@jeditalis you do seem to be arguing in good faith though at least, so props to that. I think you just overestimate the number of others who do the same, the "homophobic women who hijack the conversation" are a sizeable chunk if not the majority, most of the bios I've checked were terfs

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@jeditalis kind of a motte-and-bailey here too btw, saying "why is it so outlandish to say gay men can be misogynistic" is not the same as saying "gay men can be misogynistic"

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@jeditalis again, what examples of this can you provide?

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@Broganderss the reason I don't talk about it is that it's not true

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@jeditalis The framing of "gay men are men SO they can be misogynistic" is also pretty bad, gay men are PEOPLE so they can be misogynistic. Straight women on avg are more likely to support misogynistic policies than gay men, so clearly manhood and misogyny aren't a 1:1 correlation.

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@jeditalis here are some of the most liked replies/qrts of the tweet that caused this current iteration of the discourse. I've only seen "gay men can be misogynistic" used as a motte-and-bailey, pretending that's all they said when they also said other, untrue things.

@sun_kill3r you're not forced to raid, you can get equivalent/better gear by waiting for next season

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@sovereignpurge earthly star is counted as pet damage, move AST up a tier

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@mexican_sunbro I don't think most raiders care about relics being bis? I certainly don't, they only become bis at the very end of the expansion, at that point it doesnt matter much

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@grapefruitism @1coldstar infinitesimal means infinitely tiny, I think you mean infinitely

@PoggersPatrol the best part imo is that you can help reclear parties after you already got yours, you're no longer griefing their coffers

@yuyuy193 @Supatease and if you're not the fastest player ever then AH will be flooded w cheap wands so even easier

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@yuyuy193 @Supatease it is 1 simple wood and 1 lesser magic essence, former is a few copper from vendor, latter you disenchant some brown robes for (or bs weapons if you want to be even faster), its very easy to self craft without having to go very far out of your way

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@MokTJJJ @sibaburck I personally do feel empathy towards animals so it would hold up for me, but even for a person who does not, I don't think it would be moral for them to kill animals, so I don't think empathy is good as a sole basis of moral consideration.

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@MokTJJJ @sibaburck I mean thats exactly my point, empathy is an emotion you feel towards something, so if people arbitrarily feel it towards humans and not non-humans, then basing their morality solely on said emotion will lead to animals not being considered.

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@fsjalredux they probably don't mean the 10 year old one

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@AsmoLizzer yeah I don't think it's a matter of time, they just don't have many things they want to tell us and so they pad the runtime

[Penguinvader @Penguinvader99]

@nekob0icarti but you are using it as a slur. reclaiming is when you use it in a non-malicious way, black people don't say "you're an n word" to people as an insult either
