sleep don't pacify us until
daybreak sky lights up the grid we live in
dizzy when we talk so fast
fields of numbers streamin' past

Potato!! i mean Hello!!
of games, representation, and women's cheekbones
author=kentonaauthor=mawkA rebuttal: http://wondermark.com/c1149/
I think this comic is generally appropriate whenever people start spinning up sensationalist hyperbole about how expecting people to treat others with some basic decency is ~actually fascist censorship~ or whatever.
I don't think I've preached a doctrine of eternal unforgiveness for past ignorance (which would be ridiculous of me to do anyway, considering who I am), but if I had then this would be an excellent rebuttal. also, that's a very cute frog.

Is that like code for the surgery table or something? XD
it would be pretty crass if that was my meaning! I say 'gender mines' to lampoon two things:
first, the way that cis people often deride nonbinary trans people for their gender and pronouns, acting as though they're demanding way too many 'labels' (see: how certain people always bring up otherkin in these discussions when they're not even tangentially related, in order to vent their rancor at 'made-up genders' with a touch of deniability)
second, the very idea that vulnerable groups such as trans people and racial minorities could even approach the level of harm and oppression that's currently visited upon them. even if me and my secret cabal decided that we wanted to deny cis people the basic facts of their existence, make their identity into a mean-spirited joke, make it legal in 49 US states to murder them if the murderer 'panicked', and so on... we hardly have the structural power (and the time) to put that kind of deeply-ingrained prejudice into motion.
the fantasies that people have about 'political correctness' creating a situation where the oppressor is treated just as cruelly as he currently treats the oppressed are just that: fantasies, used to justify weak objections to the tune of 'well isn't asking people not to use your identity as a cruel + dehumanizing insult taking it a little too far'.

sorry, kentona; under my heavily-censored communist regime all cis people will be sent to work in the gender mines

like, I am a simple nonbinary fool; I could think up no greater argument in the favour of basic respect and awareness than the fact that the people who've blown into this thread to oppose it have invariably done so with imaginary nightmare scenarios and screeds including unironic use of the term 'social justice gestapo'.
and just to make sure none of you mistake me here, I'm just about done with the people in this topic throwing around imaginary what-if scenarios to equivocate forms of abuse that are literally killing people. you expect me to take this garbage for page upon page and still pretend that you're arguing in good faith?
'well, what if in the far-off future straight white cis dudes are the oppressed ones? why aren't we talking about that instead?????' disgusting. if the hill that you choose to die on is your 'right' to call people like me a tr*nny without being criticized or asked to stop (because that's censorship), then do it somewhere else. this is nominally a topic about representation, not a stage production of Pagliacci.

Nothing more sad than when you're practically done with P4 but you maxed out all but one S.Link. :*(
iirc P4G is a little bit longer to make up for that? the bonus content for maxing out Marie's social link is super cool, though, and I was really angry at myself for missing it the first time
Marie is really cool in general? I get that some people think she's a little too 'original character', but she has a cool hat and a really cool bit in the ending and that's all I really need
I haven't had the guts to max out Adachi's, though, he's like a Yosuke who's had an extra eight or nine years to feel sorry for himself + turn into a bigger asshole
e: HOLY SHIT YES having a girl-MC option would be wonderful, I hate all the 'well as a protagonist you're dull as dishwater but most female characters swoon over you anyway because we know our demographic' writing that comes with playing a dude in an atlus game

Alright this has been bothering me for the longest time
I remember when I tried to reverse-engineer kaduki sprites and just gave up because of the amount of wasted colour
they're very pretty, but like with a lot of stuff from the VX days there's no real palette to speak of, just a bunch of stuff blended together

I'm happy that they made it possible to do, but the strategy for it almost makes it impossible to take your time and enjoy the weird (and often useless) stuff Inaba has tbh? I can see the appeal for completionists, but I like exploring too much to give that up.
that said, I will never play through Persona 4 without at least maxing out Nanako and Dojima's respective social links
(Yosuke's social link gets ignored because he's trash and I can't believe the game expects me to want to hang out with him)
(except you get gameplay bonuses for it even when he's not in your partyyyyy ugh)

dictionaries describe basic, day-to-day use cases of words, but are virtually useless for understanding whatever more nuanced meanings they might have. going 'but the dictionary says...!' in a sociological discussion is absolutely irrelevant. at best, it demonstrates great ignorance; at worst, contempt for the entire subject.
What are you thinking about right now?
white people and their relative inability to eat spices is a well-documented subject
half my family is east indian and I grew up loaded with pakistani food and while spice has never destroyed my body the way some people experience, my threshold for 'too much' is still shamefully low

sated I'm going to be honest I can't engage seriously with a post where I say 'abolishing feudalism was good' as part of an example and someone inmediately tries to 'OH REALLY' me
especially with such a nonsensical example as WWII, like???? are you saying that World War Two would have been impossible under a feudal system? that the end of feudalism directly led to it? like, it's in incredibly bad taste to use WWII and the Holocaust as a smug 'gotcha' in an argument in general, but the way you've invoked it here is so poorly-done that it's basically a nonsequitur
