The only thing you really need to understand about [common situation] is that it's exactly like [weirdly specific scenario with no analogue in everyday experience which the speaker clearly believes is universal], and that all you need to do is [call to action which makes several peculiar assumptions about the listener's material circumstances].

Trapped-in-a-time-loop VN with a choice of multiple playable characters, each of whom believes themselves to be the only one who remembers looping; however, with the benefit of multiple points of view it quickly becomes clear to the player that they all do, yet none of them realise the others are also "in the loop" because they're all keeping it secret for a variety of complicated personal reasons.

Did you know trans girls are a lot like boats?

Boyn't

I've never regretted making a post more than this one because you have no idea how many people reblog only the first half and then put a punchline that either doesnt make much sense, is a huge stretch, or a joke about she/her pronouns. Im dying over here please stop i know boats are called she and her! I know it!!! Everyone knows it!!! Please someone save me!!!!!

i really hate the way the "boobs vs butt" thing got broken down into this implicit idea that butt is the nobler stance. it's really stupid. personally im a woman guy. [realizes how that sounds] [purses my lips in thought] [nods confidently] im a woman guy

Web series where the principal characters are constantly having long, emotionally open conversations about their needs and traumas, except it quickly becomes clear that one of them is wildly mistaken about their own motivations, one perfectly understands themselves but is lying on purpose, and one is just kind of saying shit.

One of them is conspicuously unfiltered in a way that's initially played for laughs, but it later transpires that they have this tremendous hangup about being perceived as true to themselves and they think oversharing is the same thing as being authentic.

Frankly, I don't buy the theory that the repeated sweeping deletions of trans women's blogs have principally been the product of bad-faith mass reporting campaigns abusing automated moderation. I've been falsely mass-reported before, on multiple occasions, and nothing's ever come of it. Someone is pulling that trigger.

very polite. 10/10

The thing that fascinates me about janky RPG Maker horror games is that there's a specific level of jank that invites audience participation. Many well-regarded examples of the type do not actually achieve their intended experiences of play, but they get close enough that that experience can be constructed with active player buy-in. As a player you can of course break any game by going out of your way to refuse to cooperate, but when you're put in the position of needing to go out of your way not to break the game, you become a sort of co-author in a way that games which are actually functional typically don't permit.

There's a certain satisfaction in being able to clearly see that the scenery is made of cardboard and taking special care not to tip it over because you're genuinely curious where the game's author is going with this.
