You can no longer create bratty memes ๐ญ
Just lob off that prefrontal cortex! (Don't, you need it to learn cool strategies)
I'm sad that one user has caused so much trouble for so many people on here. I don't get the current situation at all, as it's small potatoes compared to the myriad of transphobes and tankies from other instances. I don't often block users, but I don't see how this issue isn't just tied to a single one who would be better off blocked.
I don't get how wider political discussions get roped into personal problems. If a person was a really nice "dragonfucker," I don't know if we'd be having this conversation. It's fine to dislike a person without seeing them as immoral or a political enemy.
I'll be sad to see you go, especially over this ๐
Awwww! :3
Only if that worm used to be a shy trans girl ๐ชฑ
"I'd vore you"
Sorry chasers, I'm only 13.77% dommy mommy. I'm a subby puppy girl or bratty princess most of the time (โเฒกฯเฒกโ)
And a skeleton under the desk, and a skull on the shelf in the 3rd. SYE includes this stuff in most of her drawings
Back when I thought I was a cishet guy, I got to hear white dudes complaining about all the ppression they faced. They didn't perceive a privilege that everyone kept saying they had, not realizing that feeling "normal" was the privilege. The only times they didn't feel normal was when people talked about white privilege, as their identity was only brought up in that context.
They took not being the default for granted. It's why they feel uncomfortable whenever a character is from another identity. It's "woke" for them to feel that discomfort.
I play it for the communism!
Thanks, but I'm totally not Jessica don't you know! >w<
I still don't follow why you're calling it an aspect of sexual preference rather than identity. It seems like you don't really know where our understanding of the world comes from, which is important for contextualizing this conversation.
At a fundamental, neurological level, we can never really exist in objective reality. The world is nearly infinitely complex and impossible for any mechanical process to fully grasp, so all biological thinking machines need to simplify the world to have any understanding of it. This is a fairly post modernist perspective, but not one that says objective reality doesn't exist. Rather, I'm saying that we cannot experience the outside world based on our current understanding of neuroscience.
We have tracked how external stimuli are not only recorded into finite chunks, but further simplified multiple times as the signal travels downstream. It's a more efficient and lossy compression algorithm than anything we see outside of AI, which themselves copy what our brains already do.
All this results in a troubling conclusion about science and philosophy: it is all constructed, and it always will be. Bisexuality is a category we came up with; a form to simulate external reality in our finite brains. This is true for everything, no matter how objective we think it is. Even if we had a final Grand Unified Theory of physics, it would only be an imitation made of the untouchable rules of reality.
That is what queer theory teaches us about all attempts at understanding. The question of other kin isn't about which group we put it into, but about why we need to put them there in the first place. How does seeing it as part of gender identities or sexual identities help us understand it? How does that understanding help us live better lives or be better to each other?
I don't care for this drag character, nor do I think we should waste time worrying about such people. If they act like a-holes, it says little about their identity. No identity can make up for being an inconsiderate douche-canoe, and shitty behavior can come from anyone.
