dead wife montage but it's a henchman reminiscing about da boss after he got put six feet under. picking flowers before hiding the bodies, wiping cocaine from your nose after a big night, that long drive down the beach to find the bookie who squealed. where did the days go

There's a somewhat-unstated division in social progressive circles that goes "being socially inept for autism reasons is fine, but being socially inept for regular reasons is bad and mockable." And then in practice everyone assumes it's for regular reasons when it comes up

sometimes i think love triangles should be resolved by polyamory but badly like everyone’s still mad

[panvani]

I think before you accuse people of being just like Christian conservatives for expressing discomfort with your public fetish for incest and child rape you should perhaps consider the primary advocates for and perpetrators of these acts of violence

[panvani]

Like ok sorry. Incest and child abuse are actually direct (intended) results of misogynistic, hegemonic power structures and are actually incredibly pervasive. I not only fail to see how your public fetish for misogynistic abuse is at all subversive (in fact I would call this a classic feature of heternormative sexuality) but also how your response to criticism is any different from any other misogynist calling victims of abuse hysterical bitches for expressing discomfort with the systems of power leveraged against them

[akissthroughtheglass]

This is a great post but even better are the replies, which perfectly illustrate the point. People are so reactive to any level of discomfort with their public sexuality that defenses ("fiction vs reality", etc) are deployed before an attack even takes place. You will be literally called hysterical and puritan without even expressing critique.

Not every taboo is subversive when broken. Not every expression of disapproval is a cultural indictment. But most importantly, if you're a person who dismisses critique like this, it would genuinely benefit you to ask yourself why you feel attacked by a very basic analysis of the things you fetishize.

Does sequestering sex play from analysis actually make any sense?

choosing to ignore my strangely symbolic dream

[tsarina-anadyomene]

thinking about skyrim sometimes feels like thinking about the maximally abstract idea of a video game

[tsarina-anadyomene]

or like there's a level of abstraction that's akin to dream logic. there are puzzles that aren't really puzzles but just represent the idea of a puzzle being there. there is combat without any sense of skill or strategy, the difficulty numbers are just a test of enduring the same thing for longer. there are hundreds of quests of shapeless nothing, nakedly directing you to fetch or clear or kill.

[tsarina-anadyomene]

it's seeing someone you know in a dream when they don't look like themselves. it's playing the video games they play on a nickelodeon sitcom in the 2000s. it's nonsense

that’s a fool’s errand. a jester’s chore, if you will. a real clown’s appointment

[throwingmenthols-deactivated202]

“all men are complicit in sexism and benefit from misogyny” is stating the function of a system in society, not demonizing men’s interiority. twisting that statement into some sort of insidious lie about men’s character in order to refute it on the basis that some men are good is disingenuous. there have been hundreds of thousands of good, kind men who have benefitted from misogynistic systems bc they are systems, not schools of thought or beliefs
