Apparently not wanting innocent people including children mass murdered, but also not supporting a terrorist group in the same country is just too nuanced of a view for them to comprehend.
Maybe y'all shouldn't have been screaming from the river to sea… so much. Pretty despicable.
I'm jewish and still saying "river to the sea", Israel was a colonial project of European powers. Israels government is vile and genocidal, and its aims are Palestinian genocide.
Except a lot of people voted for Trump because Harris/Biden was "nice" to Israel.
Some people voted for Trump because Biden wasn't able to use his influence (yet no actual power) to stop a war.
These people are really fricking stupid.
Yes, the thought behind it is very clearly "stop killing innocent Palestinians," but the ones who voted for Trump are fricking braindead. The left knows it, the right knows it, too - but those are the ones Fox news highlights.
most drama
This is the issue, too many ppl at the protests still call hamas freedom fighters and can't comprehend this point
Why did the freedom fighters commit genocide on October 7? Why do you still call them that after such an act?
Cos they're fighting against an oppressive regime that's trying to eradicate Palestine as a country and an ethnicity
I mean in the sense that any is too many you're right I guess. Some people will always miss the actual point and take get extreme about taking a side though. I would like people to actually cite a study though about how many pro palestine protestors actually support Hamas in any way. Unless we have solid data to give us a figure like 30% or something, it just sounds like a smear.
Because they are lmao
I support Hamas
Not in the internal Palestinian political struggle of course but against Israel? It's not even a question
Been rough, a lot of my fellow jews including some friends are still in the Israeli propaganda machine, but I have hope, many of us especially in the younger generations are finally waking up. I think we'll eventually get a formal split between Israeli and Diasporic Judaism
also much drama
But some do refer to hamas as freedom fighters, I've heard it and it's worrying how it's progressing. Ask a Jewish person and they will tell you they are starting to feel unsafe or in need of constantly saying "but I don't support Isreal" bc that is the assumption many have
If I saw my family get bombed by israel I would 100% join hamas and I don't blame anyone who does. I don't SUPPORT hamas, I don't LIKE Hamas, but I DO understand why they exist, and im not gonna pretend it's for no reason at all.
I like how that excuse is only used for one side. Israelis have seen their families get bombed and killed too, but you DO blame them for joining their military...
There's much much more similar drama to link
i'm not saying this is very reportmaxxxable post, but.....lol Chapotraphouse was banned for less

I know many of you here didn't liked the game and called it second coming of Hitler
But I agree with this comment:
(I know the anti woke don't want to admit it but they basically cancelled this game.
Like how woke people cancel stuff they did it to this game because it didn't fit their "view".
This game never had a chance from the get go.
To much checklist:
EA hate
To "woke"
Gameplay was to different
"Ugly" characters
Some characters not having enough "bust"
I can't judge the story because inhavent played it yet
Honestly if it wasn't labeled dragon age it might of done better.)

Yep, they want shareholders to believe that they reached 1.5 million sales, but their wording is intentionally misleading.
Will never stop surprising how r-slurred Redditors are, Dragon age sold similar to ff7 rebirth so the numbers did reach 1.5 millions
But main problem hating dragon age is this
For shareholders it doesn't make any sense now doing AAA single players games since most people just play call of duty and fifa and some mobile sloop.
Dead space remake was awesome but it also flopped so no dead space 2 remake.
Anytime I begin to talk to anyone about gaming here in the UK, they all mention they're g*mers. When I ask what they play, they all respond "Fifa and COD". If they're under 30 they also mention Fortnite. It's so rare for me to find anyone who plays anything outside of the aforementioned games in real life let alone someone who plays Final Fantasy.
Gaymers are r-slurs
It's like that meme where nerds playing a dungeon and dragon then a normie join, then normie invites a foid and then they kick out nerds and make new rules

Protests for all of these individual issues have been happening for years, with no policy change to speak of. Organizing under a more general anti-establishment, anti-capitalist, pro-worker sentiment can draw a larger crowd. These issues are not separate, all of them are interconnected, and each and every one of these issues is at jeopardy under the current administration. PSL, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, is trying to build a large working class coalition to work together and put pressure on our government to really get things done, as asking nicely clearly hasn't worked. Every member of the working class has gripes with our worsening economic and political conditions over the past few years (decades really), but addressing these issues separately hasn't and doesn't work, so connecting these gripes into one real, organized, educated fight is the only way forward.
Unsatisfied with your material conditions? Well, chudderino, better support all these unrelated nonsense causes because I'm an adjunct associate professor and I need to justify my existence somehow.

On November 29th, I learned that the streamer Destiny had non-consensually shared pornographic content of me online. My dignity, peace of mind, and hopes for the future, were stripped away in a mere matter of seconds following the betrayal of someone I previously trusted.
I am at least the third person he has done this to. I hope to be the last. I will not be commenting on the experience of the other women he has hurt, as it is not my place or story to tell. I will however share my story in the hopes of preventing this from occurring again.
I have been told that a court case like this could potentially cost over tens of thousands of dollars. I am terrified. I mean, this guy talks about potentially suing Hasan (as if for fun), and Hasan actually has the resources to defend himself. I cannot imagine what he might try to do to me in this process. Sometimes, I wonder if he does this as an intimidation tactic. I wonder if he is purposely trying to put fear into my heart when he casually talks about throwing money into a lawsuit with a multi-millionaire who can fight back. As if it's an indirect flaunt/warning over his capability of out spending me in whatever legal case I throw at him. At the request of my friends, I have been encouraged to link my give send go regarding this case here, in hopes that we can raise enough for me to legally succeed.

Subhuman 9strags don't understand shit about Safrica v - 41
- 90
Greetings dramatards 
I wanna post a parallel example about ragebait, to show how utterly stupid and malinfromed foreigners are about safrica 
[1st]
@haggis posted earlier about a 70 year old Boomer boer having gone haywire and shot a black kid over stealing a single fruit (he waz probably a repeat thief and the boer lost his mind), which put the usual rage into the shitlibs, micks, liberals, westoids, redditors, leftists and irish who comment the usual hatred towards SA whites, and that we should all deserve to be culled like the Haiti uprising and our land disowned and the usual tired trite about 1Dimensional evil opressors
[2]
Well on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, we have the uber chuds of 9strag, filled with ultra-nationalists racial supremacists (each for their own race 
lol) , and all equally misinformed.
https://9gag.com/gag/aLnjyNW#comment
basically this post, and reposted copycats of it, have been making the rounds over 9gag today, as repost bots plagiarized each other, to farm ragebait upmarseys. I tried to find the other copycats - they usually had title like "Look how Safrica fairs 30 years after the hwhite rule ended!" 
or something like "Looks like africans can only tear down what the Huwhite man build!" 
and so on.
And just like the fricking rage post from @haggis, all nuance and complexity of any situation is thrown down the drain into oblivion as emotion shrouds all cognition
Now often in South Africa, a lot of self destructive riots have taken place, similar to the yank Floyd riots which escalated from peaceful protests to outright mob riot induced pillaging of every nearby store. Moronic self destructive riots are common in SA, to the point where we even have a saying here in afrikaans, in that the agtergeblewenis is someone so incapable of thinking of consequences that they are the type of peeps who'll wait in line at the bus stop in the morning, waiting for the same busses he had burned down Yesterday 
Often south african protestors had even burned down schools in their rage, or like the Zuma Riots 3 years ago in Eastern Safrica, where an entire province was set aflame by rioters.
BUT 
This specific example is different
or reference, https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/protests-r33-road-kzn-service-delivery/
In all the otehr 9starg posts the racists won out, but only in this one was, the matter further clarified:
"This is an image from Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa. 4 years ago... This was a protest because of the lack of water and electricity. But they built a fancy new road to get to 4 houses up the hill"
https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/protests-r33-road-kzn-service-delivery/
I can't find the other copycat 9gag posts which heaved with racism and all the chuds downmarseying the explanation behind this action, so you guys will just have to take my word for it, but basically compared to the post I linked in which the most reasonable comments won ,out it was all a shitshow, which is probalby why they were deleted - even the usually lax 9strag moderators probably woke up.
But to further continue, so many many Safrican local municipalities are brokenshit corrupt, to the point where people literally don't have clean 
drinking water (if they even have functioning non-leaking pipes) or electricity. People often strike and protest to their local municipalities and beg them for their services, but are often ignored because the local politicians have no fear of being ousted or convicted of criminality
The specific road was literally leading to the wealthiest district of that local town, and their destroying the road was the equivalent of dumping trash in front of the frontyard of the mayor of a town refusing to fix your problem, by inconveniencing or actively hurting the politicians refusing to fricking do their jobs.
====
The resident, who was part of the protest which saw the road being dug up, justified the action.
"We have been promised [services] for years. New villages have been provided with water and electricity, but not us. Today the police came and shot at us. If it means we have to be shot to get basic services, so be it," the resident explained.
====
I myself and the firm i work for had to suffer the past year against Free State province municipalities choking the life out of small towns through Regulatory Capture, because the subhuman fricks there ,refuse to approve Rezonings, subdivisions or consolidations of properties and a whole slew of Town planning shit, which basically prohibits new businesses from forming, and they fricking cant buy or open new commercial locations! all because the stupid small minded fricks want bribes, as the economy dies around them
Then these slime drive around in black-tinted BMWs obviously not bought from their meagre bureaucrat salary, and peeps can see where they live in the nicest parts of town - which is what led to the peeps chopping up that part of the road leading to the upper class homes in which the municipal high staff worked - thus forcing the frickers to listen the community
in this instance i even had compassion towards these rioters. if @sneedman was up there with a pickaxe, I'd be joining him in my fricking frustration from this choking corruption.
so all these 9strag straggots who dont know shit and usually post about comparing civilizations don't know shit about SA. and just continue empire-of-dust posting which i believe is an entirely different matter and this just placated the bias of chuds 
just poltardia posting blablabla - it's actually miraculous that other safricans had jumped before me to demonstrate the actual happenings and clarify the complexity of the situation, and was topvoted in the comment section about this chud morons
Anyways !nonchuds to the same degree as these chuds are fools, so too to the same degree are shitlibs and libtards and leftoids and Micks misinformed and beyond capacity to understand safrica

OP's POOOOOST
Upfront, let's get one thing out of the way quickly. Yes, I am aware that Astro is referred to using masculine pronouns in official materials. Someone or something can be an icon to a group whether or not they're part of it. You're probably well aware that Judy Garland was an icon to gay men and you're also probably well aware that Judy Garland wasn't a gay man.
Now, if you were coming into this thread to tell me 'well actually on the press release it says…' or if the suggestion that Astro is non-binary made you feel any discomfort or annoyance, I want you to keep that reaction in mind as we explore further, because I think there's something important to unpick there.
There's a popular way of analyzing art broadly referred to as 'the artist is dead'. You're likely familiar with it, but incase you aren't I will briefly explain it. Art should be able to be appreciated by itself. As such we shouldn't need to know what the artist intended their art to convey. Pretend that the artist died before they could talk about the work, and approach it from that perspective.
It was the intent when making Alien, that eggs were made from captured victims. There was a scene in the script where Dallas is found half turned into an egg, so they were designed with this in mind. That scene was filmed. Now, it didn't make the final cut… and when a different creative team came in to make Aliens, they completely changed the life cycle of the aliens from what was intended by the people who made Alien and who designed the creatures. The alien queen wouldn't exist if the creators of Aliens hadn't approached Alien from a perspective that 'the artist is dead'. Personally I think culture would be worse off without the fight between the alien queen and Ripley in the power loader and…
Astro Bot. This is about Astro Bot. Sorry.
Lets put aside everything other than what we know about Astro from within the fiction. Put aside things outside the fiction like tutorials, menus, credits, product descriptions, press releases etc.
Ignore your instinctual revulsion that his fictional character, a robot, is referred to with masculine pronouns, and remember that that the best media criticism is that which completely ignores anything to come to the conclusion I like 
. So we'll begin with ignoring all the fictional references to the character and the non-fictional representations of the fictional character... A healthy place for grounded media analysis.
Astro. Astro is a robot. There's no reason to presume that Astro's people reproduce sexually. Certainly no reason to presume that you need a boy robot and a girl robot to do some electric love in order to make baby robots, and that all of those baby robots should be a boy one or a girl one.
When we look at Astro, there aren't any obvious human gender characteristics. While some of Astros friends dress in male or female costumes, (and we'll get to that!) their bodies are uniform.
See?
So what do we have in Astro's case. Well Astro has some blue highlights the other bots don't. Blue=boy! I mean, it doesn't obviously. You could argue that it suggests that, but doesn't it seem like a bit of a stretch? If you aren't looking for reasons to put a robot into a gender binary would you find that compelling?
Given how little evidence we have that Astro has any physical characteristics suggesting male or female, the next thing we generally reach for would be to see whether or not Astro has any expression of gender. And… well Astro wears a cape and its blue!. Blue=BOYx2 QED!.
Again… that's it. Astro's expressions of identity demonstrate aren't stereotypically male or female, instead showing compassion and bravery and joy at belonging to a community. And what a community!
Astro's friends seem about evenly split between those that express a sense of gender and those that (like Astro) don't. I'm not sure if one group is bigger than the other, but certainly the plurality of robots express androgyny when compared to the groups that express masculinity and the group that express femininity.
Astro treats everyone equally, of course. Whether the bots belong to either of the minorities that express a male or female identity, they are still accepted. The fiction doesn't give me anything to suggest if these identities are chosen, or pre programmed from the moment they come online. Personally I believe they're chosen. That the wigs and costume items (and any custom gear or programming) are built by the robots as they choose to express their truths.
Even if androgyny isn't the default out of the box configuration, it remains the most common one.
And so I default to seeing Astro and a good chunk of the other robots as non-binary.
I think it's telling that we as humans tend to default to male pronouns when presented with a robot or alien race that doesn't have a gender binary. The Sontarans in Doctor Who for example. They're a clone race. One single gender. There are countless other examples I'm sure you can bring to mind.
Even when presented with a culture of robots where a plurality (if not a majority… I'm not going to do the math) present androgynously and only minorities present as masculine or feminine, why do we default to thinking Astro is a boy?
If you're one of the people who felt compelled to come in here and point to the 'fact' that Astro is referred to with he/him pronouns outside of the fiction, or who find an endeavor such as writing an essay on the gender identity of a robot in a video game annoying or frustrating, I really want you to try to reflect on why that upsets you. There are no genitals to check. No pronouns to ask for. No DNA test you can do. No gametes to measure. Because Astro is a robot.
If someone non-binary looks at all that and concludes that Astro is a non-binary icon, since they have an androgynous expression in a culture clearly accepting of masculine, feminine and androgynous gender expressions, and that has some value to them, what in any of that is cause for discomfort?
You can insert a computer code pun here if you want, I won't get offended. And thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
That's a lot of words to suggest that s*x-less robots, literal non-humans somehow also have the this guy's uniquely human concept of gender and gender expression... because they just do okay. How do the ERA philosophers react?
OP replies with 
How does this make sense? Don't question it bigot
You didn't think about it because it's a game about being a cute robot thing and platforming and being a celebration of the Playstation Brand. Love how he calls it a fact at the end to validate the delusions

Don't get me wrong, my life has improved greatly from transitioning, but I'm still having trouble with the simplest of things. I have a great deal of mental issues, I used to talk them out, but nobody wants to hear that shit anymore.
jeez I feel so unloved. If I felt like nobody cared about me before transition, well darn well ain't nobody care about me now.
Neighbor forgot how easy life was in female mode
It's a lot of "help yourself and shut up, do your work now and you can't ever be upset, if you cry you're not a man and if you get angry you're a threat."
Even the most effeminate gays hate a whiny gollum like creature
The stress is so much to me, I get to points where I'm just waiting to hit something. I can barely cry due to testosterone
Shoot up your elementary school, Audrey Hale
As long as I am upset, I will not rest and I need to do something about it, I can't just talk about it so I have to workout, which is difficult as is because I have fatigue issues and am paranoid about things lurking in the darkness of my basement
I feel like I'm growing increasingly more paranoid, stress and fatigue are driving me mad, the fact that no one cares drives me more mad.
But it would help if people at least showed some sympathy for me, I get their caught up in their own issues, they don't have to hear the whole story or give me advice just at least say like "that sucks". Idk man
COMMENTS
You might get your hormone levels checked. If fatigue, paranoia, and the detachment is out of the ordinary, if could be low testosterone plus mental health issues and stress.
That's it. Time to increase your T even more 
It's true there's less social support for men than for women, but this sounds like there's something else going on. Hallucinating due to fatigue isn't a common experience for men.
OP: I did talk about the fatigue to my therapist, I've been going to the doctors to figure it out, they suspect it's due to low oxygen
