It’s weird that most people don’t pretend to be the other gender online, honestly.
Eh, there’s still existing gender conformity rules (though more for men than for women) saying not to do it, plus I think a lot more people are vaguely comfortable in their gender roles than they let on.
Not that I don’t recommend it. I have many faces, and I like to let people assume.
If you end up being the person running the @argumate account, I am going to be livid.
We are all running the Argumate account, ShieldFoss. The steady and unrestrained stream of anons assures that the Argumate blog is a democratic and participatory process.

Warriors are not born. Warriors are forged.
I, too, was made in a factory. I feel ya, man.
mit I think there’s a difference between “forged” and “mass-produced”
Oh, right, that’s that old-timey thing with blacksmiths, right?
OP is artisanal? Very cool. It’s almost like having a biological father!

Making the simple complicated is commonplace. Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can play weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.

I feel like this is a callout post just waiting to find me.
I still want to write a story about a God of Commerce coming into existence and revolutionising the economy of gods, prayers, and worshippers.
Balderdash! The prayer market regulates itself!
With a limited pantheon it can become an oligopoly or cartel!
Okay, but who is the deity of the State?

Now we’re bordering on NationStates.net territory, my dear Anon.
I, for one, back the Techno-Principality of Greater Rock Springs.
Their combination of Neoreactionary, Demi-Confucian, Muskian, and PAP principles, fused with a synthetic Sino-Japano-Anime-American metaculture and corporate backing practically assures their success against the bio-primitivists and the Communist Block.

Ok but what’s the fourth group?
There are fifty groups, it’s just that they put all the authoritarian leftists in the upper left corner of the territory and all the ones that allied with each other formed a rectangle - a “Communist Block.”
The bioprims are doomed tbh.
Have you ever met someone on the internet that you liked so much that you sometimes sit there and think “Oh man there are people who are lucky enough to see this person IN THE FLESH ON A REGULAR BASIS and I wonder if they realize how LUCKY they are”
Ah, but the people that know me IRL don’t know I’m the person that I am online, where I can safely have fewer social boundaries and present myself however I want, and filter my thoughts through text.
The trick’s on you, dear readers! The grey-skinned cyborg you imagine dutifully making these posts while in Union Army cosplay does not exist!
