Saw a streamer claiming that it's okay for them to stream Hogwarts Legacy because they're donating money from the stream to a trans charity.
How much? Don't know. They didn't clarify that.
It's pretty clear what they're doing, though. It's not really about wanting to raise money for trans charities. If it was, they could have picked any other popular game for their stream.
They just want to play the game and use the controversy to boost their channel. The only reason they included the charity thing is to use it as a shield against anyone who rightfully calls them out.
You can't claim to support the trans community while actively promoting and supporting transphobia.
Also pretty, uh, interesting how transphobia is the only issue they saw fit to address and ignored the racism altogether
Why am I laughing so much at this
Some reddit incel got big mad when I called him a misogynist for saying that Andrew Tate hasn't done anything wrong and just sees the world through a different perspective.
I'm really curious how I can be a fake feminist and a nazi feminist at the same time. And I guess not being okay with sex trafficking makes me a hypocrite??
These guys really are just a frothing sea of rage forever in search of rocks to break against
I have to say, Kirkwall seems like such a nice, respected, not-at-all-terrifying town.
Come join me for some Dragon Age fun!
I was talking to my mom and I told her that I think I might have autism and she told me that I do, and she's known about it since I was 5
And she just decided to never tell anyone, including me, about it
It apparently took three decades for her to decide that I might find this information helpful
So many things about me and my life make sense now
I really wish I had known this sooner
Anyone else think Joe Hill might have a problem with women?
I just finished The Fireman, and I've been reading through the short stories in 20th Century Ghosts, and, uh....I don't think he likes women much.
I'm thinking of re-reading Heart Shaped Box next and see if the issue is as prevalent in that as I remember.
Also, I could rant for hours about all the problems I have with The Fireman. I might just do that soon. But thinking about that book too much makes me kind of mad, so I try to keep my mind on other things.
i think it's called the unwinding? it's a dystopia where the premise is that there was a civil war between pro-choice and pro-life groups in america(?) and they made the compromise that all pregnancies must be carried to term and kids must be raised for a certain amt of years, but then at a certain age, 13 i think it was, if the parents dont like the kid they can have them "unwound," which is that they will be meticulously surgically taken apart but all of their organs and skin and everything will still be alive? somehow? and ig they'll still have some level of consciousness? and like, anyone who needs an organ transplant or skin grafts or like, amputees who want a new arm or whatever get that body part from an unwound kid. and the book follows a runaway who was gonna be unwound and then also a kid who was tithed, so like his parents had him w the express purpose of donating him to the church for unwinding?? the premise is absolutely bonkers and the narrative of the book shifts constantly, it touches on a whole bunch of real-world politics without ever actually committing to any stance, and the whole thing reads like a wattpad original work in a really bad way. but somehow there's like a whole series and it's legit popular!! i dont get it at all
This sounds like some fundie subterfuge nonsense.
They love to do this. The YA dystopia boom brought us so many books like this. Gentle Tyranny is another one, it's all about how feminism is evil.
They think that they can put a secular mask on and convert people without them realizing it. But they're really really bad at it. Like, who else other than fundies would even come up with this idea??
Was the writer a blonde white woman? I don't want this book in my search history, but I'm willing to bet I'm right
Pen companies that label their pens as 0.3 mm when they really mean 0.5 mm are pure evil
so the academy is reviewing whether or not to remove Will Smith’s award and here are some interesting tweets about that :)
Messy bi who dresses like a four-year-old despite being in my 30s
