“Love Island” was a seasonal fertility ritual in the cultures of the late-stage trans-Atlantic imperial core [1].

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

If aid does not enter to Gaza Strip within the next 48 hours — especially baby formula and flour — then prepare yourselves for the largest mass death crime in history.

Comedians in the '70s and cartoons in the '90s: weird how your kids can watch violence and murder on TV but the FCC wants us dead if we say the word nipple.

Internet users in 2025: you didn't warn me that there would be erotic themes in the game you just mentioned which is fucked up because I thought it was going to be a normal "morally struggle with killing people" game but now it's gone too far :-/

Cis men have this complete disconnect and disbelief towards the evil men do which is so at odds with the reality we live in. The Man of the Year trend where women post a highly audacious abusive message or voice note a man sent them is highlighting this. Dudes in the comments are like “Where are you finding these guys? I’ve never met a guy like that in my life.” You haven’t? You’ve never once met an unhinged dude who threatened to beat you up over something petty? You didn’t have any friends growing up who had terrible fathers? You’ve never had a coworker or an acquaintance who spoke about how his wife pisses him off so badly he wants ‘to beat the shit out of her sometimes’? Even if you swear up and down it’s not you and it’s not your friends, you have to have met a guy like that. You know you have. They’re everywhere.

As someone whose current fantasy project is shamelessly pilfering from that sort of swords and sorcery DnD-esque Post-Tolkein playground, I gotta say, that's only made me more fascinated by the interesting place DnD holds in The Culture in that it had this reputation for years as a notoriously geeky hobby, and therefore was kind of underground and embarrassing and hush hush even while other geek properties starting w/ (imo) the advent of star wars into lotr into yknow, THOSE wizard books and stuff became more normalized & became mainstream, AND it has the baggage of being the target of evangelical conservative satanic panic, but ALSO in terms of its space in the TTRPG sphere not only is it and everything under the Wizards of the Coast pretty much the Big Business and monoculture of that landscape which is insufferable at small scale for anyone interested in RPGs that aren't interested in aping 5e, and borderline bad for art and creativity and competition at worst, its also just laden with all kinds of baggage that is both not necessarily its own falt in that its inherited and unexamined bullshit from the fantasy bioessentialism and racial determinism of the Swords and Sorcery Genre, while also having its completely special brand of weird regressive beliefs baked into the worldbuilding bc the creator was also a dick.

as much as i understand and sympathize w/ the sentiment to some degree, it always kills me when people have the bravery to say things like "you have to love the thing you’re parodying" here, on shrek's internet

I should talk more about topping because honestly I actually do think that there's an asymmetry in how bottoming and topping are perceived on this site that has at least a little to do with how rare it is for tops to be allowed to to safely talk about their desire in any setting that isn't harshly guarded against judgement and shame

And like. Topping is great actually. I love it a lot. But finding bottoms who are actually interested in their top as opposed to interested in BEING topped can make you really feel like topping is unwelcome in queer sexual spaces. Don't have the focus to do it now, but remind me lmfao
