Hate and discrimination against the disabled

Hollywood can also stop with tHe MeSs@g3. Does every action hero have to be Keanu Reeves? No. But I’m not going to believe that the fat gay black woman is going to drop the seven foot body builder.10 I will not accept waif fu unless we’re in comic books or supernatural fiction. Gay folk are maybe 3% of the population, I don’t need them to be 50% of the characters in media. Stop turning every fantasy world into downtown Manhattan. [footnote: See … any fantasy on streaming. Sigh. No. Really.] I can go on.

You know what I saw in the theater this year? A Working Man. Why? Because I like Chuck Dixon and I wanted his film to do well.

My son. Brilliant. Not autistic. Same online exposure. He suddenly decided at 19. He's 27 now. I describe him as my bosomed son because he is on an artificial amount of estrogen that was never meant for his body. A host of "medical personnel" are participating in this abuse, anti-hypocratic oath. Even the so-called therapist is not providing therapy, but destructive encouragement. We've spoken all the logic, but this contagion seems to, at least temporarily and just long enough, block one's ability to think with reason and logic. The only thing I know to do now is remain in the wings for the day it all crashes down.

“Every game, the communities around them, the discords for said games, and so on. You get banned or muted for basically saying anything in chat, people cry about toxicity everywhere, we use AI to moderate voice chat in games now, it's just getting ridiculous.

I'm really tired of studios trying to make gaming into a little safe space for fragile egos. Who even asked for it?”


“It was never a safe space. It was "safe" because everyone in the gaming sphere was a nerdy as fuck outsider and they all shared a lot of the same interests. It was never safe from the kinds of things they want to make us feel bad about. Mockery and insults were common but mostly innocent. Depending of course on how deep into a specific scene you were as some were more hardcore than others. There was a sense of camaraderie but always a sense of competition as well and competition breeds conflict both innocent and extreme.”

“It was "safe" because everyone knew that everything was just online and it wouldn't go into the physical world. Guys let off steam when they're gaming.

The problem is women taking online banter seriously as if a bunch of nerds would follow through.

It's ruined so many online spaces that now have real-world rules applied to them.”
