Almost self-aware
CDPR: we added a beard option for the insecure whiners, but it unlocks dwarves hitting on you.
I really wish the people who say shit like this would realize how pathetic it makes them sound. I have never once felt my masculinity was being threatened because the player character in video game was female.
Agreed. In games with a gender option, I just pick the one with the better VA.
When given the option, I pick female/woman presenting. When given the option, I pick black or poc. When given the option, I give them a killer outfit so they can slay all day.
As a straight white Jewish man, I like to imagine that I’m the quintessential oppressed citizen ready to take everything down with all I have. Anytime I kill a bad guy, a good guy, some random bystander, whatever, I tell them to shut the fuck up cuz I’m taking this all down.
At least, that’s how I justify it to myself. Maybe I just like strong black women and killing literally everyone.
Uhh…
I think I recognize your username and I think I’ve seen some good takes from you and you’re not just pulling a bit… but that’s kinda weird, lol.
Is there like a therapist you can go to in order to unpack your privilege/oppression mix and work through stuff like this? Asking for me, actually. (I could probably get it billed under trans stuff in my case though, lol)
Fucking outrage tourists, man, this one is barely even trying
I’m the strongest woman in the world!
All I see is the strongest woman In the world. What are you trying to say?
Also nice beard sir, mind giving me your great knowledge on how to care for beards Jordan?
Edit: seriously why do I type stuff on my phone?
Step 1: Have your spine try to kill you in your sleep.
Step 2: Be unable to stand up long enough to shave for 3 months.
After that, the beard just kind of takes care of itself. :)
Edit I find it goes in stages:
- Normal beard.
- Amish farmer.
- Hasidism.
- Homeless dude.
- Rasputin.
Right around stage 3 I need to think about trimming it back. :) I did hit full Rasputin during covid, that was interesting.
Hypothetical but as yet unexplored stages:
- ZZ Top
- Gandalf
Yeah, that’s why I deleted my comment. It was supposed to show with a caption that said “I highly doubt that,” but the text didn’t appear. I was trying to make a tongue-in-cheek joke that @jordanlund@lemmy.world was pretending to be Chun Li—instead it looked like I was trying to dox him and bea giant asshole.
Anyway, it didn’t work technically; comedically; at best it was really confusing; and at worst it looked viscous, sexist, and many disgusting things that end in “phobic.” So, yeah… I deleted my horrible comment.
The end.
