it's just really apparent that people think it's okay to want pain but morally abhorrent to want to give it. sorry but the sadist gets to have fun too. it's actually pretty crucial to the process.

if I said I was going to a taekwondo class would you feel the need to tell me kicking people on the street is bad or.

Been thinking a lot about my 6th grade teacher who, when we were learning about the Holocaust and I was all,"RIP to the Germans. I would simply not be evil," looked me dead in the eye and said, "you don't know that. No one doing these things thought of themselves as bad people. They thought they were being right and just. They weren't inherently evil people. They were just people. " And the idea that I could unknowingly cause such a great amount of harm while being none the wiser scared me so bad it fundamentally rewired my brain, and made me a more thoughtful, empathetic person.

Because I never again thought of myself as an inherently good person. But as an average person susceptible to the banality of evil. And the only antidote was rigoursly inspecting my own assumptions and beliefs and learning about other people's.

Just wishing more people had that experience and also very very grateful.

We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife

Ok listen I get that people tagging posts with men is a rule of physics on this hellsite but it's kind of bizarre how badly some of you have failed the assignment on this one. A generic male protagonist archetype who is a man is nothing. That's just the normal cliche I'm talking about subverting. What?

Commanding that the heinous term shall not be uttered in the halls of their sacred temple, the cloistered enclave of truest of the true believers declared Wednesday that Father-Brother, His Holiness, Master of All The Spheres and Stars, has repeatedly stated that this is not a cult. “For the ninth and final time, this is not a cult but a programmatic intramental polysymbolic thought-system for enhancing mental paravirility and omnispiritual psychowellness as clearly stated in Protocol 117,” said Elder Healer Sister-Brother Camilla 82 Eridani, adding that this is the exact sort of transgram-sodden thought violation from which all must refrain, as that is the type of word used by those that seek to sow division amongst us.

My tags are too long so I'm writing a reply instead, something I never do.

What I've seen living up north all my life is the huge emotional stock lots of cishet white men put into football, especially during events like the world cup.

If the stats are true that domestic violence increases regardless of win, lose or draw, then that speaks volumes about how unhealthy the emotional investment is.

Because usually these men are going to the pub. Not taking their wives or kids. They're going with mates and drinking alcohol for at least the duration of the match, usually longer. They're loud and unrestrained and are allowed to feel angry or happy or upset, just for the small amount of time the match is on, because all their male peers are doing the same.

So when the match is over, they're either left with a high they can't maintain without the match and the circumstances around it, or they're left in a low emotional state with no healthy outlet. Either way, their family always comes off worse because outside of footie night, dad has no other way of properly expressing or experiencing his own emotions.

This has been happening all my life and definitely longer, and it's an age-old symptom of toxic masculinity, of men shutting off their feelings (and subsequently being overwhelmed by them), of putting all their energy into something that actually has no bearing on their own lives but makes them feel accepted by their peers.

And as ever, women bear the brunt of it.

The culture around sports has to change. The fact that this is still such a huge problem is appalling.
