I appreciate where you’re coming from. I said it the way I did because for some, at least from my observation, there is a sick sadism to it rather than fear alone.

Academic definitions would agree with you and it does hold true for the general populace; however I wanted to add the caveat so as not to mistakenly give the impression that fascists should be pitied, in any capacity.

Sunshine is also pretty active and good with recommending/promoting the fediverse and comms

I feel like we need a Windows-98-VHS style Peertube video to accompany signups now.

It’s been said better by other people but the general understanding of the right’s use of “DEI” is as a convenient blanket slur.

It’s typically used against Black and Hispanic people the most, followed by trans people, but any/all women are convenient extra padding under the bus tires of their bigotry and insecurity.

Remember that their fascism is based in feelings of superiority in addition to fear. Use that against the cowardly bastards. They can’t stand to see someone “undeserving” do as well as or better than them, so they try to mow it down.

Fuck ‘em.

EDIT: It seems like Rose Ferreira is of Hispanic descent, hailing initially from the Dominican Republic then moved to NY and eventually secured an internship at NASA, and is now an astronomer and aerospace engineer. It seems like her NASA page got reinstated, maybe after backlash. She’s awesome. Hell yeah for the Streisand effect.

They were itching to dump RC like a month or two after it launched. I played a bit when it came out but then news of them abandoning ports made me quit while I was ahead.

Shame too because it was a fun PvP shooter like TF2, and not sweaty like other live-service games.

Precisely.

Maximum chaos 🖤🤍🖤🤍

Mushi will now deposit fur on everything that smells like you 🖤🤍

Congrats!

I’m like, borderline aro(?) and yeah having the option to proceed down a meaningful friendship path with my favorite characters/have them move in (shoutout to Krobus in SDV) is awesome when provided.

I can also see the “empty tokenism” as in, players deserve more fleshed out queer relationships instead of rainbow stickers being half-heartedly slapped on existing characters but yeah unfortunately the reviewer is probably a pearl clutching “woke DEI other-buzzword bad” type.

Only thing missing is a CRT to make that warm staticky smell. Looks fantastic though
