    Please stop gatekpeeing something you clearly don’t understand. Being trans can mean losing family and friends and putting yourself in danger by walking in public. it’s not eating a tide pod.

    Sorry, but I’ve seen it used for awhile now and by people that write for sizable outlets. Definitely before whataboutism. And it’s not really deflecting anything, it’s kinda saying this is wrong for the reasons denoted by the term x. It avoids having fun to rehash why the Nazis are bad or Natives aren’t comparable to settlers and why white nationalism is bad, etc.

    Six Ages, the spiritual successor to King of Dragon Pass, is going to release at the end of the month after several years of development. It’s even being developed by most of the original team.

    “Both sidesism” is a saying for those fallacies.

    ...maybe everything is political...especially when we depict war? As much as I think this backlash is outrageous, the want for representation is also political. I’m not trying to be both sidesy, I’m saying that calling something political is just shutting down this conversation without addressing anything like, oh idk, sexism.

    My b on google selling the data to third parties. I do, however, not trust that I can delete my entire history from google analytics. Maybes that’s just being cynical/paranoid though. And the reason that would worry me is something like a government request for info.

    Others have captured the general idea that or privacy should be ours despite companies claiming to use it for “harmless” ads. I really started to tighten up my security when this administration took place because I’m a sometimes/sometimes not protected minority that gets targeted by them. So, there’s some privledge to not having to worry so much about what Facebook might know.

    Having a uniform while still being allowed so much room for personal choice sounds great — like an anime dream. But I don’t think that’s usually considered in the debate of dress code/uniform/nothing

    The way you phrased it, “discovery,” stands out to me. A lot of the possibilities are about ways that we could identify souls but the first question asks when they started existing themselves.
