AfterthoughtC - he/ him
Remember in 2010s those chuds would post “I am an attack helicopter, it is my gender identity to drop bombs on foreign countries and if you oppose you are transphobic” as malicious trolling?
If you think of it zionist (and I guess ‘vote for 99% hitler or you are transphobic’ liberal) pride is just taking that phrase (or at least the second part) and going ‘this but unironically’.
A thought experiment that came to my head: Say in an alternate timeline Biden is more or less the same or ‘okay’ on other issues but the ‘single issue’ is something else. The Israel-Palestine war either does not happen during his term or he gives a way more convincing 'anti-'genocide response. Instead he is either super pro-life or super transphobic. If the former alternate Biden actively works with republicans to pass bills to restrict abortion access and calls pro-choice protestors who get beaten up pro-baby murder. If the latter alternate Biden actively works with republicans to pass bills to criminalise trans people, calls trans-supportive parents and teachers child molestors and claims Rowling etc. are victims of cancel culture. How would liberals justify this as the lesser evil?
To hop on this I’m looking at trying a chinese/ wuxia turn-based rpg for this summer sale. Have the following on my wishlist:
-Wandering Sword
-Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains
-Hero’s Adventure: Road to Passion
-Souls of Chronos
-Terra Memoria
What would you recommend?
Pokemon Emerald Z. Decent fakemon romhack that is not super difficult like Altair/ Sirius/ Vega.
Pokemon Unbound and Gaia for new region hacks.
I also have kind of a soft spot for Pokemon Glazed and Giratina Strikes Back. Mainly because they came out at a time when pokemon romhack game balance and stories were awful. Meanwhile Glazed was just a regular get all eight badges story while Giratina Strikes Back at least had some semblance of level scaling/ balance/ no Lv 80 vs your own Lv 40 pokemon bosses.
I guess compare them to their enemies? Put the two statements “Russia declared LGBTQ+ as a terrorist movement because the CIA (allegedly) uses LGBTQ+ organisations as fronts for spying” and “Israel kills Palestinian civilians because Hamas (allegedly) hides behind them” together. Ask why they think the latter is morally justified but not the former.
