When you're familiar with Paradise Lost and other texts dealing with Lucifer's fall/rebellion, the cliché pick-up line "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" really takes on a whole new meaning.

For a long time, "defenestrate" has been one of my favorite words in the english language, but recently, I think "libidinous" has overtaken it.

Whenever I think of it, it conjures the image of a repressed georgian or victorian era aristocrat trying to hide his own arousal at something else.

I am obsessed with this comment I got on a clip of me playing Awaria. there's a lot of layers to unpack here that are fascinating to me.

The fact that this is talking about 100 Girlfriends (something I do make videos about) but is posted under a clip of an Awaria stream, which has nothing to do with 100 Girlfriends, as though they wanted to hide this from the prying eyes of the fandom

The dichotomy of this person being fairly eloquent while making so many typos (no judgement here, these seem to me more like carelessness than lack of knowing how to spell).

The fact that I have less than 30 subscribers and am making this for a comparatively niche community, meaning this person would most likely have been a part of that to even find my content.

"it outright prevents me from becoming a payinng channel member" I don't even have that option available, see previous reason

"I wonder aloud" why are you wondering aloud, this is a witten comment

"If we should... if we should be this comfortable." Points for nice rhetoric and style, but again why put this verbal style into a written comment?

The very unusual names they used for 100 Girlfriends: "Kimi no Koto" I can sort of understand, it's the first three names of the japanese title, but "100-Girlfriends-love-you" WHAT IS THIS

"Edit_" what is this programming language, and why is it in a youtube comment?

THE FACT THEY CENSORED THE WORD "HECK" WHAT IS THIS A PURITAN KINDERGARTEN

"That anime is so extreme with its fanservice" Is it though? I've seen a lot worse

"fanservice (if that's even STIGLL the right term to use) WHAT DO YOU MEAN STILL THE RIGHT TERM

The fact that that edit is made within a day, as though they were making an ultimatum. About 100 Girlfriends videos. and the threat was them leaving. what.

The last sentence in particular strikes me:

"I hope this commment in-itself is telling by just existing, let alone with its content"

three "M"s in "comment" (I feel that mocking typos is mean and would be hypocritical of me when I often do the same , but this one is just funny to me)

What is this even supposed to mean? "telling by existing, let alone with its content" how is a comment supposed to be telling without its content?

The position this person is a valid discourse that can be had about things, do not get me wrong! But like, I am making amateurish videos about an absurd commedy manga, why do you want to bring this up here, and with me? Also, this being about 100 Girlfriends is a weird hill to die on. there's so much worse out there, where the discourse would be way more vaild.

I think i'm reading into this way too much.

A little 100 Girlfriends shitpost edit

I thought the joke fit the character, so I made this.

[corvincalloway]

My first ever video has reached 1000 views!

How fitting that this milestone, albeit small, has happened on Christmas! Happy holidays everyone!

[corvincalloway]

A funny little clip from my playthorugh of Awaria.

Ah, the old 1-2 combo...

[corvincalloway]

Hey folks! I'm checking out Awaria, the new game by Vanripper, the creator of Helltaker!

Come join me on Twitch!

[corvincalloway]

A silly little edit I did. It's just a perfect fit!

If we take a break for a moment from the funny meme or self-aware kink indulgence understanding of the 'bimbo', and instead examine it as a sort of sexist fantasy - that is, literally a fantasy of ideal womanhood as imagined by a sexist - then we can come to understand that the 'himbo' is not the masculine counterpart. There is discourse to mine out of the idea that the himbo represents a sexist fantasy of ideal manhood, but I think that the himbo actually represents a sort of halfway step between the bimbo and her true counterpart.

The bimbo embodies sexist 'ideals' of womanhood, taken to an extreme and bent to the desires of the sexist (presumed straight, male) imagination. She is:

1) physically attractive in sexual terms, to an extreme - both a pleasure to possess and a status symbol to display to others

2) always horny (thus, always sexually available)

3) unintelligent in the traditional sense - not good at organization, STEM fields, academic learning, etc. this keeps her...

4) nonthreatening - she won't outshine a man in any domain of (the sexist ideas of) male competence, and

5) dependent - in need of a big strong smart man to provide for her, reassuring said man's sense of self-worth

All of these line up with traditional sexist ideas of womanhood - where the bimbo has flaws, they're not feminine flaws, and she still possesses feminine strengths (according to the sexist mindset).

So, the male counterpart of the bimbo should embody sexist ideals of manhood, taken to an extreme and bent to the desires of the sexist imagination. If we compare to the bimbo's features listed above, then:

1) physical attractiveness is desirable for men but not a key feature - a man can be manly while being ugly in a way a woman cannot be womanly if she is ugly.

2) horniness is not seen as desirable for men - it is expected and excused by sexists, but it's considered threatening to those who are its targets and a lot of sexism towards men is based in this assumed threat.

3) traditional intelligence is considered manly, but emotional intelligence isn't - in fact, it's seen as unmanly.

4) being threatening is harder to extract from manliness, as is...

5) being dependent, but it is possible, even required - men are just expected to be non-threatening and dependent in a different way.

Remembering that we're looking for a sexist ideal rather than a sexual ideal, we need to identify how sexism towards men works. Men are not sexually objectified under traditional sexism, but they are still objectified. This objectification is based on utility - an objectified man is reduced to a tool. He is wanted for what he can do and how well he does it, not in himself. His personhood is reduced to what makes him useful and controllable, and when he is not being of use he is unseen. He does not feel pain, he does not feel emotions that make him less of a perfect undemanding worker or soldier, he is permitted to suffer or rage or weep only for the things he serves and never for himself.

The male counterpart of a bimbo would be:

1) physically obviously useful - big and strong and tough, to an extreme, convenient for whoever he serves and an implicit threat to their enemies

2) seldom horny (thus never sexually threatening)

3) emotionally unintelligent - lacking the ability to understand or express the feelings of others or even his own (if he even has them) - in order to help make him:

4) unthreatening, in the sense of being easily controllable and socially inferior, and

5) dependent - in need of an inspiring leader, abstract ideals or a sole source of comfort to fulfill his emotional needs, further securing his loyalty and obedience.

I put it to you, then:

Space Marines are the male counterpart of bimbos, and becoming one is bimbofication.

🥺.

Here's another silly video where I ramble about which factions each of the Girlfriends (and Rentarou) from 100 girlfriends would pick

[corvincalloway]

The Paris Olympics insisting that athletes compete in the Seine is so absurd it feels like something Terry Pratchett would want to make fun of. Like can you imagine him writing a Discworld story about a mad Ankh-Moorpark city official deciding to put on some ancient extravagant game, creating havoc in the city by bringing in all these foreigners to compete, and insisting the Ankh river, which is so filthy it's basically solid, is perfectly fine to swim in, because that's what they did in ancient times so that's how they're going to do it now. I feel like it would be a Night's Watch story about the people hired to clean the river and all the friends and horrors they discover along the way.

Good luck to all the athletes swimming in the poop water.

So, I decided to (badly) summarize the current girlfriends from "The 100 Girlfriends who Really Really Really Really Really love you" to the tune of "I am the very model of a Modern Major General."

I have never recorded or edited a song or video and published it before, so it's pretty amateurish
