The comorbidity of neo-Nazism and transphobia isn't just a kind of "one bad belief leads to all bad beliefs". At its core, it's the same belief: belief in a rigid societal order where your station at birth determines your future, your role, and how you must labor.
A belief in biodestiny, in short.

Today, I examine how the boundaries of the Nation are co-constituted by race, disability, and sexuality, but also---notably---gender and control over reproduction.
And ask everyone to stop saying transfeminism is 'imperialist'. For fuck's sake.

What if shoving angry bees up your ass is the only way to cure male pattern baldness? What if that, huh? Did you ever think of that? Bet you feel stupid for telling me not to shove angry bees up your ass now. This could be the disruption the hair care industry needs!

while industry figures, dressed to the nines, filtered into LA's peacock theater last week, protesters chanted "the industry is dead" outside of it. despite how often geoff keighley says the game awards exist to "celebrate" games and the people who make them, many feel ignored
!["We are the ones who poured our blood, sweat, tears, sanity, and health into these games,” shouted one who paid tribute to a friend who’d just passed, who he said loved video games and hated corporate exploitation. “The ones who made the games are outside. [Bosses and executives] are inside patting themselves on the back. ... And what was our reward? Many of us were cast aside as soon as the products were created because we weren't needed anymore. And those who were lucky enough to stay [now] find themselves debugging ChatGPT code."
Some present had direct personal experience with the video game industry’s current layoff-centric strategy. Earlier this year, Timothy Staton-Davis, who attended the protest dressed in a grim reaper cloak and holding a plastic scythe, was part of a small round of layoffs at Brass Lion Entertainment, which is currently working on Wu-Tang: Rise Of The Deceiver.
“There were a few of us they had to let go of because of monetary issues,” Staton-Davis told Aftermath. “It’s their first game. They’re trying to pull through. They’ve been negatively affected by the current industry situation in a lot of ways because of mismanagement of money. It’s not the studio’s fault, but from our partners and all that kind of stuff.”
“My first studio gig was at Monolith,” he continued. “Now they’re gone. Unfairly so. All these studios I’ve been connected to have been negatively affected in some way, shape, or form by people not doing the right things with their money and taking advantage of folks.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreifyv7erpamrntagfmpqwndofhftfpiszgguefbunyy6iyz6dhavxy@jpeg)

This has a LOT to do with the internet crackdown.
Someone misses being able to control the narrative.
But when people have a taste of what freedom feels like, it's a lot more difficult to put us back in our cage.

I believe the Section 230 repeal is a very serious attempt for one simple reason: Gaza
US politicians are desperate to control the free flow of information online after the role social media played in activism around the genocide
The status quo on Israel has been threatened, senators are scared

It's infuriating beyond reason seeing so many people that are otherwise anti-fascist or leftist be extremely puritanical towards anything remotely NSFW.
Labeling everyone with even a little bit of a libido a degenerate gooner 100% helps fascist censorship.

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI
The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage
This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

Because they don’t actually care that people hate it.
They only care that it’s still detectable.
They’ll keep doing this until people either don’t notice or don’t complain enough for it to be a problem, then move forward with it.
That’s the whole purpose of manufactured consent. It’s “training”.

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

Remember that vote we were promised?
The one that finally convinced Democrats to CAVE to the administration, AFTER already committing to a government shutdown long enough that SNAP benefits expired & people actually ran out and began to starve?
Americans knew this would be the outcome from Day 1.

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.
