The real horror of a Stepford Wives situation isn't 'the suburbs are creepy' or even 'conformity is creepy' or 'I don't wanna be replaced by a robot'

The horror is the idea that you might choose to spend your life with somebody only to realize they don't actually want a partner and friend, somebody with ambitions and thoughts and joy. They want somebody productive, compliant, and sexually available, and all your internal life is nothing but a barrier to that. That the person you love only loves what you do for them, and the less of the an actual person you are, the happier they are.

"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane

"AI art is stealing Studio Ghibli's work/art without compensation" boy wait until you find out who drew and animated all of those frames and who got paid most for the end result

liberals are all about "stolen labour" when it's an "intellectual property" being stolen from a company, but not so much when it's the proletariat's labour being stolen by companies. funny that huh

even legitimately useful sex safety advice is always phrased as an imperative to health, never do this always do that you must not blahblahblah. same with drug use harm reduction stuff, they can never just say yknow this substance is associated with these risks and you will increase them if you xyx and can decrease them if you pqr, it's always written under the presumption that the reader's risk tolerance is exactly the same as the author's and so it would be simply unthinkable to aim advice at anyone who is willing to risk something you're personally not, because of course this is not about providing the information for others to rationally adjudicate their own personal priorities and needs but merely a matter of educating the reckless masses so they too may live according to the objective truth of your own personal risk assessment. they tip their hands because it's not like anyone talks about driving a car or getting exposed to respiratory diseases this way, imagine if mainstream sources were constantly written like you're insane and stupid for deciding you're willing to incur a potential crash because you want to go on a trip or like you obviously would never exist in a room unmasked if only you knew what the flu can do -- these activities are invisible, it's the socially stigmatised nature of sex or drugs or whatever that render them specifically problematised in this way. read some samuel delany about it idfk

every farming game is either called sunshine ranch and it's about a guy with a lot of free time and a concept of a farm that's more akin to a petting zoo or it's called mass industrial agriculture farming tycoon simulator and it's basically a spreadsheet where you get to drive a tractor and look at pngs of a corn monoculture

I fear a lot of people learned to take good care of library books as children and instead of internalizing "leave shared community items as you found them as much as possible, because other people will use them too" they internalized "printing and binding a book imbues it with sacred energy and if you dog-ear a mass-market paperback you're desecrating the entire concept of written language"

checked the twitter "for you" page for the first time in a good while, first post I see is an argument between two libertarians in which one tracked down the grave of the other belligerents dead brother and took a photograph of himself standing over it with a shovel threatening to build a chair with his bones

whether they're Good Media™ or whatever aside, I think mainstream liveplay ttrpg shows have been a fucking disaster for the hobby. it's hard to imagine anything that could have fucked the expectations:results differential for people more than having celebrities do college improv with dice (and an entire media production team behind them) and telling a generation of new players that's what tabletop gaming is like

cmon now

in just one paragraph this post has it all:

the totemizing of 4chan as a set of symbols & interests, superficial proximity to any of which has such unsavoury implications as to override any other aspect of someone's personality, politics, ideology, etc

"leftist"

being entirely too pressed about the sex lives of strangers

the suggestion that one's politics (ie, whether one is "leftist") is contingent on one's sexual interests

the phrasing that deliberately obscures the boundary between incest/rape & kinks playacting incest/rape, as if to imply that the unspecified users being referred to are committing actual sa under the guise of kink

sweeping statement about "tumblr"-- if the site as a whole was as described in this post, then how would this post be able to get 5000 notes

"speaking as a white person, [thing i dont like] is white people shit" <- i was under the impression that this sort of statement was considered tacky

"people of colour universally have more conservative sexual politics than white people. this reflects positively on people of colour"

the implication that every person that has ever used tumblr is either white or black, & none of the latter are on tumblr anymore

the assertion that there was a point in time at which tumblr as a whole was "leftist", & now it is the opposite
