So anyway about PlayStation....

I like playstation!

I may have fallen victim to the Pro hype, but I'm going to wait till gamestop has them so I can use the massive store credit I have there, and hopefully trade in my current 5 as well, so I would end up getting it for essentially no additional cost. I also broke the SSD attachments when I attempted to add one and broke it (please dont ask, Im even in IT and already feel incredibly stupid for it) and would like to have more than the 600 usable you get on the launch units.

So?

So....I answered the question?

Edit: To expand, I view it as normalizing something that I think harms kids' development. Seeing it and thinking it as a viable option that I believe will cause them more pain than other options.

You're right. 

Time to end the conversation.

Get over yourself and stop being a terf. Educate yourself. And I'm done talking about it

Ha! "Get over yourself". Get over what exactly? Doing research that shows the suicide rates of teens skyrockets the more they transition? Or only educate myself on things that agree with what you think?

Nothing is proven either way right now. To try and belittle someone for falling on one side of the evidence is ugly behavior. I dont hate anyone, but you are showing your colors.

What exactly about Concord was "pushing a pro-trans agenda"? 

One character WAS trans, others had they/them pronouns, others "undecided". 

There's no trans character in Concord and only one uses "They/Them" pronouns.

I believe the name "Bazz" was. The voice actor is also trans and confirmed the character was as well.

Limited Run Games delivered my Contra Galuga. I rarely do impulse buys and this is why. I loved Contra as a kid. I love run-n-guns and top-down shooters. Neo on PS2 was great! Uprising was cool. Rogue Corps was a giant pile of shit. This game is not terrible. It's just ok. Bland. It's still a letdown. I'm sending a box of baseball stuff to a good friend and may just throw this game in there for him. Probably should give up on the idea of Contra games being good again. At least remaster the PS2 games now.

You have it backwards. 

Higher acceptance leads to lower suicide rates. 

More trans teens attempted suicide after states passed anti-trans laws, a study shows

I'm not aware of anything in the game that confirms this to be the case. 

And again, this is off topic. Time to drop the subject.

I agree its time to drop the subject. All I did is answer questions that were asked. I believe the things you linked to above have other sides, but I'm with you that I'd rather drop it and just talk games. We love games. A lot more than talking about these kinds of subjects.
