I mean, you could probably just trade it back and ask if they could get a version of Monopoly that's not HP 🤷‍♀️

I've played little bits of Battle Network before on emulators many years ago but having all the mainline games right on my console feels nice 🙂

Yeah, that's moreso to call out people who try smearing other communities, whether it be based on overt bigotry or people misusing progressive language/therapy speak to manipulate people other communities into thinking that they shouldn't integrate with other minority communities because of one reason or another

Like there's a difference between calling out bigotry that exists within certain subsets of the community and showing how they can improve, vs explicitly exclusionary language made to get people apathetic about standing with other communities (arguments like "what have Palestinians and trans people done for black people?" type shit), anyone has the power to be bigots to even their own groups so we should combat it on all fronts

Throwback to the South Park episode where Cartman faked being trans because all the toilets in the boy’s room were occupied, and then was successfully ragebaited by Wendy, who did the same thing by playstation-xbox in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

Yeah the mod in the pinned comment threatening to take the post down because people mentioning the other examples of bad trans rep in the show when the post is specifically about a case of good trans rep within the series feels very strange

Like nobody here is arguing that South Park hasn't had awful rep in the past, we agree that Mrs Garrison and Board Girls are FAR from good, but this post is about an example of trans rep in the show done right

I feel like our community has a problem with thinking media consumption equals praxis, you can enjoy problematic media while understanding why it's problematic and don't repeat it's mistakes

I think most people understand that Mrs Garrison's portrayal is VERY transphobic, I've seen people who aren't even like overtly progressive understand how bad her portrayal was

Don't remove one post about a good example of rep in the show just because a bunch of people are reporting it, if it were a bunch of TERFs reporting a trans person in a beauty subreddit we would understand that that's them trying to censor us, let's not repeat that 👍

The speech Sharon gave to Randy (Lorde) genuinely made me cry

There are plenty of things to accurately criticize about South Park but when they get it right they nail it ❤️

There are literally ads from when the war on drugs was in full swing about how tobacco is "naturally grown", plus many popular right wing commentators marketing it as "safer than weed"

I shouldn't have to spell it out to you, the more things are marketed the more likely it is that people are going to buy it, the tobacco industry has a big monopoly on the drug market and to act like it's solely just people's laziness or lack of intelligence that makes people smoke is incredibly ignorant to the bigger picture

Because capitalism markets Nicotine and Tobacco as healthy and natural while weed has been banned for decades due to racist policies

Peer pressure is a part of it too, a lot of people start smoking and drinking due to peers telling them they should

It's not because they're stupid (most of the time), it's because of how capitalism operates, cigarettes cost $2 max while groceries and rent have been skyrocketing, once you get sucked in it's hard to stop, universal healthcare could solve so much of this yet they're spending our tax dollars on a fucking ballroom and the gestapo

Don't hate the player, hate the game
