In the deep centre of my being resides the very core that is fundamentally not a subject of neoliberalism but instead survives it, and that core is where dreams come from, and from where the tentacles of hope and self realization are born. And in this urban life, the exercise is to build roads outward from that truth of myself into the world. That gave me the strength to define my future when i most needed to and the strength to see the material world in front of me with clear eyes.

Julia Crawford might be the gayest poster on the whole forum.

What a dumb past 48hrs. Already connected with people I know in the US via other means bc of the ban so not that much more effort to leave. Isn't like Xiaohongshu hasn't taken over my time anyway.

Curious what they'll do long-term though, isn't it still gone from the app stores in the US?

Social media controls this man’s mind

This is…just amazing.

“Oh I already found alternatives.”

[kaleidoscopium]

my guy's wearing openly Nazi band shirts, so no. Fuck him, fuck the studio, fuck KCD. He has been courting them right until they turned on him. He has _always_ defended his idiot gamergate views and didn't stop to think about it for a second, as long as the chuds were his posse. He's made outright racist, revisionist comments, had lot opinions about "wokeness" and the like, about "defunding cancel culture", supported literal Neonazis and is an all around bag of dicks. And now we're supposed to throw a party for him? Because there's one "historically correct" gay and black person each in his game? Fuck that noise.
The enemy of my enemy is not my friend.

edit lol that games' steam forum is 84 pages big, before even releasing, and it's literally ALL one topic. Oh sweet Jesus.

vavra also isn't even demonstrating any desire to redeem himself in light of this, so doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt here at all.

not sure what inspired him to make this development with the MC in spite of his views

r/actuallesbians
"I'm trans"

HUH? 

All of lesbian Reddit is like that. There were some lifeboats after the major ones got taken over (I want to say that r/actuallesbians was one of them, hence the name), but they all got infiltrated themselves or were in the group that was purged in like 2020.

It’s literally this:

Repeatedly.

Except for the porn subs. There having a female-exclusive subreddit isn't bannanble

[Propagandhim]

my guy's wearing openly Nazi band shirts, so no. Fuck him, fuck the studio, fuck KCD.

 


Someone needs to explain to me the fucking difference between Vavra a Jewish game developer and his studio making a game and the game doesn't have any nazi views, but still his studio is implicated as Nazis and Varg making music where the music doesn't have any nazi views and the rest of his band as a whole is not being implicated as nazis (even discussed to this day on Resetera as being a good, influential band) despite Varg being one of the most jacked-up out of his mind explicitly racist retards on the planet.


All this comes down to is, "I like this thing, so it's okay".



Varg literally believes that as a Jew, Vavra is genetic refuse.  Why is it impossible not to make a connection from that shirt to anything about Vavra but NOT to anyone else who wears it you lying sack of shit?



The DOUBT is with the average person that wears it, not the Jewish guy that has explicitly come out against racism 

[kaleidoscopium]

It doesn't even feel like there's mainstream resistance this time around. Everyone's just kissing the ring.

Even I'm more defeated and empty than I want to be. I know I'll be fired up soon enough but damn it's hard not to feel that gut punch over and over again. It's gonna be a rough few years. Hopefully it's only -just- a few years.

Pendulum swing because you freaks went too far this time around, people were mostly fine with adults doing whatever but bringing children into it was about 10 steps too far imo

My best friend is trans and I'm non-binary so...it's 7:26 AM here and I don't think I can take anymore Trump news the next 4 years let alone today.

I'm gonna hide in a bunker and come out in 2028 to poke my head out and see the scorched landscape :(

I think this is probably the end for me. I can't see any reason to go on. I know no one here cares, but self forever sleep is a better option than being murdered by these religious thugs.

The cries of suicide has begun.

They could use KC situation to make a point about steam forums moderation and idiocy from CHUDS.

But no, fuck the racist game for doing what we wanted it to do, supposedly.

The entire argument against KCD and KCD2 that ERA made is that Vavra is such a racist that the games he makes must be seeped in bigotry reflecting his Nazism. Turns out, the games, even the first one, has LGBT content in it. The second game will be more diverse with PoC and have more LGBT content than the first game.

If Vavra is a Nazi, he's doing a piss poor job reflecting it in his work.

[Besticus Maximus]

Nepenthe is demonstrably more of a racist than Vavra 

[Pwnz]

Era apparently is at "it's sinophobic to not want the CCP controlling your media and news" stage.

[kaleidoscopium]

Turns out Vavra’s claims of historically accurate RPG was correct and holds correct in the second game, weird how that works, people saying something and sticking to it despite external pressures

It just reflects how any nuance is dead in this discourse.

Interestingly some of the more typical grifters like Grummz seem to side with Vavra

It's truly unhinged how sinophobic has absolutely no meaning over there

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S105381192500031X?via%3Dihub

I don't give two shits about China. I really do not care.

I care about the brain rot and addiction among friends and family.

I'm personally more worried about the brain rot you're causing to anyone reading your sinophobic posts.

By that measure I would imagine your friends and family are already lost causes.

Here's a former mod calling someone sinophobic because he *checks notes* hates Tiktok's addictive nature

[Pwnz]

I guess they'll have to cancel Fallout for being sinophobic

And supporting Taiwan or buying compute from TSMC is sinophobic which I think Chinese propaganda actually says despite both being Chinese.

[Boredfrom]

Biden did a genocide though.

You know that doesn't count. Americans think when they kill in the Middle East it's because they are fighting terrorists and saving the world! They are heroes for that!

Did the U.S. dispatched troops for this conflict?  

I wish that the forum wasn’t so neutered that people could call assholes like this out.

How is this not being murdered by them?

The central claim of trans genocide is that suicide (even if not demonstrated to have occurred, merely thinking about it) is evidence of the genocide. If this is true, and it must be, then actually carrying out the suicide (especially due to the oppression of the genocide) is not avoiding them murdering you. Only actually surviving denies them the goal of the genocide.

[benji]

If it wasn't so tedious to do I would definitely see how many users in such a thread or similar had previously posted on the transphobic forum ResetERA.com about being about to unalive themselves and what over. I guarantee that heathen earth has said it multiple times.

edit: Oh, I forgot, heathen earth is supposedly a therapist.

[kaleidoscopium]

Take a break from the internet ffs!! You might not agree with the new legislation that will follow but your life won't change. Trump isn't Hitler. His voters won't come home to you and force you to detransition or whatever you think that'll happen. Continue to take a stand if you want, talk to likeminded people. DON'T harm yourself over something that realistically will have no effect on your life whatsoever!

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trump-to-sign-orders-ending-diversity-programs-proclaim-there-are-only-two-sexes.1086957/page-2#post-134602287

Hey, are you trans? Do you have any idea what the implications of these orders can have? What are your own thoughts on this legislation?

I do occasionally crossdress, but no I'm not trans. I'm liberal when it comes to taxes, weapons, workers rights but I don't give a shit about identity politics and I think the democrats have lost the election because of it (Trump is for YOU ad was one of the most successful ffs) - but we're on resetera and I don't want to insult people. But when I see that people might really harm themselves because they got gaslit into thinking that Trump will send them to concentration camps because they're trans... yeah that's when I'm speaking up.

They probably meant to ban him for the above message instead of the first one, just funny

Because Grummz knows how fickle they are so need to be prepared when they turn on him for a random reason.

Vavra is an asshole, but I don’t think he intended to court Gators/CHUDS beyond shitposts.

People there should be more appalled that Trump still insisting on ending the citizenship birthright. Hell, even Trumptards should question this because is a huge waste of everyone time.

[kaleidoscopium]

Wonder if the woketards are gonna look back at the previous 4 years fondly despite constantly complaining about Palestine or trans sports

You can have opted to not vote, or use your vote in protest, for the most honourable, well intentioned reasons. But when Trump wins on fewer votes than he received in 2020, while actively running a campaign that included policies attacking trans people, that means that a chunk of ambivalent voters calculated that the risk to trans people was an acceptable cost to avoid being seen as endorsing genocide.

Trans people have every right to express vocal exasperation at being seen as acceptable collateral damage in this calculation, the same way they have every right to express that same exasperation towards the democratic party for doing the exact same thing in the wake of the general and suggesting they should stop endorsing trans rights to make themselves more popular.

Now upgraded to permanent with the reason given "concern trolling"

Yep, you heard that right, someone writing "don't kill yourself because of Trump" gets hit with a permanent ban for concern trolling

Well, no success on the one part really but:

318 views, 1 reply. If that doesn't say it all, then I don't know what does. I know the vast majority of you won't give a shit until it affects you personally, but if you think they're going to stop with us, you've got another thing coming. SILENCE = DEATH, just like it did back then, and your silence is resounding.

My uncle died of AIDS in 1996. Before he passed, he was an activist with ACT UP. They didn't get results by coddling the people who hated them. They made noise, they got in people's faces, they made them notice, they ACTED UP. I won't be silent. I won't be a well behaved lady. I will not go back into the closet and I will never change.

SILENCE = DEATH

Unfortunately, there isn't. We have to go old school anarchist with this and practice mutual aid. To put it simply, we have to help each other get out. This likely means supplying monetary aid, physically going to relocate people and opening your home to those in need. Those of you who know me on a personal level know I will put my money where my mouth is on this one. Donate, call, show up at your local politician's place of work and/or home and be a massive pain in the ass. And if you know a trans person who is trapped in one of these shithole states, do whatever you can to get them out.

I'm gonna increase my monthly donation to the Trevor Project and make my calls today at 8 AM. I'm calling on you, cis person reading this right now: join me. Together we can beat the fascists, but only together. Solidarity, love, freedom and QUEERNESS forever!

I am not editorializing with that title.

It's a short article, but here's Trump's plan:
Pass a bill that falsely claims there are only two genders, male and female
Reverse legislation for life-saving gender affirming healthcare
Ban all education of transgender and non-binary issues in schools nationwide
Ban transitioning for youth nationwide
Criminalize and hunt doctors and educators who try to save transgender and non-binary lives
Sign an executive order to end programs for gender transitioning for all ages nationwide

Cis people, if you consider yourself an ally, it's time to put your money where your mouth is. We are about 1-2% of the population. There aren't enough of us to fight them on our own. We need you to help us. This is not a Harry Potter video game, this is our lives. Please, please, please vote against this and try to convince others to do the same. If you live outside the US, try to lobby your government to accept refugees from this country. This is going to happen if Trump (or DeSantis, for that matter) wins. I know there are those who would accuse me of being an alarmist, but we've seen how this scenario plays out. Prepare yourselves. Trans people, get yourself to a safe place.

Edit: While the language Trump has used explicitly targets trans people, please note that this rhetoric includes nonbinary/genderfluid folks as well. Anyone who lives outside strict patriarchal gender roles is going to be a target, and yes, this also goes for cis gays as well, don't kid yourself.

A message for my trans siblings in Florida, or any parents or loved ones of trans folks in Florida: get the fuck out now. This is how it starts, with denying care and making registries of undesirables. Don't let it happen to you. Protect yourself, leave. Don't wait for cis "allies" to save you. You'll be waiting right up until the point they load your ass onto the train. PM me if you need it, I will help you.

You are beautiful and I love you.

Fell off the front page fast.

Happy pride month.

Anyway, this is clearly what they've been building up to. Insurance companies will use this as justification to deny coverage. But hey, as long as we still have Netflix and cute little rainbow stickers, all is right with the world.

For the cis gays who might be reading this, they will be coming for you next. Have no doubt.

Background: My wife and I are both late 30s, professionals in medical and mental health fields respectively. She is a cis woman, I am a trans woman.
To cut a long story short, my wife has a potential job offer that would be a step up for her in her career. The position would most likely be in Portland, but possibly in Salem, or traveling to both. I can operate in private practice anywhere. We currently live in Minneapolis, and are both a bit worried about the future of MN in general regarding the fash potentially taking over.

All I can say is that that Arnold thread from last night was very eye opening for me. Even in this one, we have evidence of plans for genocide, with less posts than a "What's your favorite poop?" thread. We can't do this alone, and right now, it feels like we are a lot of the time.

It's just so hard to go on in the face of this. How do you manage when you can see doom inevitably approaching?

Now would be the prudent time to stop trying to have debate club against Trans-Era.

It will never stop.

It's absolutely typical. That's why I don't really post here anymore.

By posting threads like this, I hope that it'll draw attention of cis people, and make them realize they have to step the fuck up. Because if they don't, we're in serious trouble.

My fear is that they won't. Sure, some of them "care." They care enough to make concerned noises and say the appropriate thing. But when it comes to actually doing anything that will cause them inconvenience or discomfort? I don't know.

I desperately hope I'm wrong.
