was an ad for Gemini AI at the cinema and it really was like "hip young things who are cool like having verbal conversations with ai" "ask ai how you should fix a problem in your car" "ask ai about peoples star signs so you can base your relationships on its advice" "ask ai how to do your job" "ask ai how to have a conversation" "ask ai to think for you" "why would you ever connect with another human being again when you can just connect with ai" "who are you talking with? oh, it's just Gemini. say hi, Gemini, who is basically like a person and not a water-guzzling theft-driven algorithmic data cruncher"
and i simply thought that it looked and sounded like about a dozen famous "don't invent the torment nexus" dystopian science fictions but maybe i should ask ai how it "feels" about it
#truly it was a Choice ad#no it didn't say *ask ai to think for you*#yes it had *get relationship advice from your ai* and yes that relationship advice was based on astrology#yes it included that last sentence#and do all your professional-sounding stuff via ai#and yes it heavily heavily suggested in the imagery that you should just. chat with ai. because you want to chat with someone#also yes it said ask ai about how to fix your car...#anti ai#and yes the majority of the actors shown onscreen were using hip youth language and were DiverseTM#(in the sense of all being traditionally hot but hey this person may be trans or is black or a lesbian *gasp*)#so so so insidious#i never see filmed ads unless in the cinema#so i was shocked at the idea that these are just blasted out there

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangyao#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#I absolutely love the contrast between JGY and JGS in this scene.#While JGS is acting as an instagator and trying to fan the flames of discontent (pulling his devious (g) strings)#JGY tries to keep a fairly neutral stance. If anything he reads like someone who's attempting to chair an unruly group project.#Honestly I think this scene does so much to show us why JGY manages to become the respectable leader he does in the future.#He's actully good at leading discussions and doesn't rise to bait. He's trying to start a productive discussion with *real facts*.#There is genuine honour in his approach and he never jumps into the emotional bandwagon.#The issue at the moment is that he doesn't have same level of authority as the contrastively *worst* sect leader does.#Jin Guangshan has a very specific agenda - to gain power by throwing anyone he deems expendable into the gutter.#The story even explicitly calls him out on not being so different from Wen Rohan multiple times.#The insidious part is that he's surrounded by people who think this is all justified.#It's all about using the 'victim' narrative to leverage justification. Which I'll get into more in upcoming comics.#(cut off text in panel one is supposed to be 'dead girls walking' but I ran out of room to make that clear. whoops!)

It would be great if the "lesbians are valid for not wanting men" posts ever took off as much as the "lesbians can fuck men!!!! Lesbians should give men a chance!!!" posts. Wonder why that doesn't happen
#Who gains from lesbians ''just giving men one more chance''#Is it the men#It's so shitty and insidious that so much of this shit is coming from the queer community too.#I'll see a ''hey remember that lesbians are allowed to not like men. Remember that wlw love is oppressed specifically under patriarchy''#And for some reason it's reblogged by the same circle of 700 lesbians on here while#A post going ''lesbians can fuck men!!! Lesbians historically have had sex with men!!! Bi lesbians exist!! Remember men are an option lezzo#Gets 1 million notes#Like. We get it. You hate us. You hate that we exclude men. Should we throw a party. Should we invite transmascpetewentz

I'm so fucking sick of amatonormativity dude. Someone on Reddit left a comment that was basically like "the majority of people need a romantic relationship to be happy, it's how we're wired" and I responded saying that I disagreed and that more and more people (especially women) are finding fulfillment in other relationships and are happy being single.
I got heavily downvoted.
Of course most people like being in a committed relationship, but you don't have to be aromantic or asexual to enjoy being single. Maybe more people would like being single if we as a culture stopped pushing the narrative (especially on women) that being single is lonely, horrible, and depressing and that you need a romantic partner to be a complete person.
#amatonormativity is so insidious and prevalent and most people don't even realize they've fallen for the propaganda#like of course having a life partner is very important to a lot of people#but can we PLEASE stop acting like almost everyone is 'wired' for a monogamous romantic/sexual relationship#and people always fall back on 'well humans are social creatures we need to have relationships'#bitch I have my friends and family and colleagues what relationships am I lacking#amatonormativity#aromantic#aromantism#arospec#aspec#asexual#aroace#aphobia#1k

sometimes I think of all the on-the-surface warm, well-meaning but deeply ineffectual advice and attention john gives harrow through harrow the ninth (make some soup and get some sleep! get a hobby! don't be so hard on yourself! self care harrow! as long as I need take no actual responsibility in this relationship whatsoever I would have loved to be your dad!) set up against the stark truth that with his other hand he has been staging her attempted horrific murder again and again and again like a living nightmare on the logic that it will 'put her down or fix her'. and then I find that I wish there is a hell. a special hell where twitch streamers turned necromantic death emperors go
#the locked tomb#harrowhark nonagesimus#john gaius#harrow the ninth#this is why I don't buy john as misunderstood and initially well-meaning AT ALL#this is a pattern you see with him again and again and again -- right down to his interpersonal relationships#(and indeed it's in the more grounded interpersonal relationships you can most clearly see him as he is I think#the fantasy death empire of a thousand years doesn't register quite as viscerally because it's like. heightened; not quite real#but the emotional violence and manipulation that surrounds him? oh boy that is EXTREMELY real and scarily well-observed)#there's a premeditation to so much of what he does (contracts with planets that only end 'in the event of the emperor's death' anyone?#yeah john we get it you're hilarious and I wish you weren't)#the greatest trick john ever pulled was making anyone think he's just a lil guy. what does he know he's only god#when you first read the book the complete callousness of the other adults is so horrible that john seems like an oasis of care#(though you start to get this uneasy feeling when that care never seems to translate to like... relief or soothing or resolution)#and it makes it feel almost obscene when you find out what's actually going on#it's the mercy & augustine enabler hour but at least they're completely honest in their cruelty there#while john is -- well he sure is being john huh#this is just me being angry with him btw philosophically I don't think this is how the story will or should end#(with john slam dunked right into hell that is)#it's just... harrow is so vulnerable. and what he does to her is so insidious and fucked up#john is very deeply human. unfortunately the capacity to quite simply suck so much is deeply human too

heartbreaking: this viral post is saying things you completely agree with in the most irritating way possible
#mumbling#goD#thinking about that one cringing = pearl clutching post i saw a while ago#legitimately good points and the only time i’ve ever seen someone point out the linguistic shift#of ‘cringe’ going from verb to adjective and how that takes the blame off of the people DOING the cringing#like yeah! that’s it that’s the thing i’ve been trying to figure out how to say!!#the insidious shift from cringe as an action of the beholder to a property of the beheld is not only worth examining#but demonstrates a seriously important way our brains can be affected over time by language#that was something i didn’t even notice! sure it bothered me but i didn’t know how to express WHY#and i think it’s so cool to see someone finally manage to articulate smth that’s been pissing me off for years#HOWEVER#my god was op’s phrasing annoying the hell out of me for some reason#just written in such a grating writing style i couldn’t bring myself to reblog it even though i really wanted to

really gonna need everyone who intends to be posting about, following, etc, the met gala tonight to be acutely fucking aware of the racism, antisemitism, misogyny, islamophobia, and other ENORMOUS bigotries behind karl lagerfeld and how reprehensible it is to have an event like this themed and styled after a man like that.
#gav gab#met gala#not something i expect everyone to know offhand which is part of why it’s so insidious that he’s being celebrated like this#but yknow#give a google if you’re curious there’s uh. a lot out there

Fuck, the way Armand is becoming my favorite character. He's growing on me, like mold. I 100% stand with my cancelled wife. I love her. She has done nothing wrong in her entire and eternal life. She can gaslight me into thinking her last gaslighting attempt was my fault. Of course I asked you to erase my memory, my beautiful princess! She can betray me and set me up in trial for murder in a theatre, I know she only did it because she loves me. She can keep me in a horrible gray apartment and convince me it's not a jail. She is the embodiment of gaslight, gatekeep and girlboss, and honestly she's iconic... like RIP Louis and Lestat, I'd treat you right
#interview with the vampire#as always guillermo was right#his taste is unmatched#because armand is so deliciously insidious#i love him#iwtv

I'm almost certainly sure that every time Sophie describes "that" smile Howl has that Lettie and his other past girlfriends have fallen for, he's actually just... smiling. No anger or moodiness, just a warm Howl's smile and nothing more.
But the whole story is that no matter how much she grumbles about how he shouldn't use his smile on all these people and what a jerk he is, the truth is that no one actually fell for it. Except for her. And no one finds that crooked grin all that attractive. Except for her.
#like yeah all of that girl were in love with him he broke their hearts and all of it#BUT#I'm telling you no one actually sit here and though 'oh this smile how beautiful okay you caught me HOW COULD YOU'#Sophie is the only one#in fact there's nothing special in that smie he has that's an absolutely normal smile#so no one has that much attention to it or at least the way it looked#like maybe they did like him smiling but not with that commentary#SOPHIE'S ASS IS THE ONLY ONE#Howl just exists and once in a hundred years does something that doesn't make him an absolute jerk#and Sophie immediately sees it as his insidious plan to make everyone around him fall in love with him#which oh somehow includes her too.#howls moving castle#howl's moving castle book#hmc#hmc book#diana wynne jones#sophie hatter#howl pendragon#howell jenkins

enthralled by your vulture hoard but i've been moving a lot these past years and the moment i saw all those skulls something in me recoiled. how do you transport a collection like that?
Believe me, I'm pre-emptively getting grey hairs thinking about the next time I have to move.
The skulls aren't the worst part, they can be wrapped pretty securely and stacked in boxes. It's the delicate and unwieldy taxidermy mounts and the tons of books that I'm dreading.
#books are extra insidious because you think "it's just paper and it's rectangular they can't be that hard to take from place A to place B#but books are HEAVY#they're available everywhere and sometimes you can get them for cheap#it's so easy to accumulate way too many of them#so when the time to move comes you have to transport like 300 kg worth of books#answered#anonymous

Some of this fandom act like sexualising Mel is showing respect for her character "I hate Mel but she's super hot... I think Jayce only wanted her for her body but who wouldn't" and I don't know its just incredibly exasperating to find that people think centring Mel's beauty and body and only valuing or finding her worthy of discussion when it comes to these things is somehow a kindness or worse yet an advocation.
#fandom misogynoir is so insidious#mel medarda#arcane#I'd rather you not like her and be quiet about it#what a beautiful tranquil thought#arcane spoilers#jayce talis#oh well as long as she's super sexy and beautiful who cares if she's a multifaceted human being
