#power trips

Something I’ve noticed is that parents who highkey bully their kids under the guise of “preparing them for the Real World” really, really hate when their kids deal with them like they would the rest of the world instead of making Well-Wisher Exceptions.

I used to do this unhealthy thing where I have in the past enjoyed emasculating men.

For example I had a friend who I thought was portraying or projecting his masculinity to profoundly in front of me, so I picked him up and said this is to make you feel less of a man. He had no reaction what so ever, I told him to continue what he was doing and he did. I Don't know why I did that.

I think having my Moon Square Mars and my Venus opposite Mars may contribute to this. I've always had these weird power trips with men.

I feel like I still do this to this day but on a more toned down level and I still get enjoyment out of it and it's super not cool of me and I'm aware of it

However it is not as Extreme as it used to be.

Mr. Institution

Corrupted by your power misusin' and abusin' Within an intricate web of collusions Promoting self-dilution By producing such false illusions That reinforce social exclusion Any hope for restitution Has proven to be mere delusion Weakened by the internal contusions Made weary by incessant confusion Those who bear the burden of preclusion Indefinitely, branded as public obtrusion Mr. Institution, We impatiently await your execution The only resolution is revolution A fusion of souls in accordance with choosin To reject your parasitic transfusions And be replenished by a love profusion

(via What Would the World be Like if Peaceful Video Games Were More Popular Than Hyper-Violent Ones?)

“’You had space marines and corridor shooters, and they became huge,’ Murray tells me. ‘They became the main focus of the industry, to the point where you could look at the line up—even now—for Christmas releases, and it'd be Halo vs Crysis vs Gears of War or whatever. But if you took a layman to those games, they might not be able to tell what screenshot came from which game, pretty much. We became super generic in those terms, to an outsider at least. We're trying to explore other ideas. About openness, and vastness, and freedom. More about feelings of real exploration. That's our alternate history. It's not like it's better or anything—it's just that style has been forgotten a little bit.’

Would the last 20-odd years have been different—for games and those who play them—had Myst been the template upon which more titles were based? Would gaming culture have been less male dominated, a friendlier place to tweet in? Would video games have avoided being dragged through the tabloid press in the wake of the Columbine massacre and Anders Behring's rampage of 2011? Perhaps. Maybe we'd all be a little friendlier to each other right now, in person and online, with multiplayer games emphasizing cooperation over annihilation.”
