surely one of the top ten dale cooper autism moments

its kind of distressing how you can tell a lot of people see popular indie artists and writers and such as like "a Celebrity but one which i stand a half decent chance of bullying to death"

Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?

Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw

Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.

I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS

I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.

Don’t make me point to the Omar Sakar poem

nimmieamee

I have not read fanfic in some time.

But now.

Now I went to ao3.

And across many fandoms it’s all the same.

Fic.

Fic where every line is a new point of emphasis.

Not just emphasis.

Every line says the next set of reactions, words, description, or emotions have to be set off.

In a new line.

Like this.

Paragraphs can’t be longer than a sentence, not ever.

It’s like the writers have never read a book.

Like they’ve trained themselves to write by reading the floating closed captions that appear.

Sentence by sentence.

Sometimes just word by word.

One thought at a time.

In a short form video.

Maybe it’s AI.

Maybe, though, people just stopped knowing how to write.

This isn’t how stories should work.

Each fanfic an inadvertent poem.

In 5000 words.

Or more.

Sometimes it’s more.

For so many chapters, every line.

Every line a new emphasis.

Imagine if someone talked to you like this.

Imagine a story where nothing varied.

They say we let out breaths we didn’t know we were holding.

What if, every time, every line, every minor moment felt like that.

Like a breath.

A breath you dumbasses keep letting out.

Over, and over.

With never an inhale in between.

That’s not a breath.

That’s a fart.

A long, long fart.

How the fuck does this not annoy you.

queer rep goes thru these cycles where every couple of years lgbt people are like "we get no rep in media and the representation we do get is way too sanitized and it feels so fake and flat. wheres the queer characters that are messy and flawed and REAL??"

then someone gets brave and makes a character who is a real bastard and makes all the wrong choices and is maybe even malicious at times and they make this character explicitly queer. and then fans are like "this is what you think of us?? worst representation ever" and the creator gets absolutely lambasted, ESPECIALLY if theyre queer themselves

then everyone else sees this and either thinks its too risky to include a queer character, or wants to make sure they're only doing the good and nice representation with no flaws or mistakes

then queer people are like "we get no rep in media and the representation we do get is way too sanitized and

why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic

ivy-michaels

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Capitalism is disgusting.

fuckblast

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

ivy-michaels

What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.

I just remembered that this was a thing that was HILARIOUS in 2006 and apparently that was ten years ago now.

Old people: join with me in remembering how funny we found this on LiveJournal.

Young people: look at this lolrus, it’s so happy, it has a bucket.

And then they stealed away the bucket and we realised we had fucked up a perfectly good elephant seal and given it anxiety.

pipistrellus

listen this vintage meme is high quality and i will hear nothing said against it

rhube

20 years. I am not happy about this.

demonicsymphony

I’m delighted at the bucket reappearing but dismayed at the passage of time

luminouspica

Happy 20 years to Lolrus and his bucket!

Absolutely exhausting to see people's response to "hating men ultimately leads to all types of transphobia. It doesn't belong in feminist spaces and ultimately harms everyone involved. Hating men is in fact not decentering men." And seeing half the comments be "well trans men are all evil misogynists who need to die" or "maybe I wouldn't hate trans men if they stopped acting like they're oppressed" YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM

voyageviolet

Fundamentally, hating one gender means you have to have a strict (usually binary) definition of gender. Hatred does not allow room for a nuanced understanding of people’s lives, so you can’t say “I only hate those people” without catching others in the crossfire.

miseria-fortes-viros

your weird obsession with moral purity is degrading your critical thinking skills and poisoning your ability to empathize with other people btw

pizzaback

teenagers aren’t the vanguards of the pro-censorship movement. the closest thing that happens to this is that bad actors who are adults exploit teenagers’ age-appropriate discomfort with violent and sexual art to incite internet stochastic terrorism campaigns. but even this happens far less often than adults just silencing children and pretending to be speaking for them by proxy.

pizzaback

i hate the misuse of the term “puritanism” in this context but the idea of teens (“puriteens”) being the principle driving demographic behind this cultural trend is genuinely pretty fucking insulting, considering adults who use kids and teens as a cudgel (“think of the children!”) are actually the people driving movements toward censorship.

Thanks to everyone who filled out the survey. The results are in and they are so fascinating, and I'm stoked to share them with you!

Honestly I’m a little disappointed at the penetration page! Every option makes the assumption that it’s the person with the penis (or toy or w/e) who’s the active partner. There are no words that portray the receptive partner as active, like “enveloped,” “encompassed,” “swallowed,” or even “embraced.”

I know that’s not usually how authors write about it, but I wish someone would use words that are more inclusive.

The Trump administration is cynically exploiting calls for stricter AI regulation to pass broad censorship measures at the federal level.

So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.

So, if you live in the US and hate censorship and AI you know what to do, contact your congresspeople and tell them do not fucking dare let this through or so help us god...
