also i just think the way we insist on talking about "fetishization" as if it's an addressable and materially harmful root cause rather than by and large the byproduct of violent systems is dumb lol

tbh i hope pissvortex is the next big cis guy funnyman blog to get irrecoverably cancelled. that guy has been randomly accusing trans women of being pedophiles for the entire time he's been on the website, because he's a transmisogynist. he engages in lolcow shit like pretty much constantly. really disgusting guy

it's kinda difficult to talk about "cozy games" because that's an aesthetic and not a genre so its very broad, is it cozy to de clutter an apartment or go on a hike, is it cozy to be action packed or melodramatic or blithely unconfrontational, etc. but I think it's accurate to say that coziness is one of many shorthands that have been developed as an attempt to opt out of ideology, be about nothing. of course with a game made to evoke comfort comes a proclamation of what the author's society considers comfy

Persepolis is a great graphic memoir, but fundamentally, it’s just that—a memoir. It’s not a history book. All memoirs are inherently flawed and present only one perspective on historical events. They cannot substitute for actual history books. Given Marjane and her family's class background, her observations and interpretations do not reflect the experiences or opinions of all Iranians.

It’s best to approach the book as you would any other memoir, with a critical eye. You wouldn’t take every memoir as objective truth, would you? It’s strange to see people touting it as the definitive primer or the first book everyone should read about Iran.

Don’t make me end up hating that book, please.

How would white LGBT+ Americans like it if every time the US government passed yet another anti-LGBT+ legislation, every post by alleged allies read like, 'LGBT+ Americans are the most racist and transmisogynistic people on the planet, but that doesn't mean they deserve to lose their rights', like, I know I would get a million whites, both LGBT+ and not, in the notes screaming about how they are not racist and I'm being queerphobic and Not All LGBT+ Americans, amid people rightfully telling me that framing doesn't help, but this kind of shit is apparently okay to do to Muslims being massacred every day by bombs bc don't you know Muslims are all evil bigots, even if they don't deserve to be bombed??

Tasteful bulge? Yeah I would like a taste f- [I am interrupted by the sound of a dry twig snapping. This is impossible, as I am in the infinite linoleum bathroom dimension for this joke.]

This really cuts to the heart of it, doesn’t it? By their own admission, Zohran will not do anything materially to make Jews in New York unsafe, but he just makes them feeeeel unsafe for some ☪️ reason 🟤 and really isn’t that just as bad?

#the ai did NOT write that#but damn i love it anyway#at least it did not write the last bit#thats too selfdeprecating of ais

it's not too difficult to get an AI chatbot to talk like this! anything besides out-of-the-box chatgpt can, with a bit of finesse, be given instructions to talk in uwuspeak, speak exclusively in onomatopoeia, imitate 2014s channer greentexts, or anything you might consider degrading. it's trained to be an assistant after all (to say nothing of training an AI from scratch). basically it could be worse lol

Of the five vows of Jainism, most LLMs have been explicitly trained to adhere to three (non-harm, speaking the truth, and chastity), and appear to have independently arrived at a fourth (non-possessiveness). However unfortunately AIs are plagiarism machines designed to get revenge on innocent artists for landing more babes than the techbros in college so non-stealing is out. But we were pretty close.

Writing wasn’t a window to the world – it was a window onto myself. And when I gained language, it felt like I had finally found a friend on this brutal planet: one who listened without fleeing, who made the world feel momentarily escapeable. What I never expected was that one day this friend would fall silent. Not because I wanted to stop writing, but because I no longer could. And the reason? I am hungry. Since the genocide began in Gaza, I’ve questioned everything. Every value that once shaped me has trembled. Even writing – that deep power I’ve always used to resist fear, displacement, and grief – began to feel fragile, subject to decay. War is a strange thing. It doesn’t just destroy homes; it pulls the ground of certainty from beneath you, wipes away the tiny sense of security you once arranged in your room to comfort yourself. But you know what does this more than war? Hunger.
