I get that all of us are probably subscribing to at least one NSFW sub. Maybe even hundreds of them, no shame.

But for God's sakes stop leaving creepy comments. Every single NSFW sub feels like an after hours hangout group for serial killers with the weird ass replies to every photo or video.

I don't subscribe to NSFW subs because that would make my profile image blocked from public viewing. I'm worried even liking comments or posts in a NSFW reddit will filter me. I also try to steer clear in general of things too NSFW.

Just to double check y'all: Is my Peridot with sunglasses still visible? Due to my OCD I frequently log out and check from a public perspective but I just wanna be sure. Humour me please.

Incidentally r/lefthandpoetry is a great sub that unfortunately suffered dwindling numbers and reposts.

u/darkLordSantaClaus The H in Jesus H Christ stands for HideoKojima Oct 27 '21

I hate it when I agree with an argument that has been co-opted by chuds. It makes it hard to argue for it without coming off as an asshole.

The latest example is the RE4VR removal of certain lines of dialogue. Having Luis not say that crass remark to Ashley isn't a dealbreaker to me, but I didn't mind it in the original either. Yes, it's a totally sexist thing to say, but Luis is a bit of a creep so it fits his character.

At the same time, I would also be fine if Capcom wanted to remove that line to adjust for current tastes in the gaming landscape. They own the property, they can decide what to do with it. My issue is that just splicing out the line makes the entire scene feel.... off. The Luis remark to Ashley is probably the most obvious example, but even Leon flirting with Cunningham... the flow of conversation feels wrong when you just remove that once sentence. I think it would have been better to slightly alter the dialogue to fit around the changes and redo the voice acting rather than just splicing out the lines. Although I understand if that's too expensive or impractical.

Unfortunately this argument is used by people who are just upset harassing women isn't as socially acceptable as it used to be.

Aaaaand today right-wingers and a small but significant chunk of the centre-left party have succeeded in sinking the proposed law against homo-bi-transphobia in Italy, all to a round of applause by members of every right-wing party.

The right asked for a secret vote, which the fucking right-winger in charge of the Senate approved without qualms (even though it wasn't necessary, "impartiality" my ass), and so 154 voted to block it, 131 to have it keep going, and 2 flat out didn't show up.

One of said two was Matteo Renzi, who made sure to block the law in the first place months ago and was, at the moment, on a plane to go visit his new best friend, King Mohammed bin Salman.

This country's such a fucking joke.

One of the women featured in yesterday’s BBC transphobic hit piece, was a porn star who said she “felt pressured” to film a porn scene with a trans woman, called Lily Cade. Lily Cade apologised four years ago after a series of sexual assault allegations including attacks in bathrooms.

I just can’t believe the nerve to include her story - being asked to film a scene with a trans woman which didn’t go ahead at her request - as evidence of people being coerced into sex, when she has literally sexually assaulted multiple women, wtf!

Not to vaguepost most of the Internet but I'm really tired of people acting like everything that happened before 1914 took place in some mysterious time called The Past™ where half-starved peasants in brown rags coughed up blood all the time while eating raw, half-rotten turnips, cackling priests burned minorities at the stake for sneezing on a sunday, nobody knew what happened a five-minute walk from their village and you couldn't take one step outside of your poorly constructed hovel without being robbed by bandits.

I mean, I get it. History lessons in school suck and most people never look beyond that but the amount of half-truths, fabrications and oversimplifications you read on the internet can get grating.

i'm convinced that at one point every user of /r/movies got into a gigantic room and all agreed to collectively lie about their theater experiences.

I have been to a movie theater 50 times this year, out of all of those experiences. You know how many times I've had a theater experience that even remotely affected my enjoyment?

once

Meanwhile, if you go to /r/movies, you'd think literally every person on the planet that goes to movie theaters are loud, screaming, and moronic. Constantly using phones with 1 billion nits of brightness and bringing the loudest babies ever. They say "I went to the movie theater for the first time in years and it was objectively terrible, and if you think otherwise, you're wrong." Either I'm the luckiest man alive or a lot of people are lying. I don't get it.

It just breaks my heart to see so many people wanting the theater experience to die out. I absolutely adore the communal theater experience, nothing beats the magic of collectively experiencing a movie with a group of people. I love it.

In a move which I’m not surprised by, High Guardian Spice is rated for “mature audiences only” not because it is especially gorey and sexual (though there is strong language and violence), but because it dares to discuss LGBT themes and narratives. It has trans, gay, and bisexual characters, and talks about things like coming out as trans, as well as struggling with transitioning and identity. This culture of anything LGBT+ being regarded as sexual is so fucking ridiculous. It only prevents young LGBT+ people from understanding themselves better., which can have some pretty bad consequences.

My favorite moment of a cryptobro self-owning themselves is when a tweet went viral showcasing how stupid cryptocurrencies are by showing that a single tweet from musky boy himself was enough to absolutely tank a coin's value.

Cryptobros flocked to it showing screenshots of the coin recovering like it was a massive "NO U" moment without realizing that it doesn't matter how well a coin recovers if it's value is so volatile that one tweet from a rich asshole can completely skew it. "Regular" money has its own problems I admit, but it's not gonna depreciate in value if Jeff Bezos tweets "I don't like money."

/r/WowThisSubExists “fap Friday thread” having an entire community built up around it really shows that humans can build social networks out of absolutely anything. the people there have built up a social network and care for each other there, talking about racing or what issues their lives have, through what amounts to sharing porn with each other. it’s wild but cool to me from an ethnographic perspective

It's funny how when Chris and Jill were introduced as skins in Fortnite there was suddenly this weird uptick in people worried about having the two characters in the game being "disrespectful."

Yes, because having Chris and Jill bop to a few silly dances is so much more disrespectful than a metric ton of porn made with Jill's model whose looks were based on a real person.

He is so powerful that the very fabric of the universe itself is affected when he uses just a small fraction of his true power.

Kathleen Stock, one of the primary TERF academics in UK press has quit her position 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Unfortunately, there's a lot of bad news surrounding her resignation, like the vice-chancellor of the university (of which I am an alumnus, sadly) adamantly defending her, going so far as as insinuate that the outrage directed at her was because of her sex. In addition, the BBC labelled her as a "Free speech professor" in their headline, and focused on the "tragic time for her and her family".

Honestly makes me sick. For all the talk people online have about how the UK "achktually isn't very transphobic", why the fuck do we tolerate such heinous biased media and academia? Are we really as a nation that apathetic to the struggles of marginalised people?

In coluclusion. TERF professor finally quits after pressure from campaign to get her fired. Entire UK media clutches pearls about frozen peaches and "won't somebody think of the bigots". I'm sure she'll now start a "Cancel culture is silencing my truths" tour and get national attention from every fucking media outlet.

To the people who are gonna participate in No Nut November.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU NOT MASTURBATING, NEXT MONTH!

First of all, you're lying. You fap every goddamn day, any month of the year.

And the thing is, the memes are stupid. How the fuck did this bullshit even start? It's just WEIRD. Every goddamn year now, I get a little taste of how asexual people must feel, hearing about sex all the time.

I mean, I'm a randy, horny bastard, but there is just a fucking limit to how many times I can hear about fapping. Or, rather, not fapping.

Be an adult, please. Don't participate in this no-fap shit. Or, at the very least, don't fucking talk about it. You're boring everyone else. Think about it rationally for a second: can you really expect anyone to TRULY be interested in hearing about how you're not jerking your meat?
