@HikiPTG This genre of post makes a lot more sense when you understand it's older women who wrote the literature and the younger ones are recycling it without critical analysis.
@Q2Quokka The people least affected by immigration restriction policy are all inner-city working adults, and they mostly don't vote ON. They'd have to pick, purity or money. Historically they pick money. If they pick purity, rural depopulation would accelerate, nothing but agribusiness.
@Q2Quokka No she isn't.
Like every right populist, she'll talk about remigration, immigration policy. Then, figure out that the world is very different today from early-mid 20th c., and her rural base will commit economic suicide if their access to migrant labour goes.
@KinaMagica I followed recently because you were winding up terrible people & that was funny, also the birth saga got me good, real good. Absolutely fried me.
@MyNameIsWepeeI We tend to consider respecting someone's identity as "normal", but this is one of many things animals do not comprehend. So humans easily project this onto the animal, but you cannot misgender an animal because it doesn't possess gender as we do.
@MyNameIsWepeeI Do you mean why people care about the sex of their pets (usually anthropomorphism, breeding, or vet business), or why people get the sex of animals wrong (usually due to internal gonads and subtle sexual dimorphism). Them colliding humorously is an old comic standby.

@Zickermackfsu@commie_trucker Guy who believes it's awfully difficult to be a trucker and also millions of unqualified migrant truckers are on the road.
@finneas777 Hah, I sympathise, the first and only time I tried it, I ended up with three days alternating between terrifying nightmares, hiding under blankets while I imagined yelling and banging on the door, and randomly jumping out of bed certain I'd forgot something and confused wandering
@radim_chicha both niche (if you know it, you're well into weeb culture) but extremely accessible within its niche & has like twenty years of people creating a lot of content for it. Guy who likes any one ship probably has a lot to draw on, obvious exception any 2hu recently introduced.
@radim_chicha I've seen a couple people come into 2hu spaces with a sort of defensive mentality around their ships and learn that Touhou just isn't like that. Our antis and pros are much calmer. Maybe it's because 2hu historically skewed so older. Less teen behaviour.
On that point, Touhou is
@summoningsalt@willearle Recognising structural incentives towards behaviour which inflicts negative externalities on the entire content creation ecosystem is not an argument in favour of them. Rather the opposite; something is wrong if these incentives exist.
