Literally nothing lol. It’s just a right wing conspiracy theory based on fear of change.

My interest are gaming, standup comedy, memes, react videos, metalurgy, machining, blacksmithing,

Because a lot of the type of guys who like seeing those stupid conservative videos also like many of the same things as you. Gaming^(TM) is well known to have a problem with the alt-right, react videos have a very similar structure to conservative “libs destroyed with fact and logic” types of videos, and finally a lot of conservatives like to think of themselves as an old fashioned man’s-man so they enjoy things like metalwork and other typical “manly” careers.

Yes. With Ron the fascist DeSantis deliberately alienating Trump supporters I think it’s safe to say that his arm of the party has shifted from a leopards eating faces party to a jaguars eating leopards and faces party.

Now do that for every single company.

Free speech has always had limits.

It’s mostly about the government not arresting you for what you say. It doesn’t protect you from the consequences of saying hateful things in a public space. Say something racist in an area largely populated by the race you’re talking about and you’re likely to get kicked, post some right wing misinformation in an online space that is largely left-leaning and you’re likely to have your post deleted. Neither of those things infringe on anyone’s right to free speech because other people also have the right to not want to listen to Nazis or racists or TERFS etc.

Yeah there’s a few of those types here too unfortunately.

Cyberpunk had the same thing, but it turned out to be a) very minimal options b) made no difference at all to story or romance c) irrelevant because without mods you couldn’t see them in game apart from in the inventory screen.

I suspect this would be the same, just a pointless feature to generate clickbait articles and maybe get a few more sales to horny coomer idiots.

More or less. It's a one minute YouTube shorts clip of some podcast studio with a sort of wannabe Joe Rogan type ranting at another man, who is presumably pro trans rights.

He says "I think there is a trans genocide", just to make it seem like he gives a shit about transgender people, and then starts accusing the other guy of deliberately sterilising people through the use of hormones and surgery and says that trans people "can't feel sexual feelings of any kind" (presumably he means the can't orgasm). It's also very obviously heavily heavily edited to make the knock of Rogan look good and the other guy look bad.

Just typical conservative manosphere nonsense with a bunch of bearded guys who ranting about things they know absolutely nothing about.

Hags for Hitler, Ku Klux Karens.

Fuck off, stop posting this hateful bullshit.

It’s not a genocide, that’s not how genocide works

He talks about doctors sterilising people, as if they’re doing it forcibly — but they aren’t. The surgery that transgender people can get is entirely optional, they aren’t being forced to do it. In fact a lot of transgender people don’t undergo any surgery — and the ones that do choose to have to be fully informed of all the risks just like anyone else undergoing any other kind of surgery. Trans people can and do have children, some because they never underwent the surgery that would make them unable to (remember Thomas Beatie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Beatie ?) and others through things like adoption or surrogacy.

Also, the idea that they can’t feel sexual pleasure is just categorically untrue https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/transgender-women-after-surgery#achieving-orgasm

Agreed. Billionaires should not exist (100% wealth tax above 9,999,999), and all companies should be owned by the employees so everyone gets an equal share of the profits.
