no way… you’re morose? AND lugubrious??? 😳

The ceaseless work of trying to love others as you wish to be loved, eclipsed only by the work of trying to love yourself as you wish to be loved.

really cannot emphasise enough that "All Men Bad" and "masculinity is inherently violent, dangerous, and evil" are load-bearing pillars of radfeminism and these ideas cannot have a place in any truly progressive queer theorising.

So, I'd like you to imagine a world where watching cartoons had become suddenly super popular over the course of a few years. Huge burst in popularity. Suddenly everybody's talking about animation. Except: -Most of those new viewers only watch Family Guy, and a good chunk of older viewers stopped watching anything except Family Guy. -Most of these new viewers have got into the habit of just listening to the audio of Family Guy, 'cos the actual animation's kinda ugly, and normally just turn the screen off and listen to the cartoon like a podcast. -These new viewers, whenever they try watching any new animation - from Bob's Burgers to Cowboy Bebop - turn the screen off and just listen to the audio, and then don't understand why these shows are any different and go back to Family Guy because it's familiar. Imagine being an animator in this world. Imagine pouring your soul into the craft of making a drawing move and emote and live, the hours of painstaking effort taken over animating a single scene. Imagine talking to supposed fans of animation who don't even bother looking at the screen to see what you've produced. Imagine making a film like Redline, a celebration of visual art and an absolute technical slam-dunk, and it flops because it's a visual medium and nobody has their screen turned on, and people go back to talking to you about Family Guy with the screen turned off.

This is what it often feels like being a designer of tabletop games in 2024. Why yes, I *am* salty.

anyone else think its dope how applying to jobs is intentionally designed as like a humilation ritual where you degrade yourself like a slimy worm both physically and mentally for crumbs

I do consider "let people enjoy things" to be a sort of thought terminating cliche at this point. while there are of course exceptions it seems to most often be employed as a knee jerk response to any critical or dissenting opinions no matter how impersonal, which isn't so much taking a stance for the freedom of individual taste as expressing a profound discomfort with criticism being expressed at all.

Was just informed that "any sufficiently deep enthusiasm is indistinguishable from academic rigor" and hoo boy we are really in a crisis of anti-intellectualism.
