The more i ruminate on it, the more i’m against anything i make being used by militaries and suppressive regimes.
I don’t want to contribute to other people’s suffering.
One way to make a stand, is to explicitly disallow those entities in something like a software license.
A few examples from years ago :
U.S. Navy turns to Linux to run its drone fleet
U.S. military UAVs migrate to Linux
The Linux transition in the US military has existed and is still ongoing.
Imagine contributing to a FOSS project and then having your work contribute to deaths in your own country by a foreign adversary, like the United States and its Department of War.

Tengu@snug.moeThe way people look down on immigrants for not speaking their language perfectly.
Echoes the way neurodivergent people mock neurotypical people for the way they speak.
Both are elitist and supremacist.
That our way of speaking is superior and we don’t need to be flexible or accommodate the way we talk to other people to be better understood.
Communication is a highly valuable skill, it can be learned.
This attitude is really throwing our hands in the air and saying ‘we won‘, when it’s not a competition.

im always bothered when someone suggests a book/movie/form of media to me with one of the reasons for recommendation being “it has a trans character with a good reason for being trans.” i find the negative form to be more honest, “this trans character has no reason to be trans” (suggesting that this is a bad thing).
to be generous, i think in many cases this should be translated as “this trans character is poorly handled/written” and to that, yeah, i feel you. a lot of popular media mishandles trans stories. and if you say the former and mean the latter, i implore you to change your wording.
fictional characters don’t exist in a vacuum and have a push/pull with reality. we look to fictional representations for understanding, for inspiration, and as role models. stories codify/reinforce cultural understanding and ethics. i don’t like the implication that minorities need a reason to exist. instead of asking, “why?” when faced with a minority character, i believe the default reaction should be “why not?”

How I defeated node_modules with the power of love
Chapter 1, the power of love.
The first step of my journey was realising that it is impossible to defeat node_modules with the power of love.
Chapter 2, the power of incredible violence

for anyone who thinks that this character is not sexualized, and that I’m the one sexualizing her, here’s the dev’s description of their own game:
Expect some revealing outfits, occasional mildly erotic animations, and some infrequent innuendo in conversation, with implicit undercurrents of sadism and masochism.
Fennel is absolutely meant to be thirsted after

@revoluciana @kimlockhartga Tolkien himself thought about this and regretted his portrayal of the orcs in the end:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolkien%27s_moral_dilemma
The entire idea of "racial alignments" is subconsciously satisfying to imperial/colonist cultures because it echoes the same colonialist mythos that justifies living on/benefiting from stolen land. Once you see it, it's super uncomfortable, and since it caught on so broadly, it's everywhere.
Why is it okay to sneak up on and preemptively execute Ganon's minions in Breath of the Wild? "They're invaders, and evil, right?" Well, that's the Hylian story. But they clearly have cultures (no coincidence borrowing aesthetics from real human cultures considered "primitive" and colonized in the real world). Several areas of the world are even pretty clearly their homelands, whatever we might claim about central Hyrule. It's okay to show up and murder them all with no warning because "they'd attack me without warning if they saw me first?" Okay, but you're a known serial killer who stalks and kills on sight, of course they'd attack you. That logic works both ways.
The parallels with the Pope declaring all regions not in Europe okay to colonize because they were only inhabited by "infidels" and "pagans" (who were okay to enslave, even) are strong.
