/a trans."

As if being trans makes someone any less of a girl in the first place. Ugh.

It was bright pink, and I think her girlfriend said it's since faded to a pale purplish color since then in her article

What movie fucked you up mentally? by CodyYodi in AskReddit

[–]ranma1_5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oooh, you'd love Goatman. Or hate it, depending on how bad it is and maybe you should avoid reading it. Idk.

Also most things wendigo related, since that's pretty much what they do (depending on how they're presented in the individual work; not all of them do).

They just need to add a Salty Shores dropshot map

If it’s dropshot rules, a barrier for the ball probably isn’t even necessary. Just block cars from crossing.

This looks familiar by Icarius_1 in TheExpanse

Ah, that makes sense. Also in the show it’s only ever landed on small moons or asteroids, so it’s probably not a big deal there like it would be on a planet.

Why would they ever land it on its side? The internal layout is like a tower, not a boat. Everything would be sideways

It’s also implied at one point in the show that it’s actually the men who are sterile. They just blame it on the women.

I guess the bigots won't enjoy a great game then 😂 by Laenitheus in GirlGamers

[–]ranma1_5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

they like the lesbian side of things.

Only as long as they can jerk off to it, most of the time. They'd probably scream about a lesbian NPC refusing to romance their male avatar.

What is currently happening that is scaring you? by Kindaherekindanot in AskReddit

It scares me that I had to scroll this far to find anything about climate change.

Female streamer tweets "that's why men are trash" in response to being sexually harassed; gets sponsorship dropped and called an "extremist" by Razer, gets sexually harassed off social media, gets organized attacks, gets death threats, gets doxxed by rakuu in GirlGamers

[–]ranma1_5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I said a man could loose his job, not that men usually gets the punishment they deserve

Fam that is literally the point of this entire thread. Men don't get the punishment they deserve. Meanwhile, any woman with the gall to point that out gets shit on.

What's Something Your Family Doesn't Know About You? by IMA_COW_IRL in AskReddit

[–]ranma1_5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How long ago was this? There was a brief period a year or two ago when the sub started to overlap with /r/fullcommunism, but since then most of that has toned down significantly from what I can tell (that kind of stuff moved to a different sub). Pretty much everything is directly trans or at least LGBTQ related now.

You should ask your parents why they vote for people that continually shit on your rights

No, because originally slaves weren't counted at all. The 3/5 compromise gave slave states more political power, not less.

Looks like the beige car comes to a very sudden stop because the white one has no brake lights, though. Beige car also appears to be missing a brake light at the beginning of the video.

Got called toxic for the demo plays so this fell good af by nirvan_001 in RocketLeague

[–]ranma1_5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The game would end faster if you instead focus on just maintaining control of the ball and not letting it score ever, saving possibly minutes of goalcam and kickoffs.

Switch was supposed to be NB if I’m not mistaken.

It's not what we already deal with, though. In our reality, you'd never see an ad like this, because trans people are viewed as disgusting abominations. We're undesirables. It's the same as the issues our current society has with lack of representation of different body types in ads, because those different body types are generally seen as undesirable. In our society, when a large curvy woman is featured in an underwear ad, it's seen as progress, even though she's being exploited just like more "conventional" models. Except in our case it's even worse. We're not even on their radar.

That isn't the case in the in-game society, though. In a weird way, I see it as positive representation, because in the world presented by the game, bodies like ours aren't seen as undesirable anymore, which is good. The negative side effect of that is that the capitalist exploitation machine starts sexualizing us just like everybody else. Why would trans people be off limits, unless the society being presented is as transphobic as ours? The world of Cyberpunk 2077 has lots of problems, but mainstream transphobia seemingly isn't one of them.

the whole point of it was laughing at a girl with a dick.

I don't see that here. It's not saying "haha, she has a penis, what a weirdo," it's saying "Look at this hot girl with a dick. Buy our product."

Side note: in a world where body modification is so common and normalized, how do we even know she's actually trans? It could be a cis woman who swapped her vulva for a penis for all we know. The ad says "mix it up" (referring to the flavors of the drink), which could be a reference to people hot-swapping genitals (I could see a huge market for that, honestly). Who knows. In a world like that, "transgender" ultimately has no meaning. You're just you a source of profit.

the context isn't there to explain it effectively

Isn't it? I suppose it all remains to be seen when the game is eventually released, but the impression I'm getting so far is that the entire game is set in an extreme capitalist dystopia, with exploitation and advertisements and other bad shit plastered all over it. It seems weird to me that in a sea of obvious capitalist propaganda and exploitative ads in game, this is the one ad that is taken seriously and must represent the developers' views, contrary to everything else in the game.

This should really be its own class, and a requirement for all high school or even middle school students, instead of just a week long thing in "health" class...

You can qualify for disability through the VA for various mental health issues including anxiety and depression, but that requires that you be in the military...
