    1. Co-opting a hashtag that was used for trans solidarity:

    “Classic PC Games #WontBeErased on our watch. Yeah, how’s that for some use of hashtags.”

    1. Suggestive in-game ad:

    The female figure in one of those advertisements very clearly has a penis. The ad is for a soft drink called ChroManticore that tastes of “16 flavours you’d love to mix.” The copy encourages you to “mix it up,” an apparent reference to the trans model in the poster.

    1. Assume gender ‘joke’:

    “Did you just assume their gender,” the tweet said. The account was responding to a fan saying that they wanted more from the “guys” at Gamescom.

    To me these seem much tamer than sending nazi symbols via email tbh

    I think the gloves must’ve helped with the dino chomp, as well as his general macho attitude

    I’m at around 1990 nowadays and although he says he is fine, other characters (who well know his powers) keep commenting on how rough a shape he is in and how he seems to be dying from the injuries he takes from nonstop adventuring

    To me it seems like his healing factor can do a sprint to close a wound so he can finish a fight, but it can’t do the marathon of keeping him alive from constant injuries, unless given time to regenerate itself. And the regrowing flesh thing to me looks like the effort of running a marathon in the span of a sprint






  • Thank you, this was eye opening for me. For some reason in my philosophy classes Aristotle’s popularity was somewhat contextualized but Socrates and Plato’s views were taken at face value, as if their anti democratic views are different than today’s just because someone expressed them thousands of years ago.

    Also makes me wonder if the framing of Socrates as the “every man’s philosopher” in opposition to the establishment philosophers who only cared about philosophy for their job is similarly biased
