Honestly, just do whatever you can do that let you sleep well at night. It’s all most people can do. Maybe we can’t stop these things, but eventually we all die, even those in power. What we can do is not being part of the problem and teach those who come after the same in hopes that in the future (if there’s one) there will be more good people than bad.

Just keep your conscience clean in hope that the next generation get inspired by that.

The Venn diagram is unsurprisingly close

Some people think that if an individual from a collective laugh then it’s fair game. If a trans person laugh or says the same “joke” then its okay despite being offensive to everyone else, since they have that one endorsement then it’s fair and everyone else is just being “too sensitive”.

And it happens every time.

That is a pretty nice approach tbh. Didn’t thought on just sucking the “fun” out of it.

I think you’re right. I couldn’t express it well but the normalization and how “casual” those comments and “jokes” are thrown is disheartening.

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind <3

I love that joke since the Venn Diagram between Furry->Software Dev/IT<-Trans is pretty interesting, but that is a fun observation, we all laugh.

When the “joke” is repeating, for example, “Oh no Furry, what are you doing with my dog!?!” it stop being a joke and it becomes just target harassment, I think.

Most of the time no. That’s why it feels more like an insult than a joke.

I’m more worry that it won’t make me feel good about and at home in my body. It would mean to lose the last hope.

Besides that, don’t you have to be for a considerable amount of time on HRT for it to be irreversible? I have no idea tbh

I can’t stop thinking about it. Is the Adam’s apple and the leg hair really that important that it has to be drawn?

JKR has done more damage than the obvious. “My allyship ends when it becomes mildly inconvenient for me.”

Thank you, I appreciate it <3

Lived for like 18 years thinking it was just a “fetish” and it will eventually stop. Meanwhile I was increasingly depressed of the fact that I wasn’t born a girl but also “surely is an obsession I can’t control” to the point that in retrospective doesn’t make a lot of sense. Let’s say trans people aren’t well perceived here (or represented) so, internalized transphobia did it’s part too. Was due an MLP Fanfic that I had to confront myself and it took me like another two or three years of internal conflict to accept that, in fact, if my three genie wished are “being born a girl” and the button press between “a billion” and “being a girl” were always the same and indeed it was not a very cis thing think, then I might be trans.

Now I’m utterly afraid of the process of HRT, its outcome (not passing) and the immediate social, physical and mental danger it poses nowadays.

But at least I know the root of all my anxiety, depression, and what later on learnt was called “dysphoria”.

Don’t we all?

Wait, what do you mean no…

Have you seen Borderlands 4? They went full “use frame gen if you want 60fps”.

Devs might not want it, but CEOs sees they can cut corners and brag on using the new shiny toys and despite Dev’s warnings they will use it.

I don’t usually post anywhere. I was on egg_irl then egg on Lemmy then here, and I just want to thank you and all the people who make all of these possible. These are the few safe places I know where I can come back when everything goes down.

Thank you all. And specially you suspiciously not Jessica.

If one AI could clean other AI mistakes, shouldn’t the first said be able to not make such mistakes?

AI isn’t AI. It’s predictive text. They will all fall in the same pitfalls as any other. “AI” can write code and can be very helpful making short functions, but it can’t and will never be able to do or work in whole systems because, just by nature, those are made to fit human needs, illogical and sometimes very specific needs that can’t be just “predicted”.
