I cannot imagine growing up in today's online climate, with how pronounced the paranoia and performative mindsets over media consumption are.

I watched so many movies and read so many books as a kid. It must be exhausting, having to stop prior to seeing any kind of media and checking if it is somehow "okay" to consume, and okay to share the fact you've consumed it with your peers. Imagine the mental stress that would cause, especially because according to this whole purity culture panic, the main punishment for looking at the wrong media is ostracism.

Humans are not built to handle ostracism well. We're social animals because we die if we're alone, so being ostracized has an enormous psychological impact on us. So the stakes here are ludicrously high. And for what? Whether someone enjoys the Saw franchise, or reads Lolita, or finds the Lannister's relationship fascinating, or has a rape kink?

The pressure to find ways to account for your missteps, to prove you're not as "dirty" as people think you are, is absurdly intense as well. And it is always there. Posting online means you can be seen anytime by anyone, so the sense of accountability is high. The sad thing is, accountability means a dozen different things to a dozen different people. So even if you tie yourself into knots trying to be "good" and "morally superior", at some point, someone is going to point out how you, too, are a "degenerate" like everyone else, just because you didn't meet their strict standards. And at that point it won't matter if you "aren't really a bad person". They won't care, just like you didn't care. They will still attack you. It's really only a matter of time.

And if you don't think it will happen to you, well, that's what everyone else thought too.

i always wondered if the splat 2 promo octolings and the octo expansion promo octolings were the same because their renders/in-game models are sooo inconsistent if so (well, even more so than usual, anyway)

judging by how coroika's agent 8 (hachi) is based off of the male octoling, i think so? but im not too sure. that's not even going over how female agent 8's constantly changing skintone bothers me to death

tumblr might be the only place in the world where you'll get people who believe literature should be left to the english professors and the common people will never understand the deep beauty and prose of war and peace but also that like, spending enough time outdoors makes you just as informed as a trained ecologist

the other day my mom (for context, white boomer) tried to explain her viewpoint on the starbucks boycott to me. i cannot stop thinking about it. she explained to me why the boycott is happening in the first place as if i was not aware of the story and then said that it’s wrong for a small group like that to try and speak for the whole company, they have the right to sue! this conversation was really out of left field and i was stressed and tired so i wasn’t prepared but i managed to say “i don’t really care about stuff like that when so many people are dying” and she looked at me in a way i couldn’t decipher and dropped the topic. i don’t think my mom is heartless, it’s just freaky seeing my otherwise considerate mother defend a Corporation over real human life cause she’s been brainwashed so bad by the systems we live in. palestine is a far off place that doesn’t affect her and it’s possible for her to consider the feelings of starbucks (the company) over thousands of dead kids. this country fucking sucks. i wonder if the way she looked at me was sudden recognition of this but Alas i cannot read facial expressions

you know what would be a fun project? surveying ppl's thoughts on "trans culture" and general traits they might notice trans ppl around them. it'd be interesting to compare cis het, cis gay, and trans ppl's thoughts/stereotypes abt trans ppl as a broad group. smthn smthn how we see ourselves vs how we are portrayed in media vs how non trans ppl actually see us
