  • You're a bigot because of your reactionary response to a situation that doesn't exist. I can make up a scenario in my head and get upset about it, but that doesn't mean that it's happening. And you've been doing it all over this thread and projecting that anger onto trans people.

    A transwoman not on HRT is just as much a woman as one who's been on it for years, according to advocates

    You're also transphobic for implying that trans women not taking HRT are less women than those that do. They're just women, all of them.

  • Here's an NPR article interviewing a known geneticist and talking about Trans Athletes. Their general consensus is that there is a lack of data to make an assertion one way or the other for if trans athletes have an edge. And that's without taking into account the vast differences between each individual trans person and where they're at genetically/hormonally. Trans athletes aren't a monolith that are all the same, they can have fundamentally different circumstances and genetics between each person.

    Honestly any automatic ban of trans-athletes is stupid. Michael Phelps has a natural genetic advantage when it comes to swimming, but no one of note is coming for his gold medals or saying he can't compete.

  • I'm not an expert on Star Wars lore, but I think it's to dehumanize them and add them to the greater force of the Empire. The Empire doesn't need individuals for its troopers, they need tools and pawns that will follow orders when given.

    And since they're just pawns, typically recruited en masse, why even cash out for good armor when you can just mass produce the bear minimum for dirt cheap? That's my take anyways

  • For full context, there was an event where several YouTubers/Online personalities met the pope. I couldn't say the specific reason for doing so, but during their visit each of the groups presented a gift. In MatPats case he gave the Pope a copy of Undertale.

    Then a lot of people started to clown on MatPat for giving the Pope a copy of Undertale. He made a response defending his gift choice, and honestly it wasn't that weird of a gift. It's just funny to me personally because the situation is so low stakes but became a meme because of MatPat's response.

  • That's all very convenient rhetoric for you I'm sure, but you also fail to take into account that parties die off all the time. It wasn't always Democrats vs Republicans, there is a rich history of political parties in America.

    I don't see how wishing for the destruction of Democrats is any different then those who wished to see the destruction of the Whig party towards the end of its days. They see an inferior political party and wish to see is destroyed and born again anew.

    I don't see what shutting down that conversation does short of keeping the status quo. The same status quo that the far right is abusing in the US to enact their racist/transphobic/homophobic/bigoted bullshit.

  • The fact that you only see politics as a binary system where it's one party or the other is utterly asinine. There are political bodies and philosophies outside of US Republicans and Democrats. Being left leaning doesn't automatically mean liking or believing in the platform of the Democratic party.

  • I don't see this landing well for them. Voiced actors only limit conversation options and immersion as a result.

    Sure it can be nice to have a voiced protagonist, but adding one to a series that didn't have one previous doesn't seem like the smartest change.

  • Honestly you could get a griddle for your stove top and get a much safer, cleaner and overall better experience. Costs some money, but you could probably find one that would hold up for under $50

  • Hell at this point it's that added with another nefarious reason. It's because in places like the US homeless are on par with untouchables.

    Our hierarchies are so segmented they may as well be castes: and that's by design. If there's a group as poor off as homeless individuals then it shows other "lower castes" that they better fall in line or get kicked down to their level.

    Why not help these homeless individuals? Because it takes money away from the "top castes" money pile. It also takes away the threat of homelessness that the "upper castes" use to keep the "middle castes" in line.
