Today's Idea:

The dead moms from anime are not dead! They've been transported into a world where THEY are the heroes!

No more taking care of your son on his quest for "the power of friendship"... IT'S MOM'S TIME TO SHINE!

"Welcome to Mama Isekai Paradise" coming to a streaming service near you...

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???

as a black gay person real like where y'all be finding this stuff pass the name

[brainsforbabyjesus]

for real though, those DO NOT WATCH OR YOU'LL CORRUPT YOUR CHILDREN lists put out by conservative christian family groups is where I find all the stellar tv shows. Like, shit I didn't know half of those existed, thanks for finding them for me, gonna go watch 30 hours of gay tv now!

I think I know how this works.

For personal context, before I went to the '98 Burning Man festival, one of the things I'd read from a couple different journalists was that "everybody" runs around naked. Which, fine by me, I'd already spent a lot of time in clothing-optional spaces, I'm not fanatic about it but it's nice.

So I got there early and set up a public shade structure on one of Black Rock City's main roads and spent most of each afternoon just watching the crowds go by. I don't remember seeing more than one actually naked person the whole week. I think a topless woman passed by my intersection maybe every half an hour, sometimes once an hour. So why in the hell were people, normally pretty smart and observant writers, coming away with the impression that everybody was naked?

Then I remembered an unrelated passage from Joel Garreau's great book about the history of the outer-ring suburbs, Edge City. Mall developers told him flat-out that they tried to keep the crowds in their malls less than 5% black. Not because they themselves were racist, but because they had determined, experimentally, that if more than 5% of the people in the mall are black, the median white shopper will wrongly describe the mall as at least half black, as mostly black. And not a few of them would describe it, at 6% black, as a mall where "only black people go." Why?

Because, emotionally, they were still upset over the last one when the next one came into view.

Same as the journalists describing Black Rock City as all naked. Same as the right-wing religious culture warriors describing television as entirely mixed-race and gender non-conforming. Not because it's even vaguely true, we know that, but because they haven't gotten over their discomfort over the last one by the time the next one comes along. The anger, not the stimulus, is the part that's continuous, so their mind lies to them that it's "all" the thing they can't get over.

Similar effect for the presence/proportion of women in things, by the way: https://health.howstuffworks.com/mental-health/human-nature/perception/how-17-equals-496-the-amazing-multiplying-women.htm

amazing things happening in late series columbo episodes

[benepla-deactivated20180521]

if i didnt know who these characters were i’d say its a french indie gay romantic drama that is playing a little too heavily with color symbolism

[wellwaterhysteria]

i think about this post like. once a week. and i mean that.

[polyamandhellaglam]

Polyamory is safe for work. Polyamory is safe for kids. Polyamory is safe for day time tv. Polyamory isn’t more sexual than any other relationship and it can be just as romantic, sweet, and healthy.

Wanted: Domestic-Badass anime recs!

There is a particular sub-genre of anime my friend and I have dubbed "Domestic-Badass" this is amine where a perceived dangerous person (spy, assassin, yakuza) has ended up in a domestic situation.

Some anime included in the list would be:

The Way of the Househusband

Spy X Family

Buddy Daddies

To a lesser extent I may also include:

The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer

Marriagetoxin

Anyway, I am looking for more anime to add to this list, thanks in advance for your recs!

I love being a millennial because I can discuss sex with my friends

[senatortedcruz]

Best part of being a millennial is being able to talk about sex with friends without the zoomer in your head clutching their pearls and drafting a call out post about you and the second best part is-and idk how to word this so don’t interpret it in the worst possible faith and come for me or whatever-is im still moved by multiculturalism, globalism, the whole we are all one race the human race that The Color of Friendship, Remember the Titans, Mississippi Masala was trying to teach us. Idk man I found myself smiling at an Airbnb commercial reminding us that Punk music was the result of Jamaican sound systems in England and churros came to Spain from North Africa. You don’t see too many celebrating those values these days.
