It’s not transphobic, not every criticism of anything trans is automatically transphobic, so you should educate yourself before making judgements on everyone else

A GCR is aa Game Created Region, so the Pacifics and the Sinker regions, which control a large chunk of the WA votes

Yeah we were talking about the ones that are and how fucking silly they are, in case you hadn't noticed.

Since, you know, this is the General forum, and not the World Assembly forum, where voting and game related stuff is talked about.

Thank You!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the endorsement! I wasn't expecting it but it really means a lot to me. If any of you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send me a TG or put them here. I'm getting a lot of people coming to me right now so it might be best to TG me instead.

That said, I have to run, so I hope all of you have a wonderful election!

Just found out my trans friend is at hospital with CoVID19. Don’t know yet how serious her case is. I hope it’s not bad and she’ll be discharged soon but her mom didn’t specify. She was admitted two days ago. I’m worried.

That's a lot of my issue with the WA as it is. There's minimal representation beyond GCRs and a lot of the candidates who have thrown their hats into the ring come from the same old cliques. They're good at what they do but darn do they make the US Congress look dynamic and interesting sometimes.

Stop trying to make me support her. Actually, if she's a raider, I probably know her.


I actually used to be pretty hardcore anti-raider, but I know some fairly big names in the raider community, and one of our longtime regulars is a raider.

Like, I think the entire R/D dynamic should be altered, but a lot of the big raider groups are pretty affirming and respectful of LGBT people, and the raider community often raids the literal Nazi regions, and they have to be applauded for both of those things.

MMhm, and just tossing around transphobic slurs and rhetoric is 'just normal banter', amirite? You can not want Trans Catgirls to be GenSec while not being transphobic about it. But there is a lot of overlap (far too much, in fact) between the two.

Farn asked me to change the title since campaigning isn't allowed in NSG, but I am endorsing them, and encourage others to do the same. And while campaigning isn't allowed in NSG, I see no reason why we can't use this space to discuss the attitudes towards trans people on NS.

Thanks, Gren. So do I. My main concern is that she’s taking meds that change her heart rhythm and she also has allergies. Other than that, she’s in good health. I just hope is a quick stay. Her mom said she’ll keep us posted.

In the past I've been in small regions that got absolutely destroyed by raiders (no risk of that anymore), so my opinion on any raiders is overwhelmingly negative. Details are rather immaterial.

I spoke to the person behind Trans Anarcho-Communist Lesbian Catgirls and it turns out she was actually one of my old raiding buddies, which has, more or less, clinched my support. The organization we raided with was apolitical but a lot of its members participated independently in operations with Antifa. Nazi regions make easy targets generally because the fendas don't leap to their defense. Anyhow, I should probably stop rambling before this becomes a thread-jack.

There is no THE Leader of Antifa. He is a prominent Anti-Fascist and a retired Admiral of The Red Fleet which is responsible for bashing many of the largest fascist regions on nationstates.
