well I mean sub himself is a gimmick account, so yeah.
Also this thread is the most incestual thing I've ever seen on this forum, y'all might as well lock it until actual news comes in.
I'm torn. On one hand, I would argue that to be "otherkin" would be harmful to transgender people and in line with the Rachel Dolezals and transagists of the world. On the other, where do we draw the line? A cisgender person can't really fully conceptualize the existential angst of being transgender, in the same way that a binary trans person wouldn't be able to fully conceptualize the angst of someone who's genderfluid, or nonbinary, or agender, or third gender. An argument for invalidity because of non-understanding seems incredibly exclusionary to me.
I mean, it's not like we've cracked the code and can effectively point out that a certain set of neurons firing in a specific way is indicative of real pain and suffering. All I can do, I think, is take people at their word and respect it, even if bad faith actors slip through the cracks.
EtcetEraThreadI just read about otherkin, those who claim they are. Are they roleplaying or do they actually believe in it?

It may incidentally hurt transgender acceptance but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a right to exist and be acknowledged. That is the exact same excuse some gay and lesbian people use to exclude transgender people. The irony is thick.

ReasonUser Banned (5 days): platform warring in a thread that has nothing to do with video games
It puzzled me why people were blinding defending Sony on this no matter what-then it dawned on me. We are on a video game site. They are Sony fanboys-I feel foolish for not seeing it before. Any other site right now and you don’t see this “Major corporation picking on poor old Sony” mentality.
Im not going to discuss this specific case.
No. And honestly someone who truly believes in that I am not open to talk to further about this topic.like jumping out off second floor, through windows, destroying walls/doors. Chewing through everything. Jumping over fences... i have seen that, and i have seen dogs being therapy who behaved like that. On the other hand, while you cant expect someone not to stay in house all life, the dog very well can come along or be managed with dogsitters. To take a shortcut and kill an animal just because its easier on the original owner, instead of re-homing, admitting one has failed in educating or whatever therefore not seeking professional help...
One can do that, yes, but it‘s not the only solution to behavioural problems. Those are temporary problems that can be fixed in different ways. Not all without medication, but death is never an answer for a temporary problem.
I just know the phrase as I wrote it: Death is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.

Again, no fault of it lies with Sony when Disney are the ones attempting to strong arm.
They signed contracts and are paid by Sony. Same way footballers get criticised for social media childish ness when attempting to force a move to another club.
It just perpetuates that Disney can do no wrong. We've seen "fake news" tweets go viral and it'll get messier from here.

Sony is a financially weak foreign company that constantly tries to grift and dilute anything in American culture that will make them money. I'm so glad Disney is teaching them a big boy lesson. Spider-man needs to be out of the hands of Sony entirely.

Out of curiosity, when Trump or his followers claim “all Mexicans are rapists or drug dealers”, you think they actually refer to “all” Mexicans or would you call such an assessment hyperbolic as well?
But seriously, you know damn well that unlike yourself some people here are not capable of seeing the nuances here, for them, every cop is bad, and for others out there every Mexican is a rapists or drug dealer, literally. There’s simply no room for admitting there are good ones among them, too. Those are the ones I was referring to. And yes, I think people with such a mindset are plain stupid. Both sides, indeed.Simple answer? I wouldn’t draw my line there at all. Just because I hate Trump and his followers that doesn’t mean I’m automatically on your side, wherever that actually is on the political spectrum.

Extremists prey on the disenfranchised. If we go for the jugular and shame people who are just clueless instead of treating them like human beings you are setting up the ball for the first red-piller who comes along to nudge it into the hole.
People are obviously responsible for their own actions, ultimately. But we have to accept some culpability when we act to take people down instead of building them up. We have to stop abusing people for not having learned what we have.

She came in, had a ton of amateur-style scenes, a few scenes with a single well-known male performer (JMac, before she became famous), and expected the payoff to be super high?
It’s porn. You gotta put the work in before you start making Nicolette Shea/Alexis Fawx/Madison Ivy money.
I also find it quite humorous that she goes on a radio talk show, flips out when they mention she was a porn star and ends the interview, as if she was famous or well-known for anything else, yet does these interviews dressed the way she is.
She can’t really decide which side of the fence she wants to be on, and she comes across as a bit unhinged.
And as someone mentioned earlier, she wasn’t exactly that good or exciting. She could deepthroat, but looked uninterested, and one of the only scenes she’s really good in is that one with JMac, and that’s because he’s a workhorse who carries lesser performers to a watchable match...err....scene.
I told you, porn is like Pro Wrestling.

Online dating is just shitty in general, but if you think it's that bad for a woman you'd have written a book on what it's like being a man. The deck is heavily stacked in your favor. Yeah, from reading the OP she seems generally awful.Not only that but people go on coffee dates as the first date because it can be quick and painless if there is no chemistry, or you can spend hours getting to know each other. There is nothing worse than being locked in to a long ass first date when you know 5 secs in that it won't go anywhere.

I like how OP tries to hide their nasty personality by using funny gifs, probably should have been a sign that you're being shitty when you couldn't actually list your hangups without constantly insisting you're not being shitty.
Your tone and experiences sound like the typical jaded Millenial/Gen Z that indulges in too much cynical, misanthropic social media and entertainment and thus can't take anything in good faith. Hope it works out for you, entertaining read at least.
The idea that Biden appeals to the Mid West when his message is "Let's go back to the Obama times, which were great for you guys!" is kinda nuts. He's probably one of the candidates least likely to win against Trump. Heck, Warren will benefits from every positive Hilldog had, will appeal more to the white working class, and has a message going against big money elite interests which was a huge part of Trumps popularity (even though it was clearly a facade)The black vote is heavily split between generations? Biden loses a bunch of popularity the younger voters get. Also if you're a black person voting for the most blatantly racist of the candidates who has a policy set that is the least beneficial to poor black communities I'm going to be controversial here and say that it's not unfair to put you in the bracket of clueless voters.

Do you have numbers of gay people who have been killed in Saudi Arabia for who they are?
Honestly, im sick of western people speaking like they know shit about the middle east where all they know is what the media falsly give them.
Homosexuality in Saudi Arabia is more common than anywhere in any western country, as an act not an identity, and due to how common it is, it is very overlooked, it is almost considered normal.
Sure, the goverment publicly denounce Homosexuality to maintain its image as a fundamental Islamic state, but in reality it is very tolerable.

ReasonUser banned (duration pending): Minimizing and defending the violent oppression of LGBT people
The world has diversity issues however your framing of those issues is telling. There's this myth that the middle east has been a "no gay zone" and thatyet there is no evidence of such systematic killing. If you have some, that is not pinkwashing by zionist propaganda then feel free to share it. Am I saying middle eastern countries are "lgbt friendly" or trying undermine and handwave away the real and often severe issues and challenges lgbt individuals are facing in the region? Don't be ridiculous but at the same time i'm not going to pretend there's some sort of anti-lgbt genocide occurring. What is occurring and is certifiable is the genocide and ethnic cleansing of a people based on their race no matter their gender/orientation. What's even more egregious is that lgbt marginalization is being used as political tool to justify said racism and genocide - just as the palestinian based lgbt organizations attest to.
EtcetEraThreadI had to put down my dog due to behavioral issues.
ReasonUser Banned (5 Days) - Unnecessary hostility towards a grieving member
No, there are plenty of rescues that would have taken the dog and either rehabilitated it for a new home or fostered it forever. Places like Best Friends in Utah, who famously took all the Michael Vick dogs and rehabilitated them. It's understandable that OP was unable to be the one to rehabilitate the dog or live with its issues, but there are plenty of others who would have been happy to.
OP made the wrong decision, period.Well it sounds super harsh, but he didn't "lose" his best friend, he chose to kill his best friend.
