Honestly one of the problems I've been having on here is people arguing over gender and sexuality happens and it becomes such a text wall I don't even want to give my input as an actual transgirl. It's stupid.

I'm glad we have the threads, but (for me anyway) they can get to a point where they're just too much to handle. I dunno what I could really add anyway that someone else hasn't already said.

But it's nice to have another viewpoint? It might be something that someone reads and it helps them, even if they don't post in response. Anyway, of course you just gotta do what's best for you, too :)

Those threads are the pointless babble of this site so don't worry about it or bother :)

Well, I can say I know the feeling, and whats worse, someone whom I had to cut out of my life for "safety reasons" decides to show up and pretty much demonstrate why I had to cut said person out of my life. Then you got other people who make you feel like you cant get a word in. All of that going on here, RMN. Yeah. As always though, I'm around if you wanna talk.
as one of the frequent text wallers: sorry

as general browser of rmn: i hope you don't feel pressured or obligated to participate in threads that mentions certain topics just b/c of who you are! if you wanna use rmn purely for gam mak and not sneeze at anyone bringing up certain things, that is a-okay and your business

It's been locked now, so until the next one turns up, you can relax a little. Well as relaxed as you can be with all the games you've got on the go, that is.
I'm also a wall poster, though unapologeticly, I'm afraid. If I don't clarify people make assumptions that I'm a Hitler lover or something like that. >.<

Sorry it makes posting a hassle, though.
I stay away from those topics as much as I can, because I know my personal biases rather well.

It's not that hard to turn a blind eye, you know :)
unless if they're literally calling you out. then, it's time to give 'em a whack in the head.

i only posted to make fun of max mcgee

people like to hear themselves talk anyway. i avoided it until the very end because it was very much OPINIONS ARE HAPPENING and while I purposefully didn't read 20+ pages of the topic (pretty much just read the beginning and end), i didn't really ever see, like, anything constructive happening. i dunno if you missed much.

Yeah, I agree with Craze. There's always a lot of yelling but rarely does anything constructive happen. Personally, the drama and unfortunate attitudes some people display are enough to make me depressed and a little bit upset, so I had forbidden myself from looking at the topic anyway. I'm glad to see it's gotten locked.

It would be nice to have a safe space to talk about subjects like this without it devolving into pointless shouting matches, but I guess that's just not possible right now. -_-

You can probably find a better place if it's not on an amateur game development forum, unity

I can't accept that line of reasoning.

You can only write what you know. If you don't know, then learn. Writing in depth about a subject requires more than a little research, and discussions with people at the heart of these issues are invaluable.

This is definitely true though, and is pretty much the biggest reason why the thread bombed from what I saw. I stopped lurking about 20 pages in, so I'm not sure where things went from there. Given that the thread was locked, I guess I bailed at a good time.

They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

Yeah, I figured out a while back that trying to cover every base doesn't work, so I try to stick to like two paragraphs at most. And just skim textwalls sometimes, because usually there's not much to merit the effort.

The former I agree is too dismissive; the latter is just common sense. If you want to get into more than the 101 "hey maybe let's not treat transpeople like trash and possibly let a few be main characters," you need to track down some less mainstream spaces. (Just like how you're probably not going to find a lot of helpful RPGMaker programming tips on a site dedicated to makeup.)

That's fine. I for one don't take my one-sided and entrenched opinions on a game developers forum for more than one sentence.

To each their own, I guess.
