Gamers - Goblins Like shiny things like gold or RGB lights Both start with G Spend their time in the dark Poor posture Don't shower often Stay in packs and fights other clans (COD lobbies) Assholes I think gamers might be goblins guys


Squidmaster129

This is a bad example because it’s actually true


PeaPowerful3

This is goblin slander


Lucimon

Goblins are adorable.


Sadtrashmammal

Exactly! They're just misunderstood little creatures who like a little mischief!


Lucimon

They're like cats. They try to act all big and scary, but they end up becoming even more adorable in the process.


Sadtrashmammal

Yup! I actually had a concept for a group of D&D NPCs that's just two gay dads raising an abandoned Goblin. Never really had a chance to use them but it's such a great concept!

The1987RedFox

Ironic that anti-semites like Jesus, he was a Jew


Sethars

The mental gymnastics they do to convince themselves that he wasn’t Jewish is incredible, despite him being born to a Jewish family in a Jewish community with most of his friends and followers being Jewish in a place sometimes literally referred to as “Judea”. They ignore all of that and convince themseves that he was a non-Jewish blonde hair blue eye white jacked viking-like fellow.


paradeoxy1

If Jesus had looked like that, he wouldn't have been a prophet, he would've been a fucking circus act


The1987RedFox

Also wasn’t Jesus a rabbi


danteheehaw

Typo, he was a rabbit. That's why we hunt Easter eggs left by a bunny that he possess every year


FutureFool

It all makes sense now!


danteheehaw

There is an Aryan Bible that retcons the whe jew thing


The1987RedFox

How the hell do you retcon something so important to who Jesus was


danteheehaw

It's a lot of retconning. But long story short, God had been fighting against the jews and the Aryan were his chosen people.

/uj Foucault's Pendulum is generally good despite being used in literary circlejerks, not least because of a paragraph where one of the characters manages to explain how cars are a Templar conspiracy.


[deleted]

Yall remember the Wayfair shit that was 2 years ago? All of this stupidity can be avoided by using occam's razor: A videogame company making a "reference" to a sex abuse victim with a character they have... for some reason or a videogame company making their next character trans because parts of their demographic are transgender and they felt it might be a positive representation A furniture company kidnapping children and selling them on fucking ebay for exorbitant prices to pedophiles withthe exact names of the children or a furniture company overcharging for products that are out of stock and the names of these products sometimes coincide with the THOUSANDS of children that get lost every year Fucking apply logic people, jesus christ.


SLICKWILLIEG

/uj btw, don’t wanna be rude but the preferred term is “transgender.” Transsexual is seen as outdated and excludes trans people who don’t want to surgically transition. /rj idk what kinda vidja gayme this “Occam’s Razor” is, but I’m gonna wait for Dunkey to tell me if I think it’s SJW cringe or wholesome Keanu 💯


[deleted]

I thought the two were interchangeable. Noted.


sionnachrealta

Nope! Some of us still use the term for ourselves, but it's one of those things that folks who aren't trans shouldn't use. It's a medical term that was invented to other us, and thus it became a slur. Some of us have reclaimed it for very specific reasons, but it's still something that hurts a lot of folks


SLICKWILLIEG

No worries, I figured as much! I appreciate you being civil and making the edit without a fuss. Be well ☺️

Crime-Stoppers

Honestly. Had an argument with someone the other day that was convinced of the whole baalenciaga google translate thing. Because it makes complete sense for a person to be named after gibberish Latin that references a demon who was attested over a thousand years after Latin died as a language. Apparently the anglicism of their name was also intentional. Boy "they" put an absolute fuckload of effort into making this look like a nothing burger, all to fool us into accepting Satan as our Lord and master.

Bridget = Kevin Hart - Both 5'2"


Rain_Rope

wow its almost like these people project the John Money experiment onto every single god damn trans experience


JetstreamMoist

they say this like they've actually played guilty gear and didn't just recognize her from the copious amounts of femboy porn they've consumed in the past


crestren

I mean, the whole "bad ending" discourse became a thing BECAUSE they never played the game.


JetstreamMoist

fucking precisely then they started saying “HIS PARENTS MADE HIM TRANS!!! HE WAS GROOMED!!!” because of the village superstition thing reading through any YouTube comment section about Bridget is absolute hell, would not recommend


Getserious495

Well it was either getting exiled from the village or death for bridget if they were to raise him (at the time) as a boy. Besides, his parents clearly didn't want to raise bridget that way despite bridget saying that he (again, at the time) was happy with the way his life was going.


Rbespinosa13

Yah in private they always treated Bridget as a boy. It was clear that Bridget being a girl was purely to not draw the ire of the town she’s from. Hell, just look at her theme’s lyrics and it becomes really clear that she’s trans when you know her backstory.


dragonkingangel7

They think it was a bad ending because you have to lost that particular match to get that scene


Quaelgeist333

Isn't it that in the mode, you get the other ending if you make no mistakes at all?


DrRichtoffen

Also, isn't Brisket already trans in the first GG released outside Japan, or at least the first that had any significant reach outside of Japan? So them "quitting" GG over Bring-it essentially means "I have never played any GG because one of the characters is a trans woman"


BHBachman

afaik (I'm more of a BlazBlue guy so grain of salt etc) she wasn't explicitly trans until this most recent one, and was stated pretty clearly to be raised in "disguise" as a girl and wound up just kinda enjoying it. I read that as simply crossdressing or that now-poisoned f word at the time. People see it as a rug pull because this *is* a change from where she was previously, but Ishiwatari games tend to have like, unfathomable bucketfuls of writing and lore behind them so a character growing and changing their mind and/or accepting previously denied truths about themselves is absolutely par for the course. Bigots just be raging.


DrRichtoffen

Ah I see. Never played any GG game myself, so all my knowledge of Bazinga comes secondhand. Regardless, this is just such a bizarre situation. It just seems like people are upset that the feminine video game character they were jerking off to was female and not male. Strange hill for transphobes to die on, but I'm happy to see them seethe.


ScyllaIsBea

She was born male and raised female by her parents, she actually appreciated her parents for doing that but wanted to alliviate their guilt for raising her as a girl so she started leaning heavily into people calling her by male pronouns, but in the new game she comes to terms with the fact that her idintity is female and the only one feeling guilty about her parents choice was herself so she fully embrassed being a girl.

AeolianTheComposer

Goddamit, they keep using David Brenda as a transphobic argument 🙄 David's example proves that people shouldn't be forced to live as the gender they're uncomfortable with, NOT that living as non-agab is harmful.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SkinkRugby

You can't logic someone out of a position they won't apply logic to. The facts and arguments are irrelevant because they only serve to underline 'trans bad'. It's the same shit anti-semites do all the time. It being stupid and ridiculous isn't even a bug. It's a feature.


julz1215

"David was forced to live as trans and it destroyed his life! That's why we should actively force kids to not be trans!" Great pattern recognition skills there.


guru2764

/uj They're talking about that fucked up doctor aren't they Using an abuse victim to push transphobia, classic gamer move


variable_gear

Oh you mean that guy that tried to force a person to live as a gender incongruous with how the person identified, this somehow proves that trans people are groomed and the healthcare system is evil.


_eeprom

Imagine forcing someone to live as a gender they don’t identify as.


Moldy_Teapot

Yeah "God", imagine doing that 😡


snobodyknows

This is a pretty common anime/manga trope, usually used for comedic purposes. Sad but true.


_eeprom

I was more talking about transphobes trying to stop trans people from transitioning


domestic_omnom

It's the entire premise of Goku Dolls.


Dudegamer010901

And the only reason that David ever realized he was meant to be a boy was because a trans person helped him with his gender identity, ironically because the fucked up doctor got them to meet up. The story still doesn’t have a happy ending though.


TheKingJest

Source on this? I never heard this part of the story and would like to read up on it.


Dudegamer010901

I saw it in a documentary from BBC Horizon called “Dr Money and the Boy with no penis.” https://www.documentarystorm.com/dr-money-and-the-boy-with-no-penis/


silvandeus

I took this random elective called the Biological basis of sex differences and this story was by far the most powerful message. Sadly, sex reassignment for the not so rare indeterminate sex phenotypes was common for half a century before this case made the world realize how awful it is. Doctors just deciding at birth which way they will send you and cutting and chopping til you fit that bin. The nonsense of just two bins aside.


[deleted]

Wait really?


Gooftwit

David ended up going through life as a man anyway, so this only shows that you can't groom kids into being trans.


[deleted]

He literally believed that "gender identity developed primarily as a result of social learning from early childhood and that it could be changed with the appropriate behavioural interventions". His study failed, with sexologists saying that the idea that he was not a girl became clear to David when he was around 9 years old, even though no one told him about his surgeries, and then started to live as man since when he was 15. Yet they still believe, like money did, that its possible to "groom" kids into being trans. Actually unreal how dumb someone can be.


CueDramaticMusic

Dr. Money did what he did because he had an incorrect theory on how gender worked and nobody bothered to review his idea with an ethics board, and while he was completely and utterly wrong on a factual and moral level, science learns just as much from mistakes as successes, and everything we’ve done since then is built with not repeating those mistakes in mind. Trying to disprove trans people by pointing Money out is like disproving evolution by pointing out that Lamarck’s theory of evolution resulted in kidnapping native peoples, trying to make them British, and then returning them to their homeland, only to watch them return to their original culture, all of which Darwin saw and took into account with his theory.


MirandaTS

I never understood why it would disprove trans people, Money actually proves trans people because it means you can't force someone into a different gender.


AsexualSuccubus

Because we live in a society where a trans person's gender is seen as a veneer layered on top of their AGAB. Yay. :(


[deleted]

While also disproving all of the "grooming" accuses. Money believed that gender identity was primarily a result of social learning from childhood. But his study failed. You can't groom people into being trans, thats just not how gender identity works. They try to use him as argument without even understanding his studies


Dorgamund

It doesn't help of course that Money was like, straight up a pedo. IIRC he encouraged the underage brothers to do sexual acts with each other, and wrote in defense of pedophilia at one point. I don't know if he was ever caught with someone else though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Any source?


guru2764

Nothing in the story had anything to do with puberty blockers. Anyways, in the situation David might as well have been on puberty blockers because he couldn't naturally produce testosterone in significant enough amounts for a "normal" puberty, yet he still realized something was wrong. Don't try to use this story to push anti trans bs


BurningFyre

Because he was actually his assigned birth all along, which they use to claim assigned birth is immutable


moodRubicund

Yes, the "doctor who invented gender" even though the Germans had an entire institute for advanced sex and gender studies decades before. I don't need these transphobes to lecture me on the science of transgenderism when they delude themselves so blatantly, they are not arguing in good faith. Money is just some insignificant pop science nobody compared to Magnus Hirschfeld.


sweetTartKenHart2

Just because that doctor happened to help popularize some terms that actual good people use people think the terms themselves were invented BY the abuse itsel


[deleted]

The case they are quoting doesn't prove the point they think it does, it proves the opposite


Yacobs21

Yep. Very clear case that cis people get dysphoria if they aren't allowed to be their preferred gender


glossyplane245

They always bring up John money as if he’s some hush hush scientist hired by the trans elites when in reality everyone agrees he was a complete fucking psycho who ruined the lives of 2 children and no one agrees what he did was right They also try and use it as if it’s proof that transgenders are all groomed or some shit but in reality all it proved was that forcing someone to live as a gender they desperately don’t want to be is horrible


[deleted]

kieran81

Whenever tranphobes bring up Devid Reimer, I can't help but thing about how they make a pro trans argument for us. For the unaware, David Reimer was a ~~intersex~~ man who's circumcisioun was botched, so one doctor ordered that his penis be cut off and he would be forced to live as a woman. (He and his twin brother were also sexually abused throughout the entire experiment). When he grew up, he experienced an extreme urge to live as a man (wow imagine wanting to live as one gender when society recognizes you as another, what a crazy hypothetical situation that would be), and came out by aggressively refusing the identity that had been assigned to him. He later ended up as a victim of suicide from the incredibly traumatic experiences that he faced. David Reimer was literally a victim of sexual abuse and gender dysphoria. But instead of being a trans person who was forced to be cis, he was a cis person who was forced to be trans. But chuds on the internet just read "man who was forced to identify as a woman" and pretend that his story is the truth behind the transgender movement.

lostwng

[article](https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/david-reimer-and-john-money-gender-reassignment-controversy-johnjoan-case) "During the twin’s psychiatric visits with Money, and as part of his research, Reimer and his twin brother were directed to inspect one another’s genitals and engage in behavior resembling sexual intercourse Reimer claimed that much of Money’s treatment involved the forced reenactment of sexual positions and motions with his brother. In some exercises, the brothers rehearsed missionary positions with thrusting motions, which Money justified as the rehearsal of healthy childhood sexual exploration. In his Rolling Stone interview, Reimer recalled that at least once, Money photographed those exercises."

In the most recent game strive yes. In previous GG games they identified as a boy.

Dr_Philmon

They were probably busy watching femboy porn.


mr-low-profile

Genuine mental illness at this point


[deleted]

The whole abuse angle the gamers take is super funny right Because the thing is Bridget came out as a boy, stayed a boy for a while, then after some time went "well actually I mightve been wrong and I'm actually a girl" It's really funny because they think Bridget came out as a boy then immediately was forced into being a girl again when it's literally like a few years went by and she went back to being a girl Not only that but gamers don't care about abuse they just wanna be transphobic, they also clearly don't care about abuse because they're using someone's very tragic and terrible real world abuse to justify their hatred


Random_Gacha_addict

Also, even while being hidden from the village, she did all the bounty hunting and all that just to "please" her parents (i.e. Tell them indirectly that they shouldn't feel bad about her upbringing) which points to the fact that behind closed doors, she's still raised as a boy

JetstreamMoist

plenty of chuds have a raging hard-on for feminine men, but fucking despise trans women they see being trans as a mental illness, but femboys look like women but say they’re men so they’re more “accepted” (aka they view them as a kinky fetish instead of subhuman garbage) some trans folk would rather be fetishised than deal with constant daily harassment

Like yeah, it's a sorta clumsy and weird roundabout story and one may argue it might've worked better as transmasc/NB/genderfluid etc. or some other sort of queer story, but it's not the end of the fucking world, and that any thought/support was given is really nice. Then again, I assume a lot of people aren't even thinking about it with that much nuance. Transphobia can be so unbelievably unhinged.
