There's a setting in your store preferences to hide those games. It distinguishes between "there's sometimes nudity" and "porn game" even. 1000038244

If I had to guess I'd say it's based on the Fairly Oddparents episode where Timmy becomes a girl for a day and spends time with Trixie trying to figure out what she wants for her birthday.

Now I'm imagining the difference between normal and Weapons-Grade Hand Holding.

That's only if you're a person from outside that was put into the simulation. If we're all just simulated beings we'd never know.

I'd have to think that if they were able to do that, then they surely would have already. The only explanation that makes sense to me as to why they haven't is that to hide all the info their side doesn't want out would make it look bad for them. They've fed into the conspiracies around Epstein for so long that they've gotta believe leaving that big a hole would be worse for them than hiding the files altogether.

The fact that you are saying this after everything I've said tells me you either haven't been actually reading anything I've written or you care more about demonstrating your Purity than actually being effective at anything.

Do you actually think that this is the best use of your time and energy? Scolding someone for posting a benign reference to HP on as you have already stated a queer-friendly instance? A reference that as I've said already does more to introduce HP fans to She-Ra than it does to boost fucking Harry Potter of all things. How does this post not existing do literally anything to deplatform fucking Joanne Rowling?

There is much more value in saying "Hey, did you like Harry Potter but hate the transphobic shrew that made it? Have I got some good news for you!" than there is in scolding them for a benign reference like you're doing.

!Edit: let me guess, your next line is that there's no such thing as a benign reference to Harry Potter.!<

You're still doing exactly what I'm talking about. Do you really think that a passing reference to the 4 houses which have long since transcended the books to become their own brand of nerd astrology is in any way comparable to the entirety of the book series that to this day still literally puts money in Joanne's pocket? This is exactly the lack of nuance I'm talking about.

Don't you think that there might be some value in using those connections to HP to push people into actually good series by actually good people instead? That referencing HP in a way that doesn't monetarily or culturally benefit Joanne and tying the dynamics that many nerds fell in love with into those newer series could pull fans away from her? That some people might relate to those descriptions and actually try out a show like She-Ra?

No that's Abu. You're thinking of that alien dude that eats cats.

They could, and this tweet could also be from before Joanne decided to start showing how evil her views on trans people are. When nobody could reasonably expect ND or anyone else for that matter to have started avoiding Joanne's shit. Her Tweet in support of that other transphobe Maya whatever was on December 12, 2019. Two days after this tweet from ND. The only thing anybody "knew" about her transphobic stance was that she'd publicly liked a video by some other transphobe but claimed it was an accident that happened while she was taking a screenshot.

Maybe we could be a little charitable about an objectively speaking rather benign post that comes from the Before Times and still makes an amusing and interesting point about some beloved characters? Even if it does make passing reference to HP.

To be entirely clear. Joanne and everything she stands for can fuck all the way off back to the darkest corner of her fucking castle of mold. But that doesn't mean we collectively have to entirely cut ties with absolutely everything that so much as mentions terms from HP. I may not be a trans woman, but Joanne would still hate my nonbinary ass for having had the absolute audacity to have been born bearing a penis. There's room for nuance here.

The absolute least surprising thing about that situation. He's been so absolutely weird about her every time he speaks about her. Makes my fucking skin crawl.

I know the feeling as someone with ADHD. There are many things that I want to go but cannot for the life of me motivate myself to actually do them.

Yeah I missed that one. When I was writing it I changed my wording from "they should not be allowed," to "no one should be allowed," and missed a word. Thanks.
