I've been trying to find the polite way to say "hey absolutely we should be alarmed about the targeting of trans people but we also should also talk about how cis and trans PoC are the targets in mind bc the people who think trans women aren't women also think WoC in general aren't women"
Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

I look at things like tonight's events and I think a lot about my very liberal friend who, years ago in these same political scenarios/setups would brow beat me about how people like Schumer were necessary for change bc the Mamdanis, the Sanders, the socialists were asking for "too much, too fast."

“I do so much”
Yeah you do and you never shut up about it. So that you never get held accountable for the fact you INVENT people on your head to be accountable or influential over
Rather than actually deal with your material affect on people right now

Getting real tired of hearing/reading about how "it's just that the decision(s) are so hard, we work so hard, we don't want to do this, it's for the good of the company, it was no easy decision"---
Your decisions impact people.
They impact people's employment, morale, well-being, etc.
Shut up.

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

if you go through the historical game studies record, you'll find attempts to strictly define games (generally around "goals" or "struggle") to be entwined with systemic racism, imperialism, and the enshrinement 19th/20th century patriarchal values
for games its especially important to understand the legacy of what games have historically been called not-games (i.e those made by non-men) and that when you call a game "not a game" youre building on that affect; its the equivalent of calling art "degenerate"

So yea if the only time you actively engage and promote Black people is when you talk to Black people--
And you don't extend that to your work--
You don't get to be upset when Black people call the lack of consistency out.

Sometimes when people expose their racism the way I keep myself from being surprised or angry is I visualize it happening in really ridiculous ways
Like I just imagine someone says some really asinine shit and the words are forming like the girl from the Ring and crawling out of their face

What an honor to be asked to do interstitials and be unhinged for this event. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported 🤎
And even bigger thank you to the staff and runners that made it possible. This wouldn't have happened without your unwavering dedication.

I believe the morning sun
Is always gonna shine again and
I believe a pot of gold
Waits at every rainbow's end
I believe in roses kissed with dew
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
Thank you everyone for tuning into Games Done Queer. What an incredible event.

Hey so if you see events, activations, or other things that you would otherwise support/uplift
But you make a conscious choice not to because you won't get all the recognition or there is exactly one person involved you don't like, you're weird! You're fucking weird!
