There’s a memory I think about regularly. One day in 2010 one of my friends at school, who was notably very popular in our grade, started talking about how he was forced to go with his family to watch Tangled in theaters because of his stupid little sister. He talked about how it sucked and was stupid and all the things you’d expect an 11 year old boy trying to look cool in 2011 to say. But then a while later he invited me to a sleepover at his house, and at like 10 pm he asked if I wanted to watch Tangled, which he had on dvd. I distinctly remembered him saying how much it sucked, and so I was very confused when he asked me, but I also secretly liked the movie when my family saw it in theaters so I said yes. And as the movie played he got really into it and I think he even sang along at some parts.
I think about that occasionally. Two grade school boys who had spent the evening playing games on their ipods and watching dumb YouTube videos, who end up watching a Disney princess movie together. I wonder why he decided to share that with me. I wonder what other girly things he might’ve lied about hating.

It's quite fascinating to watch video game consoles tiptoeing less than sneakily into ONLY having digital games. Like I feel crazy watching this happen in real time, esp w the release of the digital only Xbox series X. Is the average gamer just cool w this?? With not actually owning your games and the death of used games?? Yes sir I'd love to pay 70 dollars for years old games and also Greedy Video Game Company sir if you'd like to delete that shit off my personal console after Ive paid for it and give me no refund than go right ahead yes sir 🫡 CMON MAN !!!!!!!

so. its looking like the german translation of paper mario: ttyd is continuing to erase the existence of trans people in the world of the game.
(terribly written article, good ol' sebastian ruppert has no idea how to talk about trans people, but im linking it as my source)
this is another grim reminder of the importance of a non-exclusively america-centric worldview.
here in the german-speaking world, several counties both in germany and in austria (jury's out for switzerland, i dont know anyone from there), trans-topics remain extremely controversial and are often used as fodder for right-wing extremists to implement oppressive legislation.
language, as always, is a major focal point to these people. many politicians and ideologues (even ones supposedly on the political left) here weather against language-centric concepts such as "gendering" (i.e. using more gender-neutral avenues of referring to groups of people or individuals), and in a few counties in austria and germany (bavaria in germany and lower austria in austria, for example), its actually fucking outlawed now.
i have faced a lot of discrimination even in the more nominally progressive capital city of austria. an austrian cab-driver once asked me if i was "one of those american tr*nnies". people here believe that it is the united states that "import" lgbtq+ topics to us, but really, the main thing imported from the united states and their political landscape is the "anti-woke" rhetoric of the right.
i will still celebrate; this character (vivian) means the world to me, and so does this game. but never once forget that every win, ANY win, is hard-fought, and that there is more work to be done in places other than the anglosphere.

Whenever you see an old post of mine that bears the sentiment "I haven't played ESO, I'm not really interested in an Elder Scrolls MMO tbh lol" know that I was wrong. I was a fool and I was wrong.

okay but we all do agree that "there is no ethical consumtion under capitalism" means "capitalism as a system is built around and depends on the corporate exploitation of labour and ressources, which inevitably both harms workers and the environment. Since every purchase you make at least upholds said harmful system, you can’t consume without causing harm yourself" and not "everything is bad so I might as well go make the worst possible choices on purpose", right? right?!
