Apparently there’s a “kids shouldn’t be allowed in grocery stores” thing being spread on TikTok because they might scream or run around and look yeah that’s annoying but at a certain point you’ve gotta just put up with kids being a little annoying in public. Sure the kid pouring milk in the isles is the fault of a shitty parent and should be asked to leave, but a single mom with an otherwise controlled by crying toddler isn’t doing anything wrong. I think you’ll live if someone’s two year old starts screaming in their arms in isle 3. It might be annoying but that mom is probably having a worse day than you

No literally. I've been on an old movie binge ("Old" being anything released 15+ years ago), and it is fucking sobering how watered down cinema is today

Like, it always gets brought up how someone rewatched a movie from their childhood and they casually dropped some queer slurs or sexist shit– which don't get me wrong, is still totally is true and still it's still totally justifiable to criticize– but it's also so much more genuinely human.

I'll give an example. I just watched Ten Inch Hero a few days ago and lemme just lost our a few things they casually incorporated into the story that would never see the light of day in a current film:

- Teen pregnancy where the teen mom was forced to give up custody of her child and openly struggled with that trauma into adulthood

- A female character openly and shamelessly having and enjoying sex

- A woman struggling with insecurities about her looks when meeting a love interest online but ending up in a relationship without changing anything about herself

- A man desperately defending one of his woman friends from being assaulted and losing the fight but still still trying to protect her

- A usually confident/strong character ending up in an abusive relationship despite being sting and confident

- Homophobia causing violence towards women

- A woman dating a widowed man with a child and not having more kids with him

- A blended (age and gender) friend group where they don't all end up together romantically

- Adults swearing when they felt like swearing and talking about sex when they felt like talking about sex, without it being piled onto a characature of someone obsessed with those things

- Characters being a little morally grey and fucking up in very human ways

And a lot of these are such little things, but they knocked me on my fucking ass because I realized how little these things are shown in media and how watered down all of our stories arez and how miniscule our representation is.

It's censorship, plain and simple, and it's a lot more thorough than it was even just 10 years ago.

watching 20 year old tv shows is all fun and games until you realize how far we’ve backslid on certain social issues

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

there is also something kind of gross to me about the constant insinuations that the "questioning social norms" component of autism immediately turns every autistic person into a genderfuckery kinkster leftist who don't give a fuck. and I say this as someone who is a genderfuckery kinkster leftist. autism isn't a political alignment, it's a disability. sometimes the autism 'sense of justice' is wrong. sometimes an autistic person will find a home in conservative ideologies for many of the same reasons as other autistic people will find a home in communist ideologies. sometimes the autistic communist will come up with dogshit analysis even as they're guided by their sense of justice, because good political analysis isn't a feeling or a neurotype, it's a skill that you cultivate. I know it would be pleasant and emotionally soothing for you to be able to believe that autism turns someone into a superpowered leftist but it's a politically fraught and deeply questionable line of thought to be feeding into

Oh look, there goes Randall Animal and his mentor Cannibal Lecter

My gods, I am so mad right now. They literally named him Randall Tier.

Tier means animal in German.

So yeah the animalistic teeth carnage killer is called Randall Animal. I'm just mad because I only realized it now

people are clowning on this guy on reddit but uhhh let's pause for a minute and ask...so what happens if someone has a skin condition? what if part of their face has been burned? what if they're missing their eyes? and so what if they just have a fuckton of tattoos? recognition algorithms are aligned with the most ""average"" / ""normal"" features which means any deviation gets denied access to shit we didnt need age verification for 1 year ago. i dont care if it's a choice versus not, dont care if it's accessing porn or wikipedia, this needs to stop

I was teaching kids today and they got fixated on the usual ‘are they dead now?’ question when I was talking about historical figures. So I was just like ‘Yes, they’re dead now, everyone who was alive in the 1800s is dead now.’ and then one kid was like ‘Except for you’.

I’m convinced if ppl on this site knew how crappy gifs look before you color them properly, they would appreciate editors more

You ever think about how the planet is basically one big organism that's constantly trying to consume us and the only reason the ground doesn't swallow us whole is because we're always moving just enough to not be eaten

Phobia-ness aside, making up imaginary children to make fun of is some of the most loser behavior on the planet

I see many people (mainly “cis” women) make fun of a “hypothetical” young trans masc in their life and his “weird” name (“like arson!”) and “edgy” interests and having dyed hair and I’m immediately like OHHHHHH you wanted to be this guy so bad. that’s why you’re still mad at this “hypothetical” kid over genuinely nothing at all. you were and are deeply jealous of this person. wherever he is I hope he’s happy because you’re clearly not lol

I think we are focusing on the wrong thing when talking about mainstream romantasy adult books, instead of shaming straight cis women for reading kinky books, we should tralk about how most of the newer books aimed at that demographic are just conservative propoganda, rebranding patriarchy as a kink.

I think Scooby Doo as a franchise has under explored the potential of the late 60s and early 70s as a setting

Special shout-out to the horror movie tropes: "the murderer/villain is actually just an evil alternate personality of the main character" and "the villain is mentally disabled which means they torture/eat/kill people and animals" and "the crazy villains/monsters are actually just the result of inbreeding"

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?
