Female one btw
okay this is really fascinating to me bc I feel like what they're each picking up from each other is "this woman fails to meet the standards of hetero womanhood" - none of them look like the lead of a romcom, none of them look like an instagram model. passing each other on the street they won't look that closely, but when scrutinizing the image, they pick up on these "failures" and interpret them as deliberately signaling disinterest in male attraction. the secret of course is that no one can meet these standards because they're fake; instagram models and movie actresses are staged and edited.
of course the creator probably got some "straight" responses and edited them out but it's interesting right? that wearing a leopard print top or being the "wrong" body shape pings whatever passes for a gaydar on straight people? that women in t-shirts without a full face of makeup are not performing enough femininity to be "real (straight) women"? the unprompted transvestigation is not unrelated from the distinction of who is a real straight woman.
washing dishes is evil because you go "oh fuck there's so many dishes this is gonna take foreverrr" and then you enter the dish abyss and emerge with your abdomen somehow covered in water and your hands all wrinky and then you look at the clock and what felt like half an hour was actually 10 minutes
Tbh I think the "but data centers are important infrastructure, not just AI" talking point misses that like
Ok so roads are important infrastructure. A lot of stuff that's important happens on roads. Now, let's imagine that quadrillionaire Matt Stench has decided that the next big tech innovation is the Wide Car. It's a car that takes up six lanes despite seating only one passenger.
The Wide Car is supposed to be the future, and everyone's going to be driving Wide Cars, even though nobody who makes Wide Cars is turning a profit. Employers are offering Wide Cars as an employee benefit, and getting "nah." Some employers are going as far as demanding their employees drive Wide Cars, and the result is that people take time out of their workdays to get in the mandatory gas usage for their Wide Car before driving home in a regular car.
In spite of the fact that the Wide Car is clearly set to fail, there's an enormous push to expand to twelve-lane roads to accommodate a bunch of Wide Cars that simply will not materialize. This is not an organic response to demand, but a speculative investment that amplifies the existing issues with road development for no good reason.
That is the problem.
Oh and the road infrastructure project is buying up resources other people could have used for literally anything else. With money they promise they'll be making from Wide Car sales any day now.
Okay so what I'm getting from the notes is that when you try to transplant some techbro nonsense into an offline equivalent, you have to be careful to avoid simply inventing something the Americans are already doing in real life
it doesn't matter which country we're talking about here, if someone from any country in the world says "oh where i am from there is simply no racism", you not only shouldn't believe them, but you should actually never take them seriously about anything ever again.

[ID: Nine screencaps from Taskmaster. Amy Gledhill says, "Can I just ask what hirsute means?" Greg Davies replies, "Hairy." Amy says brightly, "Hairy! OK, that's all right." Alex Horne asks, "What did you think it might have meant?" Looking thoughtful, Amy says, "More... I'm trying to think of a better word for open. But hairy's fine. That's good." Greg says, "You thought that Alex wanted ladies to be a little more dilated?" Amy leans forward in her seat, laughing. End ID.]
TMRAs are always gesturing towards the women who are supposedly saying that trans men aren't oppressed, and then you look at what's actually being said and it's all, "people broadly treat trans men pretty terribly, which is awful. but it doesn't happen because they're men, it happens because they're trans." and this is seen as an unacceptable insult to manhood, for which these women must be hunted down and crushed.
on a related note i think everyone has to get a lot more normal about nudity in general. specifically nudity of people you are not attracted to sexually. itās one of those american taboos i find really frustrating. I grew up being casually nude a lot as a child, skinnydipping and playing with friends and going in saunas. Always around safe adults i trusted and friends i knew well. and now as an adult, i donāt care at all if i see someone nude. And like i will mention this to people and theyāll act like it was weird or itās weird that i donāt give a fuck if someone iām close to walks around the house naked when iām around but itās really just that nudity around someone else does not equal wanting to fuck them and in many, many, many other cultures itās not seen as taboo at all? Itās a consent thing, of course. Iām not asking anyone to be okay with someone exposing themselves to you if thatās not what you want. but i wish people were more open to the idea of nonsexual nudity in general because itās really not that weird to see your friendās tits and not want to fuck them. its literally normal
when a woman points out that sports fans hate women and sports leagues hate women and athletes hate women people will often go "just watch women's sports" and it's a stupid fucking response every single time
women should be respected in every single sports space, none of these structural issues are solved by just ... sending them somewhere else + the way people say this always comes across as demeaning; watching womens sports is worthwhile on its own, it shouldnāt be prescribed as exile for women who notice that the wider sports world hates them
maybe this is too woke but i really hate the trope of naked older women = scary or vomit inducing or gross or whatever. like you even see it used in horror on occasion like oooooo so scary theres a woman with saggy boobs and wrinkles. There is something to be said for unconsensual veiwing of nudity. sure. itās uncomfortable and violating for someone to be nude in front of you that you donāt want to see. but rarely thatās seen as the issue and instead the real āhorrorā or gross out joke is the very idea of a woman who does not have a body that is sexually desirable to men. The very idea of an older womanās body is treated like itās something that we should all know is gross, sick and wrong. Itās just something that really bothers me

"would i be good at this thing?" and "would it be fun to do this thing?" are two different questions!!
so, for that matter, are "can i endure this?" and "would doing this be worthwhile for me?"
I miss when ads were a single click and then theyāre gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesnāt even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.
I hate advertising. I hate that you canāt do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that thereās nothing I can do about it.
I pull up my slide show. The first slide says āI do not want to financially support the Church of the Latter Day Saints in any wayā. There are murmurs of agreement and approval from the room
Next slide. āBrandon Sanderson is a member of the LDSā. The muttering has changed tone
āItās not a very big amount of money though.ā Someone in the audience pipes up. āHis cut is only a small fraction of the cost of the book, and then-ā my next slide shows an income breakdown, it is titled āa small fraction of $10,000,000 is still a big numberā
Iām sweating. The following slides explain tithing rules. The vibe of the room has shifted. I start to doubt Iām getting out of here alive
i wish we were able to talk about women's rights without someone mentioning how much they do or don't want to have sex with them. i don't care if you're a lesbian Stop finding worth in women purely from their perceived attractiveness
"I think women should not be expected to shave for societal respect / to avoid discrimination" "yeah𤤠i love bush" ok well that's not what we're talking about is it.
i hate how many posts about trans women deserving respect always devolve into "I love girldick" or "trans rights but I don't want to date a trans person" because that's entirely unrelated to the topic at hand. you should not respond to feminism with "YESSS I loveeee you because I see you as nothing but a sex object" you people sound like other men I get stuck talking with that end up saying "free the nipple so I can see boobies in public" and thinking they're feminists. why can't we just respect women regardless of your attraction to them or not. why does it need to be brought up in every conversation regarding their rights

thinking about chapter 2 weird route again.
berdly is like, incredibly abrasive right? frankly comedic levels of abrasive, especially to certain kinds of players. thatās his role in the story, to be a little shithead whoās so pathetic itās funny. a walking punchline. but really, like queen said, thereās nothing wrong with him, at least nothing that it isnāt normal for a teenager to have āwrongā about them. heās just annoying.
but being annoying is one of the most dangerous things a fictional character can be.
so many times iāve watched someone play chapter 2 and very quickly wonder out loud, semi-jokingly, if they can kill berdly, usually not long after heās introduced in the dark world, often going as far to say they would be willing to abandon the pacifist route to do so.
so the chapter 2 weird routeās climax is, essentially, the game calling that bluff. really? you really wanna do that? okay. hereās who you wanted to kill. a normal ass teenager who stops fucking around and cuts the smartboy bullshit the moment he realizes his best friend is in Actual Real Fucking Danger and immediately rushes to help her. this is who he is when heās in a position where you can kill him. not an annoying cartoon character. is that satisfying? is it worth it?
I am honestly hesitant to assign the label feminist to any piece of fiction. Can an object be feminist when feminism is a set of values. I think a better way to think about this is to use a more precise language. "This work offers a feminist critique of..." "This works articulates feminist ideas of..." "The narratives aligns with feminist values..."
In what ways does this text enact, express, or participate in feminist values and feminist discourse?
...That's how I feel about it, these days.
