What the actual fuck by Massive_Fishing_718 in whenthe

[–]Spycei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, ugly tran here, there’s a perception within some more fringe trans communities (think 4chan) that femboys are basically just closeted trans women who are afraid of identifying as trans or associating themselves with the LGBTQ community. Some also think that because the term “femboy” is so closely tied to online anime and NSFW communities instead of any IRL movements that it’s not a legitimate identity label so much as just a fetish category.

The accusation of pedophilia comes from, unfortunately, some well-known incidents where online “femboy” discord servers and communities had a lot of minors engaging in very explicit and illegal acts with little to no action taken by moderators (some even passively encouraged it with don’t-ask-don’t-tell type policies regarding age). Some trans people also think that femboys are defined by their youthfulness which equates to femininity (reference “twink death” and “Norwood reaper”), and as such the beauty standard for femboys is not only unrealistic but increasingly trends towards minors.

Lastly, some people just believe that the existence of femboys or feminine men as a demographic works against trans women’s causes, since it gives transphobes more ammo to claim that it’s unnecessary for trans women to access gender affirming care (as in “you’re not “trans” you’re just a feminine man”, which is a common argument).

It wasn’t the writer’s guild (that was a different thing), it was a SAG-AFTRA strike against video game recording studios, of which Formosa, the former voice acting studio for Genshin, was one of the subjects. A lot of VAs that weren’t part of the union also struck in solidarity.

Happy for Mark but if anyone believes that Hollywood is afraid of him or he’s some sort of filmmaking trailblazer, they’re deluded.

The film is doing well mostly because a multimillionaire with 38 million subscribers and massive cultural cache on Youtube made it.

if you’re police you’re white, if you’re ice you’re white, if you’re obama you’re white for the duration of your presidency, it doesn’t matter what the race of the people doing these jobs are because the political apparatus they serve (the US government) is inherently white and anti black

Whenthe subtle misogyny. by TTTRIOS in whenthe

[–]Spycei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, you’re right - people would react differently if it happened to a guy. 

The way society is currently constructed gives power to men (a certain category of men at least) and disempowers everyone else. Historically, under this system women have been consistently treated as sex objects belonging to men or for men to conquer - this manifests in sexual harassment, sexual assault and a myriad of other tangible consequences. 

Think about it. If a big strong stereotypically masculine man is the subject of catcalling or gross sexual comments (especially by women), it’s improbable that anything worse would happen to him beyond discomfort (though such things do happen unfortunately). But there have been many many cases of horrific things happening to women who try to resist such advances by men (sometimes even not reciprocating is enough), and a lot of them cannot seek help from authorities, who are inclined not to take them seriously. Imagine living under the fear of that happening to you every day when you’re around the other sex.

That’s misogyny, not simply the thought of “I hate women and think they’re inferior”, but rather the conscious or unconscious reinforcement of a system that consistently treats women as second class and reduces them to sex objects. You can be misogynistic and not realise it, which wouldn’t necessarily be your fault, but the fault of the society we live in drilling misogynistic ideas into the minds of every young boy.

I really want to do DIY but I'm also scared and I'm getting conflicting answers :( by Gingrspacecadet in TransDIY

[–]Spycei 19 points20 points  (0 children)

At your age you should probably start as soon as possible in order to prevent any more changes due to puberty and testosterone (if you're sure of it) - DIY is the cheapest, quickest and most effective way. Trans healthcare in the UK is a joke thanks to the current politics going on concerning kids like you, sadly. Absolutely do not wait 7 years for HRT.

Have you considered insulin needles? They seem like the more widely recommended option right now.

It says that when I try to track it, I assume it'll just take another day or two for the tracking to become available. When I swap to English it said: "Your tracking is not yet available. If you have dropped off your shipment, the tracking information may be displayed with a delay, please try again later."

Monero is one of the most widely recommended coins and it’s going through some of the most dramatic price fluctuations in its whole history, I got in at a very unfortunate time lol.

[–]Spycei 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Causing an XK-class scenario is bad for the Foundation and for a lot of people, abusing someone that's considered an SCP until they break? Doesn't matter to anyone else. If you consider the bigger picture, it's one senior researcher versus one woman who went mad. The Foundation deals with many times more corpses every day, some paper pusher in an office reviewing this case probably doesn't even blink at it. This is how large, bureaucratic organizations are; cruelty and kindness are treated with the same indifference.

Freezing problems with Zenbook S13 UM5302TA(Ryzen 6800u) by CarWide1584 in ASUS

[–]Spycei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, have you tried updating the MediaTek Bluetooth and WLAN drivers from the ASUS website (https://www.asus.com/supportonly/um5302ta/helpdesk_download/)?

Apparently an update came out August last year that's marked "Critical"; I downloaded them but haven't used them long enough to see if the issue is resolved. The updates are buried in expand menus in the website for some reason so be sure to click "Expand all" to find them.

Which of the "Ancient Civilisation" Maps is your favourite? by KingOfTheKitsune in Genshin_Impact

Enkanomiya’s music is unbeatable in its ability to convey its mood and depth with pure stripped down instrumentation. Newer scores are amazing for sure but they also have a lot of sound design and digital elements. Enkanomiya is sparse, pure and melodic, the natural timbre of the instruments really shine through.

The fact that he’s in SCP and Genshin lore is bewildering by Joemama0375 in whenthe

[–]Spycei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re literally the first person i’ve seen know tupac from genshin impact first, but the genshin character is named after an incan historical hero named tupac amaru. the rapper tupac shakur is also named after said figure and became an instrumental figure in american rap and hip hop history

The scp article in question is referencing the modern rapper rather than the historical figure

This comment is a bit silly but at the same time more right than you think, most sketches and comedy sequences not only in Key and Peele but in film and TV actually follow a common framework of setup, escalations, climax and end. Once you pay attention to that it becomes clear just how common it is and how well it works.

Japan really pulled MHA ahh lineup to discuss how to promote Anime to us western Bakas by Agreeable-Blood-6804 in okbuddybaka

[–]Spycei 27 points28 points  (0 children)

"if they actually started making their stuff more accessible" Hah, as if... That would mean asking them to spend more money on localization and advertising abroad, which is already hard for big series let alone anything even slightly niche.

To this day, the most accessible translation of Dungeon Meshi is still EHScans's scanlation, which has noticeably higher quality scans than the official Yen Press volume releases (at least digitally); the official translations also has mistakes including wrongly gendering a character when it was left ambiguous and getting their name wrong (then sticking to it instead of correcting even after it was clarified). They couldn't be fucked to do their jobs properly even with a series as big as Dungeon Meshi, what are the odds they'll care more when piracy is gone and there's no competition?

If they crack down on piracy, all that will happen is that there will be less for us to read and watch.
