Don't know why I'm surprised.

Let's just change it to "Nexon confirmed the addition of this feature because horny men are dissatisfied with their lives and possibly their own wives and wouldn't shut the fuck up on Twitter about it" as per usual.

And I'm really being generous in assuming that some of them have wives.

AOC is a hot chick if youre a dude that doesn't go outside much.

There's hot chicks everywhere.

ok gaston

[benji]

If AOC wants my vote she should think about the lack of wholesome wlw content in our world.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Finally a benji political post I can agree with.

Look at how they look at each other. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar are in a wlw sapphic relationship. 



They need to admit it to the public so we can have our wholesome future first Madam President and the the first ever Muslim First Lady.

Throw Bernie in there and we got a stew going.

That wouldn't be wlw!

AOC is such a slimy rat. 

Bitch, we know you don’t care about transgender people…

I'm torn on AOC. Some of the stuff she says and supports I agree with and some of the other stuff I really, really disagree with her on. But fuck me is she hot and I love her voice. I'm not a simp.

she has an ugly horse mouth, but more importantly, she has the eyes of an unhinged crazy person, like someone raised in the jungle by wolves or something

Why is volume 1 still stickied?

You really need to give me access. It's been how long now?

Malds

Tell them about the $7000 in debts from unpaid bills you refuse to show up to court about or put any of your thousands of dollars of online donations towards.

Maybe some well placed emails will right the ship

Look, I understand that being trans not being comfortable in your own body must be very difficult.

But you're really not doing yourself any favours when you're terminally online and take every single bit of negative news personally.

Close social media. Log off for a bit. I promise you'll feel a lot better.

A lot of people are uncomfortable in their own body. They usually go on a diet, exercise more or get liposuction. They don't chop their cock off or take hormones (well some bodybuilders do). This shit is just another symptom of mental health issues.

I've done years of trauma work, plant medicine therapy, which the world isn't ready for that conversation.

Plant medicine therapy?  Is that just code for smoking a lot of weed?

Expect some salt from that topic with the character designs.

I still haven't tried any of the HoYoverse games. For those who have played the games, should I tackle Genshin, Honkai or Zenless first? I'm hoping all can be played solo as well.

Every single of those games are solo. They are not multiplayer focus (even if Hoyo have experimented with it).  

Genshin is an open world Zelda-like but ends action oriented with end game content, Honkai is Bayonetta lite with waifus, the same with Zenless Zone Zero but it has dudes.

I think the better game is Genshin but I fell off from it, maybe ZZZ could be an excellent entry point.

I do think there are plenty of trans people who are honest victims of gender dysphoria, who did what they felt was the best way to combat their disorder as best they can. They've been dealt a very unfortunate hand at life, and that deserves some level of empathy and respect.

Unfortunately, those good folk are absolutely and completely overshadowed by crazy lunatics, disgusting narcissists, toxic crybabies, and all the annoying mass propaganda that comes with it. So much so, that I think the chances of someone with a trans flag and their pronouns in the bio is, at minimum, a 50% chance of being an annoying piece of garbage.

And these fuckers do indeed deserve to be criticized, mocked, rebutted, and made fun of. Not discriminated against for their condition, but simply to be told to be a normal, decent, person for goodness sake.

Nah, mushrooms. (Really. I guess "fungi medicine therapy" is too gross sounding.)

My thoughts on trans folks is the same as asexual folks; they're emotionally stunted asocial loners that just need to get laid to become normal

Unfortunately for this thesis, a lot of big name "trans" voices are people who had relationships even to the point of marriage then later decided they were women. (Trans men cases are unique and I've come around to thinking they should be treated so because other than the shared gender delusion their pathology is unique, something Joanne has actually pointed out.) I'm sure the statistics for most trans would match this incel thesis but it's not entirely obvious.

To use just TransEra, we have plagiarze who is married, deimomasque who was/is something to AliceAmber, Kyuuji openly has posted about two failed seven plus year relationships which were their only ones, etc. Similar stories for the "trans influencers" they look up to like Erin Reed who is currently pursuing their third marriage, etc.

The incel explanation is a more favorable one than many of these people actually are. The narcissist thesis remains undefeated.

I still reckon in the relationships they were effectively incels, or rather, there were dead bedrooms and that was half the reason they got dumped. If everything was working in that regard they wouldn;t be searching out weird porn in the first place, alas.

[BananaBlast]

My thoughts on trans folks is the same as asexual folks; they're emotionally stunted asocial loners that just need to get laid to become normal, but the trans folks have crossed over beyond the "incel" threshold of self hatred to just lashing out indiscriminately. They get zero sympathy because we all got problems. Don't make your problems my problem. It's a generic answer but it solves all problems; start pumping weights and you'll feel better, but they'd rather play victim. "It's too hard." And they carry that shit to vidya games. Its too hard.
Fuck that and fuck you tubby.

Years ago on neogaf or early ree, I forget, some self proclaimed asexual chick who posted alot finally got a boyfriend, and guess what, they posted less and less.

Anyways I'm three shots and two beers deep since it's my friday at the bar and gonna go grab a burrito, go home, and play some genocide denying Draogn Quest.

Again, I do think that's a little bit on the unfairly harsh side, as I'm sure the majority of trans people's reasonings go a little deeper than that. Some are just doing it for shallow, terminally online, reasons, yes, but others genuinely seem to have good reasons to identify as trans.

....But I'll unironically agree with you that a lot of asexual people aren't actually asexual, and are just terminally online losers unable to cope. Seriously. Like, I've tried doing some research about it from asexual people themselves, and I was downright appalled to find out most of the male asexuals masturbate, and some of them even masturbate to porn and hentai. Like no bro, that's not asexual, you're probably just unable to cope with being a lonely terminally online virgin and you're desperate for a less shameful label. Sorry, not sorry.

Do you mean good in their own minds?

Visawife's on patrol in the Avowed thread

In case anyone wasn't aware, Fextralife got into hot water recently making up a conspiracy in regards to Dragon Age: Veilguard about not getting review code and used alt right sources such as Vara Dark and Grummz as his evidence.

Thanks. I removed him from OP

With who? You?

[Besticus Maximus]

Got into hot water by correctly reporting that Dragon Age sucked and that they'd cherry picked the reviews and that after launch people would agree the game's scores were inflated, which is 1:1 with reality

[BananaBlast]

others genuinely seem to have good reasons to identify as trans.

What's one?

Well I mean... gender dysphoria. Someone who, in all honesty and with no deceptiveness, feels that they are a different gender all throughout their life, no matter what. They find identifying as a woman (or man) makes them feel much better and they're now more willing to go through life.

[benji]

The answer to mental illness is to fight the disordered thinking, not treat it as a vision of an underlying reality.

I mean, people should do what they want, but I'm not going to call it a "good" reason just like I wouldn't say it's a "good" reason for an alcoholic to keep drinking because it's easier than fighting their addiction.

Though I would say I consider highly unethical for doctors to encourage their patients to embrace disordered thinking. As well as concoct rituals to perform to purportedly appease it.

[BananaBlast]

True, but what if the best way to fight it is to become trans?

[Besticus Maximus]

True, but what if the best way to fight it is to become trans?

They're not women in the same way that people who claim to be Napoleon are not actually Napoleon.

[benji]

It can't be the best way to fight it because it will only emphasize the difference between the false belief and reality. Hence why it becomes this endless ratchet of increasing devotion to the lie and increasing demands on others to believe it at all times lest the deliberate illusion be broken.

Perhaps there are individuals who benefit from a personal devotion to ritual, it's plausible as seen in other religions, but the presumption cannot be that this is not just necessary but the best method. This is dubious as shown by the fact that it's not done for anything else. There has to be an explanation for why this case of disordered thinking should be so different from all others. Only in that case can we even begin to approach a "good reason" for it that departs from all other practice.

I much prefer people doing just because they want to do it than taking an ax to the entire paradigm of mental health to try and justify a single nutty belief some people hold. Just have a fetish or believe a religion, whichever it is, don't try to justify it by harming everyone else. It's trying to protect it from criticism in the language of mental health that takes it from "just leave people alone" to something that needs to be fiercely criticized.

[BananaBlast]

The big problem with the whole trans movement are the delusional worldviews and the annoying propaganda that's being pushed onto people, mostly to people whom are not trans. Complete denial of very basic science, for instance.

But if a transgender person just wants to be transgender, and not bother anyone about it, that's perfectly fine. There are transgender women who realize they're suffering from a mental illness, and will instantly admit they're only this way because it pacifies their mental illness. They are chill, aren't trying to cause any problems, and would give up on being trans completely if there was a cure for their dysphoria. I respect the hell out of that, and yes, I do see it as a good reason to be trans.
