My reading of the Jacob Geller situation is that a lot of people accept his apology bc they relate to feeling like they crossed a line with a partner in the past (even if not nearly as bad) and they want to feel like there is some sort of redemption from that sin. Shocked this hasn’t been discussed

Here's something I don't get. If you like e-celeb and they turn out to be awful and you commiserate about it, no one bats an eye. But if you dislike them and you post that one image, it's ghoulish? Why? What makes a positive parasocial relationship any more respectful to the victims?

The "social contagion" thing drives me screaming angry. When I was young I had no clue trans ppl existed. I'd never met anyone trans. I saw cruel caricatures in pop culture occasionally. When I realized trans was a thing someone could be, it hit like a lightning bolt. My life felt newly possible.

I respect you deeply as a designer but I hate this statement and the sentiment that it holds. Because on a fundamental level, to believe that a game should try to or is even able to accommodate every possible player is to assume that all design is mutable and that personal taste is nonexistent.

I hate to do this but I'm drowning and reaching out for help is my only choice now. Explanation w/ Alt text in the screenshots. If you want to help out an impoverished trans woman stay off the street and have the means to do so, I'll be so grateful💛🏳️‍⚧️ paypal.me/NicholasJabb... cash.app/$JulietStMoon

@everyone **PLEASE READ THIS NOTIFICATION BEFORE DISMISSING**

I absolutely loathe to do this, but I need some financial help and I'm out of options. Here are my pay links in order of preference. Any amount that you are willing to give without putting yourself in financial danger helps. Following below will be an explanation:
* https://paypal.me/NicholasJabbour
* https://cash.app/$JulietStMoon

Some of you know I lost my job back in June due to what was effectively legalized discrimination against me based on illness and my transness in a Southern state. The timing couldn't be worse because I was already financially slipping and struggling to find a cheaper apartment to alleviate the strain. And on top of that, I just couldn't find work at all for over a month. No one in the South was willing to hire a trans woman, let alone with a wage high enough to pay my bills and feed me.

As a desperate gambit, I withdrew what little 401K deposit I had and moved up north to a state that, if nothing else, wouldn't be actively hostile to my existence. With the hopes that I could weather the initial instability, find a job and housing, and eventually settle in.

It has now been a month since I moved. My money is completely gone and I have neither long term housing nor a job despite my best efforts. My bank account is in the negative, I'm drowning in debt that's been building for years, I have multiple unpaid bills that absolutely need to be paid for my own safety and sustainability, and I need food and medication, of which I have neither. And this airbnb I rented for a month (which is absolutely bare minimum; I don't even have kitchen access outside the microwave and fridge) runs out on the 24th.

(Please continue)

The good news is I did secure 2 job interviews after all this time, one tomorrow for a part time job about 40 minutes from here, and another Tuesday for a more practical full time job in my current town. However as it stands, I literally don't have enough money for gas to get to tomorrow morning's interview, and I absolutely CAN'T miss it as it's the first real callback I got after applying to dozens of jobs, including going door to door in my town. I can make this work, but I NEED to buy more time, and I lack the money to do it. And that's why I'm asking for help.

I appreciate anything anyone can offer more than you can possibly know. Below are rough estimates of how much money I need and when. How far I will continue to need help depends on how quickly I get hired
## Expenses I need paid tonight (2026-09-06)
* $50– Tank of Gas (I'm almost empty and I need get to and from interview tomorrow morning)
* $50– Dinner tonight and meals tomorrow (have not eaten since this morning)
* **$100 total**
## Expenses I need paid by the end of tomorrow (2026-09-07)
* $50– medication that I'm annoyingly running out of all at the exact same time after tomorrow (including my blood pressure meds, which I do not want to risk skipping).
* $100– Grocery shopping (not sure how long this will last, but I'll have time to actually do so and greatly reduce how much money i need to spend on food daily, even if i am limited to the fridge the microwave and I'll be as economical as possible)
* $10– Laundromat and possible cost of street parking as I drive to these interviews (this is a rough estimate; hopefully it'll be less)
* **$160 total**

(Please continue)

## Expenses I ideally need paid by the end of the week (2026-09-12)
* $60– Overdue car insurance payment (it was due the 1st)
* $100– Overdue storage unit (it was also due the 1st and has what few belongings I was able to stuff in my car when I moved. It's out of state and my plan is to pay it off and move all the belongings to a much more local unit that's dramatically cheaper)
* $80– Replace a flat tire (my car is currently on a donut and it's unlikely my flat tire can be patched)
* $150– Get my overdrawn checking and overmaxed credit card back in passable standing
* **$390 total**
## Further expenses throughout the month
I will continue to need money for groceries, though I don't have a number yet. And I'll need money for a place to stay after the 24th (this airbnb was the cheapest I could find in the area and it cost $1139 for a month for context, but I can also rent cheaper shorter term places that will hopefully bridge me over until I get a job started and get myself back a float in general. I have way more expenses and debts to pay including a maxed out credit card and a loan and medical bills, but those can all be pushed back so I rather not put that on you.

Point is, every bit you are willing to help me with AND WITHOUT PUTTING YOURSELF IN FINANCIAL DANGER will be so so helpful to me.

I'm really sorry to ask for help. I hate doing it. I want to be the saint and not the sainted as much as I can help. But I'll try my best to not doom over that and accept whatever you can offer if you wish. Please and thank you so much.

The entire foundation unto which the last 15-20 years of the Western game industry has been built - the simulacrum of a "playable movie", and transforming into a "higher" medium like film - has come crumbling down as its become markedly clear no one involved knows what a *game* even is anymore.

I think people miss out that "gatekeeping" and "quality control" are pretty much the same thing. One has a negative connotation and one positve, but the are functionally the same. So yeah people should "quality control" their communities when needed : )

It's weird to talk about reddit on here because I never do, but if you want an example of what trans women are talking about when it comes to being dismissed and denied by non-women trans and queer people, get on r/asktransgender and scroll for a bit. It's alarming how much patriarchy is centered.

There is also a weird thing with wanting more games to feature diverse viewpoints, then acknowledging indies are doing that, so basically what you want is a big budget game to do what indies are doing... And you gotta give this up.

SFW image. There's info in some boxes that says: "31% of the Laysan Albatross couples on Oahu, Hawaii are female-female pairs (wikipedia). These birds spend most of their lives flying over the sea, but they 're very likely to reunite with the same partner." We see two humanised versions of the bird sitting in their nest with an egg, one kind of straddling the other's lap. The one sitting on the lap says: "so how was the sea??" Her female partner says: "nice... but not nearly as nice as being with you."
