I hope you'll let me tell you a little bit about my home🇵🇸, Gaza🍉. It's a place where we're living through some very challenging times💔🥹. We're under attack from bombs, explosives, and warplanes, and we've had to endure many nights of sleeplessness. It's a difficult situation💔, but we're trying to stay positive🖤. This war has really taken a toll on us. It's destroyed our bodies, our lives, and our souls. It has been so sad to see our homes destroyed, our belongings taken from us, and our beautiful places ruined. It has also changed our situation for the worse. We were living a pretty good life, you know? Peaceful, loving, and full of life. But then, we found ourselves in a really tough spot. Hunger, fear, and terror have become our new normal. My kids and I, along with my extended family, are struggling to make ends meet. We don't have the basic necessities of life, and our living situation is pretty rough. We're in these old, falling-apart tents. It's so hard to know what to do when winter comes. We'll be soaked in the rain and wind, and I'll be at a loss as to how to keep my family safe, from the bombing and from the winter.🥹

I'm really hoping you can help me and my family to live through this awful war.💔

So here's what happened on Reddit:

A transmasc posted about how transmascs and trans men are often invisible, how our issues are dismissed, and how resources, especially medical ones, are almost always written with non transmascs in mind. They posted this both to r/Trans and r/lgbt.

A moderator of r/Trans responded by telling them to “stop bitching.” That’s the word they used. That’s the level of respect trans men get. Transandrophobic by the way, don't call trans men bitches.

The comment was deleted, quietly, after backlash. Then the entire post was removed. When asked why, a mod responded that the post was “playing oppression olympics,” and took the time to go through and dismiss each of the original poster’s points, including saying that trans men being sexually assaulted isn’t “unique to transmascs” and therefore not an issue, and claiming that access to testosterone isn’t any more restricted than access to estrogen, which is a straight-up lie, because T is a tightly controlled substance in most places and E is not.

The original poster was banned for three days.

Then a separate mod made a post saying, “nobody asked us our side of the story,” which is wild because people absolutely did, publicly and repeatedly. Users also started reporting that they’d had supportive comments removed or had been banned after disagreeing with the mods, some of those claims are still unconfirmed, but given the general behavior, it wouldn’t be surprising.

Then r/Trans locked down entirely. No new posts. The conversation was forcibly ended.

Some people posted about it on r/FTM, many of those posts were mass-reported, automatically removed by Reddit’s automod, or quietly buried. Meanwhile, r/lgbt also removed the original post, with no explanation.

One of the r/Trans mods eventually posted an “apology,” which was really just a soft-scrubbed PR post full of noncommittal language and distancing. They said they didn’t mean to call a trans man “a bitch,” they just used it synonymously with “complaining,” and they didn’t think about the implications until later even though the first post was about microaggressions just like the mod committed. They did not apologize for anything else, not for wrongfully banning people, not for accusing a transmasc venting like any other user of playing oppression olympics, nothing at all. They said they’re on break and can’t do anything about it. They said, and I quote, “please don’t be mad at the rest of the team.” even though the rest of the team are just as culpable for not stopping their behavior.

They also added that trans men are “a welcome part of the community” and tried to point at moderation history as proof. Because apparently we should be grateful that people occasionally get banned, every so often, for implying trans men aren't oppressed at all, wow, thanks, that is like below the bare minimum, cool.

The current state of things is: r/Trans has over 600,000 members, and trans men and transmascs were silenced, banned, and told to shut up for bringing up their own oppression. And the subreddit is locked down. There’s a mass exodus happening to the new sub, r/trans4every1, but let’s be real, the damage has already been done.

Now let’s talk about what this actually means.

This is not “just more Tumblr discourse.” This isn’t some random blog saying they don’t like transmascs. This isn’t a Twitter reply guy. This isn’t a niche zine or a spicy personal take. This is a massive trans-focused subreddit with over half a million users. It's easily one of the largest public facing trans community online, maybe even the largest, I've certainly never found a bigger one myself. And the moderation team made it crystal clear: they do not want transmascs to feel safe or welcome there.

This is what transandrophobia looks like on a slightly larger internet scale. When it’s in the hands of people who get to decide who gets heard and who gets deleted.

And for anyone who’s still stuck on “well they apologized” listen: trans men are told all the time that we’re being too loud, too angry, too entitled, too manly, too feminine, too confusing, too “binary,” too "Nonbinary", too much. We’re told that we’re “oppression olympics-ing” just for talking about our lives. And now we're getting banned and locked out of the spaces that claim to represent a huge portion of online trans people.

This isn't just online drama. This is a bellwether. And if it isn’t setting off alarms in your head, it should be.

The way transandrophobia manifests in online spaces absolutely bleeds into real life, into medical gatekeeping, into poor data collection, into the erasure of sexual violence against transmascs, into advocacy groups that write us out of the picture, into educational materials that treat us like footnotes, if they include us at all.

And if you’re sitting there thinking, “well it’s not that deep,” you’re part of the problem.

We need to start being more honest about this: Transandrophobia is real, it is widespread, and it is growing. We need to stop giving people the benefit of the doubt when they’ve shown us they don’t want us in the room.

And frankly?

We need to start making TRFs [Trans Radfems & transmasc-exclusionary feminists alike] deeply uncomfortable being open about their beliefs. We need to make them afraid to be TRFs, the way they’re trying to make us afraid to exist.

The same way we don’t coddle fascists. The same way we don’t tolerate TERFs. We need to stop tiptoeing around transandrophobia.

Because this growing wave of transandrophobia is going to kill people. Full stop.

Protect trans men. Protect transmascs. Protect your siblings; all of them!

[forestcryptidruleslawyer]

Whenever someone tries to hypothesize a bad faith scenario in which trans mascs have male privilege they always reveal their lack of knowledge on the trans masc experience.

"But what if your name on your application says John", well what if I chose an anti-assimilate name? What if I never changed my legal name? What if my name identifies me as a minority of another kind? What if my appearance doesn't match my name? What if my gender marker still says F? What if I don't pass? What if everyone already knows I'm trans because it's a small town and people gossip?

When people create these scenarios, they're imagining a trans man with no complication. His transition was successful in assimilating him into cishet society, no one knows who he was prior, all his documents were successfully changed, he has no other axis of oppression to hold over him. He's basically THE Chad trans man, the Chads Man, if you will.

The problem obviously is, this man basically doesn't exist. And even if he did, the security of his entire existence would require him to keep his mouth shut, don't advocate for himself or other trans people, and to be so deep stealth that he never allows himself to be vulnerable with another human being ever again. If he opens up to anyone about being trans, he immediately loses all those privileges.

All this meant to say...

Pease Stop talking about Chads Man. Chads Man doesn't exist. Your local trans man is most likely a disabled punk with stick n poke tats who doesn't believe in documentation lol.

‼️ its time to help ‼️

🍉 The ceasefire was stopped 🍉

⚠️ don’t ignore my text ⚠️

I am Mahmoud from North Gaza, studying computer engineering. I was working in a programming company during my studies. I got married a day before the war started and I was living in my house with my wife, but because of the war, things changed and I lost my house, my job and my father. 💔

It is very unfortunate and now my family has no breadwinner, so I desperately need your help. My wife is pregnant and we are suffering from famine. My child is my only hope in this world. I am asking you for a small donation so that I can provide food for my pregnant wife, please

✅️UPDATE 17/01/2025✅️

After the ceasefire in Gaza, hope has returned to us once again, giving us the strength to rebuild our lives.

now my wife is five months pregnant. She requires full care, including medications, vitamins, and medical attention.🤰👼

I beg you to help me and save my first child.🫀

My hope is for my child to come into better circumstances than these.

It is incredibly difficult for a child to be born in a tent, in the worst conditions, surrounded by insects and germs.

Please, help me build a new hope for this small family 👨‍👩‍👦

please make a donation 🙏

any amount will make difference to us

Today was unlike any other.

We received a few donations and with them, we had our first real meal in over a month. For the first time in so long, we didn’t go to sleep hungry. We cried, not from pain this time, but from overwhelming joy and gratitude.

To everyone who donated, shared, or simply kept us in their thoughts thank you. You didn’t just feed us. You reminded us that we’re not alone. You gave us back a piece of our dignity and hope.

But the struggle isn’t over. We’re still in need of food, support, and a little more light in these hard times.

Please, if you can, continue to help. Every share, every dollar, every act of kindness makes a real difference.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. And please, stay with us on this journey.

Overwolf (Who owns Curseforge) is an israeli company which is supporting the genocide in palestine and funding the IDF

Dont use curseforge anymore.

For downloading game mods: If it's Minecraft, use Modrinth instead, for any other games use gamebanana or nexusmods.

The original tweet appears to have been deleted. and im unable to find it on Archive.org, but the tweets are still indexed by google.

They're still openly raising money for Israel, though instead of the IDF in specific its just general "those affected by the Hamas attacks"

A new pain... and unbearable exhaustion.

I fled my Out of the tent again under a hail of bullets, through the rubble of destruction, and the terror of merciless warplanes..

I carried nothing...only held my children close and ran into the unknown

Today, we are without shelter, without food, without medicine.

My children are sick... their bodies are weak, their eyes search for safety we do not have, and for medicine we cannot reach.

Every passing day is a battle to survive

We endure life in Gaza under war... under bombing...

Help us save the little souls who did nothing wrong but were born in a homeland that’s burning.

No words can capture what this image shows.

No ambulances.

No shrouds.

No graves.

The bodies of our loved ones are being carried on a donkey cart—because everything in Gaza has collapsed.

This is not a scene from history. This is today.

We have nothing left... only the will to survive with some dignity.

My family and I are facing this horror day by day.

No donations means no food, no water. Just hunger. Just fear. Just silence.

Please help us.

Donate if you can. Reblog. Even a kind comment can make a difference.

Vetted!!!

Hi puki I've noticed you've been getting more hate anons recently and wanna check in like genuinely

Hope you're doing okay

Also skyrim is better than hollowknight goodbye 👋 🙂

This ask affects me much more than any hate comment.

You Cur. You don't know SHIT about video GAMES!

You saw the same draugr-looking dungeon copy/pasted 600 fucking times across the map and you ATE IT UP. You sat there, idly drooling, as the same 3 American voice actors tried their absolute WORST to do a convincing Nordic accent for 1,000 FUCKING NPCS in a row. AND YOU SLURPED IT UP.

You fell for the trick. The Howard trick. You saw the cool dragons, you heard that beautiful music, you engaged in the cardinal sin of nostalgia, and you convinced yourself that this ramshackle set of shitty systems meant something more to you than the mere sum of its aesthetic parts. You fell for the flash and never once considered the substance. You base all your future gaming standards on a LIE of poorly-strewn-together SHLOCK.

I love how Skyrim looks and sounds, but what else is there to love? What game is there to love? Nothing... Nothing but a series of cheaply-made content shortcuts that allowed them the means to populate a giant map with the same activity, over and over and over again.

Hollow knight, well now... there's a GAME. A game that also indulges in its own world building and lore, but manages it with ACTUAL GAMEPLAY to boot! Skyrim MIGHT have HK beat in terms of atmosphere (debatable), but man, those 2 Australian blokes took on a giant and won in every other facet. You want to talk about personality? Art? I can't FEEL anything from Skyrim in hindsight, not when it's marred by the visage of onset-late-stage-capitalism Bethesda. That DNA of dead ambition permeates the experience in retrospect, even if a lot of Skyrim is good on its own merits despite this fact. And here we are today, with the hindsight of various future titles to further prove the condition that begun with Skyrim, a condition that eventually turned into the cold, robotic, corporate husk that is Starfield.

CNN  — 

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the European Union’s top diplomat that Beijing can’t accept Russia losing its war against Ukraine as this could allow the United States to turn its full attention to China, an official briefed on the talks said, contradicting Beijing’s public position of neutrality in the conflict.

The admission came during what the official said was a four-hour meeting with EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas on Wednesday in Brussels that “featured tough but respectful exchanges, covering a broad range of issues from cyber security, rare earths to trade imbalances, Taiwan and Middle East.”

This really cuts to the heart of it, doesn’t it? By their own admission, Zohran will not do anything materially to make Jews in New York unsafe, but he just makes them feeeeel unsafe for some ☪️ reason 🟤 and really isn’t that just as bad?

What drives me to go get food is not being able to provide enough food to feed my children.

and you would think the chances of dying are so high that people would refuse to go there, but then i think about if people in my family, especially children, were crying from hunger in front of me i would not hesitate to go. and i also remember this essay, about hunger. you would do anything to end it, including take your chances with unseen, sadistic israeli soldiers lying in wait with their snipers ready.
