I always assumed it was some weird fetish poo poo because the camera person always sounds like a sub getting teased. “Unnnnn, is that...fanta? And you’re going to...unnn...pour it in the carbonara? Oh my goddd. And is that...kimchi? No, don’t tell me you’re gonna...oh my god...right in the pastrami...fuuuucckkkk”

Panfilo posted:Are the pedos that try to legitimize their behavior by conflating it with LGBT issues also a purely right wing plant? Because I could see that going either way; bigots that try to delegitimize LGBT groups or people that genuinely think there's nothing unnatural with perving on toddlers and try to appropriate other inclusive groups in the process. It started as a 4chan thing without a doubt (the whole "cloversexual" thing is a clear 4chan reference), but it very well may have pulled in people who weren't in on it. Still, it never really picked up any steam anywhere so I think we can safely say it was just a plant Also yeah the nofap thing was entirely a weird rightwing obsession with masculinity

Beartaco posted:I wonder if it's connected at all with the baffling anti-"spoiler" culture the internet has developed over the past few years where every single minute detail about a show/movie/game will just absolutely ruin a viewing experience and must be placed in tags. I played through my flatmates copy of Persona 5 recently, and he had the big fancy steel box version but he insisted, no matter what that I shouldn't look at the back of the box because there are big spoilers on it. I played through the game and it has a couple of betrayals by some major characters so I was like oh, it must have those characters looking real evil and sinister on the back or something. Credits roll, I look at the back, it's just a picture of your party members looking cool. Like, what about this was supposed to be a spoiler? That these characters exist, and join your crew at some point? Ninja Gaiden is about ninjas

It's pretty easy to find the line for what to spoil and what not to spoil, usually. Just think about moments and reveals that you thought were really cool and just don't mention them Also spoilers might make people actually enjoy stories more I know I've definitely checked out certain games and shows because I knew the gist of the plot and also some particularly cool stuff that happens and I wanted to see how the story got there. There are definitely some narratives that I'm grateful I went into totally blind, because the twist was so well done and the implication of it had value in and of itself, but that's really the exception

That's taking it a bit too far. What the gently caress This is like telling someone to rip out page 5 of a murder mystery novel because it tells you in a side scene that the killer injured his hand, so when you meet the aristocrat on page 120 with a bandaged hand you'll know he's the killer! It was a red herring, the aristocrat cut his hand gardening

Patrick Spens posted:People say that because they like the idea that there's one specific dude to blame for hosed up poo poo rather than recognizing that a whole bunch of people get off to incest. There's probably more people into it than we would like but it's also really obvious that they're absolutely pushing the content. When there's a near-monopoly on online porn distribution, it's really easy for them to just pick what they want and push it hard. It can even be favored by the algorithm

Like, yes, the vaccine prevents infections and mitigates the effect of the disease for those who get it anyway, but he’s comparing the number of breakthrough infections vs the total vaccinated population

Each Dune book is a little worse than the previous one but that's mostly because the plot becomes way too insanely convoluted to keep track of. I read all of them but I can barely remember anything of what happened after God Emperor. The first two are totally fine as a standalone story but God Emperor does have some pretty drat cool poo poo in it Also yeah Leto II is the most authoritarian character in perhaps all of fiction ever but the politics of Dune don't really apply to our own world. Leto II creates his regime specifically because he knows it'll be destroyed and that it's a necessary step in a series of events to prevent the extinction of humanity, something he knows because he has perfect understanding of all possible futures Kit Walker has a new favorite as of 19:22 on Oct 28, 2021 |

The long and short of it is that Paul's visions make him realize there's a single route into the future in which humanity doesn't destroy itself, which he calls the Golden Path. He's also aware that achieving it will require him and his descendants to do a lot of hosed up poo poo, but this is the case only because he actually knows what's going to happen

Like, I'll dig a little further down and find out the person with the anime femboy nazi pfp is a trans girl and she'll post some clearly leftist sentiments, but everything else is just an endless wall of ironyposting so many layers deep it's completely inscrutable. And it's never just one person, it's a handful of people posting like this all day along with their own injokes, occasionally touching on the idea of being utterly blackpilled. I've had pretty much this exact dynamic repeat itself in a handful of niche discords and I just don't have the willingness to try to unpack any of it

If even I'm having trouble focusing long enough to understand what they're getting at, there's no chance the average person who barely reads past newspaper headlines is going to stick it out.

Vib Rib posted:I do agree that the long, overly precise language of stuff like this is really offputting. But plenty of short, punchy, accessible slogans that drop nuance for impact get devoured by the conservative propaganda machine all the same anyway. A lot of the people that need to be convinced the most are those actively resisting it, so entrenched in their dogma that no combination of words will be the ones to bypass their defenses and convince them. The right wing media circuit will always attack. If the message is too precise and long, the media will attack it for being elitist and out of touch. If the message is short and punchy, the media will attack it by deliberately misinterpreting it. There's no point in trying to counter their strategy. It's better to just use simpler messages that are accessible and can be discussed easily than overly complicated ones that laypeople won't even bother trying to understand. It's all a numbers game. Most of them can't be convinced but I'd rather use a strategy with a 5% chance than a 0% chance

Your sister isn't a secret right wing loon because she calls her DnD group her "frens," and some rando on Twitter saying "hello frens, I finally got my dental surgery today, feelin fresh" probably isn't either. The actual psychos are not subtle and the language comes part-and-parcel with a lot of other weird behaviors that make it obvious what they're doing. It’s this. Be wary if you see someone using fash dogwhistles but don’t assume everyone who uses them is fash. One of the queerest lefties I know uses “frens” on a daily basis so yeah

I’ve lived in cities my whole life and it’s basically always light out because of street lights so I can’t really relate or understand. I’ve also worked as a bike courier in a lot of places and my biggest pet peeve on the road is still vehicles (both bikes and cars) with blindingly bright headlights. Like, hey, if I can’t see literally anything around you, there’s a much better chance that I’ll either crash into something or crash into you when I try avoiding something else that I can only notice at the last possible second. Or, most likely, I’ll just awkwardly stop in the middle of the road until I can see loving anything at all and you’ll have to deal with me blocking your way until then
