  • I think it’s very simple. If you spend all day thinking about gay dick, your body is going to react. Normally only gay mascs and horny women spend all day thinking about gay dick. Straight men don’t have a reaction to gay dick because they don’t condition that response. They don’t think about gay dick for long enough for Pavlov to kick in. Homophobes condition themselves by constantly thinking about sex (hot; unconditioned stimulus) and gay (conditioned stimulus) at the same time. If they just quit thinking about gay sex all day, their fetish would go away. But that would require being less homophobic, and they can’t. Then they get worried that they’re gay, because they like dick, so they assume being gay is what they have. And since what they have sucks, they assume being gay sucks, which makes them more homophobic.

    A similar thing happens in POCD, or Pedophile Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The fear of being a pedophile conditions an association between children and arousal, which self-reinforces in a vicious cycle. Fortunately, most people with POCD are not fascists, so they’re capable of having a normal response to it in which they don’t proceed to deliberately indulge in the association. In order for someone to be homophobic and suffer the same thing with gay thoughts, their judgement has to already be compromised, which produces a more toxic reaction.










  • I think that aggression against people on the basis of disability is inherently reactionary, no matter the scale of the aggression, nor the disability in question. Furthermore, there’s also the fact that Ian thinks Gary was wrong to defend an indigenous species from genocide by a colonising power. That is an incredibly bad take to be coming from an outlet often touted as exemplary of leftist values. And the fact that it seems to be a factor that the liberator of the indigenous people is supposedly disabled, makes it very sus.


  • I use capitalised neopronouns because I’m transgender and nonbinary. I’m sure you didn’t realise that, or else you wouldn’t have complained about My pronouns. And yes, I am a person living with narcissistic personality disorder. You can psychoanalyse a potential connection between My gender and My disability if you wish, but please don’t feel the need to share your opinion of My psychiatric history, as I’ve heard, and thought about, it all before. Chicken, egg, it doesn’t matter to anyone else but Me, because it doesn’t hurt anyone except perhaps Me. That is if people are not understanding of My gender identity.







  • It’s diceless. All characters have access to all abilities, as long as they’re willing to pay the cost. Being good at something just means it has less or no cost. If you take on enough cost and don’t get it down the safe ways, your character permadies.

    This is a reflection of the fact that the player characters are gods of world ending power who can do anything… but it’s hard. Maybe your character can blow up the moon if they so choose. But that’s a lot easier than remembering to eat breakfast every day. That’s right, the gods of the void have (a disability that’s an allegory for) autism and ADHD.





  • Thank you. Spreading the politics of soulism has been an uphill battle with the general public, but when I present any one of these points to an expert it’s immediately agreed with. The fact that reality is fake is basically common knowledge among sociologists. It seems, however, that few people have turned this fact into a political will and praxis. The closest I’ve seen anyone come is certain mystery cults. My long term plan is to build a serious political movement. In my opinion there has been a serious flaw in the trans acceptance movement globally up until now in that it did not include soulism. Soulist theory handily disarms every single transphobic talking point with the simplest of logic. And the lateral violence that some privileged queer people exert on those whose identities have less social acceptance suddenly becomes impossible. I think trying to claw forward in rights one identity at a time is a mistake. What our community needs is decisive action to protect everyone who ever has and ever will have a queer identity. And the soulist community is the only political group I’ve ever seen act in such a manner. Individuals, yes, but I have not seen blanket acceptance on a mass scale, because all hitherto mass movements relied on assimilating certain identities into reality.
