Skill issue

The 1s get stuck more often because they have a serif

There are no cool breezes in space

Yeah, Harry Evans’ best friend is a Wizard Nazi. He’s not supposed to be a paragon, he’s supposed to be a flawed character whose flaw is hubris.

Yeah, attacking antifascists isn’t what liberals do, it’s what us socialists do. Anarkiddies will never understand that purity testing antifascists is a legitimate leftist position.

Oh yeah it’s morbin time

Keu.

The Earth is spinning

In 40k, everyone is fascist. The Imperium worships a corpse who is gonna wake up from life support and save humanity any day now guys. Their creed is “suffer not the xenos, mutant, nor heretic to live”.

Their main enemies are Chaos: nightmare demons and cultists worshipping evil gods spawned from the Imperium’s own fascism.

The biggest threats on the horizon are the Tyranids, a ravenous swarm of bugs who want to eat the galaxy, and Necrons, a feudal empire who sold their souls for immortality while destroying the galaxy.

There are also the Drukhari, murder rape pirates who had such a big cocaine orgy they tore a hole in the galaxy, and Orks, fungal football hooligans whose only purpose in life is to get into a good fight.

The only “good guys” are the Eldar of the Craftworlds, who are arrogant communists with a birth rate issue, and the Tau: a Marxist-Leninist Federation of Planets who are secretly all being mind controlled.

The setting is supposed to be a satire of fascist ideology, but at some point Games Workshop started believing the pro-Imperium propaganda they spend all day writing.

Avoiding microaggressions is an important part of curating a space that feels inclusive. Explicit rules don’t do much to make minorities feel included if those minorities feel that the implicit rules are different from what’s being said. I saw a Reductress article a while ago that really speaks to this issue and made me think. Now, the accusation in the article isn’t what I think is going on here, and I don’t mean to be as confrontational as the article is, but I think it’s a really good read for anyone, and especially anyone curating a women’s space who wants to be trans inclusive.

It’s the post body text on this current post we’re replying under.

men we appreciate your interest but please do not comment

If a bigender person who is a woman and a man read this, she’ll feel that she’s being told not to comment, because she’s a man. Excluding men will exclude some women, because some women are bigender men.

OP should edit the post body to avoid making women who are men feel like men are unwelcome.

Someone likes staring at plant genitals

Right, but your post here says men aren’t welcome, and some trans women are also trans men. Gender isn’t a binary, it comes in infinite combinations.

Ah. Well, I’m no longer welcome according to the rules as I’m agender, but before I go I should warn you that you could also make bigender people feel unwelcome. I have a friend who’s a man and a woman at the same time.

I’m worried your post body could make trans men (ftm) feel unwelcome here. Rule 1 is that anyone under the trans umbrella is welcome, so you should probably be careful about language that either excludes trans men, or implies they’re not real men.

I used to use Mastodon, but there’s nobody there. I couldn’t find anyone interesting

What if an awkward person wants to have a power fantasy about being a smooth talker? What if they want to play a warlock or bard?

Twitter users don’t deserve credit.
