what happened to your doggirl? she started watching northernlion sorry. yea she was showing us clips and everything and he was saying just awful things about social contagions spreading through television and video games and she was laughing at it and calling it true. and when we tried to tell her to think about what those kinds of things mean she said "oh like you all would know, like you talk to anyone whose brain isn't decroded from using the internet 12 hours a day" so we took her out back and shot her. it's for the best really

This is your captain speaking. I know you're wondering why there's a horse on board but I can assure you he paid for his ticket as well as all subsequent fees

when the fuck did anyone start giving a shit about how Usians personally interpret and feel about "death to america"? that seems like literally the least important thing to care about ever.

every time there’s suddenly a hate campaign against a female celebrity, the internet comes forward with their attitude of “i know the LAST one turned out to be a misogynistic and manipulative smear campaign after a woman was being abused and taken advantage of, but THIS TIME it’s real and justified” and then it never is and the cycle just repeats endlessly

only reading ya or only watching kids shows is tremendously destructive to your ability to create or understand fiction (as any extremely narrow fiction intake is) but also ultimately that is not a super important skill in life or indicative of any deficiency of character

if i see another liberal yapping about “listening to koreans” on the “north korea issue” im going to kms. south koreans are heavily propagandised from birth to view the dprk as an existential threat and their alignment with the u.s as a necessary safeguard. this propaganda isn’t just state-driven; it’s embedded in our education system, media, and culture. for decadesssss, south koreans have been told that their prosperity and “democracy” are thanks to u.s intervention. one of the many reasons the north is painted as a failed state ruled by a dictatorship is to create a “well you don’t want to be that guy” argument for south koreans in favour of u.s military occupation.

south korea’s economic success comes at massive cost: hyper-exploitation of workers, neoliberal conservative policies, and total subservience to u.s military and economic interests ect. but many south koreans are comfortable with this setup because they see themselves as benefitting from it, south koreans see themselves as both momentarily embarrassed millionaires and a momentarily embarrassed independent nation. it is a cultural problem and with every passing generation it gets worse, south korean elders who experienced the war and the dictatorships are treated as nutty demented boomers with no knowledge of the modern world as the youth of the samsung republic hurdle at full speed towards fascism.

sometimes i see cis people say "trans people will understand if you misgender them at first. i call my nephew 'her' all the time and he knows i don't mean it" no he doesnt. he probably never hangs out with you for more than ten minutes because that's how long you can last in a conversation before making him feel like shit. also he thinks you're, best case scenario, stupid for not being able to figure it out, or worst case scenario, uncaring about him and his needs. he doesn't like spending time with you. you're deluding yourself into thinking you're far kinder than you are. you're weird man.

also it's bizarre seeing transmascs continue to do the "actually only cis men/cis people benefit from transmisogyny" song and dance like every trans guy on t hasn't spent the last fucking decade doing the "do you really want somebody with FACIAL HAIR in the WOMEN'S ROOM??" bit ad infinitum

whenever you work on anything at a very low level you hear people say "don't bother, people smarter than you have already done it better" and I hate that so much. How did they become smarter? How did they learn to design these low level systems and make them perform very efficiently? They certainly didn't do it by throwing up their hands and going "well, someone smarter than me has already done it so I may as well use their implementation and not put any more thought into it"

a magical sword can only be pulled from its anvil by a maiden of purest heart. a young knight visits the anvil daily to make the attempt, crushed each time he cannot do the deed, yearning for a sign from the universe that he *is* in truth what he yearns to be. for the world to plop the gift of identity into outstretched arms. but of course, it never does. until one day, he has a chance encounter with a nymph of the lake who was once an ordinary squire, and he learns from her that maidenhood will not be given to him, that he must be brave and choose it for himself. and so the knight changes her name and reintroduces herself to the world and employs the greatest miracles of modern science to become the maiden she had always dreamed of being, and this time, when she revists the sword, she only can't pull it because she's kind of an asshole.

"most gender affirming care is actually for cis ppl, isn't that hypocritical?" well they're affirming and reinforcing the societal structure of assigned gender so no actually. if they could they'd want you to get surgery to make you line up with your coercive gender assignment too, and very often they do, especially to kids.

The most realistic part of Portal is when the only man Chell interacts with calls her bossy when she literally doesn't speak

Marvelbros will try and trash filmbros by making up hypothetical films that sound fucking amazing, they'll be like "would you rather watch escapist superheroes or a 3 hour Yugoslavian film from 1971 about the friendship between a homeless man and his dog over the course of the dog's life" and I'll be like obviously it's the latter????

they should make a pokemon puzzle league style game that's based on the saw franchise
