Well I don't think "The Sentinelese simply don't want antibiotics and we must respect it" is the reason here I don't think that's true

don't think that when the sentinelese people are sick they think Wow this is awesome I'm happy there's no 20th century medicine that's helping me out here. And don't think they appreciate not having access to pain killers when they're in pain. They likely just don't know the exact details of the outside world and due to what happened to their neighbours they're likely somewhat aware (we can't know their exact reasoning for sure!) that contact with the outside world would bring them death (due to disease) and they might still (once again, we can't know) have Cultural memory of when the British kidnapped their people. positioning them as Aware of The Wonders But Choosing To Obstain Purely For Virtue is still racist they aren't magical elves who don't like when technology

i feel like whenever people discuss hatsune mikus age its always either "hatsune miku is literally 16 you cant treat her like an adult" or "hatsune miku is a piece of software with no thoughts or feelings you can do whatever" but never the imo more interesting "hatsune miku is a marketing mascot designed to be a virtual idol, what does it say about the idol industry that the people involved considered 16 to be the perfect age to assign her. why do so many vtubers played by adult women have 16 on their profile. why are so many idol anime about highschoolers. can we talk about the contexts and implications please please please please-"

and this isnt a "japan bad lol" thing theres so many characters out there who are functionally treated as adults but designated to be in their late teens. i think the oldest (official) disney princess is like. 21. its a feature of how society at large treats 16-25 as the only viable window of attractiveness yknow. the dicaprio problem. its everywhere once you look for it unfortunately and even characters i love are not exempt from reflecting the bias.

i’m tired of babying grown women who let beauty standards control their entire life. stand up, grow up & get over yourself. enough. you aren’t perpetual victims. exercise the autonomy you refuse to acknowledge you have. you can choose to stop this circus anytime. grown ass fucking women acting like helpless victims to the patriarchy and then in the next breath going “COME WITH ME TO MY BOTOX APPOINTMENT😃” you are traitors and we will never make it out of the patriarchy if personal responsibility can’t be taken

like god fucking damn women for centuries fought to have financial and social independence, and we largely achieved that in most countries, just for modern women who have no idea what patriarchy used to do to us to turn around and go “i’m not the problem, blame men for saying i look prettier after a nose job” you have everything your foremothers hoped and dreamed for, all that autonomy won through blood and sweat, and you waste it offering your body up to the patriarchy because “social pressure” get the fuck over yourself and stop acting like you have no choice. absolutely pathetic

and whenever people criticize women who get cosmetic procedures done and who enslave themselves to beauty standards it’s always met with “it’s not their fault, it’s the patriarchy” and i find that to be such a circular, never ending blame game. yes fucking obviously it’s the true fault of the patriarchy but you can’t hold a system of social hierarchy accountable because the decisions individuals make constitute said system. and turning it into a chicken or the egg debate does nothing besides shift blame to something that cannot be reckoned with or addressed. stop blaming the patriarchy at large for the individual decisions of fully autonomous women

“I asked chat GPT” yeah we can tell

There’s an emotion only unlocked when you live in a house with multiple stories. I call it “the stair emotion” and it’s when you realize the object you need is on the other side of yet another trip up and down those goddamn stairs. It’s the closest I get to transcending the desire for material goods. Maybe I don’t need that notebook. Maybe I don’t need anything.

every so often I come across a kink post about like being kidnapped and tortured or held at gunpoint or begging for ones life for sexual purposes and I understand its going for a very haggard frail thing being taken advantage of vibe but in my mental image it really just comes off the same as that picture of wolverine strapped to a nuke

This is the funniest image I’ve seen in years like this is probably the very worst thing that could possibly happen to anyone ever and the artist somehow perfectly conveyed the correct level of emotion he’d be feeling like dude it’s over but what else are you supposed to do

Aww man I'm sorry your situationship ghosted you. I thought you guys had real chemistry. You'll find someone else though. Hey why dont we hit the vintage store later, it's the perfect spot for you to try and pull a rebound. Yeah cuz everyone there is gonna be your age and stuff, and they'll all already be looking to pay a truly horrifying price for some dysfunctional, weird-smelling garbage that is lowkey haunted for real. No? Are you sure? Ok well I kinda need another itchy rayon negligee though so maybe we can raincheck.

Your misbehaving boyfriend is not funny to me

Just like a friendly reminder that you're allowed to be bisexual :) people are bisexual :) it's okay :) it's not always comp het sometimes you're just bisexual and it's awesome actually I love you :)

it's funny to call them ciswomen though

sherpas used to be treated like expedition partners that knew the land better than you because they were raised on it and now they’re treated like they are lowly disposable service workers setting up heated tents or spas for wealthy hikers who have no business on the mountain like they are collecting your nasty trash off one of the holiest and most sacred mountains in the world like do y’all understand that we see sagarmatha or mount everest as a living deity on earth while the rest of the world sees her as a conquest?
