Try and reformulate your sentences to circumvent the filter. Somehing like this can help, replaces the words with lookalike characters. Zalgo might also break it.

No recognition for our fellow enbies. Oh yeah and GNC people as well. May seem silly to criticize them for that until you realize how long the Pokemon company has held out on Nonbinary recognition.

Who says you can’t, I’ve done it before and it’s fine, just gotta push the bits to the side or tuck them down below but it still works.

That is very true, there is no one universal experience. I didn’t have a way of knowing for sure what the author’s intent was since on it’s own it could go either way and I have seen other people post messages that legitimately do claim to impose gender expectations on people in that kind of way. It’s good to know that she didn’t mean it that way, though it also is very sad that so many people continued to misinterpret her to the point that she had to stop posting.

Something important to remember is that even though the intention with games like that is to identify with the character you’re creating people don’t often play games as they are intended (if they did would modding games be as popular as it is?). So the argument framed in the 4th panel, despite it being framed as invalid or shaky is actually a valid argument because if people are using mechanics in ways that aren’t intended, then it’s only natural this would be one of them. Let’s face it, not everyone identifies with the characters in the game and they may want to satiate their attraction rather than to identify as the character, this is a common sentiment in 3rd person games where the character is being looked at from the outside, AKA a perspective that isn’t you.

Another thing about this is aesthetics, because people can like things that are seen as feminine without actually being girls, people like this who identify as male are femboys, and they are valid as they identify. Unfortunately most games out there which have the courtesy to offer the luxury of character creation, don’t offer gender-nonconformity as well. So this is another reason to violate intended use case. So 2 and 3 are very much valid use cases.

All in all this isn’t the worst thing but I’m not really a fan. There’s many reasons someone can use avatars in games that are different from their own sex and gender, the way this is framed makes it seem like it automatically means that you must be trans. In addition this mentality is a double standard since it obviously never applied to the many female gamers before gender selection was implemented as widely as it is now, I mean them playing as a boy doesn’t make them a boy now does it. Also the attitude of “oh ho ho that’s not very cis of you” does not come across as respecting the egg prime directive very much, but also at the same time doesn’t come across as outright disrespecting it.

It’s also a gamble because you might get a painless one but also could get one that is insanely painful. Those odds aren’t clearly defined and quantified like the button’s odds.

You either have a 99% chance of cashing out big but a 1% chance of dying horribly. What body part you press it with doesn’t make a difference.

In this context gruesome death means something violent and painful, think back to Final Destination or a Saw movie for some examples.

Can always keep pressing until you get it, or just keep pressing to increase odds, these buttons usually allow multiple pushes.

Nonbinary identities kinda break the idea of straight or gay since straightness or gayness are depended on the gender of the person, so when that gender is outside of the binary it doesn’t work right.

I agree, and that’s for the best, fuck oppressive gender stereotypes.

Not sure how an estrogen laser would work but if it’s anything like it sounds I wouldn’t want to use that on people, seems very unethical.

I have no clue, probably something to do with them taking up less space and being faster to use, though I’m not really sure the speed benefit is that great.

I usually pee standing up, however I prefer to use stalls because I like privacy, I never use urinals.

I think Bigender.

I can kind of see how it would be a mirror, if the circle was bigger.

Well it was meant to be the symbol for mars so not far off. I don’t get the female one though, no matter how long I look at it it just looks like a legless stick figure.

When I was growing up I never understood nor was I ever told what those symbols met, the first time I saw them was in fireboy and watergirl and my first thought when seeing them was exactly as described in the meme, which confused me because both fireboy and watergirl have bodies and neither of them have horns.

Even if I wanted to it wouldn’t be possible due to Androgen deficiency (and a severe unwillingness to take hormones to replace what’s not there) and also the fact that I have abnormal sex chromosomes (XXY). So the Aroace (in my case Enby) wins both through will and biology, check and mate queerphobes.

Is it even technically gay if the two users are opposite genders? (not sure if Zeppo is male, it only seems like it from the profile, if I’m wrong I deeply apologize).
