whenever people talk about farming games it's always in relation to stardew as if it birthed the genre when stardew itself is openly inspired by. yknow. A Certain Franchise That Predates It By Like 20 Years

ppl complain abt everyone being so boring/inauthentic/detached these days but the second u have interests they deem unusual theyll be like "waitttt thats giving neurodivergent..." like damn its so awesome that were pathologising giving a fuck about anything they dont sell at a tj maxx

the way the dominant ideology gets naturalised in almost every sphere of life makes people so resistant to examining it. so many people still naturalise the nuclear family, for instance. "ofc two people partner up and have children together, it's always been that way" except it hasn't always been that way and doesn't always have to be. things like childcare and providing/cooking food can be socialised. the nuclear family isn't necessary for social reproduction, and neither is the personal isolation and patriarchal oppression it supports

Tyrion's sexual abuse is often viewed as something that only happened in the past when it's actually something he still experienced as an adult. Tywin is constantly trying to have control over his sexuality from his relationships to who he has sex with this is why he has to keep Shae a secret and why he goes to extreme measures to keep her hidden. He forces Tyrion to marry Sansa then tries to pressure him into consummating it when he clearly doesn't want to. He has Shae talk about her and Tyrion's sex life in front of everyone at his trial. All of this is sexually abusive and it's not acknowledged anywhere near enough

what i’ve learned in my life is if someone is treating you poorly and youre asking yourself “what magic words can I use to make this person treat me with basic respect,” those words don’t exist and they never will.

“if ur gonna date a masculine woman why not just date a man” is like saying “if you’re going to eat chocolate ice cream why not just eat mud”

i hate how much ai has taken the joy out of seeing something cool. you used to see something cool, like a really intricate drawing or a video of someone doing an insane skill or two animals doing something cute, and because there were no mental gymnastics involved in discerning whether or not it was 'real' you could sit there and have the joy of like, "wow! how did they do that! how cool is it that they made that! what a wonderful moment to have captured!" and now every time i see something remarkable i hate that i have to sit there and be like okay let me go frame by frame to make sure everything lines up. let me double check the page this comes from. let me scroll through the comments to make sure no one called out something i missed. like i want the joy of being able to trust someone else's creation back, please

"biblically accurate" is such a pet peeve of mine like it means nothing and don't remind me the bible exists thanks

"none of these words are in the bible" I do not care what is in the bible you're scaring me
