More Gross To Love

genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.

if i were a respected british actor with any principles at all i would simply not agree to a project whose earnings will have material consequences for trans people but maybe i'm built differently

If you regret a permanent body alteration you got and your immediate thought is "raise the legal age for everybody who can do this" instead of "Maybe I, specifically, was a dipshit" you need to get Gotten by a mountain lion

Still cant get over that the first villains in legend of Korra were literally called the equalists💀 not to repeat the obvious but the way american red scare propaganda is still so prevalent in american society that all marvel movies and many kids tv shows will always have villains whose motive is to "make the world equal" is impressive if not depressing

Season 3 is much bolder. You actually have zaheer say that he wants to "tear down oppressive governments" citing the queen of ba sing se who literally kidnapped and conscripted ppl including children against their will and now you have korra on the opposite side of that bc "its crazy" and will cause chaos as if oppression should be a norm to accept in order to keep "balance" my god. And of course the means in which zaheer and his group r using to achieve freedom from oppressive governments will be ridiculous in order to discredit the idea that we should fight against oppressive governments. Imagine if aang was like we cant overthrow the firelord that would create imbalance. This is RIDICULOUS

yesssss lets all take swipes at anarchists and generate even more memetic division while protestors are catching terrorism charges for being in possession of anarchist zines were really saving the revolution #RESIST

anarchists are all useless do-nothing larpers but also short-sighted adventurists. all of them are dumb and bad people, and thats why i agree with the united states department of justice's stance that they have no place within our communities

this is an opinion i have developed independently, derived from social media interactions and memes propagated by my peers in the last five years, so im absolutely certain the popularity of this position has nothing at all to do with the FBI stating they were turning their efforts against Anarchists in 2021

HEY CAN EVERYONE TELL SHEILA THAT THIS IS NOT AN OVERREACTION AND THAT THIS IS INSANE AND YOU NEED TO LEAVE HIM YESTERDAY

GIRL, DUMP HIM

GIRL KILL HIM

okay even assuming your unborn child can hear you fucking. it's like having sex in front of your stuffed animals or your dog, dude. they have absolutely no understand of what is going on. they don't give a shit. at no point is any person who has ever or will ever be born going to go "oooooh man I think hearing my parents fuck while I was in utero really fucked me up actually" that's not how anything works. they're too busy going "mmm yummy amniotic fluid" they do not know or care that sex is happening

Are you doing okay? We missed you at the devil's sacrament. He mentioned you by name. Everyone was looking around and cheering until we realized you weren't there. If you need to talk I'm always here. At the aforementioned devil's sacrament.

It's so, so funny when folks bring up GURPS as a counterexample to the argument that even purportedly generic tabletop RPG character creation systems are tuned to produce a specific Type of Guy. GURPS character creation is desperate to produce the snarky unreliable narrator of a military science fiction novel. GURPS is practically gagging for it. GURPS will do unspeakable things to push your character in that direction.
