I was in a game where we all played kobolds and lived in a old mine, except during a winter food raid on the local gnomes we managed to break into the mayor’s house and steal the treasury. When they demanded we return the safe we swapped the gold for lead, then they sent adventurers who we bribed with a gold bar each and the knowledge they had been lied to about the number of kobolds they had to fight.

In the end we ended up bloodlessly annexing the gnomes and putting them under “oppressive” restrictions and tax burden that ended up better than before we took over accidentally exposed former mayor’s massive embezzlement (In character we still don’t understand what he did wrong, we see it as dragon behavior) which started a pattern. We would scheme and plan evil things but end up being a net good for the area and because our party face was adorable as a sack of kittens no one noticed that both of the planners are evil as fuck

Glenn Close is flawless and Horace and Jasper are played by the Weasley father and Dr. House. Names escape me today

Fried ice cream

No, just casual misandry disguised as a joke.

I’m going to guess Swedish on the cow one, or at least Scandinavian, it sounds like something I’d hear out of the northern Midwest about things not being chaotic

Why should I continue to lurk in spaces where I am a second class citizen?

It’s a bug in every engine I’ve played a game on then. I thought we settled the 30 vs 60 fps bullshit a decade ago

It’s the input lag, I can see and feel the difference

Legends is appropriate, it’s what GEORGE LUCAS had control over. And you asked why the Rebels didn’t use peaceful resistance, I explained why. Maybe read my words instead of pushing an agenda

France never let theirs go. That said WTF!?

And TSMC is rigged for scuttling, China would get rubble if the invasion isn’t near instant

Off the top of my head Opresser gets the idea across without suggesting a conspiracy by men as a gender to keep women repressed, as you said this state of being oppresses men just as it does women. You’d get more allies and less friction from the layperson if half aren’t subconsciously painted as minions and actors for the opressing class.

This thread makes it very clear society thinks its OK for women to do it.

I’d use a genderless term, again to avoid alienating fence sitters and outsiders. Because people don’t like being associated with one if the greatest evils of society simply because they were born male. What is so fucking hard to understand about this?

I have not had that experience no… My family bred and trained dogs for 3 generations, mostly sled dogs and k9 for the local cops (this was the 50s and Alaska) and more recently we raised pythons, along with rats to feed them. Breeders graduated to pet and got cushy retirements in the giant birdcage we set up.

When the criticism is “How dare he express his own pain.” Yeah you better fucking believe I’ll see you as the enemy and come out swinging, men are EXTREMELY disadvanted in society regarding having our mental health issues and trauma recognized as legitimate.

Edit: After surviving my last suicide attempt I promised myself to never be silent when the same pain that eats at my soul to this day is dismissed. This entire post is soaked in it.

My suggestion is NOT GENOCIDE is that clear enough? How stupid do I have to make it.l before you understand the obliteration of a people and culture are wrong, evil actions?

You asked why the Rebels didn’t peacefully protest in lore, I was answering you, the Rebels did try peaceful protest at first, and again Palpatine committed atrocities on them in response.

Calling it the Patriarchy genders the oppressor, women in the same position do the same inhumane and cruel tactics to retain power as their male counterparts. Toxic Masculinity vs Internalized Misogyny is another, men are toxic actors while women who exhibit the same toxicity are treated as victims, the flagrant sexism I encounter in e ery feminist space I lurk in because as a man I am not allowed to speak. That’s my problem,the sheer utter hypocrisy. I will never understand how feminist thinkers can be so talented at recognizing the power of wording when it’s used against them but somehow become denser than a neutron star when it comes to seeing their own problematic and frankly hateful word choices

A lot of little mammals are this way, pet rats for example
