If you feel threatened by a video game, you just might not be suited for adult life.

I feel you though. I’ve stopped talking about hobbies online because trans people try to make everything center on them. I’ve seen it unnecessarily drug into weightlifting, language learning, baking, history, programming, and Scandinavian crime dramas. It makes actual discussion of anything fun impossible and it makes LGB look crazy to the normies.

I'd suggest using the word "totalitarian" as opposed to 'Nazi' because totalitarianism is what we're dealing with. There is no sphere of individual autonomy in opinion you are allowed to have on these issues. You are not allowed the freedom of conscience to disagree without being punished.

TRAs are the new Inquisition. You must believe, or else.

Agreed. I think it's worth noting that gender ideology activism is in conflict with the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 18:

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

I can already hear them screeching, "but that doesn't mean freedom from consequences!", which is wild because that's exactly what it means.

Its like that everywhere on social media, I understand that, especially in videogame communities. Mentally ill grotesque men and women only play video games and censor any opposing opinion. I swear that these people are so rampant in my geek communities that sometimes I unironically think that maybe bullying isn't actually a bad thing, had these freaks been bullied then they wouldn't have ended up so unhinged

This is a very unpopular opinion, but I share it with you. Bullying is often bad, but sometimes it can be a good thing. I know because I went to secondary school, and almost everyone there was bullied by or had bullied another student. I was bullied because I was socially awkward, arrogant, snarky and also because the other students figured out I was gay, even before I realised I was gay myself. And I have bullied other students, because some of them were also socially awkward, or because they were stupid, or because they were creepy, or simply because one of my classmates did something he was ashamed of and the other lads were making fun of him for it too, but I went a step further. That particular classmate came up behind me in the locker area, put his hands over my eyes and pulled me down onto the ground. It caught me off guard, so I freaked out. When I realised it was him, I stopped making fun of him and since then we would say hello whenever we crossed paths in the corridors. We were done with it. And let’s be honest, I deserved what was done to me.

As for me being bullied, it just stopped happening to me. I learned how to socialise with other people, I learned that I was not as great as I though I was so I became more humble, I learned how to take to joke, I became nicer to other students and I stopped caring if the other boys called me gay. As a result, the bullying stopped and I made new friends and acquaintances. You could say that the bullying helped me, because I am a lot better at socialising now than I was when I was in primary school.

But I will say this: when I was bullied, I was only ever called names, excluded from social groups or the subject of minor pranks. I was never assaulted, I was never robbed, I was never shoved in a locker nor was I ever accused of being a criminal. And when I was the bully, I only ever called people names or pushed their buttons to get a reaction out of them. If a student committed assault or theft against another student, then obviously the school and the parents should get involved. And if harmful rumours were spread about another student, then that will have to be dealt with.

And in the case of boys, setting up a boxing or wrestling match between them in a controlled environment usually ends the bullying, because fights do help boys to blow off some steam. And sometimes, these two boys who used to bully each other end up becoming close friends. I took up karate in college, but I wish I took up a martial art when I was in primary school, because then I would have been respected by my peers a lot earlier and I would have been nicer to my peers a lot earlier as well.

And you were likely banned by a "cis" TRA. They are numerous and insidious like female mosquitoes... and I swear most TRAs seem to be women. 🥴

It's very prevalent, especially in hobby communities. I'm very active in the cosplay community in the northeast of America, lots of genderspecials. At ConnectiCon, each volunteer that talked to me asked for my pronouns, and there were vendors at each entrance to the con center selling pride flags.

It’s the same in the PNW. Comicon is like a gender special exclusive event at this point, and good luck finding a D&D group that doesn’t cater to this insanity.

I only noticed how this trend was inundating video games when I heard how the RE giant woman was worshiped as some validation goldmine by trans. It's a freakin scaled-up mesh of a fictional female mutant. A 9'6″ woman(or man) is not a real thing, but tell that to their followers..

Trans are obsessed with tall women in a ridicolous way.

At the convention I went to, almost every cosplayer dressed as Lady D were voluptuous women; I support the movement of thicc women claiming the character as their own!

I'm glad she's well liked by so many women anyway. It makes a lot more sense than a bunch of tall guys seizing on one single aspect of her physicality while ignoring the rest of her exclusively female features so they can feel somewhat better about their own unconvincing trash-sitions.

Just get expelled. You will find a new group. I bounced around discord for a while until I landed in the most un PC group possible and I love it. I have to deal with a larping bi girl whose trying her hardest to be the most ridden bicycle in history but at least I can make fun of her.
