I'm OP, but I wanted to make my own contribution.
It really annoys me how so many singers are starting to wear bodysuits. It's a dancers thing, I can excuse that if they can dance ( Madonna, Beyonce, etc ). However it's so unflattering on so many singers. It only really brings out how flabby their legs look with a suffocated vag.

thank you for this thread! i have so much stuff i want to bitch about with farmers that's not serious enough for the vent thread.
https://www.dollskill.com/lookz/delias-90s-style-clothing-and-accessories.htmli keep getting ads for this delia
s/dolls kill collab and i hate it! it looks identical to a cheap "flower power" halloween costume. i think it completely misses the point of the 90s aesthetic. og delias like pic related was completely different and actually cute. where are the earth tones? where's the tomboyish stuff?
it also makes me feel old af because obviously 90s revival has been a thing for a while now, but before a lot of it was people my age trying to look like their cool babysitters or big sisters from the 90s. now it's just kids born after 2000 wearing an actual costume. fuck!

In several languages (some ancient), vocal fry is utilized as a glottal sound to differentiate vowels and it's been observed and documented since the mid-20th century. There are plenty of men with vocal fry, for example, Noam Chomsky. Do people pile on him for sounding like a dumb valley girl?

I used to share a house with two identical twins, both gorgeous.

The other didn't have this problem, and was actually pretty chill. I hung out with her semi-regularly, she was cool.

I don't think someone aware of classical studies could ever claim that Europeans have no culture. Like some of my first memories of secondary school were of learning about the Roman culture, Greek architecture, the Medieval period and the Renaissance period, I'm guessing none of that is covered in the US.
I'm guessing the person who had an argument with me did Google my country but hilariously she tried to educate

Probably not a lot of white ppl that can relate but people who go on about “muh black hair” and talk about how people are literally persecuted at school and their jobs for going natural are full of shit sometimes and have probably either never actually seen it happen or work in some kind of service industry that requires them to pull their hair back and keep it out of the way and they see that as some kind of “opression” because they cant show off all of the work they put into their hair. A lot of its attention seeky.
And this is coming from somebody who has 4A kinky hair and has left it natural since high school. Nobody cares about your hair as much as you think they do, and the people who cant stfu about that shit are the people who spend hours prepping and upkeeping their hair to the point that its a fucking lifestyle for them. (The same can be said about skincare/makeup/fitness and I know it can be a hobby for some people, but talking about it 24/7 and interjecting it into conversations makes me secretly hate you)
Also people are always reaching when some white dude has dreads talking about “oh if it was a black man they would have made him cut that shit off” like come on seeing some rando white boy with stanky ass dreads i tend to think lesser of him than if a black man had dreads (probably because of the association with gross hippies)

And braids aren't exclusive to black people, but they are most COMMON on black people, just as blonde hair is most common on white people, whether jealous people want to admit it or not.

>>320762Well said. I feel like all these people picked it up from black of gay Twitter or something. But if someone actually from a region like the South or Appalachia uses y'all, you know word we've used for generations, it gets derided. Sometimes transplants pick it up when they move to Southern states, but that's different, that's just a thing that happens when people move to different places with a different accent/regional dialect.
>>321813It originally started as a 4chan meme about guys dressed up like women who actually looked feminine, or at least feminine by the standards of 4chan. Then you find out they have a dick and "It's a trap!" It seems like the term has broadened more over the years though. I actually heard a 15 year old girl use the term trap at a con recently, referring to a tranny. It was very odd hearing that word in real life.

It's just a fucking dog that most likely died off-screen anyways. It's not stupid to feel sad or uncomfortable while watching an animal die in a movie, but it

He was laughing like a retard and saying shit like "You're gonna be the next one!!!". Since she actually had a good reason and didn't call the police or 911 for anything trivial, it didn't go viral. No one doxxed her, and literally nothing happened to her.
All the people in the viral videos were actually being shitty, racist and wasting the police's time because they basically wanted to "put those coloureds in their place". As long as that's not you, nothing will happen. If that
is you, on the other hand…Yeah, be careful, and maybe look at your life.

>>322224Fine, I'll give you some examples:
>walk somewhere, person with dog passes by, dog comes to me, sniffs me, tries to jump up my leg etc>my face and me backing off clearly shows that I don't like it, yet owner of course coos at how cute their little doggo is and says that exact sentence: "He only wants to play!" also "He doesn't bite, he's really nice!"You can deny it all you want, but you know exactly that this happens constantly. If I'm scared, disgusted, whatever, if I voice my discontent when the owner should get it away/off from me. Yet the owners always insist that they're harmless and friendly, completely ignoring me, so yes, I do think that counts as expecting me to like them.
I'm allergic, yet people give a shit about that, because "Really? haha Oh come on…" "No anon, he's really clean!". Pushing your dogs onto unwilling people and trying to force them to show affection towards it, is expecting people to at least act as if they also like dogs. Even straight out saying that I hate them doesn't matter, because then they try to convince me of their dogs cuteness. There's literally not a single thing they allow as an excuse; no matter what, you simple have to keep up with their dogs harrassing you. When it comes to peoples furbabies a "No" suddenly no longer means "No".
I remember my mother having to carry my crying and scared younger brother countless of times, yet dog owners just laugh it off instead of taming their animal.
The supermarket there I work and shop at has two large signs "No dogs allowed", yet somehow not a single dog owner seems to be able to read. When I work there I have to sell bread - of course touching it with my bare hands - yet so many people carry their dogs, so right before handing me the money, the same hand that is now touching mine was on their dog's ass. That's so disgusting. But fuck all hygenie standards and consent for the sake of your - excuse me, your dog's feelings…

My mom won't stop bringing up how I should marry rich.
Ever since I broke up with my long-term, ungrateful bastard bf she won't let me hear the end of it. (Except this relationship ended not because he lived paycheck to paycheck; but because he didn't appreciate me and I felt wholly unloved and taken advantage of).
It's really annoying, is pissing me off, and makes me absolutely disgusted because I think she's a sicko for what she says sometimes.
Ftr, I am the same anon who brought this up in the vent thread about a week ago. Aka the last time I spent a weekend at her household. Aka when she gives me these dated, gross lectures absolutely fit for a debutant living in the 1920s. But not for me.
Some of you might think a mother tells her daughter to hunt for richies out of some sort of good intention, but there's so many reasons why her rambling comes off as cold and uncaring:
Just today we were out antique shopping with my aunt for shits and giggles. A bald, unattractive man in scrubs who appears to be in his late 30s exits one of the shops. Mom turns to me, she says,
>"See anon? That's the type of guy you should be going after."
>"What for? Just because he's in scrubs? Are you serious?"
>"He probably has money."
>"So? He's ugly and not my type."
>"But people grow to love each other anon!"
I eyeroll at her, my aunt cracks up because she thinks this is a huge joke when my mom is being dead ass serious. We continue walking. Further up the street. Out pops these two early 20s dudebros who look like they're interning at the local mayoral building. One looks like a goofball because his suit isn't tailored and clearly has no good sense for how he looks.
>"What about those boys? Hm, anon?"
>"Mom, they look like they're still in college and didn't get mommy to dress them today."
>"They have something going for them, like money! You won't be happy being with someone with a spoon and an apron."
By "spoon and an apron" she's referring to the guy I told her I was interested in going steady with, who works in a kitchen. Heaven forbid.
Of course there's nothing to indicate that the baldy in scrubs nor the frumpsuit boy had any kind of money or status based on their appearances. It's all bullshit she makes up in her mind! Anything to prove I'm some ignorant young dumbshit who hasn't wisened up to the view that I have to slob some suited man's knob to eek out a comfortable life for myself.
She's so hypocritical too.
I have advanced degrees, and admittedly, while I don't have a great career now I can reasonably assume I may have something secured in the future.
She always tells me "Don't rely financially on a man," but then nitpicks any guy I find interest in who doesn't slaughter the bank with his riches. Well, if I'm to be so financially independent, what does it fucking matter what my partner's income is so long as he contributes and isn't a user? Rich men can be tight asses and ungrateful dicks too.But I guess I'd turn a blind eye to those abuses because money???
Secondly, she has no credibility. If I'm to use her words against her, then she's made the "mistake" of marrying out of love not once, not twice, but THREE times. Not even my stepdad, whom I love dearly, is a rich man. He's an idiot with money, probably the worst of the bunch.
Yet she stays with him. Why? Because he's not a prick. Because he contributes by having other skills. Because he was great to me even though I'm not his biological child.
For as much as she bitches about the financial situation, she'll never leave him and she knows damn well why.
Lastly, no rich boy is gonna fuck with me.
It was a great point some anons brought up in the vent thread: Those rich boys are gonna marry within their social class because even they have mommies who are also telling them the same shit about not marrying down. And I'm not bombshell hot enough to be a trophy wife, so I can't screw my way into a hoity-toity living situation either. Not that I'd want to without being actually attracted and in love to begin with.
I have a mind to call her out on every single thing I've just typed out. Yet because she's a loud-mouthed, stubborn blowhard she'll just talk over and argue against me until she smugly stonewalls me. She's never gonna respect my beliefs. She'll believe she's right no matter what, and the second she gets wind of any kind of strife related to finances (as if it doesn't happen in every relationship), it will only serve as affirmation to her confirmation bias that she's a smart old bitch and I'm just a foolish widdle girl.
I. will. not. win. this,
I'm so angry.

Most women are either splitting or completely supporting the man. Rich men even still want the woman's money, house, time. The idea of being a trophy wife is so unattainable in 2018.
Never mind dating itself, which is full of timewasters and fuckboys.

My mom says the same thing to me all the time to find a rich man but my mom is without a doubt, 100% abusive and a greedy bitch. I'd much rather have a mom who tells me she'll support me and whoever I happen to fall in love with if it's right, rich or poor.

Besides, even if I manage to escape the situation, it doesn't change the fact that I was harassed and that I have to make concessions because of dogs some other people bought. They are quite literally reducing my freedom with their choices.

Here it does not happen at all, dog owners are minding their own business and probably don't want some random people befriending their dogs, for the pets safety. After all, it's easier to steal a dog, or break into a house if a dog trusts every idiot willing to pet them. I would love to pet some dogs but I would have to ask the owner and I do not do it as I know it might be harmful to the dog.

>>322884I can't really say that because after I split with my ex I moved my shit into their guest bedroom because I'm not in a position to afford living by myself. I try to make myself scarce as much as possible. I stay weekdays at my friends/the new guy's place for work so I don't have to commute as far away. Number one, to not wear out my welcome. Number two, so I won't have to be around her as much as humanly possible.
I care about her but I know she treats me toxic-like. The things she says and admits to are so hurtful, but she'll never change.
>>322916She's extremely out of touch, and I don't get the impression that she's ever had a clue about men.
She simply got lucky running into my stepdad, although she says horrible and critical things about him to me a lot.
I wish she wouldn't.
I wish she could just be happy for the comfortable life she's carved out for herself in older age. But nah.
Just to give a brief outline of her previous marriages (bear in mind she only confessed these disturbing details to me within the past couple years):
>1st marriageShe was 21 and she married one of her college professors, an opera director who was 39. She claims he was in complete financial control. She was married 7 years before she was confronted by one of his mistresses and was told he was cheating on her. Apparently, he divorced her after admitting it.
>2nd marriageTo my biological father when she was around 30. Their marriage lasted a solid 2 years before his serial cheating and him beating her forced her hand to divorce him.
I'm especially bitter she kept his physical abuse a secret because I was forced to see this man throughout my childhood where he would routinely neglect me. If the courts knew, if I knew, I might not have had to endure this heartbreak.
Maybe my mom is just projecting and is worried I'll make the same shit decisions. I'm not sure, but it's very hard for me to take any romantic advice she has seriously. She even confessed last week that she feels she might be bipolar. I didn't want to hear it. What child of a mentally fucked parent wouldn't be angry that they didn't get help if they suspected they had a problem…
>>322950She IS a major narc. I've posted certain situations in r/raisedbynarcissists a few years ago and many people confirmed.
None of my exes have ever liked my mother because of how critical and how obsessed with status and appearances she is (hence the rich man lectures all the time and being blown away by superficial appearances like scrubs or a suit lmao). You can either believe every single man I've ever dated was a monstrous manbaby like my recent ex, or that maybe my mom is the root of the problem sometimes.
Shit, I've barely begun figuring out what I want and who I am because my entire identity up until my mid-20s was based around her expectations of me. Bringing home a guy is like going into a job interview; I know 9 times out of 10 my mom will say she won't like who I'm into and to not get cozy because "There's better out there." Yeah, who though! And of course it always feels like a high key insult to me, because ha-ha, once again I picked a shitty guy because I have such shitty taste and don't know how to play in my own shitty life~
I haven't brought home "spoon and apron" man yet, because I know she won't like him. The second he tells her he doesn't have a college degree and has a beater car she'll immediately dismiss my seriousness and bring up how I should ditch him every time. Which echoes what she says about my current stepdad, because whenever he fucks up in her eyes she prattles about "trading him in for a new model."
The worst in this is, nobody sees this shit about my mom. Well, except for my exes I guess.
To most people my mom is a polite, well-meaning lady with a work ethic who–at worst–is a bit opinionated.
Can anyone tell me what it's like to have a mother who's got healthy emotions and personality? I want to know what it's like.

Normal people don't spend inordinate amounts of time complaining about domestic animals they don't like.

As for the card/cash thing, you're absolutely able to pay with a credit card in multiple places in Tokyo, especially Akihabara, Shibuya and Harajuku which are the worst tourist traps in the city and the places she will most likely visit.

Recently my friend group has added a new edition while I was away at my internship. It wouldn't be a big deal except for the fact that they are all into fashion, makeup and just overall how they appear to the world and she is the opposite in everyway.
Yesterday we were all going to a party, and nobody told this pour girl to dress up. Since they all gathered at my house I offered to do her makeup and even through she was too big for most of my clothes, I could at least acessorize her a bit and let her borrow some heels. One of the girls I'm not really close to in the group told me not to, when I responded why she simply said.

Sorry for the autistic long vent but I found it annoying and I feel like it fits your example.
I offhanded mentioned some shit about tattoos related to a cow's post. I put my foot in my mouth I guess when I used a bunch of deadbeats I used to know as an example. All of a sudden there was crazies acting like I'd said everyone with tattoos is scum and calling me classist. I didn't wanna infight, but I was trying to explain there's a stigma about tattooed people being trashy because the cow in question had said that dudes prefer tattooed women. I said it's more of a niche. One anon actually agreed that yeah it is, hence the reason it's called 'alternative'.
Then the crazy person after that comment just went full mental.
I was called a conservative and a fascist and I'm definitely not any of those things.
Something else that annoyed me is like, I get my post could have come across as judgmental towards alternative types but
1- I was just trying to make a point about certain stereotypes of them and the stigma. I threw in some personal distaste for mouth piercings which came off rude, but I honestly am a pretty open minded person.
2- The thread, hell, the entire site is based around kind of poking fun at trainwrecks. Some of these cows come from or are in low socio-economic homes or broke and it's normally free game, but there are all these holier than thou anons on their high horses acting like I'm the tattoo nazi who apparently hates poor people.
Anyway yeah, I hate the extremist mentality here sometimes.

People who make "well-meaning" comments about self-love and self-acceptance under makeup videos and IG posts just sound annoying and condescending. What's the point in telling random IG girls who wear coloured contacts, contour the shit out of their features or change them in other exaggerated ways that "it's sooo sad they aren't happy with their natural features" and "they should love themselves and their natural face more"? If it makes them happy to change their features, it's rude in a roundabout way and preachy to tell them what they should or shouldn't do to their own faces.
The irony is that many people who preach this form of full self-acceptance wear noticeable makeup and dyed hair in their own pictures too, even though there's hardly any difference between some eyeshadow/eyeliner and putting on a pair of grey contacts. Why is the first one acceptable but the other one is criticized and considered as a lack of self-acceptance? They're just being hypocrites.

>>327328Adding to this, it's weird how some people will be chill with something with one cow and it's different for another. I have a theory it's because they see themselves in the cow and get defensive.
Another longwinded example sorry-
People (like everyone basically) always laugh at Shreg's shitty anime posters and used to tease his badly furnished manchild home, however once after pointing out that Raven's house was immaturely furnished for someone of her age,(stranger things posters, huge amounts of toys) I got replies like:
'you fussy loser'
'let people fucking furnish the place they want.'
'It's not better homes and gardens'
Like automatically they assume I am a judgemental suburban housewife with no scrap of nostalgic items anywhere in my house. I wasn't hating on people for having childish/nostalgic/pop culture themes in their houses, I have a few things like that around my own house, it was more about someone her age, jobless and married to a child still buying figurines and posters and shit when she literally doesn't have the money for it.
Like sure, be 40 years old and have an anime/whatever fandom themed house, good for you, but I wouldn't be criticising a person like that if they were nice or paid for their own lifestyle. If you are an adult and wanna be eccentric, if you work for your lifestyle and don't act snowflakey when it comes to your aesthetic, live however you want. I'm criticising the cows, and people get butthurt and think I'm generalising or talking about them when I am talking about people who value their aesthetics over being practical. I had to dye my hair back to a natural colour when I moved jobs (I did) and I know a girl who refuses to take any job because 3 workplaces so far have told her she can't have her facial piercings. This same girl complains about not being hired. Yet complaining about this behaviour
triggers people.
I get being maybe pissed off about me if you think it's derailing, but report it or just say 'yo that's kind of offtopic' instead of just screeching that I'm insulting everyone's home decor/fashion choices in a playful bitchy comment meant to be directed at the cow.
Anyway, I'm sorry if this should have gone in the vent thread but it IS annoying so I wasn't sure. I'm going to stop sperging now though, sorry!

This is like a stupid/weird pet peeve but in a group setting I think "fun facts" you have to present about yourself should just be lighthearted and irreverent. I had to do this on the first day of class and I picked something dumb like "I share a birthday with x celebrity" cause I don't think my classmates need to know a lot about myself as a person and then all the other students mentioned awards or certifications they had or big life achievements as their fun fact and it just comes across as bragging.

She kept insisting I must be a lesbian, that it must have been a mistake, and I assured her no, that was not the case.

You do attract many creeps when you're short.

This specific ad on YouTube boiled my piss, with some girl giving a monologue about how she believes perfection isn't about living up to beauty standards, but instead "being different to everyone else" and goes on to sing some crap song about how beauty comes from within. It's an unflattering screencap but the girl has perfect skin, perfectly made up youthful face and hair etc and is the fashionably acceptable level of 'plus size'. She literally is the beauty standard of 2018.

>it's never appropriate to wear ripped jeans to work
>I didn't know "high school" was a style anyone sought after…

Advice Thread 2: Electric Boogaloo
early/mid 20s, wears children's dresses
>who cares lol you're probably saving a ton of money.
>i don't see the problem as long as it doesn't look like children's clothes.
>i think having rules about this would be strange though.
>the dress is definitely cute. tbh i still shop in the kids and teens section despite being in my mid 20s too.
>How are you retarded for that? If you don't fit in adult clothes, then you don't fit in them. There's tons of pieces in the childrens section that a woman could wear
>I guarantee you nobody would be able to guess that's from the children's section unless they were a Uniqlo worker themselves and knew the clothing lol. Like other anons in this thread, I buy clothes from the men's and little boy's section all the time. If it fits and looks nice on you, who the hell cares? Rock that shit.
I highly doubt your coworkers are gonna give a shit whether the long(!) jeans you are wearing are a tiny bit distressed. Wearing literal childrens clothing however - no matter how sm0l you might be - is bound to look off on an adult shaped body.
Again: long jeans on a young woman working in a lab is appropriate. Wearing (probably way too short) children's clothes is not.
I suspect it's because of the high rate of weebs here thinking: in Japan showing cleavage = slutty, wearing skirts so short that you're ass is nearly showing = okay!
>hurrduur wearing something comfy is for teens and therefore inappropriate for everybody over the age of 18
>these dresses are totally not too short or childish, so cute!!!
70 year old women wear jeans and tshirts too, doesn't mean they're imitating high schoolers. Not everybody is into wearing stuff that resembles a school uniform/j-fashion. Not everybody gives a shit about looking "feminine" in their day to day working life. If your workplace doesn't have a dress code, as long as you're covered up (which jeans do) it's completely okay.
This reminds me of the posters on cgl shitting on all the "normie" women for not dressing as elegantly as they do lol.
No. 336654
>>336649I don't agree, some people are just short and dressing kids up as mini-adults is a thing so it works out. You wouldn't think a midget is trying to be uguu kawaii for buying clothes that fit them in "adult" colours.
I don't give a fuck what someone wears as long as they can make it look good, but the Female Fashion Advice crowd is full of frumpy, fat 30-somethings who want to look like feminist!witchy!FrenchGirl!Princess Leias which clearly nets bad results. In the same vein, the fashion thread on /g/ is full of art hoes and quirky YesStyle girls who gave up lolita.

It's ridiculous how so many of you here seem to think of that as abnormal looking. Also, funny how you use "casual" as an insult. Normal people do dress casually, unless there's a special occasion, you know?

Continue pushing your own bizarre fetishization of children, obsession with aging (or lack thereof) and latent pedophilia on anything that looks cute. That sounds healthy, and not like actual tranny tier sickness and sexual illness at all. I bet you're one of the same spergs having breakdowns over Ariana Grande being short and throwing the term "anachan" at anyone that's smaller than you.

The humor is when someone thinks their lack of effort, poor eye for fitting and bad taste still somehow constitutes a "look" worthy of sharing with the world.
That's the point of the whole thread. Trainwrecks and bad looks.

IRL, I either get left alone whether I'm in "alt" clothes, or I get stopped and sincerely called cute/stylish/beautiful by strangers. Let farmers tell it, I and anyone who dresses vaguely like me looks like a haggard ageplayer pastel clown weeaboo autistic horse girl trannie ddlger who is mocked and scorned as a degenerate outcast by all sane folk. I imagine similar is true for anons who dress very "basic" or effortless, even if their jeans are ripped and some farmer insists that's an awful faux pas.

>Are you mad because you don't fit into jfashion or what?I honestly think that's exactly it. There is literally no other reason to be that bothered about something like Jfashion besides sour grapes. They can make up fake woke "Think of the children, ur all the same as trannies!!1" arguments and say "Umm dress your age sweaty" all day, but it's clear as day what's really going on.

I'm sorry if you had a weeby Jfashion phase, wasted all your money on things you couldn't pull off and are now bitter, but stop taking it out on everyone else and projecting your own embarrassing behaviors. It's cringy, and anyone who's actually mature doesn't give a fuck about any of this.

And that Brittany Venti is an avid lolcow user. Seeing them post Brittany Venti's ~exposé~ of Anisa which I honestly couldn't get through more than 20 minutes of and say how amazing it was I'm just… confused. In her video she thinks it's just soooo milky that she tries to be positive in her videos and made a video about how she does her eyebrows that her subscribers requested even though she is not an expert.

On another note, Brittany Venti is definitely a farmer, and she's so gross, lmao. She did this same ~*expose*~ shit with Shuwu, too, despite the fact that she's just a fatter, wide-nosed, more racist version of her. It's crazy how she focuses solely on other female streamers/YouTubers to do these "takedowns" on. She's just as (if not even more of) a cow/flake as them, and is "guilty" of all the same shit they do, so I gather that she does this sort of thing out of jealousy, and in hopes of siphoning more neckbeards to her channel by using their names.
But, some anons are just so happy that a YouTuber is shitting on this or that bitch they hate, they'll doggedly defend them. I saw one anon even call her "famous". It's wild.

People really freak out and start taking note that you might just really prefer water? It becomes a topic every half hour where you have to awkwardly curb the same insidtung phrases before they give up, some time goes by and repeat!
I hate the culture around alcohol and how people tend to change really drastically when drunk and dont seem to notice it. Theres violence, people get too emotional and wreckless in the most obnoxious way possible. I hate it and my tolerance has always been decent plus I don't relate to alcohol making me sad, angry, pumped up, without inhibition etc at best I was just warm, had some energy and was alittle unsteady on my feet sometimes, but never to a point where I would shamble down the street either omw home.

I hate how I'm expected to hug people at social gatherings just because I'm a woman, while my brothers get away with just handshakes. I just feel uncomfortable and awkward hugging people that I'm not really close with. Sure I'll hug someone back if they initiate it, but if I can get away with not doing it then I'll take the opportunity to keep my distance, even if it makes me seem rude.
We had my mom's husband's family over for Christmas, and there were two people that had problems with mobility (due to old age and disability), so I would've had to be the one to initiate a hug. I don't dislike either of them but they're definitely not on my "familiar enough to hug without feeling awkward as hell"-list, so I didn't. When the other person was leaving with his wife, my mom tried to discreetly push me towards him so that I would give him a hug, but I stayed back. Instead of taking the hint and just dropping it, my mom said to out loud "normally we HUG people but they're already leaving, so…", embarrassing me in front of them.
I know for a fact that she would never try to force my brothers to hug anyone if they didn't want to. I don't know why she still tries to do that with me, I've clearly disliked hugging guests since I was a kid.

that said, i hate when parents bring their children to bars later at night. one time my husband and i were on a date at around 9:30 and this couple had brought their toddler with them, allowing him to run around behind the bar a few times until he hurt himself and cried. if you can't afford to pay a little extra for someone to watch him, don't go to a 40+ per person bar, go to applebees or somewhere.

Like anons already mentioned, being goaded into drinking when you've already established that you don't drink is so fucking annoying.
It's reached the point where every single gathering with my friends I'm asked if I still don't drink, have them insist I try just a bit of theirs, and even have some put vodka and shit in my drinks while I wasn't looking.

>>345480I totally agree and I think it goes much deeper than just the whole gender/sexuality thing. I never understood the whole clique thing in school. I don't want to sound cliche but I always made it a point to not limit myself to one group…not because of some beliefs I had, but because I was awkward and I didn't know who I was. Obviously it doesn't apply when you're 30 as much but it still happens.
Humans have this instinctual behavior of labeling and categorizing things. It's like our brains are hardwired to do this. And it's great in certain instances but it's become insane. A lot of people probably wouldn't do it if it wasn't reinforced by TV and movies. How many high school movies have you seen where they reinforce the clique stereotypes?
Labels are limiting and pointless. I mean yeah it's okay if you want to call yourself something but then many fear admitting they do something unlike that group they identify with. This is the reason why people have made up all these fucking genders. Since humans have this instinct to label and group things, they think when someone acts outside the norm this also needs to be labelled and grouped as some totally different thing. It's a serious biological flaw of us being a tribal/hierarchical species.
It's okay to wear all black and listen to NSYNC. It's okay to be a man and wear makeup and dresses. The coolest thing a person can be is themselves.
I feel like this sound so cliche and pretentious lol. whatever No. 345507
>>345487Yeah, our brains have this urge to categorize in order to create a sense of safety in artificially lessening the "unknown" factor. If there's a label, it's not scary and unfamiliar anymore.
However, it is possible to override that urge to an extent and I think it's entirely worthwhile to make an effort to do so. It saves you all the anxiety, confusion, and ignorance when reality doesn't turn out to be the way your little categories dictate.
I find sex posi, rampant LGBTQABCS+, body posi etc to be platitudes and just a half-assed way to get people to conform to
these other categories instead of truly liberating them by not policing their behavior in any way outside of preventing harm to others.

Seeing all this fixation on gender labels right now being praised as "revolutionary" or whatever makes me feel so hopeless when I then think about the rise of genderbending in the 80s-90s. What was the point in those people withstanding hate to make such statements about adrogyny when the media is now acting like kids today are the first people to ever put a skirt on a boy and almost going backwards in building divisions between people. It seems every generation of youth has some kind of "everyone is valid" movement but it just resets with the next generation when they change all the perimeters of us vs them. Do people really want everyone to be free to live their lives freely or are they just trying to be the most different.
Today's gender obsession is turning me into a nihilist.

I was just trying to say that the propaganda about ~poor defenseless trans women~ is outrageous.

No. 345555
>>345547Honestly it's not that crazy to me. This probably will sound batshit/tinfoil but hear me out. Women have obviously been seen for millennia as less-than but also carers. So the feminist movement was hijacked (probably subconsciously) by trans and other groups because women are so loving, caring, accepting! How could you, as a woman, not care about this poor suffering person!!!!
It's fucking sexist! Feminism is about WOMEN. That's it. It's not an organization that all oppressed/mistreated people in the world can jump onto. The American Cancer Society is about CANCER. Surely they care about people with schizophrenia but they would never tolerate schizophrenics hijacking it and demanding it be about all illness sufferers in the entire fucking world lol. Kind of a bad example but that's how this feels to me.
Lots of feminists care about all sorts of worldwide issues, but feminism specifically is for women. Get your own damn movement.

>>345487>>345480What's even funnier is when you don't fit stereotypes and people accuse you of being "fake" because they can't pigeon-hole you into the stereotype they want you to fill. Everything you do suddenly becomes offensive to them.
I spent a long time locked away from people because they made me feel ashamed to like certain things or wear certain clothes. I got so depressed and started looking everywhere for acceptance and wondering if I was this thing or that. Those were some very dark years in my life. I've finally accepted myself and do whatever the fuck I want. I really wish all these kids getting bullied into becoming "trans" had good resources and/or stronger people in their lives to encourage them to accept themselves and stop them from mutilating their bodies to fit stereotypes.

I honestly feel so bad for the daughter I sometimes just want to take custody of her, I don't think the boyfriend's mom takes good care of the daughter either.

I have been feeling lonely and met some people from my city via net, only to be annoyed with most of them.
First one gets too clingy to people - has been sending me screens from twitter, sends them nudes after first meeting, says how the said guy is perfect and then is sad/angry whenever they don't reply or delete tinder.
When one guy she liked told her she shouldn't get clingy this fast, I did say he's right and then she's got mad. Also this kind of people overall, who start calling you friend/bestie even if you barely know each other ffs.
Second person keep sending me walls of text about them playing games/stuff they're doing atm even if they know I've got last month of semester and many projects to finish. I have very hard time to focus on things and at this point hearing messages on messenger.
I know it's not a big deal, yet telling someone I gotta go/telling goodnights because I need to wake up early and right after hearing constant notifications from app makes me want to delete fb.
I feel so drained, if I cut them out at least for a bit I will probably get called a bitch and how they believed we're friends and so.

Head patting is a shitty fucking meme, or whatever it is. Every time someone mentions it or posts pics of anime girls getting head pats, all I can think of is greasy lolicons, tryhard weeb thots and troons. It just reeks of infantilization. It doesn't even feel nice, it's just annoying and messes up/flattens your hair (my autistic weeb ex tried to do it to me sometimes, I just got irritated. I spent time washing my hair and trying to give it volume, only for you to smush it back down and get your hand oils all over it? Just because you want me to react by squealing and blushing like some cartoon chick? Fuck off with that bs)

>>345694This is my older (half) sister to a T. Are we related anon? She visited for Christmas and would refuse all the healthy snacks I had prepared because her son "wouldn't like it" but wouldn't even offer any of it to him. Instead she'd run to the corner store to get him cheetos as a meal. We went out to a restaurant and she ordered him a piece of corn bread that he had a fantastic time crumbling up with his hands and throwing the crumbs everywhere. When the waitress came with a broom to clean the mess out of the aisle and from other tables, my sister snarks at her "I was going to clean it up." She wasn't. Her husband was absolutely mortified but said nothing because he'd never hear the end of "you're just trying to control me, you misogynist" from my sister if he did. My house was an absolute disaster after she and her little Taz left and he gave us all the flu.
On the other hand, she told all of us not to get her other son (10, from a former marriage who lives with his dad) any presents because she's mad at him. She also re-gifted her current husband's daughter's presents because the girl won't call her "mommy". I got presents for both of these kids and mailed them to their respective parents because my sister's stupid vendetta shouldn't ruin their Christmas. She is trash.

>>320372Why do men feel the need to pull me aside and comment on my appearance? Or mid-conversation, one of my male friends who's been squinting for a while finally blurts out something to the line of, "Why don't you ever wear makeup?" On those off-days I do decide to wear it, "You look sick," or "Why are you wearing makeup? It looks silly on you." Those are the nice ways of putting it. When I was muscular, I was told I looked manly and "If I wanted a man, I'd date one." When I was heavy, "I could lose a few pounds." Now that I'm a healthy BMI, but rather skinny, "You need to eat a burger."
No matter what a woman does, it's never good enough. I'm fucking tired of it. My personality is "too butch," but when I show my vulnerable side, I'm told I need to "grow a thicker skin" and need to be "confident in myself." I am confident in my abilities, I make a decent team leader, but then I'm told I'm "bossy" and "a bitch." One of these guys who told me I needed to be more confident (because he doesn't like it when women put him on a pedestal), was also the same motherfucker that told me he wants me to be jealous and chase after him while he flirts with other women. There's tons of little behaviors and hypocrisies like this that just piss me off about men.
Women always have to walk out of the house like fucking models, or risk berating, but men can go out looking like gorillas in mustard stained shirts (and still feel entitled that women meet their specifications).
This isn't build-a-bitch workshop. I'm a goddamned person, not a sex doll with swappable parts. You don't get to pick what hair color I have, the amount of body hair I was born with, the size of my breasts/hips, etc. Stop fucking commenting on what you wish I had and how it would "make me better." Especially on things I, and other women do not control. My life does not revolve around changing myself to live as this caricature in your fantasies. Love is accepting someone as they are. When I'm attracted to someone; I'm infatuated by all of their features, even the not-so-glamorous ones. It's hard to believe that men are practically incapable of this. He has to want to slather himself all over a woman sexually, before he'll even consider getting to know her.
I'm so fucking glad I'm asexual. I feel for straight women. I can't count the number of abuse stories I've heard from the relationship thread here on lolcow, reddit, coworkers, students, friends, even my mother and relative's marriages. Why are scrots so entitled and atrocious?

My high school best friend is deciding to put herself in large debt for 30 years paying off a home loan for a house she really has no use for in the bumfuck nowhere country area we grew up in, with a shitty server job in a town with no prospects.
I would understand even a little if she was planning for kids or had a major career or even was just a little older, but we are both only 20 years old, and she's convinced herself she doesn't care that she will never experience anything different from what her life has been so far.
But its like she knows its not a smart idea (house prices in my country are dropping after a ENORMOUS inflation, but they're not that much different right now) because whenever its brought up, she brings up dumb excuses, tries to guilt me with her family shit i was literally around for, or changes the subject clumsily. I feel like we're growing apart majorly cause shes just not interested in anything but an asspatting echo chamber.

I don't know why your peanut brain can't comprehend things on a larger level other than your personal surroundings and happiness.

Jesus christ this makes me fucking sick. This is why all those "teehee lewd ahegao hentai desu~"-memes and trends need to fucking stop. People treat hentai and ecchi as just some ~le quirky funny anime meymey~, instead of actual PORN for ADULTS, and it's so normalized and acceptable to flaunt it everywhere, even in places and platforms where actual fucking kids will be exposed to it. It would be seen as really weird if someone would mimic live action porn on TikTok or similar platforms, or used porn screenshots as a profile picture, or wore shirts with porn actresses faces on them. But exposing everyone (including CHILDREN) to your fetishes suddenly because acceptable as long as it's 2D? I'm fucking revolted.

This is something that's been really annoying me lately. I'll just give my example since it'll be easier than trying to explain vaguely. I joined a Mob psycho 100 discord off Tumblr (never doing that again) because I just finished catching up with it and at first it seemed fine, the rules were a little weird but I was okay with following them. I'm in there a day and half, I break two "rules" that weren't even listed (I posted a meme without giving credit to the original creator and I tried to add to a convo that was happening in general but I guess I needed to bring up the topic in a different one idk) and they got all passive aggressive with me for no reason. Calling me "sweetie" and saying these things are common sense. They key spam, censor words that aren't even offensive, and are just generally really annoying. I chalked it up to them being younger than me but I looked at some of their intros and saw some were my age (I'm 18) and the youngest being 15. I guess I don't fit in with those kind of people.
Anyway, I just think it's so weird how communities like stan Twitter/Tumblr/just young teen girls in general online are really passive aggressive and just nasty to people to seem funny or cool. I guess cause a lot of them are my age or younger is annoying too, I never have acted the way these girls do, and I find it so obnoxious. I wonder how they act in the real world. Okay rant over.

I can't be the only one right? I'm gonna preface by saying i am rarely if ever represented as a minority on TV, i'm far from a person that could be considered a """white hettie uwu""" with a perfect model body and all that.
I've never given a damn all my life about what movies or cartoons like like me or act like me, and it's really hard for me to understand why someone could watch a show because "Wow! Finally an xyz character on a big movie", i don't care about representation or inclusivity. I am especially annoyed about people that throw entire bitch fits because there isn't a gay, trans, "Poc", or non american in a show. Most of my friends act like this and i don't get it. Why the fuck do people care so much? Are they really that spergy to go apeshit when they don't see drawings that look like them? I don't sit here crying because the new hottest hollywood movie didn't include my exotic ethnicity or some shit, but i try to get excited, i really do.
People will shit on a perfectly good series because it doesn't have muh gays or muh poc. Why? Don't they have anything better to do? Will sending people death threats and harassing them over not including people like you REALLY win them over?
No. 385353
>>385348People have tied their own identities to consumerism without being aware of it.
The media they consume becomes a part of them and their identity, which is why I think so many people feverishly defend subpar cash grabs (99% of movies/media) because it feels like they have a personal stake in it (their own sense of identity or ego).
Instead of cultivating hobbies in which you actually have to create, people tend to go for the easier route and have hobbies in which you consume. So instead of getting to say "I'm a writer" and thus have some of your personality or identity expressed through that, you say "I love movies/dramas/video games/anime" and thus have to express your personality or identity THROUGH the media you pick (ie. I only watch comedies so I'm a laid back/funny person, someone who loves romance movies are seen to be naive and romantic etc).
Hollywood knows that race and sex are just another thing people use for identity, so it's just another thing to convince people to relate to.
No. 385365
>>385353ntayrt but your answer is very interesting (especially the consumption vs productive hobbies bit). I do think people are convinced liking a show etc is a personality trait and the more of a fan you are the more you have a personality instead of realising how hollow a self is that's entirely built around media, but I'm convinced the being a baby about representation is just a way to collect oppression points and seem like a person with superior awareness.
in fact I think extreme sjw ideology is as much something that people grab to define themselves when they feel like a husk, they act and speak exactly like the other sjws in the exact way those superwholock people were all the same.
No. 385450
>>385348I agree. I’m a fairly unusual ethnic minority (at least, unusual in the places where I live) and the children of immigrants and I always looked different from the blonde blue eyed kids in my school but I never gave a rat’s ass about ~representation~
I consume all sorts of media that have tons of different perspectives: men, women, young, old, gay, straight, etc. I don’t need a character to have my ethnicity in order for me to relate to them. In fact I’d rather media characters not be from the same country that my family is from because ironically most people who come from there DON’T look like us, and we don’t celebrate the extremely dominant religion there either, which is a pretty big part of the culture.
I really despise the assumption that if you’re any kind of minority/not white, then you have to love any story that features non white people because muh diversity. Like I’m not gonna watch Black Panther or Fresh Prince of Bel-Air or whatever solely because it’s ‘POC representation uwu’, I’m not black so why would it be inspiring or relatable to me? I’ll watch it if it seems interesting to me regardless of the race of the main cast, I’m here for entertainment not preachy liberal bullshit.
And it’s weird to lump in every single non white person as one monolith when there’s so many different cultures. Imagine telling someone from Italy that they should watch a Finnish movie because “omg they’re European just like you isn’t that so great and inclusive?”
No. 385466
>>385348It's a combination between American identity politics, self-centredness/
victim complex, popularity of social media, outrage culture and internet slacktivism. I find this obsession with diversity and representation in books and tv shows annoying, too. What I don't get is why they expect filmmakers and authors who aren't, let's say, homosexual to include homosexual characters in their stories. Creators have been criticised for not portraying a minority character authentically enough or too stereotypically and I just think, these people should tell their own personal stories about their own minority status because they know best instead of tweeting angry rants at the companies and demanding better representation.
No. 385475
>>385348I have a weird spin on this: I'm a white het cis woman and I'm still disappointed by representation of those things because whats "pretty" in media is STILL the opposite of what I look like. The only relevant celeb girl I can relate to is Brie Larsen but everyone currently hates her bc she isnt ScarJo in terms of hot superhero women.

No. 385476
>>385348It's great that you don't care that you've never related to a character but I've heard from so many friends about how when they kids they wanted to be white blondes because nobody cool on tv looked like them, and how when playing games they would be made to play "the ugly one" even if that character wasn't even the same minority as them. I also do think that even though adults should understand the difference between tv and irl, if a certain stereotype is always applied to a race or whatever on tv, that's going to have bad effect. It's the same as how seeing women only in homemaker roles has proven to be detrimental to the aspirations of young girls.
Of course I think there's a difference between actively challenging the status quo versus just shoehorning in a rainbow of pc characters into every piece of media. I hope to live in a world oneday where a story set in medieval Sweden doesn't need a token blackwashed guy, because normal TV shows will have enough fair representation that we don't need to aggressively cram out where it doesn't fit.

>>385348I'm kind of the same way, I usually don't give a shit, but I'm not represented at all in most media that's not made in some specific countries and most of the time, my ethnic minority is horribly represented in media and we're supposed to be thankful for that because hey, all the characters from your ethnicity are thugs or savages, but at least they're (supposedly) funny!!1!1 And the female characters get to suck white men's dicks instead of the guys from their ethnic group so they're not oppressed anymore and that's progressive!!11!
Then again in my country most of our pop culture is shit in the first place. I'm ok with being "represented" as long as it's not insulting, otherwise I'd rather not be represented at all. I mostly care about American and Japanese shows, books and music so I barely see trash like this anymore nowadays.

>>385476yeah and even I as a white passing fair-haired person wanted to be blonde and blue eyed as a child because of cartoon characters that I liked, I don't think this is a race thing as much as children liking to emulate /imitate their favorite characters (at some point I genuinely wanted blue hair and skin because of one fairy Barbie I had lmao).
90% percent of adults whining over muh representation are insincere and attention seeking and the 10% who have not parted after childhood with this wanting to be something theyre not bc of media have their parents to blame I think, people would do way more good teaching their children to like whichever appearance they have rather than sperging over the absence of token nonwhite characters.

>>385476I appreciate this response simply because you didn't immediately jump to the "You hate yourself!" argument that usually gets thrown at me. I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to children (I probably didn't care as a child either because i played a lot of RPGs, i could simply make an alternate persona tailored to my mood at will) so i instead prefer to focus on adults that spend all day on twitter REEEing that the new hottest netflix show isn't inclusive enough. Challenging backwards status quo is nice, but does that series genuinely want to challenge shit ideals, or was it made as a cash grab for an audience that is obviously desperate? I think it's necessary to exercise caution to make sure your money and attention are going towards people that care.

it's even more pointless to measure irl idol singers who aren't professionally modeling and whose measurements don't really matter. most 48group girls don't even do gravure but they're measuring them as young as 13-14 years old and likely faking their measurements, the fact that they probably get measured and shamed on the regular isn't healthy at all
hell I see it as equally useless in western modeling when the measurements are always fabricated or outright lies. we get it, you want to promote that they're anachans, but we can see that with obvious anachans without giving measurements for irl model waifs
very few people have a naturally 20"-25" waist, no matter how "'naturally tiny" they are, shorter people with straight bodies are likelier to have bigger waists because there's no curvature to their shape

Different races have different bodies including bone structure, it's not some wild opinion… that's literally how we can tell they're a different race at a glance. Asians in particular get symptoms of obesity at lower weights, so it's likely they are just built smaller in general. And just from personal observation, they can get to lower weights than other races do without looking like unhealthy bony skeletors.
That's not to say they can't get fat, or that non asian people have an excuse for being fat, or that there isn't variety in natural body size within any race. It's just that their bodies seem to tolerate a low weight better than other races in general.

yes there are more fat people in the US, but skinny girls don't have a 20" waist or even a 24" ideal, unless you've got a very naturally flat stomach and exercise enough to keep it flat without any subcutaneous weight. my waist is 27" and maaaaybe was 25"-26" at its smallest when I was at a much more skelly weight, and I don't have a terrible bwh ratio (hips are like 35"?).
yeah people can pull the all Asian women are smaller card all they want but that's not true either, a 20"-24" waist isn't going to be common among most people because the spentacular golden bust waist hip ratio exaggerated on modeling profiles is a lie. even if Japan/Asia is a less fat nation and their women are "naturally thinner" I can guarantee most of the women aren't going to have 20" waists naturally, pretty much all 20" waist girls are anachans or celebrity anachans, and there's very few women who are blessed with the "golden" bwh ratio

Someone who's clearly non-white with maybe like 10-30% white ancestry would look very, very stupid and lost if they constantly called themselves white, so I don't know why the rules are different the other way around. It just strikes me as dumb and unequal.

>>401941NTA obviously but why are people who insist on singing loudly for attention all the time just the worst people on earth??? i had a girl like that in my last college course, we were in the workshop and bitch was literally fucking
belting off-key and this one asshole dude yelled “THIS ISN’T THE FUCKING SHOWER” and she completely ignored him like he didn’t even say anything and continued on. i about pissed my pants laughing but the dude was literally fuming.
my first encounter with people like this was in high school choir. half the sopranos were uppity uber-cunts who just HAD to show off their AmAZiNg SkiLLz, sometimes even when the instructor was speaking. that lady had the patience of a fucking saint, i could barely handle it myself. i count my lucky fucking stars that ariana grande was not well known at all back then so nobody was out here pathetically attempting her runs at 8000 decibels. i probably would’ve committed murder suicide.

>mfw listening to a 26 year old colleague's rant who says she could never date anyone under 25 because they're "too immature" while she has a DUI on her belt, gets absolutely shitfaced every other day and needs her friends to constantly check on her, make sure that she got an Uber instead of driving when she's drunk and even congratulate her for making her bed
I mean, I agree with the general sentiment of not wanting to date under a certain age, it's just quite ironic that she of all people would point out maturity, when she's one of the worst womanchildren I know. Hell, I'm 23 and I wouldn't date her because she's too immature for my standards.

>>403101A lot of MTF complain about that too. They say they relate to her struggle because they thought what Naoto wanted was just the body of a man because of her dungeon and the boss fight. They're often people who never played the game and just watch a few cutscenes on youtube and complain on resetera, because she says loud and clear at the end of her SL that she's proud of being a woman and that she'll work harder to get the career she wants despite being discriminated against. I never realised how delusional they are but they really think that being upset at being treated badly by others IS gender dysphoria by itself, so I guess that's why.
They will never relate to struggling with being treated like a drooling retard or an arrogant brat in their workplaces just because of their gender so they really shouldn't talk. The Aidens like complaining about Yosuke being a homophobic piece of shit these days.

This 17 year old girl that works with my husband is clearly obsessed with him and I’m frankly sick of it. Shes always texting him and apparently changes her schedule to work with him more. My husband is pretty repulsed, never texts her back and typically treats her the same he would any other coworker, according to a mutual friend who works there. But the other day she texted him asking if she could come over and smoke? And I’m like lmao no? Doesn’t she know you’re married and not to fuck with a marriage? Husband and I have talked about it, how weird it is and how uneasy I feel about it, and he has no intention following through because he’s very loyal and obviously, cheating in this situation would be illegal. He respects my feelings on it, but says he doesn’t know what to do other than ignore the texts, he doesn’t want to cause any drama at work. So, fine whatever, but I went into his work yesterday to pick something up he’d forgotten, and this nasty little runt keeps glaring at me and acting like I don’t even know my husband. Like bitch, were married ok? You’re a child, fuck off. She knows who I am and apparently asks a lot of questions about me, and it just makes me fucking sick to my stomach. Not really threatened but highly annoyed that I have to be nice because she’s a kid and probably doesn’t understand how relationships work.

>>404163Shiny colors has among the best art of the IM@S games.
Although a lot of the girls still have bad measurement syndrome and skelly weights I'm appreciative that they did feature a couple in this smaller group of girls who weren't skelly. Like this girl is 165 cm and 58 kg which is at least a healthy weight even if it all seems to go to her tits. There's another smaller idol who is 148 cm and 46 kg I think from shiny colors as well. There's a few Cinderella girls idols who are within the healthy range but is rare to see any over 50 kg whose weight reflects a normal / non skelly body type or size
I don't want to hate idol anime and games, I like quite a few of them… but sometimes the whole objectification and unhealthy attitude towards girls weights and measurements bothers me.

>>404216Headcanoning is fun when it's not about fucking political virtue signaling. Scrolling through tumblr for decent twitter icons is a pain in the ass, tumblr's edits are all that site is good for, that and the ability to archive liked posts, but that's pretty much where the usefulness ends.
Aside from the good icons, you have to scroll past badly photoshopped attempts to blackface the cast of anime series. The whole "making everyone black" edits make no sense to me, especially in the Hero Academia fandom when some of them don't have human colored skin in the first place (like Mina Ashido, why darken an alien girl with flamingo pink skin? Or the bird guy, Tokoyami?).

I think one of the reasons society is being held back is that vocabulary has taken more importance than action.
You can't say certain things, but what you do is always up for debate and defense. Social justice shit is always so performative, and it gives shitty people a way to gaslight and get away with things by learning to "talk the talk" or avoid certain phrasing.
That's why you can be "cancelled" for saying a slur on Twitter, but actual pedophiles, woman-beaters, rapists, racists, etc roam free in the public eye as long as they know how to be "civil". That's why pointing out obvious incidences of racism or sexism will get you a pack of baboon-level idiots trying to "debate" with you on how it's not really racist or sexist, that you're just "misunderstanding", or how it was a "mistake" that they're "growing and changing from" up until you can produce evidence of those involved outright saying "Fuck those (slur)s" or how much they hate women. And even then, they'll come up with an excuse.
Everyone has accepted that certain words are "bad", because it's way easier than dissecting our actual thoughts, actions and behaviors. I hate it. I'll take a hundred ignorant people not understanding the weight of certain words if it means they'll stop actually doing fucked up things.
Enough writing platitudes about how well you understand this or that word is bad, just do right by the people affected and move on with your life.

A surefire way to find out if someone is profoundly mentally disabled is if they make and/or defend these shitty edits.

Related to the fandom discourse and racebending I fucking hate that American SJWs dominate every nook and cranny of every fandom unless it's super obscure. I live on the other side of the fucking planet in a 99.9% white country, why the hell should I give a shit about American social politics that have nothing to do with the society I live in? Why should I be expected to live by them? Why should half of my original characters be black? I don't even speak English as my first language or even use it daily, I can't be expected to know all the nuanced language sensitivities! The worst thing is that the SJWs in my country have adapted the ideas of their American counterparts and now throw around awful anglicisms trying to police and whip people into ideas they don't even understand the context for. I just end up gravitating towards fandoms that are dominated by people not from the US and use social media only in my native language so that some crazy snowflake can't kick up a cancel campaign on my ass for slipping up and saying something ~problematic~.

No. 404304
>>404282I noticed something similar, especially with those words.
The most frequent ones I've seen are: "Destroy the narrative that….", "unpack", "black bodies", "queer bodies", "latinx", "safe spaces", "queer spaces", "women's spaces", "platform", "body positive", "sex positive", "policing", "shaming", "optics", "spread this like wildfire", "capitalism", "privilege", "diversity", "camab", "afab", etc.
These terms and phrases have practical uses (obviously), but they're also very often deliberately (mis)used to signal certain things in these circles. It loops back to what I mentioned before on talking the talk and enabling gaslighting. You don't even need to read books to pick up on this language, all you need is a Tumblr account, to follow some leftist blogs and you'll be able to talk like them and skinwalk in a matter of weeks. No one knows who "starts" it all, but it proliferates everywhere.
I want to call it wokespeak or something.
The author fails to mention that the right has a similar pattern, though, the most obvious being "white genocide", "Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, white countries for everybody?!", "diversity is code for anti-white", "replace us", "political correctness", "replacement rates", "meritocracy", "traditional values", "western civilization", "communism", "our people", "these people", "blacks", "Whites" (capital "w" is important), "NPC", "shill", "glow-in-the-dark CIA nigger", the infamous "14 words", "soyboy", "cucked", "clownworld", "based and redpilled", "bluepilled", etc. It gets so repetitive that they even have actual bots post their "mantras" in whatever comment section they want to disrupt, and they've been doing it for years.
My conclusion is that political dogma has become so heavily saturated by social media that participants don't even need to think anymore. They just repeat the same shit over and over to appease whatever audience they want. Just copy whatever has the most likes. It's almost dystopian.

Fujo sperg aside i'm sad that the bad art thread isn't as frequented anymore. I think after that one fakeboi got shit on for drawing crappy love live headcanons other people have been hiding their headcanons in tags better.

as hell didn't eat any fancy stuff.
Even natives of countries don't even eat their own country's authentic food every single day, it's more like 3 to 4 times a week, and that's out of like 21 meals.

It's not just younger folks that do this. Both of our families are not adventurous eaters so we have been on family trips to cool places where we were stuck eating generic Italian 3 nights in a row or gross Chinese Buffets.
