"All religions are cults if you think about it"

Actually they're not all cults and you're doing the work of making sure actual cults can slip under the radar when you say stuff like that

Cult leaders LOVE that trend, because they can point to it and say, "people will call anything a cult, it's basically meaningless"

I'm begging you all to stop using the word cult until you really understand what it means

Rule of thumb: if you voluntarily stopped showing up a couple weeks in a row, what would happen?

If the answer is “nothing,” or “well, people wouldn’t like it but also wouldn’t do anything about it,” or, “my mom would be disappointed,” it’s not a cult.

If the answer is “people would come to my house to try to get me to come back” or “I’d start getting shunned or actively harassed by almost everyone I know” or “that could never happen because you’re not allowed to,” it’s a cult!

avengers doomsday trailer is so fucking embarrassing bro it's like watching an aging celebrity try to relive their greatest hits

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

it's so rote now... ooooh here's 72 actors you recognize making shocked faces at a greenscreen. ominous narration to let you know that this is definitely the scariest thing we've ever had to fight. we wheeled Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan out of the retirement home to fag it up again. are you entertained. are you reaching for your wallets yet.

I've never seen anything more soulless in my life tbh. I've never wanted to see a movie crash and burn more. let it be dead so marvel studios can get on with being a spirit halloween already.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

people tagging this with Russo brother hate as if any other director(s) wouldn't have gotten the same brief for the exact same big budget cgi disaster movie crossover schlock are so funny. there's no world where this was a boundary-pushing art film babes I'm sorry. you're ordering milkshakes at the hardware store

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

this is genuinely so fucked. they can't keep getting away with this.

I think it's actually healthy to have at least one life aspiration that's abnormal to want and impracticable to achieve. It lends a sense of perspective.

Cannot stand the trend of censoring any and all words that describe concepts that might make you go :( especially when the censoring is done in that quarter-assed way that's just 'did a lil scribble over a vowel so you know that I know this word describes a no-no."

I'm not even going to be vague about what sparked this. Do not fucking censor the word 'stole.' I'm at my fucking limit.

Is there a word for occupying the space where normies think you're a freak and freaks think you're a normie?

I tell a woman with a 9 to 5 office job about the slightly niche speculative fiction novel I just finished and she goes "Oh, that's...interesting. I hadn't heard of that."

I tell a grungy chick I met at a dive bar about the same book and she kinda scoffs and goes "Okay" like I said my favorite show is Sesame Street

[elucubrare]

You’ve heard of “i didn’t say it was good, i said i liked it,” get ready for “i said it had some technical problems & didn’t fully deliver on its themes, not that i didn’t like it”

[elucubrare]

#I voiced a criticism of some of its aspects#which in no way implies I did not like it#“and especially does not imply that I would like to hear a defense of it of the form 'shut up and let people have fun'”

"You'd stop being someone's friend if they support Trump?"

Yes, I would. In fact, that's literally the first thing I can think of when brainstorming "What could my friend do that would make me stop being their friend?"

I know that people aren't perfect. I know that people have done bad things in the past, sometimes things that are unforgivable. I know that people can occasionally hurt others when they're overwhelmed. I know that people are frequently selfish. I know that in a society in which cruelty is normalized, people can pick up bad habits.

But Trump supporters are a whole new level of cruelty. They're trying to legitimize their cruelty, and they're currently succeeding. Being their friend is enabling them.
