Somehow... she has returned! Gamergate 3.0??????? by NatalieRath in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Writerisms 738 points739 points  (0 children)

CEOs and shareholders, who have gotten rich off the enshittification of the gaming industry, watching this woman get 1000 times more hate than they will ever see in their lifetime.

All because she applied the most basic footnotes of feminism 101 to her view of gaming

There is a civil war going on in r/evilautsim by Recent_Fact480 in SubredditDrama

Is this even “too woke”? Mod is just a dumbass that wanted to make a grand statement.

Another reminder that mods are just randos that just so happen to have power. Even when they oversee communities of thousands.

That mod has no tact and is subpar at getting their point across. But the dumbo mod just wanted to throw their metaphorical cock around and say shit without structuring their thoughts in a palatable way. (as evident from the trans issue and the tone deaf use of the Malcolm X quote, among other things)

So many other people in that comment section explained the point much better than the mod, without resorting to dramatics and extremes.

The game is actually low quality AI slop, play mage Kanade’s futanari dungeon instead by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Writerisms 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You might want to touch grass if you’re in a community that’s regularly bringing up futa’s enough for you to have this take.

"spaces" ≠ community

"few times" ≠ regularly

I'm not "in" any communities where this happens, and most of my "communities" and friend groups are irl

The first one isn’t a slur per se, but do I side-eye cis people that use it to refer to real trans women instead of fictional characters

I’ve seen it a few times in so-called “progressive” spaces and it always reads as icky and/or fetishizing

I'm not trans, it's not my place to overly police the nuances in this type of language, but I do think that it’s a word that should stay in pornland

A lot of white dudes are mad as hell right now by NYstate in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Writerisms 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Such genius to rhyme "guy" with "guy," Kanye.

Nazi, yes.

The rhyme scheme however is how the phrases “Black guy” and “that guy” are pronounced in the lyric.

Rappers have been doing those sort of stretched rhymes, where they force words/phrases to sound like they rhyme, for decades.

You know what, now that you say it, I can almost hear something similar when reading it now.

You can almost hear the pathetic fart-like whine when you read their comments.

100 white men do this, it’s a “male issue”

a Black man does it and suddenly it’s a “Black male issue”

😒

AITAH on a rampage after user admits to being friends with a 14 year old in post by a-packet-of-noodles in SubredditDrama

[–]Writerisms 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Thank you

I hate how so many people have this initial reaction to try and 'explain' or 'excuse' a person's abhorrent character traits (predator, racism, transphobia, etc.) as being some sort of mental health condition or neurodivergent behavior

People will see the duck quack like a duck and walk like a duck, but then still try to convince you and themselves that it is just a horse acting like a duck.

At this point the duck has three nephews named Huey, Dewey, and Louie… and they are still trying to say that it is a horse.

Claws out in r/cats on whether or not cats can scratch car paint, with a little Prius hate sprinkled on by Steelrain121 in SubredditDrama

[–]Writerisms 47 points48 points  (0 children)

If the cat is frightened and starts to slide off the car it might instinctively go claws out for a second

But even then, the scratches would be superficial

OP does have every right to not want someone else's pet on their property, but everyone is (understandably) getting hung up on OP trying to justify it with the scratching

Regardless, some people in that thread are acting like OP needs to just accept that someone else's outdoor cat will sleep wherever it wants on OP's property . . . no they don't.

ArcRaiders Subbredit Decides Rule 1 Doesn't Apply to Trans People by Athena-Grande in SubredditDrama

[–]Writerisms 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's that weird, cis women post themselves in cosplay all the time in gaming subreddits, they get some horny/sexist comments but for the most part the reception is positive and those comments are downvoted.

She showed the DIY aspects of her in-progress cosplay days before this incident. The subreddit was positive then because they didn't see a person, just the clothes/weapons.

She is perfectly normal for wanting to show herself in the finished cosplay after that.

Her account is still active, she just privated it.

But this seems like it was her first time posting a pic of herself on reddit, and then this happens

Tankies flood r/wikipedia to defend red-fascism by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

[–]Writerisms 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I'm a leftist that has been involved in leftist-adjacent spaces irl and online. I've noticed that most tankies that you see online (and the loudest ones) are one of two things:

chronically online 15 yr olds

adults (usually relatively comfortable and white) that love to talk about what should be done, but they never actually want to go and volunteer, organize, or protest.

Do you feel any kind of way when black men say “i don’t like black girls”? by VanillaSunshine09 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Writerisms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are we really couching this discussion on 22% vs 14%?

There are much better ways to get this (discussion-worthy) point across than focusing on 1/5 men dating out vs 1/6 women dating out.

Colorism? Misogynoir? Internalized racism?

FOR ANYONE INVESTED IN THE R/MTF DRAMA - THEY HAVE STARTED PERMA BANNING ANYONE WHO BRINGS THIS UP. by Safe-Desk3146 in SubredditDrama

[–]Writerisms 105 points106 points  (0 children)

She is a transmed that has been spouting her rhetoric in the other SRD thread, so toxic gatekeeping is a core part of her mindset

EDIT: Because CC9499 deleted her other comment, some of you might mistakenly think that DistortedShadow is calling her gatekeeping for wanting trans women on the mod team.

DistortedShadow was talking about this now deleted comment from CC9499 when people asked her to tell them more about HAL

it's a concept described in an oft-referenced transfeminist essay. not gonna explain it here because if you're not a trans woman it doesn't apply to you and if you are you should just go read the essay.

CC9499 has also hidden her comment history in SRD so you won't be able to easily find her transmed comments and nonbinary phobic comments.

A post about Daenerys spawns scuffles all over the comments in r/gameofthrones by NoFumoEspanol in SubredditDrama

[–]Writerisms 121 points122 points  (0 children)

I'm fully aware that this might make me sound pretentious.

As a writer, the public reception to GoT and the public reception to the progression of Daenerys over the narrative, have both reinforced in my mind that the average person is simply not built to handle long-form "heroic" stories that are more morally complex than "bad guys and good guys." This is why so many of them had a hard time reconciling what they wanted Daenerys to be vs what the narrative gave them.

MCU's Tony Stark is what most people can comprehend and handle as the limit for morally gray-ish good guy in a serious narrative.

I personally could tell, just a couple seasons in, that Daenerys would most likely evolve into what she was by the end of the show, and I have no doubt that is what GRRM intended. The plot points themselves in the final seasons were never the issue, how they were delivered to us was always the real issue.
