the difference in standard layout and mobile view is hilarious

I think one of my favourite jumping spiders is Opisthoncus necator just because its common name is just “The Murderer” for some reason, so if I ever go to look at it on iNat, I am greeted with this very accusatory title and what is essentially its mug shot

Headcanon time! Hero worked as a kindergarten teacher for a brief period of time to get some money in the city. When he gets the kids off the bus, he would say "Say byebye to the bus!" and the kids would wave and say their bye. Sometimes he would accidentally say it to the gang when they got off a bus, and they all did it without hesitation since the first time Hero did it.

I think if you're getting actually angry over this and using the term "middle school bully games" the problem might not be the game itself

I mean obviously the problem isn't the game itself, but I don't see a point in making that distinction

I should make this clear.

my experience with The Game for my whole life has been, exclusively, people being annoying to me about it. from my perspective, the way The Game works is. someone says a key phrase then gets either legitimately upset with me or pretends to be upset with me (I'm autistic and can't tell) that I'm not reacting to the key phrase in the way they expect me to. this is what The Game is to me. I intellectually understand that when people play with each other they might enjoy it, but I wouldn't know anything about that, and nobody's descriptions of what they enjoy about The Game sound to me like anything close to my understanding of what "fun" is (I Do Not enjoy pretending to be angry about things)

The game is absolutely used to exert a mild casual cruelty amongst schoolchildren. I’m not saying it’s evil or bad or anything, that kind of casual cruelty is extremely commonplace. But a key part of it is giggling At other people, inducting people into the game, and a sense of superiority when explaining the game to those not in the know.

Outside of this kind of in-group out-group enforcement, I don’t believe anyone actually derives any enjoyment from the game but then again I am not neurotypical so maybe I’ve failed to grasp something.

Happy birthday, Magnus Hirschfeld! (May 14, 1868)

A pioneering figure in the field of sexology, Magnus Hirschfeld was born in what is now Poland to an Ashkenazi family, the son of renowned physician Hermann Hirschfeld. After earning his medical degree, Hirschfeld spent some time in the United States and involved himself in the gay scene in Chicago, which would spur him to study sexuality and gender. Hirschfeld was struck by the universality of homosexuality and the fact that gay subcultures existed in most major cities, as well as the rate of suicide experienced by his gay patients. Hirschfeld worked tirelessly to normalize homosexuality in German society and foster greater acceptance, through both academic and political means. In the liberal atmosphere of Weimar Berlin, Hirschfeld found some measure of success, as the Social Democratic government of Prussia had no interest in enforcing federal laws against homosexuality. He founded the Institute for Sexual Research and built an immense archive of works relating to sexuality and gender research. Hirschfeld made the Institute his literal home, living there with his partner Karl Giese and his sister. Hirschfeld's fortunes would turn as first conservative Chancellor Franz von Papen seized the government of Prussia and began to crack down on homosexuality, and then the Nazi Party came to power in Germany. As a gay, Jewish socialist, Hirschfeld was a threefold target for the Nazis, and he never returned to Germany, having already been abroad on a speaking tour when the Nazis took power. The Institute was shut down and then ransacked, with its library burned. Hirschfeld would spend the rest of his life in Nice, France, dying in 1935.

There's a lot of emphasis on neurotypical people playing "The Game". Is that just because neurodivergent people are usually left out or because most people on here are neurodivergent? I ask as a neurodivergent person who plays.

it's because acting upset when someone else doesn't follow the expected social script is neurotypical behavior

Captions shouldn't be censored. If the video says fuck or cum or cunt the captions should say the fucking word.

Unless it's a slur! No one needs to see that.

Avatar

If they say a slur in the video, the captions should reflect it. The disabled are not little babies who have to have life sanitized for them.

okay but I feel like ur forgetting that slurs don't just apply to the disabled... children don't need to be seeing the n-word or other racial slurs??

but children DO need to be hearing it? are you actually reading the post here?

Here's how it works when subtitles are done properly:

Audio: Let's BEEP go! Subtitle: Let's (censor tone) go!

Audio: Let's fucking go! Subtitle: Let's fucking go!

Removing swears and slurs from the subtitles without removing it from the audio is implying that deaf/HoH people need babying, unlike their hearing friends and family sitting right next to them. Which is frustrating.

The point of subtitles is to give the same experience to everyone watching, regardless of ability—not to be a more palatable version of what's being said.
