people who don’t watch horror movies are SO confident that they know everything there is to know about the genre. like it’s okay to not know things. it’s okay if you don’t like friday the 13th or whatever. i promise you don’t need to make an ass out of yourself on the internet about it

[improbablecarny]

horror is an incredibly diverse genre, because there is potential horror in everything. it’s in nature, it’s in architecture and technology, it’s in human relationships, it’s in folklore, the past, the future, the mundane. there are horror movies from all over the world. it is straight up anti-intellectual to pretend that the handful of B slashers you’ve vaguely heard about comprise the totality of what horror has to offer. If you’re just not interested in horror, or if you dislike certain subgenres of horror, then that’s fine, you’re not obligated to like anything at all. but smugly announcing that you don’t like horror because you dislike a handful of VERY specific non-universal tropes is just as stupid as saying that you hate comedy because you don’t like adam sandler movies.

this is what I mean by anti-intellectualism btw

Covid doesn’t care about how many active cases there are, it takes the same amount of time of full lockdown to reach 0 cases.

Having arbitrary “scientific” thresholds to enter/leave different levels of “lockdown” just prolongs the pandemic. The only “safe” threshold is 0 new cases.

There is no scientific reason why having a lot of cases makes it harder to lockdown, there is no scientific reason to act like the pandemic’s “already too far gone” to act.

[zvaigzdelasas]

anyway this is still accurate & will never not be accurate for any airborne infectious disease

you do not have permission to stop caring about vampires just because october is over btw. vampires are a year round event

[assiraphales]

I love that heidi klum, international super model and tv personality, was like “I’m going to be a worm for halloween” and went for the most horrifying hyper realistic version possible and was quoted saying (in said worm outfit) ‘I want to put a smile on peoples faces’. ma’am I am gagging but I love that for u

[assiraphales]

she embodied it

[anxietyproblem]

[dilfhershellayton]

jojo siwa is like. her style is not my taste at all but as soon as other people call it annoying im like actually you're wrong she's an icon and a legend

[saxophonechihuahua]

she looks like the concentrated essence of a claires store and i do not mean this negatively

[hummingirls]

it’s the “fuck you” to the current trend of encouraging teenagers to look 24 and embracing girly things that cis men hate

[universejunction]

American Kawaii

[sexycraisinthanos]

she looks like someone turned a Skittles commercial into a person and i love it

[super-mario-girl]

If you don’t mind me putting my two cents:

I feel like Jojo Siwa’s style is reminiscent of the colorful teen girl fashion of the late 2000s and early 10s. Back then it was considered fashionable to use lots of colors, accessories, etc. Take a look at Jojo Siwa:

Very colorful, generous with sparkles and accessories. It’s meant to be fun!

If you were a kid in 2007-2012 you saw something similar in the clothing the teens in your sitcoms wore, although not as exaggerated. The fashion in Shake It Up(which came out in 2010) is a really good example of this:

(You may laugh, but this was the height of fashion to 13 year old me.)

The point is, Jojo’s aesthetic is similar to being a young pre teen girl walking into Limited Too for the first time.

And the reason cishet men hate it is because they don’t find it attractive. That’s why she’s often made fun of and used as a joke so much. Because that style doesn’t cater to the male gaze. It’s not for them, so it must be bad.

Cyndi Lauper, late 1980s, for your consideration.

[felicitousfeline]

Okay but you realize that the person who said "American Kawaii" has it exactly right, yea? That kawaii in Japan was created for girls to embrace cutesy juvenile things that refuted the beauty standards (created by men) that expected them to look mature and marriageable as soon as possible. It was over-the-top BECAUSE men hated it! Because the girls in the subculture specifically wanted to keep them away as long as they could and enjoy their childhood without being seen as Somebody's Future Wife™.

アメリカのカワイイです！

i do feel like.....idk, doggo culture or whatever has made people very comfortable with dogs and like. i obviously love dogs i have dedicated a lot of my life to dogs but dogs.....like, uh, kill people sometimes

[msburgundy-deactivated20230304]

there's been this weird shift from like when i was a kid and it was just customary that you didn't approach dogs you didn't know and you didn't touch a stranger's dog without permission to people feeling completely entitled to just touch your dog

to the point of disregarding and even arguing with you when you say no

i have an aggressive dog and the number of people who insist "well, dogs love me" and reach out to touch him anyway is ridiculous

i feel like culturally we've treated dogs so much like children that people have largely forgotten that at the end of the day they're still animals and animals are not always predictable, logical, or even safe

[motherish]

Cannot explain how this makes me feel.

Notice that the cop's response is to defend the hypothetical bad cop, not to distance himself and other cops from the bad cop.

If bad cops were rare, there'd be no desire whatsoever to defend them.

It's awesome how this woman is torpedoing the fuck out of the goodwill and respect voice actors have clawed their way into getting over the last few years for whatever Category 5 White Woman Moment bender she's currently on
