Honestly Elpis taught us that nobody in Amaurot cares about the rules and nobody follows them unless they want to. We were shown a rigid society in Shadowbringers and then shown the blatant disregard for that rigidity in Endwalker. Lots of interesting things about Amaurot without making them bigots.

Amaurot be like: Different hair color? Ok. Different gender? Ok. Different sexuality? Ok. Different outfit? JAIL FOR 1000 YEARS.

"I think Amaurot would have been a homophobic society." Meanwhile, Sappho herself is just hanging out in Elpis.

4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: Slutty Witch walks through a supermarket on her phone, her black cat Lord Nibbles at her feet. The vampire remarks, "Looks like everyone's a witch nowadays." Lord Nibbles jumps in his shopping cart. Panel 2: The vampire pushes the shopping cart with the cat inside and says to the witch "You should be glad. Witches are cool now." Panel 3: The vampire happily says, "Just like sucking people off is cool now, too!" Panel 4: Lord Nibbles in the cart looks mortified. "You've GOT to stop calling it that."

a friend was streaming the eden raids on discord and that slight text distortion... i almost laughed out loud, which would have been confusing.
A screenshot of dialogue from FFXIV. The text, from the character Mitron, is supposed to read: "Oh, Loghrif, how long has it been... How long have I dreamed of this day." Unfortunately the word "dreamed" looks like it starts with a C.

I think a lot of the people doing this are trying to hide their shitty opinions behind claims that it's meant to discourage trans men from medical transition. It's very much not. It's meant to reassure the same people they hate.

So if you feel like a trans person said something dumb/untrue, you're probably right.

jack @vesaldi.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
It is actually really important for trans people to remember that other trans people can be assholes, because I think we get ourselves stuck on this idea that every trans person is an expert on transness and they must be speaking the truth, and often neither of those things are true.

jack @vesaldi.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I have to remind myself sometimes that a lot of these really stupid trans men are probably a lot younger than me. Or just assholes. Because trans people are still people, and some people are assholes.

i do too, but as a person with a wildly overdeveloped fight or flight instinct, i can appreciate the disarming power of fear. the heirarchies even among men are complex and ridiculous.

Watching the newer seasons of GBBO is such a different experience because Paul Hollywood has actually gotten, dare I say it, quite nice to the bakers? And not even just nice, but encouraging. It's like everyone called him an asshole and he took it seriously.

I cannot express how hard I laughed when I discovered that Merlin — yes THAT Merlin (sort of) — was consorting with a vampire. I need more games to pick weird IPs to adapt so we can have more Merlin/vampire-ish situations.

I've been thinking for YEARS about how hard certain people push the most inflammatory language they can to make as many people as scared as possible. I still have a lot of thoughts about it, but I did appreciate you giving us a reason to breathe the other day.

I became obsessed with Mara Jade, and I think that was probably my earliest big hint that I was not quite the cishet girl I thought I was. Of course I didn't understand that and ignored it for about 18 more years. Looking back, I get to have the fun "ohhhhhhhh" moment we all love so much.

I didn't read it when it was brand new (mostly because I was 5 years old) but I did start reading Star Wars novels at around 9. IIRC I got to this one in my Junior High years, so probably between 11-13, and it was formative to say the least.

I don't think it's exaggeration to say this specific book series changed my young life and I wouldn't be who I am today without it. *pulls out a foam finger that says Mara Jade is #1*

Yikes, you have to decide whether she just did this on purpose, or if she used an LLM that hallucinated it. Not a single good option in the room.
A screenshot of a portion of the article in the quoted post. It reads:

Her litany of errors in 2026 includes deadnaming and misgendering a competing trans journalist who broke a story for one of her competitors! This was seven months ago, and the deadname is still up as of writing. 

This wasn’t just any story. It was Nate Zuke’s first article that we can find. Many of you have already read it: ‘She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway.’

It was excellent reporting; arguably one of the most important trans news stories written by a trans journalist this year. 

And it was Erin Reed who deadnamed him to her audience of hundreds of thousands.

Gently grabbing my fellow trans men by the face and reminding them that a woman reacting to news about a woman who was raped by mentioning that tons of women have been raped is NOT the same as saying only women have been raped and is NOT erasing rape victims of other genders. Take a breath.
