women are like diamonds: synthetically-produced women are not meaningfully different from naturally-formed women, and anyone trying to tell you otherwise is probably trying to justify keeping their women mines open

Posts that just fundamentally misunderstand horror movies like The Thing, that have thousands of notes, are turning me into the joker.

[cipheramnesia]

"The thing is only acting in self defense because it gets attacked first"

The very first experience it has with the base crew is that they save it from people shooting at it, give it warm hugs, and kill the people trying to deatroy it. After that it attacks and impersonates an unknown (at the time) member of the crew. After that it gets surrounded by dogs who are angry but too scared to approach, then it changes, then it attacks the huskies, and only then does anyone in the base camp treat it with hostility.

You can imagine anything you want for the unknowns (before the movie starts, whether it can tell animals apart, etc), but you are fully wrong if you characterize its reception as being preemptively attacked. You can interpret things lots of ways, but saying the humans at the camp attack it first is factually wrong.

[cipheramnesia]

"None of the men know each other enough to recognize an impersonation."

The entire first act of the movie is devoted to establishing that they know each other with an Intimacy so deep they can anticipate one another's actions and attitudes. They have been in an isolated arctic base for months and months where they can barely leave the same building. They are in one another's personal space throughout the movie. It's a vital plot point that the Thing can immitate people down to memories and personality traits. It's a vital metaphorical point as well. It's so deeply and fundamentally superficial and factually incorrect to call them unfamiliar with each other that it implies total inattention to what is happening on screen.

There are so, so many completely reasonable ways to read ideas of social disaffectation, queerness, and more into the text of the movie without misrepresenting the factual text. I'm screaming and crying and throwing up blood, what else would everyone like to propose about horror movies that sounds great aside from being entirely spurious? Someone told me psychological thrillers are the only good horror movies an hour and a half ago, we could start there. I want people to think in these ways about horror but also talking about it in a way that depends on the the text of the film does require a certain amount of knowing the actual text of the film.

[cipheramnesia]

Actually I think this is important tags that speak to a larger idea about horror conversation:

The Thing is, at heart, not a movie about any singular decision or behavior creating a bad outcome. Baked into the 1982 movie is failure, death, entropy, inevitable loss. It's not a movie that's meant to have a right solution, or a right decision - but when someone comes at this very bleak story without a good grounding in horror, there's a kind of urge to treat it like a puzzle. If only they were closer. If only they communicated.

That's not meeting it where it's at, because it rests on a situation where none of those elements really exist. People acted the best they could in the circumstances with the tools and information they had - and it simply was not enough. Nearly everyone dies. Even with the ambiguous ending, whoever is human is going to die, because it's winter in Antarctica and he is hundreds of miles from anywhere with no shelter and no food and no transportation. That's the sort of horror it is, the idea that when faced with extinction humanity's best efforts won't succeed. Creating an interpretation where if we had "just" this or that is shying away from the bleakness. But at the same time, not facing up to the idea that some things really might not be solvable, that the worst can happen in spite of it all, is a necessary skill. Not one we need to indulge in constantly, but we should have that knowledge.

And in a greater capacity, this is where I see things go very wrong when someone unfamiliar with or disdainful of horror tries to expound on the genre. It comes from a place of not wanting bad things to happen - not rose colored glasses or naivete - but not wanting the animal to die, not wanting the house to burn, not wanting the parents to lose a child. Not wanting to feel sick or hurt, a normal and human response to a genre which constantly steps over those lines, and quite often does so artlessly and with nothing but puerile shock at heart. That makes it difficult to examine in good faith, and wanting to see horror as something good for oneself leads most people to look for the places where horror doesn't stray close to the boundaries. Solving the problem of "bad horror" by presenting horror comedy or psychological thrillers as better side of horror, for example. But that's just another case of wanting to solve something that doesn't exist to have a solution. Part of getting the genre is recognizing not only that bad things happen in horror, but the ugly and awful and transgressive side is not a mistaken choice, not an error. It's part of what horror is, like a person, you can't understand it without understanding what you dislike along with what you like. Horror can't be corrected out of a set of flaws, those have to be accepted as part of seeing the genre as a whole.

Do you remember the episode of Spongebob where he's training gary for the snail race and does a coach persona + calls gary a girl and has an aside where he's like "I called you a lady to demean you 🤓" and right after he says that it cuts to sandy and she somehow telepathically feels that Spongebob just did something misogynistic and us like I feel like I need to kick Spongebobs ass for some reason. And then she appears just at the end of the episode to kick his ass.

Several important informations: The first tweet is from "Jon de Lorraine". He is a french influencer acting like a journalist, even though he isn't a professional. He pretends his informations are neutral when they aren't. Finding informations about him is very difficult and this fact alone is alarming. People who can be trusted with informations don't hide who they are in the first place. After hours of researches, I finally found an official article talking about his political beliefs and oh surprise, he's close to the french far-right movement. He advocates for things that are popular to gain attention so the most unpopular beliefs he has (racism, sexism, etc) can be seen as acceptable when mingled with all the "right" things he does. It's a common strategy used by the alt-right, you can learn more about it here. So yeah. Be careful about who you follow and what they're advocating for and be very warry of people who pretend they don't have any agenda. People like him are dangerous because they lack transparency about their real goal. As for Paul Walsh, he isn't a professionnal in informations either, and doesn't give any sources as far as I can tell. It doesn't mean he's wrong. I honestly don't know and don't have time to do more researches than I already did. But it's important to keep in mind we NEED to be careful about informations we receive, from whom, how and why. Paul Walsh present himself as an "Expert in online safety and privacy (fraud, espionage, phishing)" but I couldn't find how he got said expertise and if it means he has real knowledge about what he's talking about in this post.

Be warry of "neutral" people who are just one person pretending to inform you all by themselves. Information is something hard to handle. Reason why official journalists has a whole process to follow before writing and sharing an article. Follow real independent medias with people being honest about their goal, who they are and how they work (and for whom). Don't fall for the cult of personnality. If you look for informations about someone trying to "inform" you and it's hard to understand who they are and how to hold them accountable when they fuck up, run away.

Why is it important? Because the tweet "Jon de Lorraine" posted is missing crucial informations in my opinion, even though his alert is more or less accurate. He simply rase rage without giving tools. But if we want to take action, we need context. We need to understand the timeline. We need to understand who is doing what and when.

So here are the few informations I gathered: Controlling internet is something people of power are trying to do over and over again since many years. Last year (2025), the European parliament made a proposal for a new law called "the draft EU Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) Regulation" that has been called out under the name of "Chat Control" by a network of european associations (for my french fellas, "La Quadrature du Net" is part of this network). The 9 of July 2026, what they call "Chat Control 1.0" passed even though a majority of voting members opposed this regulation. For the association network mentionned above, it's a critical blow against democracy itself. They are now making a "Chat Control 2.0" and representative will have to vote for or against it in September 2026. I'm learning the details as I am writing this, and it's hard for me to make sure the informations is easy and accessible because I'm not a professional and I know very few things about all of this. All I know is that you can : learn more here Overall and from the informations I gathered, I think this law and the projects around it are dangerous. But the devil hides in details and we all should try to understand exactly what is going on when so much is at stakes. If you reach the same conclusion as me (this law project is dangerous), you can contact your representatives to ask them to stand against this project. For now, only one country in europe is against it, and it's Italy.

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovajia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden supports it. Other countries are split. If you think I'm mistaken or that the informations I found aren't reliable, please tell me. Thank you.

It is not enough that Elon Musk should die, nor even that he should die penniless, friendless, alone, and in pain. It is necessary, as a matter of moral certitude, that his death be utterly and completely mundane and explicable in its every particular. such clear and inarguable must it be that no true crime podcaster or history channel could ever inject it with falsified intrigue in the name of a quick buck; it must be so plain and clear that every four-year-old who heard of it would nod sagely in understanding.
