  • This is why I don’t get why liberals treat fiction like it’s divinely inspired. Like analogs and references to real world things in Harry Potter aren’t a result of J.K. Rowling’s ideology, they’re just self-evidently correct divinely inspired metaphors. In their mind, J.K. Rowling isn’t inventing a setting purely from her own knowledge and biases, the liberal becomes immersed in the fiction and unconsciously accepts the text as Rowling merely reporting on truths of this world the way she observes. They don’t read it critically as a world created entirely from her imagination, because it gently confirms their biases


  • That might be true but somebody made a sort or compelling argument against that by pointing out one of the scenes where Sonic gets a bomb or something stuck to his glove and doesn’t think to remove his glove but that scene would make more sense if it was written with his original gloveless design in mind. Although you could just easily handwave that away by saying the scene is more funny if he doesn’t think to remove his glove and that could have been the intention behind the bit in the first place









  • You are a bigot. You are inventing a set of standards for fairness that stops exactly at “trans or cis”. How is it fair that one woman could be groomed and trained from birth by rich parents to be the best swimmer she can is allowed to compete against a poor woman raised with less nutrition who was self trained? Why drawn the line at trans or cis and not literally anywhere else?

    You’re allowed to be born a gigantic thick-boned brick shithouse and compete against guys/girls born way fucking smaller than you but someone born with a vagina isn’t allowed to compete explicitly against somebody born with a dick as the only stated reason and you DON’T think it’s fueled by bigotry? You’re only fooling yourself. If discriminating against trans people made sense, you’d also being chomping at the bit to descriminate by height, weight, net worth, nutrition, etc. etc. You’d have 18 different leagues for one sport all neatly segregated and you could only compete with people who look exactly like you.
