Are you also going to post about the trans fem tirf discord that openly exists and people talk about Twitter positively or is it just trans men you want to use flimsy evidence against?
no idea what server you're referring to, but if you take a look at just the tirf tag on here you will very quickly get a sense of which trans people they're most interested in including, and spoiler alert it's not transfems
I think one of my biggest contentions with the broader de fanbase (esp on tumblr), is the way people seem to think the 'point' of the story is ultimately uplifting. idk if I'm just a bitter pessimist, but to me, de is much more focused on the spectacular failure to affect change in late stage capitalism. the world of de is essentially a 1:1 mirror to our own, even the more fantastical elements like the pale are obviously meant to be analogous to the existential threat of climate change (I have way more thoughts about the pale but that's an essay I have yet to write). Harry's amnesia and subsequent rediscovery of his past is synecdochally representative of the revechol and it's past. as the player, you uncover both in tandem as you progress through the central mystery of the game. the fact that Harry's ultimate failure, his relationship to Dora, is revealed at the site of a failed revolution is very intentional; both are events everyone is desperate to forget, and yet they are inescapable, informing every aspect of the present reality. again, this is all very bleak, but honestly I think if the game had a more positive outlook I wouldn't have connected with it as much as I have. it's not particularly comforting or inspiring, but it is cathartic.

this piqued my interest so I went to read the story and oh my god you weren't lying it's actually abysmal
why is it so unnecessarily spiteful?? what did Le Guin ever do to her?!??
the isabel fall event was, of course, fueled by transphobia but its genuinely pathetic, looking back, at how much of it appeared to be fueled by petty professional jealousy over the mere concept of being completely overshadowed by something and someone novel to the field
