Every meme starts as a funny joke that gets popular and everyone laughs but then some people forget it’s a meme and just internalize it as reality
Navi was definitely one of the most prolific examples of that

ITT: people who normally fantasize about using their guns in self defense and defend cops suddenly think that escalating to violence is bad
@CommunistPrtyAC
Statistically people are getting more supportive but the opposition is loud and with the internet they can spread their hate much easier. When someone was loud in a pre internet world it might not get to you. Now you have to see every single hateful and evil comment out there.

“straight cis men who are good people are better people than bad people”
Is it a hot take or a “I was high and thought I was being deep” take
I think the internet has damaged peoples mental irreparably bc any time I see these posts they say “yellow paint defenders” “people who defend yellow paint” like it’s a fucking hardline political stance and not just a discussion
It’s so bizarre

you’re coming at it a decade into its existence with a hundred other games like it. The novelty has worn its welcome for a lot of people and that’s fine. The games old, it can’t keep everyone’s attention forever. It keeps the people who like what it has to offer and that’s it.

No one (almost no one) is that pressed about rising but it got popular via memes a few years back and made a genre of fan who only knows/cares about the memes and is incredibly annoying in any conversation about the actual character.

The “no nerfs only buffs” mentality is misguided and stems from misunderstandings of better arguments. Buffing bad things is good but that doesn’t mean nerfing good things is bad. When there is zero reason to use something bc it’s simply too good in every way, that’s a nerf

What people here don’t understand is that this isn’t hypocrisy or him fumbling, he thinks “trans ideology” is grooming and pedophilia too. So to him this is the same thing.

Hey how come TERFs forgot all the times they stood against doctors and the system for denying them or failing to properly diagnose them because of societal standards and norms for women?
Do you all of a sudden support that because it’s convenient? Weird.
I think transfems with huge followings should maybe realize it isn’t helping the community when people get dogpiled for being “reddit” bc you wanted to vent and had to QRT instead of just sub tweeting it
@fujomod3r
Another reason why I don't agree with anyone using looks as an insult, 9/10 times it wont hurt the person you're attacking and will hurt someone you aren't and it's a weak ass way to insult someone in the first place
The XIV community constantly shit talks vanilla options and the character creator but now they’re mad at this comment bc “buhhh it’s unfair”
XIV is never beating the “unnecessarily defensive over any criticism” allegations
And back to the raw deal women get, we apparently only judge them "beautiful" if they're a terrifyingly reductive version of themselves devoid of any facial features, pigmentation, even like.. blood. Everything is sanded down and it's fucking gross.

Exactly. There is no world you can convince me that a man who fought Nazis would suddenly blindly follow orders. On every level it falls apart, there is no part of his character that it follows for unless you write it like here in that hes not told the truth.

If you were capable of anything serious you'd be doing it and not whining on the internet about the collapse of anime bc someone drew a black person. In my experience, men who try to brag about their guns and their willingness to use them are compensating.
My entire time on twitter I have seen no group of lgbt people more vile and cruel than lesbians towards anyone who dares have a less than standard identity.
I can’t think of any excuse for it other than they’re children who grew up brain rotted by discourse online.
Twitter discourse keeps claiming, ad nauseam, that mspec lesbians, bi lesbians, and pan lesbians "harm" fellow lesbian and mspec folks. Without anything to actually show said harm.
There is harm, yes, but it is AGAINST mspec lesbians. Perpetrated by those harassing them.

@Coelasquid
The fact a corporation as large as that can be fined as a first time offender is insane. That’s not an individual, first time offense laws are meant to protect people who could easily just never know about a certain law not groups with entire legal teams
If you don't advocate for the freedom of expression and self-identification of all individuals you aren't fighting for it at all. Don't get caught up in "but i dont understand it", how many times have you been invalidated by that line of thinking?
why some trans ppl like "I'm queer i love deconstructing artificial systems of self expression and identification to fit outside the rigidly defined box prescribed to me by others who do not seek to understand the way i live & feel"
but still bully amab transmascs/afab transfems?

twitter negativity thrives on QRT dunks from people who never follow or interact with OP, but follow someone that QRTed them. By deleting the tweet and reposting it you can both clarify intent and get rid of the random haters who just wanted to get their own dunk in.

I find this image funny because 90% of Bridget’s fans could not have possible played guilty gear, and most just knew her as “that trap meme character”
Guilty gear was nowhere near popular enough in the west back then for as many people to have made porn and memes as they did

It’s incredible how everything you said is positive towards the game and everything you call out is explicitly people who are ruining the fun for everyone
And yet gamers just read the headline, probably called it woke and assumed it was talking about them
@MusketAnna
This is bordering on revisionism itself
Who is “everyone”
It’s their best selling game and was an overwhelming success. The same people who criticized it then criticize it now you just misunderstood how many people that was.
You were never the majority.
Insane to see so many people just lie like this
The dude said he had intrusive thoughts and was honest about them and went to therapy, he came back after a hiatus and hasn’t drawn loli since

Your standard for leftist is anyone who thinks the most basic of progressive values are good so I don’t trust your ability to identify actual leftists, I understand what you’re saying I’m calling your competence into question
the reality these tourists don’t understand is SCP used to be generic creepy monster guys 9/10 times and the one really good one you saw on Reddit isn’t indicative of the quality of most old SCPs. In fact they were so bad you had SCPs being written poorly on purpose as parody
@joyfunningham
@SiestaSocialist
same thing that happened to shoe, it's a grift where people will try a paradigm shift to liberal/leftist but not actually get rid of any of their old behaviors, so eventually when the community rejects them they just pivot back but keep preaching about how left they are
"These proshippers are stupid for conflating real atrocities with their internet discourse, unlike me, who will now do that exact same thing"
orrrr this was just one stupid person that most normal people would call stupid regardless of their opinion on fiction
@Letratek
What harm has come from this “stereotype”
The only harm I’ve seen is trans people crying that jokes about pumpkins are the reason we’re oppressed
@Egg_irl_bot
It’s a subreddit of trans people posting relatable memes, if you want more representation you need to make it 😭
Why would a transmasc or transfem make a relatable meme for a gender identity they don’t relate to

@transgabalus
There’s nuance to it bc if you told someone in highschool in my day you were agender and asexual they’d have called you a fag. the point is that it wasn’t only used against gays, it was used against anyone who was even a little queer and continues to be.

Hey remember when people said what would we do without cops?

The trend of funny reviews getting popular has done irreparable damage to the ability to actually use reviews for large games
you gotta scroll through 20 people failing to be funny to find the 10 paragraph write up on the games pros and cons
Love those guys who do that tho
@fujomod3r
I find anyone aggressively defending femboys from egg accusations without an egg accusation in the same thread to be immediately suspect. Its become such a get out of jail free card for people to be cruel and transphobic bc “oh well someone called someone an egg I guess”
People have been malding over Bridget for a year. There’s accounts entirely dedicated to it.
A YEAR and people haven’t moved on. the audacity to say trans people are mentally ill when you’re so mad over a video game character you’ve let her rule your life for an entire year LMAO
On this day a year ago, "Free-form Tricky Spinner" Bridget was announced as a DLC playable character for Guilty Gear -Strive- at EVO 2022 and was subsequently released for the game. Bridget was the first character to have been released for the game's second season pass.
If you saw these images in 2021 and were tasked to guess what character this is, the most devout GG fan would have no idea. This isn't Elphelt.
Either the ESG money is really good, or Katano has a gigantic grudge against former ArcSys writers, murdering old characters like this.

considering that people are currently debating the ethics of genocide as the rest of the world watches, I think it's a bit pretentious to pretend otherwise. The average human isn't a threat, sure, but we would be judged by our actions not our potential.
@Deceased_Bunny
The same argument or “can’t believe a doctor would mutilate people” is used by transphobes and they don’t see how it’s fucked up language to use
Also bodily autonomy means autonomy, why should anyone what a doctor does to a consenting adult?

You can try to justify yourself all you want, you have anger issues. Lashing out with violence over a mild inconvenience, especially such violence as beating someone within an inch of their life with your friends, is not a normal rational response.
