wow players having to stand in lines for a quest because a relevant npc can only talk to one player at a time. is the funniest image on the planet
i need to correct this: wow classic doesn’t have any npcs that can only talk to one player at a time. these lines actually formed for a quest npc that players had to kill to complete the objective. knowing that i think this image is even funnier.
There was a moral panic over the increasing number of openly trans women in 1950s-60s Japan. The so-called “blue boy boom” stirred concerns among the leading conservatives, eventually resulting in a surgery ban from 1969-1998. Like today, limiting care made life much more difficult for trans people.
Japan’s 30-year ban on gender-affirming surgery is a great example of why making healthcare illegal doesn’t work. It not only pushed surgery underground and abroad but also forced many trans people into sex work they did not want to partake in. Trans people still continued to exist.
if i lived a few thousand years ago i would be hailed as a seer or a prophet because of my ability to fear things before they happen. nowadays they just put you on prozac and disregard your visions
