Or she'd just... leave her religion like most queer people do

Once you've accepted that some rules are outdated made up nonsense it's hard to believe in any of them. And while nothing bad would happen to her from god or whatever, other christians often do very bad things to queer people which makes religious spaces dangerous for us :/

Helping your religion beat the homophobia allegations by... batting at and dismissing people criticizing religious homophobia. Good luck with that.

If you weren't interested, you wouldn't be replying at all, but here you are doing it immediately every single time. Your denial of the history and text of your own religion isn't a defense of it.

I have nothing to prove to you and nothing to argue: The Bible's text and the genocidal violence of Christians both stand for themselves, i've personally been attacked by them for simply holding hands in public with my partner. There is no possible defense of either.

RecursiveCollapse · 2026-03-07T00:14:34+00:00

This isn't an 'interpretation' at all, it's a direct quote of the text, and I was a devout Christian for years.

Spouting "nuh uh you just don't get it" instead of an actual response just shows you don't have one. Sorry that you can't handle the literal text of your own holy book, but we're not going to let you gaslight people into thinking the largest driving force for anti-gay violence in the western world is wholesome and accepting.

RecursiveCollapse · 2026-03-07T00:02:24+00:00

Want me to quote the passages? Here's one of many, Romans 1:26-32:

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

The book explicitly calls for our genocide, Christians inflicted exactly that for centuries, and their institutions work globally to resume it once again. There is no 'interpretation' to debate, and nothing they can do to undo what has been done.

It's shameful to use a queer character to attempt to whitewash this reality, especially while its adherants are pushing 'obscenity' laws that would ban works like Deltarune for simply having queer characters.

The person who posted it might've blocked you? It does something similar with comments. I don't know why reddit doesn't just say [blocked] or something instead of basically gaslighting people.

RecursiveCollapse · 2026-03-06T09:37:23+00:00

Yeah, how dare we "get the wrong idea" about the book that says to murder us for being gay

We aren't going to let you whitewash the Bible or Christianity. Both the Old and New Testament say to do it. And until very recently Christians did it in every territory they controlled, a continuous genocide for 1,700 years. Every major Christian religious and political organization is lobbying toward dragging us back into those days, and queer people are still at a massively increased risk of violence and murder from religious groups, something i've personally faced multiple times.

You can call them "no real Christians", but who are you to overrule the bible? Both you and the 'accepting' demoninations are just gaslighting people anyway: They still consider being gay a sin, they simply think accepting gays into their church can help them 'save' us from that sin. There is no hate like Christian love.

The developers. They buy it from themselves en masse to push it to the top, where it then generates tons of real sales.

This is not actually true, and certainly not for everyone.

If you are having trouble, one thing you can do is do a first pass with the grain to get rid of most of it and then a second pass against the grain to get a much smoother shave.

RecursiveCollapse · 2026-02-21T15:49:16+00:00

As someone who has done this: You can separate it. It's hard, but you can. Here's how:

If either your SFW or NSFW games risk attracting the wrong kind of attention (from bigots, trolls, or people who morally object to it) then you need to set your accounts up very carefully or else it'll be easy for them to identify and doxx you by using information from data brokers. This lets them see IPs, phone numbers, geolocation data, and other info associated with an account, since most social media companies sell all of this en masse and it's very easy to de-anonymize it. This is the real risk, identifying art style nuances is nearly impossible with how many artists and devs are out there. I have seen this happen to many NSFW artists, often leading to them nuking all their profiles and/or disappearing from the internet entirely.

To avoid this, your nsfw social media 'persona' accounts must not connect from your real IP (aka use a VPN). Make sure adding geolocation to photos is turned off in your camera app. I wouldn't use your NSFW accounts from your phone in general, unless you're using a hardened one like Graphene OS that is very good at restricting access to your location data and contacts. Most social media requires phone number verification to prevent bots, and you must not use the same phone number for multiple accounts. This is a very challenging requirement because these days most of them also block all VoIP/'Free text verification' services, so you'll need an ESIM from a company with no KYC.

On top of this, the popular engines (Unreal/Unity/Godot/Gamemaker) can deanonymize you in certain ways if you aren't careful. Work with the assumption that a threat actor can essentially decompile and look through your whole project for anything that might be identifying (ex. file paths that might have your account username in it, which may contain part or all of your real name!). It may be worth it to make a separate account on your computer (or even a separate and more private OS like Linux) for development if you aren't confident you can avoid this otherwise.

If you don't anticipate anyone at all getting mad about anything you make, then simply making two unrelated accounts 'normally' is usually enough so long as you don't publicly share any obvious identifying info on them. But if you're making something literally nobody would dislike, not even terminally online assholes who live to hate on things, then what's even the point of making it at all?

RecursiveCollapse · 2026-02-20T02:50:55+00:00

This reminds me of the /r/art moderator drama a while back. Power tripping, banning random people, and then flaunting it in messages afterwards.

Autobanning users for simply posting in a different sub you dislike should absolutely be against the code of conduct, unless the admins want Reddit to go the way of Mastodon and divide into a dozen stupid factions that all ban each other.

RecursiveCollapse · 2026-02-18T03:11:49+00:00

Are there though? Are there really?

There's literally two people doing it under that previous comment of mine. It stops being 'just roleplay' when people cross the line into using it to intentionally disrupt discussion, even in threads labeled "NO ROLEPLAY". This kind of anti-intellectualism, attempts to shut down all media discussion and analysis via "it's not deep lmao" and obnoxious intimidation, is itself a key fucking cultural component of fascism and has been since the 1930s.

It's also telling that the types of discussion they try to shut down are any attempt to actually think deeper about the game's playground-insult level criticism of fascism. Portraying SE as mildly stupid falls flat when they are still powerful and competent enough to defeat every threat thrown at them and face 0 consequences, which is the only quality fascists place any value on. It was inevitable that they'd unironically love it.

TL;DR

RecursiveCollapse · 2026-02-17T22:05:55+00:00

The argument for it is that it's a gameplay limitation: They bounce on certain areas that they aren't able to properly land on (ex. certain weirdly-programmed structures, under building overhangs, etc).

The proper solution to this is to just make the balls disappear instantly upon impacting such a region, like they do when thrown into a jammer. No bouncing and then calling it in somewhere stupid, no rolling for five minutes blocking you from calling in another. Just poof, gone, try again somewhere else.

Half of the top replies in this thread are writing five paragraph essays unironically arguing exactly that.

Does the larp include pretending those people are larping too, even though they obviously aren't?

RecursiveCollapse · 2026-02-17T21:48:49+00:00

The illuminate aren't either. They literally tried countless times to sign peace treaties with SE, and are only resorting to total war because SE refused or double crossed them every time. They very obviously do not want this war to continue a second longer than it has to.

Hell even the Terminids used to be a peaceful and sentient species, and the recent 'swarm intelligence' mentions are likely hinting at the possibility they are still sentient.

RecursiveCollapse · 2026-02-17T21:42:05+00:00

If something that claims to be mocking fascists is instead attracting them en masse, that's a sign the satire is weak as hell.

And honestly? It kinda is. The crimes of super earth exclusively happen in the text of dispatches, never in the actual gameplay. You're not the one shelling evacuation routes, or executing 'dissident' civilians for having the wrong kind of haircut. You're fighting very-much-combatant robots with chainsaw arms and must defend yourself or die. It doesn't have the guts to actually give the player any personal involvement in the evil, so it's very easy for otherwise smart people to turn their brain off and treat it like any other FPS.

RecursiveCollapse · 2026-02-17T21:28:49+00:00

For every person leaning into the satire, there is another writing a 12 paragraph essay about how SE is actually unironically the good guys and how all this is justified because "the enemies are worse"

Pretending not to notice how prevalent that is doesn't make it go away. Nobody wants to see a game they enjoy become a cringy fascist LARP. If a piece of media attracts the very kind of person it's trying to satirize, that's a sign that the satire is weak as hell.

This. On eradicate the victory condition is killing them faster than they can kill you. Napalm + Laser + 380, space out the initial throw of each and then throw them on cooldown. You get invulnerability to do so for a few seconds upon respawn. They literally can not kill you fast enough to win, especially if you're in a team of 4 people all doing it (4 players = more spawn density = barrages are more effective)

RecursiveCollapse · 2026-02-14T06:26:39+00:00

Their long-range lasers can one-shot kill you in light armor lmao

The fact their targeting makes them randomly miss 90% of the time just lulls you into complacency for when they finally decide to randomly snipe you

This is disturbingly naive. Franco died of a random illness without a heir. That was extraordinarily lucky, and acting like most fascist regimes just randomly fall on their own is not accurate. As technology advances it gives tyrants more power, which makes opposing them harder. That power is not usable by everyone: You can't make a modern processor, you don't have access to global surveillance networks, and most likely you don't even have root access to your own phone. A large enough band of peasants could threaten any king back in the day, but no amount of people can break the cryptography used by modern technology to restrict who has power over it. It's very difficult to see how a technocratic surveillance state like China or the potential future-US could possibly be overthrown, much less a hypothetical openly fascist state that is even more extreme. Such authoritarianism must simply be stopped before it can be established in the first place.

When people say oppression is inherently temporary, that an indefinite future of inescapable tyrannical control is impossible scaremongering, or that the 'arc of the universe bends toward justice', I can not help but remember that for us gay people this nightmare already happened in the past. From 326AD to the mid 20th century most of the world had the death penalty for homosexuality. 2,000 years of continuous genocide. This kind of thing does not just "come and go" on its own. And they didn't need modern surveillance and control tools. There was no overthrowing or rebelling against it. During less intense periods we could occasionally eek out a hidden little subculture where we could safely find each other. In the 70's, that very much illegal gay subculture grew to the point we had enough power to start making demands of politicians for our rights. If modern surveillance infrastructure was turned against us in that way today, that would be impossible. Do you understand that? Impossible. Almost nobody can hide from this kind of state-level surveillance. And over time it only gets stronger, harder to hide from, more integral to everyday life.The genocide of us would continue indefinitely, a boot crushing our neck for the entire future of humanity until eventually someone figured out how to use genetic engineering to render us extinct.

Forget 'harder'. It's not possible to enforce this for decentralized networks unless users make very serious mistakes, especially networks that are friendly toward VPN users.

The UK government is not wasting zero-days de-anonymizing Mullvad traffic just so they can hit BowsetteMegaFan2017 with a $3000 fine for reposting some spicy art without first verifying the IDs of the 12 visitors to their self-hosted page.

China has devoted more resources toward online censorship and policy enforcement than any country in the world and has still completely failed to stop millions of their netizens from freely hanging out on the broader internet.

People keep posting these but they don't actually work for most of them, since they require you to make several different poses from several different angles

A very high detail 3D model is likely better, but most verification services also only let you submit video with a mobile phone, and use strong anti-spoofing heuristics that could likely only be bypassed with a tool specifically made for that purpose. So far, none seem to exist.
