seriously just delete that poo poo and save future generations of internet readers from that

like I'm not trying to be a backseat moderator, there's very few opportunities in life where you can make the world a better place 100% with a single, easy choice and this is one of them

Yeah but imagine having to touch Chris Roberts shrimpy youngman and jerk him off under the covers, let alone have sex with this stammering bag of hot air.

Meh. I actually like the responsiveness of SC's combat. I guess other people don't but that doesn't surprise me because it is entirely a subjective thing anyway. I just find that flying around in the incredible unrealistic asteroid clusters while dogfighting pirates in small spacecraft to be fun.

Oh yeah, we wouldn't want to distract from all the breaking CIG happenings at 3am EST. Tomorrow, the S42 video will not appear again. I wouldn't want to spoil the excitement.

Despite fear of further derailment (IDGAF) would you mind expanding on this?

This whole argument that "context" and "intent" are important is hugely problematic.
It's always been okay so it's okay now? That's literally what is being said.
Give them a pass, it's just a local expression? Eat my poo poo.
Keep blurring the lines, having exceptions, and well...

I'm getting a lot of "Zwarte Piet is a harmless cultural icon and prejudice against Romani isn't bad, actually" energy from your posting.

Vixen Areola? Really? Couldn't they have just skipped a step and named her Slutty Nipples?

The images themselves (at least those that are clearly visible) are most likely stock photographs from a license-free library available to the film's art department. It's quite possible that we will eventually be able to locate, for instance, the original photograph of the lady boxer. In fact, we've already found one! The rectangular butt photo visible in Maniac's is an art piece by the film's set photographer as found on his defunct MySpace gallery. In addition to maintaining continuity on the movie, Mr. Braun is a Luxembourg-based fetish photographer whose work has appeared regularly in galleries.

The most common American stereotype of Germans that I encounter is that you’re a country of colorless and efficient bureaucrats, pragmatic and hardworking but lacking in passion and imagination.

It's not about practicality, it's about toxic masculinity

I know a guy who is the prime demographic for this, my brother in law. He is a paramedic who is nearing the end of his non-desk career just due to age. He's six-two, built like a megachad, works this heroic job, respected by friends and family and so on, and he's the most miserable motherfucker I know. Police/paramilitary culture has so completely poisoned his mind that he spends every waking moment comparing himself to some idealized macho superman- always ready to fight, never shows emotions, rugged and respected but never attached or affectionate. My sister is his second marriage, and it's going poorly. He's got about six different untreated mental illnesses due to the poo poo he's had to see/deal with, and his refusal to seek the slightest bit of help or even acknowledge his problems has only made it worse. Being a paramedic doesn't pay poo poo and his first wife took most of what he had, so he's incredibly insecure about money. Utterly traumatized by capitalism, he easily falls prey to credit and get-rich-quick schemes. He gambled the kid's college fund away at a casino last year after winning a minor lottery prize and blowing it on a new motorcycle. His kids are all growing up with major issues- the oldest is already no-contact with the family and developing a drug habit at 17, the next youngest is probably a few years out. He's uncomfortable to have at any family gathering because you never know when he's just going to bust out, out of nowhere, "The white working man is the most oppressed person in America." But that's okay because he basically never stops working, he'll show up in his chief paramedic's cruiser with full uniform on and radio going and side-hug his kids at the parent's house for ten minutes at holidays, then off he goes back to it. If you ask him about his family, he knows it's in trouble, but he can never quite connect it to his own selfishness- he knows he needs to provide some emotional connection but he doesn't know how, so he tries to express care by being utterly controlling- "No son of mine is ever going to have long hair," nobody's gonna date my daughters, etc etc. The thought of retirement terrifies him. The thought of women terrifies him. Since I transitioned we have not spent more than 2 minutes total in proximity to each other.

His insecurity is exactly what this sort of poo poo is targeting. Baby carriers that won't make you soft. Body washes without all that girly poo poo. To us it looks completely insane, and it is, but it's a kind of insanity that has been absolutely cultivated in a huge proportion of the men in our country. The January 6th riots were a direct result of it. I expect it'll get worse, before it gets better.
