Never fucking fails: any time you talk about a harasser, an abusive boss, a toxic coworker, etc. a man will show up to try to shut down the conversation by claiming said person is a good person because they were nice to HIM.

In addition to inheriting sexist, racist DNA from its literary inspirations, the TTRPG community still has a strong insider vs outsider mentality.

Its founding myth is that of the persecuted geek who found friends and refuge in tabletop gaming.

Boomer feminists rail abt barbaric treatment of women in Muslim countries while living in Christian country where doctors reassure men that, in repairing their wives’ bodies from childbirth, they’ve added a husband stitch

hating cats continues to be an excellent sign that a man has issues around boundaries and consent (because this is Twitter: there’s a difference between not wanting a particular type of pet and actively hating it)

Thinking abt people doubling down when told they said racist/misogynist/homophobic/otherwise problematic.

And I honestly think, at least in America, it's got something visceral to do with Christian notions of sin.

Wonder if people from across the political, orientation, & gender spectrums all get mad at ace people for existing bc our existence challenges the idea that sexuality is inherent to humanity & that idea is their bulwark vs inherited Puritan shame.

Just read a woman tell another (who was talking about a dude insisting on arguing in her DMs under the "educate me!" banner):

"Sounds like he wants your time, not your perspective."

And it's the most accurate summation of the way men engage w women I've seen yet.

So I tweeted out a Q to game writers about what they wish others knew about how game writing is different from writing for other media.

I was asking for technical answers. Like how interactive narratives is different.

The article notes that ace people exist & is like “so people who don’t want more sex MAY exist but even those who don’t want more sex should try to be less apathetic about sex,” and

what?

People's incredulous indignation at the idea of Jessica Rabbit as asexual says SOOOOO much about the way our culture views women.

A woman's looks may affect other people's probable level of desire for her, but they have nothing to do with hers for them.

reminder: we have the term "spinster" because spinning was a lucrative enough business that women who got into it could support themselves and choose not to marry

so of course we had to come up with the idea that it was a sad and lonely and undesirable thing to be

Reminder: If someone responds to your lack of "respect" with violence (whether physical or verbal), there's a 99% chance they meant "submissiveness" rather than "respect."

Toxic-masculine men love to play on the double-meaning of "respect":

I can’t tell if white men say things with their whole chest and then, as soon as there’s pushback, are like “the things I said don’t reflect my views” because they’re that silly or because they think everyone else is

Let's talk about "objectivity" & "neutrality" &the status quo for a moment. If you've been following me for a while, you've heard this, but.

People who don't want the status quo to change paint it not changing as the default, natural position.
