in 2013 i regrettably joined the burning pit that is ro-politics. in 2017, i would myself ascend to the role of governor of the state of rockport, the first woman to do so, but i never felt as though that accomplishment actually meant anything for our community. rockport had already been long deteriorating and was in the final stages before its death thanks to firestone’s founding in 2016 largely absorbing the community. being governor, to me, was not the same feat that it would have been just a couple years before.
throughout my time in firestone it’s seemed like the community has not been ready for a female leader. despite proving my own way, becoming the first woman to serve as speaker, the first woman to serve as chief justice, not a day went by that i didn’t experience misogyny within this community. that i didn’t have less experienced, less knowledgeable men tell me how to do my job. it also worried me that there plainly weren’t any other large female names on the political scene. there was the occasional cabinet member, congressperson, sure – but none of these women ever reached the same level of true political power in our state; of being one of the state’s most respected and influential.
a full decade after i joined this community, chloe and jade have finally shattered the ceiling. this is a historical moment, and it is the first time in a very long time that i’ve ever been proud of this community. to @Soiandiis and @jaderigs, i am so proud of you both. congratulations, and i have the fullest faith in the both of you to be strong governors for our state.
(and thank FUCK you did it because holy shit i thought it was gonna have to be me i didn’t wanna do that shit bro omg)
and of course, what better way to celebrate their victory than laughing at a salty man shouting into the void about a woman’s ‘qualifications’ and suggesting that they somehow got preferential treatment for being women (never change, firestone)
Honestly I’m glad there has been some more progress within our government. Congratulations to our new governor and Lt gov and let’s hope they don’t disappoint!
Still holds up, just change black to female.
But yeah, before anyone starts accusing us of identity politics, this game is literally “what if we made an entire community out of the most generic white yokel spawn we could on the internet, like let’s just make a Birmingham, AL middle school a virtual country.” And the result is what one would predict. I honestly don’t know how the judiciary and legal system became a gay cult over the years, but everytime someone who breaks the mold gets power here I just like to watch the fire.
To me, it wasn’t a man vs women thing. It was just about who the people wanted.
At the end of the day, Chloe and Jade didn’t win because they were or were not a certain gender, they were just candidates that most people aligned themselves with and wanted to win. They had lots of friends in the community. They ran on a chill platform and staying active within the game.
We haven’t had a strong woman governor candidate until now. The people just liked the campaign that Chloe and Jade were running with.
Yes, it is great that a pair of women are in office, but more importantly is that these candidates are competent and bring more to the job than just the title of 1st female governorship. Not just a pointless diversity hire.
chloe and jade had my full support in the election and i’m very happy to be apart of their advisory team for their term. they are both capable of doing great things for the state in it’s end-times era.
p.s sorry i beat you and danny to ascend to the throne of my governorship years ago, even though we most likely agree on virtually nothing you would’ve been more than capable for the job.
While I don’t agree with some arguments presented in this thread, as Skye said, it’s really is making Firestone history. This state has been around for 6 years, and it’s quite surprising that it took us this long to have a female governor and lieutenant governor. Also, for anyone curious, this makes it now so that the major 5 political positions in this state (GOV, LTG, CCJ, SOTH, CE) have all held a female holder. Nonetheless, congratulations to both candidates on their victory! This election has been quite toxic, so it’s good that we can put this election behind us and continue on.
I am glad that those two are governor and lieutenant governor. Not because they are women, but because Kamraxn rigged the election before this one so that he would win and he brainwashed everyone and he’s trying to force us to abandon our liberties and he’s trying to get rid of illegal gun dealers!
