Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3

Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

I am honestly not that surprised. Considering that they also made a gigantic fuss over having a female or male option in Odyssey. Even when theyalready had the option in Syndicate. (Also anybody remember Jacob Frye was bisexual? Me neither).

tl;dr is that Ubisoft did a rather ham-fisted case of Cutting Off the Branches in Assassin's Creed Odyssey that effectively erased any player choices with regard to romance and character sexuality.

Pardon me while I vomit.

As someone who doesn't really follow Assassin's Creed, I'm inclined to ask, was there an expectation of such branches?

[up] The game was marketed as more RPG-like and choice-based than previous titles, and has multiple romance/sex options for different orientations for both characters.

They've also upgraded the memory-viewing phlebotinum so it's no longer necessary for the characters to have children.

Still a great "screw depression" song even after seven years.

Hey guys, haven't been in here for a while, but I came to ask for opinions. Recently, a troper called dysphere has been removing the word "queer" all over the wiki. Now, I know this word can be a point of contention, but the issue for me is that their edit reasons are taking it personally - saying "don't call me that slur!" or similar. They also removed the word "homosexuality". See, their troper page suggests they're a teenager, so it's hard to believe they have experience of "queer" used as a slur against them. Am I wrong to think this isn't a weird censoring thing? Because the wiki operates on "don't like, don't read" and nobody has taken issue before.

I've made a comment on the ATT.

There are people who don't like the word "queer", but attacking people who use it for themselves has an ugly history.

A very ugly history indeed. Unfortunately as long as there's been organized LGBT/Queer communities, there's been exclusionary and assimilationist wings that fuck over anyone who can't assimilate and/or refuse to bow down to heteronormative respectability politics

Twitch streamer currently running a charity stream for an organisation that supports trans kids and their parents in the UK. And the surreality mainly comes from just who they've been able to get onto the stream.

To be specific, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is there now and I believe Chelsea Manning was there at some point too.

He's playing Donkey Kong 64 to 101% and he's been streaming for like 50 hours now and raised over $250K.

We have a page on his videos, also.

Seems the end results of H.Bomberguy's stream are:

  • Over $340k (compared the goal of £5000) raised for Mermaids.
  • A who's who of modern politics, gaming and Youtubers all appearing in the same place (including John Romero and ContraPoints).
  • A certain former comedian is going on angry twitter rants over it.
  • The man himself's having a well deserved rest.

And now GL is banging the drum about how trans rights is just a cover for Cure Your Gays.

I'm even gayer now that I'm trans, but sure, call it conversion therapy.

[up][up][up] Personally, that was one of the most amazing things I've seen in a while.

A bunch of Trans people got to discuss their experiences, a bunch of allies went to the bat for the community, and GL got pissed.

It was as beautiful as it was surreal.

The awful things he says and does are burned into our cultural consciousness like a CRT display left on the same picture too long. -Fighteer

Even better, apparently GL's said he's personally a fan of Doom.

I love this trend of assholes learning their favourite creators think they're tools.
