sekiro is fun because it has the first souls protag with an established personality and backstory, which allows us to have the first souls protag whose life fucking sucks for reasons completely unrelated to living in a souls game. ashina is beautiful but sekiro lives in his own personal hell. yeah, the fact that he can die from being hit with shit from a butt launched by a giant ape is because hes a souls protag, but he also gets hit by his dad a lot too. he doesnt get yummy estus soup, he has to drink medicine that is explicitly stated to taste and smell bad, and the way he levels them up is by focusing on how shit it tastes and smells. worry not, tho! he can follow it up with delicious handfuls of loose, uncooked rice. he can speak for himself in non-plot essential conversations, which means the player doesnt even have to touch the controller for him to fumble a bad bitch! literally the first npc conversation you can overhear is people calling him pathetic. the game starts with him #girlrotting in a hole he could easily escape but doesnt care enough to do so. hes an orphan of war. his adoptive dad tried to kill him. truly he was born in a wet cardboard box all alone

Femininity is powerful. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

I remember, during my exploration days as a "femboy", and my early days of transition, how femininity was punished. I've been called a "crossdressing fetishist", "womanface", "man in a dress", the disgusting list of usual transphobia... the sheer vitriol is daunting.

And I saw it wrapped in 'woke' language as well, or in the language of trans communities. "parodying femininity", "cringe babytrans", "womanface", "enforcing gender norms".... it's exhausting.

Too often the same people who will affirm your gender still punish you for expressing your actual gender. For trans woman, expressing yourself as a woman is punished. I've been told many times that I shouldn't express myself in a feminine way, ever, either because it "doesn't fit me" or because femininity is "shallow". It's tranmisogyny, yes, but its also just flat out misogyny. As much as the Barbie movie is a neolib "intro to feminism", the entire speech about "you have to be feminine but not too feminine otherwise that's bad and trying too hard" rings very true for transgender women.

My style oscillates between "casual women's cut clothing grad student" and "hiker butch" and "high femme in a dress", so I've seen the reactions people have to all of it. Expressing femininity is punished the most. No contest.

Part of the reason I'm saying this is because, well, I see a lot of positivity thrown around for "you don't have to adhere to the expression of your gender, you are your gender because its who you are, you don't owe anyone conformity." And this is fantastic! This is wonderful and true! But.... I see far more of this than I see positivity for transgender women expressing femininity, something that is relentlessly punished by society.

So here's my love letter to transgender women that aren't afraid to express themselves. Who find empowerment in femininity, and feminine expression. Who are able to break the misogynistic overtones that society has ascribed to things traditionally associated with womanhood, and capture them for themselves and use them to better become who they are. Who are able to survive the onslaught of people, especially early transition, who belittle and treat femininity as frivolous and weak, and instead use femininity as the source of their power and conviction.

Y'all are incredible. Keep doing what you do.

god I could be so wealthy if I had no ethics. that's so fucking frustrating. I'm living paycheck to paycheck because I'm not grifting vulnerable idiots on TikTok. I feel like I have the ability to very easily scam people. I could make a killing with AI. but god. I have morals and ethics and so I get to be poor as shit. I hate this fucking world

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE NEANDERTHAL CHILD WITH DOWN'S SYNDROME? Because they're all I've been thinking about when I'm sad for the past few days. Their existence makes me less sad.

just learned about farming simulator

I mean, I already knew about it, but I just learned about it

Did you know that the target audience for Farming Simulator is actual real-world farmers? Because I didn’t. I just assumed that farmers probably don’t want to go home from a day of farming to do some (presumably highly inaccurate) virtual farming?

Like, imagine if the target audience for Power Washing Simulator was actual professional power washers.

Farming Sim gets sponsored by companies and shit to put ads in their games. But since the game is for farmers, all of the ads target farmers. Advertising products that, realistically, only farmers would be interested in. Aka John Deere tractors and shit.

There’s a fucking farming sim esports league. Where do they play? Agriculture conventions. not gaming conventions. agriculture conventions.

We need real feminism back I'm so sick of this girl boss girl math girl dinner I'm just a girl and girls are weaker than boys but that's okay girls are special in their own little way they just need to stay separate from the big scary strong boys. What the fuck happened to gender equality and girls can be anything they want to be and do anything they set their minds to and women are just as strong and as capable of men and not on some different playing field but on the same levels. What the fuck
