Surprisingly no bingo, but my narrative isn't exactly typical.

A "Teenage [Trans] Girl Dysphoria bingo card" with several spots of typical patterns of dysphoric patterns of trans women in their teens.

I check off 12 spaces, but not in a pattern that got me a bingo.

Trans people and furries when the politicians calling for trans genocide and demonizing furries inevitably ask those same communities to fix the internet when they end up breaking it for good.

Speaking as a trans person, this is what I predict the community response will be to every politician who is pushing for our genocide asking us to fix the digital infrastructure they inevitably break.

Fucking hell liberals tire me the fuck out. This whole bullshit implies two incorrect things. 1. That people are in competition for who counts as a victim of fascism. 2. That the "wrong" victim speaking up "drags down" people toward fascism that much faster.

From RitzCat (@mbalax.bsky.social)

Well, “we will drag you all down with us”, when lots of folks are facing even more danger today than the trans community is from Talarico Dems (how about those being held in concentration camps, sent to Eswatini or Gitmo, or killed by ICE?), is kind of being an asshole according to my worldview.

With alt text This too is one of the effects of reactionary culture wars and a broader effort of what I call "cultural gentrification."

A quote post on Tumblr screenshoting what I thing is the bird site.

"Has anyone else noticed how successive governments' wars on teenagers, homeless people and other "undesirables" have left us with basically zero public seating"

Behind that is a picture of a public area where pretty much everyone is being forced to sit on the floor.

Underneath on the tumblr post, a follow on says "Or water fountains, public washrooms, outdoor tables, etc[sic], etc"

This is what my mean brains always do to me. The worst part, because of how intense the demand for low access cost socailization and sticking to familiarity is, it's no longer an unreasonable fear, just an extrapolation of the already existing cultural tendencies in an anti-community world.

What do anti-trans trolls and AI slop have in common? An utter lack of creativity and delivering the same canned lines over and over again.

This is a generic transphobic troll who goes by the handle "Polar Axis" (@glaciernorth.bsky.social).

Me: This feels like the response to every accurate claim that cis people get hormonal treatment just like trans people do.

Turns out these chucklefucks hate that just as much, they just needed trans people to be the blood sacrifice to justify going after this.

---

"Polar Axis" (the asshole troll): "Cis" people get hormone treatment to treat medical issues, trans people take it due to an abstract idea they have about themselves in their head. There is a difference

With alt text. This isn't normal, this is a product of late stage capitalism specifically inducing conditions of extreme alienation and isolation, relegating the proletariat to little more then glorified industrial equipment. Form the eyes of those in power, a personal life is a form of theft.

From "brittlepredatordemon" on what I assume to be Tumblr.

"Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and[sic] marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think it means something is deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost

I doubt the people behind this game understood the implications this makes given it was made by an indie Japanese studio. However I would kindly suggest they re-consider the game's name, especially since it's a top-down shooter.

Honestly I suspect a lot of those folks can be summed up by this screenshot from one of my favorite games.

From Tactics Ogre (PSP remake). The Dark Knight Lancelot (aka "Lans Tartare," IYKYK) is looking down away from the person once recently tortured (outside the cropped screenshot).

In this picture he says "People are drawn to power, drawn toward safety. They will betray even their most beloved to obtain it-"

This sums up the mind of the everyday reactionary. The one who gets weirdly dick-bent about affordable food because a brown man did it. The ones who conceded (disturbingly quickly) to having their kids genitals inspected to enforce "gender normalcy." Lancelot Tartaros sums up all of them here.

Image with alt text (as best I can, I don't know the formal names of these outfits). Kaneeka is by far my favorite character in Scarlett Hollow, and she deserves all the love.

Kaneeka from Scarlet Hollow, a slightly bigger Black goth girl in her 20s. She is wearing near-knee-high boots, a black skirt that goes down to her shins with a hole in the side showing her legs, stockings (judging by how the shade of her skin is a bit darker on her legs, an open jacket that shows midriff, a bra that seems corset-tied in the front, a chain belt with a bat pendant hanging down, a choker, her glasses, and a round brimmed hat.

All of her clothing is black. Her hair is black and a sort of dull red like fallen leaves in autumn, and is braided togetehr.

There are two pictures of her with this outfit. One she is drinking some drink she got from a convenience store or fast food joint (presumably from the local diner). The other she is gently reaching for a Persona-3 butterfly.
