Not really. Up until now the anti-trans trolls defending her have been able to ask to see which transphobic comments Rowling has made, giving them the facade of respectability by pretending that they just haven't seen her objectionable comments. Now though there's just so much out there that they've given up the facade and admit what they believed all along which is that 'transphobic' doesn't exist as a concept and thus Rowling can't have said anything transphobic.

It's a new phase of the hate spiral. Now they can't pretend to be the respectable ones any more. Further increased radicalization and explicit calls for anti-trans discrimination are where we go from here.
Indeed. She had been careful in the past. It's been part of this whole sordid affair how "above" she kept herself from engaging in the coarser language while being content to let the less celebrity of the anti-trans movement get absolutely vile.

This is what a publicist would call an "oopsy woopsy, just a little fucky wucky".

Well the folks who say "Name one thing Rowling said that is transphobic" having a harder time of it day by day.

Of course, now they'll move on to "Yes she's transphobic and I'm glad she is".

Yeah I'm just getting to this now but it's quite the ride. Like we start at Twilight sure, but then the scope is widened to all romance literature, what it means/has meant for the author, what it means/has meant for the reader, and its place in the greater issue of feminism.

Well, that depends. Are we merely translating, or localizing, which is the actual process involved when it comes to foreign media?
Whoa whoa careful with the L-word bro that's a dirty word in some circles.

But don't worry bro, AI will totally get the cultural nuances just right and make it perfectly understandable to the right people.

I understand using it as a tool for translations. An actual human translator should look over the AIs translation.

As someone who does writing, I don't want to be correcting someone else's work. I'd rather produce my own from the ground up. This stifles the creative process.

And even if it didn't, a human needs to make sure it isn't crap, anyway. Just have the human do it.

TopicAmerican Psychology Assoc. passes policy for support of trans care.
CyricZ
02/28/24 11:28:35 PM

https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/worlds-largest-psych-association

Their policy states:

  • Gender affirming medical care is medically necessary - the APA underscores the necessity for access to comprehensive, gender-affirming healthcare for transgender, gender-diverse, and nonbinary children, adolescents, and adults
  • The organization opposes bans on gender affirming care - the APA opposes state bans on gender-affirming care, which are contrary to the principles of evidence-based healthcare, human rights, and social justice, and which should be reconsidered in favor of policies that prioritize the well-being and autonomy of transgender, gender-diverse, and nonbinary individuals
  • Being trans is not caused by autism or post-traumatic stress - legislative efforts to restrict access to care have involved the dissemination of misleading and unfounded narratives (e.g., mischaracterizing gender dysphoria as a manifestation of traumatic stress or neurodivergence, and equating affirming care for transgender, gender-diverse, and nonbinary youth with child abuse), creating a distorted perception of the psychological and medical support necessary for these youth and creating a hostile environment that adversely affects their mental health and wellbeing.
  • False information on trans care needs to be combatted - APA supports efforts to address and rectify the dissemination of false information to ensure the well-being and dignity of transgender, gender-diverse, and nonbinary individuals
  • Discrimination, non-affirmation, and rejection risks suicide - gender-based bias and mistreatment (e.g., discrimination, violence, non-affirmation, or rejection in response to gender diversity) pose significant harm, including risk of suicide, to the well-being of children, adolescents, adults, and families.


Not that this is legally binding in any way, but this is one of the most unilateral and far-reaching official notes of support yet from a psychological organization.

I remember some time in the late aughts when I got on a wiki for the Quest for Glory series. I wanted to include some tips in particular articles in addition to the lore of the character/location/etc. and the administrator came back to me that wasn't the point of the wiki.

Which is to say, wikis may have the advantage of communal attention, but there's no dang way to QC it and once you're dealing with other people, disagreements over the content can get heated.

Mortal Kombat 1 is an example of a game that didn't have a guide.
Fighting games are actually a great example of a more visual style of guide that lends itself better to video output, since not only do you have to know how to "do the moves" but also when to do them and what doing the moves ultimately looks like when they succeed.

We have plenty of guides on this site for older fighting games (pre-YT) and they're all extremely limited in that they can only give you so much information without knowing what the reader's specific problem might be. They can tell you the button inputs for moves, maybe give you some use cases or matchups, but that won't be examining the flow of the battle and the tendencies of your opponents. That can only be learned through experience or by watching other people play the game.

Part of it is games are just designed differently these days making text guides less useful for most casual gamers.
Text guides have long been of limited use in games that rely on a lot of visual output and requiring the player to react to that output in a timely manner. Or to put that more simply, it's hard to tell someone how to FPS good.

Any game can have a text guide written for it if the writer is good enough at writing and the questions the reader has are answered.

Maybe I need to be clearer. I am talking about a Game being released in 2023 and 2024 having no guides. I am not talking about older games having guides and the traffic to that.
I feel this changes the question as different than what the topic title suggests.

If your question is "are fewer guides being written for modern games on this site than in the past", then the answer is a pretty clear "yes".

But that fact has little to do with the site's survivability.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I would not trust it to be accurate.

The game guides could be auto-generated with an AI and have the power users (Cyric, etc.) review them and fill in the gaps.
Please God no. I would still have to play the games to confirm every bit of information is correct. At that point, the difference between me just doing the writing myself is academic.
