Of course, it is being roundly mocked, as it should be. https://whyevolutionistrue.com/2025/03/16/a-paper-beyond-belief/
TLDR "Queer canine becomings: Lesbian feminist cyborg politics and interspecies intimacies in ecologies of love and violence".This article offers a queer lesbian feminist analysis attuned to lesbian-queer-trans-canine relationalities. Specifically, the article places queer and lesbian ecofeminism in conversation with Donna Haraway’s work on the cyborg and companion species to theorize the interconnected queer becomings of people, nature, animals, and machines amidst ecologies of love and violence in the 2020s. It takes two key case studies as the focus for analysis: first, the state instrumentalization of dogs and robot dogs for racialized and imperial violence, and second, quotidian queer and lesbian-dog relationalities and becomings. In the first, the article traces how dogs are weaponized as tools of state violence and proposes a queer lesbian feminist critique of white supremacy and militarization that can also extend to a critique of the violence committed through and toward the dogs. In the second, the article analyzes how, within lesbian, non-binary, and trans-dog intimacies, dogs help articulate queer gender, sexuality, and kinship formations, and as such, queer worlds for gender, sexual, and kin becomings. The entanglements of violence and love in these queer dog relationalities provide insights into the complexities of queer and lesbian feminist worldbuilding. Lesbian and queer feminist cyborg politics can help theorize the potentials and challenges of these interspecies entanglements"
I swear a dedicated psyops couldn't have devalued the importance of documenting and analyzing how to improve women's lives any better than the rubbish that qualifies as "gender studies" these days.
Imo 4 actually does a great job on occults, so I ended up preordering the pack. Apparently the devs who were leads for Werewolves are also leads for this pack, so I’m really excited!
It's weird, because it sounds like an expansion that should be right up my alley, but ever since they announced that there won't be a sims 5, and that we're instead going to be stuck playing sims 4 in all it's buggy glory forever, I've lost all interest in the game.
They did?? But Sims 4 is so lousy ☹️
It was never that great and has continued to age poorly. They also announced that Project Renee is some awful multiplayer mobile game.
Project Rene will have single player too apparently... : https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Project_Rene
i want to see a Dead Like Me inspired LP with this new pack. It was such a good show. https://youtu.be/cNHDFf1YLlc
Ok, but I’ve been playing as the reaper since the original Rollercoaster Tycoon lol.
Huh? XD
Creatively killing guests was a big thing with RCT 1 and 2. Unfortunately, they removed the ability to do so with RCT 3.
What? You can't do that in 3? Talk about not knowing their audience, lol.
Oh my god I had forgotten about that! My siblings and I used to make the most dangerous roller coasters possible, to see how many park guests we could kill at once 😂
I see... I think I may have played that game once...
But anyway I don't think we will be killing Sims with the Reaper... Just collecting the souls of the Sims that have died and guiding them to the afterlife and stuff...
EA's site said that part of the Reaper's job is to handle disputes between ghosts and other issues that the spirits of the dead may have...
I really hope they make good with this expansion. The preview video actually managed to hype me up! I love the idea of graveyards for my generational stories. And the reaper job might be interesting.
I just hope it isn't an unworkable mess at launch. They told us no sims 5 so quality should be a priority right? T_T
They’re releasing the EP patch on Tuesday and they finally gave modders access to code ahead of time, so I think there’s a really good chance everything is working by Halloween!
Oh wow that's awesome news! Mods are the lifeblood of the sims for me xD
