Jagex, the company behind Runescape, has quietly announced that they're rolling back their yearly pride month event.

Our very own Articles & Happenings has the scoop here (a).

For those who live under a rock, Runescape is one of the longest-running MMOs on the planet. They were yet another game to fall victim to the woke mind virus and added the following features to the game to satiate troons:

  • Removal of gender in favor of "Body Type A/B" nonsense
  • Ability to set your character's pronouns (IIRC there's currently a bug that always resets it back to "he/him" when you log out)
  • Changed an entire questline where you had to solve a puzzle by changing your character's gender
  • Added an official pride month event
  • Added pride accessories you can wear on your character
As the article linked above states, they are rolling back the official pride month event. Whether or not they will roll back all the other fag shit remains to be seen.

A fun bonus from Null:

Alaska medical board moves to restrict treatment of transgender minors​

The Alaska State Medical Board voted Friday to move toward limiting access to gender-affirming care for minors.

The board also asked Alaska lawmakers to restrict access to abortion, a procedure that is widely protected under the state constitution.

Under proposed regulations unanimously adopted by the board — whose members were appointed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy — gender-affirming care for minors, including hormone therapy and surgeries, would be classified as “unprofessional conduct,” allowing the board to discipline providers who offer it.

The draft regulations now head to the state Department of Law for review, after which they are expected to be posted for a 30-day public comment period.

States across the country in recent years have sought to place limits on the care of transgender minors. Medical associations in the U.S., including the American Academy of Pediatrics, have continuously supported access to the treatments and opposed outright bans.

Some international reviews have found that evidence of the benefits of hormone therapy in youth is weak, causing some countries to restrict access to such treatments. However, they remain widely embraced by medical providers in the U.S., who say that treatment bans unnecessarily target a vulnerable group, and that the treatments are widely shown to be effective in addressing gender dysphoria.

Identity Inc., an Alaska organization offering gender-affirming care to minors, sent an open letter to the state medical board opposing the new regulations. The letter was signed by hundreds of providers across the state. According to Identity’s executive director, Tom Pittman, fewer than 100 children in Alaska rely on the kind of care that the board is seeking to limit.

“Gender-affirming care for adolescents, when indicated and provided in partnership with families, is evidence-based medicine. It is recognized by every major medical association — including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and the Endocrine Society — as the standard of care,” providers wrote in their letter. “Labeling it ‘negligence’ is not a medical conclusion. It is a political act with devastating consequences: punishing clinicians, undermining parents, and denying young people lifesaving treatment.”

The draft regulations expand the definition of unprofessional medical conduct to include “providing medical or surgical intervention to treat gender dysphoria or facilitate gender transition by altering sex characteristics inconsistent with the biological sex at birth, including but not limited to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, mastectomy, phalloplasty, or genital modification to a minor under the age of 18 years old.”

The proposed regulation provides for exemptions that “include but are not limited to: treatments for congenital sex development disorders or non-elective procedures for physical injury.” The proposal defines “biological sex” as “the male or female designation based on chromosomes, gonads, hormones, and genitals at birth. irrespective of psychological identity.” It defines “Gender Transition” as “any process to align sex characteristics with a gender identity different from biological sex.”

If the regulation is adopted, medical practitioners who are found to have provided gender-affirming care may face sanctions from the state medical board, including potentially losing their licenses.

The move by the board comes five months after its members sent a letter to lawmakers asking them to impose legislative limits on such care. Lawmakers did not take up the request during the regular session, which ended in May.

Dr. Matt Heilala, a podiatrist who took the lead on drafting the proposed regulation, previously said that officials in the Department of Law said the medical board does not have “clear regulatory authority on this kind of issue.”

Heilala, a Republican, is currently running for governor, and said Friday that he would soon leave the board to focus on his campaign.

To move forward with the new regulation, the medical board needed an exemption from Dunleavy, who has issued an administrative order limiting the creation of new regulations. Board Chair Dr. Brent Taylor said the board voted Aug. 1 to request a waiver.

Dunleavy during his tenure has repeatedly sought to limit the rights of transgender children. Amid lack of support from lawmakers for his agenda, he has relied on boards whose members he appoints. The state education board in 2023 limited the participation of transgender girls in girls’ sports teams.

“We’ve seen a lot more study that is alarming, policy shifts across the world, and we have strong support of the governor on this. More than half of the states have either outright banned or curtailed this kind of care,” said Heilala. “A regulation is an opportunity and a tool to be used at the discretion of the board. And I think that’s very important to point out — it’s not an obligation to discipline or sanction, but it is an option.”

David Wilson, a commercial pilot who serves on the medical board, said the efforts to limit access to gender-affirming care were undertaken by the board after it was approached by “members of the public who voiced concern over the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors.”

“This was brought to us as a concern by members of the public, and we acted on that,” said Wilson. “This is not politically motivated. There is no agenda.”

More than 70 members of the public signed in to the online board meeting Friday. Because of time constraints, only 13 of them were allowed to speak. All of them spoke in opposition to the board’s actions.

Cole Lockard, a transgender man who lives in Anchorage, said he began taking testosterone and underwent surgery as a teenager.

“Pursuing medical transition is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life,” Lockard said. “By alleviating the pain of gender dysphoria in a way therapy can never do, gender-affirming care allowed me to engage with the world as my authentic self.”

Bryant Griffith, a medical student who was born and raised in Alaska, said the board’s actions would impact physicians’ decisions on whether to practice medicine in Alaska.

“A state medical board going against globally recognized standards of care and best practice will affect the Alaska physician workforce,” said Griffith. “How could a trainee like myself want to come and work under a medical board that opposes standard of care?”

Opposing ‘late term’ abortion
The board on Friday also adopted a non-binding position statement opposing “late term” abortion. The phrase has no agreed-upon medical definition, and board members did not say what they meant in using it. In Alaska, as in the rest of the United States, the vast majority of abortions are performed in the first trimester of pregnancy. In the past five years, only three out of roughly 6,000 abortion procedures performed in Alaska were done after week 20 of pregnancy.

In a statement adopted unanimously, board members wrote that “Alaska state law allows for elective late term abortions, up until the time of delivery. The Alaska State Medical Board believes this is not ethical medical practice and does not embody the values of Alaskans.”

“Many Alaskans and even physicians are unaware of this. We encourage Alaskans to engage with their representatives and to advocate for new legislation to bring state law into alignment with community values on this issue,” board members wrote.

Alaska’s state constitution has been interpreted to provide broad protections for abortion access in the state, limiting efforts from lawmakers to advance bills to curtail the procedure.

Heilala, who led work on the statement, said during the meeting that Alaska is “an outlier” due to its “extremely permissive nature of the practice of abortion.”

Alaska is one of nine states that does not impose restrictions on abortion access at a specific point in pregnancy, leaving the decision instead to medical practitioners.

The Alaska medical board, which is required under law to have eight members, is two members short. The board under law must consist of physicians “residing in as many separate geographical areas of the state as possible.” The board currently consists of six men, three of whom reside in Palmer, one in Wasilla and two in Anchorage.

The members include podiatrist Heilala; Taylor, a general surgeon; Dr. David Paulson, a neurosurgeon; Dr. Ryan McDonough, a cardiologist; Dr. David Barnes, a primary care physician; and Wilson, the commercial pilot.mes King.

I feel like this thread should be a lot more active.

It's featured so most people probably know, but a tranny was fired from DC comics for celebrating Charlie Kirk's death. Never would have happened 5 years ago.

I agree. Some faggot just added rocket boosters to the pendulum as it was swinging back. It was swinging back slowly but now who knows how fast it's going.

People don't care much about politicians dying. Charlie Kirk was just a regular dude trying to talk to regular people. If being shot for that is on the table, regular people feel it. A different regular person got stabbed on the subway because of soft on crime bullshit. Regular people feel that because they realize it could have been them. A politician on a stage at a rally doesn't resemble a regular person much, but a girl on the way home after work does.

Maybe I just relate to Charlie knowing his family was there during his assassination because I have a family I'm trying to support and protect myself and I can't imagine how they would react to seeing me die violently. RIP Charlie, RIP Iryna. Society failed you both.

The legbutt sphere is incredibly fractured right now. Gays and lesbians put up a public show for solidarity but they're not super down for the tranny menace. There's also shifting mores - a lot of people in the movement think it's time to grow up and stop running around brandishing dildos every year in the name of pride because it's reducing the entire movement to degeneracy and inviting blowback for something that's really not necessary.

I think people across the political spectrum are just tired of being forced to act like HR is in the room constantly. A lot of people went along with the CURRENT YEAR shit because they thought the people pushing it had legitimately good intentions but it's just transparently become a tool of mass social control and a vector to fill institutions with more nepo babies.

Schumer is basically a functionary for a nearly-extinct wing of the Democratic party. All these elder lich dem politicians are dying out or retiring and they're acting out right now because the younger wing of the party doesn't care about "democracy in Iran" because of the CoL crisis, so they're trying to drum up as much momentum for the policies they want now.

I hang out in a circle of normie dems and the shifts in what they're talking about in the groupchats lately would make them seem like Trump supporters a decade ago. Immigration is now framed as an attempt to undermine labor (I've heard them liberally throw around the words "pajeets" and "street-shitters"), Europe and Canada are clowned on as being impotent whiners, and there's a strong sense that America would be better off if it just pursued policies for itself. Major vibe changes happening in the dem electorate but this shit is chaotic so who knows where it'll shake out by 2028.
 
The USA has splintered into many different factions. I don't think it's right to try to classify it under a binary pendulum switch. But, if we were to do that, I would say there is an increasing lust for violence and aggressiveness among the right while the left is staying dead hard in their beliefs of transgenderism and classism. A true catastrophe if I've seen one.
