The Entertainment Software Association, which represents the video game industry, said it told the president that “numerous scientific studies” show there is “no connection between video games and violence.”  In fact, Markey said his work shows when a new violent game is released, crime actually drops.

when a new violent game is released, crime actually drops.

CRIME ACTUALLY DROPS.

its almost as if giving people harmless outlets for their aggression allows people who use that outlet to vent safely as part of their coping process, imagine that. perhaps we should be encouraging people who need to vent that they should actually go vent instead of telling them that safe venting is socially unacceptable

this is similar to when people were blaming edgy music- listening to depressing songs will not cause depression nor cause someone to kill themselves, but listening to them while writing bad poetry and wearing stylish yet regrettable outfits may allow someone to work through an emotional time in their life better then listening to equally embarrassing in hindsight pop music

its entirely possible ‘Doom’ prevented someone with anger issues from killing someone, its entirely possible ‘suicide solution’ by ozzy has prevented suicides

let people have safe outlets for their emotions

I don’t care if I lose a thousand followers overnight, but if you think “tranny” or “shemale” are remotely acceptable ways to refer to a transgender person, please unfollow me.

The number of notes on this pleases both my ego and my fragile faith in humanity.

Adding on, “extra hole boy”, or “pussy boy” are equally abominable ways to refer to trans men.

Dont use Shim, shehe/heshe, chick with a dick d*ckgirl or c*ntboy either

and if you use “it” to dehumanize any trans person i will personally come to your house, break down your door, and piss on everything you own

‘Sissy’ and ‘trap’ are also utterly reprehensible…

Also if you call a trans woman futa I will kick your fucking teeth in

Please yes, im fucking sick of people looking at and consuming futinari culture and think that’s what we are

is it okay for a person who is not trans to reblog this?

Given the fact this is a legit list of words that trans people don’t want to be called/don’t want to hear, I hereby decree this post may be reblogged by everyone who wants to spread the word that these words are NOT ACCEPTABLE.
