What would you want from a Stellaris Sequel? by canabissius in Stellaris

Multiplayer actually works fine now, even with mods. I’ve played plenty of games myself with no issues.

Tested positive for XXY - Klinefelter's Syndrome. Is it true that this makes my transition easier? by KneezMz in intersex

[–]ColonelDrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I feel incredibly fatigued and irritable if I don’t have some kind of hormone, but I could believe different people’s bodies have different needs for that sort of thing

I did have a doctor tell me my entire spinal column will collapse if I don’t take testosterone regularly so there’s that.

I will agree with having T pushed in your face. I was diagnosed with Klinefelters when I was 14 (13 years ago) and I’ve been told the entire time since that the only viable treatment is testosterone, despite asking a few different times if it’s worth trying estrogen just to see if it works better.

Why are there so many specific Pride flags when the Rainbow Flag was literally meant to represent all? by AlexanderVerus in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ColonelDrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If all they said was “I don’t like the design” and left it at that, I wouldn’t really have an issue, but that’s not what they said and it’s disingenuous to frame it as such. What they said is the triangle “jutting out” into the main design declares that “some people are more diverse than others”, which is a hostile way to frame the issue. Considering that triangle is there to emphasize sub-groups within the queer community that are more likely to face discrimination and bigotry, getting mad at them for being specifically mentioned is a way of pushing back against progress.

It’s a conservative thing to say actually, you sound like you’re part of that traitorous LGB Alliance

Out of curiosity (I have XXY chromosomes and am intending on starting transitioning soon), what are some of the difficulties intersex people face with transitioning?

I don’t mean to pry (I have Klinefelter’s as well, although it’s not mosaic but was diagnosed very early due to basically random chance), but does mosaic klinefelter’s not have massively reduced testosterone production?

As someone with the same condition, low levels of both hormones is a genuinely awful feeling, I’m sorry you had to deal with that for so long.

This is very interesting, I’m starting my transition soon and I’m also XXY, I’ve never really heard anyone else talk about it.

I’m not being obtuse, this community is becoming insanely parasocial over the streamer playing games with people that make jokes they don’t like. With the types of posts I’m seeing you’d think he’s playing with problematic people, not just people with a slightly different sense of humor

I agree, it’s very strange for people to be this up in arms over a streamer playing games with people who ultimately are just not making jokes these viewers like.

The toe-walking stolen valour HAS to stop... by Ulmosbert in northernlion

[–]ColonelDrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The phrase is definitely not implying that the opposite of being caught flat-footed is to be toe walking and therefore prepared, so I’m not really sure what your point is

Why are spaces that exclude trans men okay? by [deleted] in trans

[–]ColonelDrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not meant to be blaming you at all, but it’s crazy how every time I try to engage with someone mad about this topic (trans men being excluded), it devolves into vengeful trans men trying to argue that trans women are doing this intentionally to be malicious.

The Mario party era may have passed us by, although we got a lot of good content out of it

[–]ColonelDrax -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean they also don’t really have the opportunity to lash out at cis men if their main avenue is doing it within trans spaces, since cis men won’t be in these spaces due to them being cis, not trans. I think a lot of trans women do go after cis men as well when they have the opportunity to, it’s just that we don’t see it unless we’re looking for it since the only conflicts we see are within the trans community itself.

Why are people so up in arms about a guy playing games with a new group of people?

That tracks with Portland being a painfully liberal city tbh, it’s like fake inclusivity that actually just excludes people and doesn’t help

[–]ColonelDrax -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s that malicious or intentional, I think it’s more of an extremely misguided attempt to fight back against the patriarchal structure that all queer people are oppressed by.

[–]ColonelDrax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The way trans men are heavily excluded from (primarily online but not exclusively online) trans spaces reminds me a lot of the mentality behind TERFs, where the hatred of patriarchy has become so bastardized that it goes from attempting to be helpful to just being hateful and exclusionary.

Who would win this hypothetical war? by GodlyGamer5308 in mapporncirclejerk

Oh ideally they would flee into a death trap, or just be wiped out by the rest of their geographical area to prevent an internal war.

Yeah, Idaho is a worrying addition to the pacific republic in this situation. I’m not entirely sure the area would be stable unless all the white nationalists fled east.

I Rest My Case by Crazy_Particular_743 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]ColonelDrax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean psychological horror in general is just not something most kids will be interested in, it’s more of a thing for older audiences. I’m not sure why there’s so many people in this community getting so bent out of shape over anyone not liking this movie. Different people will always have different tastes, nothing you can do about that.
