And here I thought that I preferred to play as a female character because I have an easier time putting myself in the head of another woman! Turns out I was just virtue signaling. Oh well!

Is there a term for this, where someone trademarks a commonly-used word with a ton of prior art and then is shocked, shocked they say, when people get pissed off about it? If there's not I propose the Hon Effect (by analogy to the Streisand Effect).

It's called patent trolling. Technically, that lady only has the rights to the word "cocky" in a particular cursive font, but it's easier for a small-time publisher to let Hopkins have her way than to pay lawyers thousands of dollars to prove she's wrong.

There will always be people who see that others are doing/liking different things and label them negatively. gently caress those people. Be who you are and be proud of it!

Unless you're a furry. Then you can gently caress right off.

Tiresias2 posted:

This is an interesting remark because it sheds light on, at least what I'll call, the relativity of subjectivity. I think Nietzsche once said he could explain any philosopher's philosophy through their neuroses. Well, I have some very misogynistic thoughts some times but then I remind myself that I haven't had a friend that is a woman in a while, and that I usually have these thoughts when I'm alone, and that the information I have acquired in life is perhaps not only not sufficient for a generalization, but based on faulty premises about what is generally good and bad for an individual to do, and so it would hardly be justified of me to systematically create a world-view based on these thoughts.

The term is usually actor-observer bias.

You're showing some good self-awareness here, but sadly your condition is not the kind you can think your way out of. Are you talking to anyone professionally?

Edit: That was very self-centered of me, but I would like to think that you could be relatively dispassionate and objective too, and so could anyone else.

Maybe it's just the people I happen to know, but it feels like more people fall somewhere in the middle than are straight up one or the other. It's better than it was even 10 years ago.

Yeah, same here. Doesn't help that everyone's evaluation can easily tilt towards 'If you play a game with an animal protagonist you're a furry' or 'If you're not going out to conventions in a fursuit you're not a furry.'

Maybe they find you unbearably dull and tedious.

Maybe people want to play a woman because Women Exist and want to play as their own gender. There are a myriad reasons someone might want to play as not-a-dude, even if they are "I want to look at a girl's butt while I play instead of a dude's" or something equally as puerile.
