  • Yeah, I get that, none of those games or movies really glorify that life because what’s to glorify really, but it’s just the constant exposure to the wanton violence of the game and people’s worst instincts kicking in. I don’t really have anything against the game or whatever, I will just be interested to see if it’s ever studied about how those games affect peoples attitude towards violence and might erode their ethics in some ways such as turning a blind eye to violence going on around them. Just thoughts anyways. I feel the same way about the Battlefield/Modern Warfare games and horror movies that are basically just torture porn with no redeeming social messages or anything. Anyways, I’m probably being way too serious for a game people use to blow off steam but it’s worth a discussion probably, for someone, sometime :P

    Alright crime simulator anyways, I dunno, I know it’s just a game and all but the glorification of all of that business just seems like not a super great thing right now considering we have a crime syndicate in charge of our country. It feels like a relic to me but maybe I’m just an optimist.






  • Other people have given much better advice, I am recently out as well but I just want to chime in and say that you’re not alone there and I have felt this way as I have gone through my own journey, I think this feeling may grow with the amount of time it takes to make your realization, you said it was 15 years that is quite a long time living as a straight person or asexual person. There is a book I found at the library which might be of interest to you it’s called Finally Out: Letting go of Living Straight, and it’s written by a doctor who didn’t realize they were gay until later in life (40s) and it goes through a lot of these doubts, it’s not about being trans in particular but the advice is still very applicable for all LGBTQIA+ peoples I think. Love and luck
