  • I am often annoyed that lots of people say, wholeheartedly accept representation of diverse individuals, without considering that writers might not be creating them for the good will of it, but are only in it for the money. Said writers might make characters halfheartedly, or not care about the character at all.

  • Well, I took a careful look at socialism, even with it's history, and I concluded that, even with said possible flaws in place, it is ultimately for the betterment of people, to have a system where they get their basic needs fulfilled, rather than to live in an inherently exploitative and competitive system such as capitalism.

  • I mean that, I have seen lots of people react unfairly to say, the idea of a woman protagonist in games that are going to be released. They seem to be basing their reactions off solely a kneejerk impulse, but perhaps those same individuals might be seeing what they think is a pattern where they think all works with progressive ideas are poorly written.

  • I am aware that it seemed I was pointing fingers, but I didn't know how else to bring it up without too much tact or too much passive voice. It is also often frustrating when people don't care about finer details. Every time I bring up nuanced parts of both sides, my mom always accuses me of "being argumentative for its own sake"

  • That is pretty much exactly it. You get used to it. More specifically, you get resigned about no healthcare, insurance and healthcare that can wipe out savings, being among the most overworked people in the world.... Eventually you are forced to psychologically adapt by forcing yourself to become more or less emotionally callus to it, in order to survive with your faculties mostly intact.

  • Do you mean the mods at neurodiverse? I have thought of asking for a step by step guide for say, making a mega thread or a guide for how to find movie nights. I am so scared of trying things, that I don't try if I don't know what to do, without a guide.
