Flannel was also a mainstay of butch lesbian fashion for a long time. So it really depends what kind of look you are going for, but it certainly does not accentuate curves in my own experience.

You and me, friend. I get teary-eyed every time I look at it, so I had to share it.

Change is hard (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 1 day ago by squirrel to c/femcelmemes

The artwork "Change is hard" is by Elisa Beli Borrelli

Description: The stylised artwork shows a person in a non-distinct room. There are several boxes on the floor, some opened, some taped shut. There are cracks in the wall. In front of the wall stands a mirror. A person stands in front of the mirror. The colours of the trans pride flag are running down their body. The blue color forms a big tear on their face.

The reflection in the mirror shows an entirely different room, all pink and neatly decorated. The reflection of the person leans out of the mirror. The reflection comforts the person in front of the mirror with an embrace.

Definitely, but I have to admit that probably anyone other than the Russo brothers could have done a better job.

I sure hope Simon Stalenhag got enough money for the rights, because his meditative book about the loss of humanity and the end of civilization getting turned into a Chris Pratt action vehicle makes my head hurt.

TBH as I haven't used them myself, so I don't know which ones can be recommended. The only other advise to give you in regards to breast forms: Once you start HRT, be careful to make sure that your own growing breasts have enough space to grow. Putting too much pressure on them and/or restricting them can be uncomfortable and may inhibit their growth.

Description: The picture shows an female presenting anime character in front of a trans pride flag in the background. She is holding up a sign that says: "You don't need a big list of reasons and past signs to be a valid trans person, just feeling better as a different gender than your birth one is enough <3"

Telling people in danger that their attempts to save themselves are contemptible is nothing but cynical callousness.

A little long maybe, I assume it won't be long until it's just "likensub".

George Lucas introduced evil guys wearing SS uniforms who conduct genocide before the viewers' eyes and somehow people still pretend that Star Wars is apolitical.

Because there are lots of people in this thread who paint whales as "rich schmucks" who can afford to spend $48k without thinking twic. This is a myth that lots of the gaming industry itself loves to perpetuate, because it absolves them of taking responsibility for ruining lives.

Research has shown repeatedly that whales are much more likely to be people with mental health problems and/or gambling addicts. That Star Citizen isn't a freemium game with loot boxes makes it marginally better than - let's say - Genshin Impact, but offers like the bundle in the article is still predatory.

They are totally right, it's a shame that PC Gamer did not name a single woman.

One nitpick though: Two of the women named in the article, Rieko Kodama and Amy Hennig, did not create games for PC. Both were employed by console makers. Jen Zee being acknowledged is certainly deserved, but a there are many, many trailblazing women in PC gaming which should be highlighted: Roberta Williams (co-founder of Sierra Online), Brenda Romero (Wizardry series), Jade Raymond (Assassin's Creed producer) or Danielle Bunten Berry (M.U.L.E.), just to name a few.

Particularly the omission of Roberta Williams who has not only co-founded one of early gaming's most successful game dev studios and publishers, but also designed the long-running King's Quest series which transformed and defined the adventure game genre, is inexcusable. It does not get more influential in gaming than that.

Ars Technica has done an interview with Unity's Marc Whitten and Whitten's responses are very, very telling:

"It was not our intent to nickel-and-dime it, but it came across that way," he said. [...]
"A large part of the problem, Whitten said, was that Unity "didn't communicate effectively... There were areas where there was some confusion, and we could have done a better job." [...]
"That's on us," he continued. "We didn't do a good enough job... of delivering the information that would help people."

It shows how dishonest he still is: Of course, they wanted to nickel-and-dime everything. People were not "confused", they were outraged. No matter how much of a mess Unity's initial explanations of the details were, the core message was pretty clear: Unity was aiming to get as much money out of developers as it can and it did neither bother to iron out the details of the changes, nor assess the potential damage their plans could do.

Rumours from inside Unity said that their own employees warned management, but managment saw a chance to make money and plowed ahead.

And going by Whitten's statements, they still want to hide behind meaningless corpo-speak and the same people who got their business into this mess now claim that they have changed their ways.
