US media really likes to try make Putin out to be a neo-Soviet and downplay the whole thing where he was the hand picked successor of Yeltsin who was heavily assisted by Americans in the 1996 elections to stave off a resurgent Communist Party.

It's kind of wild that people defend Marvel as brainless or pure fun entertainment cuz like, bro that's a three hour movie that requires you to have seen 12 other 2-3 hour movies before you can enjoy it. Your movies are giving you homework. You have the patience of a god. My "pretentious snobby foreign film" is 98 minutes and it's full of sex and drugs and arguing. How tf am I the elitist here.

I don't drink coffee and regularly go months without chocolate, so this year is gonna be fun af to watch

Bananas are one thing but what most first worlders really could not live without is cheap, year-round coffee and chocolate

Oh is it time for me to point out that by owning a gun your risk of suicide (which, if you're queer, is already between 2-6 times higher than for cishet people) increases by 900-1000% again

Here's the problem with arguing with statistics: they don't fucking care how built different you think you are

feeling politically scared in a tense sharehouse or polycule? purchase one or more firearms! surely nothing could ever go wrong if you add one or more firearms into a group of twitchy scared people! everyone should own a gun so that every relationship and unstable living situation can have one or more firearms involved! anyone who disagrees with this is probably European (country)

Every single queer person who still engages with Harry Potter, in any form and for any reason, is a class traitor

So JKR is anti asexual now to

I literally almost passed out from laughing at this

Normalise finding out personal information about people who commit online abuse and exposing them to their friends, families and employers

If you are stupid and/or shameless enough to put your government name and actual face on a website and use it to spout unbridled hatred and abuse then you should 1,000% be held accountable for those actions

There is no more compelling societal force than shame and we must weaponise it

Transphobia is always, always just misogyny in a different hat. At the end of the day it's always about making sure women conform to the standard they set.

If you need an example of how resurgent fascism has become in society in the last decade, Bioshock Infinite is only 12 years old and the thought of it being made today is literally laughable

No publisher would ever risk releasing a video game that explicitly laid bare the white supremacist foundation myths of Christian, conservative American culture and if it did get released then anyone involved with it would get death threats at best

HE'S DONE IT AGAIN! HE'S FUCKIN' DONE IT AGAIN!

James Somerton is working as a wedding photographer with a plagiarized portfolio, btw

YoutubeDrama thread where this came out.

He truly seems incapable of not passing off others work as his own.

This opinion always seems to come bundled with "I support sex workers but not their clients"

Then you don't fucking support sex workers!! It's as simple as that!!

"CNC is fine as long as you're roleplaying as the victim" "ageplay is fine as long as you're not roleplaying as the adult" do you hear the words coming out of your mouth

sex isn't sexy unless it's a little bit gross. have you forgotten that you are a divine ape? plastic smooth skin, plucked hair, painted faces, scripted reactions, scrubbed til only the smell of perfumed soap remains, proportions that are conflictingly cookiecutter yet unattainable, none of this is even a little bit interesting.

you can laugh at napoleon's "home in three days, don't bathe" letter to his wife, but there's more sexuality in that one line then there is in the entirety of the hypersexualized but painfully unsexy internet.

Most Normal Alan Moore Anecdote

more comic characters should haunt their writers like how everyone who’s written John Constantine keeps meeting him in dark alleys

It’s so crazy how you can measure the shifts in culture based on which race Ariana is pretending to be

For the last time dude, my leitmotif sounds exactly like it always has. There is no symbolism for creeping corruption in there

"Making a better burger is literally so simple, I don't know why McDonald's doesn't do it this way. First we're going to begin by craft dry-aging this A5 wagyu beef with the sho-shu-ryuba technique that I learned at a restaurant you're only allowed to work at if your parents are bluelinked on wikipedia..."

Every religion has "and then there's this asshole"

I think what I love most about mythology is that the “Trickster God/Spirit” is an archetypical character found in almost every body of folklore. It’s like “Oh, here’s our God of the Sun, our God of the Sea, our God of Fertility, and our God of Being A Wretched Little Gremlin Who Causes Problems On Purpose”
