Arivia posted:and yet i'm betting rupaul the loving idiot horrible person would really not actually go for being called trans or nonbinary with all the poo poo he's tossed at trans women. gently caress that whole sphere, it's all transmisogyny bullshit. Rupaul sucks, for a multitude of reasons, but there's been plenty of non-binary and trans women contestants (including folks who discovered they fit those categories due to doing drag), so I don't feel drag itself is "Lol man in dress am I right?!" like it used to be. Apologies if I misunderstood what you meant by "the sphere", though. That being said, I kind of can't go back and watch anything prior to like, Season 5, because the amount of transphobic slurs being thrown around (by cis contestants) is just poo poo. Season 3 in particular. Read After Burning has a new favorite as of 22:39 on Feb 18, 2022 |

Weldon Pemberton posted:Argument is easily refuted by anyone who was alive and in queer spaces prior to 2014 so I hope the responses were all just "on the other hand, my personal memories of life before 2014". There was a big terminology shift with tumblr kids discovering their queer identities without much influence from previous generations, and people like to point to this as "tumblr invented gender." But, the concepts aren't new. Neopronouns aren't new. The way we talked about gender shifted with tumblr and it shifted with usenet and it shifted with 70s feminism discourse and it shifted mid century sexologist terminology and so on. This is basically the same idea as "You never heard about trans people before [present year - 7]." Queer people can't be a threat or societal decay if they have simply always been here and just have new ways to talk about and understand themselves.

I've encountered so much transmisogyny by gay cis men using drag as an excuse in queer spaces. Incredibly tired of it, the shows, every social event being run by drag queens, the whole thing. Yeah, there are gender-diverse contestants but the whole thing is so frequently weaponized against trans women like myself, I have zero tolerance for it.

I've encountered so much transmisogyny by gay cis men using drag as an excuse in queer spaces. Incredibly tired of it, the shows, every social event being run by drag queens, the whole thing. This is fair! I've heard the same from others and wasn't trying to discredit your "this makes me upset" reaction...just pointing out that thankfully the space has gotten more open to performers other than "Cis gay man dressing in drag for laughs". It's of course worse to trans women, but frankly, the whole drag scene can be kind of poo poo to cis women as well. Any woman (either participating on the show or just existing in queer spaces like gay bars) who isn't the stereotypical "stone butch" is automatically assumed to be a straight woman doing some "bachelorette party, oooh, gay safari" poo poo, even though she could be bi or a femme lesbian. When I go out with my partner (he's a dude) to queer events, I wear some  poo poo. And even then, I know people are gonna assume that I'm just "bi when it comes to threesomes" or whatever poo poo. I of course am privileged enough to be "invisible" and thus not marked as an obvious target for a hate crime, but at the same time, having your identity erased isn't a very nice privilege. Sure wish us LGBT+'s could all get along, but hell, in-fighting amongst the community was explored (kinda poorly) back on Tyra Banks's show in 2009. (Sorry if this came across as "WELL, IT'S lovely TO EVERYONE, SWEETIE, GET OVER IT." I'm just frustrated at how regressive some queer stuff still is, while other aspects have come a long way.)

Apologies if I misunderstood what you meant by "the sphere", though. I like that the newest season has a cis hetero white dude in it. Which sounds super counter-productive, but he's an absolute sweetheart and has been giving every ounce of space to queer queens he possibly can. It's a nice way to de-emphasize toxic hetero masculinity, although I definitely have seen people who feel the opposite and I can understand their discomfort to a degree. Still, gently caress RuPaul himself, but I'm happy to see Drag Race bringing in people that aren't strictly gay male queens that throw the T-word around like it's going out of style like you had already said.

RuPaul can chug a gallon of fracking runoff of course, but that was a genuinely good choice that could have gone extremely badly. Of course the credit there is more on the contestant himself not being a shitbag and the others treating him just like any other contestant, but still.

There is a good documentary called "Paris is Burning" that looks at the New York drag scene in the 80s that is very interesting that is worth a watch if Ru Paul's shows interest you but Ru Paul does not. It is also pretty sad, because of the AIDS epidemic.

Data Graham posted:Apple's DRM was no worse than the competition's when it comes to how much flexibility it offered. It launched with "you can burn a track to a CD 10 times" and "you can authorize 3 computers to play your purchased music" clauses; and over time they further negotiated with the labels to increase the number of authorizable computers to 5 at the expense of reducing the number of CD burns to 5 (I think). Then a year or two later when they had become the 800-lb gorilla a-la-carte music store, they were able to strongarm the labels into going DRM-free. Apple didn't want DRM free, they wanted everything to be fairplay because that locked you into the Apple eco system. The RIAA/artists started going DRM free when they realised that getting into bed with Apple meant they would be paying Apple forever.

The Asian-American identity was created by a guy who dimed on the Black Panthers. He wanted to create an "other" group that was just a grab bag of everything not covered by the BPP and Chavez. It was artificial from the start by design. Not that it hasn't grown into its own thing, but I could see abstracting it from history and reifying it as something real.

Boywhiz88 posted:OK, but as you mention those other games require consoles that Nintendo no longer produces. Why would they maintain that infrastructure for a user base that hasn’t moved on to the Switch? It’s no different than Sony shuttering the PS3 store or multiplayer servers. I assume Nintendo announced it ahead of time so people could grab what they need. The controversy is that Nintendo came out and said "thanks for your interest but we're not planning to let you play those games again" and actively pursues legal action against ROM sites as well as lobbying against safe harbours like the Internet Archive. https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1493762734546055169 https://twitter.com/GameHistoryOrg/status/1494398068346654720

Mierenneuker posted:I'm guessing it was this person: https://kotaku.com/tekken-esports-pro-gamer-japan-osaka-stream-red-bull-al-1848553238 so reading this I learned that 人権 (jinken), the Japanese word for human right, has some weird particular meaning in gaming "culture", and that's being used as a defense. weird, huh? i kind of have a feeling this is some intentional or semi-intentional dilution of the word. years ago i played a decent amount of Winning 11 soccer with coworkers in our office in Tokyo during our break, and a few folks threw "senpan" around jokingly to refer to athletes in the game that hosed up and caused the team to lose. i look it up and the word is 戦犯: war criminal. it's a common enough definition of the word to show up in dictionaries as the second entry. so yeah, weird poo poo.
