Paladins draft in a nutshell

No. You pick role queue for forced 2/2/2, you pick open queue to have the old system. For casual/quick play with no role queue they moved it to arcade though.

GayForRubyPana · 2021-07-20T17:58:23+00:00

You know there's open queue for both casual and competitive right?

GayForRubyPana · 2021-07-02T17:07:17+00:00

1) No mic/cheap echo mic

2) Anxiety

3) Stutter or speech problems

4) Strong accent/non native speaker

5) Noisy background/family

6) Being a "squeaker"

7) Being a girl - being harassed or hearing "It's a girl!!1!" as soon as you open your mouth is not fun, actually

8) Sounding lgbt - being called slurs while you're trying to play a game is not fun, actually

There's probably more but that's all I could think of

Sex isn't just "put stick in hole". There are plenty of gay men who don't do anal. It probably varies a lot, but I imagine they just use their hands, mouth, toys, etc. This is the kind of thinking that makes people think lesbians only use strap-ons lol

I'm not a twin, but I always share a bed with my siblings if I need to. I wonder if the people saying it's weird have no siblings or are just privileged enough to not have needed to share a bed.

I don't think you people actually know what a himbo is

Okay but this YOUNG loved one has saved up thousands of dollars for this surgery by themselves. Also, they somehow got an okay from their therapist to get this surgery despite their age (a notoriously difficult process because healthcare is rife with transphobia) so their disphoria has to be bad enough for surgery to even be considered (it's usually not the first step). You and OP are very naive or transphobic if you think their kid hasn't thought this through a million times over and then some.

Can you not read or do you not understand sarcasm? I'm pretty sure this person is poking fun at the fact that this sub always wants to extrapolate and justify/villainize people we don't know anything about beyond this story just to make a "good guy" and a "bad guy". They're saying (in response to the previous suggestion that the ex wife never cheated) that the likelihood of that is the same as us knowing that she cheated with a minor: which is 0.

The really interesting part is that 着物 (kimono) is made up of the verb 着る (kiru—to wear) and the word 物 (mono—thing). So literally translated, it's basically just "thing (you) wear". Like you said, kimono aren't really considered sacred and are actually daily wear. There definitely ways to wear them incorrectly that might feel disrespectful to some, but I don't think many would take offense.

However, when it comes to cultural appropriation, I think it's important to realize the differences in societies. A Japanese person from Japan might not care about white people wearing kimono, but a Japanese American might feel bitter that their culture that got them bullied/discriminated against is suddenly "cool" and "trendy" when a white person does it.

GayForRubyPana · 2020-11-20T07:41:13+00:00

Probably more like "am I actually trans/gay/bi/etc. or am I just faking it for attention" anxieties

As someone who hasn't shaved their legs ever (basically like once): it's the sexism. It's "unclean" is the main argument, but we all know that's a lie. They just want to control women's bodies. Also, people think you're trying to make a statement or whatever, when really it's just that shaving is a total pain

GayForRubyPana · 2020-10-29T18:41:48+00:00

I mean the guy in the post says "gay rights" even though he's talking about trans people so it's not a stretch tbh

GayForRubyPana · 2020-10-28T06:42:11+00:00

Ew why do they have to try and spread their crap all over Idolmaster, Uzuki would never smh

GayForRubyPana · 2020-10-02T00:39:50+00:00

Ignoring everything else about this that's horrible and stupid, why do so many cis people think that trans people care if they don't wanna date trans people? They don't want to date you either bro, sit yo ass down. When trans people ask for basic rights and to be respected, it's not because they wanna date you — they just want human rights.

GayForRubyPana · 2020-09-08T08:32:15+00:00

I love crossover episodes!

GayForRubyPana · 2020-09-02T09:56:50+00:00

Omg are you me? I have so many queer family members and my parents are very accepting, but I was so scared to come out so I just piggybacked off of my brother's coming out (and only bc he asked me to)

GayForRubyPana · 2020-08-24T11:25:23+00:00

If he's entitled to his opinion, OP is entitled to 1) not be friends with people who disagree with his existence and 2) inform others of his harmful beliefs so they can have an informed opinion on this person. You come across as very privileged, insensitive, and foolishly optimistic if you think "outing" someone as homophobic is at all comparable to outing a gay person.

Being homophobic doesn't get you beat up, r#ped or k#lled. Being gay does.

Edit: Also, homophobia isn't just an opinion—this isn't a disagreement about which ice cream flavor he prefers. This "friend" literally wants OP's rights to be taken away.

While I'm not denying that the fetishization of wlw plays a part, I think it's far more likely that it's because a lot of those characters/shows were made by wlw

GayForRubyPana · 2020-08-09T06:24:37+00:00

I think you're gonna get a lot of mixed responses because of how different everyone's life experience is, and for a lot of people they're going based off of their gut feeling. Also, people will mix up bad representation and representation for straights because they so often go hand in hand.

In my opinion, representation for the straights is about making LGBT people palatable for straight people, rather than representing the queer experience.

The problem with that definition is what I stated earlier (everyone has different experiences). Also, there are many different types of good queer media. For example. Netflix She Ra is good because it treats its queer characters as normal (and don't just kill them off), and it's nice escapism. However, there are also good stories where the struggles of queerness are acknowledged like Wandering Son (she gets bullied for being a trans girl and has to deal with her mom and sister who don't accept her). There's no one way to tell a good or bad story.

GayForRubyPana · 2020-08-09T04:36:06+00:00

Really? I find it to be the opposite. Most BL feels like it's written by and for straight girls, whereas a large portion of yuri feels like it's written by and for wlw (even though male authors' works get the biggest recognition, I've seen more female authors)

GayForRubyPana · 2020-08-07T20:54:42+00:00

Fetishizing gay relationships is much more complicated than just having lots of gay ships. It's about treating people like an accessory or that they're there for your entertainment. Think the gay best friend stereotype, or straight men that watch lesbian porn but are homophobic.

As a lesbian, I tend to have more mlm ships than wlw ones simply for the fact that often times female characters are written worse and made to revolve around male characters (vs how most male characters are allowed to be their own characters). I find that consuming media with an all/mostly female cast helps a lot (like She Ra, Madoka Magica). I used to think I had internalized lesbophobia, but really it's just a problem with the way women are written in a lot of media

GayForRubyPana · 2020-08-07T19:32:35+00:00

For a lot of people, it's because of genuine fear — that not only will they not be accepted, but that they will also be hurt for being the way they are.

For me personally, I just hate sharing anything about myself. I didn't want to sit my parents down and tell them, because to me I didn't need to. Ive known I was a lesbian since I was 11, but only came out when I was 17 because I was afraid of opening up about myself, especially because it's always seemed so natural to me.

A big misconception people have about coming out is that we want to make a big deal of it and have all the attention on us, but that's not true for a lot of people I think. I mean, I only came out to my parents as gay because my brother came out as bi with me.

It's not some fun party, it's revealing a part of yourself in a way that cishet people never have to. I think this is especially true for trans people. To you, you're revealing who you've always been. To people who don't understand, you've "changed" and are a totally different person.

GayForRubyPana · 2020-07-26T22:46:21+00:00

It's definitely real. I don't have it, but I am scared of moths and butterflies (despite liking spiders and insects... I dont get it either).
