a story about tits

Terrific story from R.S. Benedict of "Everyone is Beautiful and No One is Horny" fame; dark and funny and gross in all the best ways.

honestly, best writing i have read. i am awe of the writing style, the organization, analysis, conclusions, pacing - just masterful. sharp commentary and critiques of cultures and cinema.

EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL AND NO ONE IS HORNY

MODERN ACTION AND SUPERHERO FILMS FETISHIZE THE BODY, EVEN AS THEY DESEXUALIZE IT.

Everyone Is Beautiful and No One Is Horny - Blood Knife

The human body has become a strange contradiction at the heart of the modern blockbuster. Sexy, yes. But sexual? No.

the author of this article that’s currently circulating made this tweet that incited a round of discourse i could not escape seeing with my eyes. making this connection felt like one of those shakes you get when you stop taking your SSRIs.

Losing my mind at this twitter thread where a novella writer goes from claiming that fanfiction encourages poor writing to accusing fanfic writers of being misogynists who are feeding murderous corporations with their hobby

A body is no longer a holistic system. It is not the vehicle through which we experience joy and pleasure during our brief time in the land of the living. It is not a home to live in and be happy.
