@Sombolding @tragic_endings_ I mean the guys killing women are probably not the same people who feel like they can't cry without being ostracized.

@tragic_endings_ I get what you mean but I don’t think it was intended to be a 1:1 argument that is completely defendable. I feel that it is meant more to convey a specific viewpoint, which it does well. And I think your analogy is a pretty obtuse strawman.

This is one or those tweets that you think is clever until you stop to think about it for a second and realise it makes no sense
This is like if a gay man complained about homophobia and how it is used to shame men and women randomly brought up femicide (which is illegal)

@farspacehunter "What is the purpose of a male in a shop that sells bras and panties?" Just running a lawnmower over intersectionality huh?
English
adult women, yes. what is the purpose of a male in a shop that sells bras and panties? any man with a modicum of respect for women would never enter a lingerie store. it’s creepy as fuck. make him wait outside.
Zie@Pretentiousfoid
Victoria’s Secret is literally a lingerie store for ADULTS, what are we on about

everyone acting like men being total creeps even with their women present is such a foreign idea to them is hilarious

@bambam_ojy Your discomfort in a public space does not lend you the ability to stop other people from being there. Please grow up.

society had and has zero respect for feminine masculinity
ruby 🏳️⚧️@frauleinruby
i think "femboy" becoming the shorthand for feminine male has done a lot of damage to society's perception of feminine masculinity.

@Favwontmiss I don't know why any doctor would get defensive about this unless they don't actually think they gave a correct diagnosis. If you genuinely think it's stress and anxiety then you message back confirming the notes.
English
There is a massive loophole in the medical system, and it is a patient's absolute best friend. It is the patient portal. When a doctor dismisses your symptoms or refuses a test, you do not have to argue or cry in the exam room. The exam room is designed to put them in a position of power. Instead, you accept it calmly, go home, and use this exact strategy to shift the legal liability right back onto them.

@Un1verssF4stest I thought as soon as they explained Mahoraga that it could probably adapt to infinity and when Sukuna used him I knew Gojo was in a race against the adapting Mahoraga. Sukuna watching how Big Raga adapted and copying it makes sense to me.
English
Narratively it makes sense he lost, but
Realistically he would have won, and it makes zero sense as to how he died the way he did
JJK Dose@jjk_dose
How did people think Gojo was gonna win against sukuna anyways? 😭

@LightCro Prydwen only accounts for the average skill level. The Zani/Pheobe team is in T2 but accounts for 3 of the top 5 endgame speedruns.

Not trusting prydwen but this is lowkey so sad to see for a collab character

@VenomFrenchPunk I mean people argue about stuff like the King In Yellow all the time having never actually sat down and read the source material for it.
English
It's always about gaming. You never, ever see any of these morons talk about other medias.
"Let's remake this old movie, the old one sucked anyway."
"Why do you care so much ? It's just a movie."
"I didn't watch that movie. I watched a YouTuber talk about it."

@dscottbuch @tonyannett He pays it bacl by just getting more loans, it's called buy, borrow, die.
English
@tonyannett A loan in not income. It has to be paid back. If there is no outside source of income to pay it back then shares will be sold and taxes paid. Musk it the largest individual tax payer in U.S. history.
English
He can borrow against it at low interest rates, giving him income that isn’t taxable.
Janis Kluge@jakluge
Elon Musk doesn't "have" a trillion dollars. It's just market cap on paper. He can't spend it. If he tried to sell his SpaceX stock, he would get much, much less for it. Market cap is pretty pointless if only 5% of a company is traded.

If you can’t tax billionaires and trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity.
If it’s not real enough to tax, it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage.
This is why we say the system is rigged in favor of the super wealthy. Abolish billionaires, tax them out of existence, protect working people.

While this is transphobic violence, we shouldnt feel sorry for this guy. he goes around intentionally trying to shock people with “haha I’m actually a deep voiced man” for 'comedic' purposes, using the trans community for money
Lowkey he deserved a hit in the head

People keep saying we’re in Idiocracy but President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho at his core wanted what was best for his people and when evidence presented itself he listened to experts to solve the problem. By all accounts a better leader than this.

@skeleoncemore Which doesn't preclude people engaging in the medium and coming out with disasterously bad take aways. People watched Obsession and came away with "Poor poor bear, he didn't deserve any of that". I'd rather have someone who didn't play but understood the game than the reverse.
English
There are actually plenty of ways to engage with mediums wrong
You can watch a movie on 5x speed, skip around scenes, play it in reverse
You can read a book in reverse, read the summary and that's it
Most mediums do indeed require bare minimum structure of engagement
hailey@spockinators
@skeleoncemore people are allowed to engage with the medium however they want 🤷♀️ there’s no “correct” way to engage with any media or medium of art as long as you aren’t being elitist about it
English
@kikynium This is the core of it, there's two different people being discussed, one is the hater who talks shit about a game based on hearsay from their favorite drama streamer and the other is your buddy saving up to buy the game but in the meantime yaps about how much they like the game.
English
people say things so definitively like man i think it depends
KJGD | Storm@tivstippi
You watch movies, you read books, you play games. How hard is it to understand not engaging with the medium you call yourself a fan of is considered larp

@hiconfetti It might be an open content creator thing, I know a lot of CCs have people trying to find their address after a game of dbd.

@RepublicofTim @ArtD34h Right then the complaint is that Tomb Raider is too gory for being an action game, people keep trying to make the devs out to be guro perverts, which I'm not saying is impossible, when it seems more to me that the devs like gratuitous violence and are in the wrong genre for that.
English
Speaking as someone with "a weird gore fetish" these scenes arent really that hot or pornographic.
They are however kinda icky in the broader way of how these games take a badass woman protagonist and turns her into a vulnerable squishy torture toy for the animators.
Marshal Bohemond ⚔️⛨ | Space Crusader Vtuber@HMBohemond
The reason the death scenes are censored like this is because game journalists saw the gruesome death scenes in the first Tomb Raider remake and said, "Yeah these are inherently sexualized deaths." TL;DR - Some game journos have a weird gore fetish, got uncomfortable, so now we can't have violent deaths in Tomb Raider anymore.
English
@EegoBeego @Acerola_t Agree to disagree, you can discuss mixtape having only watched a playthrough. Whether you got to play with the stim toy or not doesn't preclude being able to make a judgment. Imo there needs to be a minimum level of interactivity and playthrough experience difference.
English
@MNiko299 @Acerola_t …yes? Like, it objectively does. Not by much, sure, but it’s still nonzero and it always will be unless there are exactly zero interactive elements at all
