"If you like monsterfucking or eat meat you can't reblog my aesthetic slime post" is honestly the funniest concept to come out of the new age of social entitlement tbh.

You're not entitled to be everywhere or included in everything.

I'm gonna give out a term that does come from TikTok and it's "bean-soupification" and this term comes from the fact that someone commented on a video of a woman making bean soup and asked the question, and I quote, "Can I substitute the beans with something else? I don't like beans." On a video... about BEAN soup.

And this term basically is about self-entitled people who will insert themselves in situations that have NOTHING to with them and then ask for the situation to be changed or altered or ask for substitutions because they don't like it. And no, this isn't about anything political or such; nope, just random bullshit that happens in everyday life.

Another example that isn't the derivation of the term? The people who comment on my "friendship decay" post and basically all say "Umm, but what about us who will cut people off if we don't talk on a daily basis, every minute of each day?!" Like, that post is not about that, so don't bring it up. And I tell them this and they act like me telling them this is brand-new, somehow.

{Also, P.S.: I know that there is probably another term for bean-soupification but I'm using this one until I find out another one.}

"We develop a hopeful mind-set when we understand that some worthy endeavors will be difficult and time consuming and not enjoyable at all. Hope also requires us to understand that just because the process of reaching a goal happens to be fun, fast, and easy doesn't mean that it has less value than a difficult goal. If we want to cultivate hopefulness, we have to be willing to be flexible and demonstrate perseverance. Not every goal will look and feel the same. Tolerance for disappointment, determination, and a belief in self are the heart of hope. As a college professor and researcher, I spend a significant amount of time with teachers and school administrators. Over the past two years I've become increasingly concerned that we're raising children who have little tolerance for disappointment and that some, who come from various forms of privilege including race and class, have a strong sense of entitlement. Entitlement is very different than agency. Entitlement is "I deserve this just because I want it" and agency is "I know I can do this." The combination of fear of disappointment, entitlement, and performance pressure is a recipe for hopelessness and self-doubt. .... The best definition of power comes from Martin Luther King Jr. He described power as the ability to achieve our purpose and to effect change. If we question our need for power, think about it: How do you feel when you believe that you are powerless to change something in your life? Powerlessness is dangerous. For most of us, the inability to effect change is a desperate feeling. We need resilience and hope and a spirit that can carry us through the doubt and fear. We need to believe that we can effect change if we want to live and love with our whole hearts."

"WHAT’S A KING TO A GOD, WHAT’S A GOD TO A NONBELIEVER. He might be a decent bloke, who knows, but having a nation bow before you and accepting it, would imply he’s not. When a person is declared the supreme authority of an entire people by birth and ordained by God, it’s not something to take pride in, rather it’s something to be acutely ashamed of. No country deserves to be called “democratic” nor “civilised” whilst instating a King. Almost every year another country celebrates independence from Britain, from the King, if this doesn’t show why the monarchy is the antithesis of democracy, nothing will. Citizens of a country that sees 14 million living in poverty and thinks nothing of jailing a homeless man for stealing bread out of hunger, that has more food banks than McDonald’s, should not be forced to bow to those that preside over it. Rise up. End the monarchy, before it ends you." - Martyn Reed (Nuart)

Our biggest mistake is to categorize love amongst matters that you're entitled to. No, it is not something you win and claim. It is a pure endowment and gift. To believe that someone ought to love you or that you ought to love someone goes against the very spirit of loving. This is an energy that has to purely sprout from the heart. How could one even expect that to be mandated as a birth right? No, no one is ever entitled to this divine gift. If it arrives at your door, then its a sheer blessing. If it isn't arriving, then so be it, don't enforce it...

was just sent this on DA:

Hey, i looked at your one shot WTF? I'm a Magical Girl's Familiar? comic and well I am kinda mixed about it , because you see the concept of having a person reincarnated as a magical girl familiar is okay which i appreciate , but this thing about transported to another world and reincarnated as familiar to a magical girl feels like a isekai cliche thing which is used too many times in japan and other webcomics and i am not a fan of this concept even though the magical girl concept feels like cliche as well back before madoko happen So i suggest you can give some minor change to the concept of the story like instead of a person transporting to a different world and reincarnate as a different creature , its reincarnated into a same world as a different being and instead of a prostitute, it's about a former magical girl who once fought against the great evil, but many years later live a miserable boring adult life like working in a diner , until her life was cut short not by an accident which is the truck one but an attack from an evil villain unlike the evil villains she faced when she was a magical girl , luckily her soul end up in a body of a summoned magical girl familiar to a new magical girl , so now she has to train the magical girl to fight against another threat while giving some advice to the new girl not to make some personal mistakes in her life like she did when she was human. And also I suggest maybe less swear words not adult type if you want to aim for a young adult demography as in PG-13 What do you think, will you use that for your magical girls familiar comic concept ?

I feel like the "no one owes anyone anything and no one is morally obligated to do anything for anyone or be considerate or help anyone and we're all just a bunch of animals who can't be expected to do anything other than ensure our own survival and people expecting anything from one another is childish and cringe" attitude is explicitly anti-human tbh.

Like this is full fledged misanthropy and apathy covered up with an edgy "fuck yeah, fuck everyone, I'm a strong independent lone wolf" attitude. The fact that it is presented as the "mature" alternative to "entitlement" (read: the view that people should look out for each other and that people deserve things) is especially wild. Like, no, thinking that if other people take issue with your behavior then that's a "them problem" is not mature or based. Neither is thinking food, shelter, or medical care are not human rights. Neither is deliberately upsetting people you don't like just to upset them. Neither is turning away people in need, who you are fully able to help at little cost to yourself, because you don't feel like it. Neither is trying to justify any form of morally dropping the ball with "I don't owe" when what you really mean is simply "I'd rather not."

You believe that people don't have any ethical obligations to one another beyond the most basic, "don't rape or murder" level tenets because you're a selfish and self-centered person who doesn't want to take responsibility for how their choices impact other people and doesn't want to live in a genuinely pro-social world, not because you're a strong willed stoic survivor who's earned the right to be a selfish ass because you've worked hard for it or something. Your ilk are the people who fuck in public restroom stalls, who blast music on the bus with no headphones, who ghost friends because they bore you, who leave garbage on the floor because "someone else will get it," who refuse to assist anyone whose needs are remotely inconvenient, who express profound glee in response to "offending" (read: bullying) others. You view any and all altruistic acts performed by yourself or others, no matter how small, insignificant, and/or effortless, as gracious charity, as going above and beyond, something exceptional that recipients should be infinitely grateful for, because, of course, said recipients are owed nothing, deserve nothing, and are not entitled to kindness from anyone. You do not see everyday altruism as the basic moral duty that it is, as the backbone of healthy human interaction, something to be expected, equally as unworthy of special praise or recognition as abstaining from rape or murder. Your world is aggressive, selfish, cold, petty, individualistic and small, and yet you claim there is nothing wrong with it, that it is a good world, that anyone who objects to it is simply inferior to you in some way, too weak, too infantile, too, without any recognition of the irony, selfish. And that makes sense, in a way. Why would you see such a world as bad when you share so much in common with it?

Parents who think they are entitled to all the same accommodations as disabled people because they have children are just, I can't even.
