Ask the people who support "armed resistance" for Palestinians to get their "land back" if they would also support Jews doing domestic terrorism to get their homes back in Germany, Poland, Yemen, Iraq, etc. and you will have your answer of what they actually support.

a great article that I know some people on here definitely need to read 😌

Zionists will start saying unprompted that killing children is fine and then act surprised when you point out how downright evil that is

it'd be cool if they made mecha series that subverted the usual format of country-based robot battle tournaments with super robots in favour of something a bit more authentic to the way conflicts tend to work in real life, maybe even to the extent of full-blown war drama with an undercurrent of the technology actually advancing as the timeline moves forward

Hey, It's the HDG anon from a while back, and I just wanted to thank you. The stories your recommended were very helpful, and my story has rapidly gone from Humanity Fuck Yeah to Xenosophonts Fuck Yeah. There are so many cool alien species in this setting but it looks like people just. don't use them at all. Like they're right there on the wiki with unique biology and cultures and psychology, but no, let's just completely ignore all that cool worldbuilding.

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. And hey, if anyone from the HDG discord reads this, how about a xenosophont writing jam?

Hey I know it's been a while since we've talked, and I don't even really use this account anymore, but I'm sorry for your loss. We didn't really see eye to eye with each other but he was a great guy.

I hope that in one way or another, we'll all laugh about this together some day.

so if you've been wondering why @jumpingjacktrash never posts anymore... hey you remember back in november when i posted that PSA about stroke symptoms? yeah.

things looked bad for a while, and then good for a while, and then bad for a while, and sometime last night jesse wildly misunderstood the term "death of the author".

if you're thinking about sending gifts or something, i'm all set, but hey, trevor project and the like are always looking for support.

As for the "dunking on a bunch of trans women's kinks" aspect, I think that if people's position is that the setting cannot be seriously explored without destroying its appeal, then evidently they believe the setting to be a lot weaker and less appealing than I do.

Seriously. Don't be afraid to think about what you like. "Turning your brain off and enjoying the show" is the death of media.

I desperately want to write a mediocre HFY-adjacent ao3 story (possibly with some discussion of racism and ableism) in the HDG setting but I'm unsure of how to do it without basically going "Your kink is icky and you should stop it" to a bunch of trans women.

I mean ultimately you can pretty much write whatever you want, but here are some pointers if you want to write something in HDG:

First, a disclaimer: contrarily to what people may think, I actually like the setting? There's a lot of work put into it, I find it interesting to work with, and I'm a fan of several well-regarded HDG stories. My problem, if anything, is with the overly curative side of the fandom that aims to discard, and outright demonize, any interpretations of it that interfere with their fluffy escapist fantasies.

So, that's already a good thing to keep in mind if you're writing something that goes beyond that. People commonly refer to these as "spitefics" or "hatefics", and that is a pitfall that you should avoid: writing out of spite is probably gonna lead to a result that's not very enjoyable to read, or even probably to write. Instead, ask yourself: what do you find interesting in writing a HDG story?

You've answered part of it with what you bring up in your ask, there's plenty of discussion of racism and ableism in the setting to be had. You may also want to free yourself from the constraints of the mainsite axioms, which is reasonable (they're self-contradicting and prevent you from writing anything but a by-the-books kinky romance), but I would recommend staying otherwise true to the established setting! You are after all writing HDG, not a generic HFY story.

And there's the other H-word. To me, most HFY is a very myopic way of looking at the world around us, looking up at the stars and picturing ourselves as the best people around. That's something, I think, to be avoided. Instead, maybe treat xenofiction as a mirror held up to humanity, contrasting any flaws and qualities that you may find in it. Especially if you stray away from the imperialist cultural bloc! You could look into decolonial studies and literature, or the history of working-class and marginalized people's struggles, for example. And finally, keep in mind that you don't have to treat humanity as uniquely good! If your work showcases values that you care about, don't make them an exclusive human thing, yknow. Hey, maybe you could have sympathetic Affini who disagree with the imperialist consensus!

And if you want some HDG reading material to get a vibe from the setting, I'd recommend first of all the original story by GlitchyRobo on ROM (the AO3 version contains heavy retcons), and For A Better Universe by SapphicSounds. Both are early works that aren't afraid to go beyond the modern status quo, and you may find some surprising elements in their plot!

Finally, I have a soft spot for Marcescence by fleur_fairyfloss - if you've read early Twitter-era Empty Spaces writing, I think you'll enjoy it. This applies to everyone else reading this, btw, it's a great story.

executive producer on dropout (game changer behind the scenes) calling a trans woman a 'person' and using they/them only to then talk abt the cis woman sitting next to her and refer to her (cis) as a woman. cant make this shit up.

you’re fucking kidding me. what video is this? does anybody have a rip?

Footage shows moments when an Iranian missile hit the Israeli War Ministry HQ in Tel Aviv. 13 June 2025

June, 2025 - Seen in a Spanish pub: "No se sirve a Sionistas" - We don't serve Zionists!

Total offense but many people dont respect October 7th as the true militant uprising it is and refuse to learn from it. Palestinians brought a military and technological superpower that is backed by the US imperial government to heel with a lot less manpower. It was obvious that it took years to plan. I blame this all on the humanitarian lens in which people have been looking through at Gaza. Direct action is one thing but militant action is another

[palindromordnilap]

Would you hear out a Nazi? Would you sit down at the table with a Nazi to try and understand them?

If you're answer is no then you should be giving that same energy to Zionists.

In this house we don't platform Zionists. We don't sit down with Zionists. We don't lend them an ear and we definitely don't try and understand why they think genocide is acceptable

This whole list is just full of insane Zionist talking points and blatant historical revisionism, but this one takes the cake for straight-up being a Nazi/colonizer talking point.

I do have to wonder how many zionists realize that they’re permanently giving the term antisemitism boy who cried wolf connotations. The word is tainted to the point that I’m not sure it’s viable in discussions of actual antisemitism anymore. It’s really grim to be in a position as a Jew where every time I see someone describe something as antisemitic I have to spend 5 minutes digging through their profile before I can know if they’re being genuine
