Memes are nothing like logographs (“kanji”) linguistically speaking

This actually happened to me once. I illegally streamed a show and then this Italian guy Vinnie the Foot blasts through my screen. Nice guy. Asked for a towel, I made him an espresso, we watched movies and smoked cigars til sunrise.

is TPB dead?

Anti-feminism has taken a huge hold in SK. it’s partially related to the draft, but that’s nothing new. women have been getting increased respect over the past decades, esp in sharp contrast to the pre-war era when women didnt even deserve names beyond “X’s mom”.

the situation for women is actually improving a lot here, in many ways better than in other developed nations. consider it just one last baby whine

Those instances are terrible for many, many reasons. Transphobia is NOT one of those reasons.

I can’t tell if you’re trolling with this map or not. Would be helpful if it included the source language. Like do these originate from Ingvaeonic, Old English, Latin, Celtic?

Oh come on, now you’re just feigning ignorance. The body types correspond to both modes of human sexual dimorphic presentations. Just because you take away the names doesn’t mean the dimorphic traits are absent. It IS a sexually dimorphic character creation system. So within that, let’s look at who gets to be the default and who gets to be the “second sex” (highly recommend reading de Beauvoir, again). OP is taking issue with not just the veiled binary but also the hierarchy within it.

Let me put it this way. Imagine if the body types were no longer sexually dimorphic but had varied skin tones. And despite the fact that we know skin tones present in a variety of ways, they only offered light peach skin tones and dark skin tones. And they made the secondary one the darker skin tone. Maybe you or I would have a problem with it, maybe we wouldn’t. But could you understand why someone might take issue with that? It’s a fair objection to make, whether we can conceive of a solution or not.

And hey I think OP’s solution would apply pretty well here: let us create characters with a variety of presentations! Or maybe just take away the “light” and “dark” options? A lot of people in this thread responded with great rationale from game dev standpoints, and that stuff is valid. I can see why devs do things the way they do. But I can also see why OP doesn’t like it.

OOPS sex is a social construct too

“Why do we have to be Universe B?! You be Universe A and we’ll be Universe’s 1!”

lol you should see what the slider does. it’s not great. max femme makes you turn cartoonish puffy and red

yikes, OP wasn’t calling this secondary any more than Simone de Beauvoir was when she published The Second Sex… it’s an actual problem that deserves recognition, and shitting on someone for recognizing it? you’re the one reinforcing the problem now!!

OP was merely gesturing at another instance of patriarchal culture treating the feminine as secondary by putting it second. not a controversial revelation tbh quite trite really

still haven’t tried it! it’s in my library

Holy shit i had no idea Ethiopia was so crowded. it’s cool how you can see population swells around the Nile and Lake Victoria too. and the Mediterranean coast of course. and I guess Nigeria is just a good place to live??

looks awesome. gonna have to search for a URL

this is gorgeous thank you so much for sharing it. so interesting. terrible projection for many reasons of course but fascinating for so many more

I’m guessing the 33% vote rate is due to your intro, not your explanations?

I know Threads sucks, but where would it fall on this? Another Networking one?
