Just watched a youtube video where a bubbly young woman discussed an indescribably fucked up hentai manga about a teenage girl getting forced into prostitution and raped by her father, and otherwise tortured and violated in ways I will not describe here, as though it was just some run of the mill piece of media, and treated it like it had some kind of profound literary value because sometimes real girls go through those kinds of experiences, while completely ignoring the fact that it was hentai created specifically for sick men to jerk off to and written by one such sick man. And most of the comments also failed to acknowledge the nature of this work, and were just things along the lines of, "yep, life sure can be unfortunate for some people that is true." I just. What is happening to these girls? Like I truly don't understand how you can get to a place mentally where all you have to say about something like this is that it's "dark" and the characters are "bad people" like girl what you read should be illegal it is literally underage torture porn with a plot that serves the sole function of providing context that makes the porn parts as depraved as possible, and you think it was an enjoyable read that had important things to say about the female experience?? The author was not trying to earnestly depict the horrors of girlhood in order to get people to contemplate the significance of such atrocities and compel them to do something to help prevent them, he was trying to get himself and men like him off to the rape and misery of a teenager! This is a level of pornbrained internalized misogyny combined with poor media literacy that I previously did not think possible. My heart weeps for this girl and for other young women like her who are so numb to this kind of visceral depravity that they don't even register it as anything other than a sad story.

Thank you Abigail Thorn, aka PhilosophyTube, for setting in motion my eventual peaking when you said, with complete seriousness, "I am in fact of the female sex," when right up until that moment I had thought that all trans people were willing to acknowledge that you can't literally change your sex, and that no trans people were genuinely claiming otherwise. With one statement you caused me to start questioning everything I hadn't thought to question about the ideology being promoted by the trans movement. You truly helped this viewer to think more philosophically and critically in her daily life, which is exactly what you set out to do. Congratulations and thank you so much.

Has anyone else noticed a gradual increase in the frequency of typos everywhere? Typos in news articles, typos in official subtitles, typos in books and video games, in posters and pamphlets, in advertisements, on social media, etc.? Is literacy and quality control declining slightly or am I just imagining things?
