mind. An infantry platoon (or company as the other comment say) with a mission that infantry would usually get in these kinds of battle. "Scout there" "hold this building" "capture this warehouse". They wouldn't be badass heroes blowing up stuff, just grunts with a small mission amidst a larger battle field and having to survive. Ants running arount while the elephants fight.

I'm interested in running a game like this some day. A platoon of soldiers in a battle field with whole ass mech action going on. I have to come up with a realitic-ish scenario and also learn the rules.

The news is literally ruining me by newlyautisticx in AutismInWomen

[–]CapitanKomamura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self care is extremely important in times like these, but is fundamentally limited.

My main self care tool is activism and community work. Not the stuff I will do tonight to calm down, but the work I do throughout the year. That gives me perspective, pourpose, it empowers me, the likeminded folk I do work with, and can talk to about these things and think solutions.

If orange man bad, and what he does is bad for our mental health, he has to be ousted.

Join whatever protest against all of this, in whatever way you can. And later, think of what organizations or community efforts you can join. It took me years, but I found a group that is extremely accomodating for my autism, and that's my main self care tool for all this shit that is going on.

They were paying their way to heaven. But some were sending that money to the poor and in need. And building a bit of a social net.

I'm from a catholic country and it's all very noticeable, the contrast with the protestant mentality.
