I didn't know they made a show about The Sacred Band of Thebes. Actually that would be an interesting show especially if they centered it around the war between Sparta and Thebes.
Oh the tumblr show, got it. Not making fun of the show just a strong association while from back when I was interacting with the New Vegas fandom circa 2014.
All my light fixtures have 2 lights. I always use blue and red because they he tri color shadows look so cool. I’ve been doing this before I discovered I was bi.
There are different kinds of colour blindness, aren't there? So you'd have to do one for each? And then there may be people who see MORE colours (cf tetrachromacy), they'd want their own too! Where does it end?! 😱
"Well boys, the atmosphere is trans, we're breathing in the soystrogen right now... corrupting our precious bodily fluids... gonna be the last straight sunrise we ever experience... they gay bombed us, we've only got minutes untill we begin growing tits and ravenously fucking each other to death."
... I feel like something approximating that either already is or could be a red vs blue skit.
sigh these guys really just need to suck a cock and get it out of their systems.
Incomprehensible to me how stupid you would have to be to be able to shit out such a malformed and worthless thought for the sake of getting upset at something completely imaginary.
Before, satire was easy. You could just make a message internally inconsistent and people would eventually realize "this can't be a real person's avowed opinion, because it doesn't make any fucking sense."
And then Death took on subcontractors to expand its market to communication.
Master chief has always been trans, that is to say transhuman. Also I'm pretty sure the dudes ace and is romantically involved with Cortana in some way my autistic ass can't quite comprehend.
Theu are adding three new missions in this new game, in the last one Master Chief os coming out as a trans. Mistress Chief will be the protagonist in the new remakes in the future.
I get the joke, but I'm getting tired of people behaving as though all these people just so happen to also be queer because "haha they don't want to be called gay and insecure." Like, gay men are the most likely group within the queer community to turn traitor because of their socioeconomic privilege, but it perpetuates this idea that queer people are only ever threatened by each other and not a system that functions to eradicate them.
This is important, though I also want to emphasize that my comment is meant to draw attention to the fact that even if they are secretly gay, their ability to benefit from betraying the rest of the community is only possible because of their position in the racialized and heteronormative hierarchies of imperialism and settler-colonialism. To focus on the moral failure of individuals like that is to ignore the systemic conditions that both enable that failure as well as our shared persecution. Queer liberation requires the dismantlement of these institutions, which means we must be critical of how position effects the choices that individuals make.
This article is good to point out that many homophobic and misogynistic social norms are reproduced through this self-hating narrative, and that is also something that every queer person should be noticing in liberals at the moment. Since more overt fascists have shown up, it has become more acceptable among liberals to rely on notions of white masculinity, ability, and strength to demean those that they view as morally impure (especially so since their bigotry is not the primary cause for liberals' disdain of these groups of people). Liberals use jokes like this not just because of their ignorance of the latent queerphobia within them, but because they view them as opportunities to express that bigotry with impunity when a more "deserving" target of that ridicule has been presented to them.
No, you don't understand! Imagine you want to show your buddies a game and the first thing they see is this BLATANT display of the gay! They'll have no choice but to conclude it's a gay game and you too must be gay! The horror!
I can imagine the conversation with the bro he's trying to impress, who's totally straight, too. Something along the lines of "Bro, a rainbow? That's so fucking gay, bro! Like, two hunky dudes kissing each other in the mouth gay, bro! That shit only girls like, bro! It's girly, bro! That's why I only hang out with real male bros, bro, even during sex!"
it's his job. He has an entire channel where he gets mad at anything "woke/leftists/progressive" inside the games industry. Also he worked in the games industry, he must have done some shit while he was in the industry and got fired and blacklisted. Why else would he dedicate his life to attacking the industry.
You'd be amazed at the amount of back patting idiots will do to their crowds. That kind of validation might be the only these dudes ever get in their lives
Kinda sorta. It's a remake of the campaign in UE5 supposedly with co-op but no other multiplayer. So if you want some Blood Gulch action, still gotta play CE.
I have this record cabinet with an led strip in one of the sections, and I tend to keep it on the magenta. I had no idea I was bisexual until this moment. Send penises.
Because its all the media tell them to concentrate on as the biggest threat to their existence (other than if your skin is the wrong colour). The major UK newspapers published on average 9 articles every single day on the topic of trans people. Thats 17,000 articles in 5 years. And people seem to lack the critical thinking to see this and see it for what it is.
This is as bad as the numerology people. Actually, scratch that, at least those loonies only hurt themselves. This transphobic bullshit in every tiny shade of color is stupid as fuck, and dangerous. It should never be tolerated.
World hunger, poverty, diseases, racism, sexism, billionaires, corruption. There are so many things to complain about but naaahhhh.... a rainbow in a game is a bigger problem to shout at.
