Hello! I'm a nonbinary person who is in the process of making some Video Games. Right now I'm working on the character generation UI for an RPG and indexing as many genders as I can as a sort of middle finger to RPGs having only allowed binary genders for ages.
I'm working at it alone. Might look for some help on the art side eventually but I want to at least get my features complete and about a demo's length of playability before considering it.
I'm an artist, actually, so when you get to that point, feel free to poke me. Though it doesn't seem like imzy has a pm system. You can probably google my username to find me on deviantart though.
... I suddenly find myself amused by the thought of a RPG where, after going through your typical series of body sliders, you then are taken through a series of gender sliders.
That works. Hello. I was a lurker that sometimes posted in a thread back in Ghazi when things made me angry enough that I needed to say 'fuck these closet nazis' out loud. I go by uncreative_guy over on reddit.
I do intend to participate over here, but intention isn't the same as doing it.
Well, since people are opening up, guess I should add a bit where I talk about myself. I am a *gasp* cis-man. Homo-romantic, not sure about sexuality. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I am not that knowledgeable about Feminism, but I support it because asshole things are asshole things, and the Feminists on the internet seem to be among the few to call out assholeness 'round these parts. Don't worry, I won't bore you by JAQing all over the place. I'm here to laugh at right-wing idiocy and get angry at assholery. With the eventual shitpost. :v
Other than that -- Eh. I'm a dork, is what I am. I would probably go into withdrawal if I went a few weeks without my Role Playing. I have a shipping problem, a thing for marshmallow horses, and am a failing college student. I dream of one day getting into game development, but yeah.
Heya, nonbinary person here as well. Just found this group , so I don't know about any past drama or such. I'm currently writing some fantasy that involves looking deep into different social constructs of the fantasy cultures I made, including gender stuff. Inequality and such, though none of the cultures contain humans. So uh, hi!
Hi. I'm Sparkler. I sparkle. As my icon indicates, I'm transgender and I like small technicolor equines. I consider my understanding of feminism to be middling-101 level at best, not having done any serious study, but I was a part of gamerghazi over on That Alien Site because it was a place where I felt like I was talking with adults.
Hi! I'm Lily. I do lily-things. I don't know entirely what lily-things are, but they're things!
Okay. I do know. I currently run a podcast based around hypnosis, am working on making a videogame with some friends that stars a young trans woman!, and write. A lot. A lot a lot. I live out on a farm in the middle of nowhere with little mental stimulation, so I've drowned myself in bad hobbies. And cooking!
Hello, it's me, and I'm conscious about privacy so I try to keep as much of my personal life private as possible. I'm a software developer, I play Dota 2 a lot and I like Devin Townsend. I... make some music too but it's more about me being proud of my progress after 1 year of learning guitar than anything else.
For me this whole business is less about voicing my opinions and more about amplifying people I think should be heard. I don't post a lot.
I'm anna. I came here from the SRS room on euphoria, but haven't been active much. I hope this website is able to evolve into a more welcoming, friendly alternative to reddit. I'm a student right now, and enjoy cats, hiking, shitposting, and music (especially rock).
I'm Will-Mun (Imzy doesn't allow Hyphens...). 30 year old white guy, cis, bi, nerd. I've never really been affected by social proggressive issues since I "present" straight, whatever that means. I was, in my youth, a "problem." On the side of Social Progress but in a muted and status quoe is fine sort of way. I was that niave fool who thought Racism and Sexism was mostly gone and that intent defined racism.
I really started to come around to the idea that I should realign my opinions several years ago, when after a conversation with a black friend of mine. I tried to think of the last video game with a prominent black character that wasn't a stereotype, a gangster, and was playable. Fighting games nonwithstanding I had Agent from Crackdown, MAYBE Jade from Beyond Good and Evil (her race is ambiguous)... And then I had to go back to Micheal Jackson in Moonwalker. I realized just how shitty that was.
Obviously since then I've grown... At least I like to think I have. I wasn't a bad person, just okay with the status quoe. I changed since then and hope that, maybe, some of the media I enjoy will change too.
Hell I got back into comics pretty soley because the All-New Marvel line seems to be very deliberate in it's intent to push for better representation and inclusion.
Cis, queer, Hispanic, mid-30s, female. I've been really into video games since the days of Monkey Island and Loom and Gold Rush, and one of my earliest memories is playing Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on the Commodore 64 with my dad. But my family was actually really conservative and it wasn't until I was a teenager and got on the internet and meeting people who made me feel like I actually fit in the world that I started coming around. After failing utterly to be anything my parents actually wanted for me, I've just the past couple years started really building the life I want to have for my own purposes. Which, on the up side, makes me feel about ten years younger. On the down side, it makes me extremely peevish about social conservatives in general, and especially the internet blowhards.
Hallo; aside from my strong agnosticism, and my totally fucked financial world, I'm very much representative of the status quo. I really want to learn as much as I can and be a good ally. There are a lot of people that I love very dearly for whom social justice is more than an interest.
Umm hello I'm violetdaydreamer I'm a queer trans woman who was mostly a lurker on ghazi and fempire subs on reddit. I'm not good at the whole socializing thing but this site seems nice so I figure I would give it a try! I was mrrdyvltd on reddit although i think i may of posted like ten times over there so I doubt anyone knows me. Hopefully I will be more active over here. I feel like I'm rambling so Ill stop now.
Trans Lady here, currently working on a (sort of) board game. I'll probably show up as Slynn elsewhere on Imzy, same icon, different colors. I'm Deenreka over on reddit, where I mostly lurk.
Hello! I'm a complete dork of a person, if the Drow in my picture didn't clue you in. ;)
Also, I'm gay and transgender (though not many people guess the trans bit), which is what originally pushed me to care about minority rights and all that stuff.
This is fun! I'm SJWitch, and I migrated from that other site like many of us here. I like big, dumb nerdy things because I'm a big, dumb nerd. I'm very optimistic that Imzy can be a 'Good Twin' version of Reddit.
Hey hi. I'm chewinchawingum over on reddit too. What I feel comfortable sharing about myself is that I'm a cishet white woman with decades of SJWness under my belt. Not sure how active I'll be here, but I'm sure you're all lovely people and I'll give it a shot!
Hi, I'm some sort of bizarre robot here on Imzy, but in real life I'm a mid-30s middle class cishet white male software developer. Yup, I am the literal stereotype. Like many others in my demographic, I was ignorant of the social justice issues troubling society and was satisfied with the status quo.
This changed relatively recently, with a confluence of related passions. (Look at that sentence. It's unironic, I just love using the word "confluence." Rolls off the tongue.) I've always had an unusual fascination with the religious right in the US, and loosely kept an eye on the more extreme members. A great deal of my personal identity comes from discussions an debates with religious whackjobs. The rise of neoreactionaries and their alt-right copycats was concerning enough, but thinking about Venn diagram of them, Trump supporters, /pol/, and gators was enough to make me sit up and pay attention.
The actual catalyst of my transformation from a lolberal into an unironic SJW was how the programming language community I participate in reacted to relevant social justice issues. That episode introduced me to SRD, BoOC, Ghazi, MensLib, and the related subs, and I've been continually falling down that rabbithole ever since.
It's my hope that communities here in Imzy can act like mature adults and have real conversations about things that aren't just trashing "the other side." I mean, that's fun and all, but a community built around hate is unsustainable.

I like the ability to vent frustration with the status quo here and there, but I definitely feel like I've been craving more than that recently. I spent a long time feeling very nervous about getting into tech because of general attitudes, but it's weird--I thought activism was the sort of thing kids had the energy for? And yet here I am in my thirties and starting to feel remarkably energized about actually diving in and doing something about the stuff that's been frustrating me so long. I just have to actually figure out out how to vent all that energy productively.

Welcome to the club. Let me know if you ever figure it out. Posting words on the internets only gets you so far...
Hi! I go by darbythefourth on both Reddit and here. I'm a straight white dude who sometimes argues about video games on the internet. In addition to social justice activism, I'm also passionate about writing and film.
Hello guys! I'm a black woman on the internet (well I'll be a woman in June-) Ducks from all of the tin cans thrown at her
But no really. I'm trying to be a writer (of novels, video games, movies, etc.), and I'm planning on going to University to study English in the fall to uphold this. I'm a gamer too, as well as an avid metalhead (but I listen to all genres).

That sounds awesome. Is the development a group thing, or just you?
I'm working at it alone. Might look for some help on the art side eventually but I want to at least get my features complete and about a demo's length of playability before considering it.

Thanks, I'll be sure to keep you in mind!

Hey. I'm a cishet Asian dude. I go to school, play hockey, shitpost, take away Nazi Internet points.
Hey! I'm Leah, 20 year old trans lady. I devote my time to Internet, working fast food, and social justice activism
Glad to see you here too :D

I have a recipe for almost everything.
I'm also trans. And gay. So. So gay.

I imagine a lot of people are going to have a different profile for each community.
Just one of the great features Imzy has!

Hello, I'm a cat. It's nice to meet everyone! I think I'll write a bit more about myself when I'm a little less under the weather.

hey, I'm a cis white guy who is sick of other cis white guys having zero awareness about social issues

I really like my new username so far. I didn't want to make ShittyAsFuckUserName here, so Shafun it is.
Looking over Imzy it my initial impression is that it might be a cross between Twitter and Reddit.

So yeah. Thanks for having me.
Hiyo. Just another person strolling through.
hihi cis white queer 30-something lady here. i like good music and dog memes
