This is why it is so important when making art to absolutely never consider your audience, and in fact to try and spite them as much as possible.

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

It's even more angering to me when other trans people will see "cringe" trans art and say that it's "setting the community back" or "making us look bad". Actually transphobes are going to hate us no matter what, you're just miserable and want everyone else to hate themselves like you do

I think it's cool as hell that people resonate with Jax as a trans character, that's cool and I genuinely, wholeheartedly love that you have a character that hits like that for you. Doesn't mean I have to like it or think it's good trans rep lol

I used to never read fanfics because I only liked engaging in official media but ngl a lot of the official works for stuff I like SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSS Plus I'm starting to just generally be more indulgent in what's "fun" rather than what makes sense thematically and narratively,

People misunderstand me when I say I'm skeptical of Tralsei, I think it's a good theory and I'm CERTAIN Ralsei is not cisgender I just don't think it's a strictly binary "Ralsei is transfem" Based on what we know about the character nonbinary or genderfluid just makes a lot of sense to me (1/2)

(2/2) not that I'd be even remotely upset about transfem Ralsei I think that would rule, like Bunlith I'm ALWAYS open and encouraging of trans stories where a character is like, actually coming to terms with and coming out as their trans identity, regardless of what that identity is.

As much as it stings, as rough as it is, it's hard to fault them for it. Dude $50,000 would change my fucking life.

A hacker sparked an uproar within the PlayStation 5 homebrew scene for privately reporting an exploit to Sony and cashing in on a $50,000 reward, rather than keeping it confidential for the community. https://bit.ly/4jHe1SQ

Tim Sweeney also is aggressively repulsive to women and developers previously interested in his platform, funny how that works out

IGN@ign.com

Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney doubled down on his severe criticism of Valve, calling Steam’s AI content disclosure a “political act.” https://bit.ly/4jHenJg

Worth noting too that Tim inadvertently is saying no AI disclosure is also a political act he's just not smart enough to fully grasp what says in context of his statements once you start thinking about it too hard

The very funny potential future reality where Steam stops seeing nearly as many AI slop titles and they all migrate over to EGS, further devaluing that platform

2 years since Shadow Gens, good game. Still a lot that I'm iffy on but it's hard to say it's not one of the strongest 3D Sonic games ever made.

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

IGN@ign.com

After hearing news of BioWare's closure on Wednesday, over 75,000 Mass Effect fans have signed a petition demanding that EA put another studio in charge of the franchise or license out the IP. https://bit.ly/4siIubW

Ngl I look at the "worst games of all time" lists and Sonic 06 feels like a really weird inclusion on them sometimes. Yes it's awful, horrible even, but BUBSY 3D bad? Big Rigs bad? Have you even played those games?

It's cool to me that people can be (and are) fans of Sonic The Hedgehog without ever having touched a video game. Something that was happening even in the 90s thanks to the shows and the comics and now thanks to the movie.

People acting surprised by this as if it's even the first time this exact same guy has slipped up like this and we don't have like, actual tangible evidence of the game being in development

IGN@ign.com

ICYMI: A Valve developer mistakenly slipped up and made mention of Half-Life 3's long rumored codename during a recent conference. Is it finally real? https://t.co/RjbKnIDQOb

People treat fans of Sonic 06 like they're little incest Nazi freaks who deserve to be punished for daring to (checks notes) enjoy a video game that people think is bad.

I think it's a bad game, unquestionably. It feels like shit to play, the story isn't very good, but like, that's also my opinion and I think you're a little bitch if you look down on people for having differing opinions about a god damn video game.

I'm being so unironically serious I'll take 06 any and every day of the week. I know mfs will try n clown on people who make this choice but idc I'll take a buggy, unpolished experience any and every day of the week over something that has nothing to say.

Sonic 06 or Sonic Forces? #SonicTheHedgehog

Thing is I'm not even of the mind that Forces is "just okay" or "mid" I do truly think it's an awful experience with dull level design, poor control, and ZERO substance to make any of that even remotely tolerable. The best thing I can say about it is that it can at least be beaten in like 3 hours.

Tim Sweeney literally holds the keys to every problem he has with Steam as a platform but rather than making EGS an even remotely attractive platform for ANYONE to use he spends all his time bitching on Twitter

epic games store is so ass that tim sweeney has been having a meltdown all weekend about a policy on steam like he doesn't have any viable alternative as a customer

Being a Classic 2D Sonic fan is a very comfortable existence. Mostly great official games, an ENDLESS stream of ROM Hacks, mods, and fan games, not even to mention the growing number of incredible indies heavily or partially inspired by the classic games, shit rules

Replaying PAIN PS3 and more than ever I'm continuously blown away we never got a full 3D Angry Birds game, feels like a no brainer and could've easily served a similar purpose to something like PVZ Garden Warfare

My favorite thing about TADC is that there's so much official post finale content and I'm pretty sure not a single bit of it actually acknowledges Jax as trans

If you use Twitter it is actively melting your brain and you need to save yourself. Even if you think you're fine, I pinky promise you you're not.

It is really darkly funny that someone who is actually Arab decided to make an Arabian Nights inspired Kingdom Hearts game with levels inspired by actual Iranian architecture only for an army of Americans to accuse him of ripping off the racist Disney movie caricature of his culture

not to mention when somebody tries to make a KH1-like they get incessantly called a plagiarist

Instead of spending money on weird vaguely pedophilic gooner statue that will serve to enable and fund Trans erasure and genocide you should consider giving me $5 instead, cheaper than the statue too
