re: Progress flag discourse; queerphobia 

The other 'issues' people have are:
1. a dislike of the aesthetics, which: Your personal tastes should not impact the representation of a marginalized people.
2. "It's too busy / x aren't represented": Which is just another take of the lazy "alphabet soup" argument, and just because x isn't explicitly represented right now doesn't mean that we shouldn't celebrate y being represented.

Progress flag discourse; interphobia 

I find it grimly telling that the progress flag, designed by a member of the intersex community, to highlight the inclusion of often-overlooked intersex folk, is getting the 'who cares?' rhetoric.

We get it, you think intersex folk should just shut up about their problems and continue to be invisible.

Shutter Island was put on Netflix semi-recently, and I'm reminded of how GOOD it is.

Experience w/ General Assembly Bootcamp Admissions / Vent; Transphobic micro-aggression 

Me: Gets unsolicited call from admissions
Me: Looks up GA and decides to give them a shot; Schedules interview later that day
Them: Does not call until more than 12 hours after scheduled time, when I'm busy.
Me: Decides to try and officially apply, hoping that it will smooth the process out
Them: Calls again during lunch
Me: Attempts to nail down a time in which both parties are ready to properly communicate
Them: Accepts the time
Me: At the accepted time, notes that they're almost half an hour late
Them: Calls, notes a "discrepancy" from my deep voice and feminine name, nearly hangs up
Me: Confirms my identity before they get a chance, is routed to the actual Admissions Officer
Them: "Sorry, I'm not available right now, can we schedule for next week?"
Me: "Okay" 🙃

Bojack spoilers 

'Been watching Bojack Horseman. Got to the episode that asks the question: How do you depict intrusive thoughts?

To contextualize earlier thoughts on my social history: I used to have a lot of acquaintances who liked to claim they were 'queer-friendly' but mostly just cynically used my queerness as a blame-dodge for participating in virulently anti-queer or queer-exploitative behavior.

Kink Discourse; Pridefall 

Very patiently waiting for certain queer content creators to apologize for promoting known anti-queer propaganda now that the literal actual receipts have been collected.

Waiting *very* patiently

someone recently asked me to sum up the philosophical difference between Ryu and Ken, because I guess I'm the friend people go to for that, and I think the way to put it is Ryu wants to throw the PERFECT hadouken, whereas Ken wants everyone to be able to throw a DECENT hadouken

Wolf what's wrong with your neck!?

FGC Gripe 

Gotta vent/gripe about people on twitter complaining about 'rollback heads': The issue is that we want good netcode, and the only known implementation of good netcode was rollback, so that's what was asked for. It's not about blindly asking for rollback, it's that it was literally the only option for consistency.
