People who get upset that an actor doesn’t have the same eye color as the character they’re playing (infamous example: Daniel Radcliffe in the Harry Potter films) sound childish and dumb. They always argue that studios should "just give them contacts/cgi the eyes!“ but that seems so stupid? Colored contacts tend to look very fake/unsettling and can effect a person’s acting. Not to mention contacts irritate eyes and are very noticeable on screen (i.e. you can totally see the ring around Pennywise’s eyes in a clip from IT 2). And the cgi method is dumb because not only does it take a lot of time and money, but chances are it’ll still look fake/awful. Not saying it isn’t possible but it’s totally understandable why a filmmaker might dismiss the eye detail, especially when it’s not even important to the plot. I just hate how any time a new adaption comes out there’s always someone who’s like "uwu the actress doesn’t have blue eyes so it’s trash”. Grow up, it doesn’t matter. (sorry for sperg)
No. 444470
>>444416Thats exactly why Radcliffe didnt wear contacts, actually. I read once that they irritated his eyes way too much to function so they just let it go. Idk if it makes you feel better lol.
I agree though, cgi and/or contact lens cost money, time, mistakes. It really annoys me when cosplayers are bitched about for not matching a characters eye color, like…there are very legitimate reasons for them not to. Especially when lenses are 30-40 dollars a pair and expire in like a year or two.

Here's today's bitter pill to swallow:
People who go after "pedo artists" i.e. those who draw ship art of 16 year old fictional characters and chimp out over everything being loli or shota if the character is "child-coded" (i.e. have big eyes or petite build) are just
1.) creating a false sense of security out of fear because it brings them peace of mind to "be able" to point out predators and avoid them even though actual predators are manipulative enough to agree with everything you say and take advantage of your vulnerable side without you even noticing it.
2.) the predators themselves trying to cover their tracks.
3.) virtue signalers who don't give a shit about muh kids but are using pedo claims as a crutch trying to chase out people they don't like/have personal issues with instead of actually teaching the youth how to avoid being taken advantage of or calling out confirmed, dangerous IRL pedoforks because they're too chicken shit to take action.

No. 444733
>>444596I've noticed your average person who doesn't like at all or is very uncomfortable with this sort of art, anime or manga will just not consume any of it and will avoid it while not talking about it because they have other things to do and just don't think about it. Or they straight up report this sort of content to mods on social media or other websites,
which is the best thing to do imo. Whenever I see fucked up content on twitter I just silently report it, I deleted tumblr because there was too much of that shit there and reporting was useless.
The people who sperg about "muh underage fictional cartoon/anime/vidya characters" almost always nitpick and are way worse with irl teenagers or women in general or post completely degenerate contents themselves (furry shit or straight up bestiality mostly, sometimes guro, many are deranged transbians, etc.) and they try to cover that up by acting like they're paragons of purity.

It's like fakebois going on about how evil fujoshis are for "fetishizing" gay men but are literally fujoshis themselves doing the exact same thing.It makes it hard to take any of them seriously. I've known people who pull this purity act too but are still are out there liking very clearly sexualized figs of literal kid animu girls or posting questionable fanart "as a joke".

She doesn't do anything that milky anymore and just posts shitty photosets, that's boring and stale. I've actually grown sort of fond of her because she's one of the few thots that at least likes anime and games on a surface level at least.

>>444767I think the main way anime causes troons was through traps. Traps gave troons an unrealistic idea on how transition works.
It's unrealistic because many traps are designed with features that only appear in females. I heard an interesting theory the only reason traps pass as female is because of anime cliches. On average an adult women in an anime will have bigger eyes than an adult man. So if you watch enough anime 'big eyes' is subconsciously a female cliche. Traps also have big eyes, but they are male. It wouldn't be wrong of you after seeing big eyes to assume 'female' because of the cliche.
Traps are impossible transition goals because they are specificity female coded in design. Traps are given all the traits of women, but a penis is tacked on. Such a transition is impossible for troons because they are not made female coded like traps, they are made male coded.

Idk if you nerds will yell at me for this, and obviously hate-fuelled political rhetoric is the motivator for recent shootings, but I think video games can and do have a HUGE effect on teenage boys (and people in general) and I think they're motivators for violence and shootings in particular. People are always mocking the influence of video games being like some, "conservative Christian schoolmarm" silliness. Men and boys growing up with their minds steeped in weapons glorifying violence or just violence in general has to have a major effect on them, and I think they're ticking time bombs as a result. There's no reason why violent video games should be made. There's no justification to create and release anything violent (provided it isn't educational) to the public. The liability way outweighs the benefits/enjoyment.
I don't remember which, but there was a documentary I watched where they interviewed these (dumb) young men in the army and they were talking about the shock of the reality of war compared to the video games they played. The bloated bodies lying on the streets, the smell of death, and how the reality is nothing like they thought it would be. The image of war and of the army they'd had in their minds was based around CoD or Battlefield or whatever fps games. They literally said something to the effect of that the game was fun, they were good at it, and it inspired them.
I don't really care what the stupid 40 person surveys say about how video games don't inspire violence in men. People are really, really dumb and can't be trusted with violent media. I think films should be way less violent as well. There's no need for violence in media at all unless it's educational.
No. 445739
>>445730I agree, that's why I said there's no justification for any violent media (save for educational shit). People "liking it" isn't enough to justify it. And sure, but most parents have no idea who their children are or who they're on the path to become. Plenty of parents are shepherding them down the road of violence and aggression already. Obviously leaving everything up to the parents isn't good enough, and unless they're literal bubble children or stuck in an iron lung, they're still going to be exposed to violent media through other kids. And even if people seem to be able to separate reality from media, it doesn't mean it doesn't still impact them. I think it does. Just normalizing it at all, even if they still can recognize it's wrong, not appropriate, etc, is bad enough. It removes people from the horrors of reality by desensitizing them to it, depicting only part of it, putting it in a light that's almost "fun" because they get to participate in that destruction without ever having to think about the effects of it – just on to the next level, etc. There are films that explore why violence is horrifying, the effects of it, etc, and those can be okay, but most films and shows use violence as a gimmicky sideshow.

>>445726This is what Hideo Kojima's entire point was with the Metal Gear Solid game series: anti-nukes and anti-"video games making war look cool." There's one big monologue in MGS4 basically shaming the player for enjoying it and treating war like a game. Good shit, unfortunately the series is way too intensive and strategic for most little men who play Halo or CoD.
Anyways I agree with you, but in a way that I think boys play the wrong games and can't differentiate ANYTHING from reality and fiction, especially video games and porn. The brain capacity just doesnt seem to be there.

>>445726I'm a game developer and I fully agree with you. Games first of all cultivate a culture by virtue of their consumer demographic and the amount of dumb violence and poor writing for character motivations make it even worse. Media, even though people want to pretend it's not, is propaganda. It always has been, always will be. Media carries a message, even if your game is dumb shit like Duke Nukem, that is conveying a fucking message. I don't love video games enough to pretend they don't contribute to violence. Fellow developers need to understand the media we create serves as a cultural influencer and does work as a pseudo role model.

>>446027Mate China is constantly innovating and finding new sustainable solutions to old problems. Just last week they exported a shitton of electric buses to Chile and are using them themselves, they're building enormous solar farms and working to cut down on their carbon footprint, meanwhile the US is completely monopolised by oil companies like Exxon who knew about climate change since the 80s and did fuck all about it because as long as they could profit from their actions on time, they didn't care. They dug up streetcar rails in the 20s and made you completely dependent on cars and petrol, and your president is a stooge of the same ilk. Just because you have Whole Foods and your local vegan hippies recycle doesn't mean that you're any less to blame for it than the Chinese. If anything, it's the other way around. India is already seeing great impact from climate change, plastic and chemical pollution but most of its population is busy being poor and working in sweatshops your nation's companies outsource to in order to make ends meet.
The tragedy is, both of these sad ass governments are trying to do something about it unlike the US which even ships its rubbish overseas.

I'd be happy if there was some sort of law on drawing fetish fan-art. We've been letting freaks like Nemu run unchecked for too long.
It'd be good if, hypothetically, the artist had to personally contact the creator of the original work (or their "team" if they're very famous or busy), with their real name and photo attached, and ask for explicit permission to make whatever degenerate shit they want to create. They should have to give a detailed account of the fan art so they can't mislead the creators, either.
I've been assaulted with too much putrid shit when trying to look up innocent characters, even with safe search and other filters on. Cancelling the practice of kink-shaming and sexual inhibition has only caused problems to be honest.

I doubt there's an example. Why did you go with this dumb hyperbole when you were onto something with the stretch mark nitpicking? You could have drawn a comparison about how anons are insecure about their looks, and yet they go to the Moo thread to pick on her cellulite and puffy eyes, I mean you brought up stetchmarked titties.

People who bitch about immigrants speaking their own language need to sit down and mind their own damn business. I'm particularly talking about the U.S., Canada, and the UK here. My baby-boomer mom was whining the other day about some government documents being in English and Spanish, as if that's some sort of infringement on her rights. The fuck?
English is the third most difficult language to learn in the world, behind only Mandarin Chinese and Japanese. It takes years to become fluent in a language, and a lot of immigrants are coming from countries where they didn't have access to the necessary resources for studying English. Furthermore, language changes. I doubt the anglo-saxons were pleased when the Normans came in and mixed a bunch of French into Old English, but that's just life. Or hell, white Americans kicked indigenous tribes off their land, but their descendants now have the gall to bitch when people come here peacefully and all they're doing is speaking Spanish?
Mexico is one of our biggest trade partners and our next-door neighbor, and many parts of the U.S. used to be part of Mexico. Why the fuck isn't Spanish required in our schools? If Japanese schools require English, American schools should require Spanish. Also, remember how I said English is one of the hardest languages to learn? Well Spanish is one of the easiest because of how phonetic it is and how consistent its rules are. Is it that unreasonable to expect people to learn a language that's easy and is literally a part of U.S. history? Half the shit in my state is named after Spanish words.

Older people coming to western countries aren't in the same position of feeling superior and entitled. They don't get any special treatment for their race, quite the opposite, but are likely held back by their age (the older someone gets, the harder languages are to learn), poverty, lack of education, etc. Inability to communicate can be tough and isolating but at that age it can just be too hard for them.

For the most part you can't even convince them that this is the case because they will just screech "you've just been brainwashed by propaganda" as if the same doesn't apply to them.

Certain people used to say this exact phrase to me when I complained in high school. Then more and more college students started leaving because the country was incredibly corrupt and public services are shit, and after graduating many honest people can't find work because you needed to belong to a certain political party to get a job, and their diplomas were worthless abroad. I left too, because I also wasn't happy about it.
Now my country's population is mostly old, the youth that stayed either couldn't afford to leave or didn't want to because they just wanted to do drugs, fuck and have a baby at some point, all the good doctors have left and hospitals are filled with undereducated, underpaid charlatans, and the government keeps stealing money from taxpayers and public projects and telling them that all is okay and we're doing great because nobody is left to oppose them anymore.

I don't think many people would react positively if you wanted to lump their entire country into one specific person you wanna imagine them as and then shit on that.
However I do agree people need to chill the fuck out and learn to take criticism. Especially if your culture is being exported to the entire world and you're trying to play world leader. There's a lot that comes with it, it's not just economic power. Most Americans are too sheltered and indoctrinated by the state koolaid to understand why criticism is a good thing. It's no different than other militaristic states, they worship the concept of the country too much. The US is an extremely idealistic country and those ideals tend to cut really close to the heart of one's identity.
Anyway, shitting on any given country as part of discourse is extremely fruitless imo bc you're not changing someone's mind by telling them their country sucks. Their country is their life experience. It's a part of them.

I'm not saying that this is worse than what France did to Rwanda by any stretch, but that it proves that every nation state ever conceived on this earth has its own checkered history when it comes to ethnicity/nationality and colonialist mindsets. In-group out-group behavior always exists.

valid and which ones are meanie meanies.
No. 448200
>>448196It was not a battle between empires because it was a more developed economy undercutting and destroying a less developed economy.
It is like justifying the Opium War, turning hundreds of millions of people into dissolute drug addicts, and the looting and ransacking that occurred. All okay because it was a mean empire vs a mean empire, or okay because the British had a higher standard of living than the Chinese peasants. Even if the effect and intention were only to destroy the society so it could be permanently subjugated.
Imperialism destroys the social structures and supplants it with one purely favourable to the needs of the capitalist empires. It stole that wealth to fill museums and to melt down into raw materials for trade. It destroyed the foundation on which higher social development is achieved. Imperialism is STILL doing this because it is profitable and it's easy for the French to export stuff to them if they haven't got any industry, markets or currencies of their own.
Read about how many progressive, socialist African leaders like Sankara who just wanted to develop separate currencies and basic industries have been assassinated, for a start.

>>447954>the sami meme created by self-hating woke Finns to work some forced angle that we were actually evil colonizersYou do realize that the people committing the racial eugenics towards the sami were Swedish overlords and it barely happened in Finland to begin with? And that sami have been given multiple rights at their native lands but they just fight against each other because western samis from Norway (northern samis, the ones bitching in the media and which you call Lapps) came to Finland in the late 1800s, drove the native Finnish samis (inaris) away from their lands and started demanding rights over them? And that the native Finnish samis are like 300 in numbers so maybe that's why there isn't much representation? Finland has been independent for only 100 years and even after separating from Russia the country was still under a major Russian/Swedish rule for decades, but a lot of shit they've done has been pinned on Finns. I mean I'm all for preserving the inaribros but the Norwegian samis can fuck off with their whining lmao

Why aren't you mad at THEM?? This is ethnonationalism!! This is imperialism!! Same thing!!" whining.
Of course bad shit happened, but who do you know that is still suffering today chiefly
only as a direct result of those events,
not the past and continued poison of colonialism and imperialism? You probably can't even name or identify 6 distinct groups from either continent off the top off your head, let alone describe historical events between them and the weight of their aftereffects for comparison.
For just one example, do you really expect to convince everyone that Native American people would've been driven to near-nonexistence and made to live in reservations the same way they are now if Columbus and co hadn't decided to fuck them over and bring disease?
The biggest gag of all is that you're still demanding we care about your "wave of third world immigrants" on top of all this (which would actually be contradicting your own claims). Truly pathetic.

>>448222Nah, learn history.
>“The campaign against body hair on women originates in Darwin’s 1871 book Descent of Man, explains Herzig. Men of science obsessed over racial differences in hair type and growth (among other aspects of physical appearance), and as the press popularized these findings, the broader American public latched on. Darwin’s evolutionary theory transformed body hair into a question of competitive selection—so much so that hairiness was deeply pathologized. “Rooted in traditions of comparative racial anatomy, evolutionary thought solidified hair’s associations with ‘primitive’ ancestry and an atavistic return to earlier, ‘less developed’ forms,” Herzig writes. Post-Descent, hairiness became an issue of fitness.
>An important distinction in this evolutionary framework was that men were supposed to be hairy, and women were not. Scientists surmised that a clear distinction between the masculine and the feminine indicated “higher anthropological development” in a race. So, hairiness in women became indicative of deviance, and researchers set out to prove it. Herzig tells the story of an 1893 study of 271 cases of insanity in white women, which found that insane women had excessive facial hair more frequently than the sane. Their hairs were also “thicker and stiffer,” more closely resembling those of the “inferior races.” Havelock Ellis, the scholar of human sexuality, claimed that this type of hair growth in women was “linked to criminal violence, strong sexual instincts … [and] exceptional ‘animal vigor.’”
>By the early 1900s, unwanted hair was a significant source of discomfort for American women. They desired smooth, sanitized, white skin. They wanted to be feminine. “In a remarkably short time, body hair became disgusting to middle-class American women, its removal a way to separate oneself from cruder people, lower class and immigrant,” writes Herzig.”Source:

Obviusly they were busy enslaving and killing each other and had their own asshole kingdoms built by slaves. But you act all moreal because yhey got fucked by a superior culture playing by the same rules of the empire game and in the long run that means modernization, laws and better commerce than what they had with their shitty local ethnic warlords .
The only case i can think off of a more advanced civilization getting the btfo treatment in a way that was historically harmful was the mongol conquest of China and middle east. An objectively shitty and backwards culture dominating a more advance one instead of the other way around, that was more tragic than British colonizing Zulus who were killing each other in their shitty mud hut empire anyways.

This is why people call liberal feminism a joke, you romanticize shitty things just to get back at others. People in Africa aren't just living in huts, they're suffering. They'd gladly accept those stupid "problems" you listed over starving, illness, fgm, forced marriage, rape and death.

I really don't understand why making fun of poor lower class americans is so accepted. Of course they're uneducated like lower class people in almost every country, that's part of being lower class, not having access to good education.

victim for attention, irl support groups always feature someone who is just lying or exaggerating and do it shamelessly so no reason to believe in the internet is not that much more common. Especially with me too hype and stuff where people instantly believe the
victim no matter what.
Its a very delicate issue, diagnostics are hard, everything now is like a landmine field, a lot of people who truly need help are going untreated because they can't open ip but a lot of attention seeking liars are getting an scot free card to be narc assholes and blame it all on pass abuse that didn't happen like they say. Even worse, its being used as a weapon to ruin people's lives and reputations and this is the same shit that happened during religious and political times of persecution, people jump in a bandwagon and suddenly everyone is possesed by satan and everyone's neighbor is an insurgent, etc.
I cannot stomach reddit and how everyone is an uwu
victim shitting on their families, friends, coworkers, etc for instant validation.

You're right about that sub being full of overdramatic people.

This ends up with a bunch of teens and actual narcs thinking they were abused. Even if they where abused its a common fact on that sub people can develop fleas, picking up some of their psrents bad traits while growing up, and no one ever tries to call people out for that.

>>448864It's pretty well known that rbn has a 'safe space' vibe to it so you can't point out to people when they are describing really mundane disagreements with their parents. Now you have a mix of genuine stories of horrible abuse next to teens having very normal arguments but then calling their mother a narcissist.

It's crazy how many people lie about being abused in their childhood or how many people blow what happened to them out of proportion. It's sad because those that are the real
victims lose credibility because of those that are lying and people become skeptical.

Just because a person posts something mundane doesn't necessarily mean they've only ever posted mundane things.

I don't see how someone posting about their "lesser" situations invalidates someone who went through childhood sexual abuse.

There are a lot of extremely
toxic support groups or online communities dedicated to abuse survivors, because these communities attract a lot of BPDs that are obsessed with being
victims forever and other attention seeking people that aren't even going through abuse or are just going or went through things that are not that bad as they make it out to be. In these communities any real advice will be labeled as "
victim blaming", so ultimately their users are not even encouraged to get better or be aware of what they're doing wrong, it just encourages them to live in these communities by circle jerking on how much they were abused. I don't think anyone is denying that these communities truly have people that are actual
victims, but ironically those that are not tend to be the most active, as they're using victimhood as a way to cope with their life and recieve attention.
>>448820This is an example. A professional has no interest in making someone's life worse or downplaying their abuse, the intention of the professional that told their patient they're having a
victim complex was to make the patient self-conscious and to help them better their lives and their mentality. Of course, the patient absolutely refused believing or even considering that they might have a
victim complex problem and they went on the subreddit to get positive affirmation about how they are not having a
victim complex but the therapist is just crazy and is trying some
victim blaming technique on their patient. The advice was to "change therapist" because for us, the people of this community there's no possibility of us being wrong, it's just others that don't understand us, the real
victims of abuse. This is not advice, telling someone to just change therapists when their current one told them something that made them feel bad is not advice, that's a therapist's job they must make you face the truth and get a better mentality. Telling someone who's parents might not even be CRAZY
ABUSIVE BPD NARCISSISTS to completely cut contact with their parents is also not very great advice.
All of this being said, I still believe these communities do have people that were
victims but the truth is a lot of them were not or at least they were not as much as they claim to be. Also, the concept of "abuse" is highly subjective nowadays because technically anything that is not according to your expectations or that slightly hurts you will be considered abuse. This world is not perfect, the people living on this planet are not perfect, parents make mistakes. If your mom can't afford enough food for you as a child she's just poor, if she didn't give you sweets she did it because she thought she was in your best interest, not because she was a crazy
abusive narcissist.

the reason why no one shows proof often is because a lot of proof to that would often expose personal information, or the
victim was a child at the time and didn't know what was happening therefore doesn't have proof when they're old enough to know what happened to them and that it was wrong, why should we scream liar in their face because of that?

It's been years since I had any contact with him but I only recently realised how it was probably just another one of his crazy ways to make me feel bad for him, none of his friends or family or anyone ever mentioned any girl from his school killing herself. I can't decide if it's more likely it was a huge lie for attention, or just he was dumb enough to fall for the "catfish that fakes suicide" thing that used to always happen in those days.

Sweets are like anything else- too much is a bad thing, but it's fine in reasonable amounts.
When I was little, we always had soda, chips, and cookies in the house. Instead of getting fat, though, I just burned out and got bored of junk. Having access to it all the time destroyed the novelty, and I eventually developed a taste for somewhat weird things my mom never kept around, like spanikopita or eel.
The only junk I still like today is baked BBQ Lay's. Everything else is just boring, even the spicy stuff.

Adding to the boxed mac n cheese discourse, but I remember when I was a kid (like mid 2000s?) there was a kraft deluxe box that was white cheddar with spiral pasta. For an entire summer I ONLY ate that shit. It was incredible. They seemed to quickly discontinue it after that, which was sad, but probably saved me from having a heart attack at age 16 or something. I can't even find a picture of the box anymore…I just remember it kind of looked like this, but with white cheddar spiral pasta instead.

>>453316The dependence of the unborn still does not explain why killing it out of convenience is justifiable. You are faced with two human rights that are in conflict with each other (right to life vs. right to not be pregnant).
Cases like that are very common and solved by upholding the more fundamental right. The more fundamental right always belongs to the party that risks to be most negatively affected. In the case of the mother she will have to deal with fatigue,less mobility and pain (in severe cases psychological pain) temporarily.
The unborn however faces death and an extinguised future that lasts forever.
Therefore it is hard to deny that the right to life is more fundamental than the right not to be pregnant.

>>453327>In the case of the mother she will have to deal with fatigue,less mobility and pain (in severe cases psychological pain) temporarily.>temporarilyHere's the problem with this line of argument: the effects of childbearing last after you're finished being pregnant. Doctors specifically ask if you've been pregnant because it's a medical condition. The reason why the right not to be pregnant is a big deal isn't just about temporary hardship or the lifetime burden of a child, it's about the damage it does to the body. Your pelvic floor, spine, all kinds of stuff. Some women who have preexisting psychological issues can have actual psychotic breaks postpartum.
I think abortion sucks and I wish it didn't have to exist, mostly for late term, because the thought of having to destroy that potential is sad, but it has to because of how awful unwanted pregnancy is. I can't have a baby right now. People need to just use birth control if they're in a consensual sexual relationship, and abort if things go wrong with the birth control or if you get raped, etc.
No. 453359
>>453308>Also: does that mean you are in favour of a time limit for abortions (20 weeks ?) Absolutely, with the exception of severe health problems.
>Good point, but what about people being murdered in their sleep/while unconscious.It is very different because those are fully formed people with emotions and sentience who aren't dependent on the sacrifice of another human's bodily autonomy to continue development.
I personally find abortion very sad and think it shouldn't be taken lightly as a decision, however I feel that the outcome of its illegalization is far worse than having it accessible. It punishes desperate women in such a brutal way by forcing them to give birth or potentially maim/kill themselves by seeking back alley procedures, makes rape
victims carry their rapists babies, and basically turns every woman into a potential forced incubator.
No. 453363
>>453327Anon, you are severely downplaying the risks and complications that can often result from pregnancy, sometimes life threatening. It isn't simply "pain and fatigue", pregnancy can be life threatening and render you disabled. Diabetes, serious heart problems, and other really real problems can result or be worsened by fully carrying a baby to term. And if you're raped, the results of being forced to have your rapist's baby sure as fuck aren't "temporary".
>Therefore it is hard to deny that the right to life is more fundamental than the right not to be pregnant.What about the woman's right to life? Denying women the right to an abortion literally kills them, is that really worth forcing them to develop fetuses? Not only do they die from illegal abortions, but "life of the mother exceptions" have been proven to lead to maternal death because if they're not 100% sure, they usually won't allow the abortion. Many women have died this way.
No. 453382
>>453353A lot to unpack here. I get your point and what you are saying is factually correct. But you are also generalizing the changes a woman's body goes through in pregnancy by classifiying them all as "damages".
First of all, the maternal mortality rate during childbirth decreases with every pregnancy a woman carries to term - meaning that a woman is less likely to die during her 3rd labour than her first one.
But that is only true to a certain point, when it comes to the 7th, 8th or 9th child a lot of woman's bodies reach their limit and can be permanently damaged.
Now even if what you are saying is completely true: Childbirth/Pregnancy is still significantly less life threatening/damaging than death. (Duh)
So my point still stands - pregnancy is less harmful to the mother than abortion is to the unborn.
No. 453385
>>453382So, since you're so in favor to sacrificing women's bodily autonomy during pregnancy because it's less of a sacrifice to you, then how about we throw out bodily autonomy when it comes to organ transplants as well? The logic you're using here could easily be applied to this situation as well.
>Childbirth/Pregnancy is still significantly less life threatening/damaging than death. (Duh) The physical effects to the forced donor aren't nearly as bad as inevitable death, after all. (Duh)
>So my point still stands - pregnancy is less harmful to the mother than abortion is to the unborn.Being forced to donate organs is less harmful to the donor than death is to the person who needs a transplant.
>Therefore it is hard to deny that the right to life is more fundamental than the right not to be pregnant.Therefore it is hard to deny that the right to life is more fundamental than the right to not be forced to donate your organs.
No. 453386
>>453363I am in favor of abortion when it comes to situations where the life of the mother is at stake.
And obviously you are correct when saying that pregnancy can be very hard on women and leave behind permanent damages.
I was trying to say that the undesirable condition of the woman (pregnancy) is only temporary while the child's condition (death) is permanent. Therefore it stands to reason that the unborn's condition is more serious. Diabetes and heart problems suck - but you can't tell me that they are more damaging to the mothers health than abortion is to the child's health.
In much easier terms: It seems reasonable to assume that being pregnant isn't as bad as being dead.
No. 453390
>>453385Your analogy is
almost correct, but it contains a fallacy: In your analogy the organ transplant has not yet taken place- but when it comes to a pregnancy the unborn child is
already using the mother's organs.
So your analogy would be more correct like this: Can an organ donor kill somebody in order to take back his kidney after the transplantation surgery ?
No. 453397
>>453388Fetus means "little one" and describes a developmental stage in a human's life (just like baby,toddler, child, etc)
And the fetus, like the mother, exists. It might not feel pain or emotions but there are many already born people who are like that as well. The fetus can be compared to someone lying in a 9-month long coma after which he/she will awake and be able to feel pain/show emotions.
And why does the right to live need to be bound to the ability to feel pain ?
Calling it a clump of cells just functions to dehumanize it - you are basically a (big) clump of cells.

A lighter unpopular opinion I guess: A lot of "commentary channels" on youtube aren't much better than the content they critique, and sometimes they just come across as weirdly bitter and jealous of other successful youtubers.
I'm not trying to dismiss them as "haters", but I've noticed many of them say the same thing in their videos: "ugh why does this shitty content/youtuber get so many views? how are these people millionaires while actually good content creators (like myself) are barely getting paid?!". Like they're genuinely angry about how 'unfair' the internet is and feel entitled to some type of recognition. But in reality a lot of commentary youtubers aren't even that talented, their whole channel is just them ranting/insulting bad content (videos, movies, music, etc.)–basically glorified reaction channels. They love to pretend that they aren't as money hungry as other internet celebs but also love to beg for likes/subscribers, do sponsorships, and won't hesitate to sell merch and do tours/meet and greets. They just try to justify it by saying they're deserving of this because their content is "good" or they're a decent person so they deserve it. Some might be funny/entertaining but it just seems hypocritical to attack a creator when most commentary channels don't even create their own original content, and most would probably also be really shitty at it if they tried to. There's a reason why so many people are trying to be commentary channels–it's literally the easiest content to make, all you have to do is state your opinion on something and/or rant about how bad something is. As long as you have a bearable personality you're bound to get some views, so it's weird that they act like they're the god-tier of youtube. We get it: the Paul brothers are shit, TikTok is cringe, kids have bad taste in youtubers, please find something new to say.

>>453857I think that's because HxH deviated from the norm in its later arcs. Granted, the first few arcs were your run-of-the-mill shounen tropes, but as the story progresses it goes in some pretty bizarre directions that I honestly liked.
Also, BNHA has way more in common with HXH than it does with Naruto. In addition to having similar powers, Izuku even
looks like Gon, which spawned memes like pic related.

Bus drivers, specifically school drivers, are really good at their job here, and it is taken very seriously. When school bus drivers are frequently late dropping off their students more than 15 minutes, they're fired. They're expected to keep the bus clean and act professional at all times; there's been lots of fired bus drivers when I was in high school. Most bus drivers that kept their jobs, had been doing it over 20 years. They're all trained in CPR and medical emergencies (allergy, convulsions, etc), and hijacking/gun safety, (which I know is common knowledge about bus drivers, but it just shows you the hiring process is a little better). That driver is responsible for the student's safety. Bus drivers are rarely a problem here.

"Don't you want to try different partners and find what you like sexually?" "Marriage is dated."), no thank you. I unapologetically like older men. I think women have this image I'll date any random older dude, in the same way teen girls in the locker room are afraid that a lesbian will find them attractive because lesbians find every single woman attractive, right? I still have standards. The average boomer is gross, ill kept, and ill mannered. Single men in their middle age are a red flag, and especially those who pry on young girls, but consider that some of us have an older social group due to our jobs, schooling interests, or hobbies. I tend to be around older guys all day, and have acquaintances. It's not really surprising I may like to date one after working by their side for a few years for the reason we are close and good friends. I've never met a young guy who became my friend before asking me out; it was immediate, they didn't care about my interests, and they pressured for sex. They eventually left when I wouldn't put out. All of my relationships with older men have just been nice, and slow paced. I feel like a human being and not a sex doll (but I have encountered my fair share of shitty older dudes that just want a lay too, though I never had interest in them to begin with). I find my odds of having a satisfying relationship go up when I date out of my arbitrary age range, with a certain level of carefulness.

steve irwin was a terrible animal educator and was not a decent advocate for animals. he was disrespectful of animals and was very careless. he brought his baby in, mere feet from a crocodile, when feeding a crocodile, and his general treatment of wild animals was horrible. i hate the way everyone remembers him as being respectful and responsible. he was not.
cousteau was right about him:
>Cousteau stated that Irwin would “interfere with nature, jump on animals, grab them, hold them, and have this very, very spectacular, dramatic way of presenting things. Of course, it goes very well on television. It sells, it appeals to a lot people, but I think it’s very misleading. You don’t touch nature, you just look at it.”
his habit of manhandling nature and animals to children and to a generally impressionable audience was very harmful and he was a bad influence. he should be remembered as a reckless and irresponsible fool that didn't truly care about animals. the harm he had the potential to do is immeasurable

Anime is fucking awful, as are video games.
I tried to get into them because I was nostalgic for Pokemon, Tomb Raider, and Sailor Moon (etc.) that I loved when younger. Aside from classics like Cowboy Bebop or a beautifully done indie game like Journey, it's all horrible. Wildly inappropriate fan service, weird inconsistent dialect (seriously, I have no idea what's going on a lot of the time, too many plot holes), over-exaggerated and overused facial expressions/tropes, just pedophilia and disrespect for female characters in general. Plus, unlike old school anime (think Naruto with its own distinctive style), it all looks alike now, especially after 2011. Video games are less like this, but they lack creativity to solve levels now. It's mostly shooting, grinding, or both. Everything "nerdy" just sucks in general now, like Marvel, but that's not an unpopular opinion and I'd say at least the Avengers is mildly entertaining.

Somehow I think he should've stuck to autistically screaming at video games.
giving other lets players the benefit of the doubt I used to be a lot more into the ones who wouldn't be as screamy and would actually comment on the game specs so that's probably why even his early content was easy to outgrow because it was painfully redundant compared to everyone else's content, I still don't know why he retains his status as #1 youtuber when his current content is painful to watch.

I think both anime and video games are large mediums (not genres) and, because of their size, should not be judged on the usual run-off (both are often very generic because many people are in the industry not to make something beautiful, but to get money, first and foremost), but by the amount of gems that can be found (hidden or not), and their potential as a tool for storytelling.
I wouldn't feel comfortable bashing anime or video games in themselves and calling the entire medium(s) good or bad over the content I've seen alone, any more than I'd feel comfortable doing the same for movies, books or television series as a whole when I know that monetary gain is so heavily prioritized above everything. There's also no fucking way I'm going to watch every TV series, movie or read every book from all eras in a bid to decide if everything is good or bad, so I'd rather just classify the mediums as subjective and take the content therein on a case-by-case basis.
The anime and video game industries, however, are another story, and the same goes for the fan cultures. The way they treat those who work in said industries is abhorrent, and I think many companies pander too heavily to their worst fans, because those are the ones who throw the most money at them. This encourages them to keep behaving the way they do once they've been "seen" by the industry, creating a toxic culture of people who think their loathsome activities and dysfunctional personalities are normal or acceptable (at least when it comes to said mediums, if not life outside them).

>>454895I agree with this, but anime in general seems way more autistic and a shit ton of it is sexist and panders to otaku, and this is coming from someone who has been a fan for a long time. The fans are definitely fucking disgusting and autistic and love joking about "waifus" and ogling over anime girls constantly. It's a pretty backwards fandom, which is why I understand why many people are way of it, and also because a ton of mainstream anime is made to appeal to horny, retarded otaku. I tend to consume majority horror-related media, especially manga, but every other recommendation sexualizes girls or women and it's instantly unreadable. And fans make excuses that they're "just drawings" and it's "normal" in Japanese culture lel.
As for video games, it doesn't seem nearly as difficult to find some decent ones, because there are more indie games that don't just focus on trying to sell to the mainstream or promoting sexism.

It's rare that they ever pursue IRL gay men, unlike straight dudes who pursue/threaten lesbians for their own creepy fantasies. I think the ones who are "fetishizing" gay relationships are fakebois. Like, it's one thing to like yaoi but it's another thing entirely to want to get surgery/horomones just to act it out IRL.

At this point it's not about larping as a dreamy fictional boy anymore, it's about saving your skin. And you know where this mentality came from? The people screeching for years about how horrible fujos are and how they hate women while fetishizing male relationships. They internalized that and decided "I don't want to be that person, I'll become a gay male myself".
Back when I was a teenager fujos were doing this cringy shit of larping as their uke/seme couples (while still identifying as female), but that's just part of being a teenager. Playing with different identities and ideas while finding yourself, sometimes they would realize through this "roleplay" that they were lesbian or bisexual. And guess what, they all eventually grew to be normal adults who continued liking fujo stuff or dropped it altogether. But now you got all the moralfags interfering with that process and laying the "stop fetishizing you bigots" take on them, what else would you expect to be the result? Back then they might've gotten a shitty sasunaru tattoo when they turned 18 but that's nowhere near as extreme as injecting testosterone or having body-altering surgeries.
Those "straight girls who fetishize anime gays but are homophobes irl" probably exist in some numbers but in my 10+ years of fujodom I have never met a single fujo like that. Never. It's often just these fakebois projecting the experiences they had in school when some basic bitch straight girls would ridicule them for being a lesbian and then squee over some charismatic sassy gay character on TV.

I follow multiple male gay artists and they often enjoy the content made for fujos just as well as fujos themselves, but also draw their own stuff that would make an average tumblrette's face turn white. I know fujos get blamed for the "gay man turning a straight guy gay with loving rape fetish" but jesus christ the porn created by gay men has that plot point down very, very well.
I swear the antis have like zero contact with gay men and have no idea about their actual lives because they think their 5ft3 fakeboi girlfriends represent the "gay men" demographic well enough. They're adult men, I doubt they need barely underage antis going after fujos or care about "the fetishization".

god please stop saying "most fujos are lesbians!!!", where does this delusion come from? you're not a lesbian if you're into men. stop.
>>456174i used to find fujos usually the cringiest part of fandoms because they were always in catfights over their ships, would always shove their stuff down everyone's throat and make everything about some woke agenda but seeing how much being objectified in a gay way offends straight men that have no sense of empathy, it's all good.

There are plenty of widely available barrier options and if you combine them with a spermicide they're just as effective as hormonal options.
I think the real problem is that men don't personally feel the same level of reproductive responsibility as women. They generally engage in much more risky sexual behavior, and aren't as concerned with their overall reproductive health. Just take a look at all the promiscuity among gay men and how many of them refuse to use condoms, some of which knowing fully well that they have a transmittable infection.
Oh, and of course it doesn't help that we as a society generally give men a pass when it comes to abandoning their children, while simultaneously shaming women who try to terminate pregnancy or give children up for adoption. The whole system's fucked in men's favor.

>>456173>I also hate when people think that being into something "nerdy" like marvel or star wars makes them unique some howTbh I think the problem is that the concept of "nerd culture" is outdated. Sure, years ago a person might have been considered nerdy for being into comics and liking sci-fi, but now media like superheros movies and star wars are billion dollar franchises and very mainstream. So now you have a bunch of "normies" who think they're dorks for liking stereotypical nerdy things but in reality that shit hasn't been 'nerdy' since like the early 2010s. Nerd culture is really just pop culture now, unfortunately some people didn't get the memo. It's kinda like how people think they're special for listening to The Beatles, has if they aren't one of the most popular bands on Earth.
In my opinion being a "nerd" in general is overrated, people should enjoy things they like without insisting on labeling themselves or feeling this weird sense of pride over being "different". Some people like niche things, others don't, who cares?

all POC means is non-white and I personally hate the phrase.
it homogenizes all non-white people. Even worse, the phrase is used imprecisely and unnecessarily all the time. If you're talking about the issues that Chinese women face, why call them POC or WOC unless you're trying to bring home a bigger point that includes non-Chinese women? It happens too often, and I usually see POC being used when talking about black issues, which is a problem of its own.
It also creates a binary: white and non-white, which is problematic for a lot of reasons. Race just isn't black and white, pun fully intended. And by definition, the metric of comparison is whiteness. ,for e.g someone who is half white is often still considered a POC. I've even seen instances in which people who are quarter black AND white-passing are still considered POC, regardless of how the individual identifies. I've also seen white Hispanics claim to be POC which is… interesting cause Italian's aren't considered POC's
I guess "POC" can be useful when talking about colonization, but that's not the way I've most often heard it used. There are probably better descriptors you can use.

victim" than poor as fuck south-eastern but white euro- countries? What a stupid word. Because let's face it, "poc" is only always used with the connotation of good while the rest, meaning white people are the bad oppressors.

Europe doesn't have a monopoly on light skin.
Also there's no reason to think darker Iranians are automatically mixed with Arabs. Even Egyptians are mostly the same genepool as the ancient Egyptians (and the English mostly the same genepool as the ancient Britons). Historically Persians intermarried the most with Greeks but even that's obviously a very small proportion who can claim distant Greek ancestry.
I think we just have dark and lighter skin coexisting in the area and even the same families, since ancient times, the same as most of the region.

>>456989Mainly because for one, it's a fictional character and it's a nicer way of pretending to be married to them and two most of the characters at least in shoujo I've read are pretty heavily abused and the idea of self inserting as a girl who gets kicked around all the time by bishounen men is weird to me. It's one thing if it's unrelated two characters but the reader is supposed to pretend to be said character getting abused, like you can find
abusive men all the time in real life why would you want to pretend it's happening to you in manga/anime as well?
>>456991I'm talking about more of a character made for the reader to insert onto or a character that someone happens to self insert as in a work, but you also bring up a good point of weird authors who write obvious self inserts. I notice men do this more than women but at least when women write self inserts they're generally nice meanwhile men just write the biggest douchebags who fuck everything in sight and are the master at war/video games/etc.

>>457066Dicks are ugly in general but I think the looks argument for circumcision is retarded. Not to go off on a tangent here but my sister insists that she will circumcise any future sons because "uncut dicks are gross" and she personally doesn't like having sex with uncut guys. How can someone unironically say that they
must perform an unnecessary procedure to alter the appearance of their infant's genitalia based on their own sexual preference? How am I seemingly the only person who thinks that's fucking weird? America is nuts.

>>456559My biggest pet peeve is the meme that autistic= a savant misunderstood genius.
autists are pretty average or slightly below when it comes to IQ and they perform way worst than most people in normal conditions, they are neither Sherlock nor Dr House types. If anything it is a handicap and the worst possible thing to do is validate a bunch of autistic people's dunning krueger's so they become even bigger insufferable pain the asses to deal with and worsen their condition by believing they being on the spectrum is a superpower and not something they have to treat an work through to be more productive and happier. Met one dude in my last office job who kept sperging about being an annunaki, he could barely even get by and do his job at the bare minimum, of course he confused everyone being too polite to call him out on his dellusions or argue with him as everyone agreeing he was a genius. Of course, big fedora wearing type, Shapiro and Jordan Peterson fan, wouldn't shut up about truisms he memorized, had no personality beyond that, everyone who didn't like his dumb memes was a simpleton in his eyes and could not possible know something he didn't.
No. 457754
>>457732>If an autistic person can hold a job, they're already way above a lot of othersExactly, just doing normal day to day tasks is considered high functioning and that should be telling that the condition is not about the cold and detached redpiled geniuses the some weebs see themselves as. I don't know statistically but aren't most people on the spectrum just fairly normal and able to go to normal schools and workplace? It doesn't have to be crippling despite being a handicap. Even Chris Chan could have probably integrated a lot better if he received better care and his family life wasn't such a mess.
If i come across as ignorant, i am sorry, i have nothing but sympathy for autistic anons that overcome their condition and integrate to society and they deserve their place in whatever they do, we all have hurdles but this guy was not really on that level and he wasn't that low functioning not to be able to improve if he cared, the only reason he even got a job was because he was an initial hire when the company just started, the first few months they didn't have proper HR so they botched it with the screening process. The first 3 months there were hardly any projects to work on so he got the trial period fine and got a contract for 6 more months, as soon as work started coming in it became a bad situation. By the time i came in there were already busy covering for his fuck ups and could not wait for his contract to end so they could quietly get rid of him without any hassle. All of his tasks were re assigned to new hires (like me), he was left with bs tasks no one gave a crap about just so he could pretend to work while the rest of the team did damage control for his first few months of mess ups. He never got the hint though, always acted like he was the big brain around and when asked to do the easy menial bs he was demoted to he still acted like "ugh, i have to do everything around here, what would you do without me " attitude.
He also shared those "npc memes" on his twitter (which he updated often and during work hours), he was our office personal cow for a little while.

No. 457766
>>457731I remember having two autistic classmates in middle school who would randomly have meltdowns and be so socially retarded they made everything awkward for everyone. One of them desperately wanted to be my bff and since I didn't know about her condition yet and the fact that she beat the shit out of a much shorter and skinnier boy than her before I talked to her for a bit. Her parents were of the "we're vegans and anti-vaxxers and our autistic daughter is doing just fine in this semi-expensive private middle school, we're perfect parents!!1! being a vegan is healing her!!" The other classmate was doing fine imo, he was just socially awkward and older than everyone else because he spent two years in therapy, but he was obsessed with video games. Still, they were high functioning sure but they were always interrupting classes and the first one would then harass and beat other kids later on, and sperg endlessly about Naruto and Nintendo games. They should have both been in a special school for disabled kids instead of ruining normal kids' education.
One of the reason why I tried to hang out with her was also because adults would push the "be nice to everyone, it's not because she's autistic that she's different and she has no friends :(" narrative. Big mistake. Never again. She had that one "autistic face" that you can see from miles away, I should have known better because I found this off-putting despite not really knowing about autism at the time. I don't get how people can be so in denial and think that their kids are "sort of normal actually with just a small difference" instead of being unhinged assholes at the very best.
At my part-time job when I was a student I had to work with a guy who wasn't as high functioning and it was basically like being a baby-sitter and salesperson at the same time. He smelled horrible, looked just like the guy in your pic and my coworkers and I had to do his job and be reprimanded for his mistakes by our managers. iirc he has a caregiver who legally manages his money so why the fuck wasn't he given an easier and less annoying job instead of fucking things up for us, I have no idea.

>>457754Its difficult to say, the people who are probably on the spectrum who lead fairly normal lives don't get diagnosed. I do a fairly well educated job and probably half of the people in it are spectrumy, but born in an age where people just put it down to being odd.
Sorry to blog, but my younger brother has autism, and to be honest getting the official diagnosis has really fucked him. His biggest problem is social anxiety, and where he was coping pretty well before, he's now even more anxious because now the diagnosis has given his anxiety another stick to beat him with - even though the actual autism is mild enough that he went undiagnosed until his late teens by which point the boat had been missed for coping strategies. Maybe if people stopped being fucking weird about spergs and pointing out the autism at every turn and how great it is, he wouldn't be as anxious about it.

No. 457806
>>457797since it's not really on record to begin with iirc I'm really not sure, I mean I've never actually used any school disability resources and basically hid most of my diagnoseses until college hit, plus didn't get diagnosed with bpd or bipolar until about 19-20, I do kind of believe the bipolar diagnosis negates the bpd since they have a lot of comorbidity and unlike bpd people are said to be I'm more "aware" of my outbursts and medication helps me, my mother might be bpd because she's mentally ill and refuses to go to a psychiatrist yet let's her doctor prescribe her Valium which imo doesn't do anything for her to help her behavior at all. but yeah I even kept mum about my mental issues at work for the longest time except amongst my close friends there because the ADA doesn't really give a shit about bipolar and or bpd people, they only care if someone's actually retarded enough to qualify as a tax deduction. don't get me wrong, I worked with a guy who had severe mental retardation and he was actually a really sweet dude who was surprisingly not prone to tantrums, but it kinda pisses me off that it's clear workplaces don't give a fuck if you're "functionally" retarded
as for the whole autist thing I'm not insulted by it, I use it all the time myself, I love the fact that I learned the term sperg from the internet lmao

I think a major skincare scam rn are most of those face masks that everyone is obsessed over. Moisturizers work as good and one gets more product for their money spent.
Turns out my acne was mostly stressed-based; so once I cut out my shitty ex, my shitty old job, and my shitty mother it got a lot better.
These days I just use a sugar scrub and a moisturizer and my skin has never been better, not to say I don't have a breakout from time to time. Lack of moisturizer and inadequate exfoliators I think was actually a major reason why I broke out so much in addition to the stress.
Even with antibiotics my acne never went away completely. In the early aughts I threw so much money at fucking Proactiv and later on retinoids and toners and different face washes. I'm so glad it's over.

I also don't get why everybody and their aunt buys korean products. It's been scientistically proven that asians have thicker skin than whites, so of course their products are too much for non-asians. Everybody get's that different races need different hair products, so no idea why most fail to see that it is the same with skin too. Plus the regulations regarding ingredients in cosmetics in Korea are a lot less strict than in most european countries/the US, you don't wanna risk anything.
