So I met up with this off Grindr and fricked him.
mtf, stereotype, communist, neurodivergent, type shit
Dude was rambling about some nonsense, and I just nodded along, waiting to get it over with. About an hour in, we got down to business and I fricked his butt (with a condom, obviously).
Tbh I felt kind of disgusted, but you know, neighbors just gotta take what they can get
It is what it is.
To find the mystical true femboy (biological male that passes as female with the exception of the peepee)
But as it turns out, they don't really exist or at least, they're so incredibly rare they might as well not exist
It's like finding a cryptid, but at the same time, trying to find that true femboy is almost addictive...
It's like gambling, trying to hit the jackpot.
"Maybe the next one... maybe just a few more profiles..."

Florence Spurling is a moderately popular knitwear designer who made her Scout Shawl pattern in 2021. It uses different color work designs "patchworked" together to form a shawl.
Earlier this month a smaller designer named Susan Chin released her Quilt Star Scarf pattern. It has a similar shape and patchwork construction to Spurling's design.
This has lead people to accuse Chin of plagiarism, which Spurling addressed in an instagram post see above and below
(I can't link to the post because Spurling later deleted it)
The scarves obviously have some similarities, but they also have some differences. Here's a list of what's the same and what's different that someone else wrote, speaking of plagiarism :
Both objects use Intarsia and Fair Isle/Stranded colorwork.
Both patterns have multiple blocks in different motifs, joined together as the finished object is worked.
Both patterns have colorwork charts. (Scout > Shawl is in full color; Quilt Star is in greyscale)
The border is not indicated on either pattern's chart.
Suggested Gauge for the two patterns; Scout Shawl suggests 28sts x 30rows for 10cm, using 3.5mm needles. Quilt Star suggests 28sts x 27 rows for 10cm using 2.5mm or 3mm needles.
Finished size for Scout Shawl is 181cm, 37cm deep
Finished size for Quilt Star is 150cm, 35cm deep
Scout Shawl relies on 5 colors and makes suggestions as to the color contrast if you don't use the same palette as the pattern. Color 1 is the garter stitch border.
Quilt Star relies on 8 colors. No contrast is suggested, only the colors recommended in the original pattern. Color 8 is the 1x1 rib border.
At least one motif in Scout uses 3 colors.
Each motif in Quilt uses no more than 2 colors.
Cast on is 8 stitches for Scout.
Cast on is 4 stitches for Quilt.
All sections on Scout meet at 90 degree angles.
Some sections on Quilt meet at diagonals, at ~45deg ish.
Scout has 10 distinct blocks and patterns.
Quilt has 7 (?) distinct patterns. There seems to be an error in the charts. I'm not sure my count is correct based on the charts alone. But it is certainly fewer.
Increases on Scout are M1L, Decreases are k2tog
Increases on Quilt are kfb, decreases are k2tog.
Scout's finishing has no special bind off for the remaining 8 stitches.
Quilt uses a seamed bind off for the 6 remaining stitches.
Motifs for Scout appear to be floral.
Motifs for Quilt appear to be star-them
VERDICT: they're different patterns.
This didn't stop people from stirring shit, because obviously you need to have an MFA to be inspired by patchwork, and only one person is allowed to be inspired by a thing.
People (Spurling suck ups) went on social media to b-word, including leaving comments on the Ravelry page for Chin's scarf. (Ravelry is like letterboxd for knitting and crochet, and also a platform that many designers use to sell their patterns)
Source, but you need a Ravelry account to view
This lead to Chin taking the pattern down for sale. Satisfied with the results, Spurling deleted her post . And so ends another chapter in the ongoing saga of insecure designers accusing others of plagiarism.
A few I remember from the last year:
A designer put out merch with "Knit Club" on a baseball caps. Well some other pattern designer has a community by that unique name and also has baseball caps merch (but none that actually say "Knit Club"
"Only I'm allowed to be copy 1950s dresses!"
"omg why are you so obsessed with me, stop copying me" macrame. Except her product looks like something posted earlier by someone else on TikTok. (If they look similar it's because there's only so much shit you can make with macrame and there's probably patterns for something like this in a book from the 70s)
One French company accused another French company of copying their, um… tailor clappers, test squares and pointer cowtools (these are pretty common cowtools that have existed for a long time, this like Milwaukee accusing Makita of stealing their idea of the hammer)
I forgot to add that while I agree with most of the commenters on the craft snark thread, look at this b-word trying to turn it into a race thing

So recently there was a post that got removed from /r/RPG about how punching nazis is a great thing so you should buy my stuff and I'll give 5% of the money to a good cause. You know, the anti-capitalist way.
Well, that post got jannied; only the jannies were very keen for the sub to know that while they do it for free, they didn't do that for free - it was done by the admiggers who, unlike the jannies, get paid to mop. The jannies of /r/rpg then pinned the seethepost to the top of the sub to ensure everyone knows that they do it for free.
This then caused a bunch of extra virtue signalling nazi resisting to pop up, including:
Remaking the post under a "cleverly" reworded title
https://old.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/1idsqfk/physically_resist_a_specific_brand_of/
Someone just linking to the bundle and going "updoots to the left" in possibly the laziest poast
https://old.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/1idr5tw/bundle_of_holding/
A post linking to a "game" that isn't a game, just a political screed. Most egregiously, it lets you play as a jo*rnalist.
https://old.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/1idum5h/survive_the_tyrant_an_rpg_about_resisting/
And finally, another re-linking to the bundle but this time with even more seething about the admins
https://old.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/1idtaov/since_it_appears_that_reddits_admins_love_nazis/
One comment on that thread is promoting the game Eat the Reich which is... not good as notepad anon summarizes:
needless to say /r/rpg has put them at the top of the thread
and a bonus opportunity for ban evasion!
There's also this post that also promotes ETR in the most safe-edgy way I can think of

This was posted on rDrama a year ago but without annotation or marseys.
The reddit OP is [[[deleted]]] but his legacy lives on.
Pinned comment:
You can read the full context behind the 'You will never be a real woman' YWNBAW copypasta here
The link does not offer full context. It references its origin on a 4chan thread but doesn't even give the get.
Psychiatrists disagree with you.
Psychiatrists can say what they want, you will still, never be, a woman.
Why not?
Because You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs... [the full copypasta]
So what gives you more authority to make that judgement than psychiatrists?
So essentially, this is my reasoning:
You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. [full copypasta]
That's not reasoning. You just reposted the copypasta.
(Yeah no shit, that's what it's there for
)
Because for some reason you aren't getting the message.
His observation doesn't come from an appeal to authority, like yours and "psychiatrists" do. His observation is based off of reality.
I can say I feel like an Asian woman. I can say I feel like a foxen kin, and psychiatrists can agree that I AM one, all they want, but the fact remains I was born a white male. Nothing changes this. Surgery doesn't. Altering my hormones doesn't. Changing my posture and clothes doesn't.
Would you like me to pasta that copy for you, again? Or is 4 times good enough?
[gay shit about appeals to authority and meta discussion]
Heres the climax!
I'll ask you point blank then: You think a man is a woman the moment he believes himself to be one?
Yes, she is.
INTENSIFIES
[[[ Removed by Reddit ]]]
Except that the overwhelming scientific consensus on the subject is that gender identity exists separately from biological s*x, and that altering the latter to match the former is better, more healthy, and more feasible than the inverse.
As per my last two paragraphs [[[removed above]]], your comment qualifies as this conversation being ended.
If you're not willing to converse without me rejecting science in favor of supporting your bigotry, then yeah, we can't really continue from there.
Our brave little biological reality warrior then goes on to frick everything up by resorting to 2015 insults.
You're a bootlicker, incapable of thinking for yourself. Probably a cuck. Thanks for removing yourself from the gene pool
The battle continues, a year past the original post date. I won't copy it here, it's off in the weeds past the original point but here's the link many layers deep:
https://old.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/lyktos/ywnbaw/jco4w2w/?context=8
A couple of teasers if you want to delve into the ancient battlefield:
Imagine calling someone a "bootlicker" because they're more pro-freedom than you
Freedom to sin is terrible for the soul. Should be stopped immediately. Inshallah.
If I want to commit a sin that hurts me and me alone, then I see no reason why laws should exist to restrict that. It's my afterlife to afterlive.
There is no such sin that only affects the sinner.

Imagine whatever you think the "male" version of this behavior in the workplace is like - maybe some performative jocky behavior between men - then ask yourself if women feel welcomed or alienated working in that environment. https://t.co/3loqq4u7mz

Do you think if your boss posted a video of himself dancing at the office and chanting about his peepee this would dismissed as "guys having fun"? There is a lack of equal standards for workplace behavior for women.

This is actually pretty strange. Maybe he's just some turbo neet addicted to the janny life. I'm not sure how he'd be making money from this. But it's creepy how these jannies weasel their way into more and more control.
I saw him on the front page earlier here
Just a discussion thread, nbd. But I found a bunch of posts about him.
Sardines discussed him 2 weeks ago (removed of course)
That's a flagrant repost
But he mops hard on any post that calls him out.
