GenericGirlName posted:I just feel so lucky to be able to use this platform to spread more awareness of issues for people with less privilege than myself. JenX, thank you so much for hosting this gathers. As my beautiful African sisters would say, "Yas, Queen!"! You know, I feel it's really important here not to marginalize the presence of the LGBTQIIAAAPPKGNC++ community in that phrase's origins. It wasn't just a POC space that started "Yas queen" - it was a queer POC space. This erasure is a harmful microaggression. It's just one example of the kind of cultural appropriation and straightwashing that LGBTQIIAAAPPKGNC++ have to endure every day. Maybe next time you should check your privilege before you speak??? I mean I'm not trying to be rude here, it just seems like maybe you should try being a little more woke in the future.

Make no mistake, brother, sisters, and non-gendered or otherwise-gendered siblings, we truly need social justice warriors, because taking on the military industrial complex and its stranglehold on late stage capitalism is a war. Who is prepared to stand on the front lines?! Are you ready to get serious?!?! ... Also I have nothing against penises in or of themselves, merely their use as the symbolic phallus in our phallocentric society. Penises are fine

Okay, I love all this debate, but let's not just sit around talking about change. Who wants to make a real change, now, today??? The country of Timber earned its name for its breathtaking forests like the one you see before you. But this forest isn't just pretty. It's an important part of the ecosystem of thousands of creatures!! Birds, squirrels, deer, geezards, funguars, to say nothing of the rich plant life sheltered by these branches! Timber is its forests. Greedy lumberjacks don't care. They look at these trees and they see dollar gil signs. They're willing to destroy this refuge of nature's bounty just to increase their material wealth. Capitalism at its finest!!! But even capitalists worry about bad press. Like the kind lumberjacks get if they bulldoze trees that have angry teenagers chained to them. Teenagers they would have to murder in order to desecrate these sacred, noble trees!!! ##Protest deforestation Who's with me?! Stand* up for the trees! For the woods! For Mother Nature herself! ((*"Stand" in a very metaphorical way; I'm not being ableist!!! Those who are mobility challenged can still be chained to a tree whilst sitting or lying down!!!)) HELL NO WE WON'T GO HELL NO WE WON'T GO

My Wife on the other hand has gained weight after the birth of our son. I've tried to be positive towards her new body but she is taking it really hard :-( I think she's beautiful but she is having some serious body issues right now. Real talk also: ugh it's so hard just to accept yourself and your own body, and I feel like as women it's even harder because there's this culture that tells you that your self worth is tied to your appearance.

Hrm. I'm not saying I necessarily agree with AA's conclusions, but it feels like he's getting there in a legit way, which is why I lean town on him. This post, I'm not sure about. I see what you're saying, and when I first read it I was leaning town on you as a result, but I keep going back to the last comment: the "AA you are so bad at mafia." If this is AA being bad at mafia, that sounds like you think he's town, just town playing badly, in which case why are you voting him?

Jen X posted:Friends, you must decide: will you join in SiV's noble crusade against capitalist industry exploitation of our environment, the greed and soullessness of creation, the desecration of mother earth herself, or oppose her naive, privileged placement of environmental resource over the people and creations that must inevitably consume to create, the very livelihood of architects and craftsmen, all of whom require wood to ply their trade and spread their labor? Okay fine but here are a few counterpoints you all should consider!!!! 1) I'm not naive, your face is naive! 2) It's all well and good to be worried about the complex socioeconomic layers that go into the root cause of deforestation and how it impacts local communities and it's really complicated yes but these trees are going to die TODAY if we don't stop those bulldozers and maybe we can fix the big messy systemic problems after we save the trees, because otherwise the trees won't be here to save???? 3) Our planet is dying! This is an emergency! How much deforestation can we take before we cross the tipping point of it being too late to save?!?! 4) Bulldozers are stupid and trees are majestic.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:Curious pera stance imo I wouldn't say to unilaterally vote any opposition people, but I do think you can tell a lot by people's reactions. Like in video game Mafia, when JenX had the inventory gun and was asking for volunteers. Scum don't necessarily want town getting or using abilities, but they'd also want to look townie, and want to have a couple of people voting "join" in case everyone who joins gets some kind of a bonus. My guess is scum would hedge, and try to kick up some distrust without actually doing anything. Which is why Nat20's post jumps out at me: Natural 20 posted:Yo forest role is 3p as gently caress It's not that he doesn't trust me -- paranoia is part of any healthy mafia game. It's the nature of this drive by. If he thinks the protest is a bad idea, why not vote to oppose it? If he actually thinks I'm 3p, why not vote me, instead of just tossing out the comment and waiting to see if it gets any steam?

Natural 20 posted:Why would someone driveby post in a game? So first off, I forgot you were drinking -- I was rereading reactions from after the vote was announced, to see if anything jumped out, and your post explaining you were going to drink and shitpost was from before that. So that's my bad. As for locking you in -- it didn't occur to me because I wouldn't have thought voting did lock you in, but a couple of other people have made similar comments. Are day actions not something you can change your mind and re-vote on?

Jon Joe posted:I understand what you mean, but the very suggestion we remove the lurker generates discussion (like this!) so isn’t it a bit moot? No, I'm with Nat on this one. The discussion is flat -- they're not going to be useful, how do we know they're scum? How do we know they aren't? gently caress it, might as well -- it's pretty by the numbers. Worse, suggesting a lurker is the ultimate in no-accountability executions. "Oh, whoops, wasn't scum? Oh well, they were lurking anyway." No case required, no arguments needed, just apathy and people shrugging their shoulders.

I don't tend to vote until late day most of the time. Right now I'm leaning gdolls, because I feel like he plays up the "too scummy to be scum" thing harder when he's scum than he does as town.

I’ve done a lot to read and check player content today, and came to the conclusions that I came to. You suggested voting a lurker, then went "no, wait, nat20 said it's a bad idea, never mind." Then you posted after his effort post with a "yup that's a good case, me too." I don't need every single thought going through your head, but your past few posts boil down to "ok, nat20 is right."
