gamers aren’t so much a sub culture as they are a group of people that marketers were able to create so they could sell more expensive toys

Which subcultures weren’t invented by marketers though

you are fifteen thousand generations removed from stone tools

to be clear you are fifteen thousand generations removed from the invention of stone tools. not from the end of stone tools. modern humans are still using stone tools.

I thought you meant we were descendents -of- stone tools

your father was a handaxe and your mother smelt of microliths

actually insane to me that tumblr is a place where you can be so good at being horny you make friends about it

discussion about right wing radicalisation focuses near-exclusively on men becoming white nationalists but i wonder how it might manifest elsewhere. like, imagine a heavily online subculture of mostly women and they're dedicated to rooting out degeneracy, maintaining a rigid social order, refusing to acknowledge scientific consensus, being violently paranoid of a dehumanised other, adhering to exclusively eurocentric standards of beauty and politically dedicated to exterminating a minority group (possibly one that was already historically targeted for genocide). that'd be fuckin crazy lol

It's amazing how you made a post saying radfems are just like nazis, and then someone went into the comments to call you a slur to prove it.

the best part is nowhere in that original post did OP actually say 'radfems' or 'terfs' or anything. the person in the tags recognized that it was about them and then called themselves out.

Oh to be a little orange cat curled up safely in a dragons tail.

i appear to have made mortal nemeses with a pigeon

tumblr stop rooting for the pigeon

Apparently there were vernacular translations of the Christian Bible into Gothic that specifically omitted the books of Joshua and Judges bc the 4th century missionaries were like “yeah uh they uh… they don’t need to know about these parts… not yet… it’ll undo so much fucking progress they’re gonna read Judges and then their take away is gonna be “SO IF I SPEAK AN OATH TO BURN ALIVE MY FIRSTBORN CHILD THEN THIS CHRIST-GOD WILL GRANT ME INVINCIBLE FAVOR IN BATTLE?????”

they gotta put all their eggs in the "male socialization" basket cause some trans women don't even have the body parts they fearmonger about but they still want to control them

i am not a psychiatrist but i do find it really weird how autism checklists are so often focused on "outward" signs of autism rather than what is going on internally. i don't know how to explain it but "do you make eye contact with other people" feels like a much less relevant question than "how does it feel when you have to make eye contact with other people?"
