User Banned (2 Weeks): Ableist Rhetoric

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

This reads like something someone on the spectrum would say. If you ignore social norms and how humans interact, it does make logical sense lmao.

one of the best parts of era is how they police their own mild insults 

saying "on the spectrum" is ALREADY the nice way of saying "this is retarded"

https://www.resetera.com/threads/anti-trans-state-laws-increased-suicide-attempts-by-72.993591/#post-129343347

Melody’s 40 attempts this year rose the number.

Everyone knows that trans suicide attempts are mostly cries for attention and they never intend to succeed. So, a much better methodology would be to tell us the success rate of the suicide attempts, but I don't think anyone is ready for that conversation.

like fuck, do they want people to stop trusting "experts" and "science?"

I didn't even look into this one further because I knew the other shoe was going to drop and we'd find out the number was wrong

I don't want to have to be mistrusting of such studies! now I have to doubt every single one because no one can be honest about them!

These are people who are trying to convince you that just because someone with a penis and testicles FEELS like a woman, then they biologically ARE a woman.

They definitely don't want you trusting science...well certainly not any science that disagrees with their social studies degrees.

Do they think playing as a girl will turn them into a woman or something?

Does that mean if I play Sonic, Crash, or Banjo will turn me into a furry?

I mean... have you seen the fandom?

they say shit like this but then turn around say that playing an edgy game will turn you into a chud, or pull faces about playing as a bald white space marine

Yeah, but the difference there is those beliefs are in the head and so can be changed, whereas being a man or woman is an immutable biological realiWAIT A SECOND!

Is it transphobia to call out attention seeking behaviour and annoying people? 

Too much of this "transphobia" boils down to just telling annoying obnoxious people to sit down and shut the fuck up.

Guess what? If you weren't trans you'd still be a cunt and I'd still hate you. That ain't transphobia, that's equality.

It's always the same.  There's always some crime that makes it okay for the state to kill someone.  The limiting factor is the crime not the principle.  There's an alternate white supremacist version of Nepenthe on some forum lamenting the death penalty in all cases, except for this one because Marcellus' victim was a white woman, and that's where the buck stops.

Marcellus didn't do it though. The prosecutor even tried to stop the execution

"There is hatred out there," Ferrell continues. "It's very real and it's very unsafe for trans people in certain situations." He ponders my original question. "But I don't know why trans people are meant to be threatening to me as a cis male. I don't know why Harper is threatening to me." The pair have a gentle rapport – there are lots of appreciative smiles back and forth. "It's so strange to me, because Harper is finally... her. She's finally who she was always meant to be. Whether or not you can ultimately wrap your head around that, why would you care if somebody's happy? Why is that threatening to you? If the trans community is a threat to you, I think it stems from not being confident or safe with yourself."

maybe because they collectively argue that "you know yourself better than anyone" even as a child and that children should be able to start to transition at ages when they're still saying "I want to be a dinosaur when I grow up"

maybe when their happiness is contingent on how others treat them or what others say about them, manifesting as demands and impositions on others, rather than finding fulfilment within themselves and just laughing and not caring if someone misgenders them

maybe because they're encroaching on women's spaces and causing the whole world to go insane, with various regulatory bodies allowing them to smash female records, win medals and push out natal women from competitions

now read it as Will saying "hey you dumb women, if you don't like it when trans women win competitions, that's just because you're not confident with your own self, you need to look inward and stop feeling threatened"

Also no one is asking Kaitlyn to go on roids. Abby looks way more like most young women do, just with less body fat. There's millions and billions of women who look like Abby. I'd prefer someone who's bulky and/or fat compared to the usual Hollywood "buff woman" body which is never actually buff lol

Most women you will find irl are closer in size to Abby than to the actress portraying her.

These people are insane. If you care about her being buff in the TV show get a fucking life.

This is someone who has never interacted with a woman in real life. Most look like Abby does in the game? MOST!?

I certainly don't think that makes any sense. People who redeemed it for free can now get the remaster for $10.

But I'm done weighing in, heh. The only argument I've seen to be truly offended by this situation has been a single person advocating that they should've offered a $30 upgrade path... and you know that would've resulted in another toxic thread and eaten up every headline.

Looking forward to my $10 Horizon ZD remaster!

Same user

As someone who bought the game a million years ago, it's certainly worth $10.

For someone who never played it and now has a PS5-centric remaster, I can't tell them what they think it's worth.

I'm out of this thread for real this time.

It doesn't look like a low budget sci-fi show. This could easily be a scene from a SW movie.

I'm probably about to move to a new city and start over…again… and I'm used to growing new roots in new places so you can't really survive loneliness in this day and age unless you actively fight against isolation by meeting people and investing in the good ones.

We don't have kids and live in a mostly suburban city and it's hard. Most people around us that are our age (30-50) are just too damn busy for friends usually because they have kids.

But then it's still like anything else where you want to get along with other couples and have stuff in common which is another major hurdle.

And THEN you have to find your own free time to make it work.

I kinda miss high school and college :(

Make more queer friends, maybe? Haha

They're/we're less likely to be tied down to kids or a partner (due to a number of reasons) and they often have more time to be invested in their careers and incomes and spend on leisure for themselves and their friends instead of the cishet suburban life.

TBF, exaggerating the % in the title comes from serious journalist Erin Reid, not the study itself. As for the study, I have little doubt that its methodology is less than ideal considering it's done by an advocacy group (Trevor Project) and not scientists who don't skin in the game. So the question is why Nature and similar journals are publishing studies by activists? Well, for one thing, it was not published in actual "Nature", but in its social sciences cousin "Nature Human Behaviour". It was "peer reviewed" by one identified person (and maybe "other, anonymous, reviewer(s)"), and look at the bio:

Dr... is an Assistant Professor of Public Health Education at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her work focuses on stigma and the health of sexual and gender minority communities in the United States and other global settings, with a particular focus on the health of transgender and other gender-diverse people.

Do you know how many times i've heard some variation of, "I don't normally believe in the death penalty, I don't give a shit, sentence him to death."  After a Dylan Roof-type incident?  Especially after the FREE BURGER KING TREAT those cops graced him with.


ah, here we are: https://www.resetera.com/threads/4th-circuit-upheld-dylann-roofs-convictions-death-sentence.476730/

It's also the ones who most display how they hate the death penalty.  They are most willing to find exceptions to their principles.  The other side is worse after all and we are the good ones.

That already happened on the PC decades ago.

And yet you have tons of people (including on this forum) praising Steam/Valve, even though they essentially killed off the physical games market.

Not to mention allegations that Valve prevents developers from selling games with lower prices on other storefronts.

So if Sony gets away with it, I say good on them. Sorry to say but I have no sympathy for "gamers" whatsoever...

What physical games market? Does this person remember what trying to buy PC games was like before Steam?

And Valve must be doing a really shitty job at that whole preventing developers from lower prices elsewhere considering how much cheaper everything is everywhere else.

Of course this is all according to plan as the rights easiest route of killing trans people.

This really isn't the easiest way to kill trans people. We don't even have any numbers as to if it's happening.
