who is more deserving of being attributed with a so-called "reclaimed" slur against woman popularized by gay men? a GNC lesbian, or a woman who rejected her lesbian daughter and tried to get her to go to conversion therapy?

Vote for the artist you think is the cuntiest of all (or of the two.)

Cher (1946-) solo; Sonny & Cher - vocals Songs: "Dark Lady," "I Got You Babe" Defeated Opponents: Tom Lehrer Propaganda: see visual

Big Mama Thornton (1926-1984) solo Songs: "Hound Dog," "Ball and Chain" Defeated Opponents: Shirley Bassey Propaganda: "Her voice was so loud and powerful, she didn't need a microphone. Her gender-nonconformity also helped establish rock‘n‘roll as rebellious music."

Video captions: And stop trying to show your ex what they missed out on! Stop trying to teach your family a lesson for not believing in you! Stop trying to shit on your haters! Do it for you! Do it because you deserve it! Do it for YOU! Water your dreams with love! Don’t put no hate and resentment, and try to — “oh Imma fucking show them, Imma show” — FUCK THEM! Fuck them, do it for you! They don’t matter! They NEVER mattered.

The effects of caffeine vary, and you may not feel "alert" so much as "jittery," but for the purposes of this poll please group your experience with whichever feels closest.

Alert: energized, anxious, jittery, "on," etc.

Sleepy: tired, relaxed, "off," etc.

Pollmonger note: I don't think there's any reason to think OCD interacts atypically with caffeine, but it's what anon wanted to know.

Many of those booktok girls got groomed into reading that kind of content by ‘fandom culture’ which pushed them to read fanfics that were 90% hardcore pornography including kinks they never would have heard of otherwise. Not that they don’t have control over their own actions, but even I remember being exposed to things like the BDSM test on anime twitter through mutuals who were friends with popular fanfic writers. Violent kinks were always framed like jokes, but under the table people would trade recommendations on fanfics that were much too mature for our age. Those fandom moms will tell you ‘don’t like don’t read’, but the issue with that is even tagging systems like ao3’s require you to understand what the tag means so that you can filter it out. That’s still on some level corrupting the innocence of children. There are so many violent and disgusting kinks out there I never would have even known about if I wasn’t exposed to them through fandom, even in trying to protect myself. Again, these booktok women have control over their lives. They can absolutely go cold turkey on all of that like I did one day. But then they develop communities around these topics and look up to the popular writers and artists that make that sort of content, which convinces them that it’s okay since so many other people like it too. I don’t think there’s a single fandom out there where the most popular author hasn’t written violent smut. There is so much grooming that occurs in these fandom spaces. I could go on forever about how inappropriate it is for these grown adults to benefit from easily suggestible teenagers for their own eventual publishing careers once their ship hits the mainstream like dramione did.

I keep forgetting that I get anonymous asks😭

But yeah I agree with you, there is definitely nuance to it especially once you take into consideration that it’s young girls being exposed to it. I also remember being about 12-13 and taking BDSM and rice purity tests with my friends thinking it was something so cool. It got even worse once I started getting into anime during the pandemic and hearing about wattpad/tumblr and ao3, the smut at first was ‘vanilla’ but as the years went on, it was getting increasingly misogynistic and violent. You can barely find an anime fanfic without some BDSM related stuff.

There should be no reason as to why young teenage girls should be bragging about what kind of kinks they got and trying to one up each other on how ‘kinky’ and ‘freaky’ they’re, It’s a disgrace honestly.

I’m glad I’ve grown out of it tbh

Skepticism issue:

I repeatedly see discussions about how "humans needs spirituality." Sometimes this is followed by "you don't need religion, but you need something. "

I'd like to push back on that. What I often see described as the "necessary" parts of "spirituality" is mostly connection. Connection with others, connection with a sense of self, goals and hopes and community. And then they'll have a line about the "soul". (Which does not exist as a separate entity from the mind unless you have spiritual beliefs).

Connection and community do not require spirituality. Self-worth and a sense of self do not require spirituality. Tying these things inherently to spirituality is not a given. Belief in a soul is not necessary to be happy.

You are not required to believe in non-evidentiary things to be a full person.
