Only you, it seems. First I have seen this assertion.

I could go into depth on why it's an engine, but you seem to have already made your mind up and are going to stick with it regardless.

Edit: Actually, I'll leave it up to the Minetest project.... "Minetest is an open source voxel game engine with easy modding and game creation" - https://github.com/minetest/minetest

I really like MineClone2 (a Minetest game).

Appreciate the context. I almost deleted this as it felt pretty low value, or a meme. It wasn't clear what the point of it was. In future, please provide a bit more context.

You cannot play default minetest without a game. It comes installed with minetest game (which is a crappy game and more of a modding base). Delete it and see if you can play, yeah?

What is wc3 and hl?

I appreciate you took that feedback on board.

It may be a very normal headline, but it is pretty inaccurate. An accurate title would be "anti-trans sentiment high, but higher amongst cis-males". Even "anti-trans sentiment higher amongst cis-males" would be less galling.

"driving" "hostility" implies that cis men are actively pushing to make it worse. If anything, right-wingers pushing culture wars are driving it. Maybe men are falling for those tricks more.

If the community is growing, many will not know much about past content or the purpose of the community and any new post could be a first impression. Assuming past knowledge isn't always a good idea.

"You absolutely could have lead with this". You respond to the quality of information you get. The headline was clickbait rubbish, and yes it is triggering (because it is laced in prejudice). I think one of the worse problems as a man, is you're regularly blamed for the sins of all other men, even if you are absolutely opposed to that. Being stereotyped based on your gender is not fun, and I think everyone needs to move away from that.

I think if you wanted to discuss the contents of it, you were better off changing the title and warning of the clickbaity cheap title. High brow titles don't usually warrant low brow and nuanced responses.

I'm not going to simplify it's just women. There are a number of high profile anti-trans women campaigners that are absolutely a problem. With that, I'm sure there are many male public figures who are just as toxic.

I think it's very easy to assume a lot of this comes from bad intentions, and some of it will. I think some of this may be somewhat innocent, but ultimately unhelpful. For example, cis males may be protective of their partners and daughters, and may be concerned because the risks have often been misrepresented, for example in the case of bathroom sharing. Obviously this is paternalistic, and many would construe this as patronising. Many women are confident and don't see that issue, and don't feel they need that protection. My feeling is part of this may come from a good place, intentions wise, but be completely misguided, and open to negative influence from people who are peddling negative and toxic views. I think this problem is quite complex, and as a result any one single approach will not work to solve the problem.

Edit: I noticed my other post got deleted. It seems ok to insinuate something about my motives, but when I reasonably respond and ask them same question, it's censored and mod powers are used without hesitation. I don't think rich debate can be had here and it's not a place I want to be part of.

"If you are not certain why it is notable that men are the drivers of transphobia in this instance it is because most of the transphobic rhetoric in the country relies on claims of protecting women’s rights and spaces."

Are you from the UK? Are you aware of the stuff JK Rowling puts out? Did you follow the Tory leadership and the anti-trans views put by Suella Braverman and Kemi Badenoch? Not familiar with Rosie Duffield's anti-trans nonsense?

I understand it's more digestible to boil down complex issues to simple conclusions, but it weakens and cheapens the debate and serves no benefit in tackling issues.

Edit: Title has fortunately been changed from the original clickbaity and somewhat misleading/offensive title it originally had.

Why is this being shared here? Anti-trans folk are toxic. There are many toxic women and men, and we should dislike them for their views, not who they are. I've fallen out with anti-trans friends, but I'm a cis-male so I guess I'm the problem?

I was curious about this community, but I think I'll be leaving if this "feminist" "Men's Liberation" community is for bashing men. Would have expected better from a mod.

Rule 9 is against "Negative stereotyping", surely this is a breach of that. This article takes some folk, makes a generalisation for the whole population. If you flipped groupings, it would be wholly wrong, and it's wrong here.

Roblox isn't a game. Minetest is an engine (providing it's own APIs that game developers use to develop games), and a platform to distribute them. In a sense, Minetest is like Unity or Godot. Games built on Minetest include MineClone2/5, Nodecore, Exile etc.
