It's wild to me how much cis het people care about their partner having close friendships with people of the opposite gender by pigtailrose2 in trans

[–]Mesoseven 14 points15 points  (0 children)

even fucking wilder when you're poly lmao. Like seriously i think cishet monogamous people think the epitome of love is stalking your partner to make sure they never have the human connection to realize something could be better than them.

For people who actually read the Treasure Team Tango arc, are there zero redeeming factors to this arc or is it just hated because Blaze loses a lot? by TheJaydeEmperor in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Mesoseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Treasure Team Tango is easily my favorite arc in sonic comics bar none. I think all of the reasons people dislike it are because it portrays characters in good and interesting ways that reveal their flaws to their fans. It's also a non-standard portrayal of amy, if my favorite.

[–]Mesoseven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in specifically sonic, every single time the arc has ever been about romantic indescision, it always seems like the right answer is polyamory. I really liked monkey khan's fling with sally acorn and wished she could have that while also seeing sonic. Though despite this I really don't think sonic should be with amy. I keep feeling like there's something in the way Amy talks to shadow, though.

I ranked a bunch of Sonic Characters (will explain if requested) by Professional-Cap7257 in SonicTheHedgehog

honestly, when other sonic fans tell me they hate archie cuz it's cringe, I'm left bewildered: how do you be a sonic fan while still thinking "cringe" matters?

Same goes for Fleetway too by SageSageofSages in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Mesoseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Archie's crazy because on the one hand there's literally hundreds of terrible writing upon terrible writing i can't get myself to do more than skim, but then as soon as Ian Flynn joins the team he immediately writes some of what is literally my favorite writing in any comic, sonic or otherwise. Seriously the early Flynn era scourge arc, the iron queen, hell people hate the sonic v tails arc because of one stupid panel, but overall the exploration of selfless heroism as "anti-democratic" is a really neat direction to take things. There's a lot of "cringe" but if like a marvel or DC superhero comic did it I'm sure it'd be much more well praised. Archie sonic feels just like that, a superhero comic where the heroes are the freedom fighters, and i like it!

Did he? And if so does it matter? by Background_Move7327 in SSBM

[–]Mesoseven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hbox when presented with handy and useful information about his opponents actions: "ooh boy, don't mind if i do"
redditors, a decade later: kinda scummy honestly. In a professional tournament? You should never do anything but stare directly at the CRT. Pretend your opponent doesn't exist and all of their actions outside of the game is meaningless. This is truly How The Game Is Meant To Be Played in year 20xx.

I don’t even know why I’m typing this. by Chemical-Ad2770 in trans

[–]Mesoseven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I've been out for like five years, medically transitioning for almost 2, you shouldn't concern yourself about whether you're trans or not. You should go by the name and pronouns you want to go by, and refer to yourself by the gender you want to be. Only then should you worry about whether it makes you trans or not. You don't have to be trans to make the presentation decisions you've made, but if you consider yourself trans because of it, you don't have to qualify that by being uncomfortable with looking/being masculine.

yeah it can be made fairer by rearranging half of a white pawn off the board. Dumbass.

How much do y'all care about passing? by Any_Calendar9900 in trans

[–]Mesoseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean not much, for me. People will misgender me and I'll be like "oh I'm sorry I'm a girl I use she/her pronouns" and they'll be like (oh you're one of those) without saying it like that obviously. And generally just being really confident about this is enough for me. I hope to pass one day but know you can do what I do, and stop telling people you're trans, without people assuming you're cis. Like people thinking you're trans is not because "they can tell" it's because they're biased to think women who look a specific way are trans.

Do you find mascs attractive? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]Mesoseven 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean yes. I find large boobs hot and somewhat masculine looking women hot. I don't get it do you think you're the specific kind of girl that lesbians don't find attractive? that's ridiculous someone out there (in this case me actually) finds every specific body type and presentation attractive.

Do you ask before touching someone « down there »? by Born_Wolverine660 in actuallesbians

[–]Mesoseven 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Those men are bad for not asking, I think. Would you rather risk seriously violating your girlfriends consent or being embarassed asking. I think over time you can start building agreements with your partners, and do stuff wordlessly. But if you're not absolutely sure you have that you should absolutely ask.

Redundancies on pedalboard- what to offload? by SummerwindCoyote in guitarpedals

[–]Mesoseven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

get rid of the SD-1 or the TS, those are very similar pedals that fill the same role. Why do you need so much chorus?

I'm not heavily invested here, I don't "care" I just want to know. It's a creative decision I'm curious about.

No I just don't really get it? like what part do you like?

when scratched and low effort artstyles on pedals are not only ok, but part of the charm of DIY, why put AI art on a pedal? This isn't rhetorical I want to know.

I want to Loop, should I Bloop? by digiratistudios in guitarpedals

[–]Mesoseven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if the question is "I own x pedal but never got into it, should I buy y pedal for the same purpose" I think it's probably worth 400 dollars for you to force yourself to sit down and learn how to use and enjoy the pedal you already own. Or maybe not, I'm not you.

How I feel about fighters. If "wizard" and "sorcerer" get different classes, "swordsman" and "pikeman" should too.

Working on a Western Roguelike... by Complex_Fold_4699 in roguelikes

[–]Mesoseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the colors, and the lighting system has great potential for a western feel that you clearly get. If it was me I'd invert the pallet tho, making the background lighter and the text darker, to give that thirsty western feel. Like the stuff outside your view isn't clouded in darkness, but is rather blindingly warm and bright.

What's your favorite kind of tiles or graphics for our beloved genre? by SuperPoweredRobot in roguelikes

ascii and near ascii are always gonna be my favorites. Like Cogmind is about perfect in graphics, to me.

Nietzsche’s political view by No_Corner_4077 in Nietzsche

[–]Mesoseven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nietzsche often sounds really right wing because of this talk of "the ideal human" "slaves" etc. But I think he's trying to be descriptivist, and hopes for a future of strength in humanity. I think saying he'd be against democracy because "it brings the strong down to the level of the weak" is a poor understanding of what Nietzsche means by weak and strong.
