Battle Circuit! It’s a Capcom beat ‘em up that I thought I saw someone on here talk about. I never actually played it before so tried it and it’s pretty fun. Would be more fun with more people. Here’s a video of it: https://youtu.be/l49Js8Yqey4
I’m a sexy/badass cat girl with a pet fox who just beat an Elvis impersonator to death. Life is pretty good, I’d say.
Yeah I agree with this and I see it as punching up vs punching down. Even though Trump supporters are genuinely terrible, the appearance of punching down by Hilldog just makes them feel picked on. Calling their leaders weird on the other hand is more effective at peeling off support.
A couple of things:
-
Using “transgenders” as a noun like that comes off as dehumanizing and is more often than not derogatory. I know this wasn’t your intent there, but it clearly bothers people and so is something important to be aware of.
-
I know how easy it is to feel defensive, but just getting angry at people for calling it out isn’t very helpful. There’s no shame in doing self-crit and admitting you weren’t aware, and I think most people would appreciate a willingness to understand and learn.
EDIT: I should mention that I once posted an article that had a full-blown transphobic rant because I was half-awake and didn’t read it all the way to the end. I deleted it and apologized as soon as someone pointed it out, but I still feel kinda embarrassed. So what I did was way worse than the above post, but I suppose important thing was learning from the mistake.
I like them both, and I actually feel like the chemistry between the two is perfect. Brace is funny and irreverent, but could go on for hours rambling if not reigned in. Liz is more serious and focused, and helps keep the discussion on track. I feel like one without the other just wouldn’t have the same appeal.
