Like, I don't want a wife and kids and a house in the suburbs or anything, I think it's all obvious garbage (because of them), but the people who have that love to have a scapegoat, don't they? Somebody to project their little fantasies of deviancy on. Meanwhile, I just want what every Millenial wants: stable housing, decent enough money, and all the older people in my life to fuck off.

Sometimes I wonder if cis people look at me, a boring trans person with some mental health problems and issues with housing and are like, "That's a messy life, I bet he's a bad boy, I bet he loves drama" and just, like, project all this shit on to me when I just want to be left alone.

Just blaming me for all the dumb shit I've been through and deciding I'm the best person to throw more shit on, while they can front like they live ordinary lives because they're cis.

Why do other people get boring families that idk respect their wishes and love them?

Why did I get stuck with the overly dramatic family that likes to cause trouble for no reason?

Too many movies about spider-men and clowns.

To really think and believe that, is to on the same planet as men who are like, "I called him [f slur] but not in a gay way, I don't hate gay people, it's just what you say". You have to be half-believing absolute nonsense to justify all kinds of obviously bad things throughout in your everyday life. Just speedrunning doublethink all day long.

Like, in order to think that, you already have to be so far out of touch with society that you might as well be on Mars.

You know, the issue isn't really with people who play video games (nearly anyone under 65) or even with people who self-identify as gamers (though that's pushing it).

It's with the men who thought/still think "ethics in video game journalism" is a salient issue that lots of normal people care about.

That normal people care so much about ethics in video game journalism that they could use it as a rallying cry for wild-ass claims that would otherwise scare most of the public away.

You'd think gamers would be pleasant, happy people who enjoy fun and whimsy

I'm calling out that Buffalo buffalo buffalo bullshit. Who the hell uses "buffalo" as a verb?

Listen. We all have bad ideas, but making your link text almost the same color as your pink background is among the worst.
