Kind of. My understanding is that the term comes from angry queer people to refer derisively to the Reproductive Citizens Atomic Family model that they were so often told was the only right way to be. Then it got leaked Like the term "incel" to angry reddit types, who call themselves childfree. Whole thing revolves around yelling about crotch spawn ruining their adult my little pony movie viewings. Nowadays I'd assume the latter to be more likely use.

They also tend to get along well with the ecologically fascist sorts, who also get steaming mad about people having kids.

they predate reddit because i remember being 13 on livejournal and watching the trainwreck of the child free community there.

i think it was on there that i watched a fully grown woman have a meltdown that she didn’t win the costume contest at a harry potter launch party and a kid was picked over her, who “””deserved””” it.

Seems like Peterson fans themselves are too big on empathy for traumatized people, so I guess that settles that argument.

Why the hell does twitter not put up the same screen cap when you quote something. This rear end in a top hat also follows Jordan Peterson. There, saved you a click through.

jordan peterson, both trump accounts, AND vic mignogna.

they’re also a professional animator (and hence why they feel the need to toot the I AM RIGHT horn) and i’m hoping that showing their rear end like this is enough to get them closed off

No wait hold on, what was that about Doug Walker? Granted, it's been I think a decade since I watched anything by him, but he seemed cool.

a few years ago, people went public with how they were treated on his channel. about twenty people who used to work under his channel came with a 60+ documentation about the poo poo they dealt with, including with several producers grooming the people under them/being actual rapists. this polygon article kind of sums it up in the first half (and then goes on about youtube itself) but it also links to the document which is still up.

She's Voldemort and Umbridge, then, by extension.

honestly she’s more like umbridge, a nasty middle aged woman who when faced with someone younger than her that was telling her the truths that she didn’t like, literally tortured under the guise of continuous punishment which left a permanent mark on harry. then she sucked up to the evil government that took over and bought some fake wizard heirloom poo poo so she could pretend to be from a well respected pure wizard line.

i really loved harry potter as a kid, but there’s a definite dip in quality toward the latter half. you can see it because the first four books i have are practically falling apart because i was reading them over and over again and the last three look brand new.

i think my favorite part of harry potter was the whole magical school thing, because the chapter i would read most obsessively as a kid was the diagon alley one in the beginning where he would buy school supplies. the introduction of other wizarding schools got me excited because it meant there was a whole world of wizards in different cultures and as a kid i wanted to know what it was like. as an adult i got my wish and a finger on the monkey’s paw curled (it was horribly stereotypical drivel that was borderline racism).

being worth $180 billion dollars and actually having it on hand is two different things since part of bezos worth is in stuff that isn't in hard cold cash but an estimate of the worth of the things he owns, like amazon.

on the other hand he probably still does have enough money to actually help out a whole bunch of people or he has enough that he can change how his business is run to provide better benefits and healthcare for his employees and be fine. considering how bitter he is about having to pay his ex-wife alimony though, i doubt he'll even bother.

(I've been probated for saying as much before, but here goes...) One of the most annoying things in gaming is companies censoring themselves to appeal to Chinese markets. Like in WOW they had to censor out all depictions of bones for Wrath of the Lich King for the Chinese markets. I'm sure for a lot of these companies they don't care how ridiculous it looks so long as they can still sell games in the glorious people's republic.

china doesn't care about skeletons, it's just a lot of non-chinese publishers self-censor because the chinese government can deny any game being released under the vague term of being 'culturally subversive' which explains nothing. a lot of companies willingly go overboard with self-censoring because they don't want to play the back and forth game where they change one thing and then get rejected, changing another and trying again, and so forth.

It seems way more creepy than Miku or VTubers to me. With the others there's very little pretending they're not just characters. With these though, it feels like they're fully trying to pass off as ~*relatable*~ real people. It feels like trying to fool people into being advertised to in a way that Miku and VTubers don't. Yeah Miku is advertising a voice program, but she feels so disconnected from that now that it doesn't really matter, and there isn't an official miku Twitter pretending to be a real person posting about their fake insecurities and such. VTubers on the other hand feel much more like just regular game streamers that use anime girl avatars, they're not really directly advertising a product. They do have management companies and stuff but like, bands have record labels which aren't so different.

These fake Twitter accounts definitely feel like they're explicitly trying to trick people into thinking they're "real" in order to advertise products. It's taking the Wendy's-style relatable social media to the next level.

i think that’s what really grates my nerves about them, seraphine especially. the latter is a twitter of not even the actual “character”, it’s a persona for one of her skins. k/da as a virtual pop group was a nifty idea and the song they produced last year was catchy, but this just feels so manufactured - from the “i just woke up #bedhead” selfie to the bathroom mirror shot that looks like they painted over an actual girl’s selfie... there’s just something so artificial in that.

on the other hand i don’t think miku has ever really been presented as anything but a mascot. her personality can be anything people want her to be, as she’s just a visualization for the program’s voice. she does have a cheerful generic bubbly personality when she “speaks” at official events but it’s all “thank you guys so much for being here! being in [insert country name] is great!” and stuff like that. very robotic, which fits because that’s what she is.

watching a league of legends character tweet about how she’s omg so anxious and she needs to cheer up from her uncertainty is just eye rolling.

The Crazy Horse sculptor had worked as an assistant on Mt Rushmore, he hadn’t designed it. Crazy Horse was commissioned by some Lakota chiefs, but IIRC it’s pretty controversial.

the first i heard about the crazy horse monument was when they finished his face in the 90s as a school kid and they included it in some weekly news booklet we got, and the information i remembered about why it was taking so long was because the sculptor's family wanted to keep it private even though the government offered to fund it because they didn't want to compromise the ideal and how big it was?

i got the chance to see it about ten years ago, after mount rushmore. and i can see why they want to keep it away from government meddling because if it ever gets finished, it'll be way bigger than rushmore.

It might just be a cultural divide but to me, soup should have a lot more stuff in it, you can blend it optionally but it should be more than just something + the water you cooked it in. Unless the thing you cooked is a whole pot full of veggies and poo poo.

yes, the soup is cooked with veggies and herbs.

you don't shred the chicken in those soups, since you're boiling them with the soup and herbs, at least not with the that specific soup recipe. it can be served with the herbs/veggies or strained and served with just the broth and meat since some people prefer drinking the broth without bits.

also people being upset at the chicken not being shredded is weirdly dumb until i realized that they think these soups are being used only with spoons.

spoons are used for soups, but chopsticks are literally right there on the table so we just use those to pick up and eat the pieces too big for a spoon. and some people like to keep something to dip the big pieces in on the side.
