Thanks, although I still find the outlier data point to be something that should've been reviewed without the headline--having such a strong outlier with such a strong title seems indicative of a badly-worded question to me.

I'm autistic though and don't get not just asking people if they want to fuck though, I have no idea what monohetero dating culture is like

my point is that it's vague enough that some of the questions, especially the first in the table which is a huge outlier, can be interpreted in non-coercive ways

yeah I have huge problems with this study. so many of the questions are problems with interpretation. it ends up only reenforcing patriarchy to doompost about how many men are predators (re:oppositional sexism of men as predators and women as prey)

While everyone is glazing the pope, perspective is crucial.

And a reminder: if you've got some extra coin to spare, toss some in the plate of trans journalists telling trans stories from trans perspectives, because the transphobic corporate media damn sure ain't going to do it.

JD Vance and David Lammy, Vice Prime Minister of the UK and black dude, shaking hands.

JD Vance looks so conflicted, which makes sense. On one hand, he's braying for Muslim blood. On the other, he has to face a white supremacist's worst nightmare: Touching a black dude.

maybe this is just because I'm used to having to do doctors' jobs for them as a trans/disabled person, but:

IMO, insofar as doctors primarily act as gatekeepers to prescription medicines, a gatekeeper that's easier to trick is pretty much a good thing

This is actually a lot like "we're going to ban the rich from this program and then make it impossible to prove your not rich"

It's specifically chooses a decent sounding public goal and goes about it in a way that can be easily turned into thought policing

How to use your imagination

When your party stays at the Inn overnight,
what do they eat?

If you ever catch yourself wondering that then
you know you’ve formed an attachment to
your characters.

With Etrian Odyssey’s characters, you only give them a name and a portrait,
so no matter how you think of the  character it’s technically just your imagination.
But even in that case, without your imagination, the character is nothing.

For example, a landsknecht who uses an axe might eat his meat with his bare
hands and no utensils, but one who wields a sword might prefer a knife and
fork at dinner. You might think differently, but... if you can imagine small
details like that, you might find that you enjoy this kind of RPG even more.

The essense is an RPG is using numbers to make calculated decisions, but if
you invest those “numbers” with your own feelings, you can spice up the game
little. Think about this:

In your party of five, three characters are dead. Two of them are alive, but they
only have a couple of HP left and no TP. They’re certain to die in their next
turn, giving you a game over. Number-wise, those characters are useless, but
how do you imagine they feel about that? What kind of people are those 2
characters who are about to die? Try to imagine things like that in the brief
time before your game ends.

Are they a landsknecht and a ronin, who’ll die facing the enemy and laughing?
Is it a protector, ordering the weak medic to run with his last breath?

The game over screen looks the same every time, but in your imagination, it
could play out very differently.

The game itself isn’t that big of a thing; what you imagine for yourself is much
more fun. We hope that the player uses this game as a tool, to create dramatic
and fun situations in your own minds.

Been thinking about the use of imagination in video games lately, or how I feel there are few and increasingly fewer games that ask the player to use their imagination to engage with them.

This post Kazuya Niinou wrote to accompany Etrian Odyssey often comes to mind so I decided to remake it.

which is sorta ridiculous--non-ero movies don't start with a consent acknowledgement. double standards everywhere.

honestly fascinating how much these (which are presumably legal; they're sold in stores afaik about the JAV industry) lean into CNC with their titles, whereas Burgerreich live action CNC requires you to start what's basically the consent version of a land acknowledgement and is basically as sexy
