2019 is so fucked i keep trying to google “feminist quotes on marriage” and “feminist quotes on being a wife” etc and 99.99% of the results are articles titled like “Yes, You Can be a Feminist and Still Love Being a Wife” and “20 Feminist Quotes About Marriage You Need to Read Right Now” and then you click the listicle and no lie it starts off with one audre lorde quote taken completely out of context and is followed by ones by john green, joss whedon, and ian somerhalder. Empowerment culture has given everyone brain worms and the only people who Get It are tween girls on tumblr who say stuff like “i want to shed my skin and eat dirt”

A-MA-ZING

Actual text from my sister when Katelyn debuted this “Holy shit. Katelyn Ohashi’s routine this year.”

College, and specifically UCLA, gymnastics seems like such a fun and encouraging place. I love how she’s genuinely smiling throughout the entire video and how her teammates are cheering her on and truly loving and supporting her throughout her routine. I hope we can get more of this in sports!

My favourite thing is the fact her team mates do parts of the routine with her. It’s so cute. And I love her

Some of y'all haven’t put 200+ hours into a game romping and romancing your way through ancient Greece as a badass queer mercenary only to end up in a forced heterosexual relationship with a baby, so you can “grow up” and it really shows.

My two cents: Look, I’m not burning my AC: Odyssey, but I’m certainly not interested in finishing this DLC and feel like I wasted my money. Bottom line, this is disingenuous on Ubisoft’s part. This game’s success has been about the choices and consequences and to take that from players at the end is a real kick in the gut and it wasn’t necessary.

And don’t give me the “bloodlines” speech. This isn’t about bloodlines. As far as continuity is concerned, the animus can be used by anyone. There’s no real impetus to continue the line unless (as someone else said) Desmond or Layla or Aveline or Edward or somebody is a direct descendant of Kassandra.

In the end, I as gamer who chose to play Kassandra as a lesbian, I got played. If you played Alexios as gay you got played. And if you played as bi or straight you still had your choice taken from you. Reading comments and responses is exposing people’s privileges and it’s too hard to make y'all get the point because you’ve never been marginalized. There were other options. The Atlantis storyline takes away any rush to have a child (and least of all with Nut-tacos) and quite frankly having a kid in the middle of a war seems crazy town. Kassandra seems smarter than that.

Anyway, AC is one of my favorite franchises and I’ve been singing the praises of this game for months. At this point, I’m telling folks to not bother with the DLC. This development was unnecessary and I’d really like someone to make it make sense.

End rant. Big sigh. Peace and soul grease.

Really well put. I just submitted this as a story to Polygon. Maybe some miracle would happen and they’d take it up. I just need Ubisoft to know they fucked up because I’m really not sure they do.

All right so I think I’ve already ranted about this whole thing, but since the second part of the DLC simply proved to be even worse than I’ve feared in terms of choice, I’ll rant again.
It happened - we can’t change it, no unicorn is going to fart and make it all magically disappear. Ubisoft got their money and the players, once again, got played.
But I refuse to just accept it and move on. This thing needs discussion because it’s important. Just as OP said, whatever sexuality you were striving for for your MC, you got played (yes, the straights too, whether or not they see it). And I have to stress this a lot, because I’ve seen a lot of shitposting against people who complained - the sexuality of the player is NOT. IMPORTANT.
If you’re straight, you should be pissed. If you’re bi, you should be pissed. If you’re lesbian and you played lesbian!Kassandra, you should be SUPER pissed. The whole idea of Odyssey was about choosing. The franchise has literally delved deep into RPG structure to make this happen, to make the sexuality narrative work. And in the end we got a cold shower of Ubisoft’s decade long macho-sexist treatment that caters to a  certain population of their audience.
Not to mention that the stuff this DLC evokes with the queer community is horrifying. You can read it on reddit . You thought conversion therapy is almost a thing of the past? You’re wrong. It’s being filtered and masked through popular culture in ways like this. It’s not exaggeration to state the obvious. It’s not selfish to criticise. The franchise also belongs to you, the player, because you are the main reason it’s happening. It’s not just a corporation and a bunch of game designers - the sould of it is you, the queer person who got a heternormative bitchslap.
The world didn’t change because people just accepted something and complied. It changes because people had the guts to raise their voice and say fuck this shit.

Four rich fathers go golfing.

One of them stays behind to pay the bill and the other three proceed to the first hole. While golfing, the three fathers start bragging about their sons.

The first father says, “I am very proud of my son Arthur; he is my pride and joy. He started working at a very successful company at the bottom of the barrel and now he is at the top!  He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes Benz for his birthday.”

The second fathers says, “My son Ivan is also my pride and joy, I am very proud of him. He went to flight school to become a pilot and managed to become a partner in the company where he now owns the majority of the assets. He became so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday.”

The third father says, “Well, well, well - congratulations! My son, Ludwig, is also my pride and joy and is also very rich. He became an engineer. He started his own construction company and became very successful and a multimillionaire. He built a mansion especially for his best friend.”

Then the fourth father catches up and they ask him how his son is doing.

The fourth father replies, “Oh, my son Alfred is gay and he makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub.”

The three friends shake their heads and say, “What a shame, you must be so unhappy! How tragic.”

The fourth father replies with a bright smile, “Oh no, I am not ashamed at all! Alfred is my son and I love him just as well; he’s my pride and joy. And he is much loved by his friends too. Did you know that his birthday just passed and the other day he received a Mercedes Benz, a brand new jet and a huge mansion from his three suitors?”

Reblog to support proud father and his sugar baby gay son.
