>>625277That's the point. They're skinny, but they have softness to their bodies. Hip pads and breast pads so their bodies look natural and "healthy" instead of wasted.
90s/2000s thin was about being lean to the bone and muscular. All sharp edges, all bone, no softness or else it's "gross baby fat".
Think of it as feminine vs masculine (or androgynous). Think about why they wear that padding. It's not for nothing, the intended image and effect is completely different.

>>625722NTA, but in the western world most pregnancies are planned and avoidable, and a good portion of the western population has access not only to the resources used to prevent conception but also the resources (conditionally, it admittedly isn't an easy process) to get an abortion or to get a surgical procedure which will render one infertile. Anon's sentiment shouldn't apply to the entire world, but those who
do have access to those resources and choose to have a child only to not adequately raise the child or to complete about being a parent are (subjectively, of course) making an unwise and immoral decision that warrants judgement, in that they are bringing another life into the world that they aren't ready to care for or don't want to care for.
No. 625735
Samefag - I guess an unpopular opinion of mine is that communal parenting is the optimal form of parenting, and members of every culture should raise and care for every child around them as if it's their own. This would solve a lot of issues, particularly for families and children who experience a lack of financial stability or economic opportunity, have a parent who becomes incapacitated, or need to be taken care of by others because their parent was impregnated against their will and wanted to get contraceptives and/or an abortion but didn't have access to the necessary resources. I agree with

Like, what was the point of that? Or once, someone was venting that their dog went missing and that they were staying up every night literally vomiting worried sick about them , and someone went off on them for allowing it to happen.

No. 626755
>>626729Right, but they're painting these
abusive men to all be 150 IQ machiavellian psychopaths with a doctorate in behavioral psychology. And when I talk to these same men, I just see overcompensating boring people with anger issues.
I just wish these women could admit they're terrible at picking men, it'd help them be more self aware when getting into future relationships and they'd avoid all this stuff they needlessly put themselves through. Instead they get coddled with the narrative "you couldn't have known", they believe it, and refuse to reflect on their own judgement.
No. 626761
>>626755>>626750But do you guys realize they're like that because of the abuse going on during the relationship? Not to mention any possible prior abuse, mental illnesses or even just being insecure. I'm really not trying to pick a fight, but obviously women in
abusive relationships who chose to stay or have a pattern of being with
abusive men are not of mentally ok. The first anon literally said the woman was codependent on her bf. Plus the fact that sometimes the abuser can hold things over the
victims head (money or blackmail for example). I feel like there's to much that goes into these
abusive relationships to just say "well why doesn't she leave or stop dating guys who are
abusive".
I think it's strange you guys think a woman of sound mind would chose to stay in relationships with
abusive men. They obviously have bad judgement.
No. 626764
>>626761Having bad judgement, being insecure etc would be a ‘character flaw/personal failing’ though. And it’s not that simple that it just magically all starts because of the relationship, like I feel like if you would even allow yourself to be in a position where someone
can hold money over you head to blackmail you that’s extremely stupid on your end. It doesn’t make them any less
victims but there’s definitely things they could have and should have done differently to prevent it. The majority of people in
abusive relationships are not mentally ill to that extent where they’re incapable of being responsible for their actions and decisions.
No. 626767
>>626763Idk which op you're talking about but I don't think my post is what any of those anons were saying. If I'm wrong though, then my bad.
>>626764Again though, this all happens cause these women are not of sound mind. I didn't say that they "magically" gain those issues because of the relationship. Yes, sometimes women have issue BEFORE they enter an
abusive relationship, and that contributes to the fact that they pick horrible men. And after the relationship they usually have more issues than before.
No. 626768
>>626755I think it’s weird that if someone kept entering and staying in friendships where they were being abused everyone would rightfully call them an idiot and question why a grown adult would keep making these decisions but when it’s a woman in an
abusive relationship we’re supposed to just never question it and coddle them about how they ‘never could have known’ and that ‘there’s nothing they could have done’ when there almost always was something that could be done.
No. 626770
>>626767Okay but in most cases of people ‘not being in sound mind’ unless they’re like clinically insane people still consider them responsible for their own actions and decisions. Most women and people in general do, have, or will struggle with mental illness in some capacity and most still don’t enter
abusive relationships. There is obviously some degree of personal responsibility and personal failure in these women’s actions.
No. 626773
>>626764In my experience there's usually some fucked up self-hate thing going on where she can semi-subconsciously tell the guy will be
abusive that's why she chooses to date him because she has low self-esteem. If you try and set her up with a guy who's not an obvious shithead she's not interested since she lowkey thinks she doesn't deserve a non-painful relationship. Same goes for men who can't stop dating women with cluster-b personality disorders over and over again. They p much seek these partners out. Almost like outsourcing self-harm. Sad stuff.

abusive scrote for the literal 15th time and we all have to pretend that she isn't complicit in her own suffering. Women who stay in

abusive people for as long as they do because they like the attention or are romance sick by shitty media that tells them that they're only doing it because they wub them. People throw away their integrity for the pettiest reasons. I knew a guy that knowingly entered a sexually exploitative relationship with a known abuser simply because they were in the same fandom and shared a fetish.
Some people are so starved for affection and attention that they'll knowingly kowtow to abuse just to pick at the scraps of 'love' they get afterward. It's a win-win for them. On one end, they get to be seen as the blameless
victim and never called out for their lack of self-esteem. On the other, they still get to sop up the few crumbs of validation their
abusive partner throws their way. Even when the relationship ends, they'll either go on to another abuser or sabotage a relationship with a good person because they aren't used to not being treated like shit.

Men get shit on for having no standards and fucking anything that will give them the time of day. Rightly so. But I've realized just as many women have zero standards.
Every day on any number of boards, social media and all that, I see women saying, "Omg my bf is so perfect and I adore him except for the teeny tiny fact that he beats me/calls me a dumbass/fucked my best friend/steals my money/jerks off to porn all day/is a slob and lets me mommy him. But I love him so much how can we work it out!??!"
Women are legitimately asking these questions as if they deserve a microsecond of consideration. If that's what they want to settle for, they lack self respect as much as men who fuck STD-ridden troglodytes, but at least guys get what they want and move on. The women keep enduring abuse because they're THAT desperate for even the smallest measure of affection. We're on a board fucking dedicated to the worst of womankind, yet so many people here seem to have a mental disconnect and believe women are morally superior somehow.
Nah. The majority of people on this entire planet are desperate and dumb as fuck, regardless of sex. Everyone needs to love themselves more or some shit.

>>627153Women irl do not get shat on for having standards. This literally only happens with incels. I feel like most normie women express very having high/specific standards but the in reality end up accepting a lot less, kind of like with men.
>Meanwhile it is socially acceptable for men to fuck as many women he considers "trash" and then settle down with a virgin stacy.What world do you live in? Obviously I agree the social/physical (pregnancy) repercussions of casual sex are harsher for women but some older man after having a slew of casual relationships expecting a ‘virgin Stacy’ would be a laughing stock to any woman and most men outside of manosphere online spaces. Normal men find virgin women older than 20 pretty weird anyway it’s not particularly a desirable thing and it’s even a dealbreaker for some of them. I feel like so much of what women say about ‘men‘ here is often only applicable to like men on /r9k/ and sound like they’ve never met a man irl in their life.

never usually get into this because it seems genuinely unpopular, but from what i've seen, truly actually genetically blessed + cultured + well groomed, well bathed men (especially in past decades, i feel like younger men today overall look shittier and aren't as "well made" kek) truly do physically look their best in their 30s. i do not like how juvenile men in their 20s, and god forbid literal teenage boys look, plus they are not mentally matured at all typically. a very small amount seem to physically look the best even in their early 40s. but i also think women look the best in their early 30s so it's not that i think uwu old men so hawt women hit the wall XDD i guess i just prefer more chiseled matured faces, more stable people and i'm just not into the overly youthful look on anyone when it comes to being actually sexually attracted to them. i'm also not a teenager so i cannot stomach the thought of finding any 16-19 year olds of any gender "hot" or sexually desirable. and to clarify again, i'm not talking about your typical ugly beerbelly losers, my comments about men strictly apply to above average, aware of their appearance, well educated non hopeless males (which i know are very scarce, but i've seen a few.)

>>627893This reminded me of my ex and his weirdly relaxed attitude to spreading vomiting bugs. I woke up one Xmas morning a few years back and said goodbye to him as he was heading to his parents house with his son to celebrate the holidays. I had planned on going to see my own family but within an hour of waking I was hit with the worst stomach bug I've ever had. Spent Xmas day and two more days after that alone and camped out on the bathroom floor unable to even keep water in me. Both ends, glorious. I texted him to let him know and for the first day he somehow read that description and thought I was exaggerating and that I simply had anxiety type nausea??
After a couple days he was due to come home bringing the son too and I told him I was still very symptomatic and afraid I was contagious. I advised he stay with his parents a couple more days and said I'd disinfect everything in our apartment once I was feeling better and before his return…but nope he came home early with the son. The three of us shared one bathroom.. he even took a long shower one day and let me nearly knock the door down in desperation before he came out
His son (12) woke up with pain in his stomach the next morning and rather than heading to the bathroom he came in to wake us up, tell us about it and then he proceeded to projectile vomit all over our bed. The next day he was still having symptoms but felt well enough to go out to a cafe and an arcade with the dad…? The day after that he had symptoms still and the dad dropped him back to his moms house where his other siblings including a 3 year old all caught it and were in bits for a week. I have no idea why it's so hard to just prevent spreading something like a stomach bug in particular. Stay home and let it fucking pass. Who even wants to risk public vomiting or shitting yourself? I was happy to isolate myself for a week and see it through alone

They're not even extreme Muslims, they're just weird about girls just living their lives in a normal way.
I was always aware of how fucked up the internet is because I grew up with teachers warning us about very real issues like how giving too much info about your personal life and real identity can get you in trouble with stalkers, pedophiles, and later on with you bosses at work but I was such a dumb repressed teen I learned English just so I could read super vulgar slash fics and talk to other nerds on livejournal. Now the internet is so normalized that kids and teenagers don't receive that education anymore, I guess it's up to totally clueless parents to teach them online etiquette and how to stay safe.
I don't know if I will 100% relate to the main characters but with how little accurate and respectful representation French girls and women of African origins get in French media I don't care anymore, I want to see more stuff about us.

Can't you just report it and go? If Netflix didn't want to remove it after multiple complaints, people were still given like half a month or something to forget about it, spam it with shitty reviews on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes and let it fade into obscurity and fail (as it should, if it's so disturbing), but they're still going.

And French people in general has a love-hate relationship with the USA, it's really nothing personal. On twitter the main complaint from French people I've seen in the whole controversy around Cuties is that Americans have mini-miss contests and if anything they should be able to draw parallels between the movie and their own pop culture instead of shitting on the movie like that shit doesn't happen in both countries. Let's be real, both countries have flaws when it comes to how children are treated.

Charli D'Amelio is around these girls' age (14-ish) and she does dances on camera in a bikini. How is that different? I do not recall any of these having such a huge backlash. Those forms of media just allow this sexualization to exist. Charli D'Amelio has been featured on talk shows, and Jake Paul is just dismissed as some idiot youtuber. This film at least makes a point about it - it's a story about social acceptance when coming from a conservative background, and the emotional turmoil that results from that, as well as the fact that this particular group of young girls who are at the cusp of being adolescents are so eager to "adult" themselves that the only way that they can bond is through acting like full-grown women, which they obviously are not.

>The council launches several media campaigns a year against the producers and advertisers of television programs they perceive to be indecent. A typical campaign involves press releases declaring a particular program harmful (often with a list of "unacceptable" character behavior or situations), the organized mass mailing of form letters and emails to advertising sponsors of unapproved programs, organized mass filing of complaints via the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website complaint form, and direct threats of long, potentially costly FCC license challenges to local network affiliates planning to broadcast what the council considers harmful network programming.

I feel like there's inherently a catch 22 about the whole thing, it would be difficult to disturb people with reality if you also want to avoid appealing to sickos.

No. 629919
>>629912>the fallacy of relative privationI get what you're saying, I'm sure there's virtue signalling taking place as there's always those kinds of people. But I've watched society degrade over the past decades and am concerned about all of those things. This movie although thinly veiled as an insight into childhood sexualisation literally sexualises the actresses at the behest of profiting adults. Children on tiktok are secondarily groomed into sexualising
themselves by watching older, more popular accounts. Which is obviously sad, and wrong (their parents should be monitoring them more). But Cuties was written by adults, for children to portray content that far surpasses their age group, which they are barred from watching themselves despite having a role in the film.
Just because children aren't necessarily as innocent as they once were doesn't mean we should lay on the adult concepts thick so they can do our activism for us. Exposing children to sexual concepts at a young age is exactly how grooming functions and it is literally in the very definition of CSA. Why is that morally acceptable because the premise of the movie allegedly seeks to condemn the phenomena? The outcome is still the same regardless of what strings you attach. You can't disavow pedophila whilst making fap material for pedophiles, nor can you deny responsibility for compromising children for the sake of a message.
The fact this movie is even available to a large audience is indicative of the times. (And yes, I understand if children weren't growing up so fast the film wouldn't physically exist. I just don't think we should give up on innocence in its entirety, or simply because concepts that should have been handled delicately weren't). The end doesn't justify the means.

>>630148One thing I wish was brought to American audiences was the concept of respect for items though. It's been a while since I read the book but I THINK I remember a passage about how in Shintoism, inanimate objects still have spirits and Marie's grandmother took great care of each item in the house, cleaning and dusting it. It seems like the only concept that could be digested by American audiences was "If it doesn't make you happy, trash it!" but nothing about showing respect for your items, and by extension, yourself, by cleaning and organizing. The number of things you own really isn't a factor. I definitely get that the spiritual aspect just doesn't apply to everyone, but I'm always so grossed out seeing my friend's anime figures for example covered in a cake of dust. You paid so much for it and love it so much but can't keep it clean? It's disrespectful to the time you spent working to pay for it, and by extension disrespectful to yourself.
So I guess I agree that just trashing stuff has no value, but what does have value is a lot harder to teach.

Somewhat related, but I hate people describing someone as having a 'puncheable face'. First of all, what kind of psychos feel the urge to punch people based on their looks? Second of all, there's no specific look or trait that could be described as 'puncheable'. I see it used almost exclusively for women, particularly women who aren't particularly conventionally attractive but aren't ugly enough to warrant a normal insult.

When a man says it however, I'm wary because it's usually code for "I'm going to paw at you constantly and not do much else because other types of love language take active effort and all I care about is my base pee pee desires."

>>631673Because men just aren't raised and conditioned to be homemakers or feel pride in it, so it's likely the case they really are just bumming at home. Instead of doing chores, spending quality time with the kids, preparing meals, or really doing any kind of thoughtful domestic management.
I can't think of one instance where an acquaintance had a "SAHH" willingly…it was usually because he got fired from his job or quit suddenly. Tbh whenever I hear a guy is stay at home I assume he's low effort and is putting his woman through hell trying to support him.

>>631711>In one or two years the IT market will become completely saturated and it will cause a crash and burn of that sectorThis has been said for at least 10 years by now and it still hasn't happened. A good share of companies quit outsourcing to countries with cheap IT labor (like India) because they realized how costly it is in the long run compared to developing it locally, especially because user interfaces have been improving in leaps and they can't be done for
your native clients by some random engineer in Delhi. Outsourcing can be done for busywork that a bunch of underpaid borderline code slaves can stitch together but it's limited to Big Companies with massive amounts of data. The clientele today is much more varied, everyone from Average Joe's Car Parts Store to the biggest retail chains depends on it. Saying "the IT market will crash and burn" is like saying "the house building market will crash and burn". It's not going to happen, people need IT solutions more than ever because it's now an integral part of our society. It's not like people will just suddenly say "this IT shit is stupid, let's go back to paper and pens".
And just because you can write a simple application doesn't mean you can actually code your way to an actual profession. That's why I wouldn't recommend people to go into it just for the money. Programming is a hard career and it's not for everyone hoping to make a buck, you constantly have to learn new things, crunch modes are more of the norm than an exception, you're required to know multiple technologies
and design just to start your career, you need to be available at all times and be able to function under tremendous amounts of stress at times. Nowadays it also requires good people skills as most projects are done in teams with constant communication. Plenty of people quit because they just can't handle it and developers tend to have a short shelf life due to all these issues. Good money =/= Good job. It took me years to get my foot in the door (admittedly partially due to being woman) and more years to reach a seniority level where I don't feel like dying every time I'm assigned a new task, but it's still worth to me personally and to me there are no signs of the the market collapsing in decades. You just have to keep ahead the trends and develop a good eye for what's the next direction the market is going to go to.

"I'm 28 and unmarried, my life is over!" etc. It's a vicious cycle because if a young girl hears shit like that from other women, she will internalize it and act the same way when she turns whatever arbitrary age is supposed to be bad.
Anyway shit like that is good reason to be loud and proud when you feel happiness and confidence as you age, to try and break that cycle. It's complete nonsense and most women grow out of it, but it would save girls in their 20s a lot of wasted time worrying about nothing.
No. 632124
>>632109>it would save girls in their 20s a lot of wasted time worrying about nothing.Exactly. So many girls go neurotic over worrying about aging and not "achieving enough". They assume that at 25 you have to have a good degree just so you can get your career started soon enough to securely start pushing out babies at 30, then live out your life for 20 years juggling between work and your family until you can start having hobbies and interests again. Shit like that isn't expected from men at all and it's no wonder so many women in their 20's are panicking over it because it's being enforced everywhere.
30-40 year old women are just sort of forgotten and pushed away, like Nicole Kidman speaking up about how she was prepared for her every role to be her last because nobody wants to hire actresses past 28 and Liv Tyler saying that by your mid 30s the only roles available are just wives or moms, secondary characters with no real purpose. We should aim to collectively break that cycle and assure younger women that no, their life doesn't end at 30, they can wear the shit they want and keep their dumb hobbies if they bring them joy. Even in fandom spaces older men are looked up as wise mature daddies uwu but older women are seen as weirdos who should get a life and I shake my head whenever girls in their early 20s buy into this stupid meme and start forcing it themselves.

>>632170A lot of women have children because they feel that's what they're supposed to do. That's the point. Also even though a career woman for example has kids it shouldn't be the identity and focusing point for them, you can focus on talking about their successes without making it from the "here's how she combined work life and family" standpoint. Like female politicians are always asked about their pregnancies, husbands and kids, not their actual achievements. Like pic related is what you get when you google search Kamala Harris.
No. 632189
>>632178Nobody's saying "all women have kids only because they've been conditioned to do so". You're intentionally misunderstanding the point. The point is that women are consistently
expected to settle down, give up their own life and start living for their families. Some women do it out of their own ambition, but there are plenty of women who have their passions elsewhere but are too afraid to pursue them due to societal pressure.
>Most men want kids too and there’s supposedly not as much pressure for them. For men children are more of a status symbol than something they're expected to cherish and live for anyway. It's a reoccurring and well known problem that many women are stuck in a relationship where the man is dragging his feet when it comes to having kids because "he's not ready yet".
>don’t see why career women talking about their experience balancing a career and family is ‘pressuring’ other women to do the same. Because there are no alternatives. As tumblrish as it sounds, representation matters. When the only stories you see revolve around this settling down idea you start stressing out if you should follow suite like all the idealized people you read about. Even if it's just the people in magazines it still affects the way you view the world around them.
It's also
not only about the pressure of having kids, like I said, it's the pressure of
giving up your ambitions as a person to become "just a wife/mother/girlfriend". How many male magazines talk about improving your marriage/relationship compared to female magazines? It's only one example anyway, bottom line is that women aging past 30 aren't often portrayed as individuals with interesting hobbies, career goals, achievements and so forth.

And now that woman are generally waiting for financial stability and starting to try for kids later it's hard to find accounts from woman conceiving naturally in their 30s.
We've also got now surrogacy being bastardised and IVF. Older women are shamed for being the reason of birth defects but older men rarely get criticised when it's their spunk that degenerates over time, women just have a finite amount of eggs. Every time sperm is created the DNA inside the cell is copied. As a person ages their DNA gets copied into each new cell that regenerates and it's during this process mutations and error in the DNA code can happen. That's why older people get hit more with disease over natural wear. women's eggs are formed in vitro and get activated over our menstrual cycles. Evolution has accounted for aging in this way. There's actually more evolutionary evidence that women should have more male partners since sperm competition actually exists and it increases likely hood of conception and it's literally the battle of fittest sperm wins.

I was given overly harsh physical punishments but by my dad. I remember being scared shitless of him. So I think my own phase was me trying to take back some power. The phase has mostly passed but I still like men with passive personalities.
With people not spanking their kids so much anymore it makes me wonder if there will be less of it. Maybe porn will still fuel the interest. I think most kinks are rooted in childhood events but children are finding porn younger and younger so viewing it at that age could be the event that sparks it.

But i won't lie, i have a bad reaction to any man saying theirs is physical touch because i've seen it used to justify abusing women for sex, it's a bit like the reaction i get whenever someone mentions evolutionary psychology ever since incels learned the term lol

>>633597>it's a bit like the reaction i get whenever someone mentions evolutionary psychology ever since incels learned the term lolOT but yeah. Except it's not only incels, I associate it with the alt right (I know they overlap though).
I'm kind of ashamed about it because there's things like "woman is a terf dogwhistle" and then there's me lol.

>>633598I agree 100%, but imo there are gonna be people into those things who may do it in real life. see the irl bestiality furries for example. Yet as much as its easy to generalize, I think each person has their own reasons and capabilities. Some affected, some not at all. And i know i like some things in fiction and i know myself, i know im not fucked up like that irl. NEVER. Just like if a villain does X I may love that character, if a irl person does X, I fucking hate them no exceptions and feel sick. So I agree it doesn't automatically make them a bad person capable of/interested in that irl, BUT there are still gonna be those who are. Which sucks. I do think it's reasonable to put your guard up, when people have a disturbing kink and it bugs you, but it's not PROOF of anything on its own.
Knowing this, that's why I see it as important to keep a defined line between fiction and reality for everyone. If we all acknowledge that liking it in fiction doesn't mean you do in real life, maybe that could even keep people from dabbling irl. (But that's prolly rare if it happens in extremes. It probably does happen for things like kinks though. liking a kink in fiction doesn't mean you'll enjoy it when its occurring in real life, and people should have fair warning of that)
Anyway (to end my rant) this is exactly why people equating the two entirely are stupid. If we separate them it could prevent confusion in many ways. As a teen i understood if you fuck it has to be safe sex, and when a fic wasn't safe sex I overlooked it since I knew it was just some online rando's horny fantasy lol. Its good to have awareness

are desperately in debt or fucking an old man for the opportunity to take some pictures in his pool. If you're fat and ugly, lose weight and learn makeup, and you too could be a braindead influencer. Also boohoo some people are born into rich families and you're weren't, but that's the case for almost everyone else too. Follow more people you have things in common with if it bothers you.

>>633613Oh definitely. There’s always going to be those few exceptions but I think in those cases, they are were pedos/zoophiles etc. and just want some more things to get off too..which really sucks and makes people who aren’t into that fictional
problematic content irl, look bad.

Sorry anon but I'm from Belgium, tiniest country with the biggest amount of politicians who are all equally incompetent
I've been to Spain through and it's pretty shitty you guys have to wear the masks everywhere outside. And with that warm weather, I feel for you….
I understand why you'd take siestas since it's so warm during noon but it must suck to have your work spread out like that.
I also heard some of you had to go into quarantaine but still had to work while not reveiving a cent, what's up with that.
No. 633916
>>633907Did you miss the whole part of my post where I said
>Obviously pedos/furries who don't act on their attractions aren't the same as ones who do though.Imo, if your into kids, you're a pedo, that doesn't necessarily mean you would fuck kids irl, but you're still a pedo, and I feel like to say otherwise is wrong.
Deleted cause I forgot to add, but in pvp games, you don't really imagine the enemy as a real person. It's usually just like "I'm beating this monster up!" or whatever. When someones jacks off to loli/shotacon they're specifically imagining a child. Idk if I'm articulating this point correctly but I hope you get the gist.

>>633943Nta, but there
is loli/shota stuff made using real kids as a reference, there was even an issue with some guy who traced cp to draw his porn. Just like how there are videogames that are as realistic as possible in which you can kill people, so, both are unnecessary and both will make me question whether someone should be trusted or not.

>>633943who are the
victims of high violence games anon? men. sometimes a women, but 99% of the time the model you're killing is a grown man, who are not a vulnerable group. Children are a vulnerable group. Media sexualising children will always be condemned, and your personal opinion means nothing because this won't change for reasons you are too fucking stupid to understand.

>>633952this happened with mortal kombat. people working on the game had to look at gore to make the in game gore realistic. many of them actually got pstd from it.
all in all i think that people rely far too much on statistics to defend this stuff. who actually cares what these things may or may not cause? there's no reason to defend them.
No. 633980
>>633952I think most people can understand how violence in games and movies and violence in real life are different, but sex and porn are much more taboo and most people don't talk openly about it. We learn from a very young age to not hurt others, we know that pain is not good to feel and we develop empathy and self control when it comes to anger, but sex is different, that's why so many just copy what they see in porn and why you can develop certain fetishes or become attracted to certain things with enough porn use. Sexuality is much more complicated than beating someone up in KOF and can be influenced by media.
Also plenty of people are wary of people who draw extremely detailed guro and other degenerate stuff. It's not like you can play a super detailing disemboweling simulator and everyone will think it's normal and has no effect on you.
No. 634082
>>633980I really think that violence in media technically does have an impact on people, and that those studies are not complete. They never studied the affects of sexual harassment/assault/violence and if you want to claim that it doesn’t influence scrotes to be even more gross then you’re delusional. I think the difference is that you get “murder bad” drilled into you from a tiny age and there’s severe punishment for it, but most people think sexual harassment and assault is funny and not a big deal.
Slightly more ot but I also think that we are going to start seeing more trauma like symptoms in people who play overly violent video games in an age where graphics are as realistic as they are.

>>634125>>634181I was considering pursuing a career on mortuary sciences, a really school here offers a combo of necropsy assistant and reconstrutive mortician studies, and they had a class every week just how to deal with the shit you're going to see. Specially the dead kids.
My therapist and family ended up dissuading me from the job (which i kinda regret with the current job market) because im already not very empathetic (developmental issues, im kinda wonky socially) and they were afraid it would mess my social skills to much.
Only two kinds of people take these jobs, EMT, Mortician, etc the ones with below average empathy, or higher than average, different consequences for both but still messes them up.

No nice little sites with unique topics explored in depth by a bunch of people. No real friends to be made. I just scroll through youtube and sigh because the internet is so boring today.

>>634248Corporations have fucked up the Internet in so many ways. Even some companies wanting access to your sm handles and even some wanting you to promote work events etc. It's such shite.
It's hard to interact and meet new people online cause we're all so connected. I don't have fb anymore but when I did have it is even add online friends I'd made in different communities and my normie workmates or friends would always make snide comments to me in person about them. Or how'd you meet them or you're so odd for talking to people with similar interests.
I miss the old Internet culture. Its hard to meet normal people online in your area now, unless you want to have a fucking hook up. Most of my peers that are still online just post shit about politics or share posts from companies or what products they want to buy. It's so boring online these days.

>>634355I can see where you're coming from but honestly from reading/watching fan reactions of scenes from The Boys the writers really do need to be heavy handed with the racial themes. Like I watched a video of a guy reacting to S2E03's ending and he didn't get the obvious reveal that
Stormfront is a white supremacist. He missed the uniform race of the civilians murdered and seemed to think this is just a show where it's normal to drop racial slurs in a fight. And this guy was black so who knows how many white viewers missed it. And then you get viewers on twitter who think the show is condoning these actions and words because a superhero does it even though the whole premise is most of them are morally corrupt or outright evil.
You really need to hammer the point home when making mass media since a lot of people don't bother to read between even the most clear lines as it's just casual escapism to most. I appreciate the message since the average American really needs it in their head that not all racists are angry tattooed blatant skinheads but often want to appear as a benevolent leader representing the common citizen.
No. 634422
>>634398>>634394I'm still no fan of the directing style (for personal taste reasons and because I think it's too OTT, regardless) but when you explain it like that it makes sense. Now i'm actually wondering a lot of shows are made like this as opposed in the past because of the average viewer being slower to catch on the subtlety put in between messages of shows. The show looks to have a different tone and interpretation of the source material than the comics (which seemed to be more like the typical satirical parody type of storytelling the 2000s vs the more ironic meta humor of the 2010s-2020) as well.
That actually makes me worry for the future of movies/animation/TV series if this is a common trend.
Still, fuck American Horror Story and Sense8. That was legitimately retarded.

>>633886The warm weather thing is a shit excuse to spread work because only old people or students take siestas actually. People who work don't have time for that. Many people work far from their homes so they end one shift at 2pm, have lunch and then do nothing until 5pm when their second shift starts. It's also used by companies so they don't have to "pay" for worker's lunch time.
A lot of people here have been laid off but the government is paying 70% of their monthly wage because this situation. The issue is the public administration is so shitty there are lots of people who still haven't been paid since March. And now our dear politicians are saying that if your company wants to keep you laid off it should start to use from your unemployment time. My bf is desperate, he is earning less than half his wage now (relied heavily on tips) but his company won't fire him. If he quits to look for something else he will lose unemployment and quite a bit of money. I was on the lucky side being able to work from home during quarantine.
It's a shit show all around. The newest thing is they're quarantining only several parts of the city ghetto style, only the poor neighborhoods. They did massive free tests in those areas and are using it as an excuse like "look there are more infected people there". Bitch if you'd test my middle class neighborhood you'd have the same % but we have to pay 80€ for a test to know.
