    I used to work demo tables at a convention every year, as the company would pay for people’s convention costs in exchange for 14 hours of volunteer work over the course of 5 days.

    I decided after the first year that I would be volunteering my time overnight, instead of during the day. They ran after-hours games until 2am, and I usually stayed until 4am to run some more. We usually had about 100-150 people at 10pm, dwindling to about 20 by 4am.

    By the end of the night, the temperatures inside are around 60, and nobody is sweating. It’s fantastic.

    I also decided to start getting dollar store deodorants, the little travel size ones, and leaving them out with some baby wipes with a sign that says something along the lines of “NO JUDGEMENT, EVERYONE FORGETS SOME TIMES, TAKE ONE” With a little picture of “wipe pits, apply deodorant” underneath.

    Every year, about half the deodorants have been claimed.

    Sure it’s like $20 extra if I get things on sale, but it’s a small price to pay for not having to smell Convention Stank.

    And when my job is literally to walk around a big circle of 10-30 people, most of whom have been walking around since before noon in a hot dealer hall, walking through a wall of “Cool Breeze” is so much less unpleasant than BO.





  • She called the Asian girl “ching chong”, she called one of the few black people in it “shackle bolt”, and she might as well have called the Irish kid “Irish O’Carbomb” given his name an propensity for unintentionally setting things on fire.

    Don’t even get me started on the goblins.

    She straight up admitted lycanthropy is HIV, and all werewolves are interested j is spreading their disease by attacking anyone nearby, one werewolf specifically targets children, if I remember correctly.

    The only gay characters I am aware of, one is a villain, and the other other is “one of the good ones” who never acted on it after a point and just stayed a celibate single.

    The only non-magical users in the magic world “squibs”, basically disabled people, are portrayed as shitty humans. Every summer Harry got left with ms fig who was “a mad old lady”, and the school caretaker Filch, who is a sadist that welcomes umbridge with open arms, a parasite who latches on to whoever benefits him most.

    I’m sure there’s others I’ve never caught or thought about.

    Because men outclass women in almost any physical ability

    I have never heard this argument come out of someone who doesn’t look like a wet noodle could outclass them in physical ability. It’s always a keyboard warrior who hasn’t cooked a meal since the Kraft Mac he made in 9th grade when his parents left him alone one evening and wouldn’t know what the inside of a gym looks like if it weren’t in GTA.

    Motherfucker, I knew plenty of cis women who could easily out-class me in physical abilities and I was in the US military

    The only people who care what’s in the pants of the enlisted person beside them are pieces of shit who don’t deserve to be there. Focus on your fucking job, and stop fantasizing about their crotch.

    Not once did I ever wonder what a person was assigned at birth while I was in. They wouldn’t be there if they couldn’t physically do it.

    Nobody is lowering qualifications of military personnel because the individual is trans.
