Then the heart of Éowyn changed, or else at last she understood it. And suddenly her winter passed, and the sun shone on her.

if you are part of a community space where there are no trans girls, and you recognize that as an issue, the next step is not "find trans girls and convince them to join."

The next step is consistently and actively confronting transmisogynist language, behavior, and views within that community space, and taking a role in sitting down and talking with other TME people about transfeminism.

if your space is filled with constant unchallenged transmisogyny and made up of TME people who have no practice with (or interest in) unlearning these views when confronted with them, then inviting trans women there doesn't make the space better, it makes those trans girls' lives worse.

Concept I've been stewing on for a while here. I've got a name for it now and I'm calling it the Shot Dog Factor. It's a numerical value, assignable to any internet post, which represents the average number of engagements it needs to reach before someone comes along acting like this post shot their dog.

And for the sake of High Number = More Danger, which feels like the intuitive and sensible read, let's call it the inverse. As in the chance that any given interaction results in a Shot Dog response.

"Hee hee haa haa" type of silly shitpost? Low Shot Dog Factor. Largely safe. A genuine political opinion? Critically high Shot Dog Factor. Guaranteed to elicit such a response if it breaks containment.

As a result of this phenomenon, you see phrasings and circumventions added specifically to lower the Shot Dog factor. Every "now I know this doesn't apply to EVERYONE'S specific situation, but I just think--" about something where the non-specificity was obvious, but OP needed to add that disclaimer to avoid the Shot Dog from someone who thinks it needs to apply to them.

And another--perhaps the most--critical thing to understand about the Shot Dog factor is that 0 is not a valid value. There's a discontinuation at 0. And as such, the Shot Dog limit, as engagement goes to infinity is, in fact, 100%. Any and every post you have ever made, given enough containment breaching, WILL piss someone off in wild ways. You can lower the Shot Dog factor but it is never 0. Sometimes when a post of yours escapes containment, you must simply sit back and accept this reality.

It's often talked about that even if you're designing a Dungeons & Dragons clone, you should be broadly familiar with the indie scene in order to guard against the possibility that you're trying to reinvent the solution to a problem that some random indie RPG about gay catgirls talking about their feelings figured out in 2002.

What's less readily acknowledged but no less true is that even if you're designing an indie RPG about gay catgirls talking about their feelings, you should be broadly familiar with the OSR scene in order to mitigate the possibility that you're trying to reinvent the solution to a problem that some random Dungeons & Dragons clone figured out in 1978.

working with 30 smth yr old linecooks is crazy because youll be having a normal conversation and theyll just randomly say shit like yeah tequila be making me a little bicurious and my babymama wont let me see my kids! 🤣 and you enter a quick time event where you have to craft a normal response in 1.5 seconds
