V-coding is big business and this is just considered part of their cultural model to punish "the undesirables" out of existence.

i have been doing a deep dive into the Rolling Stone / Eastern Oregon datacenter water story, and... as far as i can tell, no named source other than the corrupt republican county commissioner who was turned out of office because he was _responsible_ for the nitrate spraying mentioned Amazon at all.

Cisgender women keep winning and confirming that all this hatred and exclusion of trans people is almost solely the domain of morally reprehensible men (a techbro owns this league).
This wouldn't even be a gendered hobby if certain men weren't incredibly creepy about women wanting to take part.

one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it
Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...
ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner:
"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

A transbian version of Aurelia or Midnight Castle Succubus would be my ideal erotic game.
Basically I need a game with good actual gameplay for its genre, well thought out erotica, and to have it be more lesbian-gazey (trans-lesbian ideally, but not 100% required).

There have been weak attempts to do this for a couple years, here and there, random conservatives trying to kick up moral panics about trans women in esports. Never really been successful until now. Props to these ladies. In VTubing “allies” just take the bag if they know it’s agency policy
Kudos for these women for standing up and doing the right thing but they're trying to ban trans women from e-sports now? Absolutely ridiculous.
