Where's that one post about wanting to be able to defend hated female characters, but you can't bring yourself to do it for certain ones, like I cannot defend you, sorry not sorry-- anyway, I have had a beer that has gone straight to my head and I started the Witcher III finally and I remain a Tr*ss HATER

[asteria-argo]

if I see one more post on ANY site calling a male character "female coded" I will be walking directly into the woods to become an eldritch monster that eats the curious and the wayward

[bosspigeon]

But, OP! If disabled people are offered the freedom to choose their care providers, then who will trap them into abusive family situations for their entire lives??????

I mean, what if their new care providers fail to infantilize and patronize them on a daily basis?? What if their spouses and/or parents don't have the power to completely control every aspect of that disabled person's life??? Why, it would be CHAOS!!! MADNESS!!

Just think of all the confidence and joy that would suddenly run rampant in the disabled community! Surely, our little crippled hearts couldn't take it!! You are advocating for nothing less than human rights - which, as we all know, are TOTALLY CRINGE!!!!

Every country should have options for free/affordable accomodation for disabled people who don't want to live with their families and I'm so serious. Personally I'm in the process of realising that my current living situation is actually making me feel miserable lmao, and I was fortunate enough to stumble upon an opportunity to live somewhere else, where I would have 24/7 care without having to see my parents every day. I'm still on the waiting list, but it honestly can't come soon enough. The codependency between disabled people (especially people who were born disabled) and their parents isn't talked about nearly enough (or at all?) and it's a huge fucking shame because I think that if it was more present in the discussion on disability rights, there could be more tools in place to help disabled people who want to be independent from their families while still receiving the care they need.

And still it feels like it's not talked about because families should "stick together" and "sort it amongst themselves" and their disabled relatives are "their cross to bear". Like. Has anyone asked the disabled people in question whether they want to be their family's cross to bear? Whether they want their parents to be the people they see and talk to the most throughout the day? Whether they want to have only them to depend on, and if they were both sick or something, then I guess they're fucked lmao?

So. Accomodation for disabled people who seek independence from their families. Now 🤲🏻

Andrew Jackson WORST president for a fucking million reasons but my personal bone to pick is stewardship theory

[mysteriouslypinkconnoisseur]

Oh boy oh boy it gets worse

Oda: Here’s a silly little arc featuring a guy who looks STRIKINGLY like Sanji’s bounty poster to start the new arc! :)

Also Oda: Let me introduce you to the most privileged class in the World Government: the Celestial Dragons. They’re the residents of the “Holy City” who are the descendants of the founding kings of the World Government. Because of their blood as descendants, they aren’t held to the same standard as you and I. They can get away with actual murder in the street in front of people and they will not be punished! Because of who their ancestors were!

Also Also Oda: Slavery/human trafficking is a vile system that turns lives into commodities. It is not a passive system, and is viscerally traumatic for the victims. Even if it is considered taboo, as long as the government turns a blind eye, it will continue.

Oda: Here’s my new character! He’s a cyborg (but only on the front) who is fueled by cola that he stores in a fridge in his stomach!

Also Oda: Indiscriminate violence against a population for the actions of a few is not justice, no matter what the actions of the few entail. A ruling government built on colonialism and violence has a vested interest in rewriting the historical narrative and will do anything to protect their own version of events. This includes atrocities against citizens, including their own, if it furthers their narrative. They will demonize the survivors and victims to make them seem like villains and terrorists, and lie to the world at large. It is our job to listen to the survivors, and make sure their stories are not forgotten or distorted.

tw: simon's mean and a sexist.

Simon who doesn't like you. He respects Laswell, who's intel is vital to their missions. Price as the leader of the Task Force. Gaz because he's proved his mettle time and time again, and Soap whose stubborn self has burrowed under Simon's thick, knotted flesh.

Not you, though.

You've yet to do anything substantial.

As a sniper, your job is to aim and kill; provide overwatch. Why Johnny insists on giving you praise for doing what is required of you is beyond him.

You aren't taken to below-zero temperatures as emotional support. Why you're taken at all is also another mystery.

Without your gun, you're utterly useless. And Simon proves it, time and time again during training spars at base.

He comes at you as if you're the enemy, with dangerous precision and quick movements. Simon gets enjoyment out of seeing your eyes widen when he moves, like an injured gazelle who's just spotted a ravenous lion.

His grip is bruising— the force that he slams you to the ground with devastating.

Simon can hear the air punched out of your lungs once your back hits the mat, and the time it takes for your vision to sharpen, he's already pinning you down viciously with a knee to the sternum.

Useless. Women don't belong in combat. He's seen that big brute from KorTac. He'd crush your pathetic little head under his palm, he'd kick your ribs hard enough to crack and the splintered ends pierce your lungs.

He'd kill you without a hint of effort.

And Simon intends to remind you that there is no place for weak, bitty things like you in the front lines. Unless you're to be used as a distraction by flashing your tits at the bad guys.

Out of place.

Every time you go up against him, he uses his size and strength against you, just like every other person will. He launches you across the floor with a single arm, only to watch you struggle to get up and continue this sham of a fight.

Confidence born of ignorance.

As if sheer will would ever beat physical prowess.

If your feet won't touch the ground, then the rest of your body will. Through spilled blood and bruised flesh, may you learn.

He whistles at Johnny, gesturing at him to take his place, only for the end result to be the same, albeit much more gently.

Simon watches you through half-lidded eyes as he leans up against the wall. You fight against inevitability.

Pathetic.

And then one day, you come at him with a snarl on your lips. Blunt teeth that have never had to sink into someone's neck and rip a throat out, out of utter desperation. An unblemished face that's never felt the sting of a sharp blade as it's sliced open contorted into 'rage.' Frothing at the mouth like a lap dog with rabies, barking out words that are as empty as your future.

A forceful wave of his hand abruptly halts you mid-sentence, causing you to involuntarily flinch in response. Good.

"If ya have a complaint, take it to Price. I am not obligated to humor your stupidity."

He spins on the balls of his feet, leaving you to sputter indignantly.

Then on a mission, you get shot. Simon grabs the handgun that's holstered on his chest, and places it in your bloodied hands. "Keep them off of us, or we're both dead!"

His fingers are curled around the thick strap of your tac vest as he drags you toward the LZ; his pace never faltering even while getting clipped by stray bullets. But you?

He'd think you got your legs cut off. Wailing like a cat in heat over a wound above your hip. A clean in and out, nothing vital hit.

Simon has seen Gaz fall out of a helicopter, dangle from a rope, and still use his gun. He's seen Johnny cross a town full of Graves' Shadows bleeding from his shoulder, armed with nothing but the makeshift weapons he crafted on the way to the church. Price inhaled toxic gas and made it out just fine. Even Laswell was taken hostage and didn't crack under the pressure, going as far as killing her captor with her bare hands.

And you're decomposing in front of his very eyes over a superficial wound.

Landing at base, he walks out without a glance back and heads straight for Price's office. He didn't join the 141 to babysit anyone, least of all someone who belongs in either intelligence or a kitchen.

god how i hate economists. it is so incredibly stupid to put dollar signs on the vital services of our planet. how can you sit here and tell me carbon sequestration stocks cost X amount. the dollars are made up!!!!!!!! we will drown in salty acidic ocean waters of our own making!!!!!!! this is not the time to monetize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy, they hit my Mass Effect button.

The way this article is phrased and presented, it seems like they're comparing Mass Effect 1 with Starfield, which...

Mass Effect 1 came out in 2007.

There was only so much they could put into the game. We didn't have the technology at the time.

Additionally, none of the Mass Effect games were about Space Exploration specifically. Yes, they had space exploration in them. You could go to planets, drive around in the Mako (for 1), shoot off probes (for 2 and 3) and do missions, but those things weren't the entire point of the games.

Mass Effect had an interesting, rich story for you to follow and where that was perhaps weak, the characters you were capable of interacting with really made the games something to remember and cherish.

Mass Effect defined an era of Sci-fi action shooters for an entire generation of gaming. When people think of Mass Effect, they don't immediately go,

"Oh, yeah, I remember that game. The story was okay, but you had to drive around 900 empty planets to do anything interesting and you need to mod it for it to be playable."

I may be a smaller percentage of the fanbase for Bethesda here, but I literally cannot play Skyrim or Fallout 3 or 4 without modding anymore, even though that's how I originally played those titles.

I don't think it's ever occurred to me before this moment that I would want to mod Mass Effect, let alone need to for a fun, memorable gaming experience.

Don't even get me started on how horrible it is to mod these games. Skyrim is a fucking nightmare to mod and Bethesda is actively hostile to the modding community. They don't want you to make free content for their games. They want you to pay for any additional content that can be added to it. What do y'all think the Creation Club/Kit bullshit was?

Again, I might be an outlier here? But I think games should come out finished and good? Especially from big companies like Bethesda, Nintendo, EA, etc. They have the money, they have the manpower, they have the time.

They just. Don't. Care.

"Bethesda wanted to avoid Mass Effect's pitfall with Starfield's planets Bethesda’s Todd Howard said only 10 percent of Starfield planets have life on them, but the space game still creates a unique experience on every world. Howard made the comments in a recent interview with Kinda Funny Games’ Xcast team, when Parris Lilly asked if Starfield would avoid the Mass Effect problem of presenting players with exploration options – only for them to find nothing of value on the planets. 10 percent of Starfield’s 1,000 planets is 100 planets, so presumably, that means 900 planets are devoid of life and exist solely for gathering resources. Howard didn’t expand on why the galaxy needs 900 lifeless planets, but he did say the team wanted to create a universe where, if you saw something in the distant stars, you could reach and explore it.  Howard said that the Starfield team balanced making hand-crafted material for planets and using procedural generation to create a unique experience every time you land on a planet. They created a “Goldilocks zone” in the galaxy where it makes sense for life to exist and created different biomes for these worlds. Others will have layouts and resources determined as soon as you land on them, which Howard hopes will preserve the feeling of being the first one to step foot on this strange world and see these sights."

Okay full disclosure I am not a Sterek shipper never have been I simply don't see it or care about them as any sort of couple, they're barely friends ffs.

BUT it is undeniably an act of violence toward Sterek shippers that Derek has this Stiles lookin' ass kid who's obsessed with Stiles's Jeep, is on the lacrosse team but never gets to play just like Stiles, is kind of a little klutzy weirdo like Stiles, is always getting into trouble with Sheriff Stilinski like Stiles, and conspicuously has no mother ever mentioned, in photos, etc. Not even in passing, not even as a half-hearted no homo.

Conclusion: this kid is literally tailor made to evoke frothing at the mouth rage in Sterek fans. Maybe Jeff Davis DOES need to answer for some crimes.
