Exactly. ML folks act like voting for someone means supporting them, but in our system of minimal democracy, voting is harm reduction. Primary, protest, call your reps, etc, but when it comes time to vote, pick the candidate that's across the board merely bad instead of deranged.
Painting every homophobe as gay only serves to frame the issue as gay folk oppressing themselves. Straight homophobes have always been the core problem and it's not reasonable to push that responsibility back onto queer folks by baselessly speculating about people's sexualities.
I also suggest you take a close look at how much your conclusions about the frequency of this happening are based in confirmation bias. The human brain loves patterns and will see them even when they don't exist.
Way back when google's rss feed shut down I switched to Newsblur. I haven't really checked in on the competition in a long time, but newsblur has been chugging along just fine with no major updates or overhauls (which makes it unlikely to enshittify itself).
I've had classes with a couple textbook authors and every time they strongly imply that we should pirate their books. People write textbooks out of frustration with their alternatives, not out of profit motive. The publisher is the one making most of that cash.
I enjoyed the first season, even as someone with very low tolerance for ecchi and harems. I decided to nope out on the second season though when I learned our boy's harem has some creepy age gaps and incest in it. I figured I'd just let myself imagine the rest of the show instead of continuing until it's too uncomfortable to watch. Plus, in my imaginary version, Friend A can come back and make the title slightly inaccurate.
Does Clair Obscur count as a souls-like mash-up? Because hoo boy has it been a lot of fun. I've been describing it to people as the midpoint between dark souls and paper mario
I have no knowledge on the topic so I can't answer the first couple questions.
However, I will say its a useful correction to say there are ongoing efforts to maintain historical practices if it makes the correctee happy to hear that (as is the case in the meme). It's also useful to remember that indigenous peoples still exist and aren't just historical (something a lot of US folks aren't taught in school)
You should check out Total Fantasy Knockout. The author has stated multiple times that the exact nature of the unavoidable queerness of the story is left for the audience to decide and that they just want to cause people to realize things about themselves, lol.
I do get kind of frustrated when transfems claim for their "team" characters whose experiences and stated feelings map really well onto transmasc experiences, but I understand the impulse and at some point we all just need to take what we can get. (For the record, Ranma does not fall into that camp for me because he very much does not seem to have dysphoria, lol)
Hardly anyone reads Ranma as a transmasc character though, mostly because he was born and raised male and his female form is rather new. Instead, he's typically seen as the transfem egg fantasy of "oh no someone made me become a girl! Oh well, there's nothing I can do." In the actual text of the anime/manga, he is pretty adamant that he's a guy, but mostly seems to want to get rid of his female form because it's inconvenient (he gets comfortable being seen as a woman pretty quickly). IMO it's got some genderqueer/gnc flavor, but doesn't map very well onto more binary trans experiences.

I recommend the movie Promare, in which homophobia is the root cause of global warming

No, you're fruit!

I prefer to use mine to solve sudoku on a sinking ship

Ya, I'm excited! (But less creepy shoe man this time please)

I believe it's the verb tenses. Instead of it being a historical fact, it's an ongoing practice of an ongoing group of people

I'm really not a fan of .ml, but I'm not sure I see what's objectionable in either of these posts.
If it makes you feel any better, I am very confident in my guess that there are cis men your dad and grandpa would call "not real men" either.
Ultimately, if being a boy makes you feel more like "yourself", that's enough. Sorry you're dealing with unaccepting family.
I've heard that part of it is a spoiler and part of it is a pun that's impossible to translate
Best time of year. I love my little octopus skeleton 🐙 💀 💕
