I got perms banned from a few communities for having two comments in r/ProLife. They got deleted so I don’t remember the context but it was definitely not supporting pro life politics.
This is why public modlogs on Lemmy are useful.

We will trees for lumber. This isn’t cynical at all.
I’m not interested in exploring 100% of content either, but I hate when games artificially block content off. For narrative reasons, I don’t care. I don’t mind the idea of mutually exclusive companions based on choices in game. But something as minor as gender at character creation? Come on now!
I think it’s fair to say the prime detective in Stargate would involve Stargates and not warp drives.
do you think Wicked has the longevity of other popular franchises? Is Wicked as big as Harry Potter was?
Do you think people view Victorious as a popular franchise today?
There’s a massive difference between suing and striking. Suing someone means you’re intending to take them to court. A copyright strike is different. I forget if copyright strike implies DMCA or content ID. DMCA possibly involves lawyers (honestly can’t remember) but it removes the content from the site and that’s it (you only go to court if you disagree and they push back). Content ID is an automated process that either removes sounds, portions of videos, or takes a portion of ad revenue.
If it were me, I’d do something like not really focus on what their actual “real” sexuality is unless it is somehow relevant to the plot. Then if it is so something like make them a 1 or a 5 on the Kinsey scale instead of a 0 or a 6.
I don’t think games should be required to do, I’m not trying to force some sort of universal bi/pan agenda. I’m just saying it personally annoys me when I am locked out of pursuing a character just because of the gender I happen to be playing as because I typically don’t play games multiple times. It also annoys me when games don’t allow you to pursue all characters. Like in BG3, as far as I know, all characters are bi/pan but not all are poly. The game forced me to pick between Astarion and Karlach, for example. I put 100 hours or so into the game before I quit. I’m not willing to put over 100 more hours into it just to see what would’ve been different. It’s just a waste of my time.
An alternative approach is only having “sex scene” type content gated behind gender, but everything else can still be seen by friends. E.g., anything a character would eventually tell a lover they still tell close friends. Which is still sort of annoying but not really as bad because you can easily just look up a sex scene, but experiencing things like dialogue and special quests in game isn’t comparable to looking it up on YouTube.
Being bad at chess doesn’t mean you aren’t smart.
You can do that while still not locking any content behind gender though.
No, I mean videos I’m watching. Let me pay the fraction of a cent myself.
Yeah, I’m usually only playing games once. I don’t want to be forced to replay just to see content like that.
I still think asexual characters should be “romanceable”. Like, there shouldn’t be increased-friendship related content behind gender.
Right, but I don’t trust them as a result and I don’t feel comfortable recommending them or not pointing it out. Meddling with links you click is malware behavior.
Literally just get Tor Browser. It’s just a browser like any other.
Natalie Cole’s version of this does this at the end.
Too difficult. Much easier to send someone out of orbit than into the sun.
The closest thing to DEI I can even begin to think of in Frost punk 1 was that you could manufacture prosthetics for amputees.
I’ve been considering reporting streetlights that don’t point straight down because they technically violate city codes.
