this article is the nicest I have ever seen the NYT be about trans people and the gist is mostly "this transgender woman is a Donkey Kong built disgusting freak abomination who nobody will ever respect or love but this driver's license law made them sad" M. Gessen is an obvious transmisogynist.

"scrutiny" is internal investigations, perhaps a demotion or forced leave of absence, perhaps even being made to resign if the caliber of the alleged plagiarism was steep enough. Scrutiny is not being made into a symbol for how Black people are inferior and don't belong in higher education.

He openly describes himself as a race realist, and believes that once enough rich and powerful people are convinced that white people deserve more legal rights than others, there will be a "revolution" and some sort of hypercapitalist ethnic-based plutocracy will take form.

he is a eugenecist, though he finds the word a bit squeamish and often uses the euphemism "heredetarian" instead. His entire career is dedicated to convincing rich and powerful people that white people are genetically superior to others and to reorient culture and law around this supposed "fact"

Does the minor, petty crime of committing plagiarism in academia, a thing that happens all the damn time, sometimes even accidentally, warrant the entire world turning you into an avatar of why Black people are objectively inferior and deserve to wallow in poverty and ignorance like they deserve?

liddlewand.bsky.social @liddlewand.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Even if he was apparently guilty of the accused plagiarism (which according to a 2015 internal review, he wasn't), is there any proportionality of the punishment to the crime? This is cutting off an arm for taking a loaf of bread level barbarity.

Beyond that, that's not even the story here. This was a racist, white supremacist mob attacking a man because he was Black. There is no other way of looking at this story. Period. It is the only reason this happened and was the core motivation behind this social murder.

A Cambridge Professor allegedly being somewhat of a fabulist is not newsworthy. It is not exactly an occupation that attracts people who aren't prone to gloating, it's a fancy title from the world's most prestigious university. It's probably pretty hard to find a professor without a bit of an ego.

I finally went and actually read this and wow holy shit this is not "deeply humane", having never read their writing or heard of them before it plainly comes through in the article that M. Gessen is a rank transmisogynist. And somehow this is still the nicest I've seen the NYT be about trans people.

Somehow I think the guy who runs an entire blog whose purpose is to convince "elites" to embrace race realism with posts that are thousands of words long and openly identifies as a race realist (yet seems squeamish about identifying as a eugenecist, often calling it 'heredetarianism') doesn't mind

Nathan Cofnas is someone who wants to be a "professor of race sciences and eugenics" and loudly bragged about hounding a Black man into suicide. @support.bsky.team do literally anything. This guy is a murderer.

No matter what you do in life you’ll always be a cowardly racist scumbag. Wishing you a long miserable existence contemplating what a sad worse-than-useless waste of air your pathetically small and pointless life has been. Everyone who’s ever bullied you has been correct. It’s a shame you were born.

hey @jamellebouie.net how's that mission to fix the paper from the inside going because it seems to have advanced from wanting to kill all trans people to wanting to kill random overseas black people in academia

Sure is cool you guys ran an entire editorial on this by violent genocidaire bigot Jesse Singal last week hot dog suit ass publication, you should all [redacted for TOS] yourselves if you had any honor or morality

I honestly think 7 being peak and the first one the overseas got may have set too high a standard for the series and they should've given us 6 instead which is kinda straight ass so the bar for the franchise was set low

oh and also Banjo-Kazooie's soundtrack is awful. Grant Kirkhope is a genius and has done great work but this annoying Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog cartoon ass OST is grating and stupid. Nobody listens to Looney Tunes wacky ass chase music for pleasure and it doesn't fit 20 minute long levels.

That middle era of 3D video games where developers were just figuring out the tricks to making huge expansive environments was utterly nightmarish. Rare made the biggest longest ass most boring and empty meandering levels just to prove that they could because now they had the technology to.

liddlewand.bsky.social @liddlewand.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Yooka-Laylee receiving a mixed to negative reception is baffling to me because that game is literally exactly as good as Banjo-Kazooie. Rare's 3D platformers were bad games and there's a reason the collectathon genre died out for a long time.

the Dawn of War 1 Anniversary Collection goes on sale on Steam often for like... 3 bucks. The standalone expansion Dark Crusade is the real star of the show, a delightful fun and cheesy RTS game with iconic voice acting and a campaign structure with a ton of replay value.

liddlewand.bsky.social @liddlewand.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

This isn't even getting into games that were/are technically on other platforms but usually considered vastly superior on Gamecube due to how weak the PS2 hardware was like Tales of Symphonia, Timesplitters 2+3, Viewtiful Joe, the 3D Sonic games, or games that were just really popular at the time.

liddlewand.bsky.social @liddlewand.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Also, ZERO third party Gamecube exclusives! Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2, the Harvest Moon Games, Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes, no Factor 5 Star Wars, Gotcha Force, Bomberman, BILLY HATCHER, Skies of Arcadia Legends, even less liked games like PN.03, Megaman Network Transmission would be worth adding.

liddlewand.bsky.social @liddlewand.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

I mean there's no Melee, Air Ride, any of the Mario Parties, Custom Robo, Doshin The Giant, Pikmin 1+2, Battallion Wars, has Pokemon XD but not Colosseum(?), Eternal Darkness, only one Zelda, several Mario games (Double Dash,baseball, tennis, golf), Starfox Adventures or Assault!

Maybe Gessen should put some thought in about why in every SCOTUS decision where they destroy transgender rights, all the Republican Justices repeatedly cite the New York Times.

yes actually. You can't just take money from a publication that has dedicated its entire existence to the complete extinction of transgender people and pretend you're not a transphobe or an active participant in the genocide.

liddlewand.bsky.social @liddlewand.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

on the plus side, while I dislike the "puriteen" phenomena when it comes to art, it is still probably actually a net good thing that Gen Z has taken up MeToo and seems alert and avoiding the exploitation and SA of women which let's be real was a major reason for all the partying in the first place.

between the ruined economy, the surveillance state, COVID, and some (maybe good) cultural norm changes yeah kids these days seem to have it rough and I don't doubt they don't party like others used to I mean listen to the fucking modern music all the pop is women mumbling about how sad they are

XII was the first FF I fully just gave up on "playing" because I realized that I was doing chores and homework while just walking into mobs with the left analog stick while the game played itself also the story sucks, Matsuno's "mature" political stories are overrated meandering tripe

liddlewand.bsky.social @liddlewand.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Nah you're right Devil May Cry 4 is totally overrated. Yeah the game has probably the highest skill ceiling of any action game ever made but also the movesets are terrible and the enemies are plain annoying and unfun to fight and the campaign sucks and is unfinished.

liddlewand.bsky.social @liddlewand.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

it is a hilarious bit to drop the game right before what is universally regarded as one of the best dungeons in video game history and the point where the game actually hits its stride

I understand it revived the fighting game genre and was the first major online fighting game but come the fuck on people, an entire new word (plinking) was invented and it's a term for what amounts to basically tricking the game's shitty controls into working.
