Incidentally, one of the more recent updates for Warframe allowed you to seek employment from Roko’s Basilisk as a torturer in its simulated hell, because that game gets the appeal of freaky technosorcerous transhumanism.

Like that one where military hardware is anthropomorphized as schoolgirls. No the other one. No not that one either, that one.
So not Strike Witches?

The saddest thing is there are actually decent transhumanist communities. Some of them have been doing theory since the sixties. Some were part of the trends that became cybernetic socialism, others were outgrowths of socialist-feminism, others were the works of singular trans people with​ a utopian vision of not feeling like poo poo all the time. It's just that none of them, not a single one, is based on some piece of poo poo fanfic author's rewrite of Science.

A bit like the women in the New Atheist movement who worked​for decades on social and academic projects only to get mugged by a bunch of has-been lecture circuit grifters.
I'm part of a few transhumanist communities and I have to rein in others who, while not intending to be malicious, get into "what if someone wants ..." and is completely ignorant of transgender issues. Dude, you implanted chips in your hands, you're not qualified to speak about gender dysphoria because of it.
