  • What about the gene splicing is inherently for "male" only? Because we're getting into that sexist ignorance territory pretty immediately.

    If you say "there has to be a Y chromosome, that is, outrageously silly and makes very little sense. But even if so, there are plenty of men who don't have a Y chromosome and plenty of women who don't.

    If you say they become a clone of the emperor's clones, it's pretty easy to have a cross sex clone. It's kind of how real life offspring take on genes from their parents and all kinds of outcomes occur, and offspring are still very much basically clones with minor mutations of their parents, with variations. Like if you said they were EXACT clones, like in Star wars, then sure. But they really aren't, to my limited knowledge.

    This just really feels like there not being enough representation in the same way in the 80s how "he" was the default pronoun for a subject. But a lot of people are like NUH UHH THAT MEANS THERE WERE ONLY WHITE MEN AND NO FEMALE AUTHORITY FIGURES which is insane. Like, imagine believing skin color in the vast universe meant anything. Or like throughout the countless planets and solar systems that only XY men of scandanavian descent that lived in similar UV and dietary and other stressor ecosystems were the strongest. Like, if anything, it would be people who settled and evolved in the harshest, and most competitive environments and ecosystems, not warm weather tall people who recently migrated to become pale and unhealthy but then became well fed.

    It's far more likely that to become a Space Marine, it's not limited to any specific demographic, and it's the best that whatever planet puts forth. And likely it's like some other variation of brown skin, post-human evolution, a la every earth-human demographic breeding together and then 40,000 years later looking nothing like us.

    Also, the battle sisters are about as token as an all black army. It's fucked up.

    It's honestly likely similar to the custodes and just... Burly massive people who probably don't even have any sort of genitals anymore because that doesn't matter. Like imagine 40,000 years of breeding humans with og-batman bane levels of steroids. Like it just doesn't matter anymore at that point.

  • Any group that idolizes something so much is definitely going to have sexual desires around it too.

  • Recently I've been considering learning about Warhammer 40k. I think the deep lore is cool and space marines are a neat concept. But apparently there's this big issue about whether or not women can serve as space marines.

    So I briefly looked into it and whether or not the issue is sexism based or lore based, and it seems to be somewhere in the middle, but definitely meta perpetuated by casual sexism. It feels very much like this comic.

    Also feels like seeing an interesting box, looking in excitedly, realizing what's inside and having my enthusiasm sucked out of the airlock, and just... Letting the box lid close and then walk away.

  • But I bet the actors that are great who don't watch the finished product DO love to act and the art of acting in general.

    Talent loving their art and having creative freedoms are NOT the same as management who love to please investors by following trends.

  • Except for the whole 100% console failure rate and hiding and lying about it to everyone TO THIS VERY DAY.

    And introducing and standardizing subscription online services in an otherwise previously free and good-will culture.

    And predatory, hostile payment behaviors and many other awful dark patterns.

    Microsoft joining gaming might be the singular worst thing to ever happen to gaming.

    To this day, they're destroying everything they touch, and in case you forgot, the AI boom that Microsoft is funding and pushing is the reason nobody can get hardware and is actively making other platforms worse and holding back steam hardware.

    Games for Windows live.

    Also, anything remotely good they've "done" has also been an acquisition and has ultimately rotted under them.

  • I've always held the opinion that Microsoft has no place in gaming.

    Like, at all. It just isn't their lane.

  • You know how sometimes if you put a superhero mask on and you feel goofier and/or more confident?

    Now imagine you're an awkward shy person and/or neurodivergent and you spent a lot of growing up being an absolute gremlin or pomp inside your mind but having to forcibly behave like everybody else or be ridiculed. Behaving, paying active close attention to others and their reactions and movements, and acting appropriately... This is called masking.

    Notice the similarities?

    Now, apply cartoon personified animal characteristics to yourself while literally wearing a suit/whole outfit. What characteristics, you ask? The ones that you enjoy, feel the best, and you feel fit you the best.

    That's oversimplified furries. They're party superheroes and it helps them be their chosen selves.

    (I am not a furry. This is my impression and current level of understanding from an entirely outside perspective. If I'm wrong, please feel more than free to correct me, I'd love to know.)

  • A lot of people who lead a lot need to not be in that dynamic. People are very often sexually the opposite of their daytime personalities.

  • Only rude if you think it's rude. Growing your own drugs is, in fact, smart and powerful.

  • TIL drinking, smoking, games, etc are all "social lubricants" for making conversations easier.
