What is up with the “mu escape from reality argument” these g*mers like to use?

I get wanting to escape from the hellhole we live in but why is it so disturbing for you to find transpeople in your games? Are you implying that their mere existence makes you uncomfortable? Is this just a massive self report?

Yes, in the same way “I wanted to escape to a fantasy world but WOMEN have JOBS here” is a self report

Me when the story telling organization’s imagination isn’t meticulously curated to be a clear prism that takes in ideas from the ether without interpreting them based on lived experience, understanding of the world, or any other interaction with reality

Except Tetris kind of for some reason.

If playing games to “escape the realities of the modern world” works this way, I want games to stop force feeding me boring white guys

The fact that he thinks trans people existing ruins his treats is somehow even worse than thinking that art is just treats and has no relation to real life (especially sci-fi, lmao, the genre that famously has nothing to say about our current society). The average Chud is just a big grown baby throwing a tantrum, really not all that different from the “soyboys” that they wouldn’t shut about a while ago
