For real. The shell shock of working all your life to move to these once idyllic looking countries has been about as quickly and bizarrely dismantled near overnight in the same vein as the 2008 market crash impacting an entire generation’s outlook on their career prospects.
Basically, if you were born in the 90s/00s, your future is fucked no matter what you choose to pursue or where you move to. Even people working at NASA are being fucked over as we speak. We’re in war times.
Yep. They have it backwards. UK is next… in maybe a decade. Could be longer.
As someone who immigrated to the UK I can tell you this is a bit of a stretch. I’m not exactly afraid of dying in a hate crime at a traffic stop or ICE agents beating down my door to detain me here.
But yeah, some internet liberties are being steadily revoked. Hardly the same fucking thing as literally fearing for your life each day because of your last name or the color of your skin.
Those are the worst ones! Lmao
This right here. Just disappear into the woods and forget about the doomscroll in its entirety.
If one day you wake up in your cabin to a bright flash in the sky so be it, and least you had a good life.
I disagree but hell if this didn’t make me laugh like a mofo lmao
trans men are almost always treated as invisible in these conversations
Seconded. There’s almost zero solidarity most of the time in the trans community when it comes to trans-men, who often get treated as though they should just vie for themselves. It’s almost like some sort of reflexive trauma of not wanting to associate with anything remotely masculine post-op.
I’ve seen trans-men literally get berated and put down for being enthusiastic about anything remotely masculine, be it sports or clothing, 24/7 by other trans people. They fucking hate them.
Wow. I know I say this a lot but I really mean it this time.
That’s fucking crazy. (In a good way)
Seriously, good for them.
I feel like people are downplaying how dangerous even the possibility of #2 is. A lot of nations are already targeting the LGBTQ community on a regular basis and this would massively assist to streamline persecution of “certain” citizens as well as the rapid spread of religious dogma. Both the U.S. and Australia are current testing grounds for these outcomes.
We are legion, as the kids say
God I’m old lmao
Bingo. They’re just projecting their failures as inadequate parents because they didn’t realize how hard child rearing would be after knocking up their high school sweetheart and buying a white picket fence. It’s always the same case.
While Collective Shout solely targeted games it said violated policies held by payment platforms, Itch.io’s move to temporarily remove all NSFW content resulted in games with LGBTQ+ themes being removed.
One petition signer who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community said they were concerned that banning sexual-based games would be the start of cracking down on LGBTQ+ content.
There it is.
Lol no.
They tried that crap already with the black-identifying subs, and surprise surprise they don’t actually approve your posts once you follow all the stipulations. They make note of your race and keep you in a “list”, reasoning that you didn’t meet several “off the book” regulations (gee… why does that sound familiar to any POC applying for a job or an apartment…).
Don’t give them any information. You still won’t get access, and now they have your personal data.
