>>509695Tbh I don't get why people believe have to prove their sexuality. A lot of people don't have many romantic partners in short amounts of time.
I rarely ever hear this directed at men who say they're bisexual.
I don't get the seeking attention from men excuse either. Bisexuality doesn't mean someone's hornier than the average person or non-monogamous.
No. 509706
>>509699I know you didn't specifically say some of those things, I was simply pointing out that those are common underlying meanings of ideas and phrases like that, concerning female bisexuality. "Engage romantically" can mean two women being in a legitimate relationship or two (not dating) women simply kissing in public - I've heard it said towards both that women who do that aren't truly bisexual and simply act that way for male attention, which can be the case at times, but definitely not in all cases. Some women who have only dated men are bisexual and would like to date women, but are afraid to come out due to those exact ideas about female bisexuality.
>>509702Many men who do come out as bisexual get either outright told or suggested to them that they're just gay and don't want to come out of the closet (the way that many women who come out as bisexual get told that they're just straight and looking for attention.) Bisexual erasure is (sadly) present for both sexes.

Full on attraction to women is natural and you don’t do shit like that. I’m bisexual and female. I’ve dated both men and women. To me it’s just who I find attractive and that’s it. I don’t gloat about tits 24/7. If she’s got nice breasts then that’s a bonus I guess. But I don’t pay it much mind because I expect a woman to come with them lmao.

i don't get some people that complain about the price of public transit. it's already cheap and most places only have you pay for it once every 2 hours. so you're basically free to hop on any train or bus as many times as you want. if you have the legs and don't want to pay your fare, you can walk to your destination. public tranist can be considered a privilege, as much as a car. i mean, be grateful you don't have to pay for upkeep for a personal car, which includes oil changes, gas fill up, and other fluids that need to be replaced or topped every so often. if public transit is your way to get to work, it's basically the same, it's already way cheaper overall than owning a personal car for those same reasons i already pointed out. i've traveled 40 minutes away from home using public tranist, and it cost me a total of $5 to get there one way, if i drove my car, i would've paid the same price, on top of paying for public parking, so public transit it is.

>>509691I agree and I'm saying this as a bi girl myself. Girls that call themselves bi or "gay af teehee" are girls that just say dumb shit like "girls are so cute n smol" and aren't actually willing to have a relationship with a woman that goes beyond a short term fling or a few kisses.
It's honestly really gross to me because they don't actually view relationship with women on the same level as a relationship with a man.
There are also bi girls that are genuinely bi, but it is true that we will gravitate toward the norm depending on where we live for convenience. If you are serious about someone like I was a few years ago then coming out isn't an issue.

>>510642Shit, I just was about to mention Sonic.
My unpopular opinion for this thread: I think Sonic's autism was exaggerated way too much because of its fanbase and especially Chris-Chan (who was also a Pokemon fan and that fanbase is also extremely autistic but doesn't get near the rep Sonic does despite being 3x as big these days), the Sonic games were mostly only autistic because of 2-3 games and biggest issues were about the inconsistent & bad gameplay more than anything else. I also think Sonic had really unfortunate timing since it was big in the 90s/00s so a lot of coomers and furries (who are legendarily deranged) were drawn to it and produced a lot of autistic shit. But now its 2020 and nearly every video game, cartoon, or anime fandom is autistic as fuck and cumbrained, but since its so normalized now only sonic's fandom gets remembered as the autistic one. I think a lot of shit these days is pretty fucking cringe so it's always funny to see someone who draws lewds of cartoon characters for a living and talk about how X anime/video game girl is so hot talks about how sonic's fanbase is so autistic, like it's some heavy dissonance right there. Furries are becoming normalized even more too and I see even the "regular" (for that community) fans lusting over borderline furry or furry characters. It's sad tbh.

Tbh I don’t trust the UK gov to not screw this up or resist using this maliciously. It’s a joke of a nanny state and imo if they really want to through their fund money somewhere to ‘protect the kids’, they should be making classes for parents to learn how to do their jobs because people can’t raise their kids for shit these days. Tangent here but the state of parenting in the UK rotten to me, too much ‘give the kid an iPhone with Peppa Pig on Youtube then fuck off for the day’. Banning people from raising a hand to their kids for abuse fears but then not telling them how else to discipline them so I constantly hear "piss off, little Jimmy" "stop fucking crying already", "we’re going home and you’ll go to your room you little shit", but at least that’s not beating them, eh?
Anyway, but to gain internet access you presumably need to be an adult to have the relevant ID to purchase broadband, what 15 year old is going to start a monthly contract with Virgin? Child safety starts with the parent, and the basic human right
I’m worried is the abuse of privacy because letting the government set this up is giving them a lot of power I don’t trust them with. To use your point, I don’t want there to be a possibility that my porn habits are linked to my ID as a citizen (and as a woman) on someone’s paperwork. And like people have said, what constitutes as an adult site? Even Wikipedia has whole sections dedicated to explaining fetishes and sexual techniques. And this place, some of things we discuss here are NSFL with links to cows’ degeneracy and anons admitting theirs on /ot/ and /g/ all the time, should we really make every Bong anon give their ID to access the farms? Is that where my tax money’s going?
What counts as ‘too adult for kids’ breaks down when you look at it too finely, which is a big reason why I think it should up to the discretion of kids’ parents who have the best chance of monitoring what they actually do online vs some government hired boomers who are too out of touch with every aspect of this and are likely only pushing it to pat themselves on the back for doing something that looks good. Reminds me of Japan looking to limit minors’ video game time when they should really focus on making their society less soul crushingly suicidal so that those hikis-to-be don’t have to escape reality so hard in the first place.

>>511860>Anyway, but to gain internet access you presumably need to be an adult to have the relevant ID to purchase broadband, what 15 year old is going to start a monthly contract with Virgin? If we're being honest, most of the minors are probably just going to have their older brothers or even their dads verify with their IDs, and then they'll have free access to porn whenever they're using the internet a home. Or they'll leech off the wifi of someone else who has it. Or some freaks are going to make a habit of sharing it on places that are supposed to be childsafe like Amino. No one can tell me the government doesn't know about all these loopholes too lmao.
This entire thing is a sham and it's going to lead the way to other, even more invasive things. Porn is just an excuse. They just want to collect even more of people's data. I agree the spread of pornography has gone too far and it's messing up kids minds, but it's transparent what the real goal is.

I do think cultural appropriation as a concept has some merit in an academic sense, but in terms of how people try to apply it, it's almost always just gate keeping. Like I do sometimes wonder if "X" person can declare that some garment or ritual is sacred and therefore some other group can't copy or imitate or partake or what have you, what IS to stop someone else from just saying "nah, it's fine, everyone else have at this clothing, ritual, celebration, etc." When the "this is my culture, not a costume" stuff came up some years back, I said, "well okay, it's my culture(ethiopian) too I guess, and I say that it's fine that people wear this stuff in costume….now what?

I'd just feel really dumb defending someone else's right to do something that would get me thrown out of educational institutions or fired from work, lmao.

I hate gay men that treat their wives like breeding stock and then decide to come out and are all applauded for it. They’re not ‘brave’ for coming out once they’ve manipulated a woman into marriage and then into having children with them. I don’t give a shit if they grew up in a more homophobic time, no one held a gun to their head forcing them to have children with women over and over, all the while most likely cheating on her with other closeted gay men (risking their wives lives in two different ways!)
My unpopular opinion is that if you were in the closest for so long then fucking stay in it. Why break the heart of the woman you were supposed to love when she devoted so much to you? Make her aware that she was actually nothing to you, that you used her as a beard and as a brooding mare? Narcissism.

I feel 'stop romanticizing mental illness!' has become a buzz word now. I acknowledge it came from very real roots and what it's meant to combat still exist, but it's been mostly co opted by people using it as a shield.
The main people who repeat 'stop romanticizing' aren't always wrong, but often it's used by people who miss the point of why romanticizing mental illness is wrong, which are competing to see who is the most sick, idealizing suicide, and giving a false image of mental illness. An average redditor who makes fun of a tumblr teen for romanticizing mental illness will fall on 'My depression is realer, you faker', go onto a meme subreddit to make 'I wanna die' jokes, and their proof of someone faking a mental illness devolves into 'high functioning depression, often in women, cannot exist.'. Most people who combat 'romanticizing mental illness' are no better than the romanticizers themselves. Reddit, a site the prides it self on being better than tumblr, will defend making depression memes as a way to cope, but if tumblr said 'I make edgy poems to cope' the site would be decimated.
The biggest proof of it's buzz wordiness to me is how people just repeat the same 3 'don't romanticize mental illness' arguments. It's no longer about wanting to help people, but, as much as I hate the word, virtue signalling. Also the dudes out their who think an edgy teen writing suicide poems on their tumblr is the same thing as pro Ana people is surprisingly high. Finally it's autistic to think people use 'anxious' and 'depressed' without having the clinical versions of the disease.

On a related topic, people who bitch about others coping with nihilistic but funny and ~relatable~ "gonna kill myself" memes are annoying and need to mind their own business, if I want to laugh at a joke about depression because my mental state is a hellscape at the moment and I want something to make light of it for a moment then it's my own goddamn problem.

realistically, not morally, "I want humanity to die so animals can live happy" isn't possible. All the horrible things humans have done to the environment need humans to prevent from getting even worse. For example Chernobyl still leaks radiation to the point it needs a team to still prevent it from leaking, the USA has 80 (public) radioactive sites that need to be watched, and nuclear reactors that need watching 24/7. Humans also have toxic chemical stores, plastics, asbestos, etc all over that need to be disposed of by humans. Humans going poof wont give animals a happy life it'll invoke a nuclear winter.
No. 515166
>>515150we can't dispose of those things. we can only bury the radioactive waste and wait for it to decay, bury the plastic and wait for it to biodegrade, run water pollution through a scrubber to turn it into air pollution, etc. our use of resources now is exponentially increasing to the point that invoking our
own extinction is inevitable, it's not really a question whether other animals are going to suffer and die. so i agree with you there, but i don't think there's much we can do to soften the blow at this point. in the long run, for the sake of the rest of the biosphere, the sooner we stop using resources (i.e., die) the better.

It doesn't mean they're going to be reciprocal or willing to raise tangible help.

Bojack Horseman isn’t funny and is mediocre in its story. I had a guy praise it to me over how the humor is “subtle” and how “dark” it is. I watched the first two seasons and did not chuckle once.

I think that pap smears are unnecessary if you don't have any of the risk factors and are a young woman. I also think that it's messed up that they are used like a carrot-with-a-stick before many doctors will prescribe birth control. Imagine your dermatologist refusing to treat your acne if you didn't get a skin cancer test (more common than cervical cancer). Imagine doctors refusing to give basic meds to men (that only depended on blood pressure) unless they had yearly prostate exams. I swear modern women have been almost brainwashed by the medical establishment and social conditioning to think that if they don't get a pap every year they will 100% get cervical cancer and die.
By the way, the World Health Organization only recommends it every 3-5 years AT MOST if you aren't at risk, and like I said it's a misconception that you need one yearly and I know a lot of women irl that still think this. I even met doctors that think this.
Also, it's funny the way women react like you are the stupidest, most childish bitch on the planet if you have any criticism about the way and frequency paps are performed. They act like you are just being defiant for the sake of it. My own mother treated me this way and had a smug reaction when I had one. I think it is because they can't handle the fact that they might be putting themselves through dozens and dozens of invasive tests over their lifetime for NOTHING.
Oh, FYI if you live in the United States, it is legal for medical students to perform pap exams on you without your consent while you are unconscious in the hospital, even if it isn't for a gynecological related surgery. Look it up. I feel like it is disgusting how women's medical autonomy is treated in the United States. I was ranting about it in relating to birth control and doctors brushing off side effects or minimizing my pain in another thread and it just made me so angry thinking about all this shit.
Source on pelvic exams without consent: Educational pelvic exams on anesthetized women: Why consent matters by Phoebe Friesen (God I hope this isn't so common, makes me afraid of needing surgery)
Additionally, I think that males shouldn't be allowed to be fertility doctors and it should be common sense. Too many cases of doctors using their own semen to impregnate women and only being discovered after he has 50+ victims. I have read dozens of cases of it, just look it up, one just made national news less than a few months ago.

The
biggest leap forward is the emergence of laws against revenge porn in various countries, and that's because it's now more commonly understood how damaging it is to have compromising images or video leaked, not because it's seen as less of a big deal.

And it's not a matter of men changing their minds lol why the fuck do dimwits always assume change comes from the micro level of convincing people personally? Men don't need to change their minds or stop cooming (what's wrong with that anyway? why give a shit?) it's simply a matter of normalization. Being gay has been normalized, and despite the fact that a lot of people still hate them, they're not really punished for that - because it's fucking
normal.
And I'm not telling you to do anything, I'm well aware that a lot of spergs from this website are so afraid of having a male think a lewd thought about them that they'd wear a burka were it not for the religious connotation. But lots of girls aren't like this, and they have a positive impact in said normalization. I don't neurotically keep up with feminist discourse looking for the next thing to be outraged about so I don't know what's the story you're referring to, but my recent anecdotal experience with girls who got their nudes leaked was that fucking nothing happened. It would be unthinkable for nothing to happen as early as 5 years ago. Maybe you'd be able to see the progress if your definition of "making nudes acceptable" weren't men throwing their sexuality in the bin never to feel aroused by a titty ever again.

>>516523>is not justifying the negative consequences or blaming womenBut it is and it does and this is EXACTLY the logic of criminal males when they commit crimes against women. They always absolve themselves because they say that the women were dumb in the first place, or "she forced my hand."
The fact is nothing would come of a boyfriend having a naked picture of a girlfriend on his phone unless HE did something shit with it.

>>516523this exactly. there's a big difference between how something should be and how something actually is. no one should have to deal with bullshit like that, but the reality is that it can happen, so you should be careful. i think it's a big issue to talk down anyone who asserts that as
victim blaming, it just ends up creating more
victims inadvertently, it's a knee-jerk reaction. we shouldn't criticize people after the fact necessarily, but you need to warn people of how real life is.
No. 516557
>>516530For the last time being cautious about who to trust and considering the possible long-term consequences is not excusing men of doing the shitty things. Them being shitty is the reason why we have to be cautious in the first place. No one here is debating that.
Guess we shouldn't teach young women to be suspicious of strangers or literally any seedy situation at all because it's
victim blaming if something bad happens to them. Who gives a fuck about prevention.

>>516754Hoodies aren't the appropriated clothing items I was talking about. The clothes were a minor point anyway, it's mainly the weird accent.
Also her comparison to Ariana had to do with her bizarre accent. Yes Billie doesn't do the crazy tan, but I was comparing the way she talks because her accent when she sings sounds nothing like the way she talks. Ariana is a piece of shit blackfisher, but her blaccent is nowhere near as bad as Billie's in my opinion.
I do agree that Ariana has gone further in terms of aesthetics to blackfish than Billie has, but Billie's accent is way more try hard. Ariana talks in the same way she sings, where as if I had never heard Billie Eilish talk, I would not think that was her real voice.

I really don't think it's right to push or guilt rape victims into reporting.
I saw a post on reddit yesterday of a dude whose friend raped his gf and he said he forced to reporting it. And everyone's in the comments saying he should take things at her pace, one saying "eventually she'll thank you for making her report". Like, what?
There feels like so many reasons for a victim to not report. Not only do you have to relive your trauma, you open than that humiliating experience up to everyone you know including the shits saying "how drunk were you, what were you wearing?", you have to go through physically invasive procedures for it to maybe not be processed anyway, questioned on it over and over, possibly turn it into a "he said she said" thing unless it was a violent rape, try have it turned back on you, have this thing dragged out over a long time when you just want to be over it, and in the end have a low chance of the person ever getting justice anyway.
Like fuck, I'm not sure I'd report if I were sexually assaulted. For what, a sense of justice? Nah if I were raped I'd want to take care of me and myself first and foremost.
And the women who report and for the most part lauded, but otherwise it's shit like:
-You NEED to report, it's the right thing to do
-if you don't, then he could do this to someone else in the future (sure, put that guilt on the victim!)
Oh, not forgetting the undercurrent of suspicion you get if you don't report, with people insinuating if it's a rape there's no reason to not report, so it was probably consensual. You get guys breaking up with their gfs because they were raped at a party and didn't report. I guess believing the victim is another story but I just think the whole "you need to go to the police" take is lacking in any kind of empathy and understanding.

>>516939fire ecology researchers say "Fires often remove alien plants that compete with native species for nutrients and space, and remove undergrowth, which allows sunlight to reach the forest floor, thereby supporting the growth of native species. The ashes that remain after a fire add nutrients often locked in older vegetation to the soil for trees and other vegetation. Fires can also provide a way for controlling insect pests by killing off the older or diseased trees and leaving the younger, healthier trees. In addition to all of the above-mentioned benefits, burned trees provide habitat for nesting birds, homes for mammals and a nutrient base for new plants. When these trees decay, they return even more nutrients to the soil. Overall, fire is a catalyst for promoting biological diversity and healthy ecosystems. It fosters new plant growth and wildlife populations often expand as a result"

Not-like-other-girls bashing sometimes comes off as another form of bashing GNC women. I even see bashing where the implication is that being GNC in itself is internalised misogyny. I see GNC women accused of feeling superior all the time on the internet because people take their nonconformity as superiority without even getting to know her. I worry how that creeps into this discussion. there's a lot of take about the "not like other girls" mindset lately and there's even a lot of judgment toward GNC girls/women without a lot of understanding for their perspectives, a lot of it makes seem like its the "masculine" gnc girl's fault for harboring bad thoughts about the girls around her, and she has to unlearn internalized misogyny. many yimes GNC girls/women get accused of harboring the "not like other girls" sentiment regardless of whether or not they actually do, but people see that they're GNC or have "masculine"-coded hobbies and assume that these girls/women must have the mindset. It seems like there's a huge focus on talking about internalized misogyny in this context but almost no discussion about feminine girls/women who mistreat GNC girls/women, and almost never is that behavior framed as internalized misogyny or anything similar.
Growing up as very much a tomboy, I had this experience. I never thought anything about other girls and their hobbies- but they gossiped behind my back, teased me, used to pull pranks on me and ultimately shut me out. I never said I was "different from them", but they make me think that I was, which ultimately led to me not wanting to be associated with them. Feminine girls really aren't that welcoming and nice to the masculine ones at that age..
The not-like-other-girls jokes I see now further alienate me. It was confusing to see the same type of girls I witnessed picking on me for being GNC accusing others of internalized misogyny and all these memes that implied it was the isolated girls fault she wasn’t really being excluded! Look how friendly those girls are! Yeah no, it wasn’t like that. also this recent trend of "shipping" "not like other girl" characters is creppy to me because I would hate if people started shipping me with the type of people who literally made me want to commit suicide

I've seen comics where some teenager simply laments that she's fatter than most other girls and people accuse her of sexism and trying to appeal sexually to men somehow. I say this as someone who's very conventionally feminine specifically because of a lifetime of societal pressure and understanding that my career success can depend on how much makeup I wear, how my hair looks, how much I diet, if my clothes show off my figure. I understand how these girls are feeling and that it's not me that they hate, it's the cage of femininity that puts shackles around your brain even when you spend your days refusing to give in to it. It's always hovering over you demanding your time and energy and worry and it's exhausting. Of course there are notable examples of actual sexism occurring in this context, but most of the targets of this type of bashing are just random GNC minors.

The fact is that there are tons of children who are Gretas but they don't have the resources nor the influence. See the forest for the trees.

But what especially kills me is that in my experience the textbook "NLOG"s weren't the GNCs, they were always the very gender-conforming women who felt superior to other girls and had a bad case of the Queen Bee syndrome. In other words, the girls who had a lot of male orbiters validating their superiority and telling them that they're not like those other girls in hopes of getting laid. Growing up as a GNC woman men absolutely despised me because I wasn't the sexy kind of Cool Girl tomboy.
All in all the "NLOG" of GNCs is more of a "I feel like I'm garbage because I don't fulfill the stereotype of a woman" variety than the "I'm better than those dumb ditzy bimbos every other girl represents" one. I know I'm "not like other girls" but to me it's not something to feel good or proud about, it makes me regress to a level of a bullied 13-year old whenever a feminine woman looks down her nose at me and I wish I didn't have to deal with that shame all over again.

And ultimately, who the fuck cares? If you're going to take socially risk-taking behavior by presenting or engaging with things out of the norm, you sure as fuck need the courage and self-confidence to carry yourself after. Letting your own mental confidence be affected by the vapid, socially conditioned opinions of others makes you look weak and without sincere conviction.

>>519410Coronaviruses can cause flu-like infections. And they caused the SARS outbreak. They can cause anything from something like the common cold to pneumonia. This one is similar to the flu in the sense that it really depends on the health of the infected person and whether they have access to good treatment.
Obviously I'm not saying we shouldn't care, but things like this need to be dealt with calmly because panic just makes people stupid and exacerbates everything. Freaking out is pretty much never the answer. It's a hassle when everybody is going looney tunes and hospital staff have to deal with it. Practice good hand hygiene, catch your coughs and sneezes in a tissue and then bin it and call the health authorities if you genuinely believe you might have the illness.
The reason people are panicking is because this is a new strain of an old virus and they're not 100% sure how it will affect people yet. People are being overly cautious because we can be nowadays, not because it's the end of the world. It's easier than ever to share information, spread awareness, pinpoint carriers, map out their days and isolate possibly infected people. They're doing it because it's better to be safe than sorry, at least until they discover long term effects and statistics.
Schools, public areas and offices do go on lockdown for other illnesses, such as norovirus. European hospitals will close bays with anybody infectious in them, regardless of whether or not the infection is thought to be fatal. It's a standard precaution with anything that spreads easily and they've pumped it up for coronavirus because it's new.

when you actively seek out other people to look at, that's a bit different- BUT that's not even the main reason most of us have with porn. the thing about porn is that it's degrading and disgusting and warps men's view of women and sexuality. my boyfriend had super fucked up ideas of sex (like wanting me to drink used c*m out of condoms, not being able to sustain an erection, not wanting to lessen his porn intake etc). if you think a man seeing a woman on the street he thinks is pretty is the same thing as him watching "teen anal gangbang" everyday you're just a moron, sorry.

It's just a continuum of the high school narrative, it's the GNC girl who just has a bad attitude and it's her own fault for being such a prejudiced hermit, these girls would like her if she just gave them a chance!!
Nope. Women can be bad people. Women can be shallow and mean. It doesn't make me less of a feminist to admit this. The vapid girls who made fun of me for being GNC were little shitheads and I don't have to forgive them for it just because someone wants to fetishize the dynamic. These girls will never be held accountable for their own implementation of misogyny against women who don't fulfill the female stereotype.

the bullied being accused of internalized misogyny when in reality the setup has the gender-conforming archetypal mean girls being misogynous for ostracizing a GNC girl for not being feminine enough. I think a lot of GNC farmers can relate to this and know how out of proportion the bullying can be for the simple sin of being a tomboy or just not being fashionable.
>I remember how common it was in the 00's to think 'X group of people (but especially women) bad' before they did anything bad to you, just cause they were looking like a Barbie (or a Stacy), a nerd etc. I'm glad this idea is being rejected now.It's really not. It still happens. Even as adults you get a ton of vapid mean girls badmouthing women who are "beckies" so it's not just an imaginary hollywood high school setting that can be solved by telling the GNC representative that she should just wake up and see how ~nice~ these girls actually are.

TBH I think you truly do need therapy for your Stacy hate. Shitty girls bullied you, it's fair to be angry at them, you don't have to forgive. You sound like you project your issues on all feminine women and even an innocent meme which is not healthy at all.
The original meme wasn't even about shitting on Stacies cause they were cruel, just on their look and hobbies and making yourself feel better cause ~you are not liks the other girls~, so your argument makes even less sense to me.

And they have the audacity to be suing YouTube for demonetizing them for inappropriate content yet they have always had clickbait thumbnails where they're nearly nude/topless. Also Bria's music is pretty boring too IDK how she became so popular. They just seem in general kind of manipulative and strange and Chrissy has some major issues.

You're calling him a lolicon based off of one instance of him saying he loved pic related in the 60s that you found on /ic/, but I guess that's your unpopular opinion so you're entitled to it.

My unpopular opinion is that people should not be allowed to have any more than 3 children. It's insane.
I love kids and want them one day but fuck the amount of mummy bloggers that have over 4 kids and complain about having no free time. Plus this sounds autistic and clinical but I believe unless you live in a rural farm town with strict religion, it's impossible to raise a large family of sound quality humans. I came from a huge family and although I did my best at school, I could have achieved more with a tutor or even more one on one time with my parents. I was lost amongst a number.
It's quantity of quality with some of these damn people. STOP having so many damn kids if all you do is complain!
No. 521362
>>521283I never understood why having a lot of kids is a goal for some people.
Maybe this has been said before in past threads, but I think they should make having children as difficult as it is adopting children. There are a lot of retards who shouldn’t be parents.
No. 521363
>>521362Actually, I thought it was a bit like Idiocracy the movie, the poorer/dumber people reproduce way too much while the career driven / smarter one tend to not do that. That is if you don't take religion into account.
That definitely checks out with all the kids I went to middle/high school with. Those who dropped out sooner tended to get married and / or make several kids. All the others that have pursued career and studies have yet to have kids or only have 1/2.

>>522193Kind of on a similar note, I don't understand how some people keep up with these types of untranslated franchises. Feels like you have to keep up with several different people all translating different things on several different blogs. I think it's too much work and too much of a time investment.
I know some people who will play an untranslated mobile gacha game every day and then go hunting for translations for some event that happened last week. It's always for some bland idol/otome game too, there are plenty of idol/otome games that are officially translated so I don't understand why they don't play one of those instead.

- in my teenage year there was this "invocation game" where you would call a spirit called Diana (not related to the princess at all). Someone would kneel in front of you reciting the incantation and asking the spirit to lift your arms. Two people had to stand on your sides. You had to close your eyes. One of my friend did it on me - I did feel my arms lift but that was definitely just the power of suggestion. I tried it on my sister, forgot to mention the lift arm bit to her and she did not have the same effect.
- one night with friends, we watch this horror movie bloody mary. Supposedely if you turn on yourself 3 times calling bloody mary at a mirror, at the light of only a candle in a bathroom, she will appear in the mirror. I tried it and you guessed it, nothing appeared. I had a friend who said she tried at home and saw a figure. I put it down to trick played by light/shadow and her own state - self convinced and scared on her own.
- supposedly we lived in a haunted house with my family - man died of horrific long disease in a bed in the house. My brother claimed he saw an old man walking around, other people kept telling us they saw "a figure". There was 7 of us at home, we all lived there at the time, could be anyone of us at anytime.
- re haunted house : dad worked night shift and would go to bed earlier than us. Once woke up and bolted in a room where all my 4 siblings and I were watching some movie. He said one of us came into his room to speak and woke him up. He was kinda mad, needed his sleep. Sure dad but we were all together all that time so no. I think he was just dreaming, he always have vivid nightmare (he has ptsd from war soooooo).
- re haunted house : only me, my sister and mum at home. Mum is upstairs doing her hair. We are downstairs in the garage playing with the cat. She calls us suddenly, shaken and scared. She asked why we are playing a prank on her, we're nasty kid blah blah. She heard a moan that sounded like someone in deep pain and thought we were trying to scare her. It was certainly not us. We live in a semi detached house sooooo I guess noise travel a lot. We have old sick neighbours, might be them
- after so many supposedly weird things, my brother, who loves to scare us, decides to hold a ouija type seance one night. Parents are out and he babysits. We do a makeshift board and call whatever spirit my brother believes is there. The makeshift planchet (a piece of wood), does move. Anyone of us could have moved it though and claim it wasn't them. I think brother was just trying to get us entertained lol. Letters spelled don't make any sense.
That's what I can think of on top of my head. I've plenty more occurrences/experiences, first and second hand but I always seem to find explanations for it all.

He was highly secretive about it for years and in contact with other cp lovers online. He also had a sister who was sexually abused as a child and witnessed the affect that had on her and his family..

Bringing it up once or twice was ok for shock factor but now they use it almost like a pun.

It's super easy to tell Asian people apart compared to white people. Honestly I don't know how to put it into words but it's super easy to tell Chinese/Japanese/Korean apart. Japanese especially stand out from the other two. I think it has something to do with the different migrations into Japan. Read about the Ainu sometime, it's fascinating. The Mongolian woman here is very interesting too and easy to tell apart, she looks almost like a North American native, which makes sense because of the close proximity and migration paths.
As a certified white as fuck person, in image related it's definitely nearly impossible to tell the difference between the European women. I think this might have to do with how close all European countries are together?

I was born and raised in France and despite not even being of European origins and being kinda face blind I can see the difference between Europeans depending on their countries, it's obvious, it's just a matter of exposure. Not that the "asians all look alike" isn't bullshit but I can see why some people wouldn't notice differences.
This actually reminds me of when I started living abroad and people just can't guess my origins at all because they're just not from the same continents at all so they try to guess the most random answers possible, meanwhile people from my ethnic group can straight up guess which tribes I'm from and I can also do it easily for them.

>>528072The fact that they tend to have different ways of styling themselves somewhat helps. From what I've seen, Japanese makeup/hair is pretty distinct from Korean and Chinese.
>>528233>when I started living abroad and people just can't guess my origins at all because they're just not from the same continents at all so they try to guess the most random answers possible, meanwhile people from my ethnic group can straight up guess which tribes I'm from and I can also do it easily for them. It's really subjective.I can relate to this a lot. Personally, I do have trouble telling most ethnicities of my own race apart, though. Different strokes.

>>528235ausfag here too, dunno if it's cause we're a super "new" country (I like this, forget we're a fetus compared to like imperial china and shit) and really multicultural but it's easy to tell. to a point, anyway. have to concentrate mostly on what language they're speaking to be able to really pick it, it's hard by just physical appearance otherwise.
>>528402I think they might be referring to ulzzang and it's popularity. the whole glass skin trend? would be interested to hear about some chinese makeup trends ngl
No. 529005
>>528342>Japanese makeup/hair is pretty distinct from Korean and Chinese.I think Koreans are most obvious when it comes to styling. When they have a popular trend, it is absolutely ubiquitous worldwide. So you just know that group of guys with bowl cuts and glasses or girls with white foundation and gradient lips are Korean. I think Japanese people are more obvious because of their bone structure, it's a little more angular/strong imo. Their styling can be super obvious (esp old fashioned stuff like host hair) but not always.
I don't think Chinese people look any particular way but they're the ones I see all the time, it's more a process of elimination with them. If someone doesn't look especially Korean or Japanese, they're probably Chinese considering the demographics of my country.
No. 529162
>>528402It's hard to explain without raw exposure, but IMO, Korean fashion is a bit more oriented to fit the mould of western trends, while Japanese fashion does take inspiration from the west, but only in the most laid-back and casual sense. The latter is usually a little off-beat in structure, while Korean fashion is more of a remix of what's already available (which might be why K-pop bands/idols seem to have more appeal to the west). Chinese (normie) fashion straight-up just looks like whatever's trendy in the west, not too much deviation.
Korean makeup often accentuates the fat underneath one's eyes (aegyo sal), square eyebrows are very common, gradient/red lips, very contoured noses, V-line jaw surgery isn't very uncommon, super pale foundation, and there's overall a more artificial, "done up" look.
Chinese makeup follows most of the same conventions, but I see less of the V-line thing going on, eyebrows are more sculpted, and they use less blush.
Japanese makeup is a bit less flashy, and often done to look natural with a light pinkish color for lips, more liberal use of blush, and an occasional pop of eyeshadow. Not as much pressure to have a V-line face, just a normal oval.
For hair, Koreans and Chinese are more likely to show their foreheads or only have wispy bangs, while Japanese hairstyle trends still seem to favor thick bangs.
This is all just based off my own observations, both IRL and in media.

>>526699I don't get the appeal either and find them straight up ugly/abhorrent to look at. Maybe it's entertaining to some but that exaggerated rude 'bitch' behaviour they put on isn't worthy of any respect. Kinda vomit inducing when people unironically refer to these plastic clowns as "she".
I don't care if there is or isn't a divide between drag and fetishistic crossdressing, it's all weird deviant shit that should stay between intimate partners in the bedroom, not turned into 'culture'. The only message drag queens have to express is that they are huge faggots, isn't that the point?
No. 529448
>>529325Agreed. I have yet to see a healthy polygamous relationship and they always follow the same pattern.
>One narcissistic person acting as the "main" hub gets bored with their SO and instead of dumping them, they decide to get another partner on the side.>SO is too weak minded to protest this because they're afraid of being left alone so they agree to this setting.>The main person and the new side partner are head over heels about each other and ignore the original SO during their honeymoon phase, going on long tirades about how polygamy is the best thing they have ever experienced and everything works out fine as long as you ~communicate~.>The original, weaker SO holds silent resentment, might try getting a side partner themselves but the narc main person always jeopardizes it by being immensely jealous and possessive themselves.>At some point the original SO has had enough and leaves, the main person is shaken by this sudden loss of power and either a.) continues a monogamous relationship with the new partner or b.) gets rid of them altogether, trying to win the old one back or c.) gets a second new partner to join their relationship and to exploit, and the pattern will repeat itself with the original side partner.Happens with EVERY poly relationship I've ever seen.
No. 529509
>>529448I don't understand why there are no forms of polygamy where everyone involved wants to be together. Like a group of friends, but they're all in love. I'd be more accepting of it if that's how things worked, but instead, it's the exact scenario you mentioned.
It's just one-sided, broken and sad for it to just be one person with multiple partners just for themselves.
No. 529537
>>529509Pair bonding systems do not chemically work like that.
They either work on the principle that there is little to no investment of parents, so there will be little to zero pair bonding, or that there will be a higher parental investment, which pair bonding reinforces.
There is no equivalent system when you start involving multiple "parents".
No. 529540
>>529509>where everyone involved wants to be together. Like a group of friends, but they're all in loveI don't think that such a thing is possible. There will always be one person that each of them will like more, and want to invest their time/feelings in more. There will be jealousy and hard feelings, if said person is more into someone else in the "group", or if they have to compete with someone else for their attention.
I don't think it's humanly possible to be actually in love with more people at once.
If even parents have a favorite kid, why would something like this work?
No. 529562

No. 530090
>>530077It makes no sense. Usually "femcel" seems to be used to be used to speak about women who complain about men, but it's really very different than men just being resentful that they can't get a 10/10 and hating women for no reason, for not choosing them. All women can get a boyfriend, so it just doesn't make any sense. Women who choose not to be with men because, as a trend, men are served in relationships while women are drained abused, abandoned, are emotionally traumatized, taken for a ride, etc etc, just makes sense and doesn't make anyone a femcel. There's no possible female counterpart to being an incel.
No. 530092
>>530077Yeah, I agree. In my experience, 99% of the people who try and use it as an insult really do turn out to be male.
I think most actual women who are familiar with these things realize "femcels" don't exist as an entity parallel to incels, because men aren't really difficult to attain at all. When left to their own devices, they even fuck watermelons and fall in love with fictional characters to the point of attempting to legally marry them. Literally anyone can get a guy, so there's no straight female equivalent to inceldom.
"Femcels" just seem like women who don't want to put up with men treating them like shit just to have a relationship, but are also unwilling or hesitant to go through the usual "r/FemaleDatingStrategy" motions.
No. 530134
>>529733That shit isn't medically necessary. You are breaking your perfect healthy nose because you want it at a slightly different angle or to be slightly smaller. You are injecting poison into your face. It takes a lot of insecurity and self-hate to do shit like that. Just because the industry normalized it and is making buck off your insecurities doesn't make it ok.
>Not being discriminated against is a human right and it’s a simply truth that almost everywhere the more attractive a woman is, the more opportunities and available to them. Studies have even shown that people are inherently biased towards hiring more attractive candidates when asked to choose between two equally qualified candidates.Oh, come on. That doesn't happen often enough and is not a proper reason to break your face. Yes attractive people have an advantage but you are severely overblowing it due to your inferiority complex. I assure you that's a bigger threat to how your perceived rather than your nose
I consider braces to be fine if it's a medical necessary. I needed to get them when I was younger because my teeth were all sorts of fucked up and growing into each other. I wouldn't had more pain if I left them the way they were. I don't think adult braces are for that purpose though

>As for patients’ presumed reluctance to report childhood abuse, I witnessed in every one of my 15 alleged cases of DID (all female) not reluctance but a strong tendency to flaunt their diagnosis and symptoms and an eagerness to re-tell their stories with graphic detail, usually unprovoked.I'm trying to take this seriously, but this isn't clinical in the least, and reads a lot like the author's somewhat angry, but verbose opinion piece. He seems to be using anecdotal evidence as the primary meat of his argument, rather than actual data, he doesn't go into detail on most of the external content he cites (most likely because they don't say exactly the things he's trying to argue, though I'd have to go through everything in his bibliography to be sure), he kind of flitters around the subjectivity of various mental health related terms (and he essentially admits this argument can basically be used to unravel all of psychiatry).
Interesting that he mentions Africa, considering there are case studies of people in at least one African country having dissociative disorders.
Zimbabwe, Sudan and Somalia aren't exactly up to par with their mental health fields for a lot of reasons, and I'm sure he knows that, so it strikes me as intellectually dishonest, if not laughable, for him to make that point. It kind of reminds me of "Depression and eating disorders are such first world problems. People in African countries (or any other poor part of the world) have actual problems, so they never deal with that" argument.
The author also links to the False Memory Syndrome Foundation as a resource.
That makes him even seem less trustworthy, considering the background of that group, and the fact that False Memory Syndrome is not a condition recognized by experts, neither has it ever been accepted in the DSM. To expand on the first point, when they existed, their entire MO was to target CSA
victims, regardless of DID diagnoses. One of their most controversial board members was a literal pedophile apologist, who has acted as the defense in several child sex abuse cases. For him to link to such an organization as a resource, while also arguing "Nonbelievers, skeptics, and opponents would gain nothing if DID disappeared from DSM today or in 2012." and making points about conflicts of interests (the origins of FMSF absolutely scream "conflict of interest", and not because of the example I just mentioned) is extremely dodgy. Here are some more in-depth links on the FMSF:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory_syndrome#Skepticism_of_the_theoryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_Memory_Syndrome_Foundationhttps://news.isst-d.org/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-false-memory-syndrome-foundation/https://themighty.com/2019/12/false-memory-syndrome-foundation-folds/https://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/articles/birrellfreyd04.pdfThe last link in particular is interesting, because it touches on some of the issues I noticed with the think piece you linked to, as well, mainly the strange, almost accusatory focus on women.
Here's a less biased link examining the validity of DID, based on a review of existing evidence:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0272735899000732Also, here's a link to a study on psychobiological responses in relation to DID:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S000632230600388XAnother study on DID that includes psychobiological data. The article you linked seems to rely on the fantasy model, but the results of this study present no support for it, but for the trauma model:

>>530362Can I ask for the content that lead you to that conclusion? Another post mentioned the YouTuber DissociaDID, which is sort of funny, because the original anon said it was those who actually believe DID exists that tend to use YouTube as a source.
Assuming you don't get this idea from people on the internet being retarded and co-opting all sorts of mental issues to decorate themselves, would you mind linking to some reliable articles that compare the umbrella of dissociative disorders and DID, and come to the same conclusion of there being zero similarities? I'm genuinely interested in getting all sides of this topic.
>>530356Controversy kind of means the opposite of "Most experts disbelieve it", though. It means it's heavily discussed and debated, as it should be.
For it to end up in the DSM, it would have to be recognized as having validity to its existence in the first place by several experts, not a handful some antivaxxer-tier dullards picketing.
The issues with homosexuality being in the DSM and gender dysphoria being removed from the DSM are reliant on social recognition, not in the accuracy of the DSM in observing phenomena.
A better example might be the earlier days when women would be institutionalized for "female hysteria" with reckless abandon, but even that term was just a very fucked up catch-all for any "peculiar" symptoms a woman might exhibit in that society, not some made up concept that didn't exist.

If you're gonna hear about it among normies over here it's going to be women and gay guys who grew up watching it. I also watched Martin Mystère, which was a way weirder show if we're complaining about fetishes in kid's cartoons
because of Martin and Diana being tsundere for each other and love interests in the original comics and being turned into half-siblings to be more appealing to children, but they forgot to remove the super obvious sexual tension between them. Both shows were popular with girls but boys were more likely to prefer Martin Mystère.
