In this post, I'm going to cover one way to create a battle with an enemy in Twine. Let's start with the variables. The only variable that is really needed is $health, but to make things more interesting, we will also create a few different ways to attack the enemy and a way to buy more health. We should set up these values at the beginning of the game. Players will start the game with the ability to punch or kick but will not have any other weapons.

Yesterday, Jourdain Searles responded to a Twitter user expressing shock that there was a podcast about the Gaiman allegations six months ago, which they hadn't heard about, by saying "it's because the original investigation against him was headed by TERFs who were going after him for supporting trans people. there was a lot of skepticism regarding who the messengers were." This post got a lot of pushback because it is almost entirely lies.

1. Tortoise Media's reporting was done by a TERF. Tortoise Media had the story because Gaiman's victims, per their own attestations, were repeatedly rebuffed by mainstream news outlets. No one else wanted to take this story.

2. Within days of the allegations breaking, transcripts were available from a volunteer, and extensive summaries of the allegations were available not just on Tortoise's website but on social media, from feminists who are not trans-excluding. The podcast contains the victims speaking with their own voices; within weeks, the victims themselves confirmed that the podcast was a fair representation of their allegations. In other words, within a very short period of time, there was copious information to support the conclusion that the allegations of serial rape were in fact credible.

3. There was never any evidence that Gaiman was targeted for supporting trans people. This implies the opposite of what the victims described: reaching out to many, many journalists while desperate to share their stories and being rebuffed or ignored.

4. The silence in question was not exclusive to people who care about trans rights. The Guardian did not report on the allegations. Tor's industry publication Reactor didn't report on them. Many, many highly visible SFF industry publications and individuals stayed completely silent. Gaiman, meanwhile, had retained a PR firm whose stated strategy is stonewalling accusers.

Why would someone who is “really” a woman “want to be” a man? Easy: She’s experiencing sexism, and she wants out. So do you, but you are fighting sexism the right way, by being a feminist. This other person, who claims to have “gender dysphoria,” is just trying to cut to the head of the line. They’re cheating. They’re trying to become the oppressor rather than fighting the oppression. Why would anyone be a trans man? Because they’re a bad, sexist person. That’s the only possible answer. After all: It's not like they will literally die if they don't transition. Right?

If they want to be men, why, you’ll treat them like men! But with a particular, angry emphasis, because you view their manhood as a betrayal! And this is not only feminist, it is trans-inclusive, because you’re treating them the same way you would any other guy!

They aren’t “any other guy.” They’re trans guys, and you’re a cis person, and as such, you hold social and political power over them, which you are ignoring in order to assume total authority over an experience you do not share, and (this seems pertinent) to get away with treating somebody like crap because they are transgender. You're not treating them the way you treat "any other guy," you're treating them the way you treat trans guys, and the way you treat trans guys is: Bad.
