Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading. This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.

"Assume that trans women are gonna be just like cis women unless you have documented, scientifically verified reasons to believe differently" is treated as though it is the single greatest heresy in world of "experts on gender affirming care" and it really gives away the game.

As an additional fun fact, there are 262,000 people who self-identified as trans on the census in 2021 (probably far more in reality given the general level of hostility to trans existence even then).

At some point you have to actually decide you have the conviction to stand up for your own beliefs and refuse to entertain every contrarian out of a misguided sense of impartiality that isn't truly impartial. You have to actually believe you're right to be righteous.

This is the most fundamental fact about advocating for marginalized people that everyone gets wrong. You have to be willing to exclude the people and viewpoints intent on dehumanizing you. Making every "inclusive" space a battleground undermines its own goals.

Have you polled “most people”? Because most people in my mentions are saying they’re pro-abortion, as in favor of or supportive of abortion. I’m pro-choice & pro-abortion. I support choice & I support abortion. The reason that makes you feel squiggy is that shame&abortion go hand in hand for you.

Cruel, pointless, impractical, and ultimately dangerous. The rooms in hospitals which will now be used to offload trans people are often required for clinical reasons ie to treat the immuno-compromised. This is the product of a country that has gone insane. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trans people should use hospital spaces according to biological sex, NHS England says

New guidance says trans patients should be cared for on single-sex hospital wards or bays that align with their biological sex.

There are books and music and plenty of art out there that is also being attacked and censored, but pornography and the artists that produce it are, as a category, being threatened with imprisonment for the content of their work in the UK and the US keeps trying to pass bills that do the same.

But AI has *nothing to do* with digital sovereignty. It is *not* load-bearing. All it takes to understand this is a little thought-experiment. Imagine that we removed all the chatbots from Canada, or the UK, or the EU, or the USA. What would fall down? Nothing important.

Instead of licking the hands of AI companies, the SoA should be bringing about an anthropic-style claim for UK authors. All that stolen work and only US are getting settlements? Not on, and sends a terrible message to local writers.
