Rules

1.) No bigotry of any kind, and don't be a jerk either

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.

2.) No Spam

This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.

3.) Posts must have something to do with being trans, or about trans experiences

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.

4.) No Selfies or Character Creations

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.

5.) SFW-only

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.

6.) Submissions must be a meme or they will be removed
7.) Swearing is fine, but slurs are not

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.

8.) Embedded submissions should only link to trusted image sharing sites, no IP grabbers or link shorteners
9.) Use but don't misuse the report button

If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.

10.) Please do not link to any terf, racist, or any other hate communities or forums

Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed

11.) Don't be a jerk nor a troll

Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?

Some notes:

1.) We highly encourage you to use alt text in your posts, so everybody can enjoy this community
2.) It would be really nice if you flaired your posts accordingly in the title

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.

3.) Don't break the law

This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in

Sibling forums:

!egg_irl

Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial

!196

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

"Oh and the transition quest is locked behind a paywall? You gotta do this whole thing just to customize your player character? This is ridiculous."

"And the difficulty of the game may or may not change once you do? What a fuckload of shit!"

I would be so crushed if James was a bigot.

I've done some research, and I think he's okay. Mike Matei has his own bullshit going on, but James has never said anything about his own political or social views, as far as I know.

Besides, he makes a point of ensuring that his content is as apolitical as possible, which is admirable.

What's Mike's deal? Genuinely curious.

According to TV Tropes:

His reputation was tarnished when he boasted about his penis size on social media, complete with him showing a picture of it on the official Cinemassacre subreddit, and deleted comments mentioning the incident, his mishandling of fan favorite Bootsy and Kyle Justin's departure from the site and censoring conversation about them, his antagonistic behavior towards fans who disagree with his opinions on both YouTube and Twitter (going so far as to demand that someone unfollow him for questioning his stance on Disney and superhero movies), publicly taking an antagonistic view towards save-states and rewind features in emulators that was criticized as gatekeeping, claiming the creators of Mortal Kombat modeled The Joker from Mortal Kombat 11 off his take on AVGN (which many saw as narcissistic), and his poorly made edgy webcomic The Loco Bandito coming to light (although he has since apologized for said comics).

Not as bad as I remembered, with my dodgy memory, but still not great.

Took me a bit to realize this was a joke, thought we were raging about the newest video game

At least TMNT had four genders you could swap between whenever you wanted.

When you want non-native software to run on incompatible hardware, you use emulation.

Linux support is garbage, the npcs will sometimes look extremly confused or even crash

That's James Rolfe, in his role as the Angry Video Game Nerd.
