I feel like there's something to be said about the way fandom will treat characters who's trauma they can personally relate to Vs characters who they cant

[bitchfitch]

help people are mistaking the opening chapter of my psych horror story about a man getting trapped in a demented game of house with a personification of the US Military's rot for a cute gay romcom about veterans relaxing after achieving glory

"So, you're Izuna?"

"I am... if you want me to be."

"All I want from you is an answer!"

"It doesn't matter who I am. I'm here for you, Tobirama. See? I'm real."

i get thrown in the psych ward cause im tired and hungry and need a walk in the desert where i avoid temptation again. except they all eat when the suns up and fast when the suns down its insane over there

then im released for a week but i misplace my keys on the long weekend and freak out pretty hard. so they throw me back up there and release me after a whole week of wasting each others time again

now i lost my wallet and im so tired and hungry i dont wanna do dishes and feed myself fuck that nonsense its ramadan i wanna go out to eat but i cant use my debit its lost and i cancelled it now. i need my friends to talk to me again it sucks living my life. its the exact opposite of jesus if you ask me but its ok the antichrist killed herself a long time ago. im suicidal again is the problem because its the end times and they want simon back. so yeah i might go back to the psych ward a third time. ill bring this phone with me though.

Listen I NEED trump to genuinely fuck off because my only plan in life is to go into the military and I can't do that if I'm a trans man

You mean to tell me I can get a job where the entire thing is to just shut off my brain and follow orders AND they pay for my healthcare/housing/dental/ probably a bunch of other stuff AND I get to run around on the obstacles courses. But I might not be able to do that because some orange dude wants to throw a tantrum over my existence? I'm actually about to have a Tom and Jerry level crash out.

[lesbianyosano]

legitimately what the fuck was that

Its real strange when Americans especially (meaning politicians, less citizens but them too sometimes) say socialism doesn't work because how the hell would you even know. Half the shit American politcians describe as socialism isn't socialism, and often they treat those things like the sky will fall if they're implemented (like healthcare. Ignore Canada right above you. Lie about how our system works by telling people you need to wait years to see Drs about life threatening issues when you only get waitlisted for specialists and not for years either, it's generally a few months. Not ideal but not what American politicians say either. Ignore every other country with universal healthcare better than Canada's, which is everyone's, because there's no need to even lie about those after making the country above you look bad for not charging 80K to look at a band-aid, which is somehow an improvement to waitlists like the poor won't just die instead of seeing a dr).

Not to mention the US has invaded so many countries with politics farther left then theirs just to install right wing terrorists and then get mad when some of those terrorists they straight up funded do a 9/11 to them like they have slaughtered thousands to "spread democracy" by overthrowing democratically elected leaders all over the world for being "too socialist" or communist so how do you know socialism doesn't work? If it doesn't it's because America specifically has never allowed it to, like you can't invade every single country that does things mildly different, completely destroy them, and then say "see socialism doesn't work!" like you had nothing to do with the collapse of that system???? It's literally the meme of Eric Andre shooting that guy and being like "how come socialism didn't work!" like they didn't just shoot socialism in the face in cold blood. And also capitalism doesn't need to work at all in any way, efficient or not, for everyone to defend it to the hilt so like ok who cares if socialism works if you don't care that capitalism doesn't and you defend it anyway? Clearly "works" isn't a prerequisite to using that system so that's not even an argument worth bringing up at that point.

I mean yeah, that IS your only option. Sorry but it seems like a fully spoiled position to mock the idea that things shouldnt be allowed to get as bad as humanly possible. I will say i dont especially blame every non voter or third party voter since the dems are also personally sabotaging their electability... but yeah. The loss will result in trump. And lets see what theyre up to--

So besides project 2025 which outlines every obviously evil thing they want to do, such as destroying the democracy, hence alleviating everyone of the trouble and ability to vote to begin with, they already have been making clear everything else they want to do... by doing the things. Such as revoking trans health care, criminalizing queer people, queer education, and those aiding queer people medically, attacking racial minorities rights, working to relegate women to second class citizenship by trying to ban contraception and end divorce. They want a full ban of abortion. All they want to do to "illegal immigrants." The list goes on.

And btw, much as it seems to be chauvinistic... yeah, the USA holds a lot of international power. Like a lot. I mean youd think thats obvious when 99% of the world wants the genocide in genocide to end-- but since the USA refuses to, no one else will/can step in.

The USA also has the strongest military in the world as well, which doesn't seem like a great idea to place in the hands of rabid fascists.

But yknow. Oh well voting sucks. So let it be worse.

if you want to make politicians change their behaviour you should always vote for them no matter what. but send them a letter saying that it makes you feel kinda bad that you're going to keep supporting them whether or not they change. and also the US is meant to rule the world

"was this war a good war?" as far as i'm aware no war is good.

I haven't started extensive research on Google bc I know if I do I'll get stuck for a while but after seeing the protesters get fired and the CEO's little message I'm just so done with everything they're involved with. I have years of writing and files in my drives so I downloaded all of it and deleted it permanently. Figured out how to make firefox automatically open alternate web searches, so I can use Presearch for everything which seems decent so far. Google also allows you to download the personal data they have saved and request to delete so I did and hopefully it's 'actually' deleted. They have 22 GB worth of stuff on me somehow so I'm gonna go through it to see why

i rlly do not think white global northerners understand how fucking bad the anti sinovac psyop was in context of the philippines and other targeted countries being from the global south, with a history of economic and military intervention and destabilization by the usa specifically.

i live in the philippines and sinovac was the only available vaccine for MONTHS of the pandemic. people were fucking dying and we had no pfizer, no j&j, no astrazeneca, no moderna. sinovac was the ONLY vaccine supply we had. and the supply wasnt even enough for even my small city. we do not have the infrastructure to manufacture our own vaccines and tests. we were entirely reliant on imports from other countries who Did have the capacity to manufacture such things

i got up early for several days straight to go to a pop up walk in vaccination site (were talking there by 7:30am) set up in a fucking public basketball court because it was the only way to get vaccinated, and 3 times i had to go back empty handed so to speak after exposing myself to this massive opportunity for transmission because they fucking ran out of shots and prioritized the elderly and disabled and i didnt have my legal pwd (person with disability) card yet. i had to go to a different barangay (local unit of government) to get my shot MONTHS LATER and only got mine because one of my family was in the local govt and reserved some shots for us.

many filipinos use facebook which is where some of the psyop was conducted because you can use it for free on your phone and it is often where news is disseminated. i know we have that joke about People Believing Anything They See On Facebook but i cannot stress enough that people here get local news from fb the same way you (used to) get news from twitter about shit like localized emergencies and whatnot.

because we are third world, you know that the state of our education system is nothing compared to the states. media and news literacy here is dangerously low and the population is sensitive to mis/disinformation, as can be seen during the 2022 presidential elections where the usa Also interfered lol. i cannot stress enough how much of the population was susceptible to this psyop, especially those in poverty who couldnt afford proper education. hell, even educated people fell for this shit. do you think jhunjhun who didnt finish grade 6 would be able to identify disguised foreign intervention that was in his own language?

we were already recovering from public scrutiny of a different vaccine, a dengue vaccine, which lowered public trust in inoculation. and then the usa goes and does THIS??? i cannot emphasize enough that they are directly responsible for the tens and thousands of unvaccinated covid deaths. they are responsible for my friends having to bury their unvaxxed parents and grandparents at the age of 19. they are responsible for mass death and disability.

but were just a country in the periphery. so who cares about us? our lives are worthless to the usa, which is why they admitted that they did this when they would otherwise "never" to their own population. third worlders arent real people to your government. we are merely statistics and a petri dish for experimentation. so who cares if we die? the real important thing isnt our lives, its that the usa has more control over us than china.

downside of someones player character having explicit hierarchical authority over the rest of the party is that sometimes he tries to use it
