I don't think candles are necessary for survival.

 

wii remote sensor bar died and candles accomplish the same thing

trans people deserve entertainment as much as anyone else, what life is worth living without the little bits of entertainment we allow ourselves to have to forget about the horrors of the world for just a moment

if you're saying they shouldn't be entitled to a little wii bowling you're basically saying they should curl up and die

User Banned (1 Month): Transphobic Rhetoric

Wouldn't say years but I had it spoiled for me that in The Last of Us Part 2 there was a trans character that had a moment of acceptance and came out. I assumed it was Abby. Played the entire game waiting for her to come out. Turned out it wasn't her.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/misconceptions-you-had-about-specific-games-for-years.1048965/#post-132328752

Why did you assume it was Abby?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/misconceptions-you-had-about-specific-games-for-years.1048965/#post-132329049

Because she was the one new main character they were focusing on.

The same trailer she was introduced in had Lev and Yara.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/misconceptions-you-had-about-specific-games-for-years.1048965/page-2#post-132343389

Huh. I totally thought it was Abby too. I was just about to get started on finally playing this game before the second tv season comes out. Lol.

Remembering the thread where they claimed that most women have a body like Abby

User banned (1 month): Extremely insensitive commentary in a sensitive thread. Account in junior phase.

As someone living in Korea,
Damn I wish I could stay up and watch this but I have work tomorrow so that's simply not happening.
I'm gonna bet this resolved quickly and before the end of the week. This is going to get voted down quickly and then it goes right down to the military commanders to do the right thing. Listen to the will of the people instead of a power tripping President.

There's a coup ongoing in my country and it's already turning violent, but I have work tomorrow so i have to go to bed now like a good little worker bee

Watch them announce Donkey Kong Country 4 at the end of this run.

That already exists and it's being re-released in January.

That was DKC Returns was it not?

I said 4. F-O-U-R. Until there's a big ol 4 on the cover don't @ me.

It's 4.

Can some of you please not go full retard on trans stuff?

It's not like everyone is going to a trans forum and pick apart whatever it's posted there. 

Imagine you were in a cooking forum and you had a bunch of vegans, lactose intolerants, celiac disease weirdos crying and whining about how oppressed they are, how privileged everyone else is.

They make it all about themselves. Are the trans the only ones doing it on ERA? 

No, but their content is by far the best.

I'm more referring to people here calling them "chicks with dicks" or "pretending" in the name of dunking on those morons.

[Averon]

Their hang up about people having an issue of putting rapey, violent mtf trans criminals in women's prisons is exactly why they will always struggle to gain wide spread acceptance. Fair or not, people read that and think mtf criminals are just trying to be put into an environment with easier access to potential victims and people fighting for that as perverts and anti-woman.

[benji]

The terrorists have updated their list of demands

Look, I love animals, but your vet bills are almost as much as your human bills according to this.

If you're nonbinary, you don't adhere to gender norms, so you shouldn't care to which prison you're being sent to, right?
But I guess they expect all nonbinaries to be sent to women's prison, for reasons.

Tell this dumb cunt non binary people exist perfectly well within our country you dumb fucking American twat

plagiarize is a naturalized American, he's originally from the UK and has been talking about moving back even though Joanne is the monarch now.

Oh wow!

Steam will let you play games as Nazis and play games as some racist against Black People


But a HAMAS soldier??? No, No, No, can't have that in our libertarian free market censorship-free store

At this point STEAM as a company are Nazi fuck enablers, put the foot on the gas and on their throats

Yeah I'm gonna be blunt, y'all don't know the full story with this game.

They added in the past year or so, suicide bombing, that Oct 7th attack mission, and hostage beheadings. Aside from that, the game is also full of stolen assets.

Also, their official Discord server has Pepe-Hitler and Happy Merchant emotes.

You think STEAM don't have games with content just as nasty as this on sale right now ?

My point is not the content, STEAM has tons of horrible games like this

But when the target or subject of defamation isn't the right one, now the store can't live up to its free market ideas

valve is completely full of bullshit

The problem with your theory is that Valve hasn't taken the game down. It's even part of the Autumn Sale.

The big three are that, sports, and adolescents. Even sports have some wiggle room. Average people didn’t care a whole lot until it’s a combat sport. Compromising on those three would go a long way. There’s obviously more like the bathroom thing, spas, the sorority. But there’s nuance and arguments and so on. I’m trying to relate from my minority group’s POV. And I can say for certain, I wouldn’t defend a gamer sent to prison for heinous crimes.

For real? Abby isn't MtF? 

I thought they were this whole time. No joke.

[Snoopy]

I thought it was Abby. Although I'd mostly checked out around 8hrs into the thing. Turns out it was somebody called Lev. Who the fuck is Lev? Nobody knows. Nobody currs.

[Besticus Maximus]

Lev is a little bollocks who gets a lot of people killed through mischief and tomfoolery

I've got nothing against trans folks; know a few myself and drank and done blow with them. I just don't appreciate the trans folkx on Ree using the Disney handicap park pass to get in front of the lg and b's.

I know quite a few male-to-female trans people in real life through work/gigs/clubbing/creative arts stuff and literally none of them behave like that terminally online lot on Era. It's bizarre.

I'm more referring to people here calling them "chicks with dicks" or "pretending" in the name of dunking on those morons.

But they ARE pretending to be women. They're biologically male. Nothing they do will make them female. They can call themselves trans women, I don't care, but they don't get to say they're real women and they can't make me agree they're real women.

[DocWager]

If Plagerize is non-binary, and they can’t decide on which prison to take them to, might I suggest Arkham Asylum.

The new era, some post Trump/metoo and many during COVID, aren’t representative of the people I knew of the olden days. At the most basic, there’s more to them than being trans. Like they have an actual personality.

Personally I would never refer to them as chicks with dicks, because they are not chicks.

They are males. 

Maybe they have mental issues, maybe they like to cross dress, or I assume in the case of majority online ones- they are highly impressionable autistic men that saw this as a way out of being salf-hating incels.

Now all they are is self-hating incels with wigs, that look like freak shows. And they advertise their lunacy, I don't seek them.

It's fucking hilarious.

Also how do so many on this forum, know so many? I worked with 1 MTF, and 1 ftm, years ago. Do you all live in Portland or SF or some shit

[Uncle]

I have seen maybe 2, both associated with retail

one was basically chris chan in appearance, balding, like oh honey no, pay for your stuff and get out of there

one looked identical to that US government dress thief and you could tell he was utterly obnoxious even without speaking to him

[Snoopy]

Meanwhile OG Ice Dubs be out there educatin the homies -

Hopefully we take the next step and disable Twitter embeds.

We shouldn't be amplifying a social media platform and owner who is actively spreading white nationalism and trying to dismantle democracies.

Unfortunately, that's not something we have a whole lot of choice in. We can't go into the code and disable it. Sometimes shit isn't as simple as users imagine it to be. So I'm going to ask that you stop derailing threads with this as it's not something that is in our ability to do.

My guy, I've been on the fuck Twitter train for longer than literally anyone has. All the shit you guys are talking about, I've been yelling about for years. The whole "don't attack people for what social media platform they use" was originally meant to protect people leaving Twitter for Threads or whatever. You're talking to the OG here. Ain't nobody been on this train longer than me.

Treating Twitter like we do other banned sources would be a huge amount of work and effort. If we were going to do something with it, it'd have to be a technical solution and it'd have to happen after there was a critical mass leaving. We're not quite there yet and there isn't a technical solution that wouldn't have stupid amounts of blowback on people's ability to discuss shit in general.

Correction: the UK government (possibly temporarily) forced it off the UK storefront. (Canada may join them.)

DigitalOp apparently believes Valve should not comply with the law or they're Nazis.

prior to this recent discussion the phrase "chicks with dicks" has been posted 5 unique times on the bore in total (the rest are quotes of those posts)
