Like one of the four founders of the "LGB alliance" was Ann Sinnott, a straight woman.

I bet most of them aren't LGB because if they ever successfully get serious anti-trans legislation passed they will almost certainly start aiming at protecting straight people from predatory gays and lesbians. Like "Do you really feel safe having one of them teaching your children?" stuff.

Yeah, the Y chromosome is a shrimpy lil bitch and doesn't really do much except contain SRY (responsible for secreting anti-Muellerian hormone which causes the muellerian ducts to wither instead of the Wolffian) and bits and bobs relatin to sperms and such. It can also be transposed onto the X chromosomes resulting in typically-male phenotype with a typically-female karyotype.

Being the Joe Rogan of chromosomes, yeah, a YO zygote would just get flushed out. It'd get as close to being a fetus as Joe Rogan gets to the top shelf

As for a non-working X chromosome, that's pretty much XO. In practice—although the viability and other issues associated with XO karyotype suggest it is not complete—a process known as Lyonization deactivates one of those X chromosomes. It's an extra. Off the top of my head I'm not sure how this affects XXX individual. I'll put that one on the spike.

This poo poo is fuckin complex, yo.

Not familiar with the game in question, but makes me wonder if the sprite ever flips horizontally without modifications, or is there another sprite looking right with a left-rotating swastikamanji.

I have to imagine the sprite flips when facing the other way. It's probably good to take it out to be sensitive to concerns and I 100% agree that someone immediately jumping to "erm actually that's not a swastika, and it is erasure of the work of art that is Kid Dracula to make localization changes" is kinda sus.

That said immediately deciding it's a spooky clansmen and Japan is as immersed in American imagery as the American audience and couldn't possibly be referencing a cultural touch point closer to home is being the living embodiment of the "looney left," the alt-right pretends any criticism of the fash is.

ah yes the famous japan cultural touch stone dracula and his ghost child who had a manji tattoo'd on his ghost forehead how could i forget.

most japaneese rpg games of that time period were about european folk lore monsters. that ghost kid is 100% a klansmen put in the game as a gently caress you to the us.

It literally doesn't matter anyway because even if no one reacted that way they'd still pretend someone did. Look at all the fake, drummed up "outrages" that turned out to be nothing but alt-right weirdos getting mad at someone they dreamed up to be offended. Look at the Democrats fielding Biden over Bernie because Bernie would get called a socialist, only for Joe Biden to be drawn as Chairman loving Mao. Look at literally any exchange with these people. Reality doesn't matter, they're not going to soften up their narrative and see reason if the left is sufficiently restrained in their tone.
