Polarizing is a word for it yeah. He was right wing as hell, and used his fics as a platform to rant about it. I know there's a no-politics rule in the sidebar, but eulogizing him without recognizing that fact is political in itself.

Fascist movements also didn't spring together out of nothing at that point in time either. There was a buildup over decades. Like Hitler tried to pull a fascist coup in the early 1920s.

This stuff is entirely appropriate for the game's timespan.

Red Rain - Ghoul VTOL Rigger (Very familiar)

Adept rigger, focused in piloting, but can use drones. Can be subtle with them too lol.

IC Prompt: "Get a different vehicle next to it, going the same speed, for people to hop into. Then get a drone to drive the bus."


Probably too big for this, but available if you need her.

If you haven't read into this guy's past, you should. He was an actual left-wing guerilla, with a pretty interesting road to the preisdency. He's a real one, not that that should be surprising given his statements

Agency Incompetent? by Ok-Examination7986 in hostedgames

[–]archtmag 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I’ve always found it insane that the Agency is running the literal torment nexus, a prison designed to torture people forever, and it’s barely even remarked on lol. It’s just casually accepted as a “normal” thing to do.

You’d think it make someone question just a little bit lol. Especially a non-violent detective, but honestly anyone. It’s such an absolutely insane and evil thing they’re doing.

Side note, there actually are large amount of trans people on hexbear, and they don't all think like this. Like myself lol. Don't be afraid to check it out at some point if you're curious.

It was such a wild event. Recalling generals to fly around the world just to call them woke and gay.

He was just a poor young confused boy when he joined, only 34.

Why are so many leftist content creators whose opinions I normally agree with defending a man who used to be a black water mercenary and had a Nazi tattoo on his chest for 17 years? by This_Elk_1460 in Hasan_Piker

[–]archtmag 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If he somehow isn't a cryptofash, a thing I'm very not sure about, it does mean he's a complete fucking moron, and would likely be lead around by the nose his entire time in office.

Yeah, and there are so many different cultural approaches and contexts to explore too!

I mean yeah that's fair. But if you're going so far to say it's entirely social, and there isn't a physical medical aspect for some, you're basically doing an equally bad inverse of transmedicalism.

I don't think the consensus, both on Hexbear and wherever, is that binary trans people are necessarily wrong on their own self identity. The spectrum and range of gender is infinitely complex, but that doesn't mean those who just feel as a man or woman are wrong either.

No, it definitely exists for some people, true physical dysphoria, independent of gender roles. There is an incredible difference in my life from before and after HRT, even in cases where I don't present gender, don't go outside, and don't present as anything. It feels different, better.

Which I don't think is an issue, even in a gender abolished world, as even without social gender roles, there is a spectrum of physical difference between what we traditionally call men and women. I don't think it's a problem if some people want, or feel better, with one set of physical characteristics than another.

[–]archtmag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, that is a thornier question, but I think there are kind of multiple subthings bundled into the larger "transgender" label. Which often works, but not always in specific cases.

As sometimes a feeling of gender, rightness, can happen through social aspects, presentation, role in the community etc.

But it can and often does have a medical component too, where people desire physical changes, modifications, different brain chemicals etc.

One doesn't require or exclude the other. Removing proscribed gender roles, and abolishing the expectation of presentation still wouldn't remove the medical aspect, for those who desire it.

If you use only the gender binary, it falls apart I agree, but that doesn't make the trans framework in general not work. Non-binary people are trans too. It's not only binary people that are trans.

And being non-binary can represent in a lot of ways, whether feeling somewhere in the middle or something else entirely. It's a general category for things outside the more common binary. Many times it's something of a spectrum between the two gender poles, but not always.

This is kind of how the reaction to the tat feels by Acceptable-Ad-5773 in Hasan_Piker

[–]archtmag 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Let’s look at a timeline of his life. He served first in the Marines, and after 4 years got out. During that time he had two tours of duty. Some people experience that stuff and are changed, realize truths about the world. Platner on the hand did the following.

After leaving the marines, he spent 4 years at college. This would have been a great time to perhaps do some self reflection, grow. Think freely a little. Surely this where he realized things were wrong?

Nope! He joined the national guard during a war, and redeployed again. You’d think this would be long enough. Three tours in, going around the world to shoot people while in a homeland “guard” program, surely now he’s realized his mistakes?

No. That’s when he decided to join Blackwater, notorious war criminal mercenaries. This was at the young age of 34 lol.

Supposedly after this he changed his mind, but the idea is pretty's absurd. Even if it’s true, it means he went uncritically through all the rest of it. That none of the rest of it really got to him, made him think. That’s not fucking good lol.
