relax-o-vision posted:This has to be fake. Well, I've known gay cats, and I've known people who think all sex is evil even when animals do it so pets who do The Wicked Thing should be disposed of, so its pretty plausible to me. OK the last one deserves explanation, back in the early 90's I bought High Weirdness by Mail and wrote off for a bunch of crazy pamphlets, and the Shrine to Virginity was one of the responders.  I suppose this is old school IoSM: classified ads, usenet newsgroups, 'zines, listservs, "I find your ideas compelling and would like to request more information" form letters, Donna Kossey's Kooks Museum, etc. Back when you had to go looking for dumb poo poo edit: when I wrote it was being run by an old lady who sent me a very information-dense broadside that recommended burning your pets genitalia off. Looks like she died in the mid-1990s and her kids kept it going for a few more years. Syd Midnight has a new favorite as of 20:00 on Apr 20, 2020 |

One More Fat Nerd posted:I'm normally supportive of sex work but findom and findom adjacent stuff just really strikes me as unethical. Like, we say its good to take money from incels, and i would agree, but I think the genuine incels are too hateful towards women to pay them. The dudes actually spending money on findom are probably just sad dudes with massive self esteem issues. They should be spending that money on therapy, rather than seeking out mean girls to bully them for their lunch money. I've heard that findommes tend to display the hallmarks of sociopathy and are not really accepted as part of the organized bdsm community. I have no idea if there's truth to that, but I've never seen a bit of evidence to the contrary, especially for the first part.

PurpleXVI posted:On the other hand, maybe a voluntary limiting of a child's sensorium should be something they decide for themselves once they're adults. If an adult chooses it for themselves, that's one thing, but parents forcing it on their kid is something that doesn't sit well with me. To me it's like parents denying a poorly-sighted child glasses. It's a more complex and critical issue than even that, since the parts of the brain that handle speech an language are still malleable and developing during the first few years of life, and if someone is not exposed to speech and verbal communication during those first few years they will not be able to fully develop them later. These sorts of things. I'm not qualified to explain it, but if you're googling it look for papers on severe childhood abuse and isolation where children were not spoken to or exposed to speech during their first few years. Preventing someone from developing verbal skills during their early childhood won't just affect them during childhood, like not having glasses would, it will affect their ability to communicate verbally for the rest of their lives. This applies to sign language as well. Since early childhood is the ideal time to learn multiple languages (for the above reasons), this is their chance to be really fluent in sign and spoken language. You can choose to get a cochlear implant as an adult, but you can't undo your childhood development. It would be nice if it was a simple issue, but it isn't. It's a huge loving can of worms.

You can't always count on heroic time travelers going back in time to kill Hitler and prevent the Beer Hall Putsch, there's a lot more wannabe Hitlers than there are heroic time travelers.

there wolf posted:And they are a bunch of lying liars who lie, but then again there is a giant pile of dumb as gently caress experiments perpetrated by government agencies that lead to absolute bupkis. I choose to go with the third option- they totally found something but whatever it was was so embarrassing that they'd rather say they failed and deal with everyone thinking they're totally useless/have mind control drugs. They found that if you put someone in a medically induced coma and put them in a dark room while playing white noise for a week or two, they will revert to a shattered catatonic, infantile state. Then you have to teach them how to read and talk and use a toilet all over again. That's what brainwash originally meant. Just totally Jorped. You can't use deep sleep therapy to program a double agent or sleeper assassin, but with a lot of support the patient might eventually be able function somewhat. afaik it is not a useful technology. Trying to control peoples minds with psychedelic drugs just drives them crazy, and the CIA broke a lot eggs verifying that it doesn't give them any special powers besides the power to be a crazy homeless person, so you may as well just use booze & blackmail.

fluffyDeathbringer posted:people made out of pure metaphysical mind stuff with, like, four arms and three lives and light-based metabolism or whatever*: realistic There's this weird dichotomy in Tolkien where elves are spiritual beings of light in temporary humanoid form, but there's also half-elves and elf/human couples and other proof that elfs gently caress, because Tolkien was thinking more in the spirit of lineages and ancestries rather than actual theory behind elf dicks and vaginas, the logistics of which require some very specific biological mechanics that have an undeniable impact on societal and interpersonal relationships.1 While he could not have foreseen the internet, he was well aware of networked communities of speculative and horny fantasy nerds. He should have said "Alas, elves can't gently caress, because magic. Alas." and left it at that. Splicer posted:Warhammer orkz are definitely peak ork. e: started pulling in non social media WotC diversity idiocy See, orkz don't gently caress. They grow from spores like fungus or something, an assexual and extremely unhorny method of reproduction so an attempt to sexualize them is automatically non-canon and un-orky. At least I think so. I never read or played WH40K but on the internet you pick up a hell of a lot of WH40K lore by osmosis. And I believe they do something similar with many human factions by chemically castrating them2 and cloning them in creches, so their focus (and by extension the focus of their players and authors) should be fixated upon martial duty and not marital duty.

Stunt_enby posted:far right that you actually need to worry about disavows and makes fun of shapiro, mostly because he's jewish and they're anti-semitic but also for making an rear end out of himself constantly I have never seen someone so ashamed to wear a yarmulke as Ben Shapiro. I mean, I've never seen anyone ashamed to wear their yarmulke besides him, but he uses loving stealth technology to hide a tiny one on the back of his head. Just imagine the amount of mens hair dye he's going to slather on when he starts turning grey, his hair is going to look like a wet black cat. If it wasn't virtually invisible his career as an alt.right spokesman would probably be over in a matter of hours, and boy oh boy, don't he know it.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Here is the thing. White people invented the one-drop rule. White people invented the blood quantum used to determine tribal membership. It's an external definition. I dunno about elsewhere but in the midwest "Cherokee princess" used to be an excuse for having a black ancestor, because you certainly couldn't admit to that, so it seems like most families that have been in the US 150+ years have a Cherokee princess lurking somewhere in their family tree but no black ancestors or slaves, no sir So my mind automatically parses the "8% cherokee" trope as "several generations would rather have died than admit that great great grandma had a black boyfriend, and the euphemism became accepted family canon". I have no idea how common it really is but enough that its tough to avoid confirmation bias.

Elviscat posted:The outrage over WAP takes on a new light when you consider Nikki Minaj has been doing filthier lyrics longer, and pretty recently, Arianna Grande had a song about getting hosed so hard that you walk weird, featuring lyrics like "wrist icicle, ride dick bicycle" during the Nikki cameo. This should be really familiar to GenX when everyone would lash onto a song as satanic, like "aww do those words scare you old timer" the worst moral outrage values horror 2020 could bring is a world in which ladies are allowed to sing about the hot juice drippin down their crack without having to use specific euphemisms that can also be applied to freshly cooked foods (cherry pies, roasts, baked buns etc) for plausible deniability. Now historians can make money writing about this along with other "oh my delicate ears, the royal bard just said dick instead of cock so they couldn't possibly have been singing about roosters this time, guards arrest that man" moments

I know this if two days ago but I wonder how much significance that has in "O the Roast Beef of Old England", which I learned about in school except I wasn't paying attention so all I remember is that it's by William Hogarth who's always fun to pore over pixel by pixel, and that the fella on the far left middle is Bill Hogarth himself. Some dude with a poleaxe is about to thrown his rear end in a dungeon for spying, that's whose hand is emerging stage right to grab him. I've heard tell there's a lot of symbolism in poo poo like the monk wanting to grab a bite himself, but I'll going with a more literal context because I'm dumb.

Say, in all that talk about Space Force, did anyone point out that Space Force is the name of a recent TV series. Steve Carrel is the indignant general in charge of a non-existent branch of the military with a handful of personnel to, I dunno, train lunar infantry tactics and stuff. The new lowest lamest military branch. John Malkovich is the token civilian scientist who got pulled out of Darpa to be his engineer and run around with a pipe and bathrobe, and each episode they have to think up some completely token gesture to being a military branch. Like design a special space boot or watch space cadets fight in a simulator The running joke is that even the head of the Coast Guard laughs at Space Force and trolls Steve Carrel while he tries to maintain his dignity, you know that kinda Steve Correl role. They space out the jokes a bit with drama, but eh kinda funny sometimes. Nobody is allowed to say "Turmp is a loving idiot" so everything suddenly becomes Steve Carrel's fault while he tries not to cry. Syd Midnight has a new favorite as of 04:21 on Dec 20, 2020 |

Arsenic Lupin posted:No. No, it did not. You can argue (I will) that the Baker Street Irregulars' Sherlock Holmes stories were fanfic. However, the surge in what we now call fanfic was Star Trek zines, written by adults for anybody who would subscribe to the zine. (The term "slash" comes from "Kirk/Spock".) Fanfic started out as fans writing fic, of many properties aimed at a general audience. See Fanlore.org for details. imo it all goes back to the K/S Ladies who were thirsty nerd trekkies back when fanfiction was printed on ditto machines and a male-dominated scene.. a good book could be made about their history. They took their hobby real serious. There's something about the intensity of 70s trekkie nerds from back when Star Trek was off the air, before the first movies even, they just had TOS and the cartoon so they had very few rules to follow.

That's why the word "heritage" is a huge dog whistle. Heritage is what you inherit, by very definition it's something you neither earn nor deserve. Like skin color, it's something predetermined that is handed down at birth so that it's impossible to gently caress up. It's one of those big red flags like "liberty", "values", "wisdom", and "truth", that appear in a name to indicate something is pretty much the opposite of what that word is supposed to evoke.
