I can respect the honesty

I'm a bit of a troll myself from time to time

MY problem is with people continuously trying to cram the problems of the real world into the hobby many individuals (myself included) use to get as far fucking away from that clusterfuck of bullshit we call the real world as humanly possible.

My negative reaction isn't to trans individuals, its to the clusterfuck surrounding identity politics in general. I literally have nothing against trans, or people living their lives the way they want. I just don't want to be forced into dealing with the bullshit I came to games to get away from.

But congrats, it's already fucking here. People attacking each other over disagreements in opinion, ffs.

"Don't make this personal, common sense alone should be enough to get the point across. Insults help no one."

I literally never  said I had a problem with your existence or the existence of Trans. I never said anything of the sort, nor is the sentiment remotely true.
IDK where you got the idea that I hated trans, but it's not true and the claim is disingenuous.

The raging prick part though? that's fairly accurate, I am a cynical asshole.

pretty sure "identity politics" and "character customization with mix and match genitalia" are not the same thing. I love me some delicious cuntboys, but I'm not going to label it, I'm just gonna enjoy them for what they are and leave the identity politics and SJW bullshit to the shitty real world where it belongs. Fairly certain nobody is against chicks with dicks, or vagentlemen, they just don't want real world bullshit invading their hobby.

well, ignoring the blatant strawman fallacy you used for your opening statement... Respect isn't given, it's earned. As I stated above: That isn't to say that I don't think they should or shouldn't have the right to live their lives the way they want. By all means, I don't look down upon people for choosing to live their lives that way, and its frankly none of my business either way. On the same token, I'm under no obligation to abide by their new terminology. If I knew someone who was trans and they requested to be called either gender, I'd be inclined to abide by their request. Otherwise, I don't give a damn. You be you, I'll be me. There's a difference between acceptance and privilege, what you're asking for is special privilege, since there's nothing barring trans people from enjoying this game. I accept trans people, I genuinely don't have a problem with their existence. I shouldn't be forced to abide by their custom terminology as a means of "making them feel welcome".

anthro hazard spaghetti?

yes please.

thanks, its nice to see someone capable of thinking rationally and not simply react in butthurtery.

well, yeah, trans men are women who want to be male, so I kind of am more male than they are, because, you know, I'm a man.

That isn't to say that I don't think they should or shouldn't have the right to live their lives the way they want. By all means, I don't look down upon people for choosing to live their lives that way, and its frankly none of my business either way.

There you go again meaninglessly trying for the victim card. You didn't need to quote life expectancy, you don't need to sing a sob story about how "trans can't do this, trans need acceptance" blah blah blah. There's a difference between acceptance and privilege, what you're asking for is special privilege, since there's nothing barring trans people from enjoying this game.

I accept trans people, I genuinely don't have a problem with their existence. I shouldn't have to abide by their custom terminology as a means of "making them feel welcome".

because sexual preference is totes the same thing as gender identity politics.

the underlying significance of the terminology isn't even remotely similar.
You're making a strawman argument and doing a piss poor job at that.

but its ok, the downvotes speak for themselves.
