Damned if you do, damned if you don't, AKA screwed coming and going.So failing to mention trans people is "erasing them" but now going out of your way to include trans people is also bad. Apparently, we perpetually exist in a state where we both distinguish them and not distinguish them or be labelled transphobic (I'd say "transmisogynistic," but doesn't that exclude trans men?).
@profaned_dork, not even bismuth has that many edges . jpg ;O; I tip my fedora as my unshaved chins wobble in mirth, my good sir.

I never knew I was Schrodinger's Bigot.
I obviously realize that no one is actually saying that PC gamers are the preferred people of Hitler. That’s absurd, and it’s supposed to be absurd. It’s a joke. It just isn’t a joke worth keeping around at the expense of making people uncomfortable about the hobby we're supposed to be promoting—and, selfishly, I’d rather not look like a tasteless jackass. I’d be mortified if my friends and family thought I were part of something called the “PC Master Race.”
This isn’t a plea for political correctness—not associating oneself with Nazi pastiches is just good living. It’s fun to treat our hobby like a club and build camaraderie, but I don’t think a reference to white supremacy is going to encourage club membership.
I observed something and I'm going to shoehorn false claims about what I observed doing something that offends me when really I'm just looking for shit to complain about to get attention and to make something about me.

which is even mnore ironic considering Katniss's character devolves into an atypical female with dependency issues and PTSD, ESPECIALLY when you see her portrayal in the movies.
But no shes female and has a bow, so obviously shes strong and don't need to man... besides peeta... and that other guy... and... yea...
What if I'm triggered by shrubbery?What if I am triggered by silence? Also what if I am triggered by diplomatic phrasing?
Why is it that this thread always devolves into cloaked discussion of all our various fetishes?What if I'm triggered by shrubbery?
