Wow, that's so accurate and so disturbing all at the same time . . . and so male.
And every time you go to actually check out the profile of these "stealth passing beautiful wxmxn" it's just literally Buffalo Bill from silence of the lambs in a party city wig.
It's actually insulting, they think women are some NPC automatons and if we register "wig" input our laydee brains tell us "equals woman". Hence the fault of not being accepted into womanhood is never with the TIM but with these damn women who can't understand that wig = woman
I have a friend who had a talk with her husband before getting married, and both of them agreed - as part of the mutual decision to be together and start a family - to avoid playing video games. This is a non-trivial decision, since they're both programmers in major tech companies, where games are a huge part of the culture. She thinks they're harmful to mental health in many ways, and her husband was convinced. They're still together, which is more than I can say about many other women in my friend circle and family.
I think a lot of trans culture is about the stuff you mentioned: skins, items, levels and quests (outfits, hormones, entering women's spaces and medical procedures IRL). They gamify RL.
Gaming is the main addiction that runs in my family, and my uncle has essentially decided not to play them because he knows he can’t moderate how much he plays. I spend too much time on them but in creative or social games (like Animal Crossing and Elder Scrolls, way more women playing both of those), and I’m willing to drop them any time they conflict with something important. Any time I seem to get stuck in them, I can usually switch back to focusing on real life by turning what I should be doing instead into easy bite-sized task lists to cross off for the same dopamine hit from feeling like I’m making progress on something.
Gamification to improve RL doesn’t have to be bad. It’s just that men seem to use any tool they have for exclusively selfish goals. Jane McGonigal TED talk about gamification
They're completely out of touch with reality.
Yup. It' s a PlayStation trophy for them, and they talk about it with other players in the same way.
I'm sending you a trophy for "most accurate comment I've ever read on the internet"
I love how men pretending to be women do it like a video game. There are skins, items, levels and quests. When they can’t figure out how to finish a quest, they go on forums and strategize with other men. When they do complete a quest, they go on a forum and brag to other men. It’s remarkable
