that doesn't even remotely look like latex gear, it's not shiny, it's not stretchy, it doesn't make me think of squeaky sounds and slippery textures and muted tactile sensations, but why do i expect that people who resort to kinkshaming understand these things in the first place?
Sorry, i can't take anybody using idpol as a buzzword seriously. I just can't. That's silly reactionary nonsense that muddles the waters between performative liberal pseudo-allyship and actually useful approaches like intersectional marxism.
Erin is usually the most thorough source for the US, i hope somebody can name a comparable British outlet as well given that it's on the forefront of fighting against trans rights in the imperial core and has some of the most openly transphobic journalists even outside of conservative sites.
This goes doubly because trans communities can be fairly well organized. I often see a very strong trans presence in queer spaces simply because we need to make up lack in numbers with determination and because we feel a stronger pressure to defend ourselves.
unbelievable levels of cringe
This is what pinkwashed capitalism gets us. I wonder if he's aware that the same advertisers will drop cis gay gossip outlets playing into respectability politics as well once transphobia has been used as a door opener to roll back the incredibly recent, still incomplete denormalization of homophobia, or if he's just the average corporate ghoul who can't think past the next three month's KPIs.
While Transgender lives in the UK and US are at risk, PinkNews abandons its transgender readers.

> In a bombshell leak from @PinkNewsStaff on X, Pink News' CEO Benjamin Cohen has been recorded signalling his intent to abandon the trans community to instead focus on being an “entertainment powerhouse”.
> In the leaked recording Benjamin is captured stating "We have to be careful." "It's the role of others to change narratives", going on to further say that covering transgender issues will cause them to lose advertisers.
> This revelation comes two weeks after pinknews removed their trans category from the website.
> @PinkNewsStaff joined X in May 2024 and has been releasing several other allegations about the outlet, claiming there is a toxic culture of bullying, harassment and discrimination at PinkNews.

If he wouldn't just dress like any western business dork but somehow worse, you could at least call it the drip cube. As it is, it's just a dollar store version of Magneto's plastic prison from that old X-Men movie.

I get it and i'm sorry if i've come across as looking to start a fight. I just feel this stuff needs to be pointed out when there's an Evangelion thread.
spoiler for End of Evangelion, SA
That said, Shinji is also a fucking sex pest who masturbates to completion standing next to Asuka's comatose body and when the film calls him out for being a sex pest, it does so with an endless horny fanservice montage of Asuka's, Rei's and Misato's asses, tits and feet. Because anime.
dude get in the fucking robot the world is ending
He's a child suffering from PTBS and depression. He barely has the spoons to do anything but lie flat on the floor, yet he is supposed to save the fucking world. ofc he struggles under that weight, that's the normal and expectable reaction in that context and it's honestly surprising that given the enormity of what is asked of him, he somehow manages to pull through. Which he does. He just (very realistically) suffers like a dog while doing it instead of being some dumbass superhero fantasy who always keeps his toothpaste smile in spite of seeing everything he knows being flattened under an apocalyptic onslaught.
The show is a callout of a toxic culture that demands duty and functionality at all times, no matter if the person in question is even remotely capable of it. I don't know if somebody without a history of depression, ADHD or other issues that can actively destroy your ability to perform even the most trivial everyday tasks is capable of understanding this, but it's actually ableist af to expect a boy like him to get reliably retraumatized over and over again without ever complaining about hand-to-hand combat against giant cosmic horrors that need to be drawn with a dwarved aircraft carrier group next to them to demonstrate their mind-rending scale . Shinji acts heroically because he almost always does what is needed, but he doesn't perform the aesthetics of what we think heroism is supposed to look like, he is visibly vulnerable and struggling instead of bottling up his pain and hanging in there for the job and because the show dares to take the needed time to appropriately portray that fight with himself, this has led to several generations of reactionary incels getting mad at him.
Not calling you a reactionary incel, mind you. I understand how you arrive at your impression, i had the same when i watched the show for the first time when i saw it on nighttime TV back in the late 90s and had only the faintest glimpse of what severe executive dysfunction looks like. But that this view is so widespread is a sign of the ableism and toxic masculinity we've all internalized to some degree.
We're ten years further away from the founding of Nirvana in 1987 than Nirvana's founding was from that of the Beatles in 1960.
This argument really depends on if we define classic rock as "older stuff" along a rolling timeline, like classic cars, or if it describes a distinct era in cultural history, like classicism.
Yeah, he's immediately dropped all of his patients the moment he started getting fanmail from transphobes. Nothing motivates this hog more than fame and having his own cult of personality.
i mean i guess i could write a bio for my profile, but i don't really see the point, this isn't twitter (thank god this isn't twitter)
I check like half of these, still have no bingo and can't even blame that on lesbophobia.
That's only because the trans flag smiley fits too well.
Once it's established enough, they will then proceed trying to remove NSFW content entirely
In that case, you can substitute ketchup.

Never went to Ozora, but pre covid, i went to psytrance events in Europe on a regular basis. There was always a strong presence of Israeli DJs and promoters because psytrance is fairly huge there, but never any overt propaganda like this. What was there in regard to bad vibes where conspiracy types that often were straight-up sovereign citizens and esoteric fascists, and funnily enough these guys who where often well-connected in a community full of fans of Israeli artists where usually not too subtle about their antisemitism, either. They didn't have to be subtle, that crowd is just full of idealist and brainwormed takes, and nobody understands any racist dogwhistles. It doesn't surprise me at all that this shift to open apartheid propaganda is taking place now.
It just makes more sense this way and if you're going "noooooooo words mean something you can't just grab all the gay" i'm like lol gayroller goes vrooooom !wojak-nooo !gayroller-2000
btw here's how gay i am now that i have ascended to my new and vastly more powerful form:
!hexbear-gay-pride !hexbear-lesbian !hexbear-bi-2 !hexbear-pan !hexbear-polyam !hexbear-demisexual !hexbear-trans !meow-hug !hexbear-trans
and yes the two trans bears with the hugging cats inbetween are now the official logo for t4t
It wasn't a hostile discussion or anything, i didn't even go full "the kulaks deserved it" (although the mod that single-handedly banned me did go full "the kulaks did not deserve it"). I just laid out plainly and calmly that revolutions are inherently authoritarian, that Luxemburg said "the revolution will be as violent as the ruling class makes it necessary" and that there's one Trotzki quote i 100% agree with: "If the October Revolution hadn't succeeded, the world would have known a Russian word for fascism 10 years before Mussolini's March on Rome". Basically the whole "Jakarta Method" train of thought laid out clearly and without calling anybody names.
Note that this was on an explicitly left-leaning server that does not allow cops and troops to join. Also after several days of another poster starting destructive, aggressive bad faith arguments in the politics channel until a number of users went "disengage" on her and the channel had to be frozen until recently, when she immediately started being hostile and arguing in bad faith again, which got her not one, but two warnings from the same mod without further consequences. Meanwhile, when i defend AES without attacking anybody, that's apparently too much for her to handle. No advance warning, no "sis, you're talking to me as a mod here", not even a notification that i got banned.
The best part is that according to screenshots a friend just sent me, she's now completely going off about "authoritarians". The nerve some people have.
Sorry for posting pointless internet drama here, i just needed to vent.

The world chess federation FIDE recently made the incredibly transphobic and mysogynist ruling to exclude trans women from competing in women's tournaments, to strip trans men of pre-transition titles and to subject trans people to a two-year long surveilance process that could lead to forced outings. The German and French chess federation have now decided to ignore this ruling. Source in German (mostly with the info from the image): https://www.queer.de/detail.php?article_id=46744

Sorry about the idealism tho, this test is actually hella dumb, but it's more fun than they usually are (at least if you're a permanently online trans person).
Anyway, if you want to do dumb political compass shit, but with trans memes, here's the test: https://notaquaheart.github.io/TransAxes/?
