My wife identifies as this. It really suits them. They do experience sexual arousal, but it's rare, though it's not repulsive either.

The amount of people that assume laughter is directed at them in a scenario like this instead of the friend or even just a reaction to something uncomfortable is too high.
It wasn't pointless of me to try and help you and others know the difference between copyrights and patents. It's a very common misconception. It wasn't detracting from your point, either. At no point did I argue that the game companies doing this are actually morally correct and that it shouldn't bother you that the Nemesis System is patented or that Nintendo is patenting things like capturing monsters.
Last time I checked it out there was a lot of racist spam. It seems better now. Maybe it was one bad actor or the spam filter is better.
I'm not a man
It's a common misconception. It's not a big deal. Why are you being so defensive about me correcting it?
The difference does matter. Two copyrighted games can have similar mechanics. Just look at literally any pair of games in the same genre. First person shooting isn't patented, so anybody can make an FPS game. They patented the nemesis system. Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War are copyrighted.
Copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and patent infringement are all very different.
Patented, not copyrighted, but I think you double posted.
You mean patent. You don't choose to copyright things or not, all media is inherently copyrighted. This comment is technically copyrighted once I hit send. It sounds like your referring to Shadow of Mordor's/War's Nemesis system being patented.
The article is from December 2nd, though maybe the conference is from much earlier, so barring that... The fucking UN said on September 16th that "Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip." It's absolutely infuriating that people are still viewing this as something controversial or debatable. I was naively hoping that once the UN used the big G word (genocide) that more moderate politicians (being incredibly generous calling them moderate) would finally start acting like it's a genocide.
