man, poor stalin, dude is hated on by just about everyone but now it's official, he's a "no"

For the “NO” list, I asked people to send me the names of “cis men, living and dead, who make [your] blood boil: misogynists, paternalists, abusers, rapists, rape apologists … people whom you find toxic, people whose physical presence or intellectual influence in left spaces … hinders or forecloses our collective possibilities for transformation, liberation, and making total destroy.”

I can't tell if the divide on that yes/no image is supposed to be top/bottom or left/right, the design is just so bad

A white man made the game; set up the categories and tells us to fight it out. Sounds about right.

no one wins bc the most unprivileged group at the end can't be particularly happy ab that designation; it reminds me of the time my parents went to buy an RV and the salesperson asked them w/ "genuine curiosity" how it feels to be in the most despised group of ppl in the world. they didn't buy an RV from that person, obvs.

Cast my votes and so far the only outcome that's really hard for me to accept is bisexual << (is less priviledged than) lesbian. Bi (man) << gay man maybe, I couldn't tell you about that, but bi (female) clearly have it better than lesbian women.
