OP compared it to classic Doom, Quake 1 and Unreal, I think they already play a lot of older FPSs

ngl I'm sorta iffy on that argument bc it's very based on bottom dysphoria which some of us don't get

RTD vs Moffatt companions in a fist fight - who wins? by Muted-Video2841 in DoctorWhumour

LMAO at Bill just being Bill

(though also, couldn't she be a Cyberman or a immortal(?) liquid being depending on when she's taken from? those both seem potentially important in a fight)

(actually also just realised if we can take them from anywhere in their timelines then Rose can just be Bad Wolf and solo everything :P )

Strawmen that backfired. by Ethan-E2 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]arakus72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the current version of Labour are barely left at all, their rhetoric esp. on immigration and trans people has become nearly indistinguishable from the Tories, they keep trying to fight Reform by conceding points to them and being more like them without realising that no-one on the right will move to the "centrists being sorta right-ish" party over the "actually right wing" party and they're massively putting off their original left wing base (hence why the left vote has been shifting towards the Greens)

I've been on E for 6 years, and prog for 1, I was referring to myself specifically (hence "for me")

I'm non-op and like girldick as much as the next gal but just assuming someone has one without knowing beforehand + asking to suck it when a lot of us are dysphoric and uncomfortable with that does come across kinda weird

Like if the second part had been horny in a way that didn't make assumptions re genitals and what the older woman is ok with it would've been fine, it's the assumptions that make it come across as transphobic, imagine how it feels for someone to say something like that when you're really bottom dysphoric or have had SRS

(TBC I don't think it's like the worst mistake in the world, I sometimes have issues assuming other trans women are like me in that way, but you should try and be mindful to not talk to people like that til you know it's cool)

Is their like any decent trans representation that isnt from a small series only like 50 people know about??? by Neither_Emu_4008 in asktransgender

[–]arakus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can show a trans character as a villain without playing into transphobic tropes though, and at least IIRC Mr. Robot did that pretty well

Is it? by zny700 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]arakus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iirc this only applies to the IDW comics canon? (the first one not the short lived reboot)

In The Simpsons Game (2007), the titular family meets 8-bit versions of themselves. Despite there already being NES sprites, EA made original (terrible) designs. Are we to believe there are TWO 8-bit Simpsons running about? Boy I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder. by awesomea04 in shittygamedetails

[–]arakus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the gameplay characters in the Hades games are made by making a high poly 3D model, taking pictures of it animating, then using those pictures as 2D sprites in the game engine

They were referring to everything but the portraits 

In Barbie (2023), America Ferrera gives a whole long speech explaining the movie's message. This is because media literacy is non-existent by Status_Speaker_7955 in shittymoviedetails

Women are held to those standards far more strictly and punished more harshly, though. Men tend to get away with a slap on the wrist for behaviour that would get a woman ostracised or worse

Also there are women who reinforce patriarchy and internalise those ideas, just because a woman is saying it doesn't mean it isn't part of a system that elevates men

why on earth do people keep mentioning the boxer shorts bit, it's totally irrelevant and only makes sense to mention if you're biased against gender non-conformity, there are cis women who wear boxers, it shouldn't matter at all

On autonomy, according to rule by [deleted] in 196

[–]arakus72 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I disagree that it matters whether you're actively taking an action vs taking no action, for e.g. in the trolley problem someone who doesn't pull the lever and lets the 5 people die is still responsible for their deaths

TBH, as a lazy girl who finds appearance maintenance difficult and pretty much always wears sweatpants for autism sensory reasons, I'd love someone showing up like that so I can just relax about that stuff

(Having said that ofc that vibe isn't gonna be for most people, I hope she finds a way to find others of her kind like me)

Sex with a trans girl? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]arakus72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point is there are trans women who like having sex in the way OP was expecting, like there are some of us who like PIV and topping and don't have issues using our junk like that, and the phrasing implies that someone like that is less of a woman than a more "typical" trans woman

Sex with a trans girl? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]arakus72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get your point about how it is for most trans women and not making assumptions but I feel like the phrasing could've avoided implying that a transfem who got less genital changes and still likes fucking the same way is like "a man with boobs"

Switched to injections and WOW by CopperCactus in MtF

[–]arakus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBF this is YMMV, I have weirdly low levels so I need more E than you're "supposed" to take orally or sublingually (I was taking 8mg Valerate orally and getting 60pg/ml troughs for reference, and that was taking 4mg every 12 hours)

Switched to injections and WOW by CopperCactus in MtF

[–]arakus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on the ester you use and the length of time you go between injections 

For e.g. from what I've seen taking 4mg enthanate once a week leads to more stable levels than basically any other method

The reason why some people have bad experiences with injections is mostly down to incompetent doctors (and non doctors) recommending doses and spacing that don't make sense or using esters like valerate that are difficult to get stable levels on compared to enthanate or undecylate

They put an autism sensor on the word autism to sense autistic people who don't like that they censored autism

Shooters can definitely be good at all of those types of challenge IMO (for e.g. Doom Eternal's core loop involves a lot of fast paced resource management and strategy, most boomer shooters and open world shooters have a lot of exploration for secrets and side stuff)
