My tolerance for rom-coms has hit an all time low. Every time these idiots are like, "Let's move in together, it's the most romantic thing a couple can do to show they love each other!" I just feel that smoker meme in my soul.

Marriage, folks, the thing you're actually thinking of is marriage.

There's nothing more romantic than swearing to spend your life together. But admit it, you're too cowardly to commit to any ACTUAL romance in your life. :/

why does every critically acclaimed show or movie have to have women being sexually degraded or constantly with their tits out or stripping or being prostituted, when will the men start bending over and do long ass scenes with their ass shaking or whatever

I think it was a good character writing decision for mark's catalyst to be nolan insulting debbie, but the degrading way nolan talks about humans affects him too. mark is half-human, even if his viltrumite side is the only part of his heritage the characters of invincible acknowledge because nolan does everything he can to foreground it in-universe—declaring that his viltrumite-ness is the most important part of his racial/species background was arbitrary, and that status can be arbitrarily revoked too. mark only asks this once, but what was nolan planning to do if his son had never developed powers, i.e. proven he could grow into a "proper" viltrumite? he would be just another human, and nolan's treatment of debbie shows he has no issue belittling and mistreating even the humans that he's emotionally close to. nolan slaughters unfamiliar humans in front of mark to make a point. he uses mark's body as a weapon to kill humans with for the sake of upsetting him. mark, who is the son of a human just as much as he is the son of a viltrumite. who at the start of the series was less than a year away from being a normal human, the kind of person who his father would at best treat like a thing he possesses and at worst like a bug to squash. does mark feel threatened by nolan's contempt towards his people (the kind of person that mark is)? is that driving him to fight? is mark thinking about that at all, even if it's just subconscious?

Mini rant below and in the tags, the only time I’ll talk about this and my personal take on it.

The way people talk about hypothetical male Anya on Twitter and the idea of how Mouthwashing would play out if the genders were swapped makes me remember how people still don’t take sexual assault and rape with male victims with the same gravity, especially when the perpetrator is female.

Xelzaz's line on Maormer made me chuckle because... y'know. Yorick. Also been rocking a hood w/ his usual face mask so you can't see shit on his head so he could easily pass for whatever which is fun for situations like this??? idk Anyway!!

Playable Maormer w/o needing mods when (never, I know but shh)

I might be the only person that jokingly threatens people I'm comfortable with but y'know. Never said I was good with people. Said the opposite actually lmao

Also I keep drawing Yorick as super aggro but I think that's just the Nebarra effect because he's a space cadet tbh.

was gonna have Xel and Lucifer say something at the end here but I... forgot what but also not happy with these faces because blah blah argonian hard blah. Same thing I'm always complaining about lmao

Judging

anyway, silly nonsense that's probably funnier in my head but now it's OUT of my head and that's what's really more important tbh. That all of you have to be inflicted with it is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

I guess we're all chuckling at conservatives threatening to rape their political enemies because "that's gay, does he know he sounds gay right now" even though we all already know rape is about power and control, is a common form of violence used to harm and degrade perceived enemies, is a weapon of war, we know that right? Please tell me we know this? This isn't news? Mockery is always a good weapon to deploy against fascists, I guess, so chuckle away, but this is the least surprising thing I've seen all year. (It's not like homosexual rape threats are not a pretty common thing to see on Twitter these days! For the reasons mentioned above!)

[This may be the sign that I've spent too much time on Twitter, though I won't say I've done too much reading on sexual violence, maybe some people haven't done enough.]

I love so many things about this... The objectification, the dehumanization, the very obvious use. But it also makes me thnk about what is going on behind the scenes in this relation. Being kept in a chastity belt, sure. Having an interesting evening with bondage, collar gag and blindfold, absolutely. But what happened before this. Look at the dress. Is this the conclusion of date night? Well. I am down for some date night.

Its actually making me mad as fuck that while palestinians are endlessly being killed, the maniacs perpetrating it are shamelessly stealing their food and their culture for their own shitty restaurants, and advertising it as if they didn't rip and appropriate those recipes from the bloodied hands of Palestinians. Modern day colonization

something about white women swarming to mock Nara Smith doesn't sit right with me. "Tradwife" content is nothing new but the second a black woman gets a lot of attention for it, suddenly everyone has an opinion.

This isn't to say that "Tradwife" content isn't extremely problematic and that the cases of DV within Mormonism aren't a very pervasive problem but, again, it has been a consistent issue for years on many social media apps - even during 2020 TikTok, by predominantly white women.

But the second a black woman has started doing it, all the videos I see are attempts of satirical mockery of Nara Smith from white women and pushed onto a lot of tags such as "#feminism".

When has mocking a woc ever been feminist?

anytime someone's like 'oh this R-rated comedy from the 90s or 00s didn't age well' i just think. friend, it wasn't good when it came out either

[nightmare-chaser]

Listen ive watched a lot of hbomberguy eviscerating shitty entitled white guys who do shitty things, but this latest video is the first to make me like, personally react, like my jaw was dropping and i dont have the words to describe my feelings as a queer woman listening to some fuckin business major use other queer creators works to make misogynistic, bi- trans- and lesbophobic queer-erasing commentaries

Awaiting something... Interesting. I really like the focus on the pear of anguish. It is such a nice and effective little device.

[burningchapel]

oh catholic aesthetics are bad bc catholic church is bad oh ohhhh oh!!!!!! Shut up. . we all love shiny things, fancy fabrics, and art, and the best of us also love erotic subtext and scenes of violence. if you dont you are in the minority. the real problem is the church's monopoly on so much of the stuff, which is why the goal is to liberate such associated imagery and similar aesthetics from the context through transgressive appropriations that expressly subvert challenge and mock the church's and its allies's sensibilities.... but anyway. we're allowed to like gold jewlery and colorful glass and vaulted ceilings, thats raw instinct shit. like crows do that
