The fact that you are a guy (Or are male-identified?) and care so much about misogyny/equal rights and have such a sharp eye for that (and seem to hate the same writing tropes as I do, lmao, and have EXCELLENT TASTE IN CHARACTERS ♥ ) made me want to be buddy-buddy with you :D IT'S HOT I WILL ADMIT and something I do not run into often!!

And I saw it on the RP-anon-meme, actually. I was about to get on their asses on a thunderous diatribe when others luckily got on the mods asses for me. What I wonder is ... what are they trying to accomplish? There is nothing particularly subversive about what they are saying or doing, and are not even giving out a fleshed out history of the world and how this supposed male subjugation and slavery occurred in a believable manner. The fact that women, who are by and large second-class citizens on a global-scale, have to be put into a male-sexed body just so they can experience oppression in an even more extreme form is ... well, what DOES it say about sex and gender? Nothing, really, it's reinforcing and simplifying sex politics for the titillation of a game ....

It's like, why even try to masquerade it as social commentary when it's actually just stupidity, lol? :|
