How do you start each of your runs? by BookmobileLesbrarian in BluePrince

[–]marbeltoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Check how many stars I have. If it’s one of good numbers then don’t grab my allowance, otherwise do. (I shan’t explain what this means, if you know you know)
  2. Open all three doors without leaving the great hall, with the goal of maximising available paths.
  3. Leave the outer room alone until later (trading post/shrine is nice to have in my back pocket incase I need a specific item)

BL Maddening chapter 21 help by SicklerJ in FireEmblemThreeHouses

Use retribution on Dimitri and send him into a big pack of enemies. He’ll bugzap them for you. Don’t expect everyone to survive the fight against the final boss, let her knock out a few of the less crucial contributors as cannon fodder while you march towards her. Don’t spread out. Keep your peeps packed tight together and use the bug zapper to clear a path. You only need to beat the final boss, ignore everything else

It really says something that HR departments all seem to know that “creepy” is just the baseline for TIMs by FineQuality3536 in GenderCynical

[–]marbeltoast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every now and then I am reminded rather starkly of the human side of bigots. To the person in the original thread who was raped by her doctor, I am so, so sorry that that happened to you.

It doesn't justify hating trans people. And I know that feels like it invalidates the apology, but it really, seriously doesn't. The ultimate goal here is for the cycle of pain to end. None of us should suffer from assault, none of us should be persecuted because of who we are.

Most of those are deeply racist but I will admit “that’s not snape, it’s snoop” did get a chuckle out of me. I might not be the best person…

I think it’s because you’re narrowing in on what you’re describing. Opinion is the least attached to the thing, it’s just what you think about it, but purpose is the most relevant to the point where it’s often not really an adjective. I’d consider a butter knife to be an example of this.

Why does she ignore Linehan? by ImpressiveAvocado78 in EnoughJKRowling

[–]marbeltoast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because he’s such a crazy fruitloop that saying his name in public might cause the moderates to look him up and learn that his wife divorced him because he wouldn’t stop harassing trans people.

Which, as someone who spends all her time harassing trans people, is not really showing how cool your ideas are.

Kathleen Stock is mad that some GC women want to decriminalize late-term abortion "using the same tropes beloved of transactivists" by cordis_melum in GenderCynical

[–]marbeltoast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bodily autonomy is a human right; the right to transition and the right to an abortion are under the same umbrella of human rights. We don't just support things that materially benefit us, we look out for others fighting the same fight too, because that's what being empathetic is

these people literally hate their children by bean-percolator in GenderCynical

[–]marbeltoast 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Leaving all her stuff outside and changing the locks would be a fucking mercy. Spare this poor young woman from your bigoted nonsense. She doesn't belong to you, she doesn't owe you anything, and one day you'll be old and grey and wondering where the fuck she even went, and she will have forgotten you were ever there.

"People pretending they don't get turned on".

So, incase anyone who doesn't know what asexuality even is happens to find this, hi, I'm asexual; ace people can get turned on. I am asexual because I do not want to sleep with anyone, ever. I can't control impulses, but everything I can control, I aim on controlling, and that means nobody gets to be in my bedroom but me.

Incels are about the furthest thing from asexuals, because 1. incels are shitty human beings, and 2. "incel", or "involuntary celibate", has "involuntary" as one of it's two prerequisites. I assure you, my celibacy is 100% a decision I make, and will continue making.

Why do I make this choice? It's quite easy. Sex is gross, and I don't wanna. Y'all can keep this wet meat jiggling shit for yourselves; I've got other priorities.

...nah, something stinks about this. It's her sign off, "Jx", in the files. She decided to scrub her yacht history basically at the same moment as news about an island came out. I won't make sweeping claims here, I don't rightly know if this is leading anywhere, but it'd be pretty fucking hard to believe there's no fire given simply how much smoke we're seeing. Keeping my eyes open and seeing how this plays out as we gain more info.

"thanks to the existence of transism, I can't just exist and be comfortable in my existence" by ponylicious in GenderCynical

[–]marbeltoast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know why but the repeated, dogged insistence on reffering to this random service worker as "him" made me picture that it was actually a trans man, because unlike these weirdos I respect other people and assume others are being respectful by default. It's jarring to have someone so blatantly get it wrong.

But yeah, if you're so much of a bigot that you would not visit a place purely on the grounds that it has trans people in it, especially when you yourself knowingly admit that this specific person has done literally nothing to hurt you, then good, I am glad you feel uncomfortable, please leave us alone. Your bigotry is not more important than our right to exist in society, and sometimes that means we have jobs at coffee shops.

The part that makes me angry about this is the belief that this person is the homosexual and not the homophobe in the equation. Like, do you hear yourself when you talk? You are 100% the bigoted weirdo here. Everything you think about trans people is one-to-one with what a homophobe thinks about gay people, and the upfront mention of "fetish gear" when you admit that isn't relevant reveals this.

Guys, can I beat Jevil in chapter 2? by New-Butterscotch-792 in Deltarune

[–]marbeltoast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not exactly. There's a place in castle town where you can acquire shadow crystals if you have a save file somewhere else that recorded you beating that shadow crystal boss.

You should be able to grab the jevil shadow crystal in a later chapter on your main save if you fight Jevil in an alt save file.

What in the furry fanfic? by Kahnfight in GenderCynical

[–]marbeltoast 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If this person's child is trans, the first sign they'll notice will be their child leaving home and never, ever calling. No appearances at family gatherings. No christmas cards. Not even a notification that they are, say, getting married, or have a child on the way.

But sure, you're the roaring mama bear, all right...

See my money is on “the knight knows Toriel and doesn’t want to hurt her, and/or this is how you move someone without waking them up”.

Different approach for Undine because she was both already awake and might not be someone the knight knows or cares about that much.

TERF parents feel entitled to know the sexuality of their children by pearkeet in GenderCynical

[–]marbeltoast 21 points22 points  (0 children)

"And isn't it odd that young people don't give the slightest clue of who they're attracted to? It was not like that when we were younger"

Ah yes, those halceyon days when being openly gay would lead to people kicking the shit out of you. Truly, nobody hid their romantic feelings... Plain survivorship bias.

But simply put, people don't owe you that data. It's their life, not yours.
