the television program buffy the vampire slayer is absolutely nooootttttt about the power of friendship. its about the tragedy of being surrounded by people who are too uncomfortable with your painful reality to be willing to meaningfully engage with you
being the slayer is a terminal illness that grosses everyone out if they think too hard about it
You are an unreliable narrator because your coping mechanisms for your deep-seated trauma forbid you from acknowledging the reality of the situation. I am an unreliable narrator because I sincerely have no idea what the fuck is going on.

Not to be a freak but why isnât anyone into being.. gentle and not evil in bed
Also why is it that sex that isnât wildly misogynistic or otherwise sadistic and borderline/actually abusive is immediately referred to as âboringâ??? What does that say about you as a person?? What does that say about our society?? Also tmi but to be honest if things get too rough my body literally goes numb anyway. The lack of nuance in sensations is boring to me like the what fuck has porn done to people???? The definition of modern âexcitingâ sex is just beating someone and at least hinting at some sick parody of rape. Just because you have a boner doesnât mean itâs any less fucked up.
In the 1980s, when many women were graduating with professional degrees, anger against women crackled the airwaves [popular culture recast tender, intimate sex as boring]. We saw a stupendous upsurge in violent sexual imagery in which the abused was female ⌠In a world where both sexesâ guilt and angry fear surrounded the sense that women were getting out of control, the public quickly lost interest in ordinary unharmed nakedness. Presented as more compulsively engaging to the attention of men and, eventually, women, was imagery that played out anxieties from the sex war, reproducing the power inequality that recent social changes had questioned: male dominance, female submission. Female nakedness became inhuman, âperfectedâ beyond familiarity, freakishly like a sculpture in plastic, and often degraded or violated.

PSA about custom themes!!
The popular icon family "cappuccicons" was abandoned a while back. More recently (within the past few months), the website that hosted it vanished. Even more recently (within the past few weeks or days) that website has been taken over / replaced, and blogs that use cappuccicons are now redirecting people to shady sites with a risk of malware.
To check if your blog or pages have been affected, just go to your true desktop blog: [blogname].tumblr.com (mine is memento-morri-writes.tumblr.com). If it loads normally, you're fine! If it starts redirecting you elsewhere (aka, if you see the address in the address bar change), close the tab immediately!
Fear not!! It's an easy fix! If your blog is affected, you just need to open the code of your blog or page theme and delete this line:
As for replacing your missing icons (which would have been missing for weeks/months anyways), it's very simple, even if you have no coding experience! It essentially boils down to 1) Find a set of icons (I've used Phosphor and FontAwesome.), 2) copy the provided script into the top of your page/blog code (where you deleted the cappuccicons script from), and then 3) replacing the icon names in the code with the names of whatever icons you want from your chosen icon family.
Feel free to send me an ask or DM if you need more detailed instructions!
(Gently pinging @bebewrites / @softcodes because even though you don't use those icons, I know a lot of people follow you for coding stuff, so maybe you could give this a boost?)

Mainstream movies are getting darker and more violent. And as Quentin Tarantino's latest project, Grindhouse, demonstrates, the worst of the violence is often directed at women. Kira Cochrane on the rise of 'torture porn'.
This is an old article, but a lot of these sexually violent films discussed are still very popular today, and media sexualizing violence is still a problem in shows and movies coming out this year, take for example âLove, Death, and Robotsâ which came out on Netflix pretty recently and had several scenes of gore and violence against women that were also creepily sexualized and gazey.
As a warning this article might be tough to stomach at some parts because it describes some of the gorey sexualized violence against women in these films
âTalking about his upcoming film Hostel II at a press junket recently, the young director Eli Roth couldnât contain his enthusiasm for the poster devised by the filmâs marketing team - a close-up of some sinewy, gleaming boar meat. âAny time people see women in a horror film,â he noted, âthey say, âOh, these girls are just pieces of meat.â And, literally, in Hostel Part II, thatâs exactly what they are. They are the bait, they are the meat, they are the grist for the mill. So I thought it was actually a really smart poster ⌠and really, really disgusting! I love it.âUnless you have a taste for seriously gory films, chances are you havenât heard of Roth. Last year, though, the first instalment of Hostel - the story of a Slovakian boarding house where rich men pay to enact tortures on unwitting victims - was a massive hit, topping the US box office on its opening weekend. The trailer promised that, âThere is a place where your darkest, sickest fantasies are possible, where you can experience anything you desire,â and the film strove to live up to that promise. Hostelâs most famous scene shows a man taking a blowtorch to a womanâs face, her eyeball coming out and dangling from the socket. Later, another character snips it off with some scissors.Horror films have, of course, always been full of nasty, misanthropic imagery.
In many other films, extreme, sexualised violence against women has frequently been a theme (Clockwork Orange, Boxing Helena and many others spring to mind). But recently the levels of horrific violence on show at the multiplexes - and the sheer cynicism of the films involved - have gone through the roof. And a lot of the most nasty, unrepentant and terrifyingly pointless violence is aimed at women. At least Clockwork Orange had a political point to make. (There can be no excuses for Boxing Helena.)Hostel is just part of a new subgenre of horror films which are so dehumanising, nasty and misogynist that they are collectively known either as âgornoâ (a conflation of âgoryâ and âpornoâ), or, more commonly, as âtorture pornâ. Other films that make it into the torture porn category are Wolf Creek, Turistas and The Devilâs Rejects, with each new film promising higher levels of violence - guaranteeing not just a considerable body count, but long, lingering scenes of terror, torture and pain. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
 In most of these films, both men and women end up being sliced, gored, dismembered, decapitated. In that sense they offer audiences equal-opportunity gore. But itâs the violence against women thatâs most troubling, because it is here that sex and extreme violence collide.The publicity campaigns for many of these films flag up the prospect of watching a nubile young woman being tortured as a genuinely pleasurable experience. So, for instance, a recent US billboard campaign for the upcoming (mainstream) film Captivity featured the filmâs star Elisha Cuthbert (just voted the 10th sexiest woman in the world by the young male readers of FHM magazine) in a series of four photographs. In the first (labelled ABDUCTION) a black-gloved hand covers her mouth. The second (CONFINEMENT) shows her, with bloody fingers, struggling to get out of a cage. The third (TORTURE) has her face encased in an odd white mask, tubes shoved up her nose, and apparently filled with blood. Finally, under the word TERMINATION, she is shown laid out, apparently dead.The billboard attracted a barrage of complaints, with Jill Soloway (one of the writers of Six Feet Under) leading a campaign against it - the poster was soon taken down. In a piece on the Huffington Post website, Soloway wrote that the images were âthe most repulsive, horrifying, woman-hating, human-hating thing I have ever seen in publicâ and didnât just represent âhorror, this wasnât just misogyny ⌠It was a grody combo platter of the two, the torture almost a punishment for the sexiness. It had come from such a despicable inhuman hatred place that it somehow managed to recall Abu Ghraib, the Holocaust, porn and snuff films all at once.â Joss Whedon, creator of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series, agreed, writing in a letter to the MPAA, the US ratings board, that the ad campaign âis not only a literal sign of the collapse of humanity, itâs an assault ⌠this ad is part of a cycle of violence and misogyny that takes something away from the people who have to see it. Itâs like being mugged.
Many of todayâs torture porn films are being made on tiny budgets by little-known directors, but with the release of the new Tarantino/Rodriguez double-bill, Grindhouse - designed as a tribute to the ultra-violent B-movie programmes of old - the trend officially reaches the mainstream. Made up of two films plus a clutch of trailers for non-existent movies, Grindhouse bombed when it was released in the US last month. American audiences were said to have been put off by the three-hour running time, and last week it was announced that Grindhouse will be released in a different format in the UK, the two films sold as separate features. Whether either film is any good is still up for debate - I, for one, found them both suicidally boring. What isnât in question is the disturbing attitude towards women in these films.First on the programme is Robert Rodriguezâs Planet Terror, a repetitively gory, gloomily depressing zombie picture, which opens with Rose McGowan pole dancing. There are close ups of her bottom and breasts in those initial scenes, and then she appears to be kissing another woman. In a feature about Grindhouse in Rolling Stone last month, Rodriguez noted that, âWhen we started talking about the movie, Quentin said, âThere should always be a lesbian kiss just around the corner - possibly.â I took that to heart, and in my very first scene, I have two female tongues going at each other and licking. You find out that itâs Rose licking a mirror, but it gets across the idea that it could be around the corner at any time."So far, so predictable. It isnât surprising that the filmâs main female character is a go-go dancer - Rodriguez is, after all, the director who made Sin City, in which the female characters ran the gamut from prostitutes to strippers. But having established McGowanâs sexiness, in Planet Terror, the attacks on her begin. First a zombie rips off McGowanâs leg, and then Tarantino (playing a zombie soldier called Rapist Number One) holds a gun to her head, before threatening her with rape. You can currently buy a Rapist Number One action figure online for your kids, should you so wish.
Then thereâs Tarantinoâs Death Proof, in which Kurt Russell stars as Stuntman Mike, a guy who gets his kicks from stalking groups of gorgeous young women, following them in his car and ramming whatever vehicle they happen to be travelling in, until they are dead. Severed limbs and bloodied faces abound. Interestingly, of all the women actors in Grindhouse, McGowan is the only one to appear in both films, and, while she survives Planet Terror (fitting the age-old horror archetype of the "final girlâ who persists to the end - usually, it seems, to help justify the misogyny that has gone before) this triumph is short-lived. In Death Proof, McGowanâs character is swiftly - gruesomely - dispatched. (In that same Rolling Stone feature, McGowan talked about her own attitude towards todayâs horror films, saying that, âall they do now is think about ways to torture women, primarily. I donât really get that. What is this, a manual for young, budding serial killers? Canât we just go watch Pillow Talk?â)Some of the nastiest images in Grindhouse arise in the fake trailers. Rob Zombie, director of The Devilâs Rejects, creates one for a dream project - Werewolf Women of the SS - which includes the image of a topless woman, bound and gagged, being tortured by cartoonish Nazi soldiers. And Eli Roth - him again! - packs a host of sex and gore into his three-minute trailer for a potential film called Thanksgiving, including an image of a cheerleader peeling off her clothes while bouncing on a trampoline, before apparently being impaled with a large, gleaming knife - through the vagina, no less. (Horrifying though this is, it isnât actually original - the 2005 film Chaos showed a woman being anally raped with a knife.)Unsurprisingly, the cheerleader scene in Grindhouse attracted some attention from the MPAA, the US ratings board, and Roth was forced to change it, to make the imagery much more suggestive than explicit. Addressing this at the American press junket for Grindhouse, he commented that âwhen I shot that trailer for Thanksgiving, I really thought there was no problem with anything - it just shows you how genuinely out of touch I am! I was like ⌠a full frontal labial shot, to camera, of a girl landing on a knife seemed like no problem to me âŚ"Of course, maybe Rothâs just trying to be funny - his tone is gleeful throughout this interview (a transcript and audio version of which can be found on a number of film websites). Later in the interview he says: "Let me tell you, I heard that Stanley Kubrick did a lot of takes on Eyes Wide Shut, it was nothing compared to the amount of takes we did once we had that cheerleader naked and bouncing around on a trampoline! I mean, she was great, she got it on the first take, but we did take, after take, after take! And we finished early and we had like three hours, and weâre like, âWell, how much film do we have?â And weâre like, âAll right, letâs ⌠letâs do it again!â And she just had a smile on her face the whole time."Grindhouse is, in many ways, a cartoon, and its intersection of sex and violence is meant to be ironic, funny even. It makes multiple nods to parody and pastiche. Iâm not so sure that British audiences will share the directorsâ humour though.
As one of the stars of Planet Terror, the British actor Naveen Andrews, has said on the subject of the B-movie films Grindhouse is based on: "Obviously, Quentin and Rodriguez saw some kind of aesthetic in these kinds of films, and for the life of me I was trying to grasp what it was. They were laughing like maniacs and I didnât find it funny for more than like a minute."Over the years, many directors have defended the violence in their films by claiming that itâs ironic. But is an image of a nubile woman having her innards pulled out - as occurs in Planet Terror - any less problematic because it has been made in a knowing way? You could argue that itâs more problematic.
Irony - with its inherent insincerity - can be an emotionally deadening tool, and, in terms of their content, these films are already deadening, de-sensitising enough. The irony just adds another layer of soul-sucking cynicism to the mix.Watching Grindhouse, I felt fundamentally depressed: who would seek out this experience as entertainment? What is more depressing is the fact that such films seem to be part of a wider trend towards the mainstream depiction of women as highly sexualised bait and prey: meat, as Roth had it. Over the past year, for example, weâve seen mainstream fashion images that have shown highly made up, designer-clad women being brutalised (Italian Vogue), apparently about to be gang raped (a Dolce and Gabbana ad), and shot, stabbed and electrocuted (Americaâs Next Top Model). On shows such as CSI and its many spin-offs and imitators, the victims of each weekly murder case are, disproportionately, nubile young women. Lisa de Moraes of the Washington Post came up with an apt shorthand for such series in 2005, dubbing that yearâs programmes the "season of Die, Women, Die!â
Of course, watching one of these films wonât turn a sane, decent individual into a killer or a torturer, but you have to wonder what effect this widespread meshing of sexuality and graphic violence will have on the young men at whom they are primarily aimed. The clear logic behind all these films, TV shows and images appears to be that if a young, good-looking, barely-clad woman is sexy while alive, sheâs even sexier when sheâs being tortured, or when sheâs a bloody corpse.â

Yeah itâs probably the regret, dude.
Considering the STD rates on set and the abuse by directors and the way many actors/actresses have to drug and sedate themselves to get through the filming, what youâre seeing is, in fact, regret.
This is where I simply cannot engage in conversations about what books itâs ok for people to read because I can read 10,000 horny books and never once see a real person actually being fucked and regretting it in real time.
I cannot imagine knowing Iâm watching a person having their body be penetrated for real and hating it and getting off to that.

What if we had a fantasy movie where all the characters were women? And only 4 men. It's so strange how easily we accept that all stories are about men
