“Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

In the same measured time period, 227 events that took approximately 520 lives were committed by far-right extremists, and 42 events that took approximately 78 lives were committed by far-left or radical Islamist extremists.

-Trans women (cosplayers and non-cosplayers)

- Cis Women who feel too shy to actually show off their chest but still want to pull this off

- Cis women with small chests who also want to be true the characters.

-  Pretty much any dude who wants to cosplay as a female character

My Wretched Physical Form: No. I could do it more though. Would that help?

Me: How would that possibly help?

And in fact it may actually experience the most outages of any social networking site. It goes down at least once a year, usually way more.

Whereas Tumblr, whose servers are presumably an oozing, technological homunculus stitched together with duct tape, has gone down like twice in the three years I've been using it.

Billionaires prove time and time again that they are dedicated to bringing you the worst product.

And then someone will start shrieking and crying about how you can't just steal all those cupcakes from those two people!!!

That it's cruel and unusual to expect those two people to give up those cupcakes, without ever acknowledging that they can't even eat all of those cupcakes, and most of them will simply rot while 98 people split a single cupcake.

They also keep insisting that some of the 98 who do live in the US simply aren't white enough and don't deserve as much of the cupcake.

When elon musk was running DOGE and dismantling a bunch of our social services and closing agencies that were investigating his own companies then getting those companies into various lucrative government contracts?

It is not necessary for every feminist statement to include a 'not all men do this' disclaimer. The criticism itself already expresses the possibility that men could choose not to behave in this way.

Unless someone states that men's behavior can't change or that there is inherent evil in being a man, accusing a feminist of 'manhating' because she criticizes men is usually nothing but an attempt to distract from the content of the criticism itself.

I think that's a pity because some of what predictive algorithms can do is really great.

Like the Spotify algorithm has a lot of problems, but having a 'users who enjoyed the song you just listened to also enjoyed these songs' option? I really like that! That has really helped me discover new music. I've ditched Spotify now and I won't be going back, but I miss that feature. Most Spotify alternatives just don't offer anything like it at all.

Being attracted to any kind of body is normal. Fat bodies. Trans bodies. Disabled bodies. All normal. Being extra attracted to a specific kind of body is normal too. Totally normal to have a type.

Not unlearning the societal stigma attached to those kinds of bodies, the people who inhabit those bodies, and the people who fuck them, to the point where you do any of the following:

Only want to date/fuck the person in secret.

Reduce the person to the feature that you desire and ignore the rest of who they are as a person.

Expect the person to be a walking porn fantasy instead of a real person with their own sexual preferences and boundaries.

Would no longer love the person if the stigmatized aspect of their body changed.

Consider yourself superior to the person, think the person should be 'grateful' that you love their body, etc.

See the person as a temporary adventure while planning to eventually settle down with someone whose body isn't stigmatized.

Is bad and harmful and you shouldn't be dating anyone until you've worked on your shit, because this makes you a very terrible partner. This doesn't mean you are a bad person with bad-fetishist-desires who can only desire people badly, it means you need to unlearn societal stigma so you can be a better partner to the people you desire.
