If we just asked Jeeves in the first place we wouldn't be in this mess.

Naw dude is just inherently sketchy. His mannerisms and way of talking are two big ones.

He's the kinda guy that gives reason to the existence of the concept of a face guy. Rossman is not a face guy.

R34 is basically all western, maybe you would be more interested in a booru full of anime tiddy instead.

Or the MSG website full of fur.

At least based on the actual psychology research on the topic, access to fictional material for masturbation purposes actually has shown to be the most effective method to prevent abusive urges and relapse.

Tho considering how hard it is to find funding and people willing to under go therapy it's a struggle to find reliable data.

There was one of the leading experts in the topic that did an ask me anything a few years back.

Reddit ended up banning her and nuking the thread due to the topic. But it had a lot of research shared in it that now is locked up behind pay walls and basically buried deep.

Your doing my a hecken concern. You ok over there? You appear to be having a uwu attack.

It's meant to be a story of accepting your heritage regardless of the fact they were horrific. Not blaming yourself for those sins, and doing your best regardless so you can leave that heritage in a better state for your children.

Remember DBZ was written by a Japanese man. For as much as DBZ is a silly shonen about muscular men beating each other to death and screaming.

It's also a story about honor, heritage, family, and self improvement.

Kakarot is very close to a case of finding out your adopted and your fathers last name was Hitler.

Realizing you arnt like your father, improving yourself and making a fresh clean start to the name. So both your adoptive family and your blood families name are honorable and clean.

And that your kids will be proud to share a name with a good man, for he proves that we are all masters of our own density and actions. That your forefathers do not define you.

Kakarot isn't Goku's dead name, it's not a name he's leaving behind. It's Goku non acceptance of the name early on because of his connection to bad things.

He does eventually become proud of the name and embraces entirely of his own will.

The story of the name kakarot is as much Vegetas and his connection and undying pride to his heritage.

As much as it's Goku's and his learning to accept what his heritage is, his redefining of it with Vegeta into something good instead of bad.

And the heritage he then goes to leave for his children.

Comparing the story of the name kakarot and what it represents to deadnaming is a pretty wild misunderstanding of what toriyama played out over the years.

Gotta remember this is a story about martial arts written by a Japanese man. Heritage, acceptance and not blaming yourself for the sins of your ancestors are all major themes at play.

Deadnaming while it might on the surface have some cross over. It very much not really at play here in anyway that would be a good faith example.

Goku does actually eventually come around to kakarot and embraces his heritage. He never lets it define him tho like other sayaijin try to force him to believe.

It's not entirely dead naming if anything that's the least of it and more him originally not accepting that he must be a murder hobo just because that's "who he is ment to be". He refuses the ideal and the name kakarot is to him what represents that. Cause originally the only people he associates with that name killed him, his friends and hurt his family.

Remember Goku didn't choose to give up the name, he was given it by Vegeta basically. It wasn't something he was trying to to leave behind but something he was refusing to accept.

But over the years the sayaijin of earth redefine what it means to be sayaijin and that's when he starts accepting it. No longer telling people that isn't his name when they use it.

Even using it himself depending on context. Kakarot becomes a name eventually he's proud of as he grows. A name that represents a strong will, and fighting spirit. While Goku continues to be his family name and his connection to his grandfather.

Goku and kakarot are two different facets of the same person.

The story of the name kakarot is a story of accepting your heritage, learning to not blame yourself for the sins of your father and that you can always redefine what it means. A name is what you make of it, and letting it rest dead means that you were not strong enough of will and honor to move on and make it your own.

And no one should allow shame, and external pressure take away from them their name, their heritage and their honor. Your deeds are your own let no one else define you by their own word and actions. You should always take what your ancestors left for you and leave it in a better state for the next generation. So that they may be proud of who came before them, and build onto a foundation as sturdy as rock.

Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama.

Your confusing gender(social) with sex(biological) due to the common usage of male being used in both (social) and (biological) cases.

Castration is always the removal from a male because it's talking about sex(biological) as defined by the reproductive organs the physical presence there in.

Wether or not an entity is transgender(social) or (biological) has no barring on the biological in this instance.

Bottom surgery would be the correction of physical flesh, from one reproductive organs to the other. Functional or not not withstanding.

It would be scientifically accurate to say "you castrate a male(biological) that presents female(social) in the process of correcting the biological presentation to align with the chosen social presentation".

Such a person would be accurately termed both male and female depending on the context, being social, biological, or medical. As all three can vary depending on the person's own choice, nature and medical history.

Medical tho depending on what field your in may be the same or different then biological. So that context gets used much less as a standalone.

But it would be impossible to castrate a female(biological) as the physical flesh that the term is in refences to physically does not exist.

Words have multiable meanings, please be careful when you are using homonyms. It can be INCREDIBLY important, and is the leading cause to almost every argument around gender.

People really REALLY need to pay attention to homonyms.

Biology is pretty much trinary. Male or female as a baseline and is mostly modified into functional/nonfunctional aspects for the purpose of reproduction. Or hermaphroditic and then again functional/nonfunctional. Biology is rather bland and sterile in terminology and doesn't much care about anything else.

Social terminology is where the spectrum is as it's a construct around role, view, and self presentation. Has changed various times though out history and culture.

Medical is the fun one, as depending on the field of study in question it varies insanely in terms of use. Tho it's typically God damn important to be very exact with it cause uhh... hopefully obvious reasons.

While I don't care either way really. I can say iv literally never seen a closed species that was legally enforceable per the way the creator wants it to be or a single creator of one that didn't violate basically every copyright law and fair use law possible in an effort to enforce it.

About the closest closed species I can think of is hobbits from LOTR and the whole kerfuffle with WOTC creating halfling. Even then it wasn't over the appearance, traits, design, it was just the name and the fact it was commerical.

While the joke is furries are always in IT, they sure aren't lawyers.

Uhh... Unless it's 1993 again install drivers on windows is automatic in 99% of cases and catching a virus from install drivers would honestly be a feat of Herculean impressiveness.

So that would be easier honestly.

Like the only time it's easier to install a driver compared to windows is if it comes preinstalled with the kernel/os.

It's one of the few things windows does really REALLY well.

The problem with drivers on windows nowadays is uninstalling them cleanly is near impossible. Damn well near impossible. But most people rarely need to uninstall a driver.

The way retard has changed over the years is wild to me. Cause around me there are large communities of people with mental and physical disabilities who aggressively try to tell people that they are infact retarded. It's the word they grew up with and are fighting tooth and nail to keep it from turning into a slur. Even tho it's been used as one against those very people for years.

It's such a weird thing to watch from the side line. Makes me wonder if this is what it was like during the rise of rap and the n word.

Tho it's also getting to the point there's so many letter-slurs that it's getting stupid. At some point feels like we are going to have to either just stop caring and accept that intentions matter more then the words them self. Else we are goanna run out of letters to describe slurs.

Makes it very hard to have meaningful discourse around the topic. To be fair the fear of bans, and punishment for even saying some words regardless of context or topic also just makes it very iffy to talk about this topic in many places.

Hell iv seen people banned on etymology fourms and subs because someone said a "letter" slur with in the context of explaining the origin of the word. It's crazy what the internet has become recently.
