I had to stop smoking sativa because whenever I smoked sativa at parties I would turn into an absolute menace and start bullying men specifically for no reason. I turned into public enemy number one of college boys

Ok so I flip butterfly knives as a hobby. I have a practice knife that is completely blunt. Anyways, I smoked too much sativa at a party once and started flipping my practice knife (which I do as a stim when I’m high). This frat boy asked me if I had an edible I could give him. I held my knife to his throat and told him to beg. I didn’t even have an edible to give him. Another time a guy told me to smile and I told him to say something funny. He stuttered uselessly for a while and when I he didn’t produce anything funny I told him he was a failure. Another time this guy barked at me (I am visibly goth and on this night was in full tradgoth mode) and I went up to him, completely serious, told him to sit, then lay down, then roll over. When he didn’t do any of those things, I said he was a terrible fucking dog, and told him he should get put down. Anyhow, that’s why I don’t do sativa anymore.

I think you should only smoke sativa and smoke way more of it

Oh my god. I need to share another story of my new friend making today. So my friends husband says, very casually, as we’re about to leave for the ren faire, “Yeah, it’s like my story about fucking a chicken.”

And of the four people present I was the only one who was shocked. The others all nodded as if to say, yes yes, we know, the chicken fucking.

So he explained, when a progressive person is analyzing a behavior they will typically use the metric, Harm/No Harm. They may not like things in the No Harm category but they wouldn’t object.

Conversely, a more conservative mindset used something like eight metrics. Authority/No Authority Moral/Not Moral, things like that.

So, he posited if you want to sound out someone’s mindset (and you’re willing to live with the repercussions) you can ask: if a man buys a dead chicken from the store, cleans it thoroughly, then fucks it, and then eats it himself…?

I listened in dawning horror, both rapt and disgusted. But into the growing pause I whispered, “No harm…” because it really has no effect on me or anyone else if a man fucks a dead chicken. I don’t like it, I think he’s a weird dude, but like. That’s his dick. But a more conservative person will hear that and object on moral grounds despite not being harmed.

It’s been haunting me all day, so please enjoy.

I know you’re joking but this joke is absolutely the point. You’ve assigned a moral judgement to the act, rather than acknowledging it as not harmful.

In the current climate sex has so many moral judgements applied, and I can tell you that perfectly bland every day people do some Crazy Sex Stuff. When I worked at a sex shop they’d tell me all about it. It didn’t preclude them to murder or being serial killers. If someone wants to fuck a warm cantaloupe or a dead chicken it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t harm me or anyone else.

Your morals should not be applied to anyone else’s sex life unless there’s actual harm, and a time where public indecency laws are rearing their heads again creeping toward the immoral queers, it’s something to actively push against.

To read more about the serious research underlying this, look up Moral Foundations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory). The original hypothesis has five or six axes, along which different people make different value judgments:

Care/Harm

Fairness/Cheating

Loyalty/Betrayal

Authority/Subversion

Sanctity/Degradation

Liberty/Oppression

One of the features of conservative populism is that it leans heavily on Sanctity/Degradation for its emotional hook. You can see this in their revulsion at queer sex acts, for example, but it's also a feature of propaganda that casts some races/ethnicities as "dirty" or "filthy" or "animals". Mis-casting these feelings of revulsion as something they should have the Liberty to put into law - rather than something which writing laws about would constitute Oppression of others - is a key feature of modern conservative/traditional movements.

Dr. Jer Clifton has done similar work on a 26-dimensional measurement of attitudes that he calls "Primal World Beliefs" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primal_world_beliefs). In one sense these theories are both really reductive... but in another they're incredibly useful for understanding what makes an argument so compelling to others when it sounds preposterous to you.

One more reason you should care: the people who build the structure of political campaigns absolutely have read these theories, and use them to structure their broad arguments.

This post got way more scholarly than I expected for starting with hypothetical chicken-fucking.

im not even the type of guy to go "actually it's frankenstein's MONSTER" because a painting by rembrandt or picasso or any other artist is often called "a rembrandt" or "a picasso" as shorthand. so in this respect frankenstein's monster can be considered "a frankenstein"

parkayquarts

darling I love your 8 foot tall patchwork flesh creature, it really livens up the place. is that an authentic frankenstein?

parkayquarts

it's only a true frankenstein if it was produced in the frankenstein region of switzerland. otherwise it's just a sparkling homunculus

Something that gave H.P. Lovecraft nightmares is the work of my favorite artist. In "At the Mountains of Madness" he specifically mentions "the strange and disturbing Asian paintings of Nicholas Roerich."

This is what Roerich's paintings look like:

The difference. The fucking difference in how the world perceives Tomura and how the LOV perceives him. He was their hero, he listened to them, never judged them for who they were, and told them that they didn't have to suffer. If the world was hurting them he would hurt the world back..

You did it, Tomura, you really did it

You were their hero

#and when he tells deku to tell spinner that he destroyed until the end #not anyone else #just spinner because he knew that spinner did look up to him #the only one that looked for guidance in shigaraki so the only one that really needed those words #to assure that spinner knew that he'd died fighting for their ideals and for them #crazy #bnha manga spoilers

currently reading the chapter 382 of bnha and SHinsou just showed up and i can't help but laugh because i thought that it was rough for class 1a to face shigaraki right in the first season, but right now i cant even compare it with Shinsou having to go fight at the same place as all for one
