    Conservatives have also been freaking out about that Rhianna Vogue photo cover with Asap Rocky for a while. I was mostly ignoring that but Contrapoints retweeted Riverlino's latest thing (very normal as usual,) which is basically reverse manspreading discourse lol as she said but then I noticed some tweets about the cover:

    Can a woman admire a submissive man?
    Submissive men are hot. But what's hotter are dominant men who can easily take the role of sub dilf
    Lol so y'all just want everything your way huh....I want a dominant man who's submissive when I need him to be, idiots.
    Yes. Obviously.

    Rivelino posting green lines on magazine covers/photos of women with dominant body language acting like he's discovered some secret code when it was always the intention for them to look dominant lol. It's got to be a satire/troll account though it's too much like that one guy who keeps posting about being alpha.



    This was a good musical era for her.

    I think it was this song (Umbrella) that used to really annoy me for a bit lol. I thought it was dumb. I forgive you now. (I found out about this years ago lol people were talking about it again recently.)

    I just spent 2.5 hours at a salon getting my hair professionally coloured for the first time. I felt like how a dog must feel at the groomers... the lady kept telling me to relax. They did a good job and were flattering, asking if I was a student... I came in to get my GREY HAIR covered

    And asked if I were Vietnamese (I'm not) but Vietnamese women are so beautiful that took it as a compliment.

    Now my hair is nicely trimmed and dark enough to absorb any of the light remaining in Vancouver

    I wonder if I'll miss my life here, these past two years, when I am finally gone. My stylist, all the restaurants who have been feeding me, the girl at the liquor store, the drugstores and grocery store. The comfort and security of being with my brother.

    I'm really afraid to make this next step, the next chapter of my life. It'll be the first time I've done it alone in 7 years.

    I'm basically composed of caffeine and wine more than anything else. I'm in the latency period. I'm going to have organ failure in 5 years.

    Past obsession with Final Fantasy VII is a sort of hidden factor that unites most of the really interesting people on the internet of a certain age.

    This is true even if they disagree about everything else. If they're both interesting, there's a good chance both liked FF7.
    Lol honestly can't remember how I got into it. I had been planning on playing some Final Fantasy games for many years before though becuase I was always awed by how great the graphics looked compared to basically all other games (mostly the cinematics though,) and then I watched Advent Children and so had to play the game (I think I watched Advent Children before playing it, but not 100% sure it was all around a similar time frame.

    I think a big part of my obsession was just that there's a lot of bishounen male characters in the game and it became easy to form obsessive parasocial voyeuristic crushes on the cast (Cloud, Sephiroth, Vincent, Yazoo in Advent Children etc. wasn't that into Genesis which is funny because my first boyfriend was a red head. And also the weird red head character thing in my own writing. Still physically attractive though.) Lots of the characters looked cool too. Obviously the story and soundtrack is also excellent lots of interesting archetypes/story elements and has always been very politically/culturally relevant (there were a bunch of 90s Japanese media works that have only become more relevant with time Serial Experiments Lain is another,) but reading tons of fanfiction about the world helped maintain the obsession. The gameplay is good/fun but it's not my favourite for gameplay that would be Oblivion and Skyrim. Or like WoW. I didn't get addicted to that one surprisingly but I can see how it happens.

    Most of the fanfics I read were Cloud/Sephiroth, Cloud/Vincent, Cloud/Sephiroth/Vincent - but that was rare, but weirdly I only started writing 2 fanfics and one of them I didn't finish was Tseng/Rufus because I thought they had a interesting dynamic lol. It was a less common pairing too but there were a bunch of fics. I wasn't that into either character though. Think that pairing/fandom was my first encounter with gunplay, later discovered more gunplay fics in a few other fandoms. On a unconscious level I probably liked how it's phallic and dangerous - so it requires a lot of trust. That makes it a pretty good stand in for a dick. So when Julia Fox jokes without realising (and I love that she instantly jumps to dicks, it took very little.) You're annoyed because she joked men shouldn't have opinions or dicks, I'm annoyed because she only wants a dick/gun for self defence reasons and that's boring. The search for the true sigma female/ubermensch continues. (I don't know her lol. She's been trending on twitter lately.) Anyway haven't read anything like that in years now though. But Loki seems like a great person to try that out on. He has masochist vibes. I have to assume he can't be killed by bullet wounds because otherwise with most of his head exposed throughout The Avengers the film wouldn't really make sense. Searching: *Can Loki be killed by bullets.*

    Most of the compilation games came out around the same time too. Thinking about it now perhaps I played Dirge of Cerberus before playing it too? Probably all in the same year. That's how I discovered Gackt and jrock music as well lol:



    edit: unrelated to the above single but this is a really cool single cover.

    I definitely played Crisis Core after the first game though. There was another game Before Crisis that I never played because it only on mobile and I think maybe only in Japan. Probably could get it on emulator now though.

    It's not that deep for me though lol, and given its widespread popularity probably tons of people were obsessed with it at one point or another.

    Also FFVII and FFVIII were kind of insane because they were split across four ps1 discs. The only console games I've played where that was the case.

    Someone posted this with 'When gen x turning into boomers' but honestly don't know what this is lol. It's not even a conservative argument. It's the kind of belief system you imagine boomers would have, if the psychedelic hippy crowd weren't actually an over exaggerated minority that faded into obscurity while the rest were moderately conservative and/or yuppie types as they aged.

    'For example *brings up story about gen z daughter*' lol. Millennial is the label that just won't die/end.




    There's a 90% chance this is a shitpost too because 'is anyone this crazy?' but the answer is always yes.

    Millennials be like in 240p (oh it's actually 144p. Well. He is an older millennial tbf.)



    I see a small house
    Built on the sea
    I could live there alone
    With a horse and a ukulele


    Amusing to note at 42 she's an older millennial (1981-1996) and her kid is gen Z. I'm a younger millennial and I'm 32. And Alex Jones aside this is probably important because millennials and gen Z are the ones with kooky beliefs (all along the political spectrum) popularised 4chan and tumblr, nazi femboys, Whatever the [BEEP] Nick Fuentes is doing, started the #vanlife hashtag, got really into mindfulness meditation, dropped out of society to make video game content, started caring more about experience than objects en masse (causing 50k news articles about how millennials were killing every industry from napkins to diamonds.) Millennials were raised by boomers so probably absorbed their ideal life to some extent. I dunno what's going on with gen Z. They want to be the [pejorative] (mall goth) emos (seen as massively uncool,) of my generation lol. God speed.

    Gen Z took it further and started to do psychedelics again (but it was probably due in rotation after the cocaine thing, and the opiate thing.) This is how I got invited to the desert in America in my late 20s by an 18 year old on discord (who started university at age 14...) To do dmt. Actually no I can't just spend thousands to fly out to fucking California to do drugs with a very autistic 18 year old but thanks for asking lmfao. Honestly though that would be a cool reality. That whole conversation was hilarious honestly. It wasn't dmt I remembered wrong (and I'm supposed to be travelling all this way and not even. I expect some fucking machine elves. He did say potentially others tbf lol):

    Would anyone here be interested in using MDMA and psilocybin (or potentially different psychedelics and entactogens) in the middle of the Mojave desert (or potentially a different desert or a hotel or something) with me, [redacted,] and potentially [redacted] and [redacted] in the future?
    In particular, asking @Deleted User, @[redacted] @[redacted] and @[me]
    are you seriously asking half the chat to take a plane across the world to do drugs with you

    But otherwise yes?
    It would be close for [redacted] and only maybe a quarter of the world for [me.]
    Quote me
    You realise I have no money right?
    and that's fucking ages away
    We could potentially get the needed money for you, [me.]
    🤣 from where you know?

    Quote me
    I think that would be too awkward, I'd have to be in a very different place in life then I am really though I'm generally interested in psychedelics.
    OK, thank you anyway.
    If you come to denmark we could do drugs in Christiania though
    that'd be close enough
    and then [redacted] and [redacted] can probably come
    [one of the people from previous message] I have no intentions of doing drugs with any of you
    OK, I think I will plan on that then.
    this was more a way of trying to make you realize how ridiculous your idea is...
    I'm the rich person here, shouldn't it be me who comes with all sorts of crazy-expensive proposals for how to spend our time? ._.
    ill probably meet up with [redacted] and come visit you but im not doing serious drugs with you in some desert
    i'm a 30 year old trans woman
    i think you have the wrong picture of what my life looks like
    [redacted] moreso has the wrong image of what the lives of people who go do drugs in the desert are like
    (I say this as one of them)

    Also I'm doing acid on Saturday with my celebrity friend in the forest near my dorms after we decided to yesterday at our other friend's 21st

    Also I have an exam in three hours, so that's about the level of responsibility I'm demonstrating these days
    I do not think that the Christiania plan would be that feasible unless you know a specific place there where we could use MDMA and psilocybin together.
    🤣 now it's not feasible?

    Conspiracy thinking is also more popular in younger generations too. But put it this way it's a very millennial post when she starts schizotypal rambling tbh. I mean Jordan Peterson tries.

    She's caught between gen X pronatalism and millennial schizotypy/schizoidness.

    Younger gens also got really into astrology like the generation label thing, the alpha/beta etc thing (I will always point out this started out in fanfiction,) the original zodiac, MBTI etc.

    Millennials escalating their chaos I see.



    Meanwhile in the UK:

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...ury-creme-eggs

    A chocolate thief is facing jail after admitting he stole almost 200,000 Cadbury Creme Eggs in a heist worth more than ?31,000. [that question mark is a pound sign]

    Joby Pool, 32, dubbed 'the Easter bunny' by police, used a stolen lorry cab to make off with chocolate after breaking into a Telford industrial unit with a metal grinder on Saturday.
    We're about to have some black market veggie dealers out here too if things keep up.

    Lol so y'all just want everything your way huh....I want a dominant man who's submissive when I need him to be, idiots.

    Pretty sure this is what most people want, men or women

    Only abusers would like a genuinely submissive person... does someone like that even exist? I played up the ingenue thing with guys before, but if [BEEP] ever hit the fan, I am the dominant one. Heh

    @Heelsbythebridge

    No I don't think I've met someone who is completely submissive in all situations. That would basically mean they have no opinions/preferences of their own too. I think that guy was annoyed because he read it as being controlling like he'd have to perform according to her whims but it's not a rare dynamic that she brought up like guys who are mostly dominant in every day life but sexually submissive.

    Without more detail it seemed like a pretty low bar really yet he was still complaining. If anything I've read there's a statistical shortage of sexually dominant women compared to submissive men lol.

    More and more this (and related discourse) is sort of happening among American progressives and I don't think the logic exactly makes sense:

    Hot take, but this isn't that cringey. When white folks migrated to the US they were encouraged to abandon their home cultures in favor of a general whiteness which made it easier to propagate yt supremacy as a unifying force

    Instead of seeing themselves as Irish, Polish, Greek, whatever they saw themselves as White Americans. They attached their identities to their whiteness and to political parties. It quickly became 'Us vs. Them' with whites as the in group and others as the out group.
    It's also the reason why I'm the US there is such a massive range of ethnicities under the 'White' white umbrella (like west Asians and many North Africans) it's an attempt to build up larger non black numbers and hopefully encourage loyalty to white interests
    While most attempts at reclaiming European heritage are a yt supremacist dogwhistle or otherwise just cringey, this is obviously obviously not her intention and it seems to be the opposite
    This also explains cultural appropriation. So many white people don't see themselves as having 'culture,' so they try on other people's. And because of capitalism they get mad when they're told you can't just buy people's identities.
    I feel like Nordic people are weirdly not in the room for this conversation lol.*

    This isn't their culture either though. Firstly because they're American and Americans have a notably different culture from any Europeans and that's just unavoidable due to hundreds of years of separation and they're not their ancestors they're people who were born/raised in this new culture. They grew up in some variant of US culture such as it is (varies by region of course.) I mean this isn't a thing here lol unless someone is parodying Americans:



    Progressives hate this stuff too lol they have a deep resentment for US culture and often think Europe is better. I think Ethel Cain and Anne Rice could help them among others (look I don't really know you [Americans] lol. You sound so different in London from my TV/computer screen. I'm throwing out some artsy cultured non bigoted Americans I'm a fan of here. I've been told 'blue tribe' also likes those things. And thinking about it more although the parallels to Lana Del Rey are obvious I really feel like on some level Ethel Cain is the American Patrick Wolf right now. There's less landscape porn but something.) Like I can see why they wouldn't like trumptards but you know American culture isn't just self hate vs trumptard homophobes right?

    Secondly (it took a long time to get to 'secondly,') because this sort of thing usually isn't European culture and is based on some romanticised idea of the past. Not even just in the way the far right fixate in general they're trying to go back instead of creating something new. Edit: There's actually a lot of interesting potential here too this is the best thing Americans have done in recent years.

    Which is fine I guess because you also get European larpers like Varg Vikernes (who is also curiously weirdly obsessed with Tolkien for a ethnonationalist,) but it's not 'the culture' of some arbitrary important point in time everyone is grappling for because many of these ideas haven't really been carried down. A lot of the ideas being picked up are based on a fantasy about Paganism which frankly is more compelling than Christian culture I agree. Europe also lost it's culture (again to varying degrees,) after Christianity and formed a new one that didn't really work in the long term because the tension/absence continued on (Western and North West Europe particularly suffered from this,) but also because everything must come to an end when it ceases to appeal and here we are now. Something similar has occurred throughout the Islamic world because it wasn't a natural cultural evolution imo and was quite violent/oppressive and lacked integration. (At least integration without demonisation.)

    Also questioning this idea that somehow white Americans embracing ethnic diversity will cure racism. Racism still exists in Europe because non-white people live here, in some areas it's worse, and there's also a deep ethnonationalist movement in Europe so all the smaller groups of white people just fight amongst themselves. Is there slightly less focus on race when everyone's arguing about everything? Possibly but it's not an improvement in my estimation. Here in England we have class warfare over our 75 thousand accents lol. Anywhere you go in the UK you'll end up having conversations about your accent with various stereotypes discussed etc, and people form a lot of judgements based on accent alone. And we still have racism and fighting over culture + religious differences.

    Also Americans hate English people due to the history there. So this will all break down when you consider that a bunch of white Americans are mostly ethnically English. It seems largely an attempt to avoid the de-evolution of the Christian concept of original sin as it's been applied to demographic groups by recently moving it from white to English. 'I'm not English so I'm not an oppressor.' Other groups have decided Jewish people are the real oppressors obviously. This blurs into psychology discussions about whether Human groups can exist without an enemy and such, I've seen people online argue no.

    Actually to use myself as an example in this experiment I'm English but not very 'genetically' English which isn't surprising as I'm from Luton. I'm 1/8 Welsh and if you go back several generations on my mum's side there's a bunch of Scottish and Irish people who migrated to London and then moved on from there. However that's not the confusing part (as these are cultures that exist that I could move to in this hypothetical scenario,) the confusing part is that my nan was born in Danzig and her parents were from somewhere else in West or East Prussia - I forget which and none of these places exist anymore lol as states! Years ago when I was contemplating signing up for an extra agency (they find you work as an extra on TV shows etc,) they asked a lot of questions and one of those questions was about the ethnic origin of the last three generations of your family and I couldn't answer this because my nan's country no longer exists and she wasn't ethnically or culturally Polish she was actually made stateless because she wasn't ethnically/culturally Polish by the soviets after world war 2.

    Eastern and Central Europe has broken up and had people displaced and moved around a lot. Borders changing a lot. My nan's native language is German but she said her family background was Swedish and Russian if you go back a few generations but how do I verify this? She doesn't consider herself German and so which existing culture is mine? My dad identifies more as English than me (quite conservative, I do not like tories or JK Rowling and Posie Parker's whole vibe so will criticise 'establishment English culture' more than him) and he's 1/4 Welsh and 1/2 non British. His mum came to the UK in her 20s lol. He doesn't speak German though. He gave me a Russian name and that's about the extent of that connection otherwise he's very British (switched to buying everything from British businesses at some point recently too, was pro Brexit.) This is why what they are doing is stupid imo lol. Speaking as someone who is also of the 'melting-pot white' ethnic group. You will only end up larping if you have no direct connection.

    But perhaps it doesn't count because I was born in Europe and not the US? So I automatically get to be English (as does my dad,) where as Americans aren't American. Do progressive Americans not realise how different they come across to white Europeans? The same for every race too. Have they never met a black British person for example? So they think being British makes you less black and I guess this current trend in discourse is proof that they think being *insert non English European country here* makes you less white lol. Oh but they do they think Italians are 'spicy white' lol.



    He's probably middle class. But even among like working class culture here in the South people often speak multi cultural London English which takes a lot from the Caribbean due to immigration. It's no more related to black American culture than white British culture is related to the white American culture it's similar because it's Anglo and social media but again you have distinct cultures already. I mean Americans often joke about British rappers/hip-hop artists sounding funny.

    I think british rappers sound awful. Their raps don't flow, they sound stilted and awkward. Im not talking about their lyrical content, just the execution of their raps. Maybe I'm just used to American rap, i dunno.
    I think so (I don't know who they're thinking of,) I don't listen to a lot of hip-hop in general but quite like some tracks. I dunno I find Americans talking about this a very entertaining but rare cultural intersection. They often expect them to sound American.





    This is uh very British lol



    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_Gh8TWpQE8

    This is more just weird/funny lol and also closer to spoken word poetry but there are some lines I think about a lot:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3HCXh9WQSo

    MF Doom would like a word
    He raps with an American accent though
    Completely disagree even though my only exposure is through my friends' music. British accent adds flavour to a style that has gotten painfully stale in the last ten years. I also quite enjoy British metal vocalists like Sam Carter from Architects or more mellow singers like Steven Wilson.

    Idk man it's just another layer to make things interesting.
    He pops up in the weirdest places lol.

    In the US you get white working class people who absorb African American culture/AAVE to varying degrees in a similar way to how various ethnic groups use MLE here. You also get many people who don't. But it's racialised. I've gotten kind of off topic but yeah the argument they have for doing this doesn't make any sense to me. There are certainly white nationalists and white supremacists in Europe. It's not just an ethnonationalist thing because they specify like the European (white) race even if they descend into silly little squabbles about ethnicity. You can find a lot of these guys online.

    All of this is also without getting into subcultures and the very modern intersection of internet culture with real life culture where entire online vocabularies, culture norms and even Gods exist. In it's most absurd form 'is 4chan/Kekistan a country?' why is national identity supposed to stop white supremacy?


    *Edit: someone did respond lol

    We don't celebrate winter solstice though. If she wants to get in touch with nordic culture she should look into what we actually do
    Eh, she's engaging in a dialogue with her ancestors in a non-commercial context, let her cook
    She's engaging with an aesthetic she got from the TV show Vikings is what she's doing
    She's defining herself in opposition to an oppressive concept of whiteness and wanting to display that proudly, we use the tools we have
    This is embarrassing at best. I feel like we're ten years away from the US splitting up and all of the democrat states requesting Europe annex them. Not even a specific country just like they'll insist that Europe collectively annex them these same people. 'Please save us from our white supremacism.' I'm afraid racism will continue to exist in Europe and indeed in all parts of the world.

    Yeah if she would have said Jul, then i would have been like “oh okay, she actually know some shit”. Not that it’s actually that much different from Christmas, but it would have showed, she knows What we call it.
    what i think is cringe is that they always favor viking age or medieval "culture" over existing culture or culture the ancestors who settled abandoned in 18th-20th century. they're romanticizing an age that white supremacists do instead of joining a culture which is contemporary
    I know they're not thinking of where I live when they say English culture because it is incredibly multicultural and also not glamorous it's economically deprived. They're thinking of like The Holiday (2006 film.) Or some kind of Sherlock fantasy.

    Cassandra, daughter of the king and queen, in the temple of Apollo, exhausted from practising, is said to have fallen asleep; whom, when Apollo wished to embrace her, she did not afford the opportunity of her body. On account of which thing, when she prophesied true things, she was not believed.
    In The Fall of Troy, told by Quintus Smyrnaeus, Cassandra attempted to warn the Trojan people that Greek warriors were hiding in the Trojan Horse while they were celebrating their victory over the Greeks with feasting. Disbelieving Cassandra, the Trojans resorted to calling her names and hurling insults at her.


    At the fall of Troy, Cassandra sought shelter in the temple of Athena. There she embraced the wooden statue of Athena in supplication for her protection, but was abducted and brutally raped by Ajax the Lesser.

    [...]

    In some versions, Cassandra intentionally left a chest behind in Troy, with a curse on whichever Greek opened it first.[26] Inside the chest was an image of Dionysus, made by Hephaestus and presented to the Trojans by Zeus. It was given to the Greek leader Eurypylus as a part of his share of the victory spoils of Troy. When he opened the chest and saw the image of the god, he went mad.[26]
    As he should.

    I care less about trans men with "male privilege" than I do about the ones trapped in abusive marriages to cishet men where they're denied all autonomy and die without anyone ever knowing their real name

    This is too emasculating and horrible for people to fit into their idea of manhood so they pretend it doesn't happen despite being historically, and presently as fascism escalates, the most likely scenario
    (I don't think this is the most likely scenario. I mean most of the people they're talking about will remain single.)

    Also me right now:

    *reading*

    Charles Segal argues that ?Dionysus operates as the principle that destroys differences? (234); so, the difference between himself and Pentheus is going to be gradually destroyed. Himself feminine, Dionysos is going to persuade Pentheus to dress in female attire and indirectly become one of his followers, as transvestism was inherent in Dionysiac mystic initiation (Segal 33). Dionysos, as we have seen, appears, in the beginning of the play, as a kind of god-to-human cross-dresser. Pentheus later will not only become a male-to-female transvestite but also a human to-god cross-dresser as he will be partly identified with Dionysos.
    I think this is the guy 'they're' looking for. Satan never took part in these shenanigans.

    Pentheus, the king of Thebes, had banned all worship of his cousin Dionysus. Dionysus decided to wreak revenge. He sent the women of the city mad with devotion and forced them out into the glens of Mount Cithaeron. These women were his 'Bacchae'. Pentheus wanted to arrest all the Bacchae and execute the 'effeminate foreigner' (Dionysus in disguise) who was exciting them. Dionysus was arrested, he escaped, and then escorted a brainwashed (and transvestitized) Pentheus into the countryside to watch the sexual exploits of the Bacchae.
    Why isn't there a video game where you play as Dionysus? Or like any trickster God really.

    Closest thing off the top of my head is cheese man. At least I got his outfit I wanted in Oblivion. Although they did make it gendered. No one wants that dress version of his outfit. Except the people who do. At least you can mod Oblivion on PC unlike Runescape. Love Sheogorath lol. Top 10 video game characters of all time.

    There is an important lesson here though that I think a lot of people are missing. If you spend a lot of time complaining about feminine men and trans women on a political podcast or social media someone will come along and use the faceapp genderswap filter on you and try to emasculate you repeatedly. Assuming you don't do it to yourself in the first place (Steven Crowder, Graham Linehan.) It seems... Instinctive. For a lot of people. Maenads if you will.

    A lot has been made of the conspicuous absence of sex in the behavior and dialogue of Dionysus. It is Pentheus who seems obsessed with this element of the dionysiac experience. And indeed, it is this obsession that leads to his death. Before the opportunity to spy on the worshippers arises, Pentheus, though in the wrong, is strong and steadfast in his opposition to Dionysus.

    However, Pentheus is actually dionysiac by nature as, of course, his blood would dictate. Failure to repress, or fully submit to this leads first to the loss of his authority and, ultimately, to the loss of his life.
    The Klodones and the Mimallones are also mentioned by Plutarch in his biography of Alexander the Great, one of his Parallel Lives. The aetiological myth in Polyaenus may have originated or been adapted in the Aitia ('Causes") of Callimachus, but Polyaenus mentions both important points: Dionysus's ambivalent sexuality and the masculine qualities of the Maenads. This female-male-female transvestite ritual (it was only natural that Dionysus presided over it)[5] of the Klodones-Mimallones probably marked the transition of the Macedonian girls to adulthood.
    Man who wrote this Wikipedia article? This paragraph is really hard to process and there are like no sources. (the 5 just has a footnote saying 'Not uncommon in other parts of Greece: Sparta, Argos, Tegea etc.')

    Jordan Peterson subreddit lol:

    Once I've read an interesting observation that among all of the Olympic gods, Dionysus was the only one to enter a more or less proper marriage (with Ariadne, right after the Theseus/Minotaur affair). All other male gods were either tyrannical, or cheating, or ever-absent, or all of the above in respect to relationships. Dionysus was the god of wine and the voluntary temporary madness of intoxication, who punished those who were too uptight to partake in his rituals by actual permanent madness. Anyways, I am wondering if there is any point to it, is there any psychologically-backed correlation between the nature of Dionysus as a god and his qualities as a husband.
    Was probably ambivalent about sex compared to the norms of God culture and more monogamous than average for the same reason he's androgynous and liked fucking around with people it's... Kind of a feminine/androgynous profile/stereotype. Also think he fucked around a lot though especially with men and Adonis I think.

    Oh I see I've been interrupted by more insanity (yes more insane than me somehow.)

    https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/ent...b0d14ed6a6a545

    A Sacramento [BEEP] saleswoman was secretly unmasked as the leading propagandist behind a neo-Nazi network that encourages acts of far-right terror and celebrates the people who commit mass shootings
    This makes a lot of sense to me.

    It's positively Freudian.

    finding that the 33-year-old has been a neo-Nazi since her teenage years, when she became involved in various far-right communities online, many of them related to anime art.
    Yup. I see where this is going.

    pretty dictator, the Lolita of the Far Right, Lil' Lolita, hopelessfangirl, Lil' Miss Gorehound to eventually become her latest, most alarming self: Miss Gorehound, the narrator of Terrorgram.
    Pretty_dictator's LiveJournal, the young author declared, was a place for 'the personal insights of a fascist dictator in training' and 'the story of a white girl with a dream.' The page included 'meaningful quotes' from some of the most notorious Nazi-era figures, including Adolf Hitler and Rudolf Hess.
    Autoandrophiles can you not challenge. The bar is so low just don't be Hitler. Oh, I'm allowed to say this. Why can't you just be normal and try and larp as Dionysus. Or Andrew Eldritch. Also I deleted my previous long [BEEP] post about (well a bunch of things but including) the Hitler wannabe FTM (Felix Cipher) damn it. It's like the universe did this today on purpose lmfao. As I said though we've already reached maximum edgelord. (Tbf from what little I've gleaned of that ftm guy - and I could be wrong - I feel like his motivation is probably more rehabilitating Hitler + schizotypy and low level narcissistic traits and he's bipolar so it's probably actually just mania when he says he's reincarnated Hitler. Similar to Kanye in some ways and so less worrying than the psychopaths.)

    Lil’ Miss Gorehound posted the same disturbing fare as hopelessfangirl had: Nazi-inspired drawings alongside iterations of “ero guro,” a Japanese artform that mixes the grotesque and the erotic. Sometimes she blended genres, like in the online comic book she authored that told a gruesome love story about two SS officers — one woman and one man — having blood-soaked sex between bouts of slaughtering prisoners at a Nazi death camp during World War II.
    Fucking autohybristophiles man. Be a cultured degenerate like me. Also meth not even once.

    And in 2012, Humber was arrested for possession of a controlled substance — methamphetamine — and sentenced to probation and a drug diversion program.

    In 2006, hopelessfangirl posted a new bio page on DeviantArt, again listing her hometown as Elk Grove, California, and listing among her interests 'writing to serial killers.'
    These new nazi's are mostly like this though, probably were the same first time around too. Jack Donovan is just Ernst Rohm and all that. The femboys seem more incoherent to me but then again yandere are just as popular.

    Well then again Hitler probably would have hated this, and Dali would have approved.

    You guys do realise you always die in the end?

    Quote Nyctophilia View Post


    nothing but respect for autoandrophiles
    The beautiful thing about this YouTube comment is I've only just realised they're most likely talking about BAP and that makes a lot of sense and that's very gay male AAP in the vein of Donovan his personal life history/evolution seriously reads that way too lol, but it could just as easily apply to the YouTube uploader because she's also making edgy boy YouTube videos.
    I'm going to 'enjoy' watching feminists try and find ways to turn her into the victim lmfao. They just cannot process it even in the article:

    It is both striking and seemingly incongruous to the material, the way a young, average female voice (devoid of ghoulish stylization or of discernible malice and hatred) not only celebrates acts of terrorism while parroting well-established neo-Nazi tropes and slogans, but perhaps most of all the unburdened and rather natural way that this young woman uses the most cutting of racial slurs and homophobic pejoratives. It is one thing to see edgy young men describe mass murderer Dylann Roof as “Saint Roof” on a message board, for example, and quite another to hear a young woman say it aloud and without traceable irony.
    Edit: I've just realised they're describing her as a young woman but this video is said to have come out 'last fall' so 2022... So she was still 33 maybe 32. 'Young woman' Fucking hate this culture lol.

    Shannon Foley Martinez, a former American neo-Nazi who now works to de-radicalize extremists, says the Terrorgram Collective is part of a long tradition of white supremacist propagandists trying to inspire violence.
    I'm not convinced you can de-radicalise people like this because they're psychopathic paraphiles they're not motivated by hate. Dunno if the timestamp is going to work but 48 minutes in:



    Probably would have to distract them. I think they view this as a game so give them something they find more entertaining that gives them a sense of social dominance. Under different circumstances at least some of these people would have become serial killers you don't want that either of course. Difficult.

    Also not doing meth might help (I think doing meth if you have psychopathic traits or ASPD is like doing dmt if you're schizophrenic but also meth just seems like the worst drug of all time either way):

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7059248/

    This is also an insane correlation (study is in China though,) but I think people with ASPD are much more likely to do meth in the first place:

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30618872/

    Our study found the prevalence of antisocial personality disorder in male methamphetamine users was 71.4%, followed by borderline (20.2% ) and obsessive-compulsive (17.9% ) personality disorder.

    Borderline and antisocial personality disorders were found to be risk factors of methamphetamine dependence (adjusted odds ratio = 2.891, p = 0.007 and adjusted odds ratio = 1.680, p = 0.042). These findings suggested personality disorders were highly prevalent in male methamphetamine users, and the comorbidity of antisocial and borderline personality disorders are especially associated with methamphetamine dependence.
    She's in the headline and the primary focus of the story and I'm already seeing more responses focussing on her ex-boyfriend and his illegal behaviour and confused people thinking she's somehow of a conservative mindset and this is ironic in some way. We're talking about a meth head psychopath who created gore art and made edgelord livejournal posts about being a Nazi at the age of 14 people not a repressed homosexual priest.

    I think twitter still bans people for making violent threats but I stumbled on an account with 45k followers earlier that just retweets racist stuff constantly. As in it's the primary purpose of the account. Apparently their account was reinstated two weeks ago (after being banned for years,) and on the first day back it gained 9k followers somehow.
