To the folks saying that Xbox was laughed at when they announced the Xbox One was not going to let you run games without mandatory internet checks every so often and then bullied into NOT doing it...
They did do it back then. They're still doing it now. They just don't tell you up front anymore.
And the company (Sony) that made fun of them at that E3 also started doing it and are still doing it now. They ALSO don't tell you up front.
And Steam does it for a bunch of titles.
And Epic's game services does it too.
And so do all digital distribution platforms.
And so do any/all software that have become "subscription services" too.
This has been going on for 15+ years now, it's been a whole ass war on you NOT actually owning the digital version of the thing you "purchase" and that the company you buy it from has the ability to lock you out of it temporarily or permanently on a whim.
It ain't just a gaming issue, it's a whole Companies Vs The People issue on all fronts.
Like seriously a company, once again, tells you "Yeah that's what this is and what it always has been" and people are acting like this is NEW.
It ain't new, you've just been not informed by the companies doing it to you for the last 15+ years after one company got made fun of for it one time and they learned that telling you made you mad.
So when a different company tells you again and you get mad again - we're just gonna repeating the cycle in infinitum until a real solution is found.
I'm tired of support for masculine dykes not extending towards transfeminine masculine dykes. really, there's not a lot of support extended to transfeminine dykes at all. there's a lot of transmisogyny within dyke spaces, (courtesy of a lot of transmisogyny being within Society) & we need to address this. how come boydykes are only celebrated from a transmasc, tme angle? more than that, only defended from a gender essentialist, transfeminine exclusive angle-- "trans men should not be excluded from lesbian spaces due to their afab experience." check your biases & gender essentialism, if you defend 'boydykes' on the basis of gender essentialism, with exclusion of transfeminine gnc dykes. check yourself & your biases. ask yourself what your defense for transmasc lesbians implies in the inverse scenario, for trans women. watch your language, adapt accordingly, be inclusive of trans women for once.
there are butch trans women, trans women who identify with masculinity, trans women who identify as boy dykes. genderqueer tma dykes who identify with manhood and womanhood both. the human experience is a spectrum & for every hypothetical transmasc you can envision & support, there's a transfem out there too. so what is with the lack of support, the judgement, gatekeeping, the transmisogyny?
trans women are punished doubly for not conforming to & performing femininity. extend your support towards gnc trans women with just as much, if not more valor than you have been for the gnc tme.
or, yknow--just extend your support towards trans women. there's seemingly a lack of that in our community.
doing that thing TMEs do where they say “omgggg XYZ generic white male fictional character is a transmasc butch lesbian 🥰🥰🥰” except im saying theyre transfem femme lesbians
