i think one of the many cogs in why online discourse annoys me so much is just how many damn words there are. its never 'you shouldnt do [x] because that's cruel and assumptive' its 'you shouldn't do [x] because thats [BUZZWORD] and makes you a [BUZZWORD] who is aligning yourself with [BUZZWORD]'. and like obviously i dont want those terms to go away, theyre useful, we need precise language, it has it's place, but sometimes it really feels like people only wanna be good people when it means they get to feel like a Forward Thinking Political Activist. does anyoneget what im saying

like idk. it makes sense. people are going to better understand why they shouldnt do things or should adjust their thinking if they understand what sort of hateful groups also adopt those lines of thinking. i just wish people could more easily be swayed by simply understanding basic concepts such as 'being mean is bad, and will make people upset' and 'stereotypes are not good and cause damage'

might be talking out my ass but i think it's also why so many ppl who supposedly have strong morals dont actually have any personal moral backbone they abide by. instead of actually having base morals you believe in, it becomes a game of figuring out what will or wont make people mad at you online and scrambling toward making sure you reflect the Good Guy labels you want because you dont want people to label you as one of the Bad Guys, without actually fully understanding why 1 thing is good and why 1 thing is bad. and then you have to get repeatedly slapped on the wrist and course corrected bc youre not actually learning you just know what people consider bad and are flinching away from buzzwords. a lot of this misery and confusion could be avoided by understanding basic concepts such as 'being mean is bad, and will make people upset' and 'stereotypes are not good and cause damage' and 'respecting other people is good'

me if i was lobsta 🦞 monday

it's actually so crazy how much the simpsons would fucking suck if it didn't have any of the simpsons characters. just a bunch of shots of empty houses and streets for half an hour while nothing happens. that would be so badddd lol

yeah that tends to happen when you remove characters from media. without characters its all just background. i guess movies set in scenic locations would still land as kinda nature docs but even then

it only happens with the simpsons

this same criticism could be applied to nearly any media ever.

it's just the simpsons. are you a troll?

Dragon's right, if you remove all the Simpsons characters from Death Note it hardly changes anything

Yeah sorry I can't come into work today. I accidentally heard Primadonna by Marina formerly of and the Diamonds. So I need the day to be a primadonna girl. Yeah it's going to be the whole day.

i support gore and torture but i draw the line at misogyny

I’ve tried a few porn games, but all they have such bad user design. so like one of the games was a platformer, I thought okay, I used to play mario, this’ll be no problem. WRONG. I couldn’t even get through the first level. two straight hours of missing the same jumps and near sobbing about it. at what point am I supposed to get horny? I can’t even reach the naked demon lady because I CANNOT! MAKE! THE JUMPS! so I try another game about seducing milfs. you need to clean the milf’s house to make her like you. okay, I have limited energy per in-game day, so I vacuum her house, I tidy her magazines, I clean her dishes, I go to sleep. this repeats for days. the milf still doesn’t like me. why?? I’ve spent real hours of my life vacuuming her digital floor. why won’t the milf fall in love with me? what am I doing? what am I doing?

Do not let gamers near nonbinary characters

am i allowed to say kill all trillionaires or is that too specific of a threat

aint it crazy how everyone is famous nowadays and yet I dont know who anyone is. there are countless people that will have more followers on instagram than the population of Sacramento and no one I know irl has ever heard of them
