#but thats kind of why i dislike them

[thewhisperingtwenties]

ok i have to be a hater just this once. is this a safe space. i do not like the danganronpa fashion collabs, theyre all extremely boring to me.

[ceasarslegion]

No i dont think its a good thing to make hating children your entire personality but can i please just say that i dont like them and dont want to deal with screaming temper tantrums and meltdowns from other peoples kids (especially, ESPECIALLY when the parents are absolutely useless in dealing with them) without 30,000 people crawling out of the woodwork to assume that i think all kids should die

Kyoko still regularly visits the Corn clearing because it's her happy place, and early into the production Ren goes to visit the spot for nostalgia and happy memories. They run into each other there and Ren immediately realizes who she is

i think the whole discourse around whether or not cishet aro men are queer stems specifically from the idea of allo aros being hypersexual - and so the idea of an allo aro, specifically a straight aro man, draws to mind the idea of like, fuckboys, or sexist men who only view women as sex objects, etc. And that is likely why the idea of cishet aro men leaves such a bad taste in apparently so many peoples mouths

now, i’ve spoken before about how attraction =/= libido. i’ve mostly spoken about this in the context of being ace, where asexuals can still have a libido despite not experiencing sexual attraction. the confusion and conflation between attraction and behavior has been a huge source of frustration for me with regards to the popular idea of asexuality and how it has confused me on my path to figuring out my own sexual identity over the years

BUT. the idea holds true not only for aces who have high libidos - but also for allosexuals who have low libidos. the idea that to be allo aro is to immediately be some hypersexual fuckboy is just, so warped? just because you experience sexual attraction but not romantic attraction does not mean you immediately become some sexist pig who always needs your dick wet. like idk it’s just beyond fucking frustrating to see the way that people sexualize alloaros when they’re just - they’re just people. you would not assume what another person’s sex life or libido is if they were otherwise alloromantic allosexual, because your orientation describes the way you experience attraction, not your behavior and sex life, nor your libido. in the same way, being alloaro has literally nothing to do with what your actual libido is. so why are allo aros the exception? to try to divide the community and exclude them based on your assumption of their sex lives is just so fucked

Kind of wish people would understand that you can dislike characters actions and they can piss you off but you can still enjoy the show as a whole

Always got the vibe that Scott pilgrim wasn’t gonna be for me but I’m watching the new anime rn and thats made me look into some of the original stuff (movie and comics) that follow the main plot and. Hm. I can’t tell if all this stuff is racist or not. I feel like I don’t have enough context cuz i cant be fucked but it’s setting off my “multiple stereotypes detected” radar and my “maybe look into this to see what asians have to say about it” senses. Is Matthew the only brown character in this series?

Have to change a bit of when Revari and Ena were born bc apparently Veilguard is in 9:49 instead of 9:52 like I thought

[dandyshucks]

i havent even thought about what starter im going to choose omg... i don't think i have any preferences towards type, i usually just end up liking pkmn based on vibe and aesthetics LMAO, and I've never played any game except for platinum (and I haven't even finished my first playthrough of it....) so i have zero experience in choosing starters,,,, THIS IS EXCITING

[connormoving]

i got cut off. continuing my thoughts

[turnedpalefromlackofsun]

starscream got himself a harem in earthspark? im pissing myself

genderbending like half the cast is interesting. i wonder why they decided that? just for fun?

well, i like it. ive been thinking about harems a lot so it was funny. and also i want to draw it. fundamentally im never in favor of this but im not taking it seriously anyways

usually i prefer genderbending just starscream and leaving sw and tc as male. reverse harem. but like this too. idk why i never thought about it before

[cisgendersonic]

one like. sonic fandom shipping trope i guess is what you'd call it. that really annoys me is when people have amy move on from sonic but then immediately get with someone who looks like him (or is said to look like him in shadows case) or is a copy of him in some way. and have that be part of the reason she likes them. or when people have sonics rivals/copies try to get amy to like them more as a way of proving they're better than him or something than out of genuine interest in her. i can't even explain why i find this stuff annoying i just do

[phagodyke]

i keep getting irrationally miffed at ppl 😐😐

new pokemon episode!!!

Uh oh (is having Wormwood thoughts)

[txttletale]

but.... that same breadth exists for nearly all music genres! and people say they dont like country, classical, metal, kpop, jazz all the time without anyone accusing them of holding discriminatory views against the people who make those kinds of music

the post that kicked this off emphasized that rap and hip/hop are some of the most popular genres in the united states! most people DO listen to this music. why does it matter that some alt girls on the world's least important social blogging platform dont? it just feels very consumption as identity, consumption as politics in a way i thought you're normally opposed to. listening to rap music will not cure white people of their racism. not being particular interested in mainstream rap/hip hop as genre is not some moral transgression and neither is not seeking out the perfect microgenre that would interest you

now if you take the opportunity while saying you dont like rap to denigrate it for not being art, make it out to seem unusually misogynistic, or otherwise smear it with racial stereotypes thats another story.

sure, like i litcherally said in my post, i don't think it reflects on you in any particular way to not listen to rap, but there's a pretty big difference between not listening to rap and saying you don't like rap. like idk, i don't watch brazilian cinema. and i don't think that (unless i went around claiming i was some kind of cinema expert) anyone would think i have some duty to go and watch a bunch of classic brazilian films and deep dive into that space to understand it. but i also don't go around confidently saying i don't like brazilian cinema when i haven't done that digging innit and if i did i think it would be fair for people to sideye me about it!

obviously there are like, historically contingent factors with jazz and rap in particular, where these are historically Black cultural products that are devalued because of that, that make that kind of statement come with even more baggage -- but i do in fact think that that kind of uninformed blanket dismissal towards any entire artform is narrow-minded in general, like when people say they "don't like video games" i roll my eyes a little, because what common elements between, idk, gone home, call of duty: ghosts, tetris, and horse master: the game of horse mastery can there possibly be to justify such a uniformly negative opinion?

& it's the same thing here, i just think that there is a big difference between simply not listening to rap music and going around saying you Dislike an entire art form like it's a monolith. like ultimately its just the extreme variety and breadth of rap that makes me feel like, yknow, again--that, 'smearing it with racial stereotypes' is the only way to come up with a confident blanket dislike of what is, i can't stress enough, essentially an entire artistic medium.

The reason I asked in the first place is because I follow a youtuber that is a strictly works from home person with a very small dog that they often send off to daycare and I quote "to get her out of my sight sometimes"

It rubs me the wrong way every single time they say it because its like...teach your dog a nice out of the way method of settling, crate train them, give them their own activity in another room, etc. It's not like you're dealing with a 50+ pound dog, she probably weighs like 15 pounds.

cmon now

What are yalls feelings on Dog day care
