takes like these show such an immense lack of any attempt at meaningful understanding of transmasculine perspectives and experiences that it genuinely makes my head hurt. like you do realize there is a difference between not FEELING pressured to do something, and not EXPERIENCING pressure to do something, right? of course you do, but you read a few personal posts about transmascs experiencing euphoria and made a bad faith generalization on our entire social position.

sure, transmascs may feel less pressure to be attractive as personal affirmation of our masculinity. but a misogynistic society at large still continues to pressure us to be attractive and feminine. of course it is born from misogyny, but like we have been screaming for YEARS, we are still affected by misogyny.

a huge proponent of the targeted violence towards us is demonizing the effects of physical transition- about how transitioning makes us ugly (which OOP directly contributes to in this post) and ruins our value in womanhood to the potential men who want to fuck and marry and impregnate us. trans men are correctively assaulted to feminize us, largely because our oppressors see us as "deviant women who must be fixed by forcing us back into femininity, and eventually beauty." there is a literal book titled "irreversible damage" that outlines how we are "coerced into destroying our beautiful fertile bodies."

i have heard countless stories of transmascs seeking physical transition who were equally denied, because a psychiatrist deemed them as currently attractive women in their prime, who must have their value to the patriarchy preserved at all costs.

and ultimately, if despite all of this, we continue to reject white supremacist feminine beauty standards and find joy in our transition, a misogynist society that believes we have no value outside our current or potential attractiveness thinks we would be better off dead, lest we tempt other women to abandon ship.

transmascs are not your enemies! we are not experiencing wildly different things! i promise you that trans people across the spectrum will always have far more shared experiences than unique ones!

i am reaching out my hand to you, so we can stand taller and stronger against the white supremacist patriarchal pressure placed upon us both. will you reach back and grab it, or push me to the ground in an attempt to escape and save yourself?

the "should the veil come down" poll is fascinating bc people have such strong opinions that it shouldn't, but like

it was, crumbling and in shambles and about to release the blight at any moment throughout all the games... forget the ethical issues of whether the spirits would be better off without it. it's precariously held up by pure luck of "the grey wardens have not yet killed the last two archdemons despite wanting to really badly" alone. something Would have to be done to it!

veilguard's "solution" is actually insane - hinging the entire thing on:

putting solas, already badly injured, into solitary confinement for [unknown immortal lifespan amount of years] and hoping that doesn't... kill him at any point...? obligatory reminder that it is considered a form of torture, and has terrible physical and mental health effects. it is not only very cruel, but also objectively bizarre to expect someone to just remain alive in there indefinitely without problems.

hoping solas can soothe the blight. by himself. with his notoriously charming personality, and how much the titans must love him for being involved in their plight. let's be real, this guy did not manage to even soothe the dalish when he met them the first time, and they're much more similar to him than "vengeful detached souls of entire land masses". better hope he doesn't piss them off more, or just get blighted in there, and then also die? or get turned into a new voice for the blight and start calling people into the black city to open it again?

hoping that everyone immediately stops having the trait of hubris. tevinter went and broke into the black city back when it was fully defended and the veil was at its strongest - now the entire veil is held up by One Elf? 3563 evil magisters are probably dousing themselves in blood to get there again. alternatively, they would just be trying to kill solas specifically as a remnant of arlathan/Evil Elven God™️/to prove they can do it. and he's significantly more killable than the other evanuris.

the funniest black comedy option is, of course, if rook triumphantly stabs solas and shoves him into the veil, and then... midway through the end credits, the veil collapses. bc as solas said many times, he is not actually a god, and if stabbed by The Lyrium Dagger That Kills Evanuris, after already sustaining some injuries that he didn't seem capable of healing, he probably would just bleed out offscreen.

I feel you should know my wife and I genuinely always call it the Evil Penis Music now and we do so even in the middle of completely serious sentences / plot discussion where we aren't joking. That's just what it's called now.

Evil Penis Music infiltrates another household.

ok. describe in detail a list of the personal style decisions that are "sacrificial to men" and therefore Bad Feminism, and then a separate list of "ethical" personal style decisions that are empowering. then justify every item on the first list by defining how the subjective environmental effects (ie, not getting fired for a bullshit reason when it's really because you had pit hair and it made your shitty boss, a man, uncomfortable, so you just shaved your armpits instead of getting fired and becoming homeless) are not defensible choices because the math doesnt work out. show your work

for extra credit do this same assignment again but the hypothetical subject is a sex worker with two children

i have such mixed feelings about the idea of “moving in privacy”. i think there are seasons for it (certainly your late 20s/saturn return you will probably desire retreat for a while, or any time you feel uncertain). at the same time, moving in public with a thoughtful personal brand can be an incredible, powerful, and easy way to bring connection and opportunities to you. sometimes i think all this “disappear and move in privacy” talk is just a symptom of poor boundaries and rebranding the fear of being vulnerable… but if you can figure out boundaries and overcome the fear of actually being recognised for your gifts and strengths, well, the world is literally your oyster.

The hauler bot move in Rapport kinda supports the theory that ART actually manipulated herded Murderbot onto itself in the beginning of Artificial Condition:

(it could even have played an old newsburst in order to rattle MB into leaving the ring asap but that might be a stretch…)

(…or not? Could the newsburst just be another form of transmission it monitors, or even fucks with for fun? idk. who knows what happens when it’s bored out of its galactic mind on cargo runs)
