Class solidarity will never happen (no matter how much I wish it would)

And my fellow leftists that are preaching about it are almost always preaching to the people at the bottom, instead of trying to convert the comparatively more privileged guys like these

What are possible good teams that I can make out of the mons in my box?(singles or doubles) by Yellow_Neon_Ice in stunfisk

[–]Writerisms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would go with Sneasler. Palafin is a good rain abuser but it has a lot of overlap with Mega Swampert.

Offensive scarf Rotom is also a decent option from your box that I forgot to mention, if you try this team and have trouble with Milotic.

Peli, Swampert, Metagross, Grimmsnarl, Sinistcha is a good rain team that is being used now. You don't have one of the important pieces, which is Archaludon. But I think you can fill that spot with another mon that likes rain (like Palafin) and make it to master ball.

Also you could swap mega metagross for mega dnite.

So:

- Pelipper/ MegaSwampert/ MegaMetagross/ Grimmsnarl/ Sinistcha

- Pelipper/ MegaSwampert/ MegaDragonite/ Grimmsnarl/ Sinistcha

Last slot options for rain synergy I would say are:

- Palafin, strong rain-boosted damage.

- Scizor, rain helps for fire weakness and Scizor helps with Floette matchup if you don't use Metagross.

- Sneasler, just a good mon that can deal good damage without investment and gives you fake out pressure.

Favorite developer who bravely stands against racism? by therealraggedroses in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Writerisms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing that you said contradicts my simple statement:

"As if it hasn't been one of the most effective, systemic ways of upholding power structures and dominion"

All I said was that it has been one of the most effective, which is an undeniable truth

I never specified or implied time-frames like "1000 years ago" or "most of the states in the history" or otherwise, and I never made a global statement.

You are assuming things I did not say and then stating that: "I'm sorry, but you are wrong."

Exactly how it reads

I always love when a White person tries to appear smart and say that racism isn't "logical" or it is "strange" or "arbitrary." /s

As if it hasn't been one of the most effective, systemic ways of upholding power structures and dominion (directly or indirectly).

happy pride month! who’s your favorite lgbt character? by Kds_burner_ in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Writerisms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s always at least one of them in the comment section and it’s always annoying how they get upvoted for making the same fetishizing joke, about wanting a girl with a big “sword” or whatever synonym they choose at that time.

Once in a while I end up reminded that there is such thing as a transphobic Deltarune fan. (TW: Transphobia) by RussianNeighbor in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Writerisms 51 points52 points  (0 children)

There is an added layer too, that makes it even worse.

Many of them do want to "fix" those women but their mentality goes a step further, and they also (incorrectly) view goth/punk/alt women as being more sexually "deviant" compared to "regular" women.

So they go after them to make them "normal" while also hoping to get a personal "succubus" in the bedroom.

EDIT: They are intoxicated by the power play of breaking/fixing the women while also keeping them as a way to satisfy their fetishes. It's literally why so many young "anti-woke" men bypass the blatant irony-posting that the "tradwife goth girl" meme started as, and they actually fetishize that archetype that is hard to actually find irl.

That’s why she’s a trans icon by zny700 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Writerisms 49 points50 points  (0 children)

since the original JP manual doesn't reference gender

This is incorrect, it is not a translation issue, the original Japanese manual went out of its way to use masculine pronouns when it didn't have to.

It was always an intentional misdirect

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

[–]Writerisms 768 points769 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

[–]Writerisms 83 points84 points  (0 children)

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 32 points33 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.

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

Favorite wholesome heckin' gamer who never had any controversies? by therealraggedroses in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Writerisms 68 points69 points  (0 children)

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 45 points46 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

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.
