It's always so funny to me that people put so much effort into trying to get computers to do the thinking for them to make something. Meanwhile, in my Lancer-adjacent game, one of my players made a quadrupedal mech modeled after a Honda Civic, named him Carson, and gave him self-awareness.

I mean, here's the actual list of 14 characteristics of fascism written by Umberto Eco, who grew up in Mussolini's Italy.
![The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense, Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”
The cult of action for action’s sale. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”
Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture, the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.”
Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”
Appeal to social frustration. “[…] one of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by lower social groups.
The obsession with a plot. “The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is xenophobia.”
The enemy is both weak and strong. “[…] the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.”
Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.”
Everybody is educated to become a hero. “in Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.”
Machismo and Weaponry. “This is the origin of machismo (which implies both disdain for women and intolerance of nonstandard se…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:js3oig7edyfwazxcj3z6kkao/bafkreicoc533oen6s6ewgnpudx4x3d7dclb2vyr7ube55gad35cxbs7feu@jpeg)

Please, for the love of God, if you are on any medications whatsoever, do not take St. John's Wort. You shouldn't take it if you aren't on any medications either, but if you take other medications, you REALLY shouldn't have it in your system.

If you really think bargain-bin self-help schlock is going to make any trans person less trans, then you have made yourself the exact kind of mark that grifters (like the one you're aping right now) make money off of.

Wow, real cutting edge science on that one. If religious texts are fair game, Akkadian texts from at least 1000 years before the book of Genesis was written explicitly depict the creation of a person who could be considered intersex or non-binary depending on specific interpretation.

You can go out and easily get evidence that the Earth isn't flat. A Greek mathematician did that exact thing with two sticks, a time piece and a willingness to travel.
What data do you have that shows that there are only two genders?

For the most part, I don't have a ton of combat in my dungeon crawls, so when the players run into an "enemy" that can talk, it basically just ends up being this.
