Yeah, I'm at the front lines of it. Every few months, we get a scare where a leftist theater kid or a straight woman who keeps talking about Queerness turns up and calls things problematic or harumphs at someone's accent.

I would love for D&D to be taken away from WotC and put in the hands of someone who will make some fucking content for it.
Also, this battleground isn't dead, the 5e player-base is fucking ridden with leftists that will eat up queer land acknowledgements. There legitimately is a market for their products. The biggest blow they took lately was the OGL fiasco and how it made all the big-deal podcasters (who have mostly drifted towards being Leftist or Leftist-safe if they weren't there already, to my understanding) try to swap to third-party systems.

Maybe he WAS a good pick for Paul, then. Dune's morality is bio-essentialist.

Then the two of you together should get a larger apartment in that same city.

General rule; never move for a girl. You'll uproot yourself and your functional social status will be reduced, the girl will mysteriously find you less attractive and dump your ass. Maybe it's (slightly) safe(er) if you're both moving together and already married.
The career thing smells. I also don't quite get the flat-out refusal to drive.

I remember that, I just also remember the vibes coming from normie sources, or as normie as anything on the 2010 internet could be.
I associate Elevatorgate more with the rise of prominent "geek girls" that didn't seem to like geeks or geeky things.

Thank you, but I have to say, that second link does not sound like an actual woman, more like a dude making a point.

This is frankly Wellness-Wednesday adjacent.
Does anyone else remember when the internet was full of Women (capitalization intentional) complaining that men hit on them? My perception as a guy in the early 2010s was that the list of places/contexts where you weren't "allowed" to speak to a woman was growing every day. It started with the gym/bus/grocery store, but then came to encompass every possible social context where men and women might come into contact with eachother. It reached a point where I was expecting to see an article titled "We Need To Talk About The Serious Problem of Women being Flirted With at Singles Events."
It's just that, now in the current year, I can't seem to actually find any solid examples; aren't all these important feminist essays archived somewhere? I remember them being inescapable.
Here's a pithy summary: When I hear women complaining that men don't approach them in public anymore, I want to link a 2010s feminism article and say "This is why." But...where are the articles? Did I imagine them?

It stops being holy if it becomes an LLM-ism. Same with it's not X, it's Y.
The AI is doing us a favor by finding all the vapid, say-something-without-saying-anything phrases in writing and making them feel icky.

She's also zero-covid.
In order for women to mock men for playing D&D, they'd have had to know what it is, and plenty of women plainly like some element or other of the concept of the game (they like roleplaying tea parties).
The main issue was that they wanted nothing to do with the men that played it.
