@Vormaerin@SplendidSpeseia@inkblotPrincess also read my other comments i disagree with this person but its still not an idea I would call ridiculous or insult them for having bcs there’s definitely a bit of merit to it
@Vormaerin@SplendidSpeseia@inkblotPrincess I’m not saying Mike is a racist person, or even that the depiction is definitively racist in intent. But the downstream effects of European racism against haiti could have had an impact on the way the gang is portrayed.
@Pedro_bala083@SplendidSpeseia@inkblotPrincess this is a completely reasonable take. the voodoo boys are the only gang that u work with and that betray u, which inevitably is going to cause more ill will vs js an evil gang u find on the street, and that was a deliberate choice, and its possible for there to be intent there
@SplendidSpeseia@inkblotPrincess like besides the moxes, if this wasn't a game, you would have eradicated all of the gangs in night city. V kills thousands throughout the game & it feels like bad faith to say the game portraying the vdbs (also one of the most evil gangs) in the same light as the others is racist
@SplendidSpeseia@inkblotPrincess plus like a step below a core mission where the goal is "kill xyz gang members" like there are for the ones already mentioned, 2077 has tons of gigs where u js massacre an outpost of maelstrom, valentinos, animals, 6th street boys, etc. except for aldecados & moxes u kil them all
@mirijoie@NoahRevoy@L0v30n1nt3rn3t Uh both of them have lied a shit ton about intending to kill xyz valid targets and then deliberately targeted civilians, and they both were/are ethnostates that r only propped up by western countries as vassal states for their interests, so yeah they r basically the same
@butchbaiter the artist showing the chest is what makes the drawing seem to be a trans man, imo it sort of implies that their chest is unimportant or nsfw in a way that a cis women’s chest is generally perceived. idk if that makes sense but that’s what stands out to me.
@delicance3363@grabonmyhandle@durgaddiction i lowkey don’t care abt responding anymore so can u js answer like 1 question rq? Do u rllly believe that a man took estrogen pills for 20 years js to win a women’s gold medal in weightlifting, knowing that even if he did he would be hated and his win would be discredited?
@delicance3363@durgaddiction I didn’t say that. They knew about some biological differences, they didn’t know about the ones that matter for sports, because they would have had no way of knowing. Women’s biology has always been under researched how hard is it to understand it was the same back in the 40s?
@delicance3363@grabonmyhandle@durgaddiction She didn’t want to when she was 20 because she had other shit going on that preventing her from going and competing at that age, which is mentioned in her wikipedia page.
@delicance3363 Well some societies knew that before title ix, but bcs of victorian era social values women were basically all but prohibited from actually doing strenuous exercise, yk the type that builds muscle, so they didn’t know the real reasons behind men and women having different bodies
@delicance3363@durgaddiction population of women that ISNT ALLOWED TO WORK OUT which was the case for women before women’s sports. they were basing the distinction purely on not wanting women in men’s spaces and sexism
@delicance3363@durgaddiction Why r u being such an asshole js be civil for like 2 minutes omg. Men and women look different, but a lot of the differences that you can physically see have minimal impact on sports. The ones that do, like bone density, muscle strength/ ability to gain it, can’t be seen on a
@delicance3363@grabonmyhandle@durgaddiction he stopped training at 2023, and there’s no indication he actually wanted to make it to the olympics or aimed for that in his 20s. Like you said, life gets in the way
@delicance3363@durgaddiction she broke records before transitioning what r u talking abt?? this is all on her wikipedia page wtf is this bad faith shit
@delicance3363@durgaddiction also i was talking about the ORIGIN of separate sports. Ppl did not know abt real biological differences when sports were separated, their belief was that being physically active would cause women to be infertile bcs they were fragile. U brought up modern sports
@delicance3363@durgaddiction do u like get off to being weaker then men? wtf is this “our bodies cannot match up in the same way” like yes they can? Bare minimum women more muscle mass in their lower legs and are stronger there, and with long term training u absolutely be stronger than js a random guy
@delicance3363@grabonmyhandle@durgaddiction She literally trained? Like what do you want me to say? You realize that it’s possible for non-trans women to do what she did right? Her being trans is an unrelated fact. plus there’s tons of non-exceptional trans athletes, by ur logic they should all by olympian’s but their not
