He does the bulk of his one punching for the first few chapters/episodes, and then it becomes much more focused on the world and people around him. That's kind of the point of it as well.

Depends on context. It's not really something that can determined with a binary choice.

This is one of those cases where more details are definitely necessary. It could be a completely incompetent officer giving contradictory instructions or it could be the kid did something really stupid when he got out that justified him being seen as a potential danger.

Nintendo is like a lethargic 90 year old when it comes to keeping up with the trends, which can be both a good thing and bad thing.

the place has no obligation to tell women that women will be in a place designated for women

Luckily, the majority of people don't subscribe to this weird ideology. We can accept trans men/women as men/women while understanding there are spaces in which they will not inherently fit due to their biological sex.

So basically, dick was just out and the trans person did Nothing Wrong

Seemingly per the place's policy, no, but the place is wrong for having that policy without notifying their customers that they have a section of their business in which one may encounter nudity of the opposite biological sex at any time. That is not something people will expect without warning, and that is not something people should be subjected to without warning. If people don't care, then they'll use the facility as normal. If people care, they won't use the facility.

Okay, I have a question.

Did the trans person actually show this 9 year old their dick? Or was the trans person just naked and walking around?

The woman is using show in the context of the trans woman openly walking around nude. If it's true, that would be a proper way of describing the situation.

That would be pretty tough to deal with in a realistic scenario. Even assuming she can afford help to walk and care for them, thats still going to occupy most of the day. I guess if its a case where she is rich enough to never work again and can hire a maid to clean like twice a day to keep up on dog hair, thatd be fine.

Because it generally won't be an interesting plot point for the average viewer. Doing it for the sake of doing it just seems cheap, so you need to actually be able to commit to the long haul like Todd.

No. I did it a few times during peak COVID last year because it felt like people actually deserved extra for having to deal with all that. But otherwise, spending three seconds handing me my food and taking my payment is not something tip-worthy.

What's so offensive about a penis?

Because that's how most cultures seem to have evolved. In a vacuum, nothing about the human body should really be seen as offensive, but it's simply how our brains work. Certain things are not deemed suitable to do in public, and certain things are deemed suitable to be shown to certain people. Right or wrong, it doesn't really matter. That's not something that is going to change at all any time soon.

So where should trans women go? No where? Because they are women, and if they aren't allowed to be with other women and don't want to look at dicks, there's nowhere for them.

Spaces which advertise the that people may enter based on gender identity so other customers can opt out if they don't wish to be in such a space, spaces that offer mixed bathing areas (if they exist in abundance), or simply not at all. There are cases where people's dumb sensibilities don't need to be accounted for (like Christians/Muslims getting mad trans people simply exist), but this is such a case where the biological reality is relevant and will always be relevant to the vast majority of people.

Eh, he kind of just threw a unnecessary hissy fit and ragequit instead of just rolling with the punches. Anyone who actually sent him death threats is shitty per usual, but he could have just continued on without issue. It would have blown away in a few weeks.

Why? What is it about the penis that makes it offensive?

You can't even associate it with an organ that signifies attraction to women, because there's plenty of lesbians in locker rooms and spas everywhere.

That's what gets me about this crowd that doesn't want trans people in their bathrooms or locker rooms based on them saying they could be predators. News flash: predators already use the same bathrooms as everyone else. What they really want is for trans people to never feel comfortable.

Even in cultures where public bathing and bathing together with family is a thing, I don't think it's particularly common for mixed bathing areas outside of parents bringing toddler age children in with them, so not particularly sure why you're trying to paint not wanting to see the opposite genitalia as some kind of non-issue.

She's not wrong in her complaint, but she argued from the wrong perspective.

Anyone can of any age can come to the realization that their relationship was unhealthy and manipulative, but, excluding the above cases where it was literally illegal, calling an age gap inherently creepy is stupid. If someone feels they were manipulated as an adult, that's a perfectly valid rationalization, but don't try to group yourself in with children because you're ashamed of something you did at 18.

Less than optimal, but better than nothing. Could at least get things like a keyboard and screen extender to replicate a very, very low power desktop experience.

Of vanilla fetishes, feet. Of more extreme ones, feces. Of fictional ones, murder and dismemberment.

To fix some countries, youd need to replace their entire government and thats kinda seen as a big no-no for obvious reasons.

Two of which I'm aware, and one has been banned. No idea why on the still active one.

Yes, this weird ass limbo where we know they're here but just treat them as if they don't in a lot of aspects is just weird. Though at the same time we should also try to close as many illegal pathways into the country as possible, literal and figurative, so as not to encourage more people to come.

Yes but its nothing to be morally uppity about unless you are the one being wronged. Its also not something to brag about either. Its neutral in the case of digital preservation of media.

In the sense that it was a bunch of idiots rather than trained assailants, that's true. In the sense that it was a literal attempt to breach and overthrow a governmental body, no, that's exactly what it was and it was really bad.

Wouldn't be the first time a marketing agency has shit the bed and left the developer to deal with the fallout, if it's true they didn't have direct input in it.

Likely so far away that the very thought of even the light of our galaxy reaching them is laughable. We may very well have planets suitable for life in the galaxy, but I'd have to imagine we'd have some kind of record of radio waves at this point if there was anything at our level of intelligence or above anywhere close to us.

Claymore definitely fits the dark fantasy theme pretty well, but it's another "you have to read twenty more volumes of manga to get the true ending of the story" series due to a filler ending.
Gungrave is pretty good. Definitely skip episode 1 as recommended.

If I drove like a psycho and literally ran into the store, I could probably get to the electronics section with enough time to hypothetically buy things but actually checking out in time would be pretty difficult.

I'm fine with the flag evolving as needed, but that is horrible in both conception and execution.

The feats of the series are mostly in the realm of massively superhuman. They havent really displayed continental or planetary level power as of yet.

I am so confused why people want to die on the hill of labeling everything in regards to non-attraction to trans people as phobia. It's literally doing nothing but hurting your argument. Presentation of the argument is literally half the battle, which is why evangelical nutjobs are so convincing to their sheep.

One thing that works for one game will not always work for another game. Should all Roguelikes be made into Roguelites for instance?

While they seem like a less than stellar pet compared to other dogs, do want to keep from over inflating statistics. They do seem by far the most prone breed to attack, but it's not like the total number of attacks is over 0.001% of the dog population from what I can tell. They're not running rampant in the streets mowing people down left and right or anything. The breeders simply should be tasked with vetting potential owners more than other breeds.

No because I hate being in the spotlight, so that's not worth it for any kind of notoriety. And that's assuming no "good ol' boys" retaliation.

If true hermaphroditism existed in humans, I at the very least wouldnt inherently exclude a female-bodied one from my dating pool, but the existence of a dick wouldnt make for the ideal sexual partner either.

why do people keep using this dumb argument. gay men are not attracted to women. if person A expressed attraction towards person B and then learned they were trans, surgery and all, and person A suddenly said they were no longer interested, what is that if not transphobic?

It means they are not attracted to a biologically male body. What if someone expresses attraction toward a gay, non-trans crossdesser? Is it homophobic to reject that attraction upon learning he's a man? Why do you think the gender identification somehow negates biological sex of the person when for most people the biological sex of their partner is the main point of attraction?

The format of the series is as you see, but it works a lot better in manga form. The anime is definitely embarrassingly low budget.

when?

Post 6. Old Kai, input an old woman and young man and output an old man.

That was answered in the story itself, so not sure why this is a question.

Been meaning to check it out. Do you recommend it?

All the clips I've seen have horrible animation. There's even a segment where it's literally a slideshow for a good thirty seconds. If you don't care about poor animation, it's a pretty fun series, but I'd go with manga if you're interested.

Why would you want to watch it at all? It looks like such a horrible adaptation that pretty much squanders anything good about the manga. Though the manga is certainly fairly hit or miss.

Do they even have a long term game plan at this point or are they literally just going day by day?

I really dont understand the retaliatory methodology employed by this minority of fools and why platforms treat them seriously. It feels like a purposeful attempt in creating further division in this country.

do you recognize that society is transphobic?
do you recognize that that transphobia might have an effect on the sexual preferences of any given person within society?

I agree there are biases that may reflect how people view themselves and others. Transphobic is an extremely unhelpful term to use as a catch-all for all of those biases. It's aggressive and implies all such feelings are wrong, when it's a mixed bag of hatred, confusion, and simple normal lack of attraction.

Someone who is attracted to a trans woman but then loses that attraction upon learning she is a trans woman because they are not attracted to someone with a biologically male body is not transphobic.
Someone who is attracted to a trans woman but then decides they don't want to pursue that attraction because of factors like "being seen as gay" or something along that line is someone feeling the effects of transphobia.

You can disagree with that. We can have this kind of discussion. The issue comes when people start acting like the discussion itself is problematic when sexuality and attraction are very personal in the first place.

@Nemu
Calling a minority a bigot for calling out discrimination is fucking horrible. Frankly, you know what you are but still think your actions are good and moral, and that anyone who goes against what you think is the one who is wrong and immoral.

So my advice is to take a step back and not frame yourself as the center of the conversation about bigotry against a group you're not a member of.

What? I said you're conflating people discussing the notion of sexuality and attraction into the same category as actual bigots, which is extremely counterproductive and simply an unhealthy mentality.

FarFromFields posted...

Or maybe people could stop being so defensive and really think about why they're being accused of transphobia. Take it as an opportunity to learn and grow.

It's kind of hard for people to "learn" when being bludgeoned by nonsensical terminology that puts discussion on the notion of sexuality and attraction into the same category as actual bigots like the post above yours. I understand experiencing real life discrimination might have made her like that, but it doesn't help her whatsoever to be so pointlessly aggressive towards everything.

FarFromFields posted...

Ok sure, alienating cis people is the real concern here.

Yes, alienating people who are not inherently against you through the use of pointlessly aggressive and incorrect language is a bad thing. Like it's certainly not going to change anything on this cesspool of a board, but this is a trend that exists in a variety of spaces.

I will never understand the extreme need some people feel to alienate other people with the use of the word transphobic in cases where it's clearly a matter of personal sexual preference.

I cannot conceptualize using any internet browser without an adblock at this point.

I don't really get why people freak out over farmed dogs. Most of the animals we eat are similarly intelligent even if they haven't been bread to be emotionally in-tune with us. If anything, the real reason to complain is likely because it seems like a waste of resources. I cannot image you get that much good meat off of a dog in comparison to any other animal that had been bred for the purpose of slaughter.

Plenty, but the real question is if there are any good ones.
