RPGnet's decay (TBP madness)

[Bunch]

To be fair there are women who can't get pregnant for various reasons.  So when your talking about abortion laws the actually ability to get pregnant is more specific than female.

But they're still genetically capable of having once had the potential to become pregnant.  If your vagina is due to the talents of a surgeon rather than because you were born with it, you'll *never* have the capability of becoming pregnant.

A woman whose womb is barren and a man who has surgery to turn his penis inside out and make it into a vagina are not the same.

No it isn't you doorknob.

In the same way that the existence of genetic disorders don't create a third sex, ONLY females can get pregnant, in the case of us humans ONLY Adult Human Females, which is the definition of?

WOMEN!

I wonder if that's the reason so many leftists want to have sex with children now instead of adults?  If males can be females but only adults can get pregnant, then I could easily see how their twisted logic can be saying "just have sex with boys dressed like girls." Explains a lot about their mental illness...

Pedophilia is baked into the fundational texts of leftism, as in the french philosophers. Ask Pundit or go watch the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters (they have one or two videos about it).

It's why the leftist German Government placed orphan children with KNOWN pedophiles to prevent German society from becoming Nazi again.

So is every other degeneracy, because to hold ANYTHING as sacred is a sign (to the leftist) that you're a crypto-fascist.

I am kind of at a loss here.

It appears to me that ahndrostalgan is pointing out that the solution to the problem of GenCon being in a 'regressive' (their view, mind you) state is not as simply as boycott/move elsewhere.

But because bcaugust54 is an incoherent moron who can't read, and can't stand that people might not march in lockstep with it, here comes the banhammer.

The mod in question did not understand the "sliver of attendees" aspect of that comment. The poster doesn't mean "women who can get pregnant are only a sliver of attendees." The poster was saying "the portion of attendees who can not just get pregnant, but who would actually get pregnant in that specific four day window during the convention, and who would want to abort that pregnancy which happened in those four days, and who would actually face difficulty in receiving that abortion because the conception happened in Indiana specifically (which is nearly impossible to prove)" is a "sliver" of total attendees.

Which of course it is. Of the FIFTY THOUSAND attendees, the number who could get pregnant is less than half, and of those the number who would get pregnant during that 4 day window is extremely small (like 1 or 2) and the number of THOSE who wanted to abort the pregnancy is likely 0 to 1, and the number of those who would have difficulty getting that abortion elsewhere because of Indiana laws is likely none. Because even if Indiana COULD prosecute for an abortion you got in a different state regarding a pregnancy conceived in their state (which itself is VERY VERY unlikely), there is about zero chance they could prove the conception happened in that four day window in their state.

So yeah, ZERO or at extreme most ONE is a "sliver" of 50,000 people.

Which of course it is.

Purely for twisted self-amusement value I took a pass through those numbers:

- Assuming 50,000 attendees, let's be generous and say 40% are (biological) women: 20,000.
- Assume 90% of those are within the likely childbearing ages of 18-45: 18,000.
- Assume 25% of those are in the roughly 7-day fertile period per month that covers that weekend: 4,500.
- Assume 50% of those are either accompanying a steady boyfriend to the con or have a heterosexual hookup while there: 2,250.
- Assume 10% of those have contraceptive failure of some type: 225.
- Assume only a quarter of those actually conceive, because even in absolutely optimum circumstances the chance of actual conception for any one individual act is only about 25%: 56 (rounding down).
- Assume that even in the highly anti-parental RPG hobby environment, at least 20% of the women who find themselves pregnant will want to keep the baby once they know: 45.

So while I don't think "0 to 1" is quite accurate, a percentage of less than 0.1% certainly qualifies as "a sliver". And, of course, it is more than likely that several of these estimates are over-generous, which means the reality would only be even lower.

Dude. It's a gaming convention. The only thing getting pregnant is the hotel hot tub, which will end up looking like a cup of egg drop soup.

Not gonna log in, but I imagine it's like social media has been over the past day. Paying respects sprinkled with various "progressives" doing some grave dancing.

They had to lock the thread down because of the performative outrage. I think the more Americans ignore the British royal family the better off we are, but the gravedancing over the death of a relatively benign figurehead is kind of bizarre.
