I’m a 20 year gaming industry veteran and a life long gamer since the late 80’s. I both love and hate what interactive entertainment has become over the last 10 years.

Our tech billionaire overlords love fiction, especially science fiction, while completely missing the point. From building real-life dystopias to ignoring the warnings in their favorite books, here is how Silicon Valley fundamentally misunderstands fiction. youtu.be/QGIfTJx-VoI

If you count yourself an ally, this is basically the trans community invoking article 5 of the alliance with cis straight people. Call this number and leave a message. Tell your friends. Voice your unacceptability of throwing trans people to the wolves. We *need* you. Voting democrat isn’t enough.

The Ohio Democratic Party is repeatedly deleting criticism of Marcy Kaptur, who has released an ad calling transgender people an “ideology” that should be banned in schools. Still think Dems can’t become Labour?

Maybe it's because I was 12 when a guy a couple of towns over beat someone to death at a hockey practice for 10-year-olds, but I actually don't think you want to make these kinds of people an important part of your coalition! I'll take the six trans shotputters on Earth over these guys every time.

🦇 You want a real compromise from trans people? Promise to restore all the rights we had in 2014 that we don't today. That's it. Just bring us back to where we were. That's the bare fucking minimum. You know what I don't see any libs offering us? The rights that have been taken from us restored.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Gay marriage was a new right that we lgbtq people were fighting for back then. Trans healthcare, sports, gender marker changes, etc have been around for years, decades in some instances. This is like a dem coming out NOW and opposing gay marriage in 2026.

“Rowling demands empathy while offering none. She mourns threats to her own safety while dismissing, minimizing, or outright mocking the safety concerns of trans women. She paints disagreement as persecution, disagreement from women she made famous, no less.” www.tvfandomlounge.com/stop-telling...

This is *not* a culture war, it’s a prologue to genocide. A coordinated campaign to erase us from society, and our world. Being trans isn’t a cultural practice, its just a kind of human. We are waging a war to harm a select outgroup of humans that have verifiably harmed no one.

Gamepass never should’ve been free day one games. (Which ended up killing their business and several Studios) It should have been access to hundreds and hundreds of two year or older games stretching back to the original Xbox era. Along with discount codes for new games and early access / demos.

Reactionary centrist pundits are begging Democrats to abandon transgender people. Under Starmer, Labour did that... with trans people suffering more under their rule than even under conservative governments. And it was all for nothing. Dems must not make Starmer's mistake. Read my latest.

Nuanced and thoughtful, it almost goes without saying that Anthony Stewart Head's portrayal of Giles was pivotal to a generation of Watchers. Beyond Buffy, Head's resume was a masterclass of performance across an enviable list of films and TV. Truly a loss. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Having a rich politician be your representative is like having your Airliner Pilot fly the plane remotely. They have no idea how the turbulence feels and are not *nearly* as invested in landing the plane safely as you are.

My game of the year *last year* was Silent Hill F. It had compelling and relatable themes around societal/gender expectations. As well as the comforting, simplistic, facade of relationships in your youth melting down and being replaced by nuance and difficult choices. This years GoTY for me…

From what I’ve been able to gather from interviews, and the source material itself… Dave Chappelle was just angry that it seemed like the trans rights movement was moving faster than the black rights movement. If you know anything about the state of the trans rights movement… Aged like milk.

No. Trans people won’t start peeing on the floor. They’ll either get arrested or leave the state. It’s not a distraction. They really do hate us and want us gone and it’s the main event. The reaction will be assault or arrest. There. Now you know.

The legal erasure and professional exclusions that Germany implemented in 1933-1935 have rough analogues to what’s happening at the federal level right now for trans people.
