But transgenders and pronouns were never ever a thing in the Dragon Age franchise, and now they suddenly feature these so prominently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krem_(Dragon_Age)

Every Dragon Age game has had pronouns because that's how fucking language works. Your brain has just been poisoned by right-wing outrage over "pronouns".

Also, "transgenders" isn't a word. "Transgender" is an adjective, not a noun, not that I expect that to mean anything to someone who freaks out about "pronouns".

😂

This sounds like a plausible thing that actually happened.

I see what the problem is.

Here, this should be more agreeable to you:

The New York Times is full of shit (Opinion)

Mark Richard Shuttleworth (born 18 September 1973) is a South African and British entrepreneur who is the founder and CEO of Canonical, the company behind the development of the Linux-based Ubuntu operating system.[1] In 2002, Shuttleworth became the first South African to travel to space, doing so as a space tourist.[2][3][4] He lives on the Isle of Man and holds dual citizenship from South Africa and the United Kingdom.[5][6] According to the Sunday Times Rich List in 2020, Shuttleworth is worth an estimated £500 million. --Wikipedia

This explains so much.

Oh, well, if others are worse then I guess you're not doing anything wrong.

At what point do carbrains become liable for destroying the environment?

"It is different when real imminent harm to real organisms in the actual real world is involved"

stares into the camera like I'm on The Office

"Grow up and live in the real world" / "Life's not fair" / other thought-terminating cliches used to shut down anyone who wants the world to be a better place than it is. Like, I fucking know it's an unfair place. The whole point is that I would like for it to be less unfair.

your distro has it prepackaged 1 version out of date

And the only reason you wanted to install the thing is because it's a prerequisite for some other thing you wanted to install, which requires the latest version.

What do you mean by "misandry"?

If you mean "women venting about their experiences in a male-dominated world", then I don't give a shit. I just try not to be the reason they're complaining.

If you mean unrealistic emotional expectations for men, like we're not allowed to cry or be sensitive or feel any emotion but anger, it frustrates me. I don't really know how to handle it.

This is what I've seen called "the subtractive fallacy".

People say "cars are bad, we should rely on them less", and instead of envisioning what that would actually mean, you just assume that the future they advocate for is exactly the same as the present but without cars. Of course that would suck. Good thing no one wants that.
