Ew. Rather not....

Worry about who was exploited for all that money.

Can I just be a millionaire? 750,000 aire? Tbh 300,000 would solve every conceivable problem in my life

Easily. Step 1: become a billionaire, as in the image. Step 2: create 999 millionaires. Congratulations, you're now a millionaire!

If I get the money I'll just use it to start my life over as a cute and mousy cottage core lady.

So i just have to keep pressing until i get both?

If you get the left, you can afford to become the right.

I don't think it's nearly as easy to become a perfect cute femboy, as it is to transition. I might be wrong but it's something you really need to get lucky with.

I mean one-button instant transformation into something cute is a lot easier than surgery and all that.

If I actually became cartoon style femboy in real life, becoming billionaire wouldn't be that hard imo.

You'd have to abandon all of your ethical principles, and then you'd face the problem of how to keep the wealth you generate rather than having it sucked up by all the existing billionaires who would chew you up, extract every penny they could then spit you out, which is extra difficult because now you're in an intersection of minorities.

And even if you succeeded you'd be a billionaire, and I don't think those people are actually very fulfilled.

If I was a cartoon femboy, I'm pretty sure a few of those existing billionaires would be my simps.

That thought is, and I cannot stress this enough, legitimately horrifying. Do you know how many of them went to Epstein's island?

These are people who can make nearly anything happen to you, and they don't even have to lift a finger.

I feel like you just told me that Mordor will be great because you'll just put on the One Ring, get Sauron's attention then flash him your tits and he'll be horny so you'll be golden.

Better me than some kids, right? πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Gallant as that is, I don't think it's either/or with these people, I think it's both/and.

They have to keep exploiting and consuming everything and everyone. Whilst I understand that the rapacious drive to infinite growth is systemic, I'm convinced that one of the mechanisms that keeps it going is their own alienation, the deep emptiness and disassociation that comes from living in a world where nobody can tell them no, and they have to fill that hole with something. After your fifth mansion, third private jet and second mega yacht, just buying things doesn't do it, and why did they accumulate so much if they're just miserable anyway?

The only thing left is hurting people with impugnity, because that proves that you have power.

Guess I'm pressing the button, then. Either I become a billionaire and can do whatever I want, or I become a femboy, make bank with photos, videos, and streams of myself, and use the money to do slightly less of whatever I want.

Only ethical way of becoming a billionaire

Staying a billionaire wouldn't be however :3

you could donate a hundred thousand a year to charities, use two hundred thousand each year inflation adjusted, and have it last until you die, probably.

Assuming you put the money in a basic ass savings account at bank of America (average us savings account gives .46%apy) thar is a gain of 4.6 MILLION a year. So you would need to out spend that just to start losing money. High interest accounts can be up around ten times that at 5% so 50 million a year would need to be spent to lose money.

Stock market averages 10% yearly returns not including dividends. So a cool 100 million a year in play money.

Brought to you by math gang that knows how insane being a billionaire is.

money in a savings account generally looses value as it doesn't usually keep up with inflation or cost of living increases. Someone who invests in the stock market will probably do quit well on average, however the 1920s existed as did the recent fluctuations of 2008 and 2020-2021 which could lead to large losses. A billion is a huge amount of money, however can still be invested or spent irresponsibly.

Laws have changed since 1920, and even with 2008 and 2020 every ten year period will still see 10% growth from a diversified portfolio.
And even if 4.6 million doesn't buy what it did last year you can spend less than that for the compound interest to overtake inflation easily.

Free HRT, I can look hot, and I get a chance at solving world hunger?

Hell yeah!

I think you might still need to have HRT if you want the other effects of feminization HRT, like breasts. Might get you closer though.

"God dammit. Rich again!"

Wait hang on there's a pictures for sad children about this.

Oh man, I miss PFSC

That's actually a beautiful saying. I'm gonna hang onto that for a while and if it continues to ring true I'm gonna start using it.

It's about how culture isn't property. It belongs to all of us, like language. It cannot be owned. When a movie shifts an entire industry, and the director still thinks he's free to dictate what's in it, twenty years later, artists need reminding: you shared this. You gave it to us, or sold it to us. It cannot possibly be yours alone. We outnumber you. As time goes on, some of us have spent more time thinking about it than you ever did.

When a work has influenced people, nobody gets to take that away - least of all the artist. They don't even get to tell people how to feel about it at-the-time. Trying to erase a work entirely is intolerable censorship. Nothing that any human being put effort into deserves to be lost forever. Not even the stuff that belongs behind a little wall at some somber museum. You are allowed to walk away from it, to disavow it, to never again be associated with it. If you feel that you are no longer the person who made it, vaya con dios. But then who the fuck do you think you are, telling me I can't continue to love it?

Yup, I agree with all of that. Also though from the perspective of the artist, I prefer to think of the act of creation as not coming fully from the artist, but moving through them.

Like people used to not say someone is a genius, but that they have a genius. It was basically the same thing as a genie - a helper.

Also the book Steal Like an Artist has a lot about how you should stop trying to be totally original and just accept that your work is and will always be a mish-mash of different influences. It even advises you to simply try to emulate your heroes, and in failing to do so accurately, you'll find your own unique voice.

Another way to think of creativity is that it's like a kind of temporary possession that you have to exorcise by creating the thing, I call this the "taking a shit" model of creativity.

This isn't to demean artists or their work, I find it takes the pressure off of me presonally.

Transformed into someone young and healthy? You can keep the money.

I'm already a cute femboy, I would want to be rich though.

Life as a cartoon might be interesting . Especially of this variety. I think the tentacle sex wouldn't be so bad, sign me up.

Step 1. Press the button until you have both Step 2. Give all the money away

How many times can i push the button? What happens if i femboy myself twice?

Maybe you get upgraded to fem-man?

Sounds like a Mega Man boss. Femme Man, maybe? You get Skirt Spin, which is like Top Sin but cute and useful

If I had to be stuck with a feminine body I'd probably just go the rest of the way and get some boobs

Clickety clickety click!

Clickety clickety click!

I didn't get any money.

How is this even a question? There's no downside.

I want that so badly, even though I pass well enough now, I would love to be cute like that since I'm not super feminine as I am now. If I got the money I would use it to finally get voice surgery and bottom surgery.

I think basically everyone here would press both as many times as they could, there's no downside

I might actually press the button zero times. Genuinely. I am pretty well convinced by now that being a billionaire is a mental health disaster, and I'm cis.

But being thin again would be nice...

As an anticapitalist butch I'll be VERY careful not to accidentally press the button when I destroy it

Nah. I don’t want to be a billionaire, I like my comfortable but constrained life.
