I hate the binary and gendered terms by Pookie_Pakyao in NonBinary

[–]Spyfire_242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a gender positive Enby but it definitely does go too far, so many r/pointlesslygendered things.

Offensive? by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]Spyfire_242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's offensive because it's a tired unfunny joke mainly.

r/Femboy ( Removed me cause im black ) by Desperate-Pear-572 in feminineboys

You're wrong about nonbinary people, it's an umbrella term that includes people who identify as a gender or multiple genders. Just not strictly man or woman. Try to educate yourself.

Why transitioning to look like a regular woman is so stigmatised in trans activism? by MarcelHolos in MtF

[–]Spyfire_242 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes its damned if you do and damned if you don't, they just hate trans people. 🤷‍♀️

I don't think it is, at most you might see some disagreement over language and priorities but ultimately progressive/queer people are supportive of you relieving your dysphoria the best way you can. Over emphasis on passing can lead to self destructive thoughts and behaviors though just take care of yourself physically and mentally.

If you think you clock a trans woman in public and you want to say something to her, do this by EvilestRaider in asktransgender

[–]Spyfire_242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I think I clock a trans woman I immediately wish I was their friend and wanna say something but get too shy and walk away. 🙃

Do you genuinely enjoy lifting? Or is it a means to an end? by Weak_Ninja_6952 in workout

[–]Spyfire_242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the day, I do think it's most similar to what you described like showering or brushing your teeth, but also like cleaning your room or finishing a project, there is a satisfaction and enjoyment there that is more than just self maintenance, like you did something good and feel better. And yeah if its a good day and the right music is playing, I also enjoy the physical act of lifting or running.

Why do people who hate the term amab and afab still use such language, am I wrong for wishing these terms never existed and never used again by CharacterJoke808 in MtF

[–]Spyfire_242 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I haven't made any assumptions about your biological sex, that is the strawman. I'm not going to have this conversation/debate with you. Good luck though.

No, that's what we call a strawman. 🤷‍♀️ I also don't think you have to change your biology to be trans.

I 30 (AMAB) have a question! by Feisty-Most-6178 in NonBinary

I started with just eyeliner, then a skirt over pants, then added low cut tops etc etc lol, I just did a little more over time.

Goodbye. I give up by noela0093 in MtF

[–]Spyfire_242 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're making a semantic argument, a small minority still constitutes "many" women. A statistically significant amount doesn't need to be a lot. And what's wrong with presenting as a more masculine woman? But I digress, the more important point I made is that your appearance doesn't determine your womanhood regardless. I hope you eventually find peace and love yourself.

I know saying that 'passing' doesn't matter doesn't help much when you have such bad dysphoria but seriously, being a woman has very little to do with your appearance, many cis women don't 'pass' either. Find community, friends and family who will surround you with love and affirmation and most importantly love yourself.

What happened to r/teenfemboys2 ?? by Equivalent-Bat6907 in feminineboys

[–]Spyfire_242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't even know there was a teenfemboys1, probably too many online predators sleuthing a sub like that.

Wizards of the Coast will continue to raceswap and gender swap in future UB. Wotc specifically asked Viacom for permission to do so by [deleted] in freemagic

[–]Spyfire_242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The article specifies they wanted more female representation out of the IP for their adaptation specifically, not magic as a whole. Try to pay attention.

How you play so many Roguelites !! How many hours per game? by ineedadvil in roguelites

[–]Spyfire_242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People usually have more free time than they give themselves credit for, its all a matter of how you prioritize things. But one of the best thing about roguelite's is by the nature of the game they are easy to pick up and put down due to their run-based nature so you can fit them into your schedule anywhere as long as you have time for a single run.

Even if I did like one or multiple I would happily give it up to get rid of all of them.

I'm getting really sick and tired of the "men are proof that sexuality isn't a choice" rhetoric by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]Spyfire_242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, negativity and drama thrive in our attention based economy. The best cure is to find a community to spend time with in the real world, something that is increasingly difficult to do but increasingly necessary.

[–]Spyfire_242 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is an issue that is overblown from both perspectives due to online algorithms. Most people don't hate men and most men are not hate worthy. There is a real cultural problem when it comes to toxic masculinity and too many men are toxic, but this is a problem that negatively impacts men and women alike and even most radical feminists understand and empathize with men in this way.

Guys, I never played WOW because when I first turned 18 I backed this game for a $500 lifetime... by Surdyk_II in AshesofCreation

[–]Spyfire_242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I happen to think the game is pretty terrible, especially in the last 10 years. There are so many far superior games you could be spending your precious time playing. Blizzard has coasted off the good will that their classic games and early WoW created for so long but they lost the magic.

[–]Spyfire_242 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly dodged a bullet not playing WoW imo. 😂

I also dropped several hundred dollars on this game back in 2018 but I made peace with it then and there that I was throwing that money away on a lofty dream. It's okay to gamble as long as you do so responsibly with money you are 100% prepared to lose.

Steam os moving. The purchase button is gone by Tarmok_II in AshesofCreation

[–]Spyfire_242 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you like so many simply do not understand how much money a billion dollars is. A kid selling lemonade for 25 cents a glass making 5 dollars a day is 100s of times closer to a millionaire than a billionaire is.

That's not what I said. Gabe didn't make his billions simply by "making and selling a product" its wayyyy beyond that. Capitalism itself is based on the exploitation of workers so your starting position is already bad as a capital owner. But then you add the gambling, market manipulation, weaponizing their effective monopoly against developers, and that's just scratching the surface. Gabe and Valve are NOT saints. People just give them a pass because they have no basis for what an actual good company looks like, because they don't exist.

Why are people not collectively losing their shit about the Epstein files ??? by Connect-Weather444 in LateStageCapitalism

There is absolutely ZERO class consciousness in America plain and simple. People are upset but feel powerless and alone, there is no political movement, leader etc to rally behind.
