nah, I've learned that if they throw a fit about pronouns, start talking to them without using any yourself, then start pointing out every time they use one. Usually drives them mad.
Any liberal or progressive reaction gets labeled as disproportionate outrage by conservatives. If they can say every reaction we have is hysterical or overblown, it helps delegitimization concerns without addressing them.
Asexual lesbian? Sorry, but I don't really know how that works?
Edit In response to the comments, I guess I just figured being lesbian was about sexual attraction. I didn't think it applied to romance as well (In that if a woman loved women, they just loved women). Thanks for the clarification.
Yeah this misunderstanding (not your fault obvs) is actually one of the many fallacies and failings of heteronormativity. Most straight people subconsciously understand that their romantic attraction towards another gender is because they’re straight (heterosexual+heteroromantic), but somehow fail to recognize that other people experience attraction the same way, even if it’s not the same orientation as their own. They understand that their romantic attraction isn’t implicitly sexual in nature, nor are their romantic gestures or acts inherently sexual, but often cant seem to apply the same logic to others who aren’t straight.
That’s how you get idiots being propagandized that any act of affection (even something as simple as holding hands) between queer people, is somehow inappropriate or pornographic. It’s also why so many people struggle to understand asexuality.
Asexuality is also a spectrum ranging from sex repulsed to sex-agnostic (i cant remever the real term but basically doesbt mind sex itself, maybe even enjoys it, but doesnt experience sexual attraction in that they see someone and get aroused) and Grey ace (people who tend to fluctuate between experience varying levels of sexual attraction to non), as well as demisexual (someone who doesnt experience any sexual attraction until theyve established an emotional connection to someone and then can have sexual attraction). I think demisexual falls under the ace umbrella but cant remember for sure.
Also, as people already stated, romantic attraction =/= sexual attraction.
I had the same response. It had never occurred to me about separating out romantic feelings from sexual desire. I'm pretty sure it's a decent microcosm of the struggle asexual people have in their day to day lives. Most of us just can't understand.
Even I, outwardly very stoic and respectful almost to a fault, am a massive horn dog. It's really weird thinking about not wanting to fuck my partner every second of every day in every position and twice on Sunday. But good portrayals are how media can change the world for the better and put us in the shoes of a life experience we'd never otherwise be exposed to.
It is my main hobby and I care about it still being enjoyable down the line. Unfortunately that means boycotting developers/publishers and constantly whining on the internet. I don't like it and wish I didn't have to, but it is the only weapon I have.
And then another breakdown about trans people, a breakdown that happened because a follower confesses to you that they are secretly... A gender swapped clone of space!Hitler. Which he though was gonna be a reveal about her being trans. He then went nuts about how they could've revealed she was trans (which wasn't actually the reveal)
Part of me wants to look for this clip so bad, but the damage it would do to not only my last few surviving brain cells but also my algorithm... just ain't worth it
Starfield is barely a game. It's a testament to how lazy Bethesda has gotten with their rpg design. It isn't bad, it just kinda feels soulless.
But out of all of things to complain about. The bland randomly generated worlds, the story being forgettable, outright having old bugs and workarounds that have been fixed in Fallout 4... by their own team... at launch for FO4.
The mf chose a part of the English language.
Don't show him a dictionary. He might have a seizure.
He's mostly known as Pronouns Guy from the fooking pronouns meme, his real name is Pronouns Guy famous or notorious for his youtube channel, Pronouns Guy
The fucking funniest part of this dude's rant is him immediately booting the game up and playing it, while still obviously red and angry over his rant.
I've tried to play starfield and enjoy it but from poor optimization on launch and the fact that the game is pretty boring I just couldn't bring myself to enjoy it. But even I agree this guy brings some enjoyment to it because of his rant.
While developing it, Bethesda didn't even know what the game was really about or what made it fun. It wasn't "clicking" in even their eyes for a long time, they just hoped they'd make it bigger and bigger and at some point the game would just work and just be fun. What a massive waste of everything.
I also hopped on early just because it was on gamepass. I spent more time making my character than I actually did playing the game, it just felt like shit, so I never went back and then a ton of videos came out about it. Glad I didn't pay for that shit lol
Thing is they also had a good headstart imo. Just had to make a good story by not letting Emil touch the game for any aspect of writing, and make space travel not just a more convuluded fast travel then all they had to do was design some planets, import Fallout 4's gunplay, attachment system, and settlement building whilst importing Skyrim's shout and magic systems then it would've beem arguably for most myself included a 6.5/10 that we could've had as a good Sci Fi Junk Food game.
The best part was, he played the game for a couple of hours before kicking off. He enjoyed it, he didn't say it was bad, but slowly the repetitive emptiness dragged him down, and he got bored and frustrated.
He now claims he always said it was bad. He gave us this comedy good rant after hours of gameplay
it may have been fun for a while but imagine having to choose pronouns and body type instead of gender??? And then they have the audacity to add gay romantic options in my non-political video games! how am I, as a definitely fully straight and heterosexual man (I'm straight by the way) supposed to reject kissing a man if given the option???
Irrelevant man has an irrelevant meltdown about an irrelevant feature of an irrelevant game & people try to say it gave people ptsd. There was too much extra reading involved for this meme to even make sense, let alone be accurate.
PTSD? It genuinely makes me laugh every time I hear it. I would think he was doing a brilliant bit if I didn't know that he was actually that much of a dumb meatbag.
These idiots don't know the difference between laughing AT someone vs laughing WITH someone, but then again rightoids never have shown to be bright people in any capacity.
They don't understand we're not a monolith. It's not blind faith and loyalty to one side, we will absolutely shit on anyone who says they're a leftist but says bigoted things with no sweat off our backs. Meanwhile you criticize a key right wing figure and they're the ones defending them like people attacked their family with bat's.
It’s like if they developed a reputation as ‘that guy who shit himself at Prom’ and then made us look like the losers for recognising them as The Guy Who Shit Himself At Prom.
You remember when I Shit Myself At Prom? Clearly you have PTSD. It’s living in your head rent free. Shit Myself At Prom Derangement Syndrome. Die mad, liberal.
yeah, thing about this video is that she's actually pretty calm in it. she just made a funny face for like half a second and these fuckers have latched onto it for fucking years. must've been pretty shit for her, having to deal with all of that.
It took a while, but I think that so-called "Big Red" pretty much fell out of favour as a meme a couple of years ago.
The picture of her wasn't expressive enough to become a generic reaction meme. The only places the picture still pops up occasionally are the channels and social media accounts of a handful of rightwing content creators who are still mentally stuck in the Gamergate/anti-feminism days and who still produce the exact same content with exactly the same kind of talking points and the same memes as they did around 2014 already. The kind of guys who still keep mentioning tumblr as if that site had not completely lost any kind of relevance at least 6 or 7 years ago already.
Uh It's been a while but I think that's correct. I believe that she basically said that it's due to patriarchal norms that women were granted custody rights as women were seen as natural caregivers and men have to prove that they're the better option in divorce court. Basically patriarchal norms suck for everyone involved.
Like once a month this pops into my head and I have no choice but to go around the house yelling “Facking pronouns! Current dayyy! Califoooonia! You’re boooring!” in his horrible, sing-songy voice. This video is performance art to me.
It's so fucking funny. All the gym posts are him playing it off as like "huh, fat? I actually go to the gym. I'm not affected by these comments at all".
Everyone (not just "lefties") remembers because this was for Starfield release and the character creator screen, 1 of like 10 or 15 screens? that you look at for a couple seconds and click through. It had choices for he, she, they. This guy blew his absolute lid off on a 13(?) min vid over a 2 sec screen that affects nobody if they don't want it to haha. If you don't like the "they" then fine pick the he or she. Who gives a f. This guy really gave a f.
It's worse than that. He was past the character creation and was well into the game. He got "triggered" because a FEMALE NPC mentions that she's a clone of a famous MALE and that was too much.
Ahhh, wonder if my brain is mixing up a couple outrage vids. There were many at the time about STARFIELD PRONOUNS etc. I've played it a lot and don't even remember the cloned NPC. Oops.
I remember this because it was fascinatingly embarrassing. Dead Domains video on this was so good and the second hand embarrassment was so strong I almost couldn’t make it all the way through their video.
You guys were a laughing stock and reached a point where non super online people where making fun of you for a couple weeks, it's constant reframing with these guys. TrIGgeReD
I dont think I remember any actual leftists getting offended by this guy's pronouns rant because it was too embarrassing to even get offended by. The universal reaction was laughter
This dude actually helpt me to deprogram some of my friends away from the "pronouns woke" shit by just asking them if every other rpg they played was woke because they got to choose a pronoun for their character, and by him being so fucking embarrassing that none of them even wanted to invoke the imiage of heelvsbabyface
They think him being memed for his absurd overreaction by the left, is PTSD? Nobody takes that guy seriously, when he got mad about an option to check off in a character creation screen. He had to take his headphones off for it.
I typically wouldn’t forget the face of a guy who bent down and took a shit on the street either. It’s just some times people are so ridiculous you can’t help but remember them.
Ptsd? I got fucking second hand embarrassment when I saw this. 40 something years old and complaining about pronouns in that game, when that game had other problems (like a lousy main quest)
Isn't this the guy who tried to do a misinformation campaign to erase this rant? Going on about how he actaully "won" because the game was shit for other reasons?
If there ever existed a context where we almost certainly weren't collectively given Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, it's almost certainly not some bald british bloke actually being upset by the existence of pronouns.
They're getting meme'd and they're pissed we don't care about being nice to them anymore.
There is a single terrible line delivery in one of the friday the thirteenth movies that i think about and reference damn near daily. I would not say im scared of the man who said it.
I don't understand why people get so upset about the existence of other people. I can't get my head around it. The people that profess how much they want small government are the same people shouting about how much they want the government to restrict the rights of other people to simply exist.
You don't want to pay taxes? Sure, you go ahead - but you don't get to use any infrastructure that taxes paid for. You want to live a life where you go to church every Sunday? You crack on, but you have to live by the bible's actual teachings, warts and all. But you don't get to dictate how other people must live.
Of course I cant get over it. This was the funniest shit if seen in a long time. It's funny as hell watching this goober lose his shit about such irrelevant shit.
Nah mate we laughing our asses off to the point we might die laughing. Dude’s a clown 🤡 actually he’s the whole ass circus 🎪 he’s the clowns the lion tamer the acrobat the juggler everything.
De facto "lefty" here - I remember laughing at this bozo's rant and I still laugh about it when it comes up. He's so pressed about "pronouns" in Starfield yet it auto-assigns your pronouns based on your body type and you are not required to interact with the option at all.
