"Masculinity is rewarded, including in AFAB people" Full offense, but have any of you met a transmasculine person with parents before?

[youhaveacar]

Masculinity Misogyny is rewarded, including in AFAB women; Counter-hegemonic masculinity is unendingly punished, including in AMAB men.

Misogyny is normative, and is systematically: Taught, allowed, granted power, boosted by algorithms, excused by courts, written into law, forced onto everyone.

Masculinity is the unique, inevitable union of a person's identity, lived experiences, culture, etc., that fights to remain itself through: Abuse, ostracization, erasure, criminalization, illegal dismissal, institutionalization.

Misogyny is a privileged position, masculinity is not.

Misogyny is a choice, masculinity is not.

Using ideas from the hard-fought position that: The power of misogyny lies not in enabling men to freely violate women, but in enforcing a framework under which everyone may be justly violated on the basis of gender. Just to essentialize misogyny to masculinity, thus turning it into a game of spot the masculine, of which "AFAB" masculinity is a uniquely deserving target, is, very misogynistic.

[handweavers]

people like the idea that there is an identity they can claim that will absolve them of the responsibility to examine their beliefs and actions and adjust them accordingly to better align with their values and desired outcomes but there isn't, we all have to practice humility and do the work regardless

How did the straight men who post slowmo creep shot videos of female idols even find this website.... you're not welcome here, demon.... this is hallowed ground....

[turnways]

I am aware the terminology doesnt exclusively refer to one thing but I lowkey hate how "purity culture" has been watered down to someone hating sex scenes and shipping drama when a lot of it is shit like being told youre going to hell for masturbating or children being afraid to speak up about sexual abuse.

[laterkiss]

i have this deadly sickness called remembering

[normal-horoscopes]

I legitimately think the first video game to ever say the word "bisexual" out loud was Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. There is a nonzero chance it was actually the first video game to print "bisexual" in a text format.

[normal-horoscopes]

It is very possible that the first video game character to ever say the word "Bisexual" out loud was Solid Snake.

[lakemojave]

Based on what I found, the first ever bisexual character in a video game was Curtis Craig from Phantasmagoria 2 (1996) but I have yet to find out if he says the word "bisexual" in the scene where this is revealed

[lakemojave]

He does not. He says he's attracted to his male best friend but he never says the word "bisexual."

The first ever character to ever correctly and overtly identify a person as bisexual was Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001)

[nyanbinyuri]

I once again have to point out for those who've never played mgs2 he says this when asked if another character that goes by the name of vamp is a vampire

[laliluleho]

Everyone here who hasn’t yet needs to see how fucking incredible this whole conversation is.

Snake: “He was at church when a bomb went off, got pierced by a crucifix, survived by drinking his family’s blood.”

Raiden: “So that’s why he’s called Vamp?”

Snake: “No it’s because he’s bisexual.”

Every instance of this screenshot I have seen, I assumed was an edit as a joke.

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou

[ayeforscotland]

Let’s fucking go

[made-in-manetheren]

This is HUGE.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.

[treecitysessions]

What did she mean by this

[valleyg0th]

Are y’all literally this fucked in the head? Its genitals. No it’s not normal or “tame” to put your genitals in public.

[treecitysessions]

She’s in a bedroom posing for an artsy nude photo not exposing herself on the street please be for real expeditiously

[xenasaur]

> sees goth in username

> looks inside

> moral panic over art and appeals to normalcy

you could cut the irony with a knife

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

People wouldn't be reacting that way if it was a vagina.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

"Love/sex is what makes us human" Wrong. It's the obsession with rectangles. look around you and count the number of rectangles you see.

[crippled-peeper]

people who act like menstruation is sexual or shameful need to be beaten with sticks

[aromantic-pantyanarchy]

You know what I'm gonna COMPLAIN!

Vanilla sex isn't "wholesome sex"! Sex is not more pure just because it's done within the framework of a monogamous relationship and free from elements of kink!

"Person is so pure they probably don't even know what sex is." Purity isn't defined by the distance from sex! As if the more a person encounters sex in any context the less pure their soul becomes!

You🫵are not immune to propagating the beliefs and ideas of purity culture!

[negativepeanuthoarder]

"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess

only low effort men feel triggered by this btw

I don't know who my intended audience is here, so whoever needs to hear this, I am begging you to learn to participate in conversations that are about things you aren't interested in.

Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.

Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.

It can not always be about your preferred topic.

You are being rude. Yes, even if you are neurodivergent. You can be both autistic and rude.
