not counting the main monologue from I have no mouth and I must scream, also that one paradox forums guy about how how sunset invasion took away his ability to feel human.

Context: Sunset Invasion is a "what if" scenario where the aztecs develop transatlantic boats first, and invade Europe during the times of Crusader Kings, before Europeans have guns and whatnot. Somewhat similar to the mongol invasion, but from west to east instead of east to west.

October 31st, 2012 is a day I will always remember. It was the day I became cynical, bitter, and distraught. You may call it an overreaction for me to feel this way simply because of the business practices of a single video game company, but let me explain what all of this means to me.

My life was thrown off balance and I never regained my footing after that day, because I lost my ability to respect. An essential part of being human is to feel respect for those who may or may not be deserving of it. But it is equally human to feel painful disillusionment when someone or something you respected turns out to be much less than you thought. But the level of betrayal I felt when Paradox announced their new DLC tore something from me that I'll never be able to recover. They tore away my ability to respect anything, and they tore away my ability to feel human.

Paradox Interactive was a company I respected, and their employees were people I looked up to. Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Victoria, and Hearts of Iron were all quality game series that combined historical accuracy with sandbox game worlds. These games may have been cartoony and humorous at times, but deep down they were always realistic and crafted with a level of detail and skill that won appreciation from gamers all across the internet. CK2 was their newest release, and the internet was in unanimous agreement that it was of unparallelled quality. Following it's long awaited release, Paradox began releasing quality DLC that raised the bar ever higher for Grand Strategy Games.

Then Sunset Invasion was announced. This was not just an announcement of DLC, it was announcement of Paradox Interactive's suicide. It was an expansion intended to completely disregard any historical accuracy, and instead shock the entire world with its lunacy. Paradox Interactive had gone off the deep end and raised the middle finger to everybody who stayed loyal to them. They had announced that they didn't care anymore, that they didn't care for their community, and they were going to go out of their way to sabotage everything they had spent years creating.

The pain I felt from this betrayal has destroyed me on an emotional level, and has deprived me of my primary source of entertainment. No longer can I play Grand Strategy games without remembering the day I ceased mattering to people I devoted myself to. Paradox had not just destroyed me or their company, they had destroyed the one force of stability in the world: Trust.

funniest thing about that whole post was that in the game, you had to be a turbo satanist viking to set off the event chain where your character sets off to conquer the new world and then return 250 years later as an immortal jojo villain

point being, it was still catering to the whole nazi satanist ûbermensch conqueror mythos when it came out

quote:

These feminist concerns, however, might be mitigated if men could also participate in WBGD. The prospect of male pregnancy is not, as many would imagine, fanciful, or a piece of science fiction. In 1999, Robert Winston told reporters that there were no intrinsic medical problems with initiating a male pregnancy: the danger would be in the delivery. We already know that pregnancies can come to term outside the uterus [31]. The liver is a promising implantation site, because of its excellent blood supply. However, as Winston noted, this could be risky – even fatal - for the person carrying the pregnancy. But for brain-dead donors, the concept ‘fatal’ is meaningless: the gestator is already dead. Thus, even if the liver is damaged beyond repair after the gestation, this would not pose a problem except insofar as it might mean that male gestators could carry only one pregnancy, rather than many consecutive ones.

The prospect of the male gestator could thus appease some feminists who might otherwise feel that brain-dead gestation is a step too far in the objectification of women’s reproductive functions.

i think this lady is just doing a medical Modest Proposal.

I did some digging on her; in a paper she wrote examining the case of a trans girl (age 16) who donated her sperm, died, but deeply wanted to have kids she argued that because she wasn't an ~adult human feeeeemale~ and was a male the state would not have supported her desire to have a kid and cites a TERF paper. (https://philpapers.org/rec/RSNTCC, citation is 22)

Given the well know effects of TERFbrain, I'm pretty sure this is the case but haven't been able to find a copy of the paper itself to check.

Yeah that's how this'll be abused, especially for prisoners. Also oopsie doodles look like this batch of tear gas used to quell water protests just damaged a bunch of otherwise healthy adult brains but if they didn't want to be axolotl tanks they wouldn't have protested!

if there's a demand for "person that is not legally considered human and can be treated as an inanimate object" then some enterprising capitalist will find an especially ghoulish way to supply it
