You are a
henchman of the Illuminati: a secret society of elites that controls the
world from the shadows. You must use your skills and wits to pull off
an elaborate conspiracy. However, as you carry out your mission, you
will discover that the truth is far more strange than you could have
imagined. Will you complete your mission unscathed, or be destroyed by
the machinations of your masters? This game allows you to create
stories modeled after outlandish conspiracy theories. Things will be
simple at the start, but as you make progress, the the plot will become
more and more convoluted. By the end, the story will be a complete
tangle of madness.
But feminists still aren’t going to say SHIT about Islam, are you?
Hey…it’s me the person who wrote the original tweets, a Muslim feminist as it so happens. Please don’t attempt to use CULTURAL examples of stigma surrounding divorce in order to push your Islamophobia. These particular tweets also included Catholic, Christian, Jewish women of my culture. Not to mention that this set of tweets also resonated with women of many other cultures and religions. Patriarchy and its opression is global….and not exclusive to the Muslim world. Not to mention that divorce is very much allowed in Islam and that the stigma around Muslim women does not exist in Islamic text. The issue here is cultural aspects of the way we handle and stigmatize divorce.
My mothers catholic and right now we’re in the process of trying to find her a job so she can divorce my shitty father, also Catholic. It’s not really the religion that’s the problem it’s the culture, in our case balkan culture.
Sending you and your mama love and luck.
This makes me so, so sad. I’m so sorry that so many people fall into terrible marriages, and that long-lasting marriages are glorified for all the wrong way reasons. I’m glad that many abused and tormented spouses can find a way out in divorce. Here’s the thing, though - we really shouldn’t celebrate higher divorce rates. The largest problem here isn’t that divorce is stigmatized, it’s that so many marriages suck, whether there’s abuse or cheating or any number of other relational issues. That’s the problem we should really be trying to fix. Our end goal here should be to lessen the number of abusive marriages and to encourage healthy, happy, mutually supportive relationships.
There’s a game I’ve been working on for over a year and it’s almost finished. The game is called Illuminati Confirmed. The players are henchmen for the Illuminati who try to pull off an elaborate conspiracy. I’m having some people do the final edits and layout. After that I’m going to publish it on DriveThruRPG. Stay tuned, it’s going to be great!
