This may sound weird but I would like to get a house outside of the city so I can have a garden, and also for some peace and quiet. Maybe it's not that weird but many people have told me it's weird. That'll probably also help with my sleep issues which is another goal of mine.

Another goal of mine is to improve my programming skills since most of my code is spaghetti-code.

Also I'd want to improve my micro-soldering skills so I can better do console modding.

Feel like these are some pretty good goals, some are a bit ambitious but hopefully I can achieve at least a few of them.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

They are great and wonderful goals. Good luck! I am sure you will achieve them.

Snake girl, as in, eating an entire animal and then sleeping under a rock for a week? Already got that unlocked 😎

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Something like this, except with my mid back long hair and my Freddie Mercury mustache

I'm having one hell of a time building pecs though

I'll get there though if I more consistently work out, but that's the hardest part

I want to create a fitness channel for fat people so I can feed off their engagement to keep myself engaged in fitness so I can be not fat, but then I would be a skinny guy with a fitness channel and there's lots of those 🤔

Faceless helmet-wearing space being, please and thank you.

I used to pick this in shooting games like Gears of War 3 before I figured out that I'm trans. Now I want snake girl transition goals.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

When I was questioning my gender, I wanted to look like Stephen Merchant.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

People joke about genocide and racism. "It's a joke" is not a valid argument against criticism.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are you actually comparing someone posting an anime girl to genocide and racism

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hi friend. There's two ways to compare things together, using either a simile or metaphor. A simile uses "like" in the sentence to compare two things: hot dogs are like sandwichs. A metaphor is symbolic of something else, commonly also called hyperbolic communication: Elon needs to pull his head out of his ass.

What we have here is called a statement of fact. It is not a comparison to say that I've had both good days and bad days at my work. Do they have the same context (work)? Yes, but most people would compare their good days to other good days, and their bad days to other bad days. What I responded to is called a non-unique argument: i hope this is self explanatory. It is disengenuinous to say that jokes do not cause harm, when there are many types of jokes lead to additional harm through the normalization of stereotypes and rhetoric. In this case, the original commenter called out a joke that could potentially lead to harm

Hope this helped ❤️

How is this going to lead to harm?

And if you're going to answer something like "oh they're going to think we're weird kiddie diddlers", the only person who would look at a meme of someone saying that they want to look like an 18-ish anime girl (especially considering that OP may be around the same age range, for all you know) and conclude that trans people are weird kiddie diddlers ..... are the people who already hate trans people and will come up with other reasons no matter what we do.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My main argument is that "it's just a joke" is bad and shouldn't be used. It's an extremely common right wing talking point used to excuse harmful rhetoric. In the eyes of the original commenter, they are calling out harm. I don't necessarily agree with them. I'm just saying "it's just a joke" is bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

When one says something, there's always some more information to be gleaned from context. Like yeah, I agree that some people use the phrase "it's just a joke" to be a dipshit, but I'd only bring it up if there was someone is being a dipshit.

By bringing it up in that context, it's giving an implication that you are agreeing with them, and it gives you the bonus of being able to wriggle out and go "oh actually I'm not on their side" once you get criticised.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

You can see my response with the original commenter to see that I didn't agree with them, posted before your first comment on this thread.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Rem is 17-19. I think 9 was a bit of an exaggeration. ...but yeah, I'm not sure what's up with the maid outfits. My honest thoughts, I think it stems from patriarchal ideas of what constitutes the core aspects of what it means to be a woman....an over sexualized cook and cleaner. A lot of trans women struggle with wanting any attention at all, even gross comments from misogynists because it validates their gender expression. It was covered in Pose (2018) pretty extensively for anyone wanting media that talks about the trans experience.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I can see that for sure.

I don't like the mini version "she's one thousand years old in the lore, she just looks like a kid" tho. I know some of you that see art like this more regularily might not see this the same because of what you've self normalized, but that right there is a preteen with slightly exaggarated breasts, and adding boobs to a child doesn't make fetishization of the other features of them any more exusable. (I know you aren't saying it is btw, it's a general statement)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What's with people being unable to tell (or lying about) how old a character is? I've seen this so much on Reddit too where a character (such as here) has a developed body and someone thinks they're like 7. There are plenty of real anime examples to use that are weird, so why make new ones up?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wow ok as someone who doesn't engage with anime much, some of you who've normalized the artstyle to yourself are blind about just how neotenous some anime characters are drawn to be

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is Rem one of those characters? She has breasts and wide hips that are visible in this image. I guess cute faces mean people are 9 now. You could have said 15 or something and I'd agree that's understandable, but 9? C'mon lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, I can't post images bcs of a bug, but I urge you to google images 9 year old, 15 year old and 20 year old women and compare them with the pic in the meme... I don't care much for what weebs use to signify age in anime characters because that's a standard within an industry that heavily fetishises childish characteristics in women in general. If a sexualized character looks more like a real kid than a real woman, it's a problem.

Also "she's an older kid, c'mon" doesn't help the case even a percentage point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My initial point was that you either can't tell her age or are lying about it. I still believe that to be true. Anyone being honest with themselves based on the entire character's appearance would think she is a teenager or an adult. Saying she's 9 ignores most of her appearance and is a warped viewpoint. So I don't agree with you at all. And it's pretty clear you'll never agree with me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

pls pull up images of real people and compare. Alternatively show to people around you who don't engage with anime stuff and ask them to estimate.

I get our standards are different bcs I don't care for the artstyle (I also don't know "the entire character's appearance", I see what's in front of me), but you have to realise mine is prolly the majority viewpoint outside terminally online spaces - you can test that, do it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

it makes me feel horrible about being trans

That's maybe something you should personally inspect, why? How does this reflect on you?
