  • If you WANT to say transracial or transspecies or transnational is a thing, by all means do some research and prove it through studies and peer review. Until then, it is unlikely to be recognized the same way that transgender has because it has a lot of supporting evidence.

    I want to play a game with you. You're demanding evidence for something that some people have a lot of experience with, but most people don't care to investigate. I wanna do the same thing.

    I've decided that fish aren't real. I want you to link a scientific journal article that says fish are real. Not one that presupposes the existence of fish in general, one that asks if fish actually exist and asserts an answer from evidence.

    If you can't prove fish are real, why should anyone have to prove otherkin are real?

    Buuuuuuuut, if you really want scientific articles on otherkin....

  • but, let’s not equivocate gender and species

    No. Otherkin are valid. The social construct of species isn't.

    Asexual reproduction. Sapiens-Neanderthal hybrids. Tree grafting. Speciation is nonsense with no basis in empirical observation. The only reason it's become an accepted paradigm in the scientific community is that the convenience outweighs the inaccuracy in a lab context. It doesn't when we're talking about otherkin. When we're talking about otherkin, the cost of continuing to believe in the made up nonsense that is species is too high.

  • Sometimes comic artists and other creatives put characters in their works who have bad opinions they disagree with. Pizzacake doesn't agree with the opinion that men can't be raped, she just depicted it in a comic. Depiction isn't the same as agreement. If it was, then George Lucas would be a Sith and Mary Shelley would be an abusive parent.

  • I like her comic. It's satire. She doesn't agree with the misandry in the comic, you're supposed to think the women's opinions are wrong. She's on the men's side.

  • Right, so when Bernie Sanders says socialism is good, that's a bland "middle of the road" take given his fan base?

    If so, what even is the criticism supposed to mean?

  • Hoarding resources will be banned. If you start doing it, we'll beat you up before you can get enough to hire a private army. Also, only the most corrupt people would go work as a private soldier, because everyone's needs are met so there's no poverty to drive people to do bad things. You'd have to promise private security a lot of money to betray their nation for basically no reason.

    Ah yes. That's why after the Bolshevik revolution, Stalin stepped in and dissolved the state.
