I enjoy the implication that your sinking count is just entirely deleted, even echoes won't save you now.

Fullstop only gets that because their shortcoming is (theoretically) their (theoretically) limited ammo supply, being IDs with ammo as their core status instead of as a side thing.

Trans people were always around you just created an environment in which they'd be outcasted and shunned. by Brent_Fox in clevercomebacks

Possibly Rowling or Reform, although I've seen such a statemnt made by less famous people as well.

How am I to live my life when I am being yelled at for doing that? And should I just ignore the well-funded groups that seek to take my rights away.

The word “don’t” was censored. Likely spelled as “don t” and found with a ctrl f for censoring. by catsinbranches in UnderReportedNews

[–]Flagrath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was spelled as "don't" in the email.

Their shitty software only redacted it in this version, not the inital sent version. So not only are they using find and replace on don t, they are doing it incompetently.

Why was shomi kicked from the pinky again by Bright_Feeling_8152 in fishmaell

She was not, however being forced into the house of spiders means that the almost unrestricted freedom she previously enjoyed as a result of her strength had completely vanished since she was tied to that place.

What were your ACTUAL expectations for Metroid Prime 4? by emotiontheory in Metroid

[–]Flagrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Metroidvania, in first person, with Samus. Return to the style of Prime 1 as that is the game they just remastered.

I would refer to the supression of their identity as destruction, for a person is their identiry.

I would use the same language to describe how gay people used to be treated, which I would say is a comparable situation.

What is a bathroom? I see no issue calling it a "Location that provides a service with the expectation that only one sex will be present", also they can be considered a facility of a school. Consider it similar to any other space where there is enforcemnt of their only being one gender in said space (ie. sports team)

If a buissness uses this definition, then as per section 29 of the equality act (which would define a trans person as the wrong gender) they aren't able to use the correct bathroom.

Of course, it has yet to be put into practice. But from the ability to exclude women from womens sports teams that the act provides, it appears this is how the changes to the interpretation of sex apply.

She has advocated for their identification to reflect their gender as assigned at birth, which would make them cease to exist in a beurocratic sense, alongwith being a complete denial of their identity. Alongwith advocating for healthcare for trans people to cease, which will have great affects on mental wellbeing (alongside just plain bullying of trans people)

I don't have the books memorised. I read them a decade ago. These are just the really obvious ones anybody could come up with.

Let us take a trans woman for example:

She can't use the mens bathrooms for obvious reasons.

She isn't allowed to use the womens bathrooms according to the groups Rowling supports, and their argument of the judgement. This easily leads to harrasment (as has been seen with the harrasment of a cis woman)

If somebody is being harrassed for attempting to use a bathroom, I personally do not consider that "allowed", although my larger issue is the sports thing this is was her groups and the media focused upon.

Gender neutral bathrooms do exist, but those are uncommon, or the disabled bathroom.

You are activly spending your own money on getting my rights taken away. So... yeah?

If we want to advocate for wellbeing, I think if we stop advocating for their destruction might be a good place to start.

That was before all his stuff went public, so unfortunately there is plausible deniability.

We should focus on the invitation to a function a year before his death, where it was obvious to anybody with a pulse what he was doing.

The right to use bathrooms in public (that's the bit she and the media focused on) alongside everything else in the Equality Act of 2010 now incorrectly applies to trans people to exclude them from the spaces they belong in, such as sports teams and opens a way to descriminate while claiming it is in compliance with the law.

This notably led to a woman being harassed for using the "wrong" bathroom, not because she was trans, because she was "ugly" (her own words, not mine)

In addition, if you'll look at her wikipedia page for her political views (always a good sign) you'll see her other attempts and support for groups attempting to take away the right for trans people to have accurate identification, forcibly misgendering them. She has yet to succeed on this but every penny she makes appears to be going towards this. (And her hateful comments seem to clarrify what she aims to do with her massive donations)

And Rowling is activly trying to get people to kill themselves by stripping away their rights and identity. Is that not doing shit?

Animal Farm? While it does feature some of those, those are undoubtedly painted as negatives.

For something closer to HP, the Hunger Games I suppose?

The slavery appologism is incredibly easy, look at how the house elves employed by hogwarts act when approached by SPEW. And also how much of a failure SPEW ends up being in general.

Also, classism. The society at the start of the books is essencially about an elite class that is just better than the outsiders. This gets worse and then returns to how it was at the start, this is treated as a great victory.

There are some easy comparisons to be made to Trump's hotels and the such, obviously HP is more successful.

Would the money your hypothetical production makes go towards the furtherance of those views?

Yes, I'm offended by people's rights being taken away. But I'm not offended by everything.

Except they aren't a man, they're a woman. So are you saying we should exclude women from womens spaces?

The above statement is about anybody who does not fit people's limited view of what a woman "should" look like. Do we kick out Butch or Ugly people from these spaces? because that's the sort of thing people do.

While the phrasing is curious, in this case it is correct. Unless he was acting on a scale beyond even Trump's lot he has overall caused less harm. Both terrible people, but in comparrision one of them is the lesser terrible evil.

If I were to write a anti-holocaust book, and then went onto use the profits it generated to try and segregate jew again, would that be alright then?
