i dont think straight people should be allowed to do "enemies to lovers" i think if a man is your enemy you need to trust that you were correct the first time and slay him in battle

[fluentisonus]

they're trying to get me to do something called ""my job"" instead of reading about medieval english poaching laws

[aropride]

media: we have an anti-authoritarian story for you!

me: sweet hit me with the good stuff

media: so there's this marginalized underclass of people, right?

me: okay

media: and they're like, stigmatized for something that's mostly an aspect of how they are born, or where they're from, or they're badly misunderstood, right?

me: yup, got it, I'm with ya

media: so these people are rebelling against the current social order, because it's the instrument of their suffering

me: oh good great sure

media: but also they're violent and deranged and need to be stopped

me: ...what

media: yeah they're going too far, they're trying to overthrow the system and assassinate the nice cop trying to help them and also they burned down an orphanage

me: ...why? would they burn down an orphanage??

media: extremism is bad

me: still not seeing what this has to do with their fight though???

media: also now they've shot a dog. oops they shot another dog

me: what?! why? I though their motive was to overthrow oppression??

media: yes but their suffering has also made them evil

me: ...???

media: don't worry though, the good guys will defeat them and restore the status quo

me: the status quo that's been killing people?

media: well it turns out it was only killing the kinds of awful people who burn down orphanages and shoot dogs :)

me: oh. this is actually a pro-authoritarian story, isn't it?

media: nooo of course not don't be sillyyyyyy we're super progressive look one of the cops is a black lady don't be sillyyyyyy

it's easy to make fun of marxists for being like "we have a special way of understanding society called Thinking About Things That Are Real" but to be fair if you ask the average person what their ideas about society are based on they will start listing some of the Least Real things to ever not exist

I think everyone should have a mutual who is way more critical of your favourite media than you are because one day they'll be proven right and you'll want to gently kiss them on the forehead.

i am all for being critical of academia as an institution but many scholars are actually doing incredibly important work and their expertise is extremely valuable and not like anything you will find from some rando on tumblr dot com. you guys.

Hating on AI because it plagiarizes or makes bad art really undercuts the main purpose of AI being invested for in the first place; for surveillance and warfare.

[lesbianshepard]

It's gotten to the point where someone describing media as a "turn your brain off and have fun!" thing just pisses me off. I don't want to turn my brain off. I would like to keep it on to have fun.

adult life is truly just thinking “I NEED TO CLEAN” while dealing with the 17 other things that have a hard deadline

[crithir]

I don’t know if I’ve yet seen a more perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong than a post that superimposes the text of the Lesmand scene in Memnoch over the Big Boss scene in TVL, emphasis on the curl touching. Take something beautiful and complex, make it ugly, nasty, and degraded.

stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.
