I really didn't mean for the conversation to take the tone it did. I was really just speaking in a general way, not canonically modern.
hope things lighten :)

I'll be back in like 20 minutes to check out if the games started.

Hmmmm, do I start my game tonight or tomorrow?

Also,






Just grabbed a few quotes, but did I really start this discussion by saying that everybody is going to be female in the hunger games? Then people started talking about how we would know if the pokemon were female and whatnot.
Sorry if that’s how you feel.

Personally I never wish to enter these types of discussions because I know if I say something, someone will disagree with me.

Neutrality is a very fickle thing.

So we’re talking about Pokémon gender differences huh?

Not sure if I can contribute much to this conversation but...

Did you know that Pikachu Libre is a girl?

That’s all I got right now. And I’m not trying to go to Bulbapedia to look up any other gender differences either.
Thank you. I needed to know this.

Depends on if you think you can stay up long enough.

No, please, explain what the hell you mean.

How the hell am I 'being transphobic' when this information is taught in ****ing grade school.

This is ****ing stupid.
Arg... I don't LIKE discussing gender philosophy, especially when I'm making Supermen fight each other but if you insist...

*inhaes* the statement "that's just how nature is" when referring to a gender binary is a harmless statement when applying to animals by themselves, but some people who aren't inclusive or respectful towards trans people use these exact same sentiments to invalidate our identities. So i guess you are not being transphobic, but rather reflecting potentially transphobic ideology.

Anyway, on with the show! Things are getting interesting. We now have to deal with an...

Beat Sekiro, and aside from a couple roadblocks I honestly found it much easier than I expected compared to my first playthroughs of other Fromsoft games. I think legacy skill from Dark Souls/Bloodborne helped me more than I expected it to, even though Sekiro doesn't play anything like either of them.

Except, I'm not.

I'm using it to talk about animals, and, that is how nature is in kingdom animalia. If you see a big, black widow, it's female, it's venomous, it's dangerous, it's nature's way of saying "Hey, that thing's dangerous".


I'm not even talking about people, but, it's a scientific fact that female arachnids are HUGE compared to men.


Please, stop trying to make this political.

Can I just say I really dislike what they did to Blathers in AC: New Leaf?

'Cause I really dislike what they did to Blathers in New Leaf. He just doesn't have the same charm he used too, which is a huge shame, because the rest of the game's cast is still brilliant (well, besides Resetti, that is).

Well... it was pretty damn clear we were talking about Spiders and how they have needs in nature to be different sizes, not about humans.

I feel like I managed to quadruple the amount of the gifs the Oz anime has.

Seriously, two gifs when I google searched one time.

Non-human animals don't have a concept of gender. It's a very human thing. Saying that non-human animals exist on a binary male-or-female basis isn't being transphobic.

Most animals don't have self-awareness, and as such, don't have a concept of gender. Humans do, but we aren't talking about humans.

OK... what?

This isn’t a matter of gender philosophy, it’s a matter of biology. Animal/Non-human biology.

We are not talking about humans here.

I honestly don’t get why this is turning into an argument when Shroob is only stating something that’s been proven and is pretty common knowledge.

Not every single ****ing statement on gender has to be a political one.

Sorry for being blunt about this, but it really annoys me that people sometimes take everything, including scientific facts, as some political statement.

While I can understand the reasoning you can view it as I tend to make the same arguments all the time (against transphobes, that is), when the particular subject was visual design of a Pokemon like Pikachu, and referencing a real world example of sexual dimorphism, it does feel a bit like lashing out.

This on the other hand, is extraordinarily transphobic

I never knew I needed an image of Grievous dying from toxic berries in my life until now.

I'm not making friends with either side, am I.

Shroob, while I may agree with your stance that female spiders are larger than male spiders and cannot be changed, I just want you to be aware that this is Smashboards, not a controversy forum. You don't need to always get the last word, especially when you are flirting with danger by continuing. Same goes for SnakeFighter, we don't need to have this discussion here.

I did say he was getting close, not that he actually was. The problem is that a lot of people don't assume that what you're saying dosn't also apply to humans. Because humans are animals. I hate it when stupid people misunderstand and weaponize science to enable bigotry, and I feel like you always need to qualify what you are saying to keep them at bay.
