#true crime is one of those genres where when its done well and when its done ethically#it can be really important in highlighting things like police corruption and false confessions and institutional bigotry etc.#documentaries like 13th or the thin blue line#or podcasts like unjust and unsolved#theyre so well done and done ethically and done with a purpose beyond entertainment#but then theres this other entire side of the genre which is just like tragedy porn and exploitation#people making entire documentaries or podcasts about tragedies without ever even contacting the family to ask for permission#glorifying serial killers#random tiktokers trying to solve murders in real time#i mean there’s that damn tiktok psychic who used tarot cards to communicate with god in order to solve a murder and then accused a random#woman of committing the murder and having an affair with one of her students#its so insane#i dont even know what the solution to it is because i dont think writing off the entire genre is the best option#because again theres very good true crime pieces and a lot of those pieces deliberately shine a light on police misconduct and give voices#to people who should have them or highlight cases that neither the police nor media paid any attention to#but something has to be done to stop all the exploitation and cruelty#it reminds me of wwii documentaries where there are some amazing documentaries out there#and then theres the shit the history channel does with all their nazi documentaries

life actually gets better when you leave the house consistently btw like im serious

god I'm such a slut for Chinese eggplant in garlic sauce *decides it’s inaccurate to refer to myself as a slut in light of my minimal sexual activity* if The Enemy discovered my ardor for Chinese eggplant in garlic sauce, they would gain a significant strategic advantage

i was talking about this on my server earlier but i really think "cozy" is one of the worst genre labels out there in the gaming space. like people dunk on the terms "metroidvania" and "first person shooter" a lot for being uncreative or limiting but at least those are like... falsifiable descriptors. you can look at a game and go "yeah this game's mechanics and core gameplay loop generally operate like metroid/castlevania" or "yeah this game primarily uses a first person camera paired with some sort of projectile weapon" so i don't think they're completely useless. but "cozy" is just nonsense. fully subjective. i see a lot of games popularly labeled as "cozy" that share almost zero mechanical features between them and don't even always match in tone or aesthetic. hearing a game described as "cozy" doesn't tell you anything about what to expect as a player beyond maybe giving you a sort of forewarning about the fanbase and their discomfort tolerance. "cozy" is not a quantifiable metric. like imagine if someone offered to buy you takeout and asked you what kind of food you'd like and you told them fully unironically, and with no further elaboration, "i want to get yummy food." that's what hearing "cozy games" sounds like to me

they hate me for my flat facial expressions and inability to contribute to conversations

Sent a 12 year old on a fake Hero’s Journey last week and holy shit he actually did it

and, look, I’m not complaining, not at all, but this is why it’s very important to be abundantly clear and specific with your Etsy witch.

the fact that guy is a real name you can have

disappointingly underutilized by trans men

you could walk in like "Hey I'm guy" and they'd be like is that an introduction or coming out and you could be like yes
