It's still tiresome dealing with tankies, leftists, and other morons. Reblogging from someone doesn't mean I endorse everything they've said. I shouldn't have to say that, but we live in the age of the idiot.

A lot going on here. Mainly, the abortion apparently happening to a toddler

[khorneschosen]

I am pro-choice but I have to really say this to the other pro-choicers in the room. The man is mourning what could have been thus a toddler.

Yes it is her choice. Yes, she has the full right to do it but that doesn't mean it is consequence free for every party involved.

And this is by the way, why all of you fail because you take not just this position but the same position as the woman in the comic and treats the consequences to all parties involved as things which do not deserve judgment even within their own lives.

[meangirlnurse]

critical thinking questions!

who made this social media post? does that affect the way people interact with its contents?

are characters in comics real people with feelings?

what do you think motivated the poster to create this comic? were they depicting a real life scenario, or could there be some alternative agenda here? could this affect the way people react to this post?

what does the phrasing "victims of abortion" imply? could this affect the way people react to this post?

[khorneschosen]

1. Its a pro life group, and if you have to look in every horse mouth before you know if you are allowed to listen, then understand you aren't thinking, not even critically. You are doing the equivalent of checking a social credit score. You are socially seeing how who you are hearing aligns with you before you allow yourself to listen, think, and agree or disagree.

2. No. Because its a fucking comic. You understand how representation works right?

3. It could be a real life experience dramatized in comic book form. Or it could be merely representative but if you think that there isn't someone who wanted to be a father upon hearing that their partner, spouse or etc was pregnant then, you are simply delusional. What is depicted here does happen.

4. Exactly what it does. Its rhetotic. It's meant to convince on the basis of sympathy.

And this is why I don't like most of you. You cannot look at abortion as abortion you have to feel around it rather than directly address the philosophical position.

1. You check your self socially first.

2. You completely deconceptualize and deconstruct the reality out of it. Which is to engage a blank out.

3. You imply motives which after you have destroyed what you have heard and seen only who you are talking to, assume malice.

4. You attack the very act of which all of us engage in.

This is epistemological failure on your part.

And my major point is that abortion is not good in itself. It's a painful choice in defense of one's life and values which are and should be the center of your life. You guys need things to be 0 harm to everyone with every choice. The harm reduction ethics you practice is a race to the bottom.

"get over it" you say to a man who wanted to be a father because in your effort to reduce suffering you have to pretend that he cannot possibly suffer. You have to deny rather than address.

[meangirlnurse]

abortion is great, actually! cry harder

[khorneschosen]

Cringe take.

[meangirlnurse]

i am comfortable with you thinking i'm cringe. can you say "epistemological failure" again tho it was really funny the first time

[khorneschosen]

Sure epistemological failure. Id repeat it again but you actually wont understand.

[uncle-beanbag-mojave]

I'm gonna weigh in on this one. 23 years ago I had a child. I was excited. I had a good job and life was looking up. I was prepared to be a father and looking forward to it. My girlfriend at the time had an abortion without my knowedge and killed our child.

It still haunts me to this day. I don't have any living children.

[alienemily]

I’m confused. How did you have a child if it was never born? Isn’t the whole argument you’re making that you DIDN’T have a child?

[uncle-beanbag-mojave]

Yes you're confused and think life begins at birth.

[alienemily]

Because, medically speaking, it does. You were never a father any more than I was a mother. You were a prospective, potential father. I was a potential mother. Neither of us ever had the child. It haunts me too, despite choosing an abortion. Unfortunately that’s just how the cookie crumbles. It’s too bad that in these past 23 years you never met a woman who would like to have a child with you, but I hope someday you get that dream!

[uncle-beanbag-mojave]

You're fucking retarded

[haternumber1]

Thank god that woman had an abortion and got rid of you. All of human kind dodged a bullet with your spawn never being born.

[uncle-beanbag-mojave]

Yiff in hell furfag

[yourtoradorasextendedwarranty]

Reminder to the crowd.

People like Hater, Nurse, and even Violet to a certain extent are why the bulk of the Pro life crowd find people who are "Pro Choice" to be evil. Not just ill intentioned.

So to start with Violet's point. As a point of speech we normally saying, "Expecting Mother" or "Expecting Father" as a turn of speech. Which would be to imply that motherhood or fatherhood do not start until after birth. That's honestly a dumb take. Life starts at conception. From that point on, you are parents. You might not get to experience all the joys of seeing your kid in person, but you do go through a lot to make sure the kid is delivered safe, and to be sure that you both prepare yourself to personally take care of another human once it breaths it's first outside the womb. Calling a mother not a mother prior to birth is kinda stupid if you look at everything mothers go through prior to birth. Same with fathers. I'll consider this not evil but misguided.

As for Hater and Nurse.....There's not much I have to say here. They are the same anti natalist scum that most of the pro abort klan are. Margaret Sanger would be proud of them.

But ignoring the racist bitch for a moment, let's look at this objectively. It takes two to make a child. Not just one. The reason we've seen a stark move away from, "Life starts at conception" is because of the pro abortion crowd that likes to manipulate language to say, "It's a literal Parasite", or, "It's just a clump of cells". Except it's not. It's a child in its earliest development stages.

Also Beanbag. My guy. That person would PROBABLY like Yiffing in hell. Instead wish upon them having to rot in hell while being forced to watch a happy family life from beginning to end as the burn and get tortured for eternity realizing they never had that and never will. Brother you need to up your insult game. These people are monsters. If heaven is real so will the hell they will face for eternity.

Once again, pro-choice people manage to be their own worst enemies. /not on either side

[ispendtoomuchtimeonline]

Um… quick question. If the husband wanted a child so bad, then why did he marry a woman who clearly had no interest in being a mother? (Given she’s wearing a dress suit, holding a briefcase, and telling him to “get over it”, I’m assuming we’re supposed to interpret her as the “girboss feminist who’s obsessed with her career” type.)

And can I also point out that he’s not actually mourning a dead child here? That cute toddler he’s imagining never existed. He’s mourning the IDEA of a child. Normally, I’d still be sympathetic- we all have moments when we wonder ‘what if’.

But.

If my experience with Every Man I’ve Ever Met has taught me anything, it’s that most men’s “idea” parenting looks like this: He plays with the kid, does all the fun things with the kid, the kid worships him, everyone tells him how his kid is “just like him” and how he’s a fantastic father. His legacy (whatever that even means) is secure.

Men never seem to think about the constant effort that goes into keeping kids fed, clothed, safe, bathed, cleaned up after, dropped off on time at school/ doctors’ appointments/sports/tutoring/music lessons/ect. To say nothing of the emotional labor that goes into turning kids into an independent, emotionally stable adults.

Because, somewhere deep down, they know they don’t HAVE to. That’s women’s work. If his “girlboss feminist” wife did end up giving birth, the unwritten societal expectation would be that SHE quit her job to raise their son.

This man is not grieving his dead child. The child never existed- didn’t live, didn’t breathe, didn’t cry or throw a tantrum or dirty a diaper or cover a shirt in spit-up. It never had thoughts and feelings of its own. It. Didn’t. Exist.

What he’s most likely mourning is the ‘Leave it to Beaver’ fantasy that’s been ingrained in us all by 1950s TV adds- the ones that show cute children and spotless kitchens, but not the long hours of unpaid, invisible labor that sustains them.

So yeah. I don’t blame the wife for not feeling bad for him. I don’t feel that bad for him, either. And neither should you.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

>If the husband wanted a child so bad, then why did he marry a woman who clearly had no interest in being a mother?

I don't know how to tell you this, but sometimes people lie or change their minds about what they want.

You're making a very baseless assumption about what this dude knew when he married her.

>(Given she’s wearing a dress suit, holding a briefcase, and telling him to “get over it”, I’m assuming we’re supposed to interpret her as the “girboss feminist who’s obsessed with her career” type.)

Or that's just what the AI spit out and the prompter didn't care to re-render.

>And can I also point out that he’s not actually mourning a dead child here? That cute toddler he’s imagining never existed. He’s mourning the IDEA of a child.

Yes, that's the whole point.

He's mourning the idea of a kid he never had, because his presumed wife got an abortion, presumably without consulting him or against his wishes. Maybe he did consent and now rejects it, idk.

I'm not sure why you're saying this like it's some big revelation when the very first "pro-life" post in this thread was someone explicitly saying the hypothetical dude lost the idea of a kid.

>If my experience with Every Man I’ve Ever Met has taught me anything, it’s that most men’s “idea” parenting looks like this: He plays with the kid, does all the fun things with the kid, the kid worships him, everyone tells him how his kid is “just like him” and how he’s a fantastic father. His legacy (whatever that even means) is secure.

Aaaand there's the naked sexism.Thanks for ripping the mask off.

>Because, somewhere deep down, they know they don’t HAVE to. That’s women’s work. If his “girlboss feminist” wife did end up giving birth, the unwritten societal expectation would be that SHE quit her job to raise their son.

20% of primary caregivers in America are stay at home dads.

"In 2025, 80 percent of employed mothers with children ages 6 to 17 worked full time compared with 77 percent of mothers with children under age 6." -BLS PDF

About 4 in 5 moms have full-time jobs.

So you're not just wrong, you're sexist against women AND men.

I don't think I need to continue.

[xxx-theartofsuicide-xxx]

Women change their mind about having children so often that doctors don't want to perform sterilization procedures on very young women for fear of being sued when the woman later changes her mind. I say this as an ex-feminist and ex-pro choicer who changed my mind. Feminists pretend women like me don't exist because it's inconvenient. When they do acknowledge me, they behave as if they're some "enlightened" Victorian quack and I'm a Hysterical Woman.

They also show a callous lack of regard for women who absolutely do regret their abortions, women who have elevated just enough to understand that there is no such thing as consequence free sex, and that they did something horrible with the cold permission of an ugly lie.

[penandinkprincess]

Do you ever feel strange about being a fanfiction reader/author? I was discussing this hobby with a friend and they kind of rained on my parade and when I explained it’s a fun way to read about your favorite characters, they said it wasn’t even the same characters as it’s not canon or the same author and that most fanfic was porn anyway. Even though I know that’s bullshit, I can’t help having a strange feeling of awkwardness come over me when I try to read fanfic now, do you ever feel strange about this hobby?

i'm being so serious when i say you have to kill the live studio audience in your head.

i'm selective with who i tell about writing fanfiction because for any hobby in the world some people are gonna be cool and some people are gonna suck, but no, i don't feel weird about my hobby because who even knows when i'm doing it? thought crimes aren't real and neither is thought cringe. ✌️

[the-davest-of-uncles]

I'm reblogging this, not because I read or write fanfiction, but because it's important that you read and write whatever you want. After all, you do so for your own enjoyment. If other people like what you write, great. If they don't, that's okay. They can move on.

But they can't tell you that you shouldn't read or write what you like.

[yetanotherdayofdrudgery]

Remember: "Somehow, Palpatine returned" is canon.

[cluelesbo]

Hell yeah, one of the things I like about fanfiction as a hobby is how niche it is. It's a great way to practice the craft of writing — easy to find a small audience who actively want to read your work, but the pressure is extremely low, so it stays fun.

The stigma that comes with it is the price for it staying small and weird... and I'm okay with that personally!

[xxx-theartofsuicide-xxx]

Everything is fanfiction. No idea is new. The settings change, the finer details change, but it has all been done before. Every "new" idea is inspired by a predecessor. Romeo & Juliet was fanfiction.

People who don't understand this are too caught up in an elitist thought-process to comprehend their own ignorance. To this type of person, financial success and popularity are major factors in determining artistic value. Real artists understand what actually matters.

[yetanotherdayofdrudgery]

And that is a fanfic of the older tale of Pyramus and Thisbe (which Shakespeare also referenced in Midsummer Night's Dream).

Why is a tax on unrealized gains so bad? if anything it seems more efficient since it doesn't punish people for transacting. Is the fear that the underlying asset is illiquid so people couldn't afford to hold it even if it was profitable? Is it just that the accounting would be annoying?

It destroys people. It leverages a tax on people, sometimes a higher amount than they've ever owned in their life, on the theory that maybe they will make that money in the future.

[brazenautomaton]

the advocates of it would say that it doesn't hurt normal people only the obscenely wealthy who they hate and want to kill

they don't notice or remember that if you're afraid someone will hurt you, and that person says you aren't worth bothering with, they are coming for you first.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

>Is it just that the accounting would be annoying?

You need to add a whole lot more infrastructure to determine what the "worth" of those unrealized gains are. Making a government program bigger rarely results in more efficiency.

Also, this gives the government a strong incentive to over-estimate the unrealized gains for more tax revenue.

Also, who says they won't continue to tax transactions?

[yourtoradorasextendedwarranty]

That's the stupid part too of course they would continue to make taxes on transactions necessary and relevant. The government can't help themselves but consistently overspend on literally everything. And that's the reason that they constantly want to raise taxes in the United States. And every other country for that matter.

Because they think money should be in their hand rather than the hands of the people who hold those things.

Sadly however, what most people don't realize is the fact that when you text unrealized games not only does the government get to overestimate what's something is worth to charge you the most they possibly can. They will also continue to find ways to charge you on it because if you think that they're going to stop at a tax like this you're out of your mind. And the one fun part about stocks or other on realized gains, like solid assets like houses and cars etc, because those are, in fact, on realized games because they are worth money in estimate. Is the fact that eventually those people are going to have to start selling things off to pay for these games that they have not received which means they are paying taxes on money that doesn't technically exist.

The dumbest part about that is that it liquidates everyone's assets all at one time. Worse than that it will actually do massive damage to most of the stock market. Which does affect the entire market.

Not to mention, most retirement plans are unrealized gains. This would wipe out 401ks overnight. It would destroy pensions.

All you have to do is look at Iran to see how well a revolution goes when the civilian populace doesn't have guns. Add to that the as-designed pressure valve inherent in every democratic form of government--elections--and there won't be any revolution. They will just vote in Reform candidates the next time they have an election, and then within one cycle they'll vote back in Labour or Green or whatever left wing party is the most popular because they can't help themselves.
