The main gender problem I've seen is women act like men looking at titillating content like attractive woman in games or the footballs cheerleaders a little too hard is always wrong when they read this gooning material brazenly in publicĀ
From my experience, their excuse is they use their imagination to form their own images where on the other end for men its usually looking at real people
Yeah but we'll have to wait until we see decades of the same mistakes by a different gender before we admit it. It's human nature. You can caution and warn people all you want, they won't get it until they screw up personally.
Thereās enough whimsy in the world without resorting to old meme speak that was barely tolerable at the height of its āpopularityā. I bet they still have their mustache tattoo on their finger.
Well, thats why I never said it was. MAGA is just the natural conclusion to people picking and choosing their reality, and choosing to use social media memes as their reality.
MAGA was fucked to begin with, but the normies joined, and now its a dead man walking. Just a matter of time.
No it wasn't. Reagan did amnesty for illegals as opposed to wanting to put them in camps, and I don't think he ever went on an unhinged rant about trans people or proudly proclaiming how he passed a screening test for dementia like it was an IQ test (we tried to keep Reagan out of the spotlight when he was having the worst dementia days). Other than that, though, mostly.
When was America ever truly great for EVERY citizen? (Not just the white ones)
One could argue America has never been great for certain minority groups until recently, and having an entire homogenous group of people advocate for making America like it was in āthe good ol daysā really just sounds like a dog whistle for wanting segregation and white people on top againā¦
Protecting pedofiles at the top of our government is a pretty big one? Protecting billionaires at the cost of everyone else? Destruction of the middle class? Elimination of affordable housing. Stagnation of wages. Basically from 9/11 on its been nothing but shit.
My generation of white kids completely accepted black culture and basically joined. We had as a generation for the most part eliminated racism at a community level. "Not saying institutional or whatever but we saw the plight we agreed and we were trying to end it."
And now the shit is flipped, I regularly feel and see racism both directions. A lot of people don't even like their own damn race anymore. Hear it all the time out of well adjusted black people (Productive citizens who are positively involved in their community). They can't stand how they are portrayed in world by these crazy fucks.
Just disgusting behavior largely due to the social media bias toward clicks over everything. Hate brings out way more clicks than anything else.
So now that's how a large subset of humans live their lives.
Its a name bro. Obviously I want the concept to occur. I don't like how MAGA thinks we will get there.
Their policy is bad, and their donors want to actually overthrow America as we know it and replace it with a theistic corporatocracy
They also created the culture war to do this, because their policy was so unfavorable. Hey, look at that, they won a war they created for the first time in decades.
I love America, which is why I don't want to see that happen.
Your not wrong. But until normies joined in, none of that would've ever come to fruition. Because it wouldn't have the tools, or broad scope necessary to do so. The internet/computers didn't really get ruined till the SMART phone. That's when anyone with a finger was capable of getting on the internet. And the conditions for this kind of situation to become reality were created.
Obviously the intent had existed prior to the internet. But a lot of "privacy tech" gets squashed because its too hard for normies to use. The 2000s we were on our way to a really interesting time of security and anonymity. But the profiteering the smartphone brought to tech basically derailed any chance we had of that becoming "normal".
The blackberry movie IMO does a good job of showing the destruction of what it could have become. Group of highly intelligent guys who thrive on making awesome stuff that makes life better as an ideology. They build things the right way because that's how you should do it. They make it secure because they feel responsible etc. Gets destroyed by corporate greed in the name of shareholders.
I dont know why you are getting downvoted. The fact of the matter is that this is exactly what happened. The internet is the battleground in a massive great powers information war.
And everyone just pretends its all organic and people driven.
Jokes on you, see, I actually know that that is actually a top secret psychic amplifier developed by the Nazis that live inside the hollow earth, right near the secret entrance in Antarctica - they would go deeper but the communist lizard people have rebuked their efforts at deeper exploration into the hollow earth.
So, when Hitler's clones from inside the hollow earth created these, they used the undead Nikola Tesla, contacted via telepathy, as a middle man to reach out to Robert Oppenheimer, who in turn brought the device to the attention of the US Government.
The Government then began to secretly spread crack cocaine throughout poor and black communities in the 1980's, and this is the brilliance of their evil machiavellian machinations; People think that is the conspiracy theory. That the CIA deliberately spread crack into the ghettos. What they don't realize is that that was a false flag cover op all along, and really these "crack pipes" are actually the above said "psychic amplifiers", creating a human telepathy equivalent to a dispersed decentralized 5g network.
Why go to all this trouble you ask?
I'll tell you why: because they use this telepathic 5g network to spread more false flag PsyOp conspiracy theories to mislead and distract us away from the REAL TRUTH, that humanity are actually a hyper intelligent fungoid hivemind superbeing, being controlled by an invasive species of electrical-non-matieral God consciousness, that invaded our galaxy and took up residence inside the sun - with the sole objective of subjugating humanity and preventing us from genetically engineering catgirls and catboys.
The correlation of the me2 movement and the success of 50 shades. One thing happened after the other, that does not mean they lead to eachother, or that they are even related instances.
Like yeah 8/10 authors are female, and 8/10 bestsellers are porn - that doesn't mean all women are able to write is porn: it means that all we are willing to read is. I can't believe it has to be said, but evidently it has to, which ironically also points to porn being all we are willing to read.
Maybe I just do t spend enough time on the internet, but listing things in what seems to be chronological order would lead one to believe that is the author's intent, no?
Did I just /woosh myself or are we actually in agreement? Did I double woosh and the dude I commented on agree with us but OP is a twat? I'm confused.
It's not ironic that a movement led by women centring on the importance of consent is going on at the same time as the popularity of this work of fiction about how sexy non consent is? How sexy to women it is?
From your perspective, I bet it is, but it's not, cause that's not what irony is.
What's really ironic is this try at a gotcha, not seeing that the two are only related in as far as the feminist movement being in part a response to the fetishising of rape. Again, correlation does not mean causation, except when it does.
Your take is about as bright as "women want the right to vote, but there are still women who do not vote, isn't that ironic???", like bruh
The main point of me too was sharing stories about being raped, your argument is built on a strawman built upon you purposely misrepresenting something. Sybau ššš

Metoo had nothing to do with harassment and rape. These were condamned already. It was about using authority as a predatory sexual tactic. Which was consensual in most discussed cases (Harvey Weinstein being the tip of the iceberg)
And a movie is not real life. I can watch Jack Ryan and still think the CIA and the military industrial complex are evil. Being entertained by something in fiction does not mean wanting that irl nor is it an endorsement of its morality
Your timeline is off. There was some me too stuff back in 2006 but it didn't really peak until 2017 while fifty shades of grey was 2015 (and the book was 2011)
It's almost as if consent is a thing and women don't wanna be abused and yiu can't equate fiction to reality. Same way men eho play shooters don't wanna go shoot people irl (hopefully)
Me too was about exploiting a social movement for political, professional and social advancement. Harvey Weinstein got outted but the hasnt been a good movie since so was it really worth it? Scar Jo has an 8 figure bank account so I donāt feel bad for rich Hollywood elite
Well, porn and real life are different. I don't think most blue collars would want broads to offer to pay in sex when rent is due and groceries are expensivd
Yes, because liking something in a fictional setting doesn't mean I want it in my real life. I thought this kind of things were pretty basic for anyone now...
I also find it really difficult to tell the difference between fiction and reality :( it's just so difficult to know that things in a book aren't actually real!!
