God forbid.

It’s almost as if they want poor people to have a decent quality of life or something

Oh no, how awful that us on the left prefer that our taxes are spent on ensuring a better quality of life for people than funding a military industrial complex or lining the pockets of people that are already wealthy beyond imagination.

Imagine wanting to keep yer granny warm in the winter what a selfish cunt.

heyyyyyy ummmmmmm i needed a trigger warning for life is strange how the fuck have you people been talking about this game for fucking years and failed to mention THAT SMALL FUCKING DETAIL

like i checked. all the trigger warnings I’ve ever seen for this game mention suicide. i was absolutely fine with that, i got through that scene with Kate pretty well. i’m fine to talk about and think about and play a game about suicide.

but euthenasia was the word you were looking for. the opening card for the game warns you that it deals with suicide, but doesn’t refer to it as euthenasia either. and that’s a whole different ballpark. writing a character to be disabled who only exists to feel sorry about, whose only dialogue is feeling sorry for herself, that needed explicit mentioning too. and I don’t see people mentioning this when i fucking google “trigger warnings for life in strange” like did seriously nobody think?

and a character begging for you to kill her bc she can’t do it herself. that needs a whole damn trigger warning for itself. i don’t care if it’s a spoiler i’m probably going to feel gross and shaky for the next week

you need to be clear and specific about your trigger warnings if it involves some “small detail” that makes it like a thousand times more fucking triggering holy shit thanks

heyyyyyy ummmmmmm i needed a trigger warning for life is strange how the fuck have you people been talking about this game for fucking years and failed to mention THAT SMALL FUCKING DETAIL

Transphobia is a class issue

class-struggle-anarchism:

Transphobia is a class issue. By this I mean that in a class society that is also deeply transphobic, it is impossible to talk about transphobia in a meaningful way without also talking about class. Trans people are more likely, all other things being equal, than our cis peers to fall into the most exploited and oppressed sections of the working class and the extent to which transphobia will negatively affect any given trans person’s life will be mediated by their economic class. This article is not intended to be a comprehensive analysis of every aspect of this issue, but to contribute to an ongoing conversation around it and illustrate a class struggle perspective on transgender issues.
