Fyraltari's Fiercely Friendly Random Banter Thread #226

[LaZodiac]

Oh no, obviously you wouldn't send death threats to anybody, I know that, I was just trying to throw out a reminder that sometimes discussion about Contra does tend to get a bit... uncivil. Like the people who did actually send Lindsey Ellis death threats, although again, I know you wouldn't do that. I apologize for failing to communicate that sentiment properly, and dropping the topic does strike me as a good suggestion.

Although I am actually curious, do you have any suggestions for content creators who you would say do a better job at discussing these subjects, because I love watching people talk about gender theory.

Unfortunately I don't, because near I can tell there really isn't many who DO talk about this, because there's already big names that do and people feel nervous or bad about doing it. I'd maybe check our LGBTA+ thread here, they'd know better than I would on any actual good sources, presumably.

I accept your apology. Phrasing can be tough on the internet. For future reference, you might want to be more direct that that's what you're getting at instead of a sarcastic joke of "if you disagree with me, send death threats to this person".

Well, 50 pages. Honestly I'd start the new thread but I can't actually think of a decent title, anybody ready to jump in and use theirs?

Hey, phrasing is tough in general. I'm not posting on an online gaming forum because of my well developed social skills or anything.

Also, since you were brave enough, I will be too. Solidarity!

Now, that’s a face that inspires trust in one’s leaders.

It's way more than that, and far deeper than my surface level details, but I can't go into details due to forum rules.

Oh, okay.

I think you're not giving yourself enough credit. You're aware enough to realize you needed to walk back what you said, that's more than I can say for some of the people I've interacted with.

The first step to getting better is to expect better of yourself.

This 'life' game has too many microtransactions anyway

And hey, it could be worse, besides body weight there's a couple of my build sliders I really wish I could change (mainly shoulder width), and some that means if I lose weight it'll be really hard to pass if I present as female. Still, if I can get down to a more healthy weight I'm getting at least a sailor fuku, and probably a more extensive feminine wardrobe.

Okay, yes, proportion sliders would be good. Could get up to a healthy weight.

Do you want us to start guessing? I mean, I was going to add in my guess, but I don't want to be rude. Just remember to get off the old men's lawns.

I guess that's fine. I did basically ask for it.

I'm starting to think that the world need a fat-sharing cheme

For the record I think you look 26/27ish? Sorry if that's calling you old.

Anonymouswizard's Semi-Anonymous Semi-Magical Random Banter?

I mean, I have considered both 'Anonymouswizard's Acceptably Assonant Random Banter' and 'Anonymouswizard's Random Banter and free cup of tea', might actually use that latter one Yours is good too.

That would probably be useful for a lot of people.

Good guess. I'll wait to see if anyone else wants to play the guessing game. Though I probably skewed things by my comment.

Well, hurry, hurry, no time to delay. If we reach 51 pages we get locked.

I was waiting until this link wouldn't be a double post.

You know, I didn’t realize how much I missed getting a haircut until I got one this morning.

I am just the oppisite: I forgot how much I hate getting my hair cut until it was cut in March, 2015.

An aristocrat was secretly plotting the death of a rival who had arranged for the bread to be "accidentally" burnt to ash at a banquet. At first he tried poisoning a wineglass at the next banquet, but the intended victim suspected something like this would happen, and so poured some of his wine into everyone else's glasses in order to force the would-be assassin into revealing their treachery. It seems that plan...

Hmm, did I miss an entire conversation about trans issues yesterday afternoon?
