Abusers love it when their victims are silenced.

They've thought that for a while. I recall seeing that kind of shit back on Twitter.
They'd probably short circuit if faced with gender neutral names. Could be fun to watch.

Not sure there's any implying involved. They're screaming it every chance they get.

I actually just started my first blind playthrough.
Wasn't even something I was trying to avoid watching I just kinda forgot about it until recently.

I agree. If only it were so easy to do.

There is a lot to unpack here and I'm not sure I want to.
His brain is cooked and can't even blame AI use for it (though I'm sure that's making it worse) since he's been this way for a while.

I vote MB. But I live here so I'm biased.
Though of course I hope you don't end up having to flee.

I had something simple happen. A stich broke and it caused a fair bit of bleeding. It can happen to anyone. It sucked to fix while awake.
It doesn't mean the surgery is unsafe. It just means it's a surgery like every other one out there.

And even then it's a bit iffy since the 'laws of physics' are just based on current understanding.

Every single one of them. They all have the view of what people are 'meant to be' which can only come about if you think that there is a force out there with intent that can affect biology.
Nature and evolution do not have intent.

OSA says "It's okay to censor things we find inappropriate" and now you're upset that someone else with power thinks something is inappropriate?
Yes the misogyny has always been here but OSA swung the doors wide open for misogynists to do more harm.
This was predicted, and predictably ignored.

I'm pretty sure if anyone saw my notes they'd have no idea how I went from "Weird ass vague idea" to finished book.
I don't think some of my ideas would make for very good stories. But they're a good basis to build one from.

All positions of power should require term limits.
Cops, judges, and politicians are easy of course. But I also think even things like managers and CEOs should be limited.

Amazing how it's taken ages and untold dead trans people for cis people to finally react to our plight... and oh they're going after a totally unrelated thing.

Your proposal targets a single route among many for people to be radicalized into hatred. While cutting off an avenue of communication that many may rely on.
So you wont save anyone. And you'll hurt extra people. But it's a shiny thing you can point to and say "Look at me, I'm helping." 👍

I never knew about this, but it makes a lot of sense.
I honestly can't understand why the approach to "I don't understand" is to guess or skip it. Especially when "Look it up so you can learn" is right there.

Uh huh sure. You just spread vitriol and stoke fear about a minority because you hope that everyone gets along.

My brain read is as Gordon Ramsay at first and I got very confused. Though I think the insults could be interesting.
