Journal of Other Forum Analysis (Volume II, Issue 1)

[Nintex]

They always talk about 'the trans issues' but I doubt these clowns can even name what those issues actually are.
From what I can tell these are the trans issues and how the GOP/Trump looks at it.

- Same sex marriage (Trump has never spoken out against this, Republicans consider this to be the law of the land even though they disagree with it)

- Trans people in the military (with recruitment levels as low as they are it remains to be seen if they can really afford to change this but otherwise is it so bad to lose the privilege to die in a radiated trench or from an IED for TRUMP?)

- Trans people in sports (this seems like a real concern based on science of female/male body types rather than something the GOP cooked up. Considering some corpos will probably pay good money for 'trans only' sponsored sports leagues that's likely where this is headed. Regardless the US global sporting events will probably be more LGTBQ+ friendly than it was in Russia or Qatar)

- Disability benefits / welfare (It seems to me that an overhaul is long overdue if there are people working their ass off that can't afford food but the state pays for lavish gaming and gundam collections)

- Health policies (Trump put RFK Jr. on this, who wants to make people healthier and he's probably more open minded about this than any Republican Trump could've picked. The biggest risk is of course that research will show cutting off your tits or cock and replacing it with a gaping wound isn't beneficial for your health. Hard to believe a Kennedy would push for any policies restricting sex or whatever) 

- Trans people and kids (Probably no changes in this. Blue states will still do queer story hours, red states won't. Trump actually opposes a TikTok ban. In fact if he does close the department of education it'll be left to the states and schools in blue states could gay it up even more)

- Genders in passports / IDs (Let's assume Trump goes all the way with this and allows only Man/Woman. How many times do you actually use a government issued ID in your daily life? The rare traffic stop, aiport visit or for a car rental? In addition if the government no longer keeps detailed tabs on gender it'll be far more difficult to target any gender group specifically) 

- Trans "genocide" (from what I understand most deaths are suicides or related to sex work. Trump intends to fight the human traffickers and violent gangs, so sex workers are probably better off in general. As for the suicides, RFK already spoke about the alarming suicide rates among the youth so he will likely try to bring those numbers down)

- Bathrooms (90% - 95% of bathrooms are already gender neutral because most people only have one toilet in their bathroom. Same with a lot of workplaces. Most people tend to avoid public toilets so in the end this mostly relates to bathrooms at McDonalds and the likes. I don't know what the bathroom experience is for these folks but in most cases people go about their business and ignore everyone and everything else. I always say: "hey man don't forget to wash your hands" when I have to wait for someone to come out and they're like all nervous and shit )

They seem to have basically all the other rights everyone else has, such as the right to drive a car, get a job, open a bankaccount etc. . 
Of course it won't be all sunshine and rainbows but from what I can tell there is no immediate threat from the incoming administration to the trans community.

Whatever happened to not demanding that minorities fight every battle? RE will yell at you that "It's not on minorities to educate you about issue X" but will demand that this trans woman kills her entire political career over bathrooms.

Imagine unironically using words like dei and woke.

What a buncha chuds. Yikes, what absolute transphobic nazi gamergaters.

[BananaBlast]

My only problem with people using DEI and woke is whenever they use it for the dumbest shit ever, such as "is that a minority working a white collar job? DEI DETECTED!" or "is that a minority standing in the distant background? WOKE!

Yeah that's just straight up racism.

Then you get to Dragon Veilguard at 23k concurrent players at the moment, and I'll allow it.

Diversity is good. Internet activists being rewarded for being retarded and screeching is not good. They don't represent minorities and it bugs me everytime the worst of worst decides to take the mantle as the official rep and nobody says to shut the fuck up.

[AnnoyedCanadian]

I consume media that is "woke" and "not woke" or whatever. I don't give a shit. As long as I like it I could careless what other people think. I don't seek a constant confirmation bias. I'm too old for that shit and complaining on both sides is so fucking stupid to me. A giant waste of time in the end.

Just enjoy what you like as long as it's not illegal and don't be a cunt.

Same. I'll go a step even further and say that diversity, anti-discrimination (racism, sexism, etc.), and inclusion are good things and can be seen as noble causes.

But crusades of screeching dumbass activists, loosely backed by whatever fucking powers that be, have completely ruined the sentiment, corrupted it into a deranged weapon, and keep spamming the button as some dystopian warfare tactic.

What's the equivalent for 'Uncle Tom' for a trans person? Because that is what McBride is to TransERA at this point:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/november-21-2024-the-advocate-a-betrayal-trans-people-respond-to-sarah-mcbrides-bathroom-ban-compliance.1043436/page-3#post-132069810

I'm not trans I'm Delaware

This lady will not have the backs of trans Americans I'm sorry

She's doing the best she can

.
Apparently her best is doing absolutely nothing.

She's absolutely not doing the best she can

Stop treating her like a child

Oh no

She's libbing it super super hard

Oh no, I really really feel for my Transfolk

Yall deserve a champion and a fighter 100%

About a week ago, I said that Mrs McBride appeared to be a fighter and I was soooooooooooooooooo wrong about that

People are making analogies on what if this was a Black Candidate with Black Issues, and I'd frankly be livid

If this was a scenario about deleting Black History from school or something and the Rep just fucking rolled over on it, I'd be livid

It think that's the gravity some people don't understand.

The Congress hasn't even started yet! And she rolled on the first literal obstacle of her career.
The mentality is, if you can't fight this small thing…. How do we now expect you to fight the big stuff??

You parlayed with them and gave them appeasement, and their next action was "Good, let's go federal now"

What will 1000% fuck up the left in these next 4 years is not knowing how to fight and stand your ground. We are going to give up ALOT of social norms coming up

Yeah but her normalcy is Sarah McBride isn't upset about being banned from a bathroom, she just politely disagrees

I'm sorry but McBride has massive amounts of privilege that other trans folk on the hill don't have, and won't have across the country should this expand

Sarah McBride's normalcy is just to encourage folks to see trans oppression as not a big deal

She's going to be a weight around the neck of literally every trans person disinterested in being the noble who suffers with dignity

And she doesn't want to represent trans Americans and yet she's the one telling her colleagues that aren't Mavericky people like Fetterman and AOC how to talk, and the talk is whatever we have real issues to handle

Yeah I'm sorry that statement from her is more of the same luke-warm nonsense that the DEMs keep spewing out. They still act like this isn't a war and that everyone just need to "work together" which they don't seem to get is completely impossible.

Can't even deliver for herself, not sure how she will for her constituents.

To be clear, if McBride fought this rule she'd still have a job unless half her Dem collegues agree to kick her out. She would still be there able to work. A guaranteed paycheck for the next two years. Health insurance. That's still way more than any other trans person in a similar situation in the workplace. It is a very privileged position to be in. Yeah she might get iced out more by the GOP but clearly that is going to happen anyway since they've already dehumanized her and stripped away her identity.

So she should burn her political capital and make herself a one term congresswoman? What will that do for trans rights, exactly? All it will show to the public is that all trans people care about is access to women's bathrooms.

I'm sorry she's a fucking disaster, that clip above of her being directly subjected to Mike Johnson calling her a man while claiming to treat her with dignity and when directly asked if she feels she's being treated with dignity she pivots to I'm Delaware, republicans can focus on trans people I'm here to pull up my sleeves and focus on THE REAL ISSUES

fuckfucking humiliating.

why is she on fucking tv if that's all she can do.

She's going to make everything harder for trans people who don't have the privileges she has... and I really don't think she cares

Fucking unreal

I don't understand why they turned McBride into the global spokeswoman for trans people on their own and are now disappointed she isn't doing what they wanted: martyr herself for access to women's bathrooms on Capitol Hill.

This is what happens when the online trans LARPers meet a trans person who just wants to be a real person not defined by their label.

[Potato]

They act like this is some kind of holocaust but these are really all the smallest hills to die on.

Shit is sliding backwards rapidly for trans folk and frankly depending on which state you live in it has been for a while. There should be alarms going off and it feels like there is zero sense of urgency among dems or anyone else not in the community. Getting our first trans rep initially felt like one of the few silver linings from election night and instead it feels extremely hollow.
"We'll fix it in two years" I'm here to tell you that a lot of us don't have two years.

Why not? And shouldn't that be fixed first?

And why is getting your first rep "extremely hollow"? Shouldn't you be happy that you achieved what many thought would be impossible 20 years ago?

They will all be here in two years complaining about the same shit. Nothing material in their lives will have changed...and that's on them because they're lazy.

Not going to comment on the body of the video because I have no interest in clicking and giving any engagement.
I am just interested how all has been rather positive on the stellar blade front recently, a couple cool threads and it is like someone said "whoah we can't have that" and made this video.
Picking up on alot of the key points from this thread and it feels like the video is not breaking any new ground anyway. There are people who hate the game and will take this and say "yep he is right " and there are those that enjoy the game who will point out weak arguments.
The game is definitely one that has strong feelings on both sides

Kefka pushes a statue, does some war crimes and kills the only black man in the game. Not very cool. However he is a bratty noble that does the Sailor Moon villainess laugh, which does add serious points on the board.

Meanwhile Sephiroth's kind of a jobber. He's just stuck in a crater the whole game, and had his mum do all his iconic scenes for him. The two real appearances in the OG FF7 I can think of, he got his ass kicked. And then finally when the one winged angel song plays, he's got like seven wings and a typo in his name. He's the only clown in this poll.

It's been ages, who?

Ragebait grifting by dishonest exploitative hacks for entitled rightwing snowflakes who gobble it down and whine like pathetic pissbabies about trivial invented nothings because they want to feel angry and oppressed about not all of the games being made specifically - and preferably exclusivity - for them. A sad state of affairs that the rest of us wouldn't need to care about if it wasn't for them also being hateful, destructive assholes.

Yup. Not at all angry

[AnnoyedCanadian]

If you can't handle social media to the point where someone sending a YouTube video gets you upset, you shouldn't be on it.

I'm not condoning harassment or any shit like that, I can understand people not wanting to be on social media for that reason. But for someone sending feedback? That is some seriously thin skinned shit ESPECIALLY if they like what you are doing and offering a tiny critique.

Jesus. Fat Lord's taken a trip to fantasy Island -

Basically any "real life" anime from the 80s/90s.

Largely because I kinda already dress that way? There's a timelessness to that era of clothing because, whether you dressed in form-fitting or baggy clothes, there was a real emphasis on strong silhouettes and lines. This is what I look for when I clothing shop, and (maybe because it was easier to draw) it was really captured in the animation of the time.

Like for example, I am STILL actively searching for the gloves to recreate this blazer/glove combo, and when I find them? My coworkers better be prepared to be SICK. OF. ME.

Strong silhouettes and lines on his form fitting circus tent.

My bro explained to me that many developers want the gamers/consumers to understand what goes into making a game and how much effort they personally put into it despite their personal problems. That they should be thankful the developer contributed at all and not complain about the $80 - $100 price tag.

He constantly argues with them that the only 'role' the gamer/consumer has is to buy and play the game and hopefully tell others about their experience.
Gamers don't 'owe' developers anything simply because they did their 'best'. 

To him it's no different than any other product anyone sells but he says they just feel "special" and consider all their consumers 'toxic'.

Most of the gobshite they develop isn't worth the old fifty buck price tag, even before DEI they were worth a heavy discount on steam where you buy them for next to nothing...

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

If it is a retarded DEI slopfest it's worth a "internet store purchase" at best...but then again 9/10 it ain't even worth wasting the time, bandwidth or storage space to do even that!
