  • Ask yourself the question why people “become” tall, small, blonde, blue eyed, have a certain ethnicity, …

    They dont become! They are! (I am mostly gonna use gay as an example but the same applies to all lgbtq+ people in the same way)

    The reason it seems like people “become” gay is because sexuality is something that develops during puberty. The same way tall people don’t get born tall, but grow to be tall. However they never choose to or worked towards being tall.

    If you ever heard something like “XYZ is turning the kids gay!”, its a lie. Differently to being tall, sexuality is something internal, something you feel. And many people are being told that what they feel is wrong. So they believe it is wrong and surpress what they feel. This leads to misserabke lives, depression and often violent/abusive relationships because they are internaky unhappy. If you tell them it is okay to feel what they feel, they are more likely to accept who they are.

    So telling people that it is okay to be lgbtq+ leads to more people being openly lgbtq+. They always were. They didn’t “turn gay”. They just didn’t lie to themselves and surpress it.








  • “Evolutionary reason” does not necessarily mean that a feature is an advantage. Mutations are random and then positive or negative selective pressure act on them untill the mutation is either extinct or is adopted by the whole population. For features without selective pressure the same thing still happens it just takes longer and is basically random. So different populations of a species will always develop different features even when given the same environment.

    So for most of the features you listed: yeah it just happened.


  • You didn’t read the article did you? Its not about the inclusion of a character, but about how a specific scene with that character is handled. The author claims it is completely jarring, doesn’t fit into the games setting and doesn’t even use the games existing lore for transgender people but instead uses modern terminology.

    I found the article to very informative and not at all “gamergatey”.

    Its points are:

    • this is the scene
    • it is bad
    • here is exelent trans representation in a fantasy setting
    • “its a BioWare self insert”
    • this is how they could have handled it better
    • the game is great, but now everybody will just talk about woke, so again the game is good

    Und der Patient der Symptome 10 Jahre mit globuli bekämpft und dann an einer vorbeugbaren Krankheit stirbt? Klar kein (gescheider) Arzt behandelt akut gefährliche Krankheiten mit globuli aber wenn durch Verzicht auf funktionierende Medizin später ein schlimmeres Krankheitsbild auftritt, liegt dies auch in der Verantwortung des Arztes.


  • The post office knows who you are sending letters to. They have to know because they have to deliver it. They do not know the content of the letter. They also dont know if the letter will be passed along by the receiver to a different destination.

    Your ISP knows you are sending traffic to a VPN but not where they are sending it to. The VPN knows where you are sending traffic to but not the content of that traffic. So if you browse a website that only serves pirated content, then they knows you are consuming pirated media but not which media.

    If the law requires the VPN to report any and all traffic to blacklisted sights then a “no logs policy” would breach that law.

    However to make this law work, Italy would have to ban all VPNs and http proxy services outside of Italy. Italy would have to force pretty mutch the whole world to follow this law for it to work.

    What happens if you run a tiny server on AWS in the USA to proxy your private traffic. Unless AWS USA is watching all traffic to see if it complies with Italian law there is no way to enforce it.
