It is so unsettling that Obama has killed thousands via drones covered up that children were being killed and families were wiped out and relatives have to live with the fact theyll never get justice and now I have to see people repost his reading list every year. Liberals would be horrified if Putin did something like that but when its Obama or Bush or Clinton they just dont care

Me when I read a book by a famous author that’s a modern classic and everyone says it’s really good and then it’s really good

I have been very impressed with how well Chainsaw Man's second arc has gender-coded its story to go along with its shift in protagonist. Denji's arc is ofc the most masculine thing this genre could stomach, and I dont just mean Denji (though, I mean, he is definitely included). Aki is the opposite of Denji but only within the bounds of the hyper-masculine crime horror noir genre they inhabit, even Power is a girl who could only exist as a shounen GF. Its all lust and revenge and missions and The System, man.

Meanwhile Asa's world is just as crapsack horror but its the way an emo teen girl would see it. The monsters are peer oppression and ennui and social belonging and figuring out relationships, Asa's struggle is about obtaining self-agency vs. Denji's material autonomy. The choice to flip to a school setting was really smart for this, jettisons the whole trope edifice of the law/crime genre, inescapablly masculine, for a world built for these new struggles.

And that switch is done while highly parallelizing the two mains; Denji can't realize his desires, Asa can't accept or understand them, but in practice that works out kindof the same. While writing this i saw FireSisterBee showcasing some screenshots of the two:

Which is A: a hilariously gendered way of expressing the same feeling, I couldn't say it better myself. And B: if I said "Denji feels like he is being used for his body" ...you really can't say I am saying anything wrong, that is an accurate summary. Through gendering the aesthetic of their arcs to highlight the contrast, the universality of their joint struggle actually becomes more apparent, not less. It's neat!

(Though I do think Fujimoto's guy-ness comes through a bit in how devoid of physical lust Asa is. That happens ofc, more often with females than with males, but it's not the default, and definitely not the default for a teen girl. It's definitely a genre/literary trope, however, so I think that influence is showing)

I need 80$ today not only because if I fail to pay my phone bill, my phone is unusable, but because the phone company will then forbid me to pay in mensualities so as to relieve myself from the cost. (For the "get a job" advisors, I suffer, sober, from sudden blackouts outside and find myself walking into walls and falling into escalators as chronic symptoms. Not to mention gnarly OCD, severe depression, fatigue, and CPSTD).

"he can't write women" is crazy because its not like women are aliens or whatever but i guess men dont see women as people so it all adds up huh!!!!

[glamfellens]

perhaps i am missing something but i just dont understand how this is an issue that is struggled with by men. i know i answered my own question above but sometimes i'm floored by the stupidity of it yknow.

[glamfellens]

and then these guys will sit at the top of best selling lists and be considered giants of the genres they write for. its fine i guess

You have to careful about masturbating to your imagination cause god doesn’t know about imagination so he will assume you are jacking off to whatever is around you like dust, a dead bug, birds nest. And if you jerk off to a poisonous bug (or if god assumes you have) then you do go to hell
