But look at the post. Its like, perfectly tailored to cause shit on facepunch.
Right down to the "Talk about Video games 90% of the time" on a forum mostly about gaming.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;44444719]Can we talk about the transsexuals thing though? I'm totally open to that whole movement and free choice and liberating typical social taboos and everything but as a whole the concept doesn't seem so straightforward with me. Idk I just can't see gender changes as legitimate at this point in time, I can't see them as guys or girls anymore, they're just a 3rd party (transsexual). Maybe that's the point but idek.[/QUOTE]
stuff like homosexuality and transgenderism has been recorded since ancient history, so i don't see why you're saying it's not relevant. if people have trouble accepting it, then maybe people should promote awareness? what's the problem with doing so.

Not relevant? No I just don't believe you can change your sex (gender? it's a fucking minefield now) at mankind's current technological level. That's what's weird for me. I don't think they're gross human beings or whatever like that trollbait but again, the whole concept is confusing. I don't know where you see me calling it not relevant; that's not what I'm saying at all.
So no yeah I'm talking about [B]tech[/B] right now vs tech in the future, not [B]relevance[/B] right now vs relevance in the past.
i guess the only one i don't really get is genderfluidism.
that's the only one i feel is 'out there' I suppose.

But does this mean we shouldn't try to live our lives the best we can? Transitioning may not be possible at the level it should be but it's still a better choice than doing nothing.

there are many ways for people to modify how they look and feel already. it's just going to improve over time.

I can't speak for that because I'm not living it, which is why I've reserved judgment.

how were people 'mislead' is my question.
I don't think they were mislead I just think they're stupid lol

Alright, that's fair enough. Just so you know though transitioning vastly decreases the chances of a transgender person attempting/committing suicide. So even if it's not perfect it does have quite a helpful effect.

I'm going to be honest, I have a hard time trying to wrap my mind around the whole issue of transgenderism.
But I'd rather them be accepted than denied rights, As long as it doesn't get out of hand, like that 4chan joke story where everything is transgendered xir.

Lol it won't be
If you don't want to transition then nobody is going to make you, we just want to be not hated, not make everyone switch sexes. :v:

No, Meet the Pyro was disappointing because his/her/its identity is still completely ambiguous. I really hate mystery characters in video games like this. I know it's "fun" and "engaging" to tease and make little jokes and references to an ambiguous character's gender and nationality, but one can only put up with it for so long. I legitimately find it annoying and I just want to know who or what the Pyro really is.

pyro was probably male and they would have released identity, but then loads of people made a furore about it

I'm torn between wanting a female Pyro and Abraham Lincoln (he was the original BLU Pyro from the 1850's and people theorize he got his hands on one of those Australium life support packs that Gray Mann has attached to his back).

Quick question: are you male going female birth wise? I'm not sure how to phrase it better.

I don't care who Pyro is at all. It's not interesting.

I knew someone who felt that disabled people were a waste of resources, and it was extremely creepy how eerily similar the stuff he said aligned with the stuff Hitler has said. That's not an exaggeration.

There are a lot of non-countries in the world which shouldn't exist, many of them badly run.
Spain, Italy, should be broken up, with states like Venetia, Sicily, Catalonia, etc coming into being. Belarussia should be partitioned between her neighbours. Russia should lose a great deal of land and grant much of it to various Moslem or Siberian republics.
Most countries in Africa have shit borders and should be redrawn extensively.
China does a better job of running Tibet than the Dalai lama did, but I'm iffy on how they run Hong Kong, Macau, and Xinjiang.

So send Italy and Spain back to their renaissance equivalents (while obviously still being in the modern era)? To be honest none of the Italian families that ruled their city states did badly so I could see that working. Can't say about Spain though, don't know much on their history.
With Hong Kong China pretty much left it alone after we gave it back to them because they realised that's what they should aim for and not fuck it up.
i've probably loosely argued this before but:
absolute libertarianism is a joke

I was new to Halo at one point and I wondered what the dude look liked under the helmet.
When I say I don't care, I'm not saying I wouldn't be interested to see what's under Pyro's mask. I'm saying people often blow it out of proportion. It's not that important, and there's not gonna be much under the mask that's worth while.
You've got three things that could be under that mask: a human face, a non-human face, or nothing. (I'd seriously laugh out loud and applaud them if they chose literally nothing.)
I don't believe rape culture exists. There's a massive emphasis on the importance of consent and not taking advantage of vulnerable people in sex education/social classes. I don't think the silly comments of a few users on social media or a clothing outlet's hamfisted misogynistic ad campaign is adequate proof that such a culture exists.
[QUOTE=Teracotta;44446410]Quick question: are you male going female birth wise? I'm not sure how to phrase it better.[/QUOTE]
the proper term is "Male to female", or MtF for women who were born male, and the opposite for men who were born female. I'm the first one, MtF.
I really don't like it when rule 34/porn fic makes characters OOC, and it's kinda disturbs me when I stumble across people that have become so feral with their lust for Minnie Mouse that having her in a gangbang glazed like a krispy kreme doesn't faze them.

I don't like Rule 34 on innocent cartoon characters that I grew up with. Just makes me sad. Unless they were drawn/animated/whatever to look or act sultry and seductive, I can't stand it.

I wholeheartedly agree, there are just some character's that you could [I]never[/I] imagine/want to see like that.
