one thing about this desperation and clamor for more platonic relationships between men and women in tv/film is just like... are y'all children? who gives a fuck about seeing "positive portrayals of platonic love & friendships between men and women 🥹" on adult shows. you'd think those didn't exist in media at all. and we see it all the time when black women are relegated to the bestie/advice giver/therapist role. spare me.
i keep seeing annoying posts by (mostly white) people about how you're not obligated to talk about every thing in the news, it's okay to be traumatised, doesn't mean u don't care, etc, etc, and honestly good god no one is fucking stopping you from talking about middle aged pirates fucking each other raw on this website, even as there's an ongoing genocide in palestine. no one cares! you do not need to make it into an entire tirade! the most ""politically active''" people on here keep sharing stuff about their blorbos or pets or fanfics in between posts about gaza. stop acting like it's a giant burden to do something as simple and basic as acknowledging an ongoing ethnic cleansing on a dying website you spent far too much time on and if you feel guilt over not doing it, perhaps that is something that needs introspection rather than long-ass posts that are really just requests for external absolution.
You ever have four people tell you they were literally discussing how all of them want to fuck you so bad? You ever have all of your friends tell you, in a group, they they just discuss how hot you are without you being around?
