When the whumpee is so used to this that the most reaction they give to deep wrenching pain is a casual "Ow" and nothing else while they wait for it to go away. Or not. Either way, it's nothing new and nothing they can't handle

The reason conservatives object to people being desensitized by disgusting and violent content in media is because they rely on shock and disgust to manipulate people. They can't easily control a population that relies on critical thinking skills to make moral judgments.

I really wish our society was literate in media psychology because a lot of whatās happening right now on his social media posts would be instantly recognizable instead of endlessly debated.
What Trump is doing online with his Truth Social account isn't just cruel trolling. It's more than that. It's BEHAVIORAL CONDITIONING.
His posts are meant to TRAIN. Train peopleās emotional responses. Train what feels normal. Train what feels permissible. Train what feels exciting. They say, you donāt have to be thoughtful. You donāt have to be accurate. You donāt have to be humane. You donāt even have to be consistent. You only have to be vicious in the right direction.
Media psychology teaches that repetition plus authority plus emotional arousal rewires perception. And thatās exactly what his feed does. It keeps his audience in a constant state of anger, contempt, and permissioned cruelty, which all short-circuits critical thinking and replaces it with reflex.
If people understood media psychology, theyād see that outrage is not a side effect of his communication strategy. No, itās the product. High-arousal emotions like rage and disgust make people more suggestible, more loyal to in-groups, and more tolerant of norm violations. When you keep an audience emotionally flooded and exhausted, you donāt have to make sense. You just have to keep them ACTIVATED.
His feed is also doing desensitization work. The reason each post has to be more outrageous than the last isnāt because heās ālosing it.ā Itās because once shock wears off, you have to ESCALATE to maintain engagement. Thatās a basic principle of media effects. What once would have ended a political career now barely registers because the audience has been trained to tolerate and even crave transgression.
And maybe most importantly, media literacy would make clear that the chaos is strategic. Confusion is the point. When the public is exhausted, journalists chase outrage instead of patterns, and institutions hesitate out of fear of backlash, power consolidates quietly and all kind of policy bullshit can go down behind the scenes.
So, we need to stop asking whether Trump āmeans it,ā whether heās āserious,ā whether he's trolling, or whether heās ājust saying what people think.ā We need to ask the more dangerous question: What behavior is this training people to accept, and who benefits from that acceptance?
Rereading eleceed and i cant believe i missed this before butā¦..after the world academy kids fought frameā¦.and we find out abt the kidsā¦.do we just glaze over the fact that Laura lost her lifeā¦.? Yea sure arthur lost his arm and Leah lost an eyeā¦.but Laura aināt coming back dudeā¦. It was mentioned in passing and no ones concerned infact its not even mentioned afterwards by anyone. The comments on webtoon dont talk abt it eitherā¦ like i gwt that she was a minor character and nobody really liked herā¦its just very surprising. Or maybe im overreacting but i feel like we have just been so desensitised that brushing past stuff like this has become soā¦normal? Yea yea its not all that deep except it might beā¦
how would you help a patient cope with their fear of needles?
Iād recommend desensitization therapy. While it can be intimidating itās really the better option, with a handful of visits we can get you over your fear of needles which will make so many future appointments less stressful. The way we do this differs slightly depending on the severity of your phobia. If you canāt so much as look at a needle without panic we will have to start much slower. But for most patients we start with having you lay on the exam table often in a gown so thereās multiple injection sites accessible. I will put on gloves then prep an area letās say on your thigh, the way I would for an injection, Iāll pinch the skin the way I would for an injection; then stop. Iād repeat that on different injection sites all over your body, advancing to bringing the needle down to your skin so it looks as though Iād break skin without doing so. Once you can cope sufficiently with the preparation and the needle drawing close we will move onto true practice injections. Iāll prepare a handful of syringes with either sterile saline or lidocaine and I will prep you as usual. You will not be warned that this time the needle will be penetrating your soft flesh. I find thereās less panic when you do not see it coming. Often time patients are pleasantly surprised with how little they react when the needle enters their flesh! Then we will continue the cycle of prepping a handful of injection sites, bringing the needle close, then withdrawing. Until again once you are relaxed and donāt see it coming the needle breaks skin again. This often takes place over a handful of visits but most patients have finished their desensitization treatments within a month or so of office visits. ļæ¼
For some patients that are more jumpy than others they might need restraints for their safety as jerking with a needle in their body can lead to broken needles which often have to be removed surgically. No one wants that! But I will avoid using chemical restraints or sedatives as itās important youāre mentally present for this process.
Youāll be very brave for me, wonāt you?

Being "nonchalant" is such a turn off. There's a huge difference between unbothered, cool and grounded, and being straight up rude, ignorant and bland.
When did being a decent person who's attentive to other people, whether it be a partner, friend or stranger, turn into "cringe" or "simp" or "wanting it too much"?
Especially men
Inspiration for muzzled Sebbie?
It's spring, so heat and mating time!
Sebastian gets touchy feely and keeps trying to give you hickies and smooches to try and release his feelings as well as get you aroused (even doe he knows you have important work to do...)
He won't come and ask for help when you're free. It's always. When. You're. Working.
So what do we do to bad demons that can't learn to be patient or properly communicate their needs? We muzzle them. (Desensitisation too if you're okay with that)
Leash him. Tie him to the table and have a bar (idk what it's called) separate his legs permanently so he can't try to rub himself out. The only way he can get pleasure is try to hump your foot till he admits he's been bad, apologises and asks for help directly
Oooh!! This is so good!! (A spreader bar I think is what youāre talking about? It forces a subs legs apart and keeps them like that)
(ALSO I CANT BELIVE I HAVEBT DONE FOR DESENSITIZATION??)
Sebastian (demon forms, teasing, nuzzling, basically underlining pet play, ed:ging, slight pact play, ruined org*sm (once), )
There is so much symbolism in 'Asteroid City' that I can't express it all in a single post. Here are some bullet points. Send an ask if you want clarification on anything
ā¢ The backstage scenes being black and white whilst the play scenes were in color shows contrast of the true real world to the fake world of the stage
ā¢ The fact the man who played the main role played a widower after his husband died (not to mention the scene where he talked to the female actress who was supposed to play his character's dead wife possibly representing him mourning the death of his husband, but that's a whole different discussion)
ā¢ The love interest adult female supposedly being a comedian (mentioned time and time again) although never telling a joke or even laughing once
ā¢ The defiance of the boy who leaked the alien info getting him in trouble with the government but eventually being pardoned has a lot of symbolic meaning, especially in today's world
ā¢ The desensitization of the A-bomb testing right near the town on the townfolk, in my opinion, says a lot about how we allow the government to control us without us caring
Bonus thing!:
I love The Office (US), so seeing Steve Carell not only in the movie, but still being a funny character despite the underlying themes really put this movie over the top
