Religion, Politics, Political Genders, and...maybe Football. The real football.

What makes a gender political? First I'm hearing that term.

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

It's a play on the joke "There are 3 genders, male, female, and political"

As a lesbian trans person I like the words dyke and tranny, but only use it for myself. They're funny and cute. I was honestly surprised to learn that people are so deeply against the words.

As a lesbian trans person I'll be glad to not hear those words said about me thanks.

Marxism, depending on the audience.

With women, bathroom talk. With the boys we always talk about shit and piss and crack each other up. But mention anything related to that around a girl, she'll look at you as if you killed her dog.

I feel like I’m not good with words, so when I criticize popular things like Baldur’s gate 3 or Witcher 3 I usually get downvoted

People put BG3 on a massive pedestal and any sort of valid complaint around launch was heavily downvoted. It's not quite as bad now, thank god. I got gaslit so much. Everything was my fault supposedly, not their perfect, polished game.
