  • Misgendering, deadnaming, and broadly “it’s just bullying get over it” type speech leads to suicides particularly by younger people. The problem has multiple fronts: people need support to get them through the toughest times, thick skin to keep the day to day manageable, and social spaces need some degree of checks to keep from going full toxic

    Personally I don’t mind being deadname or misgendered I think it’s funny. I’m a survivor bias though I’ve made it to my thirties being unphased. Other people who used to be around me who couldn’t handle the aggressions did not make it to their thirties. One of my oldest friends attempted suicide four times that I know of over this type of speech being directed at them. They’re only alive right now because they were lucky enough to keep being pulled back from death until they could grow that thicker skin you’re talking about











  • I’ve been complaining about the cyberpunk genre for years and 2077 is basically a distillation of everything wrong with it at current. They use the aesthetic and gut the meat, to the point where they’re often the very things cyberpunk is supposed to be critiquing. Soulless cash grabs its embarrassing we let it happen. 2077 wasn’t even mechanically fun for me. My favorite genre and I feel like we’ve rarely made things better than just reading neuromancer. We should have plenty of really mind blowing rhings with this much time to improve on it but it’s so few and far between 😞

    I used to live next to a one way street that was two ways all around it. One of the only one way streets in that small town, next to where all the bars were, in a college town, and there was just enough of a hill to make it so two cars at opposite ends of it could not see each other. It was only a block long but the number of crashes and death defying attempts at crossing it on foot was astounding
