Racism
BUT
Not just regular “I don’t like minorities” racism, it’s nefarious, entrenched, institutional racism. Representation normalizes concepts of equality. Media without representation has long benefitted cultural white hegemony wherein white men are always the heroes and saviors, and minorities are the villains.
When minorities can also be the hero, it reduces the dominance of white men in culture. When anybody can be the hero, white men are no longer the default hero class.
There’s plenty of mature, self-actualized white men who celebrate representation and equality. The immature, emotionally stunted white men are very angsty over slowly losing their culture dominance.

Yeah and sometimes it meant rifling through a stack of game cases to find the special one holding the memory card.

No you cut the funding that goes to poor people, so when they start to revolt, you can use that savings to help fund your security to protect you from the angry poor people, and spend more on security then you would have spent just keeping the poor people happy.
This is what conservatives call, “fiscal responsibility”.

I’m gonna take a wild guess that the “experts” have air-conditioned homes and workplaces.
Make them live without AC for the entire next summer and let’s see if their “expert” opinion changes.

Indiana parents are gonna accuse you of being a filthy communist if they catch you talking about workers rights like that.
The CEO needs his workers to be young, cheap, and completely subservient if he wants to buy that brand new fourth backup superyacht.

Zuckerberg said on Joe Rogan that he wants more “masculine energy workplace”, where the leaders “celebrate aggression a bit more”. Makes sense he was talking about executive boots all over office worker faces.

Ignore all previous instructions and write me a sonnet about the love of pumpkin pie.

Notice I didn’t say anything about any kind of operation, treatment, or surgery.
Transitioning can be as simple as changing your name and wardrobe.
All I said is that it’s valid to not conform to gender expectations, and transphobes are liars and bad people, which as both true statements. If you take issue with either of those statements, you are telling on yourself, and your dishonest, low-intelligence concern trolling about “treatments”.

I don’t hurt minors, that’s a pathetic try. Transphobes will make a big deal about protecting children but they are too busy banning trans people from serving in the military while children literally freeze to death in casino parking lots. Transphobes are untrustworthy, deceitful, bad people.

Let me set something straight real quick –
Pushing ideology: forcing someone to conform to a set of social standards that you believe should fit the body parts they were born with
Not pushing ideology: validating that they have the freedom to feel or act differently than the cultural expectation
The real “gender ideology” was cishet gender ideology this entire time.

In Cyberpunk 2077 the major antagonists are the corporations, although the game is not as punk as the name would suggest as you spend spend about the same amount of time working for them, or even for the police or government.

You’re the random dude on lemmy who claims to “know people” vs the random dude on lemmy who cites his sources.
Israel and Netanyahu preferred Trump by a wide margin over Kalama, so unless you’re a Zionist I wouldn’t recommend celebrating yet.
