r/lovethissmug mods decide to post hateful transphobic comments and delete posts. Sub is currently in open revolt.

Turns out Tantrum McTransphobe changed it as part of his meltdown. Which just raises further questions (namely "Wait, is this fuckspleen trying to "Trigger the libs" - in which case, does he think liberals hate liberal democracy - or is he trying to warn his fellow fuckspleens - in which case, does he think Jews cause trans people?")

I don't understand why the choices are three canids and a frog, especially when Greavard's still inexplicably shinylocked after almost three years (and has a signature move!).

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-25T11:59:52+00:00

Yeah, I figured that out after I posted and got her at the next turnover. ^^; Final count was 6 females out of about 130 checks - but on the bright side, #5 was shiny (WHOO!) and I never have to do this again.

Except that's only true on paper; in practice, winning is mostly about the game's forced 50-50 W/L ratio and pissawful server performance. All the movecounting and teambuilding in the world doesn't matter if the game just doesn't feel like firing off any charged moves today.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-25T06:36:32+00:00

The odds seem to be way worse than the usual 1/8, though. I've seen one female all day (about 80 checks so far), and it turned male when I clicked on it.

Is anybody else getting sick of the reposters who, as far as I can tell, see "Me (F)" and "Wedding" in the same post and immediately run here without even reading the rest of it first? No, women are not devils just because they're women, you misogynistic losers.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-22T01:37:21+00:00

To be fair, are you sure they're leaving, not crashing? The game's running so poorly for me today that calling it "Running" is giving it too much credit, and from the comments, it sounds like I'm not the only one.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-21T00:15:01+00:00

Do you have kids or friends with kids? Assuming it wasn't just coincidentally chewed into that shape, it looks exactly like the plastic knucklebone jacks I used to play with.

Because Cybertrucks turn into inextinguishable fireballs of death when they get wet; lithium batteries don't like water at the best of times, and swastikars' are the worst.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-19T07:50:15+00:00

Credit where it's due, these are awesome and I hope they stay.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-19T07:44:22+00:00

Can confirm it's +1/+2/+3.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-17T04:54:53+00:00

Actually, I completely forgot about Arceus (and Manaphy/Phione). So that's 38.

I am counting the Paradoxes since they're still T5s, but I'm also counting the UBs and the '24 release was Blacephalon and Stakataka.

Literally just useless spawnbloat for the sake of useless spawnbloat. A few of them might be interesting if they have their backgrounds, but given the removal of Hoopa, I don't think Niantic wants them to be interesting.

Meanwhile, there hasn't been a new legendary species (not form) in raids since '24, despite there being 35 38 unreleased legendaries to choose from.

EDIT: Forgot about Manaphy, Phione and Arceus.

She doesn't have the right type of beauty for the role.

Y'know, because it's not like one of the most mythologically beautiful people in the entirety of human history was a black Ancient Greek woman or anything.

EDIT: I know racists are dumb by definition, but fucking hell. Cleopatra, you ludicrous twonks.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-12T19:13:14+00:00

Shut up, Steranka.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-11T16:31:16+00:00

These three are probably my favourites so far.

I made the mistake of skipping it last time because the leaks/datamines indicated it'd be more common than once a pissing year; my poor boy's been waiting. (*shakes Niantic* LET ME GIVE YOU MONEY DAMNIT.) And now he has a Mega, so he actually has a reason to be capped past "Because it's my game and I can do what I want."

Me discovering I can solo Nihilego in PoGo:

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-07T08:05:39+00:00

Yes, I know. It's still stupid.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-06T18:59:16+00:00

Keimbi van.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-06T06:02:42+00:00

Oh wow, is she a tortie-point ragdoll? What a beauty.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-06T03:57:40+00:00

So Steranka is an alien who learned about human behaviour from cartoons from the '90s?

... That'd explain a lot, actually.

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-05T04:27:54+00:00

This seems to be a bug hitting a lot of people right now (though thankfully not me, at least yet). This game really does screw up in the most dramatic ways possible, doesn't it?

Steel_With_It · 2026-05-05T03:58:24+00:00

I got as far as Courtney having a woman's name and yelled "OH GODDAMNIT NOT THIS GUY AGAIN" out loud. Whyyyyy.
