IN A WORLD WHERE BEAUTY AND ATTRACTIVENESS HAVE BECOME SO COMMONPLACE AND MUNDANE THE EXCEPTIONAL UGLINESS HAS BECOME DIVINE
I SAW AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR A CAR THAT LOOKS LIKE EVERY OTHER CAR AND THEY COMPARED IT TO A UNUSUAL UGLY LITTLE VEHICLE AND ITS STRANGENESS WAS FAR MORE CAPTIVATING THAN THE SLEEK BORING CAR THE AD WAS ACTUALLY FOR

Okay but replace the sandwiches with dicks and Joseph is going to TOWN. You know he’s gargling. You know he’s slobbering. Positioned to give himself some good leverage you know this is not his first nor will it be his last time. Slut.

Happy for some reason? Here’s why it’s actually ableist for you to enjoy your life and also I’m super envious and bitter cause I’ve now created a fantasy version of your life in my head built around this isolated snapshot and in my fantasy of your life you’re living the life I wish I was living and I resent/admire/lust after you for having the life I feel entitled to in my fantasy

something about stuff like "reading diversity bingo" puts a bad taste in my mouth. i feel like a lot of readers treat the works of marginalized authors as, like, a chore they have to complete to be Morally Good rather than just... art worth enjoying? i highly encourage all readers to branch out beyond cishet white guy authors but like... if you're doing it because you think you have to rather, than just finding books by a wide range of authors you like, that's something you need to unpack.
white people, black authors are not your medicine by yaa gyasi
ID: So many of the writers of colour that I know have had white people treat their work as though it were a kind of medicine. Something they have to sallow to improve their condition, but they don't really want it. they don't really enjoy it, and if they're being totally honest, they don't actually even take the medicine half the time. They just buy it and leave it on the shelf. What pleasure, what deepening, could there be in "reading" like that? To enter a world of fiction with such a tainted mission is to doom the novel or short story to fail you on its most essential levels.
Offense intended, some of you are dumb
Like some of you are whole adults who still believe that the world operates in extremes of What Is Good and What Is Bad and that these things exist at polar opposite ends of a straight road, where every possible morally ambiguous thing must fit tidily along that line.
Someone will make the very reasonable point that Hollywood is oversexualised and often sex scenes in movies are uncomfortable because the tone and characterisations don't support the plot halting for sex, and it's clear the (usually male) director just inserted the scene for his own gratification, often with an unevenly sexualized attention on the women in the scene, sometimes demeaning or undermining that woman's character arc... and some of you demons will respond to that like "Bah! You naive puritan! Go marry the Hayes code if you love it so much!"
And equally someone else will make the valid point that sex and eroticism should be explorable in media, particularly to increase representation for queer/disabled/poc groups who often have limited (or no) sexual agency in mainstream media, and these scenes should not be subject to censorship... and some self described Smol Bean on this site will tell you that sex is never necessary on screen and you can just "suggest" that these "activities" are happening
And instead of being moderate and critically thinking individuals, thousands of you will just grab your pitchforks and flock to one of these two extreme reactions as being the "correct" mentality, sending hate (Why??) to people who disagree with you as if any of us here have meaningful power over how sex is handled in popular media
Any way long story short you're being dumb
ever since i heard the phrase “outrage addiction” a *lot* of online behavior has really been clicking into place for me. because like, righteous anger feels good. to feel like you’re fighting for a cause is another avenue for dopamine production. and places like twitter and facebook get that and understand that outrage is a great method for maintaining engagement on their platform, which is why their algorithms drive it. but republicans also understand it and have been using it as their core political strategy for decades, and you see it replicated on this hellsite plenty as well, although probably less consciously/more organically than elsewhere. it feels good to be justifiably angry and to tear something down, and i think a lot of users have begun to seek that out without realizing that’s what they’re doing.
