  • nobody reads the terms of service, ever.

    also, no modern game companies with any relevance use a FOSS license.

    so the way i see it, gamers have two options:

    • stop playing videogames or
    • only play supertuxkart and dwarf fortress

    neither of these would happen at a scale large enough to force game studios into making their games FOSS.

    the only way i can see of making this happen is by either:

    • a series of very popular, targeted boycotts at studios, or
    • making governments regulate the industry.

    and with the second option, history has shown that only small changes have a chance of passing. effectively abolishing copyright law for software is not something the EU will ever do, no matter how many signatures a petition gets.










  • i know this is an old comment, but i wanted to reply anyway. im sorry for my comment. i hadnt thought about post-op trans ppl at all.

    to clarify however, it wasnt the “first thing” i thought abt trans ppl, im trans myself actually.

    i guess ive had too much contact with pre-op or never-op trans ppl and too little with post-op ppl to have this on my radar.

    i will try to be better in the future!


  • well sometimes u need to refer to ppl who have a vagina, because having a vagina is somehow relevant to the topic of conversation. which in my experience comes up very rarely, so i dont have to use it very often.

    some people who have vaginas arent women, and so if the topic includes those ppl, then “people with vaginas” is the perfect phrase to use. and if talking about ppl with vaginas who all identify as women, cis women is more fitting.

    “female” is a very vague way of referring to something. some ppl use it to describe gender identity, others use it to talk about ppl with vaginas, others again use it to refer to ppl with estrogen-dominant hormonal systems, etc. etc.






  • “uhh u gotta have some kind of wage slavery! lets just beg for the slave conditions to get just a little better! oh this person is saying we should abolish slavery?? ridiculous! dont they know nothing would ever get done in society??”

    i dont wanna argue with the crippled remains of the antiwork movement, bc it frustrates me to no end. but please read some antiwork theory before saying so much dumb shit all at once.
