Most of our write-ins are lumped together. Claudia de la Cruz only got nine votes here, one of them of course was me.

Well, it's even weirder because, if I understood what I read correctly, the Typhlosion was the only party that really could consent. It talked to the girl both in a shifted human form and in its real form. The girl I can only assume was underage because they kept calling her a girl. So the Typhlosion was the real creeper. Also this took place in some ancient era where the boundary between Pokemon and humans was blurred. It has Japanese youkai vibes for sure. I don't know about the other stories, though, I only heard the Typhlosion one.

Obviously they'll be playing Space Station 14 which could use more players and servers.

We are this close to entombing our presidents in a golden throne and worshipping them for millenia.

Yeah, this article definitely gives me the impression that this person doesn't know what they're talking about. Hyping up how the parents feel shame for yelling and completely overlooking the shame imposed on the kid? In fact, completely overlooking the kid altogether?? The only time they mention doing right by the kid is in context of doing right by the parent. But yeah spanking is just wrong: getting angry and hitting your kid seems like it has a different term associated with it. And yelling fails to effect positive change, and easily causes negative impacts. This reads as someone trying to justify old-fashioned (and almost always wrong) methods using new-fashioned ideas of authenticity and avoiding shame.

Terrifying. "We believe in the sanctity of the bible and its influence on the founding of our nation" but also "Yeah, George Washington is on the same level as God."

This looks like one of the statues from Bioshock Infinite...

Hopefully I'm preaching to the choir and the main response from everybody is that this is obvious and didn't need to be said.

I read a few comments from some gross cishets about how angry they are about the female Custode. They prop up the Imperium of Man as though they are some paragon of morality and not the picture of everything wrong with imperialism. Naturally this perfectly moral force would have only men in its ranks, clearly! They don't seem to realize that if women are left out we have a sexist/mysogynist system which is not worth praising, and if they include women then it's the imperialist machine trying to keep up appearances. Frankly, I've always figured the Imperium didn't care about gender or race because everyone is suitable to die in combat and be ground into food for the starving populace.

tl;dr Men are upset that women exist and missed the whole satire

I mean, not normalizing self-harm would be cool too.

Ableism on Hexbear? (hexbear.net)

I notice a lot of people use terms like "psychotic" or "psychopath" as insults and negative descriptions on here. These are clinical terms that are used to describe real people with difficulties, not boogeymen! I don't disagree with the sentiment that these people are doing wrong, but if you wouldn't use the r-slur or "autistic" as an insult (which you shouldn't) then you shouldn't use these words either. And I get the idea of calling someone delusional, but take care that you don't just mean "I disagree with them." Though by posting on neurodiverse I imagine I'm preaching to the choir.

Sincerely, a casual schizoaffective disorder haver.

It's like they totally missed the satire and just went, "Yeah, we should have an Imperium of Man with a God Emperor who's long dead but we worship anyway!"

Wait a minute. So people who are inadmissible include those associated with a that forcibly suppresses opposition, but trust us, we're not doing that to communist parties. Don't worry, you can totally trust us!
