I am not afraid at all of touching my vagina, but tampons are messy, even more wasteful than pads because they hold in so little, and are mildly uncomfortable. There are a lot of pad options as well if you feel like "wearing a diaper", there are smaller ones, at least in my country. I actually prefer the bigger ones, cause I feel safer and they last longer, and they are not visible through jeans or anythig.

Probably not unpopular here since there are a lot of radfems, but saying that having a hoe or slutty phase doesn't correlate with more rape or violation of boundaries/consent and is the same as victim blaming for wearing revealing clothes is dishonest. The more sex partners you have, the more likely you are to end up with a scumbag if you don't know how to spot them (and sometimes they are very good at hiding,) just because you're dealing with more people the chances go up. It's not the same as someone assuming you're easy and should be raped because of your clothes, you're giving consent to do some number of sexual acts. But people think they can take it from you even if you change your mind mid-date or hookup, or they do things that hurt or harm you or you don't want to do. The more people you deal with who expect things from you, the more likely it is that you can get coerced or stuck in a situation where someone doesn't listen to you say no.
I would strongly suggest against anyone using casual sex as a bandaid because it's probably even worse than using a (non-abusive) relationship for the same since your boundaries are eroded and you could act irresponsibly due to your mental state, either to your physical or emotional safety. Adding more people to a situation almost always seems to complicate things and add more potential for danger if you don't if know you can fully trust them. Outside of here, I never see it talked about, only the virtues of hoeing around and how it's so great.
I think pushing it as a cure all or one size fits all is also bullshit and feeds into a desire for women to be sexually available to men and sexually desirable rather than letting women be actually sexually free. I never had a hoe phase and never plan on it, I don't see it as liberating especiallybecause I don't want to.* I'm not less enlightened or too uptight just because I don't want to have sex with a lot of people, just like someone isn't more enlightened for having threesomes with strangers.

No. 427060
>>426874Idk if you're exaggerating for humor with changing every four hours, but almost no one does that unless they're bleeding a ton. The recommendation is something like 8 hours max, but I'm pretty sure it takes several hours more for the risk of TSS to go up. Heavy and overnight pads are uncomfortable and feel like diapers, plus it feels like I leak even with wings if I move too much, idk what type you usually wear. And what kind of tampons did you try? I use non-applicator and they're way more comfortable to remove and wear. I won't try to convince you to use tampons, I personally combine and exchange them as needed. Extra thin mini pads when I'm really really light and spotting, tampons for light flow and heavy in daytime, pads for overnight. You can take the benefits of both.
>>427017Pretty sure that Rely and other tampons from the 70s/80s that used "super absorbent" materials caused the fear because they did cause a lot of TSS. Nowadays you have to be going way over the limit to get TSS, most of the time. There are also cotton tampons that are way less likely to cause it, since TSS is caused by incubating staph from the synthetic fibers.

a lot of suburban parents become less involved in their kids development to 'encourage independence' or whatever. so the kids who weren't encouraged to work on their own drop off and realize they lack 'work ethic' but think the previous praise was their own effort. but it was really the effort of their mommy who drilled them on their multiplication tables before other kids.

>>427061idk if I mentioned in my first post but people have tried to convince me to hoe out when I don't want to and I don't appreciate it because it's like no one is listening to me. I'm pretty sure some of it say it because they think it'll make me fuck them and no, it won't, sorry. Women shouldn't be blamed for rape and assault but we have to recognize as well that many men are opportunist assholes with shitty conceptions of consent and that your decisions are not made in a vacuum. Hoeing around can be "rebellion" against people forcing you to be chaste and allow you to have the sex life you want, but it can also be a manner in which men objectify women or control them for their sexual use.
>>427076>I had a hoe phase. I think the empowerment thing is more along the line of “woman shouldn’t be shamed for having multiple consenting partners and victim blamed for having boundaries violated”. It ends there.This is right/true, and you're correct that most of the time it ends there, but I've seen people try to treat it as that you're abnormal if you don't do it or are "missing out" while ignoring a lot of the issues with it. Unbridled sex positivity has burnt out even many libfems because of how it doesn't acknowledge problems in the system and culture or harms them by not being critical. I didn't have a hoe phase per se but used to flirt a lot and was poly briefly. I'm actually happier now and realize that a lot of what I did then was trying to make men like me, it's sad. Even back then I think in my heart I knew I did it for validation and liked the attention, because I had a deep fear that people would leave once I became unavailable sexually or romantically. The reality is that it's more likely for you to have your boundaries violated if you have a hoe phase, and that knowing how to deal with people esp men who don't listen is really important and cannot be ignored in favor of only all the fun stuff, but that it's not ok that it happened to you. Growing assertiveness I suppose and knowing when to get out and how. It's harder when it happens because you can freeze or it takes time to sink in, but I hope that some people can have that.
One of my friends hoes around and got assaulted and I'm really angry, I would never blame her for that happening to her, but I did tell her she needs to stop sleeping around because she's in a vulnerable mental state/undiagnosed autistic and I think scummy men are trying to take advantage of her because they can tell she would make a good target.>Men literally can not feel used and devalued when you’re sucking their dick.

Dry cardboard for the base, and usually not enough sauce which wasn't tasty nor cheese. Not to mention the grease puddles people used to sop up with napkins on the top.
One kid in my first grade class used to fill a quarter of his tray with ranch dressing and SOAK the shitty pizza in it. To this day the images of ranch dressing dripping down his chin as he chewed with his mouth open haunts me occasionally.

Relationships are more harmful to women's success and wellbeing, and more beneficial to gross men.The women having casual sex are just as susceptible to getting into relationships and ultimately it seems as if relationships are actually their goal. They always end up dating the guys they're fucking, or end up in a relationship anyways. I don't necessarily agree that fucking men casually isn't similarly or more harmful than a relationship. The majority of women that I see that are into casual sex are just as wrapped up in these flings and relationships with men they sleep around with, honestly. Maybe they're not living with them, but rarely are these women not actually impacted by the turds they're sleeping with.
>Look at all the dissatisfied women with pornsick/selfish men at home.Ehhh, I think men in relationships put a little more effort forward than the fuckall effort skanky men put in. They still put in practically 0 effort, especially in proportion to the amount that women sacrifice in relationships, but I think it's still measurably more. Not to mention the danger, the risk to your health, just being so, so intimate with an absolute stranger, I mean, it's a terrible idea.

I get that casual sex with men is dangerous for women, but so is being in a relationship, statistically. No man is more likely to beat you/rape you/kill you than your partner.
You're arguing from the standpoint of wanting women to GTOW and believe me, I understand and agree. I'm genuinely in favor of voluntary extinction, that's how strong my disgust is for men as a life-form.

He doesn't get a mother or a maid, but he gets sex, an ego boost, bragging rights, and the impression that he's got one over you.
I think it's a matter of whether or not you're willing to cut off your own nose to spite your face. I'll definitely give up sex if it means I don't give some entitled loser access to my body, even if I want it. Not every woman is going to feel the same.

I think the pressure to be as thin as possible and also having big breasts is just as difficult as being a gym rat body with big boobs and ass, tho I recognize than in the 2010s more diverse body types and looks are considered beautiful now especially since we are far more forgiving of straight up out of shape women, lol.

I think in the 2000s men were expected to look sexier than their 2010s counterparts even tho this was the time the grossly hypermasculine douchebro and thug aesthetic became the thing and carried over to now.

>>427282They weren't, that anon has blinders on or something. Now plastic surgery and photoshopping are practically expected of everyone. Before you could be skinny and have a flat butt, have a normal butt, whatever. You could be a normal size without needing to be a curvy goddess. Now all women feel pressured to look like insta thots. It's still just as stigmatized to be chubby or fat if you don't have boobs or ass. Being a silly bimbo was never actually valued beyond some of their styling. Look at how Anna Nicole Smith, Britney, and Paris were mocked. And I personally think their aesthetic could be cute without being necessarily sexy all of the time, it was just pinkified rich girl shit, not necessarily stripper garbage like it is today. Sexiness is played up waaaay more now. There's more racial acceptance, acceptance of diversity, but I think it truly was a bit more wholesome back then, and it wasn't just nostalgia goggles.

You couldnt be ten pounds overweight or have a too wide frame or too big thighs or ass in the 00s without being bashed for it like you cant be skinny with a flat ass and no tits now we igi but you are focusing too much on one side to try to prove some point. They both were and are
toxic in their own way
Also you say I have blinders but you have nostalgia goggles for Anna, Nicole, and Paris who were considered very trashy and porny for that time, actually their popularity is the reason why the sex worker look is so widely accepted and replicated these days lmao
Idk about wholesome but the smaller prelevance of SM and internet made people a little more in their own world but I also said this…

Samefag but remember how a very fit and toned Beyonce was called fat back in those days for having a slightly wider build and bigger thighs than what was commonly accepted as the IT girl standard then?

>>427288Honestly, Paris wasn't that bad. I made a collage of her outfits from 2001-2004 or so. Her trashiest outfits (circled) were basically all from one short timespan: 2001, when she just recently turned 21, iirc. They really weren't that bad for the majority of her time as a star. Like I said, it was mostly just pinkified rich 'prep' girl shit.

>In any type of relationship not only intimate ones.
If someone was once treating you terribly for a period of time and after a while they come back trying to get back to you do not let them in again, I was foolish enough to let many have second chances but people do not change… maybe it would be all rainbows at first but then issues from the past will rise and they will mistreat you again, people who used you once will always view you as a tool, people who bullied you once will always view you as a fool, people who wronged you for they entirety of your relationship will do it again, just save yourself the time and misery and say no.
But, in case you left because they were fine but something actually happened (unlike others who say they didn't know better) and now they're back to normal you can give them a chance, imo there's a difference.
And for the ones who come broken after they made your life a living hell, say no as I said and enjoy their suffering.

>>427300I mean, I don't know what to tell you but that if Beyonce and JLo were so "fat" to the general populace, that time wouldn't have been their heyday, but it was. Britney was never stick thin but wasn't called fat by like, anyone. Britney would never be famous today because she has always been muscular and athletic (but really beautiful). No one EVER said shit about her figure back then. She was literally the most physically desired pop star and everyone wanted to look like her or have her. I made another collage, but this time of Britney from 2000 to 2003. She would absolutely be shit on for having a "fridge body" or some shit now. No one said anything negative about her figure. Hillary Duff was incredibly famous, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes, etc, and none of them were stick thin. And as far as what black girls and black women were told, honestly, losing weight and being thin is more achievable and healthy (even though I don't think being stick thin was an expectation for the average girl, considering the literal most admired pop star in the world wasn't thin at all and was pretty muscular for a woman) compared to looking like a blow up doll with huge lips, huge ass, huge tits, etc. How are ass injections and silicone ass injections being normalized any more healthy than having like, an 18 bmi?
I don't think anyone thinks Paris was wholesome? Everyone knows she got famous from the sex tape and she was mocked for being dumb back then, as was Jessica Simpson, Anna Nicole, etc. I mean, they were ribbed on for not seeming intelligent.

It's impossible to meet the current beauty standards for
anyone without surgery and photoshop. Whereas all you really needed to do to meet the pre-2010 beauty standard was to be slim and fit.
The result is teenagers are growing up editing their pictures to crazy extremes, getting botox and lip injections before they're 20, and plastering themselves in layers and layers of makeup. The beauty industry is laughing. The previous "beauty standards" are now considered basic Stacey's with fridge bodies. Never mind that that's what most women er, actually look like. But we'll pretend fetishizing other races makes everything ok even though those beauty standards are still unachievable for
any race without surgery and shoop.

I disagree that the 00s body was achieveable for bw on average, many of them have wide hips and naturally curvy bodies and the ruler shape being in at that time they were at odds with it. Plus many of the celebrities promoted at this time were thinner than the ones who came before

The early 2000s were a pretty awful time when it came to body-shaming, honestly. It wasn't even about being "healthy thin" (which Beyonce, Britney and a lot of these other celebrities were), people would pick apart women if they weren't rail thin. If a celebrity's stomach stuck out even slightly, she'd be on the tabloids the next morning with an arrow pointing to her stomach, a red circle around her thighs and a headline like "GAINING WEIGHT, UNLOVED AND DRUG-ADDICTED".

Also the whole "contour thicc queen" is a specific standard about one type of women that's being pushed but it's not the sole archetype expected from women. In my college there is not one single instathot and all the more popular/pretty girls are white, slim, natural make up, fresh faced etc…
Honestly, when people talk about instathot being the "only thing acceptable" now just make it seem like you never go outside and base your worldview on instagram.
>>427311Britney wasnt being called fat at the slave4u and oops era but when she gained a little bit of weight, everyone was calling her fat, what are you talking about?

Hell, Taylor Swift might be called figure-less by a few people but she still has a huge audience that salivates at her sight, just as Kim K and Cardi B are still called ridiculous and fat in many many circles.
I agree that slim/fit is the best look and is generally more achievable. But if you naturally have a big ass or big tits, even skinny, you wont be able to turn your body into an assless titless skinny body and the 2000s truly fashioned a flat ass.
Women will always be torn about their looks and I'm not saying that today's beauty standards are better than the 2000s but thinking that you
have to have a huge ass today to be considered beautiful is delusional and only goes to show what kind of social circle you have (or you don't have and just base your worldview on instagram).

The fashion back then was basically very very low cut jeans which you could only pull off if you had a flat, trimmed stomach. EVERY celebrity woman was showing off their midriff and I mean fucking EVERYONE. The "trashy $5 slut" (pic related) style was really in back then and of course every teenage girl wanted to emulate it. Whenever I look back on shit people wore in the early 00's I'm just baffled at how that was ever acceptable.
It's not THAT different from what it is now because eating disorders and body dysmorphia still exist within young women but I feel like you definitely see a lot more variety and healthier bodies and more tasteful clothes than in the early 00's.

Just go watch that "Stupid spoiled whore playset" episode of South Park and there's a pretty accurate description of what the early 00's were for a teenage girl.
However I agree that people were much more social, fun and outgoing back then. And everything wasn't slathered with cheap populist politics all over it.

I explicitly remember people who were adults orteens during the 70s 80s and 90s lamenting on how the new generation of girls had such a tight and bad standard then. The 2010s is more lax body wise because women more fat than ever can be seen as mainstream sexy

Black girls no longer wore their natural hair since they either permed it or covered it with weaves and dark skin women didnt make it to the mainstream much anymore as the music got watered down by shit hop and degenerate brainless shit hop culture being forced down our throats

I like the rebuilds of Evangelion slightly more than NGE, and I hate that anyone who dares have that opinion is treated like a retarded leper.
I still think the End of Evangelion is better than the rebuilds. When I say "NGE", I'm referring to just the show, not the movie. The movie is obviously awesome and superior.
I think people who hate the rebuilds have nostalgia blinders on. The original series had some really cringey filler in it, lest we forget. It was also really inconsistent tonally (which I understand to be part of the charm, but it gave me wiplash personally). It was a good anime, certainly, but it wasn't perfect.
This isn't to say that the rebuilds aren't flawed, either- they definitely have issues. I agree that they dropped the ball with Asuka's character by getting rid of her stuff with her mom and the dolls. However, I really like what the rebuilds did with Kaworu. The stuff with him felt more built-up, less out-of-nowhere.
Idk. I understand people preferring the original, but the active hatred of the rebuilds strikes me as being really melodramatic, especially when people feel the need to ostracise people who do like them. God forbid someone like a fucking Japanese cartoon you don't like!

>>429284Same! I like Shinji, too. I think he's a realistic character, and all the memes about what a little bitch he is feeling unfair. He's reacting to his situation like most fourteen-year-olds would. Asuka is somewhat interesting (if annoying), but Rei is just a plot device. I feel like Misato is a little one-note, too, but I still like her.
I think the neckbeards who originally made Eva popular in the states placed too much importance of the "waifu-bait" characters, and their self-insertion of Shinji caused them to hate him when he acted like a damaged kid instead of a Gary-stu.
>>429360I'm the anon who originally brought up Evangelion. I say, give it a try but go in with low expectations as far as Asuka goes. She's not even in 3.33 much.

>>429506>>429284I like the female characters in Eva, but you guys are right that they don't get developed much. At least not as much as Shinji. This affects all of them to some degree, but I think Rei (and to a lesser extent Ritsuko, but she's not a main character anyway) gets the worst of it. Anno said himself that her character development was finished after episode 6.
It would've been cool if her story ended in her getting to affirm her identity (since she wasn't entirely human or Lilith), especially in a way that didn't directly involve Gendou or Shinji.
Sorry for the rant. I love Gunbuster too, Noriko is a fun character.

>>429182Anons are right that there was less pressure in the 90s and 2000s for celebrities to look perfect, but thats because the internet wasn't a thing. A fashion faux pas at an award show might get you laughed at on VH1 for one night, and in a couple magazines but thats it. Now? A fashion faux pas will trend on twitter, get made into a meme, inspire fifty trending hashtags and buzzfeed articles. The scope of the public eye has increased. Celebrities went to movie premieres in the 90s looking like shit because they weren't huge deals, but now they are.
Also, cameras have gotten better. When you have HD cameras in everyone's pocket these days theres more pressure to never be caught looking bad.
The 90s/00s did have their own strict body standards, but anon here

Also as an anon who can talk about india, their caste system is really fucked.
There was a BBC documentary about people with disabilities trying to "find love" in india. One guy who had disabilities (I think they were both mental and some physical) found a girl who he liked and she liked him. When he found out she was from a lower caste he looked down on her and said it was unacceptable to be with her. The film maker was astonished and asked why caste should matter, and the guy said that she was below him.

>>431539I'm African, and in my experience, many people do agree that it's essentially neocolonialism, but they don't care. They're so jaded about the corruption of their leaders that they're glad to be getting
something out of foreigners taking advantage of them. They even joke that they'll be speaking Chinese soon enough. It's a nihilistic front, and like you said, it's not as bad as it
could be.
Out of the west's brand of pure evil that's been enacted for hundreds of years (and is still ongoing, if you look at what the US did in Libya, understand how they sparked off slavery, and take into account how much they didn't want Gaddhafi to unite Africa and turn it into an independent part of the world), the poison in their own political spheres (leaders unapologetically placing their own ethnic group above others, sheer greed, extremist killings, complete apathy born from classism, etc) and China's opportunism, they'd rather go with the last one. At least the Chinese are actually giving back to them. It's a "Pick your poison" kind of deal.
From what I've seen, what actually pisses a lot of people off is when western media outlets tut and go on about colonialism or exploitation, because a lot of the time, it smacks of jealousy. Low-key "The Chinese are getting in on
our turf!
We should be the ones exploiting Africa, as we always have!" thoughts, not true concern.
I personally think the Chinese need to be kept on a very short leash, exploited for whatever they have to offer and then discarded, because they don't actually respect the countries they're coming to do business with.
I'm already reading stories about Chinese people coming to African countries, making "Chinese only" establishments, disrespecting the locals, refusing to teach them in what are presented as mutually educative spaces, and generally making asses of themselves. IMO, if they're anti-black and racist, they shouldn't leave their country. They should stay home, continue being broke, eat plastic and scramble for money while doing factory work among their own kind. Too bad everyone will probably ignore this behavior until it's too late and they've made the place their own by owning a shitton of corporations where they'll only promote other Chinese people, and creating a populace of mixed kids that we'll have to accept as
valid.

>>431615>Whys it so unrealistic nowadays for women to be under 65kg.It's not just about being "under 65kg", lmao, holy shit. Are you like 12? Even porn stars have to get plastic surgery on their tits, vaginas, asses and pretty much customize their entire bodies just to fit the "aesthetic". Google "vaginoplasty", "vaginal rejuvenation" or "anal bleaching" sometime instead of saving porn pics from 4chan, anon.
It's unrealistic, plain and simple. Porn itself is just unrealistic as fuck and portrays a fucked up image of sex that's often either
abusive to women or outright retarded.
I do disagree with hating on porn stars themselves for it, though. There will always be women with little to no options for money other than to sell themselves. It's the exploitative companies and industries that should be held responsible.
>How hard is it for them to understand just because a men jerks it to porn doesnt mean its all hes attracted to?Because men see all sorts of stupid bullshit in porn and start getting
triggered when real life isn't the same. See: Men demanding sex acts seen most commonly in porn (anal, facials, etc) as if it's normal, shaved pussies (this wasn't a thing in the 70s, proof that men can be memed into sexualizing anything), bleached assholes, vaginas that literally only look one way in shape/size/color or else the girl must actually be a "slut" or some horrible mutant, that a woman isn't a virgin if she doesn't bleed during sex (when the truth is, you can't "break" a hymen, it never leaves the body, and you're actually not supposed to bleed during sex at all. Men have just been bad at sex, retarded about human biology and wholly uncaring about women's pain for generations), unironically thinking a woman has to be screaming with her eyes rolled back and/or squirting while crying otherwise she's not really enjoying it, etc etc.
Cumbrains are like dumb animals, or super impressionable children. They need more of a "high" every time with porn, and the things they watch become progressively more divorced from real life. Almost inevitably, they lose touch with reality and start expecting ridiculous things. It's not our fault they're retarded.

>always dtf, even if they reisist or say no initially>have no concerns regarding their safety or sexual health (ie surprise anal with no lube, going back and forth from vaginal to anal without cleaning up) >only exist to please the male's fantasy, and only orgasm if that's part of what the male wants to see >love to be degraded, used and abusedPorn has become progressively more violent and degrading, almost entirely towards women and feminine males, especially non-white women.

A friend of mine made one for a surgery she played up as "life threatening" and once her goal was met she didn't provide proof or any sort of information that the funds went to what they say they were advertised for. GFM doesn't require it to be provided so I seen a bunch of people we personally know donate and share her GFM because she might die!!!
Behind the scenes, it turns out the GFM funded a breast augmentation and lift… And that's it. Calling her out on it had her block me on social media, and a call that essentially was a veiled threat if I keep talking about it.

For context, I live in a major tourist destination
Everyone riffs on Chinese tourists with their eccentric behavior. But I've never been bothered by Chinese tourists, they're eccentric but wholesome. I don't mind them taking photos of everything, they're really enjoying themselves and I can appreciate that. American tourists are another group that have an unfair reputation, but I feel like this just came from 'woke' people during the bush era that confused American foreign policy with the american public. American tourists here are without fail super polite and respectful.
The worst tourists come from Germany or Scandinavia, most especially Germany though. They're always so banal and boring, and try to disguise their banality with a false, bohemian appearance. Yet they fly to my town on the opposite side of the world and sit inside the library on the computer for most of the day, so much for 'experiencing the world' kek. No other group will have the audacity to say how much things are better in their home country, only Western Europeans are that arrogant.

>>432392Word, anon. Chinese tourists can be ridiculously disrespectful and even here (Finland) they've known to trespass on private properties, litter all over them and peek into peoples' houses while they're inside (sometimes even using cottages for housing if nobody's home!) and overall treating ~the pure northern landscape~ as their own playground and forcefully taking photos of blonde kids without their consent. No other tourist group does this shit.
Related to the discussion above I can't stand it when Finland is being confused as being a part of Scandinavia. It's part of the Northern Europe but definitely not Scandinavia which consists of Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The cultural, genetic, ethnic, lingual and even geographical differences are pretty vast. This peeves me because I 100% agree that Scandinavians are smug assholes and I'd rather die than be grouped in with them. Certain demographics here are desperate to be considered Scandinavian because of muh colonization based inferiority complex and they love to spread this idea around.

Maybe I am being naive but I think this blackfishing phenomenon is not so horrible.
Having black features (hair, lips, butt, etc) is getting so hyped up, to the point that celebs are making so much effort to get that look. We have had decades and decades of black women trying to look white and now the tables have turned. Little by little, "being black" is getting a cool and desirable status.
I think it is a bit silly when people get all reeee because what do you want bitch? be marginalized? your culture to continue to be considered trashy, shitty and not something to be admired? Idk.

Sometimes I think of Emily Youcis and feel sad.
Imagine living life traumatized from CSA, hypersexual, self-loathing and completely fucked up. The few things keeping you alive are animation, creativity and friends, but you end up getting taken advantage of, abandoned and scorned repeatedly. Your mental health gets worse. You end up latching onto white supremacy groups for a sense of belonging, go full handmaiden/tradthot and try to "repent" for your past behavior by shitting on your own gender, saying women all want to be raped and that they shouldn't have rights. You swallow all sorts of nonsensical, biased information because not only does it give you a false sense of empowerment, it puts you in a "team" and shows you an enemy to fight against.
The /pol/tard brainwashing gets so bad, you go too far with the bullshittery and get fired from your actual paying job. You blame "The Jews" for trying to destroy you not just in this instance, but all your life. After that, you just kind of wander around aimlessly in this same shitty community. You do end up traveling to South Korea for a brief while, but you're mostly still lonely, still keep in contact with the /pol/ cult, and the best thing you can think to publicly say about the country is that most of the people there are of the same race.
You don't animate or create anymore. You barely express yourself unless it's to act as a political sycophant, and even then, you can't say certain things or fully be yourself half the time, since you might get too blatant with the agenda and get whatever propagandist you're being featured with banned. The people you ally yourself with call you a dumb whore left and right (but that's probably nothing new).
Your one salvation ends up being a marriage to some guy who probably sees you as "used, damaged goods" and never truly lets you forget it.
Finally, you're relegated to the occasional post on Gab, where at best, you might like someone's repost of an animation you made years ago, and share some shitty scribble you made at 10 years old. No more creativity, not much personality, just fitting yourself into a shitty tradwife mold formed by delusion.
I just feel like she had a lot of talent and personality, despite all the pain and bad decisions. She essentially threw it all away for this retarded alt-right tradthot meme. If she ever has kids, I wonder what she'll do if her husband abuses them the same way her dad abused her as a kid. The shit she's said honestly makes me worry a bit that she'd turn a blind eye, or even be an enabler, because it's "the white man's right to impregnate his own daughter and continue our race" or some BS.

All the people over 30 are fucking covered in gold rings and chains too. It's a trashy tradition around here, to show that you "can afford it", but there's plenty of pretty expensive not-gold metals. There's rose gold too and it looks much better than yellow gold.
Also for some reason most bags in cheapo shops I frequent have gold hardware too which annoys me to no end since I can't find a good bag with silver hardware and I've been looking for a couple of years now. I know I can buy online, but I like to see things for myself and try them out.

i've seen arab MUAs do this sort of thing, too. nothing really happens because arabs are literally irrelevant except when we're talking about dubai porta-potties or terrorism, so no one knows or cares. it doesn't mean they're privileged.
the UK and USA basically made white people as a whole globally known by force of politics, war, history and aggressive self-promotion, so of course they'll face more scrutiny.
don't worry, anon. you too can claim minority status and call them privileged. it's just too early right now. you'll have to wait for the next episode of colonialism and warmongering: asian edition.

I definitely didn’t feel safe when one of my ex’s (he was a white male) aunt and her friends chased me down and attacked me on my walk home.

I hate the whole SJW argument that all non-white characters need to have fat fucking noses and/or huge lips, or else they have "white features", or "they're just white with darker skin".
That take is so backward and "I can't think of anything to complain about today to meet my #woke quota, so let's just start making shit up"-style American that it pisses me off. When "PoC" say it, it just smacks of "I see white people in every plain image of a person. I'm literally obsessed with them, therefore, you must be too. Every character is literally just white unless you make them a caricature, so stop drawing white people, you racist!".
When white people say it, it smacks of "I'm coddled and narcissistic enough to see myself in everything, I'm the default in art, and that's on you to deal with. If a character has plain, non-caricatured features, that's just, like, literally me. Sorry, I don't make the rules. Sometimes, I feel guilty about this, so please change your art and add stereotypes so I can suspend my disbelief, thx".
Most art styles that get criticized for "looking white" look pretty fucking ambiguous IMO, because they're not realistic in the least. They're 100% simplified human faces. White people definitely don't own the bland features typically seen in many cartoons and anime. The argument is always "But small noses and big eyes though!", but even then, there are plenty of black, brown and Asian people that have small noses and big eyes, so what are you really trying to say?
IMO, there's just no reason to add dumb, vaguely (unintentionally) offensive markers just to "racialize" a character for the sake of audiences who are ignorant or troubled enough see white people as the default in everything. That's their problem to deal with, not the artist's.
If I didn't know any better, I'd think some of these weirdos are really just trying to trick people into regressing to drawing pic related just so they can come full circle and start complaining about cartoons being racist caricatures in the modern era.

>>435358there's a couple of problems at work in this situation:
1)most people in the SJW art crowd don't know how to draw, period. They're also refuse criticism and art school because it's "elitist/ableist/something-ist/etc."
2)because they cannot draw correctly, they stick to very limiting and simplistic styles of drawing like anime which force you to either be satisfied with only changing a person's skin color or adding in very caricatured features that come off as racist.
Where I disagree with you is that it isn't hard to depict people of color if you know how to draw. You can put bigger lips and noses on black people, for example, without turning it into a minstrel show. A good example of this Disney's design of Tiana and her family.

>>435378I think my issue is the quiet insistence that any given artist's style is meant to be read as "white" by default, based only on the viewer's own perception. Most of the time, they won't even take into account whether the artist themselves comes from a non-white culture, and if they might just be projecting their own ideas onto something that's very subjective. It always feels very self-centered and Eurocentric.
Also, a lot of the time, it seems like "PoC features" only really work through comparison, unless the art itself is explicitly meant to be very realistic. You have to have already seen the "normal" faces as "white", to an extent, and that strikes me as far more "racist" than what many of the people complaining about these things accuse artists of.
For example, would the audience still read the features of Tiana and her family as "black" if they had been the default style used for all the female Disney characters from the start? Probably not. I can't see people asking "Why do all these white characters look like black people with pale skin??" in that scenario, but for some reason, the other way around is very common.
I didn't have a problem seeing the main kid characters in, say, The Boondocks as black, and they don't have any specific "PoC features" besides their skintones and hair. They pretty much have the same face as the white and biracial characters around the same age, but I've never seen or heard anyone else complain that they "look white but with dark skin". It makes me feel like the entire complaint is just false outrage. If someone does see them that way, it's probably more of an issue in how they personally read into the art, not some sort of white supremacist agenda on the artist's part.

>>435358youre talking about two different extremes when it comes to depicting stylized poc in art.
Tumblr caricatures fail in that they tend to exaggerate poc features in a way that reduces them to stereotypes, yes, but honestly, making a character “ambiguous”, and in this case it kinda sounds like you mean with features befitting of a more western/eurocentric standard with tanned skin washed over it, just sounds sort of lazy and sort of pointless if the character is meant to be a poc
Yeah, some poc have little noses and big eyes, but a lot of us dont. Off the top of my head, some pretty good stylized poc that come to mind are characters from moana, craig of the creek, into the spiderverse, the boondocks, idk theres a lot more but thats right off the top of my head.
but anyway the point is, it is indeed possible to make a character blatantly representative of a poc with ethnic features without resorting to either of those extremes, i think most artists are just too lazy, unpracticed or their art style is hella limited and likely suffers same-face syndrome anyway

>>435420>making a character “ambiguous”, and in this case it kinda sounds like you mean with features befitting of a more western/eurocentric standard with tanned skin washed over it, just sounds sort of lazy and sort of pointless if the character is meant to be a pocI kind of touched on this in
>>435417. It seems like way too many art styles are erroneously framed as being "Eurocentric" by people who themselves come from a Eurocentric background. Sameface is a problem for many artists, yeah, but when people try to inject a racial conundrum into things, it kind of falls apart for the reasons I mentioned before. It only works if you have a certain mindset that doesn't really hold to reality, and actually seems quite damaging in the long run. I feel like it shouldn't be encouraged by preserving the notion that plain "normal" faces are white, and they can only be non-white if there's some sort of exaggerated "otherness".
Also, like
>>435430 said, I feel like people have way too narrow a view of "non-white" features.
I think Into The Spiderverse "works" in this regard because it's actually somewhat realistic in style. The same isn't really true for The Boondocks or CoTC. I mentioned The Boondocks before (it actually kind of sucked at differentiating ethnic features, with only a handful of exceptions in the cast. Huey, Riley, Jazmin, and Cindy MacPhearson with her other white friends all looked the same facially, and it was in an anime-style, so generic sameface was kind of obligatory), and I wouldn't have any trouble seeing the characters in CoTC as black if they had the same skintones and hair, but with generic lines for noses and no lip lines instead of what they have now.

>>435420A lot of Tumblr artists are very sheltered kids who haven't seen many people from other cultures. They can't necessarily help that depending on where they live, but it's best to have a good mental library and references when drawing.
Sameface syndrome is already something a lot of young artists struggle with, so when you add drawing races and ethnicities you're not familiar with into the mix it gets worse. That's how you wind up with artists who just draw the same black person every time. In reality, Nigerians look different to Egyptians look different to Afro-Caribbeans the same way Italians look different to Swedes look different to Russians.

How do people who have never been to Europe and never will think that they have the authority to tell Europeans what they should identify as? Especially since Americans are heavily mixed descendants of European settlers, so by their logic NOBODY in the US is white either.

I've been told by Japanese people that they weren't taught all that much about what Japan did in WW2 except maybe Pearl Harbor and definitely the nuclear bombs. In France depending on which teachers you'll have they'll almost all say that the genocide against Jewish people during WW2 was terrible but in the same breath they'll say that the resistance in France was way bigger than it actually was, they'll downplay the impact of the Vichy government. They'll say that the war that resulted from Algeria wanting independence after ore than a century of colonialism shouldn't have happened because even if France murdered and tortured people en masse, raped women, stole resources all over Africa, at least they gave everyone new roads and hospitals so Algerians and Africans in general should be grateful (said roads, schools and hospitals were put in place for the French and maybe the super mega rich Algerians but they'll never admit it). If the topic comes up some of them will try to justify Haiti being forced to pay France billions of francs and then euros because France lost a bunch of slaves after Haiti's independence.

Gasoline is especially destructive because when it vaporizes it starts exploding, a completely different sort of fire than say, faulty wiring. The people upstairs had no chance of survival. You can have a 20/20 hindsight and ask why they didn't have an emergency staircase outside but the building still passed fire code laws last year.

>>436776>The punks had male privilege and Kathleen and a lot of other Bikkini kill members came from collage backgrounds something these guys would never have in their lives and Riot grrrl has always been a middle-class white women thing80s hardcore, a movement that would chronologically not be too far from when Riot Grrl started, was a ton of unhappy middle class young men, and the early punk movement was not all working class either. The common portrayal of many fans and musicians is actually of middle-class, angry white men who were sick of the world their parents lived in. There are several white male punk musicians who not only went to college, but got graduate degrees, and were not involved in Riot Grrl. Depends on exact time and place but undeniable that there was/is a perception of punk as middle class rebellion.
>>436789Maybe "she" is. Does she actually know anyone who was around then? Because I do and I've seen what happens when shithead men trample people in a moshpit or pick fights in the middle of a crowd. Slam dancing is considered part of the shows, but it makes it really hard to stand in the front and watch if you're female, especially if you're small. So telling the men to fuck off and behave themselves so women could experience rock music and a concert that was meant to be for/about them makes perfect sense.
The way women got treated by numbskull men in the scene was a fucking embarrassment and part of the reason why there are fewer female musicians, they would get sexually harassed hard. You would get sexually harassed for being female at a show if you fell into the wrong group of people, and you would get sexually harassed for being a female punk by non-punks.
>>436799Exactly, who the fuck cares about being respectful in a movement exactly about not giving a shit if you offend the "establishment" and doubling down if you do offend them? I hate to start the "not punk/is punk" argument but, to me, it's about stripped down, loud music, DIY, self-expression and authenticity, and questioning authority, which could take many forms.

The main complaint people have her, 100% of the time, is the pedo pandering she does with EVERYTHING she creates. She became famous because of it. Other anons have mentioned if already but she photoshops her body to be more petite and childlike, she used her braces to have a more childlike feel to her photos, she often wears childlike clothing, she posts photos with "DDLG memes", sold nudes (not her own but claimed to be of hers) when underage and actively encourages her fans who post degenerate pedophilic comments on her pictures.

I've read a lot of sick shit online about men grooming their wives from young ages to be the perfect spouse. The entitlement is shocking to see. It would appear from online discussions that a hell of a lot more men than I'm comfortable with think women were literally created to cater for their every fucked up want.

anything should go within the realm of fiction! those that try to realize what they read in books & see in cartoons have something wrong with them, and have long before they picked up media. it's either that or they're making cartoons and shit their entire world and need to go outside more to see how the REAL WORLD works.
i know everyone loves to use 'jaws' as an example of fiction affecting reality in a major way but understand…people can be very stupid. i remember my science teacher making a little 'fun day' (though at the time i don't recall finding it fun lol) out of teaching us the True Lore Of Sharks when the movie hit peak paranoia.
it's just…impossible to think pedophiles are borne from viewing from loli (actually dug too deep on 8ch & learned that pedos don't even like loli as it's not realistic enough!) or that GoT is reinforcing positive stereotypes about incest or whatever.
also, someone that ships the brothers from dantes inferno (i'm assuming they're brothers anyway since i saw some drama over fan-piece but that's a whole 'nother can of worms) and creates content for that ship while living a normal life, is way superior to someone that participates in brutal porn or whatever.

>>430658Also, excerpts from Pornland by Gail Dines:
>“Some of the worst stories I hear are from men who have become so desensitized that they have started using harder porn and end up masturbating to images that had previously disgusted them. Many of these men are deeply ashamed and frightened as they don’t know where all this will end. Phil told me, “Sometimes I can’t believe the porn I like. I feel like a freak,” and Anthony sees it as a “slippery slope I never thought I would slide down. I never thought of myself as a guy who would like the really hard-core porn, but that’s what’s happened to me.” Some speak of moving toward more violent images while others have become increasingly interested in bondage and even child porn. Because accessing child porn is illegal, many of the students said that they had not actively gone searching for it but had accidentally come across it while surfing porn sites. This had piqued their interest, although most of the men I spoke to are very disturbed by their sexual interest in these pictures.”
>“Students are not the only group becoming bored by and desensitized to porn images of adult women. In interviews I did with seven incarcerated sex offenders, aged from their late thirties to early sixties, all said that the quality and quantity of their porn use changed drastically after the introduction of the Internet. Prior to the Internet, they would regularly use pornography (of adult women) but after the introduction of the Internet, they began to use it compulsively, some of them even losing their jobs because of it. For this group of men, the regular gonzo pornography became boring, and they moved into more violent, fetishistic pornography, often that which looked like overt torture. When this also started to become boring, most of the men moved into child pornography. Some accidentally came across child porn while surfing porn sites, and others sought it out to masturbate to something other than the usual porn. The average length of time between downloading the first child porn and sexually assaulting a child was one year. Most men told me that before becoming addicted to Internet porn, they had not been sexually interested in children."Additionally,
>Clarence A. Johnson once enjoyed the adult pornography sites he viewed on the Web.
>But after a while, the thrill was gone.
>So Johnson started clicking on some of the advertisements that popped up on his computer screen above the naked men and women he was staring at.
>He was seeing something new — young teenagers, and even young children, posing in the nude, having sex with each other or being molested by adults. At first, the 49-year-old Batavia man was appalled. But once the shock wore off, Johnson couldn’t get enough. Like thousands of other men throughout the United States, he was hooked.
>“It was a drive, something like a fix,” he said. “I needed more, and if I didn’t get it, I felt empty.”
>“I’ve seen men from many different walks of life,” said David G. Heffler, a Lockport psychotherapist who is appointed by the courts to counsel child pornography offenders.
>The men, Heffler said, usually fall into two categories. One group is the hard-core pedophiles and molesters, who use child pornography to indulge their fantasies.
>A U.S. Postal Service study in the mid-1990s found 35 percent of men who view child pornography also molested children. A more recent study by the federal Bureau of Prisons found 80 percent acknowledged molesting children, even if never charged with the crime.
>The second group Heffler identified are men — such as Johnson — who start looking at adult pornography but then “slide down a slippery slope” toward child pornography.
>“Many men told me they started out looking at adult porn and never intended to look at children,” Heffler said. “But after looking at adult porn for a long time, they get bored. They want to try something different. They start looking at children. Then, they can’t get enough of it.”Source:

Normal porn to hardcore porn, hardcore porn to hentai, hentai to lolicon, lolicon to CP.
This is how they end up addicted to things they wouldn't even have touched before, all because of pornography. So, yes, pedophiles can be borne from viewing loli/shota. The anons you saw on 8ch who complained it wasn't realistic enough may have been at the point where 2D just didn't give them as much of a rush as the real thing, so they abandoned it. Doesn't absolve the content itself of anything, especially when there are images directly based off of real children, or that contain nods to actual CP. On top of that, there are still actual pedophiles who are fans of it. I've seen them in the wild, I've been groomed by them, and there's enough of them to establish a connection. If you don't believe me or anyone else's studies based on your own readings of what pedophiles say, I'll counter that with a screencap from a thread of other actual pedophiles discussing shotacon communities (the forum is called BoyChat).
The whole "Fiction doesn't mean anything to reality" idea may be nice, but it doesn't really hold water IRL. People are too easily influenced.

>>438404Truthfully anon I kinda feel the same.
Sorry in advance for a blogposting.
Often my siblings hug me just because of how they like to see me squirm (idk we like to do stuff like that) and the only way I can explain it is that I feel physical pain just from a hug, even from the people closest to me.It is very weird feeling as if someone has put my skin on fire. I have been like this ever since I was a kid, my parents are used to this and they aren't the type to stick labels, at most they think that all of this is because I grew up as a tomboy and had a difficult childhood. But truthfully I think that if I went to psychiatrist they might stick me on the spectrum, especially concerning how easy it is to get diagnosed for anything these days. For example, I had a huge scar on hand from biting it when having strong emotions, would spin around in one place for hours and was what people would call a gifted, but socially inept child, thought I almost had no social skills and just a small group of friends, also ed was one of the symptoms as well. I think that in a sense I'm lucky that people around me accept these small weird things as just quirks and not mental illness.

The irony is that market wise is that fucking overproducing hypercompetitive mentality that lowers prices and allows for clients to trample over artists, is a race for the bottom. The smart thing would be to create the market conditions for artists to have more rights concerning their work and be able to make an actual livable earnings with less grinding.

>>438125Agreed, even though regarding kid stuff I think anon
>>438154 is sort of right about it being a gateway porn.

You know, the kind that actually makes a person uncomfortable.
Regarding that, my unpopular opinion is that girls who like shota are nowhere near as harmful as men who like loli. Girls who like shota often like it for the mommying aspect while men usually get a kick out of breaking and harming a helpless female child. It's supported by the statistics, 96-99% of actual child rapists and molesters are men.

>>438591Conditioning is the problem IMO.
Content that sexualizes children or violence isn't the same as alcohol. The feelings it creates in a person, especially a man, aren't something that only happens to special cases of fucked up men (unless you mean to say most men are fucked up from the start). It's largely a subconscious, slow grind. Things become normalized in the person's mind from repeated exposure and positive feelings of arousal, whether they want it to or not. It leaks into real life behavior, such as belief in rape myths,
victim-blaming, and other facets of what we know as rape culture. It doesn't necessarily mean all these people will go on to rape, but that they become more facilitating of it as a result of the exposure, which is more detrimental to everyone and leaves more innocent people at risk IMO.
Here's a study on
victim blaming and the effects of sexual arousal that was posted in
>>438537(
http://arno.uvt.nl/show.cgi?fid=142689)
>In the context of the present study, the sexually aroused observer of the sexually violent scenario may simply deny that anything severe has happened and reject any information that conflicts with this belief. Accordingly, a victim’s claims about sexual violence and the associated suffering are likely to be denied or perceived as exaggerated, which in turn may make negative victim evaluations – such as victim blaming – more likely. In sum, this means that the visceral state of sexual arousal may lead to more favorable perceptions of perpetrators of sexual violence, which in turn may lead to cognitive dissonance within observers.
>A study by Ariely and Löwenstein (2005), for instance, found that sexual arousal may shift moral boundaries by changing people’s judgments of a wide range of sexual activities, including sexually deviant ones. More precisely, the authors were interested in participant’s self-reported level of sexual arousal in response to different sexual activities, including morally questionable ones, such us having intercourse with a 12-year-old girl or an animal. In addition, the authors investigated to which length participants would go to obtain sexual gratification in a hypothetical date scenario (e.g., continue attempting to have sex even if the date resists) and whether participants were willing to engage in unsafe sexual activities (e.g., no birth control). The results indicated, as expected, that sexually aroused participants were more likely to be aroused by a broader range of sexual stimuli, including deviant ones, indicated greater readiness to engage in morally questionable behaviors in order to have sex, and were more willing to perform unsafe sexual activities. >Furthermore, participants were unable to predict their responses to sexual stimuli in a non-aroused state.There's also actually no real "I became a different person with inhibited functions and didn't understand the consequences" argument to be had like there would be with alcohol. They know the risks from a logical standpoint, they just hold the visceral feeling of arousal to be more important in that moment:
>Further evidence for this notion comes from a study by Löwenstein, Nagin, and Paternoster (1997), who found that sexual arousal increases the likelihood of people’s willingness to engage in sexually coercive behaviors in order to obtain sexual relief. Moreover, this relationship was not mediated by perceived benefits or costs of such aggression. However, participant’s awareness of costs increased along with their sexual arousal. Thus, although sexually aroused people are more likely to use sexual coercion to obtain sexual relief, they are more aware of the possible consequences of their actions. These are just about pornography itself and its relation to violent behaviors, sexism and callousness toward sexual violence itself:
>We found that several motivations to view pornography were associated with suppression of willingness to intervene as a bystander, even after controlling for frequency of pornography use. This study joins others in suggesting an association between pornography use and callousness toward sexual violence.Source:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26209307
>In studies of male aggressiveness and pornography, social psychologists have found evidence to support the theory that consumption of pornography by males increases their aggressiveness and antisocial attitudes toward women. The research reported here studied the presence of pornography and both sexual and nonsexual violence in the lives of two groups of women: a group of battered women drawn from shelters and counseling groups, and a comparison group of women from a mature university population. It was found that the partners of the battered women read or viewed significantly greater amounts of pornographic materials than did the partners of the comparison group. In addition, 39% of the battered women (in contrast to 3% of the comparison group) responded in the affirmative to the question, "Has your partner ever upset you by trying to get you to do what he'd seen in pornographic pictures, movies, or books?" It was also found that battered women experienced significantly more sexual aggression at the hands of their partners than did the women in the comparison group.Source:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3154165
>A meta-analysis was conducted to determine whether nonexperimental studies revealed an association between men's pornography consumption and their attitudes supporting violence against women. The meta-analysis corrected problems with a previously published meta-analysis and added more recent findings. In contrast to the earlier meta-analysis, the current results showed an overall significant positive association between pornography use and attitudes supporting violence against women in nonexperimental studies. In addition, such attitudes were found to correlate significantly higher with the use of sexually violent pornography than with the use of nonviolent pornography, although the latter relationship was also found to be significant. Source:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19862768
>Using a probability-based sample of young Danish adults and a randomized experimental design, this study investigated effects of past pornography consumption, experimental exposure to nonviolent pornography, perceived realism of pornography, and personality (i.e., agreeableness) on sexist attitudes (i.e., attitudes toward women, hostile and benevolent sexism). Further, sexual arousal mediation was assessed. Results showed that, among men, an increased past pornography consumption was significantly associated with less egalitarian attitudes toward women and more hostile sexism. Further, lower agreeableness was found to significantly predict higher sexist attitudes. Significant effects of experimental exposure to pornography were found for hostile sexism among low in agreeableness participants and for benevolent sexism among women.Source:

>>438887I think video games played in moderation are pretty harmless but I agree with you about anime. Every internet hoe seems to have started out with Sailor Moon and turned it into some weird third wave sex positive thing.
The cosplay scene these days is also horrible. It's not just the patreon girls and their orbiters, but just the average person in the scene. Full of kinksters, fetlife weirdos, poly weirdos, low key "sex workers", 17 year old girls with more sexual partners than my entire friendship group put together.
I have no idea how it ever came to this.
So yeah. I'd stop my daughter from getting involved with cosplay, but I don't think video games are really that bad, especially if it's something like Civ.

His wife found out and I just freaked out and blocked him. Never talled to him again, was afraid my parents would find out. I realized how fucked up it was a few years later.

I genuinely don't understand why everyone thinks anime art is so beautiful and amazing. I just don't see it.
The faces are very abstract and lack so much detail that it takes hardly any talent to actually draw an anime character. It takes much more talent and skill to draw a realistic person.
I don't like how shiny it always is, it hurts my eyes. I also don't understand why people think anime characters look "perfect"/more attractive than real people or realistic art. I understand with other types of digital art, but in anime the faces are only vaguely human looking, the eye shape is VERY weird and doesn't even resemble real human eyes. The proportions are super fucked up as well. Imo being attracted to anime character is the same as being attracted to a pony from MLP or a furry.
I honestly think people who say that they're "perfect" just hate real human beings.

I prefer the uniqueness and diversity of real human faces, but its quite bizarre how on the internet this is an unpopular or even controversial opinion. I also think human beauty doesnt only come in extreme neoteny and the same facial features. Im surprised with so much beautiful people with varying facial types and body types in the entertainment particularly music industry that people know and like that a lot of people seem to ignore that.

Literally who on Lolcow supports female pedophiles? Because I haven't seen it. Not in GC threads, not in Pink Pill threads, not in vent threads, nowhere. Half of this site's userbase literally hates anime as a whole and decries it as being too pedophilic, so how could any female pedo see this as a safe space? One of our most reviled cows, Soren, is literally a female pedophile (and surprise surprise, she's an FtM with heavy internalized misogyny, not some pink pilled misandrist!).
Also, I remember that thread with the posts about the book. Everyone was roasting the shit out of the anon who brought it up, the book itself (it was literally theorized that it was written by a scrote because it had such a poor understanding of women's anatomy) and its author.
If anything, the only cases of pedo apologism I've seen here come from delusional handmaidens coming out of the woodwork to defend the honor of their pedophilic boyfriends, libfems who are still under the delusion of "Our modern iteration of sex positivity is progressive! All kinks are
valid!!! Porn has no bearing on real life!!!", and scrotes looking to troll. All of them claim it's okay when scrotes jerk off to lolicon because it's "just fiction". They get disagreed with and shut down every time, as they should be.

some creativity but I'm tired of general STEM students thinking they're so smarter than me when they can't do anything outside of their field and my studies have made me extremly polyvalent.

To be making shit up this hard so you have an excuse to dunk on women and RP that Lolcow has a "female pedo" problem is fucking pathetic, and the fact that you'd even open such a thread and read into it that much makes it sound like you're an actual pedo searching for some "Misery loves company" shit and projecting hard.

Different from code monkeys, though. I'm an engineer and do music and some writing (used to do a lot but not so much now) as well but I don't think I'm a total outlier.
Some of the things I've read from other engineers has taken some truly out of the box thinking and impressed me with their creativity, especially with electrical engineering, it's just not seen as comparable to artistic creativity outside of other autistic fucks like me.
I'm totally not down with STEMlords talking down to artists, especially since we all need each other, but I guess my unpopular opinion is that truly interesting, intelligent, and creative thinking in STEM can be an art in and of itself.

my friends are all absolute disneyfags and it irks me so much that they suck disney's dick everytime they release anything, i consider their stuff mediocre at best. for example they loved Coco but wouldn't watch El Libro de la Vida, which I pointed out is exactly like Coco except it came out earlier and was made by a lesser known studio. I hate it when Disney movies win Oscars every year while objectively better movies with better animation get snubbed or lose; hell, last year "Loving Vincent",- a movie that took like a bajillion years to make bc every single frame is a painting handmade to imitate Van Gogh's style-, lost to fucking Coco. i'm still seething.

>>441597I think we'll have to agree to disagree on what's harder. I find my creativity comes more easily, if in bursts, and that I have to work at understanding the higher concepts in math and CS, more so when I apply them than when I'm just trying to wrap my head around them. They get rather complicated, the basic logic is simple, e.g. to me logic gates and algebra are simple enough, but applying a shitton of logic gates to make something complex and useful is difficult, and working with complex equations, esp once you apply "higher" maths or different frameworks, is much longer and harder because of the pieces you have to keep track of. As is the memorization, etc.
Maybe it's just predisposition, my parents nurtured my creative side more than my mathematical side so while I'm not an idiot when it comes to maths, creative pursuits come more easily to me because I exercised them more at a younger age and found them more enjoyable to practise than doing a ton of maths homework. Music/writing is my therapy more than maths, although now as an adult one of my "relaxing" hobbies is more maths-adjacent.
I think a lot of visual artists believe they're worse at math than they actually are, and that math _is_ hard, but it's because it takes practise and not everyone wraps their head around things at the same pace.

Possibly controversial additional opinion: I love shit that looks dated, mostly in restaurants or hotels, and quietly judge people who complain about it. If it's clean, I don't care if it's "dated". It makes me sad that people are wasteful and destroy things over it or judge based off if something looks old rather than the aesthetic merits of it.

I really hate at least 90% of youtubers and "influencers" that make a living off of making vapid, pointless content, like 10 minute long videos of "melting all the bath & body works candles into one candle" or "melting all my lipsticks into one lipstick" or "wiping the dust off of my vents for the first time in 5 years". It's not just that they make money off of this shit, but they make more than a comfortable living. Then they make videos whining and crying about their mental health and how hard it is to be a youtuber and their audience just doesn't understand what it's like uwu. Then they will constantly threaten to delete their social media presence and go back to living a normal life because of how "hard" being an influencer is yet they never actually do (gee I wonder why).
Instagram influencers are just as bad/worse, with a lot of them being famous and having hundreds of thousands of followers merely for being heavily tattooed/modded. they just make a living off of being a freak basically and use their money to get even more tattoos and body mods while contributing nothing to society.

>>442917But if companies are profiting off cheap prison labor, that means there’s less incentive to prevent crime or lower crime rates. Lower crime rates = less people in jail = less prisoners available to provide cheap labor.
And no, it’s not all murderers, drug dealers and rapists in prisons. You know women’s prisons exist where female prisoners are exploited because prison commissary charges $10 for a box of tampons, and prisoners only made a few cents an hour?

Also pressuring creators to make a gay characters is awful and I hate that people insist on doing it. Forcing them to do shit like that results in a shitty

They're ugly!">"this straight character should be gay because he's my favorite and his haircut suggests he could be a gay twink, giving him this haircut is queerbaiting!"Do they even know what they want?

This also sort of applies to Persona in general and Catherine, especially its remake, but Atlus doesn't give a fuck about the West since Japan is by far a more interesting market. I also have friends telling me things about other games that have romance options where it's more of an option with no consequence and I see similar complaints but they're less often mentioned overall, like Harvest Moon/Story of Season.
>anyway, the sexualization of the underage looking characters (they're technically all 1000s year old dragons, conveniently) in this waifu era is so gross.I don't like it either, but I don't think that cliche is that recent?

No. 443581
>>443547This post reeks of either heterosexuality or gay in denial at best so I don't know if there's any point in trying to explain it.
>you can date characters of the opposite sex in a game for fanservice>"why aren't they gay or bi options, that's homophobic!"During the history of games, in a lot of rpgs there was a planned gay option but they opted to remove it because the producers knew that people (straight men) would be screeching over someone having the possibility to have a gay date. Imagine this happening all the time. In Persona 5 you can date your goddamn teacher who's who knows how many years older than your high school age ass
(and she dresses up as a maid to serve you and give you backrubs) but somehow a gay option was too degenerate in Persona 4 to the point it was removed.
>you can also date characters in the next game, with a few gay or bi options>"why are the LGBT characters not perfect cinnamon rolls and vaguely look like offensive stereotypes if you don't actually play the game but look at the characters' pages on wikipedia for less than 5 minutes?"I don't get what you mean by this, are you talking about the LGB representation being condensed to the japanese Okama stereotype or something? It IS harmful to show gay characters only as tired, offensive stereotypes such as a gay man being effeminate to a drag queen degree and perving all over every male character he comes across. I don't know why you would argue otherwise.
>next game gives you even more gay options and more variety even though romance in general is still completely optional fanservice at the end of the day>"why are the gay or bi characters not stereotypes straight out of a yuri or BL manga? They're ugly!"I guess this is about Fire Emblem? Because do you actually think it's NOT biased when all the heterosexual options are conventionally attractive, charming and close to your age but the two gay options are old and ugly guys with no romantic endings? Imagine it backwards, your gay options were 5 young and beautiful characters with a romantic ending and your straight options would be two unattractive old farts with minimal feelings towards you. Would you see an obvious favoring with this?
>"this straight character should be gay because he's my favorite and his haircut suggests he could be a gay twink, giving him this haircut is queerbaiting!"And this is just the scrapings of the bottom of the barrel twitter activist having a pipe dream. Nobody says this and means it unless you hang around 15 year olds. Queerbaiting is a real thing though, producers add an obviously gay coded character but refuse to actually display their sexuality on screen save for a few subtle wink wink nod nod moments. It might evoke "what are these faggots going on about you got a gay character didn't you" feelings but when you actually never see the character talking about their gay relationship in a casual manner like the straight characters do and the "gay reveal" or something is used only as a cheap plot device or a way to draw in viewers (like Voltron did) it's just annoying. There still isn't a lot of proper gay representation around and it's still such a big taboo that people don't like it when media is acting like it's pushing the envelope when they're only giving people table scraps.
No. 443609
>>443581>This post reeks of either heterosexuality or gay in denial at bestHow would you know any of this about me? And do you actually expect 100% accurate and respectful LGBT representation in JRPGs were the main point is to save the world by beating monsters and god? When these games have simplified or straight up cliche stories and characters? The point of my post was that people complain a lot about products not targeting them in the first place, then when they get exactly what they ask for in these games they complain and nitpick everything.
>but somehow a gay option was too degenerate in Persona 4 to the point it was removed.I'm still salty about not being able to date Yosuke too even though he acted more like a love interest than anyone else, especially in P4G, but at the end of the day P4 isn't a dating sim, it's a JRPG. And I haven't played P5 yet so I won't talk too much about it, all I know is that people wanted Yusuke to be a love interest for no other reason than "he's cute/he looks like Jun who was gay in P2" and nothing else, and who the traitor is.
>are you talking about the LGB representation being condensed to the japanese Okama stereotype or something?Not at all, I kept it vague because I've seen this in many different cases, like people complaining about stereotypes that are more portrayed in the West. My criticism can be applied to female characters in general as well. Fandoms are retarded and will complain about characters not being good enough representation because they'll do morally questionable things that make perfect sense within the plot.
Anyway you sound like you misunderstood half of what I said and you like putting words in my mouth. Amazing.

When you think about it, it makes sense that the only huge box office successes would be lowest common denominator visual spectacles and franchise films. It's not the 60s anymore. With everyone having access to a television or computer, we are oversaturated with programming options. And since television now has access to movie level effects and budget, the small screen has the same tools as the big screen. And movies are expensive, your average person isn't going to pay twelve dollars a ticket to see a quiet drama film, they'd rather see a movie that is enhanced by the theater experience.
