@Boyslowdownn shit held me down when i was broke asf with no games or ps plus 😭

It’s a nigga rn playing dc universe online

@justlurkingwhat @k3miffy But at the end of the day, it’s better to focus on understanding why something is being called out instead of turning it into a competition over who has the authority to define it.

@justlurkingwhat @k3miffy People can discuss and debate what racism is, but it’s not really about “one group gets to decide” over another. Definitions matter, but so does lived experience and context.

regardless of sexuality i dont like men telling women what is and isnt misogyny idk

mfs will be like “i hate rap cs it has misogynistic lyrics” and then listen to nazi metal

@themeinyellow @doggygoth @k3miffy That argument doesn’t hold up. Experiencing something and defining what it is aren’t the same thing. Saying people should listen to women’s experiences is fine, but turning that into ‘only women can decide what counts as misogyny’ is just not logically consistent.

@rlurlu2 @doggygoth @k3miffy "I don't like men telling women what is and isn't misogyny." Which they shouldn't! They're not women. They should listen to women's experiences because women are the ones who experience the misogyny. Nobody is moving the goal posts. That's just what the original tweet says.

@doggygoth @themeinyellow @k3miffy 😭😭😭

@doggygoth @themeinyellow @k3miffy That’s still not the same thing you’re claiming. Saying men shouldn’t decide what misogyny is isn’t the same as saying they can’t recognize or define it. You’re flattening two different ideas to make it sound simpler than it is.

@themeinyellow @k3miffy Then say that instead of moving the goalposts. Defining misogyny isn’t the same thing as invalidating women’s experiences, and pretending they’re the same thing just weakens your point.

@rlurlu2 @k3miffy That's not what they're talking about though. They're not talking about men pointing out misogyny. They're talking about men invalidating women's experiences with misogyny.

@vueduu @W1nt3r1d0l @Rpm13823140 @lurapika_ get you’ve played for a long time, but seeing patterns in skin designs doesn’t automatically turn into a race argument devs usually design skins around themes and popularity, not some hidden agenda. You can critique choices without turning it into everything being about race.

@rlurlu2 @W1nt3r1d0l @Rpm13823140 @lurapika_ I mean ur trynna tell someone who played Ow since 2018 that there isn't anything race probkems involved w these games when I've witnessed them do black heroes so wrong with skins meanwhile they give the white women cutesy bitsy teeny weeny innocent pink girl aesthetic skins 🫩

black women added to their game this year overwatch: 1 marvel rivals: 0

@vueduu @W1nt3r1d0l @Rpm13823140 @lurapika_

@rlurlu2 @W1nt3r1d0l @Rpm13823140 @lurapika_ Ow & Rivals has patterns. If you're not open minded people like you are typically blind

@vueduu @W1nt3r1d0l @Rpm13823140 @lurapika_ And acting like only white people enjoy certain characters is just stereotyping the entire fanbase at that point. Not everything revolves around race 24/7 😭

@vueduu @W1nt3r1d0l @Rpm13823140 @lurapika_ So now every popular character automatically means ‘white baiting’? People play characters because they like the design/gameplay, not because they’re trying to become another race. You’re turning a video game into a race obsession for no reason.
