In an incredible display of just kind of saying stuff, 52-year-old liberal Isaac Shawn has announced that focusing on “trans issues” alienates the working class from the Democratic party, though he does not personally know a trans person, a working-class person, or anyone at the intersection of thes

    That’s not what is happening. It seems more like trans people are screaming constantly that we are trying to kill them and other insane shit.

    Shit I got banned from steams Halls of Torment forums by a trans for saying I did not want identity politics in the games I play.

    It’s not the alt right that is the problem here. It’s people being unable to relax the fuck out and just live life without making their sexuality an explicit part of everyone else’s awareness.

        “I don’t want to see this aspect of life that doesn’t affect me at all in this video game”

        Gets banned

        “How could the trans people do this and oppress people”

      Wow you went mask off real quick there.

      Few things to point out in case you didn’t know them:

      1. Gender has literally nothing to do with sexuality
      2. Trans people are literally being killed. Thinking they are annoying for discussing that in public says a lot about what your priorities are.
      3. All art is political and games are art.
      4. I feel like every time recently people have complained about trans stuff in games it’s because the dev added an option to select your pronouns… In which case, it literally does not affect you as soon as you finish character creation.

      You seem to agree with the alt right, so OFC YOU would say they aren’t the problem…

      Fucking pathetic bigot, your feelings are hurt by people you’ve never even met. Thin-skinned weirdos, all of you.

      You cannot even relax enough to PLAY A GAME, but nooo it’s us who have to learn to relax… You are truly pathetic.

      What exactly do you mean with identity politics in the game? Why do you even bring it up on the forums? Is the game letting you select pronouns? Do you pick a body instead of “sex” in the character selection screen? Are you forced to undergo gender reassignment surgery upon logging into the game?

      Also, gender does not mean sexuality. They are 2 separate things.

      I am not trans. I am not LGBT. I’m an ally but i have never had any issues with LGBT people. Never ever have i felt like anything is “shoved down my throat”, forced or whatever on me. Never have they ever even had a big conversation about it with me. The ONLY thing we talked about was when i meet someone and they tell me their pronouns. He, she, they or whatever else they want. Then i respond with “okay cool” and thats the end of it.

      I really don’t understand why you feel like its the only thing we talk about? The right brings it up 24/7 and when they see anyone even with a pride flag in their profile, or maybe their pronouns, they have an absolute baby meltdown.

      The issue is you mate. Even how you say “banned by a trans”. Who talks like that? You seem uncomfortable with it and therefore annoyed and upset. Chill and stop worrying so damn much about others…
