Why can't BG3 players ever be normal, it seems like if you get into that game you are immediately infected with brainworms from the very beginning of the game
tbc the context is this. no these women aren't doing anything, they're posing with guns and tweeting about self-defense, but apparently they're de facto racist and 'need to be put down' or something
Like the discourse now isn't just 'those PRIVILEGED white BITCHES', it's moved on to 'those white bitches are ugly bricks who need to die', this is insane.
Lmao people on twitter are seething that I'm 'in trans business' because I said calling trans women 'dirty bricks who need to be put down' is bad even if many of them are white. That website's cooked, man.
Not trying to pour salt in the wound, just trying to figure out why this feels so disappointing and unsurprising at the same time. Like when Whedon wrote Angel -- a Nice Guy driven to exorbitant verbal and mental cruelty by his uncontrollable lust for teen girls -- and we realized it was a selfie.
Whether or not you heard rumors, Gaiman had a specific Type of Female Character -- ethereal yet earthy, no thoughts just quirk, childlike and pre-sexual but sexualized -- and it was obvious he surrounded himself with young people who fit the mold. "65-year-old who assaults the nanny" is not a reach.
Finally, finally got around to reading The Ruin Of Beasts by @benjanun.bsky.social and @devi.bsky.social, and I deeply enjoyed every moment. Spent much time shouting character names anytime they appeared on the page and did something ridiculous (especially the knight's!)
I imagine people must be sick of hearing about it but I can't state how much people subscribing to my patreon improves my life.
I don't make enough from my day job to cover rent and bills so it's basically the only thing keeping me housed.
