The comment that calls Veerender a "vile racist" is 100% some white guy that gets salty that he can't say the N word and complains about there not being "white history month".

Why do they feel the need to do this?

The answer to both problem is this; there are angry ghosts beyond this point. Do not go deeper unless you want to be haunted by a very mad ghost.

Basically it's a bunch of nerds that are pissed that people besides white men are playing video games and 100% of games are no longer being made directly for them. So every time a woman mentions that a game is kinda sexist they come out of the woodwork. And anytime a game marketed to, or made by women is successful it's because they are literally having sex with game reviewers to get favorable reviews and coverage.

I'm sorry to jump in a couple of days late, but I really have to post this.

I once found a familiar photo on a truther blog while searching for something completely unrelated and felt compelled to read the comments. I've always found conspiracy theories fascinating so I've heard a lot of out-there stuff, but nothing could have prepared me for the full immersion mindfuck of reading the comments and seeing people arguing passionately that the people in that picture, myself included, do not exist.

Yeah but on the other hand ethics in video game journalism and faaaaaart.

Though yeah there is definitely some similarity to Freepers. Talking a big game about revolution and taking back what's theirs and as soon as something happens going "no that's not one of ours, how dare you suggest that. False flag!"

I really don't believe that trans fighters should be allowed. That early testosterone boost gives an undeniable advantage.

No, it only makes you taller/broader-shouldered. Consensus is that castration and a few years of female hormones completely revert any advantages in muscle mass and bone density. In fact transwomen are actually at a disadvantage because they have zero testosterone (I wonder if they'll get to take supplements like male athletes with testicular cancer can). Of course their fuckability (the true measure of the female athlete) is still rock-bottom so the point is moot

Needless to say if you're a transman forget about professional sports forever because all your testosterone comes from a bottle and good luck proving you aren't taking "too much". But if you're a transman you don't really exist anyway except as a theoretical construct to be used as a strawman/counterargument (like I just did)

Wouldn't abnormal levels of testosterone come up in cheat testing? If its too high for the average genetic (better word?) male of their build, can't they just contact a doctor and lower the dosage until it's correct, which they should probably try and do anyway even if they don't have to get through anti cheat tests?

I thought gamegaters were also literally guilty of aiding and abetting international terrorism. Or at least of harboring an rear end in a top hat who was aiding and abetting international terrorism.

It doesn't matter because transmen are short and small so they can't play any sports that matter (baseball, football, basketball). However, they make good twinks for the same reason so it balances out.

You said trans men's (sometimes) smaller builds make them better twinks. And thus more fuckable by people who are into twinks. Stop being purposefully dense.

I just say they make better twinks not more fuckable. I do not think a person can be more able or less able to gently caress because of masculine or feminine feature. Only less or more able to gently caress if they have two penis (twice as able to gently caress) or maybe have disfigured genitals (less able to gently caress). This is how I understand fuckable (combination of gently caress (act of sex) and able). I hope this has cleared any confusion you have.
