Man, I had been having fun playing Absolum until I made it to the sun king and I just am so tired of roguelite bosses that break all the established fight rules. I hate the feeling of having a 40 minute run end on trying to learn completely new game mechanics in a few panicked seconds

Aaron posted a list of messages from users he blocked and hmmmmm it seems like "enjoy the camps" is only okay when it's against trannies
a bunch of messages with the middle highlighted one being "hope you enjoy being tortured to death in concentration camps!"

one such example. that sure is a bad expression! i hate that sentence! what if it was always bad for people to say, such as when it is said to trans people!!!!!????? this website is a clown show but all my friends are here so it's impossible to say whether it's good or bad. Ah well. Nevertheless.

Saying you can threaten trans people with camps? That’s fine. Telling the hard of trust and safety that there’s been an uptick in this behavior and telling him he’s to blame? Verboten, you’re suspended. Fuck this platform.

Are they threatening trans users directly?
No. Trans folks in the US have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and you have my sympathy.
Within the context of a single post we wouldn't consider it a direct threat or targeting a protected category. le send trans folks to concentration camps.

This would have been a worthwhile article if Cross at any point acknowledged that there might be some secret third option other than 'this is fine' and 'panic' (which is a very dismissive term and should be used carefully).

Should have known Jesse Signal would rescue the Needle from their shoddy, grudge-driven work and lack of audience. I saw it yesterday and found it extremely unconvincing. Figured it would flop, forgetting transphobes would find it and pretend it's more than grievance and speculation.

A lot of constructive criticism of trans reporting that leans too much into fear has been coopted by certain liberals who have decided that encouraging trans people to pressure liberal politicians, hospitals, and so on is somehow fearmongering. Denial of reality is more dangerous than exaggeration.

quote with your favorite pic from 2025 (that you’re wiling to share on main)
A trans flag is projected onto a cinder block wall. A shadow of a person looking up and flexing their right arm covers part of the flag. The bicep, delt, and forearm look solid thick and tight. Head looks normal.

when people got angry with the team for unjustifably banning a trans rape victim, why did Aaron Rodericks think this response was anything close to okay? four months before claiming it's ok to tell trans people to "enjoy the camps" bsky.app/profile/rita...
Aaron Rodericks: "When users are suspended for harassment or abusive behavior, some immediately claim the action was taken because of their identity. It becomes a way to avoid accountability for conduct that violated the rules. Yet, your identity does not give you a free pass to harass others on the internet."

Third Way's narrative seems to be that Republicans have gotten more extreme while trans advocates have moderated. I don't agree that trans people were too extreme or that we've moderated besides being sidelined in the debate over our own lives, but if that's how they want to save face, okay.

No, they haven't. Given the number of trans athletes in the United States (Less than 10 in the NCAA) their 2,300 number is absurd. However, most importantly trans women (because we know that's who they're talking about) haven't stolen any medals from any women, because trans women are women.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming
