I’m not expressing faux outrage, I’m not even trying to express real outrage. I suggest you look up what projecting means if you don’t think telling someone they are projecting is telling them how they feel.

Sorry, I don’t really want to have this conversation with you anymore.

I mean, I think I explained my position pretty clearly if you read both of my comments. I don’t have a problem with male nudity (or any nudity), I just know that many people use their own nudity as a weapon against others (in countries where it is taboo). I know this because I’ve seen them do it with my own eyes, I’ve had them do it to me, I’ve heard them brag about it, etc.

Simply because it is appropriate in a given setting doesn’t mean people cannot have ill intentions. A space where it is expected sounds like the perfect place to do it without consequences. But seriously, if you have never known a male to show their genitals to others intentionally in a locker room then you just aren’t paying attention or you’ve never been in a men’s locker room.

I’m also obviously not saying every single man or even most of them are doing this. I very clearly said it’s just non-zero. You’re welcome to disagree, but suggesting that I’m projecting and telling me how I feel is not welcome. I literally even said it’s coming from a puritanical place, I can’t figure out why you’d even suggest this.

They want more opportunities to indoctrinate the youths

I imagine a lot of the liberal influencers talk about it and just call them communists. I think that’s the entire point of maga communism even if it isn’t an actual gov run op. The people doing it are all the type to do this kind of shit as a way to get attention and “troll the left”

So the reason I think that is because I’m certain a non-zero amount are doing it intentionally. I’m certain of this because so many men send unsolicited dick pics that I can’t imagine there isn’t overlap here. They know they can get in trouble if it’s too overt, but at least some of them know they’re making people uncomfortable and they like that shit.

You just need to find some ex mil commies. There aren’t many, but they’re out there

games would be a lot better if we could get rid of the g*mers

Sounds like DEI to me

Half of me thinks this should be totally normal and our aversion to nudity is rooted in puritanical nonsense. The other half of me thinks these dudes are basically sexually assaulting people.

Ohhh I see, they’ve mistaken the so-called maga communists for something more than national socialists doing yet another appropriation

The API changes were the main reason I finally bailed on reddit. I do not like their site/app and they killed my favorite third party app. I only find myself using reddit when Hexbear posts about something. Bailing on reddit was great for me, way too many rightwingers there and even the left subs are basically just radlibs mad at communists for being right all the time (db0 feels like a clone of the reddit left)

deeply unserious

I think another great way is waiting a year or two, wait for a deep discount to buy. You dont have to miss out you just have to send the message that the game wasn’t worth your immediate attention or the full price they asked for

Libs don’t even try to understand critical support and what it means. Every time it’s just “omg you love Russia and everything they do” or some other nonsense. They have no depth to their thoughts, it’s like the first thing that comes to mind is the thing they will believe for the rest of their lives.

Their knee jerk reaction is their ideology and they have the audacity to act like communists are incoherent? They’re the ones simultaneously telling me the US gov is bad, but we should support US imperialism because bombing trans people is better than their government oppressing them?

Idk I was a weird kid who got into civ when I was ~10, but you’re right that it might be too complicated for some children. There’s another old game (like 30 years old) called Slay that looks a lot like this Feudal Tactics game, but I don’t think it’s foss. I’m actually kinda wondering if this is a foss version of it

Other reply is spot on. He’s a relatively funny person, but his politics are so liberal that it ruins everything

Pearlmania only has good takes when it’s shit like this

Not sure why I let myself be hopeful about a rich person

The only friends I’ve ever had that felt genuine are also neurodivergent. I moved away from everyone and don’t really have friends in person anymore, but I highly recommend trying to suss out some autistic and/or ADHD folks. Not that it always pans out, plenty of us suck too, but the odds seem way better because it’ll be easier for them to give you room to fuck up socially.

The person you’ve been dealing with probably is trying to control the group. They likely feel threatened by you, especially if there isn’t another woman in the group. Lots of people think everyone acts the same way they do, so if she’s controlling then she thinks you’re gonna try to take control from her because that’s what she would do.

Anyway, I hope you keep trying to find friends and have more luck in the future. You’re definitely not alone in these experiences, but there is still hope. I’m over 40 and have been through it over and over, but I found a couple of people along the way that made it worth the struggle.

Got curious how they managed this. I hadn’t looked into pal action much, but it turns out there’s a dude named Fergie Chambers who is rich af (like 100s of millions) in the background paying legal fees and such.

I’m so torn between admiring him and being disappointed that he’s not doing more to build a vanguard (but maybe he is idk). Either way, being that wealthy and not being a capitalist piece of shit about it is impressive.

Edit: y’all think he’d pay my rent if I do agitprop full-time?
