you can always tell when someone doesn't have maga men in their life and god it makes me angry.. "if you're nice and compassionate you can be the one woman that makes them realize women aren't mean!" my mom bent over backwards for my dad for 25 fucking years he has plenty of other women kissing his ass and it never changed anything. do you really think that before being radicalized they never knew a single kind woman? they were never friends with a nice girl? alt-right men's problem with women isn't just that they've experienced too many mean women and they need to be shown that women can be nice, it's that they think women are inferior and don't deserve rights and don't understand anything so you can do what you want with them. and it takes a lot more than being nice to show someone that you aren't inferior. this isn't a case of being nice even when it's hard for the sake of deradicalization, it's about spending every fucking interaction with someone trying to get them to see you as a human being with value and a functioning intellect while they just laugh and show you that's never going to happen.

i cannot stress this enough: random women are not just going out and Being Mean to men. ur average guy interacts with plenty of women throughout his life- close women amongst their friends and family, casual interactions etc. most people don't start out being shunned by women, they start out being treated as NORMAL. & when they show their disrespect in normal society, it isn't tolerated, but when they go to alt-right spaces (which they're pushed towards online) they're told they're allowed to be as horrible as they want with no consequences because they're entitled to everything. it isn't "women aren't welcoming and the alt-right is so friendly so i'll become alt-right," it's "women don't let me disrespect them and the alt-right tells me fuck them, do whatever you want, you're entitled to it all" and why would you choose the group where you have to be a normal accountable person when there's a group that will reward you for being a shithead who gives no fucks?

the alt-right can afford to be more friendly and welcoming because they can allow bigotry. this can't work the same way for progressive spaces because we can be as kind & welcoming as possible but at the end of the day we have lines where we have to say "this behavior/speech isn't allowed in this space," and for certain people, that just can't win against a space where you can be as nasty as you want. these posts always end with a disclaimer saying "of course being kind doesnt mean you need to tolerate their bigotries" but what they don't realize and what drives me crazy is that women not tolerating bigotry IS the "women are mean" that radicalized them in the first place. they perceive you pushing back on any bigotry or bullshit as you being a meanie and treating them like they're ontologically evil. the 'kindness' they need to be deradicalized is you letting them walk all over you.

idk what the answer is to deradicalizing them and im sure relationships are part of it but you can be as kind as you want and all it will do is destroy you ime. i cant stand to see people (who have never even successfully deradicalized any man by being nice btw they always speak in hypotheticals and not from experience) double down on telling women to do things that will see no results and only hurt them, especially when any woman who has tried can tell you exactly how it went

watched tbosas today. needless to say i am obsessed with the red uniform skirt and they should have been wearing those the whole movie. thank you.

you know how sometimes theres some popular character and most of the fanstuff is mostly accurate on the surface but you personally have some lived experience shared w this character that enables you to have a deeper understanding of little nuances under the hood that inform things like their decision making and stuff. its on a sliding scale of accuracy of course. personally i mostly get this with my mental disorders with characters such as ogata but sometimes theres LITTLE TINY THINGS that bother me about specifically the various violence related fetishes. and the fact that it bothers me itself bothers me cuz i feel like. "oh Clearly you havent received or inflicted wounds for sexual pleasure". yes obviously they havent done that. nobody else does that. i am abnormal in nature and insane in the head

chapter 4 is done! again! now all i have to do is finish chapter 5 and then inevitably become unsatisfied with a previous chapter and spend my time adding on to that instead of doing anything else. maybe well be finished by june /hj

[spaciebabie]

sorry to like dump this on you you can delete this if it bothers you absolutely not obligated to answer it i just wanted to know and apologies in advance if i cross a line somehow-

so you know how when you get like. really fixated on a character. you know how that is. and its no coherent thoughts. its just 'THEM. THEM THEM THEM LOOK IT'S THEM LOOK AT THEM LOOKLOOKLOOK-' right? that's okay right? because everyone kinda churns out all these ideas and headcanons n stuff and my brain is just. yknow. that. that's okay right? i am literally incapable of anything else i am head empty i will stare at them blankly no thoughts.

...that is like, okay? right? kinda bothers me a bit that i can't really think of anything to characterize/add a little more depth to characters i get interested in because my scrambled thoughts literally do not do them justice-

hey nah ur fine, this is a common experience w/ppl, myself included. there's nothin wrong w/yu. its how ive experienced all of my blorbos and also all the things ive liked in general. i can speak abt a general idea abt who they are and stuff like that but going in deeper i just cant do it skdfjkdslfj

its why i cant leave good feedback on fics and i always feel bad that i cant pick em apart like others do but i mean!!! i just have a different brain!!!! yu have a different brain!!! the consumers are just as important ta the fandom ecosystem as the theorizers and/or hcers!!! its okay my friend :)

hello friends. do any of you who possess encyclopedic knowledge of actual play podcast the adventure zone know if it is ever established what actually happens to the people the IPRE crew attempts to take with them in the starblaster when the cycle resets? I know it's established that it isn't possible and that they do not make it to the next world after the reset, but does anyone know if that means they just like dematerialize, if they die, if they're put back on their home plane where they left it (to presumably also die during the hunger attack but the final outcome is relatively unimportant compared to the specifics for my purposes)? I feel like I've been trawling through the transcripts for ages and not only can I not find anything about this specifically, I keep losing track of which episode even addresses that bringing people with them is impossible in the first place (but I know it must exist because I know by the episode they get Fisher that it had been established bc griffin comments that they're aren't sure if Fisher will cross the reality border with them. so its somewhere but it is hiding from me specifically ig)

watching a youtuber talking abt a horror movie and itis so obvious when somebody has only talked to mental health professionals for like. depression or anxiety* . bc shes sitting here like Woah i dont understand this guys like engaged to a therapist why doesnt he understand that someone being mentally ill doesnt mean theyre an evil scary person... I am sorry to say this but even being a mental health professional doesnt mean you dont think mentally ill ppl r evil and scary and gross

*this is an assumption on my part bc this yter has never talked about having anything other than those afaik Obv its her right not to just in my experience and the experience of other ppl ive spoken to . it seems like if you have pretty much anything other than those and talk to a therapist you would not have this idea that mental health professionals are like. inherently understanding and whathaveyou
