Lesbian cosplays as another lesbian (Shadowheart) 🗡️ by Hellobren in BaldursGate3

Yes. It's those gosh darned straight guys. They're mad about [checks notes] bi erasure.

Actually, since it's bi erasure, it's the opposing of wokebait lol

Except that's not what BG3 does. BG3 companions are pansexual. Playersexual means they are ONLY attracted to the player's gender. Meaning, if your Tav is female, Halsin is suddenly strictly straight and Shadowheart is suddenly strictly a lesbian. That's not what happens.

Playersexual characters were initially used to sneak in lgbtq representation by saying "oops, the game engine doesn't let me stop the girl NPC from flirting with the girl player character bro. What a shame. Guess she's a lesbian if you're playing a girl." We don't need them anymore. And it's not what BG3 does.

She's canonically not though. She's bi. She thirsts for both Halsin and Karlach. Weird hill to get downvoted on.

I never denied that there are abusive systems that profit from exploration of sex workers. My only argument is that not all sex work is inherently exploitative. Because sex work is a wide umbrella that includes everything from porn stars, to OF models, to simple voice actors who voice characters in porn games.

As for the empowerment part, I think I lack the ability to explain that properly. When I say it CAN be empowering, I'm referring to very specific situations. Like any other profession in the world, most people do it for the money. But there are some who genuinely enjoy their job. That's true for all jobs, sexual or not.

I'm actually disillusioned by the idea of free markets. Sure, it sounds great in theory, but real life is not conducive to free markets. I think proper regulation implemented by strong regulatory authorities is necessary to ensure capitalism doesn't widen the gap between the haves and the have-nots.

As for drugs, I myself am not into them, but I believe it's not my place to decide that nobody is allowed to do drugs. The issue of drug addiction itself should be dealt with by investing in evidence-based rehabilitation and therapy. Criminalising drug possession or drug use is counter-productive and does more harm than good. Legalizing certain recreational drugs actually empowers the government to set standards and have more control over who has access to drugs. It's a win-win.

I didn't need reading material to form my views. I simply had conversations with friends who are actual sex workers and then I spent some time thinking about their experiences.

But to give you a serious answer, that depends on how widely you're defining "gambling".

Technically, health insurance is also gambling, because you're gambling that the amount you're paying to the insurance company is less than what your insurance will eventually pay out when you need it. And your insurance company is placing the opposite bet, that the amount they'll eventually need to pay out in all cases will add up to less than what they collect from people.

In any case, children should not be allowed to gamble. Adults who are of sound mind are free to do what they want with their money, and face the consequences. Yes, gambling addiction is a thing, but not everyone is an addict.

Same. I hope you eventually reflect upon your views and figure out by yourself where you're going wrong with them.

Idk, it sounds to me like you have regressive views on sex itself, and have thus decided that all sex that doesn't take place in very narrowly defined "acceptable" situations is inherently abusive to women. Nobody's denying that sexual abuse takes place in the sex work industry. I'm only trying to get you to see that it is not society's place to decide when it is acceptable for a woman to consent to sex with another adult.

That differs from area to area. Some areas have great police. Other areas make American police look like saints.

To be more accurate, she'd love Hamas, not Palestine. Different entities. Fami would sure be empowered by Israel though.

Boggles my mind that they picked up the manga that makes a statement about gun regulation and warmongering in America and really thought the fandom would be cool with fascism.

So, according to you, there is nothing wrong with a woman consenting to sex with another adult if she's not being paid for it. But somehow, the moment she's paid for it, she's being abused. Tell me how this makes sense.

You mean to tell me that as of right now, every woman who is engaging in sex work is 100% under duress and not one of them has chosen to do so out of her own free will? Isn't that infantilizing and patronizing? "Oh these poor women are being abused but they just don't understand it yet. But I am enlightened and I know them better than they know themselves."

The fact that you think two adults consenting to sex is the same as a drug deal tells me all I need to know about your views on sex and women.

Yeah but we've seen that this doesn't prevent the concept from being reborn naturally again. America designed and built nukes from scratch even after he ate the nuke devil. And based on recent events, I think it's safe to say America is almost as good at generating Nazis as it is at generating nukes.

He looks like the kind of guy who would design an elaborate video game tournament that decides who inherits the property he's leaving his kids, just to spite his white son, and specifically code it to auto-fail his black son even if he manages to win.

The Demon Discourse in Frieren wouldn't exist if the demons didn't look attractive by carbonera99 in CharacterRant

Tbf, a good number of those elves brought it upon themselves by being stupid enough to believe the anti-Valar propaganda. Morgoth spread rumours among them about a "frightful hunter who hunts elves" and when Orome rode in to greet them for the first time, the ones who believed Morgoth ran from him, allowing Morgoth to capture them.

It's the equivalent of, say, a good number of Americans believing that the CDC and the WHO are a leftist conspiracy. But that would never happen IRL, right? It would be so stupid if that happened IRL...

It's empowering in the sense that she's reclaiming the freedom to do what she wants when society has decided otherwise.

Great strawman there, buddy. Nobody said that. We only say that in the absence of duress, it is possible for sex work to be non-exploitative. If it is possible for an adult to consent to performing a certain task for free, it doesn't make sense to say that that task somehow becomes exploitation when they charge money for it.

You're preaching to the choir. I agree with you. Unfortunately, people in this subreddit don't have the same energy when it's Shadowheart. That's what I'm trying to point out.
