That’s an optimistic answer. But I’ll take it. There’s not much optimism around lately.

I’m not sure what your argument is. I’ve been working with pedophiles for 10+ years in the past. I’m curious about how society creates and identifies its “monsters”, that’s all. Not sure you’re on topic.

Maybe that’s the reason. At least that’s what I tend to think. But at the same time, it the rise of pedophilia to the prime type of deviancy looks quite… recent, if I may say? So something is society may have changed in the last decades/century to make it so?

Food for thought indeed, thanks.

Honestly, I’ll vote for them. But they disgust me with all their power struggle about who’s going to be prime minister. In doing so, they’re tearing apart the whole thing. They swore that they wouldn’t betray us. They’re betraying us everyday by showing everybody it’s just a struggle between egos. They’re paving the way for the far right too with this ridiculous display of inflated heads.

I’ll vote for them, then I’ll puke. The only frontliner I’m feeling like supporting in the future is, maybe, Manon Aubry.

France is becoming a far right country on two weeks. Do yourself a favor and stay as far as you can.

I know it exists, but I’m so happy to buy a game I’ve played and finish. Pyre, Transistor, A story beside and so many others. Just as a “Thank you”.

P. S. : of you people didn’t know about it, check A Story Beside. One of the games I’ll never forget.

Welcome home!

It’s indeed the name of a band

Fair

Quitted reddit during the great exodus and never came back (well of course apart from when a Google search leads me there for an [outdated] answer). Came to Lemmy, never looked back and never left since then. I plan on being here as long as there’s an instance standing.

Agreed

I’m not sure that’s true, but I understand how it could lead to this conclusion. My personal stance on the matter would be : do as you please as long as you don’t harm others.

I can understand your reaction, but I suppose that as long as I don’t bother people and devs with my preferences, it might be ok.

OP edited!

Maybe. I’m not a native English writer so it may not have sounded like I wanted. I just find this curious, but I’m not in pain because of that.

Yeah, but that’s an interesting thing to talk about I think.

My gf always creates characters looking as closely as possible to her. I do the exact opposite. What’s funny is that… she lacks self confidence and I do not. So it’s not about that. I suppose it’s something else that determines us that way. I have an idea, but I wanted others opinions.

Well, it depends. I’d skip games I’m mildly interested in, yes. And yes, it means most games. Well strangely enough it may depend on the game, LoL or other MOBAs, for example, I don’t mind the gender of my character.

But yes, I may have in common with those people the tendency to skip some games, but it stops here. The main difference being I’m not going to annoy anyone or cry on steam boards because of my personal preferences.

Well, as a sociology teacher working with psychologists in my current research I get why they decide this.

Politicians like them can’t rule over people even slighty aware of how political discourse and mass manipulation operate.
