me when i like the 2-3h movie: directors should never have to compromise their vision to appeal to something as fickle as people's "patience". anyone complaining about the movie's length is simply a tiktok-addicted philistine.

me when i don't like the 2-3h movie: once i become god emperor of earth anyone trying to make a movie longer than 90 minutes will be shot.

the response to "your demographic is full of people who are ugly and weird and undesirable" should not ever be "not true! some of us are in fact hot and normal and desireable." you should stand with weird ugly bitches bc otherwise you're just playing a losing game with bigots.

personalized ads are so funny to me

'hey we've been spying on you and tracking your every move. it's a culmination of state of the art technology and an unprecedented invasion of consumer privacy. a room full of men with made up jobs bent their will toward decades of constructing this system, defending it in court, and tirelessly innovating new ways to aggregate more data about you'

and the end result is

'yeah so uh we saw that you recently bought a car. so here's an ad for that car'

like no i'm good actually. you might be aware that i already have one

hrt and transgender surgeries being positioned as dangerous and experimental despite being around for much longer than ozempic, which many people are pushing as a miracle weight loss drug while ignoring its real medical indications and any possible negative side effects

it seems like hypocrisy but it's really the same idea: your body is not yours to control. you are not allowed to be fat, you are not allowed to be trans, we will say whatever it takes to keep you in line

I don't think men saying out of pocket shit to me on the internet is because they're men. everyday billions of men wake up and don't say out of pocket shit to me on the internet. this is clearly an active choice

[creekfiend]

genuinely one of the scariest and saddest kinds of conversations that I find myself regularly having with various women is where they will describe something that a man in their life has done or said to them that is absolutely horrific and then when you express horror about it they are just like "haha well you know how men are"

girl that is not how men are. I have many men in my life who I care about and none of them are like that. that man is not biologically compelled to treat you like shit. it's a choice he is making. ARERRGH

since spotify wrapped is coming today i just want to bring awareness to the fact that around 86% of the songs on spotify are currently demonetized since spotify decided that tracks with under 1,000 cannot be monetized. not only that the ceo of spotify cashed out $35.8 million dollars in spotify shares in the third quarter of the year and it has been reported that he earns more than the top artists on the platform.

for a platform that claims to support artists, this is outrageous and i hope people realize that an artist who is starting out, cannot make a living out of spotify streams simply because daniel ek and his friends made it worse for the artists trying to start a career. if you wanna support musicians and the possibility for them to get a living wage please follow United Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW) which are trying to make The Living Wage for Musicians Act a reality so musicians can be paid fairly through streaming platforms and get the cut they deserve.

[heartclef]

since this post was made, daniel ek has invested in ai weapons, and ICE ads have been played on the platform. various people are starting to boycott the platform this year (2025) so, again, keep that in mind before posting your spotify wrapped!

The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity

people talk about and excerpt the smutty passages from like romantasy booktok hits or whatever and sometimes it's to be "lol look at this embarrassing porn" and other times it's like a self-serious lit person being like "well certainly one can infer that the books' explicit erotic content is much of their appeal 🧐" but nobody is willing to do the real work of like actually discussing why these scenes are bad at being pornography and not sexy or titillating at all. i mean i guess clearly they are successfully this for probably literally millions of people so that's not quite the right phrasing. but it's like the reason i don't read this stuff isn't because it was written to be jerkoff material it's because it's lousy jerkoff material. and it's lousy jerkoff material in ways i actually think are somewhat interesting to discuss from a craft perspective such as an abundance of cliche and a tendency for individual character dynamics to disappear once the fucking starts and an overreliance on banal physical description of insert tab A into slot B. but nobody is ready for this conversation because either they think it's embarrassing or morally wrong that romantasy jerkoff material exists or because they have extremely low literary standards for jerkoff material. everybody on earth it seems falls into one of these two categories except, of course, Me And My Mutuals
