another realisation about saiyuki: this is probably what prepared me for getting into borderlands isnt it?

no wait, you have to explain this. I am genuinely interested. 🙂 

I’m sorry if this is disappointing cause it’s just me going ‘idk they feel similar’ :)(also don’t know how much you know about borderlands)

I think specifically the world they are in feels similar in certain ways and the tone of the two things feels vaguely congruent. Both settings have that like schizo tech crapsake world kind of quality and/or both involve quite a lot of killing people in desert/wasteland setting – the ascetic is similar as well as the qualities of the world. The first borderlands game particularly has that traveling and coming across settlements who need protection/power/various things thing going on.

They’ve also both got this half of its kinda of ridiculous and over the top and half of its really intense and sad quality

Idk that probably doesn’t make a lot of sense. I feel like a game of saiyuki in the style of borderlands (though probably not an fps) would work pretty well though.

If you aren’t cisgender heteroromantic heterosexual, you belong in the queer community. I’m sick of seeing this bullshit “you aren’t queer enough” sort of community policing.

And by “cisgender heteroromantic heterosexual” I mean ALL THREE of those things.

Are you a trans (binary or nonbinary) person who is heteroromantic heterosexual? You belong in the LGBTA+ community.

Are you a cis person who is heteroromantic asexual? You belong.

Are you a cis person who is heterosexual aromantic? You belong.

Are you a cis bisexual who is currently dating a cis member of the opposite gender? You belong.

Are you an intersex individual who otherwise is heteroromantic heterosexual? You belong.

Stop trying to alienate people based on some fucked-up “level of queerness”. There are enough problems in the LGBTA+ community without people being exclusive.

being intersex does not in and of itself make you not cisgender so you can be all three of heteroromantic heterosexual and cisgender and if you are also intersex you would still be part of the LGBT+ community (should you wish too be)

(you can also be trans and intersex obviously, but the conflation of being intersex with being trans or with not being cisgender is a problem and people need to not do it)
