When bro is such a bro you completely forget he's trans.

My wife's got a friend this happens with all the time. She'll be talking to him and something about our oldest will come up. She'll make some remark to him thinking he'll relate, entirely forgetting that he had to transition so he didn't experience whatever it was the same way.

People: "We're tired of all these 'misunderstood villains' we want unapologetically evil for the sake of evil."

Frieren: "Okay here's monsters that learned to imitate human language and emotion solely to manipulate and kill humans."

The same people: "No! You're wrong! They're just misunderstood and you're doing a genocide!"

Yeah, any media that depicts something human like being an irredeemable monster that the only solution is destruction is inherently tricky because dehumanizing is pretty much always the first step in mass atrocities irl. But my God I've seen so many people tie themselves in knots trying to give the benefit of the doubt to demons in Frieren.

I think I get what it's saying? It's saying that while your phone isn't directly listening to your conversations in any meaningful way they collect crazy amounts of other data on basically everyone and can piece it together in such a way that they can make some scary accurate guesses as to the kind of ads to serve you based on what their systems have gathered your interests are and where/with whom you spend your time.

I'm not entirely sure. They didn't really seem to present much more than speculation on it.

Oh yes, tie their ability to stay in the country to them staying in a marriage to someone who actively despises their existence...

Oh wait, that's the "Greatness" a lot of these chuds want to bring back. The days before the country was "ruined" by "No-Fault Divorce" when women couldn't have their own bank accounts and were at the mercy of their husbands/fathers... Right.

Yes, Democrats bad. We get it. What's your solution for that other than the Glorious Revolution™ that most of us disabled and/or living in poverty won't survive.

Not voting for the Democrats really showed them for supporting the genocide. Bet they reversed course on tha- Oh... You mean they decided that Gaza wasn't the problem and instead it was their support of trans people like me? Damn...

Not gonna lie, that's significantly less scary than the snow speaking Finnish.

Classic Lavender Marriage is the easy answer. In my wife's case she is deeply intimidated by pretty women so she has enough trouble talking to them. She couldn't flirt with one to save her gay ass.

Her not being attracted to me like that is fine by me since I'm ace. We're basically just besties on a permanent sleepover that we formalized for tax purposes.

I personally injure my own large intestine for gluttony.

From Wikipedia:

In November 2022, Gearbox Entertainment acquired the Risk of Rain IP. Hopoo Games remains an independent studio. Hopoo now states that they are working on other games and projects.

The Steam page for the DLC also lists Gearbox Software as the developer and Gearbox Publishing as the publisher so yeah. Seems accurate.

Moreover, by their own stories not only did God intentionally make that person trans but God likely deliberately did so to test the people interacting with said trans person on if they could love the trans person as required by their faith.

But no. It's never that because the religious argument is just a post hoc justification for the hate.

You're correct. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The outrage is entirely manufactured just like with Critical Race Theory. Invented out of whole cloth almost entirely by the likes of Christopher Ruffo. It's straight up just DEI is when minorities... Anything.

Nah, for the Kpop group it's a shortening of the group's full Korean name Bangtan Sonyeondan which in English translates to "Bulletproof Boy Scouts". Though in recent years they apparently also added "Beyond the Scene" to try to show how they've grown since they first began.
