Unfortunately I can’t find it again, because it was such an interesting and surprising bit of data, but I read a study some years ago that split trans people up into three categories, and compared the rate of suicide among them:

in the closet out, and reported being supported overall by their community/peers after coming out out, and reported being unsupported overall by their community/peers after coming out

I’m referring to this horseshit, you deceptive transphobic dumbass.

Lets look at what I can find:

Further, consistent with minority stress theory, other quantitative and qualitative studies with trans participants have also identified some protective factors for suicidality, namely social support, transitioning, and resilience (McCann et al., 2021; McNeil et al., 2017; Moody et al., 2015). The qualitative study of written responses to open-ended online questions from 133 trans adults—with and without histories of suicidality—in Canada conducted by Moody et al. (2015) identified protective experiences for trans individuals such as self-acceptance, coping skills, and individual reasons for living. Thus, the existing literature suggests that individual, social, and structural factors are relevant for understanding suicide risk and prevention in the trans community.

Sources, or are you just pulling all of that out of your ass?

Part of what the alt right and Trump supporters have done is to renormalize using that slur. It’s important to recognize that it’s usage is part of the “backlash” and not something a good person should say.

At least 25 states, including big districts like New York City and Chicago. Even internationally.

Schools in the US stopped teaching phonics.

It’s 4chan.

That board is full of extremely toxic “do I pass threads” which are all about tearing each other down as a self hate ritual.

Also, only binary MTF’s are welcome. Very hostile to FTM and non-binary people.

I love the way this guy looks in that dress. Big bisexual swashbuckler energy. Doesn’t come across as “cross dressing” - which is fun too - but like a man in a man’s dress.

Is it that this guy had a specific allergic reaction to moon dust, or is it that lunar regolith is sharp and probably not something anyone should be inhaling?

The moon doesn’t have rain or wind to weather down its dust - it’s probably like inhaling shreds of fiberglass.

The episode where her and Mary Kate went on Oprah has been scrubbed off the internet as much as possible, but it was fucked.

Both girls struggled with an eating disorder (let’s be real, any child/teen star does because they’re our societies sacrifice to Moloch) - and she asked them a bunch of pointed questions about diet and weight. Fucking ghoulish.

Don’t forget there were “countdowns to 18” for both of them, just like there were for Emma Watson. Disgusting.

All of the console Sims games are very different from the mainline series. The Sims 2 ones are especially off the walls. GBA ones are cult classics.

Most drug users are people self medicating to cope with serious trauma. Most autistic people are decent human beings.

Elon Musk is a shit human being and a Nazi. It’s not about his autism or drug use. When I get fucked up - I don’t turn into a fucking Nazi.

My hyperfixation with a rape simulator doesn’t mean I want bad things to happen in the real world.

I even save wasps - I fed a dying one until she was strong enough to escape once.

It’s a platform. There are fetish games on it. It mystifies me how parents let their children freely access unmoderated content.

The original (eg, DOS era) Wasteland was a heavy inspiration for the Fallout series. New Vegas harkens back to it; the NCR Rangers are inspired by the Desert Rangers.

I guess of the infamously awful RPGs, it has the most fascinating mechanical mess.

Something like RaHoWa would be pointless and just gross, Wraeththu is just homoerotic world building, HYBRID could be interesting but the mental illness angle is a little intimidating.

In addition, the professions. Things like bread making or soap making are prioritized in development. Trying to figure out how to implement each individual leveling system. I use integers, but some gain decimal points for certain actions. I created a looping system for tenth points, but then another class gained twentieth points. There was surely a better way to do this, but I am happy to let the code reflect its contents.

There are so many small things in FATAL that mean no human could reasonably follow the rules with any form of fidelity.

I think the fact that it took that much time and effort just to complete character generation.

Rolling a character by hand is an ordeal (which I have never even bothered with myself, just watched on YouTube). You can accidentally generate a character who is dead.

You lack so much agency in character creation that it’s something that should be entirely done by a computer. You roll for your marriage status and number of siblings.

I also plan this more as a way to develop my skills for the true project, which would be The Campaign. I need to experiment with ncurses UI design, because that would be a project worth honoring with aesthetic effort.

It is definitely a problem as difficult as the coding aspects. I am using the revised version, which they released after the criticism and has some more offensive elements toned down.

In character creation, one can be “neuter” (to clarify, this is an innovation on my end, which I do attempt to minimize) which will remove any related mechanics entirely. No sexist modifiers. Other offensively named modifiers are simply implemented without name.

However:

There are things like needing spell components to be from women of various sexual experience, and many of the spells involve inducing some nauseating effects. Considering the way spell component and access to magic works though, magic can end up entirely unusable, requiring hyper specific components or having side effects (for example, accidentally casting the titular FATAL, which kills everyone and ends the game). This is why the corpse looting system is necessary for magic, and also a pain in the ass with arrays and such. The idea is that if one does go through all of that effort to cast the spell that facilitates necrophilia with another unpleasant name, the taciturn “You did the thing.” will be enough of a not reward.

Combat is another area where it is unavoidable. The wrestling table has a dice roll that leads to a situation where a male character “may” assault a female character by succeeding on another role. The authorial intent would be likely for the majority of male NPCs to attempt this.

The solution really is that my interest and thus game is focused on the strange professions and skills and errata. The disgusting will have to be offered as a possibility, but I think in a way where it could be excised entirely with an option in a settings menu.

It’s not like it can even be a “fun” game. You can lose arbitrarily at any point due to no fault of your own.

It’s an interesting challenge. I debate on whether I want to ever release it or not - I don’t want to draw attention to the grosser aspects, just the mechanical ones. This is mostly to answer the question “is it possible to complete a campaign of FATAL?” in perhaps the only ethical way.

character.h alone is roughly 14,000 lines of code. This is just character generation and access to the rolls. The code itself is poorly optimized and might prove a similar object of “Bile Fascination” if released.

I have an urge to do something similar for “The Campaign for North Africa,” but this would be worth developing a better thing in ncurses for.
