• Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.
• This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.
• Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.
• Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.
• This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.
• We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.
• If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.
• Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed
• Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?
• For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.
• This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in
• Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial
• Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll
My story with the game is that I didn't want to get made fun of for playing as a girl, so I roleplayed as black instead of playing a self insert.
i didnt hesitate, i picked the fukin girl
on an unrelated note, i cannot believe it took so long to realize this about myself
This, but with the boy, and the name I chose for the character... Oopsies.
Finally chose the girl character when I was away in college and figured it was less likely people would know. Of course next time I see my best friend, he wants to trade pokemon and teased me for using a girl character with a feminized version of my name. Was almost a decade later when I considered I might not be cis.
Well, there’s also the fact so many cis men use female characters in games for many reasons like cooler armor etc. And they’re still cis, so you feel like « that’s not an indicator of being trans » but here we are…
