Equating trans rights to Nazis is really telling on yourself, isn’t it. (hexbear.net)

I'm really developing a violent reaction to the "video games are escapism" line.

Like, that's all the art form is to you? A means to escape your life and turn off those dumbass noises in your head for a while?

Also, knifecat escape from what, exactly? bridget-pride-stay-mad

Don't trans people have the right to escape from transphobia also? Flip it on their heads.

They would say that trans people not coming up at all would be an escape from transphobia lol

The main goal of the Nazi film policy was to promote escapism, which was designed to distract the population and to keep everybody in good spirits; Goebbels indeed blamed defeat in World War I on the failure to sustain the morale of the people.

What a dumbass. Not only did he want to reduce art to a distraction, but his analysis of the war is also completely wrong. What no material analysis does to a mf

People who hide behind the word "escapism" are absolutely the sort of people who will go off on a rant about how places like China or Russia or [insert target country here] are full of unthinking drones that wouldn't dream of contradicting the status quo. :projection:
