it's possible for people to explore their feelings and their hardships without appropriating the politics of people who are killed for theirs.
not to mention the fact that otherkin werewolves claiming trans immunity as a 'metaphor' are just gonna make it harder for the transgender people to be taken seriously and i just wish i never had to write this sentence

what does 'claiming trans immunity' mean?

using the idealogical arguments/points of the transgender discussion the a defense of a non-transgender identity as though it's all the same

I spent a large proportion of yesterday reading about the Final Fantasy 7 house thanks to the "soulbonding" wormhole you guys sent me on. Jesus bloody Christos.

Insane young couple claim they are multiply soul-bonded video game characters from FF7 (and a host of other fictional characters), invite other young people in the fandom to stay with them and convince them the whole thing is real, take their money, separate them from their friends, hit them a lot...
No idea how much of the story is true (it seems to be fairly immature people in their early 20s, so could be a lot of dramallama interpretations, for one thing), but it's a complete mindfuck.

I very clearly remember her putting on a lab coat and calling various medical supply companies in the yellow pages trying to get medical syringes.
she put on a lab coat so that she could trick the ppl she was calling over the phone.
wonderful.

Thanks, G! I've always read this thread as "Rolling This is Racist . . ." util now. Anyway, I can't believe this was a real thing. "Dinnertimin'" is pretty great though, it's true.

yeah, it's not racist if i start using "Dinnertimin" in my day-to-day life is it? Cos i might start doing that

I kind of feel like the whole patronising Orientalism thing is racist, but the clearly hyperbolic "I want to skin them and wear them" isn't. Unless it's playing to a stereotype I've never heard of?
