Goals tbh

Mood ^^ well we both know where we were presumably raised at, so- yeah. Like recognizes like

Honestly seems like the world's best weather to me, but then I am a creature of the cold

I know that... it might have been bilibili or something that did a literal "Marx" anime. I downloaded it but gonna look it up... here it is (The Leader)

Fingers crossed though, if and when they do launch- the rest of the world must return in kind and 1000x over. The rest of humanity is not defenseless, and if they wish to use such WMDs the US best prepare for MAD and to be eradicated off the face of the planet, this is the deterrence game the US has forced the rest of the world to play and if they want to push their luck they will die by it.

Ah, big oof

While they certainly exist, the Communist Party of Britain thankfully is not among them: https://archive.ph/F1Ow4

The Communist Party of Britain affirmed that it supports transgender people’s right to “live equal, full and meaningful lives” after J.K. Rowling, almost as well known at this point for her hatred of trans women as for penning the mega-popular Harry Potter series, expressed tacit support for its candidates. On Saturday, Rowling encouraged her social media followers to vote Communist, a move made in response to the anti-trans feminist group For Women Scotland tweeting that a party spokesperson had told them it stood “in support of [recognizing] the nature of biological sex.” A day later, a statement was released on the party’s official X account clarifying the matter. “For avoidance of doubt, the Communist Party supports the right of trans people to medically transition, to have access to healthcare and live equal, full and meaningful lives, socially, economically and politically,” it said. “We believe that such liberation will only be possible under socialism.” Rowling’s blessing, likely now to be rescinded, came after she published an op-ed in The Times of London on Friday disavowing the Labour Party over its support for trans rights.

True. Though (while this doesn't contradict) I'd argue that they had to have the- inclination, or interest inherent from the start (which is entirely natural and nothing wrong nor extreme- it is their perception of it that is extreme).

*Edit: if you think about it, it would be more absurd and unlikely for someone to, say, only be interested in one extreme or the other of the stereotypical gender spectrum, presentation, or identity. Being a p-do, or liking violent or non-consensual sex- those are all genuine abnormalities and extremities, to which those people with such issues need to control and work against internally- ie. nothing alike.

Some of the most bigoted people are internalizing their own insecurities or self-hatred, for instance. Back as a kid (thankfully when confronted with it I learnt better and rapidly and was decent by 16-17 onwards) I used to be vocally homophobic for instance myself, beyond what even I was raised to be (literally talked about "killing gays and racists..")

This, 100000%.... and this is as a trans POC who has been exactly that, even did a small talking bit once for (insert certain corpo here)...

Even if some, or many people might have sympathies with all the minorities (LGBT minorities, religious and ethnic and racial minorities, etc) or for the developing world, womens' rights, or the working classes, etc. they ultimately are part of the system that's the problem, that churns up our lives (and particularly and with discriminatory preference, our lives) for profit. We're menu items, and nowadays we're also items which they use to absolve themselves of guilt and convince themselves they're not monsters, though they won't end the broader system of exploitation (they'll just create plausible deniability/distance to the direct exploitation at best, and when pushed they'll mostly go fascist as they always do).

Capitalism has always commodified those it oppresses, but now it also sells indulgences, just like the Catholic church of old.

Fwiw I'd argue that "same sex" and ""futa"" (trans/intersex) porn and sexuality shouldn't be considered extreme or "alternative" in the first place, though I know that wasn't what you were trying to say.

You're right about the mechanism of the addiction though, but I'd also add another thing- these gooners hate cis women as well (though hating on trans and queer people is even easier/more societally promoted yet). And this behavior and hatred long predates modern pornography in any of its forms, sadly.

They're not just "victims of an addiction" - the resentment and dehumanization predates the addiction (which doesn't help). They're simply shitty, bigoted, entitled people, sadly a tale as old as time.

(edit) basically- liking trans/intersex/etc bodies is natural. Liking bodies of the same sex is natural. I don't think it's an "extremity" that drives people to liking such porn (the other things mentioned on the other hand, yes), it simply means they're attracted to other human bodies, it's not an abnormality

If only something could come out of all the west's various fascist tendencies' infighting and internal accusations... c'mon, kill each other already, ideally as viciously and extensively as possible. Night of the long knives 2.0 (and 3.0, etc. ad infinitum), please.

Agreed, it's good that people are talking about this and hopefully (even if it won't mean much) it hurts their bottom line, but it'd be more surprising if something like this wasn't the case IMO. Blizzard has a history of being ghouls, Activision is made up of even worse ghouls (the worst kinds of bootlickers in the business, probably), and then they were acquired by Microsoft to make it worse.
