I used to read the Sci Fi Writing subreddit. When the historic sci fi bookstore, Uncle Hugo's in Minneapolis, burned down during the peaceful St. Floyd's protests they considered it a noble sacrifice for the cause.
The sci fi fandom isn't worth interacting with.

He's probably referring to the myth of two-spirit people among native Americans. And he is right that it was applied to ancient civilizations, but only starting in 1990 when LGBT natives wanted to have a way of distinguishing their LGBT-ness from everyone else's. Because they had to be the specialist of snowflakes (yes, that's not a term that was around in the 90's, but if they can apply a new term to their past then I'll do the same to them.)

With that kind of attitude I don't know how you'll ever multitask to achieve maximum utilization.

It's a real paradigm shift so we can proactively think outside the box.

It’s amazing how much can change in about a half hour.

Uhm maybe you haven't heard of a little place called Wakanda?

Where exactly is the dividing line between evolution and censorship?

That’s all only because of white oppression. Were it not for that, Africa would totally be just like Wakanda.

“We’re totally superior to men in every way. Yet they’ve managed to oppress us for forever.” There’s “cognitive dissonance “ and then there’s “are you having a stroke?”

Haven't they always tied gender affirming surgery (or even just saying you're a new gender) with killing someone? Isn't that the point of them freaking out about "dead naming"?

Oh gawd. Now I'll have to read about Putin's misogynist bullets daring to kill women in combat and how it's so unfair that women should die in men's wars.

I guess he needs Kamala to explain the conflict to him in Layman's terms.

Hopefully this’ll be a redesigned “slim.” By god, that system is huge and ugly. I know, that should be the leas concern for a console, but I feel like that, anyway.

So pretty much their only customers will be students in feminist studies courses in college. And bookstores in Portland, OR.

I think the AAA game developers need to stop wishing they were Hollywood. They spend way too much money on making their product cinematic (thousands of hours of dialogue voiced by famous actors!) which requires obscene sales requirements to break even. Then they say a title under performed despite selling a million+ copies. Not that Hollywood doesn't have the same problem of spending way too much on actors and ... I'm not even sure what they waste so much on. Yet story, the easiest and cheapest thing to get right from the start, they skimp on.

"The statue, named "NOW", is a female figure emerging from a pink lotus. It has braids shaped as horns with a judicial lace apron. It is meant to pay homage to Ruth Bader Ginsberg and her fight for abortion." Shit, man, it's been explained to me and I STILL don't get it!

Lara Croft was beloved. Granted, she was pure coombait, but still. I feel like there is a place for female protagonists so long as they’re well written. Frey would be an annoying cunt even if she was a man. Terra! People liked Terra in Final Fantasy 3.
