i've definitely talked about loran but i guess i somehow never mentioned guin! guin's treatment of loran is so important to my read of her as trans, because he's such a chaser it makes loran read as more trans because of how hard he's chasing

i gotta hop on dear brother, i was already planning on it but this video convinced me i'll like it WAY more than rose of versailles (which i already liked!)

also turn a gundam fucking rules and i'm glad they agree that guin is 100% a chaser

i have not played omori but i'm GUESSING based on vibes that it's like a 1 or a 2? extremely not scary scary, there's one scene that's imo mildly scary but other than that there's basically nothing i would describe as scary in the way a scary movie is scary

i really think you'd be ok

he's great in this one too

it's a horror movie in that it's about horrifying situations, but it isn't really scary at any point beyond an existential dread. mostly just deeply sad and distressing but never in a way that has any adrenaline involved. it's fantastic, instantly an all time fave ::: spoiler vague spoiler the movie is about being closeted and how miserable it is to repress who you are :::

i'm guessing/hoping that he'll at least be on probation in november, but it's possible that he'll manage to pay that off

he can't vote for himself because he lives in florida lmao

he won't face consequences but i'm still cheering. there's a non-zero chance some very funny stuff comes out of this,

she's trying her best

props to him for just saying straight up "i'm not voting for biden he's complicit in genocide"

really makes everyone else who isn't even making a statement look like cowards when fucking macklemore does an entire song dedicated to palestine and just saying the damn thing

his one big album also had a (cringey straight guy trying to be a good ally) song where he talked about how he was super pro-gay rights, so i assumed he was a lib but i never thought he was a chud

I remember doing the math like, "Yeah, I'm good at little league."
A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
For those that like the same sex had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion

Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition
Playing God, aw nah, here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know
"God loves all his children" is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five hundred years ago
I don't know

If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily
We've become so numb to what we're sayin'

Our culture founded from oppression
Yet, we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other removeds behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
"Gay" is synonymous with the lesser

not exactly the first brick at stonewall but for a cishet dude in 2011 it's pretty good

frankly budd dwyering himself may be the only way out at this point, especially if there's more on the way

i'll give him this, it would definitely be fascinating

not even that, it's about whether there will be someone in power saying "you know it's impolite to drive so fast" without any other difference

classics of anime

shirou emiya (pictured here) very famously does not die when killed on several occasions

i think the tweet is a joke but you're 100% right

that's totally fair lmao, she was kinda annoying

she's cool and has good opinions. ai art isn't ontologically evil, and the genie will not go back in the bottle. also don't soft misgender her please!

a) i obviously didn't think that, it was very clear you were complaining about them being horny. i was saying that being dominated by male characters is at LEAST as important when discussing whether something is misogynistic or not as how horny it is. i am aware that they are horny, i mentioned the designs as shorthand for that. also when going "it's more than just the character designs!" you said "have you looked at baiken???" which is an example of... character design. but allow me to rephrase: there is more to misogyny than being horny
b) "Even her fucking character portrait is a mild upskirt."

this is in contrast to what i was discussing in point c, which was the most important point. she USED to be exactly as objectified as you said, with her existing solely so the game could be horny about her and set up transmisogynistic punchlines.

fuck off with that

a) no fucking way fighters are that high in misogyny. at the very least they consistently let you play as women, which has to put them a fair way up there. there is more to misogyny than having horny character designs
b) bridget isn't objectified? camera doesn't ogle her, she's given a story where she self actualizes and is given internality that is reflected in her character design, design isn't even horny, especially by the standards of the franchise
c) i was specifically referring to an instance where a japanese dev went back and fixed an extant shitty tropey objectifying horny bullshit character (incredibly sexualized in her og design, being 14, plus all the transphobic jokes and inherent transphobia to the bit) by giving her internality as a character and making the gender stuff not just the trap narrative and instead allowing her to grapple with identity, as well as making her both way less sexualized AND an adult woman. please do not look at this and go "this isn't an improvement"
