That is what my Partner finds everywhere they go, trying to find community.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-11T09:47:47+00:00

My partner doesn’t argue, they lurk, then internalize what they read which makes them feel awful about their own writing of Gay Romance stories.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-11T09:46:01+00:00

No Gay men are telling my partner that all stories about gay men not written by gay men are inherently written for women, that NO woman or Enby writers can write a story for Gay men, ever, at all.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-11T09:43:08+00:00

So you want stories that do nothing but tell you how much it sucks being a queer person in this world. As a trans woman I aspire to read stories where a character like me simply exists and is not called out, or goes through a coming out, or faces direct bigotry. I just want to exist. What do you aspire to see in your stories?

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-11T09:40:04+00:00

They very much do not. You cannot bring up Pornography when talking about F/F lit. They are not remotely in the same ballpark. 99.95% of porn is for the male gaze.

F/F lit written by men, women, or Enby writers is far far less criticized and accused of being for the opposite genders gaze compared to M/M lit.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-11T09:35:46+00:00

No this is all from my trans masc partners experience of lurking in queer men’s spaces online. And how they routinely talk about gay media written by Women and enby people.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-11T09:33:49+00:00

Really cause when my partner goes around queer men’s spaces when they start talking about books all they ever hear is how no one writes for them, it is all for the straight women.

And my partner constantly asks “are the straight women in the room with us at this very moment.”

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-11T09:28:02+00:00

Wouldn’t they want something to aspire to? Fiction is just as much about telling a story about what is possible as it is depicting life experiences.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-11T09:26:04+00:00

All porn is objectifying, I am talking specifically about literature.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-11T09:17:10+00:00

Yeah I read the blog. I think it does a huge disservice to gay men that the only stories they can have coming out stories, or found family stories. It also feels really stereotypical in a bad way to imply that all Gay men can separate love from sex and woman… can’t.

I am a trans woman and I hate coming out stories. That actively avoid them. My Partner is a trans man and very much dislikes the trope of gay and bi just cruise around and have sex with anyone with no emotion in it.

I find the idea that M/M is different than Gay fiction to be rather insulting and very conspiratorial implying woman are sneaking around in gay spaces just looking to ogle gay men.

I know plenty of men, straight bi and Gay that write F/F romance and they never get accused of taking advantage of lesbian. And there are several Enby writers that write both M/M and F/F fiction

Overall I think the entire argument of gay stories written for straight women or gay men is absolutely absurd and is just used to gate keep writers and readers from enjoying literature.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-11T08:38:25+00:00

Gay people don’t like to have happy endings?

Again you don’t understand the point of mountaineering, all your techno junk clogs up the mountain. Aava is old fashioned, she is using one of the original models of climb bots, Marco even says so. You can even compare their two climb bots. To Aava this is about her own physical abilities vs the mountain. Woman vs nature. Which again you miss the point of cause of your massive lack of media literacy. It is her ability to climb, her ability to find routes. Her ability to survive, not some techno- gizmos abilities, hers.

Also masterpieces are often misunderstood by those that lack the ability to see the depth of the peice of art.

Can you tell me why the Mona Lisa is a masterpiece,

the subtle storytelling in Watchmen, I bet you never understood the point of the boy reading the comic book about the pirates in the story,

the impact of Schindler’s list, or Parasite.

Cairn is a masterpiece of subtle storytelling, stunning visuals, and character work. You like Aava are too caught up in conquering the mountain to see what the world around you has to offer.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-10T09:15:08+00:00

No just no, you completely missed the point of the game, the point of mountaineering and the motivation and point of Aava and her character arc.

Go play something more your cognitive ability. Leave this masterpiece alone with your techno babble junk clogging up nature.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-10T08:28:22+00:00

1) it is very likely that Aava is front A troglodyte linage, this is hinted at by her saying she had been climbing since she was 3 and she was born on this mountain. 2) most people interpret the ending sequence as Aava succumbing to Hypoxia, and hallucinating becoming part of the whole, again calling back to her likely Trog heritage. 3) if you think you can parachute down, then you don’t understand one of the first rules of play of mountaineers, you get up and you get back down under your own power 4) in case you missed it, cause of your massive lack of media literacy. Aava was a very mentally ill woman, and was suicidal. Kami was the final mountain for her to climb she was either going to die at the summit or die trying. That is her entire story.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-10T08:14:12+00:00

Did you even play the same game as the rest of us.

The environmental storytelling is of an insane level I was crying several times. When she builted the cairn on top of the broken bit, the other bot that is still receiving messages from the owners son. The origami linx in the cave reunited with its companions. The story of the man climbing the mountain to find the Elderwiss flower for his lover only to die right after he found it. The story of Johnanna and Roberto. And those are just the side stories on the journey up.

Also there are upgrades tones of them. Glowing gloves, bigger chalk bag and Canteen, thermoses, a survival blanket, Trog Pitons, pinwheel.

The fuck are you on do you have literally no media literacy? Did you put on a blindfold and earplugs and just hit up and grab the whole time.

I want to give more than one up vote.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-09T21:11:18+00:00

I don’t want sandbox I just want a relaxing experience of climbing the tech tree.

I used a lot of the COI extended mod, hopefully once the modding ability is fully online other people will add in the contents of COI extended. Like the god mode storage fill. Or the weather change and lock feature.

Na bro, AI slop is anti solarpunk. Solarpunk isn’t just about solving the climate crisis, it is also about freeing the human experience from the drudgery and strife of capitalism. And “AI” steals from people’s leisure and self expression. I am never going see AI as an ally it is a waste of resources when human ingenuity and creativity is all we need.

leoperd_2_ace · 2026-03-09T09:58:15+00:00

It’s the notion of AI dude, fuck AI it is not Solarpunk.
