I’ve removed a bunch of comments from this thread.
The “but” in this meme means “But there are instances where I don’t support a trans person’s identity/equal rights”. It means that there is never a scenario where you think it’s ok to suggest that trans people should have less rights than cis people, and that there is never a scenario where you think it’s ok to invalidate a trans persons identity.
If your reply is something along the signs of supporting the “but…” because you think “actually, there are some shitty trans people”, then cool, we know, but this isn’t the thread for it, and you’re pulling trans people down in a trans space, to defend a position no one was making. This isn’t that thread. This is a thread for support. So I’ve removed those “gotcha” replies.
If your reply is “actually, there are times when trans people don’t deserve equal rights or to have their identity respected”, then your comment has been removed, and you’ve been permanently banned from all blahaj spaces.
I spent my life thinking I should have been a girl/woman. One day I realised I was.
Of course, it was a bit more of a journey than that makes it sound, but that’s the gist of it

2·8 天前Rallyman GT. I like the PvP element of Rallyman more than Heat or Formula D.
I’d argue that a company is more like someone not caring if it runs anyone over or not than someone who accidentally ran someone over. Wilful disregard rather than carelessness. But international harm is still worse than either
That instance is closing down in July, so many communities are likely moving (or the members are)
I dropped literally everything in your list for the reasons you outlined (except WoW, which I dropped before I knew anything about Blizzard).
But Rowling is worse than them.
Corporations are amoral, and entirely self serving. They will fuck over anyone if it earns the corporation a profit.
Rowling is not amoral. Rowling is driven by hate, and her goal is not self interest, and her harm is not indiscriminate. Her harm is targeted and deliberate, and she explicitly uses her visibility to normalise and encourage harm to the people she is targeting.
And deliberate targeted hate that tries to create more hate is worse than amoral self interest.
I’m in this picture, and I’m ok with that :P

Rallyman GT. I enjoy it much much more than Formula D. Formula D didn’t have enough crunch for me

3·10 天前Bingo!
I couldn’t find a way of distinguishing it from other racing games without giving it away, but personally, I love Rallyman GT but don’t so much love other racing games, because the positioning and how it impacts you and other players is much more important in Rallyman

Blahaj Lemmy Meta@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Should we join the pledge to boycott lemmy.world?
41·14 天前We’re aware of it, but at this point, we’re not planning on it.
The lens through which I view decisions like this is the health of the trans and gender diverse community on the threadiverse. Each time, basically, the process is answering the question “Would banning this user or defederating this instances strengthen the gender diverse community on the threadiverse or weaken it?” In the case of instances full of transphobes that take no action on transphobia, that’s an easy question.
But in the case of lemmy.world? There are a LOT of gender diverse users on lemmy.world, and the admins are responsive whenever I reach out to them about transphobes on their instance. Defederating them would notably splinter and diminish the community, and I’m not sure the gains are worth that.
If there is a strong community desire that it happen, then we’re open to it, but otherwise, I feel it would just leave us with islands of isolated trans folk that can’t interact with each other, more than we already have…
Edit - I will add, we have a good relationship with the FAF admins, and we share a matrix space independent of lemmy.world and the other mega instances to aid with moderating against bigotry.

4·18 天前I’m not “meh” about denouncing bigots. If you’ve supported a bigot and you don’t actively and vocally walk it back, that’s not “meh”. That’s a refusal to acknowledge the issue and the harm done in normalising the voices and visibility of bigots






















Because I value community, and I’m not interested in a community filtered through the interests of a profit driven company
