When Matthew woke in the morning, it was with a sense of extreme exhaustion. His dream hadn't ended abruptly when they'd fallen; it felt an eternity had passed between that moment and the one in which he opened his eyes. There was an uncharacteristic lethargy in his movements, then. He lay in...

I don't think a single person in here has been suggesting extra rules or a legislative change or whatever, but I get you.

I honestly think you are not understanding what I'm saying. Saying that "this is harmful" does not call anyone's intent into question at all. And I'm not saying that all people who have used the traps meme are secretly bigoted, at all. In fact many of them are here in this thread and have...

Listen, y'all can talk about how offensive language is fine if it's directed at people who are cool with it all you want. But when you're saying stuff in a public space, and creating a community space/culture where those things are accepted to the point that someone saying "Hey maybe it's not...

@Easy It's not gay for men to be attracted to women. That's just actually not what the word "gay" means. Argue whatever you like about crossdressing if you feel like you gotta have that fight for some reason, but you did say "women". But I'm gonna leave that argument there 'cause, not worth.

1.) Dunno what to tell you @Dunsparce except that I'm sorry you're bothered by the fact that most people here don't want to hurt each other, but that's the way it is. 2.) "Transgenderism" isn't a thing, but thanks for sparing us all your Hot Take about trans people. 3.) Actually I think tons of...

Yeah I agree with this and would also apply it to things like the constant jokes about autism or calling other people autistic, using the "r word" even in ways that y'all think isn't ableist. When I brought this up in chat I got a lot of "Oh well I don't wanna tell other people what words they...

WRT transphobia, the community was pretty intensely shitty specifically about trans women and applying the "hurr hurr girls on the internet are really guys" thing to trans women. Lumpy is actually right that the traps meme is pretty transphobic/toxic since trans women are regularly murdered...

Finally finished my paper!

Thank you everyone for your patience over these past couple days! I'm sure those of you who missed it are all eager to hear the debate, and so here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UfTqddDTzBYZ4C8qdtmwmaj4igU9iu8F/view?usp=sharing I can't thank @Rondait enough for his help in mixing the...

Preparing to moderate tonight's debate

No people liked Monika's actions in some horrible situations.

Do people like Monika's actions in some horrible situations?

They reached the edge of the shore, onto dry land, and though it was abundantly clear their troubles weren't over, just that much made Matthew feel instantly more solid, firm, and grounded in reality. The hill that he'd been climbing towards, the balcony that had served as their beacon -- that...
