Random Thought of the Day

[Nyctophilia]

Femboys are fundamentally incapable of being attractive. This rancid degenerate crossdressing sub"culture" makes any sane person sick to their stomach.

We should honestly ban 'femboyism' immediately, and put these disturbed individuals in psychiatric hospitals.

I don't know this seems excessive I think they're trying to get people to post pics. Can never take this seriously on twitter at this point.

Also F1nn5ter responded to this saying 'counterpoint' with a photo lol. Of course.

Because women wearing pants is not disgusting. Men wearing dresses however, is.

No but I agree they should wear crop tops and mini skirts or short shorts.

Wrong. I'm disgusted by these degenerates. But contrary to what some people think, I support gay rights.

Many such cases.

Lol the same account:

Tomboy fetishism is just men broken by motherly abandonment, yearning for the motherly warmth they never had, by wanting to [BEEP] it.

Wanting a "muscle mommy" is just another modern psychosexual Freudian slip. There's no way a man without mommy issues would ever desire this:

I see you're branching out.

Exactly. I have friends who are into tomboys. And they all have mummy issues, and admit to that lack of warmth in their childhood being the source of their tomboy fetishism.

Doesn't really make sense as tomboys aren't motherly or warm at all.

Goths are so trashy it's almost unbelievable. They're degenerate, debaucherous, covered in tattoos, and addicted to drugs.

How anyone can be attracted to these obscenely salacious madwomen who bask in wanton paganry is beyond me.

The never ending bait continues. Just pointedly going for all those meme subcultures that were made into fast food takeaways. And he's still very wrong. Also ignoring male goths mysteriously. And posting images that aren't stereotypical gothic fashion and just alternative. And no mention of music. 0/10





Is it because they have an album called Pornography lol?

Give me your eyes that I might see
The blind man kissing my hands
The sun is humming, my head turns to dust
As he plays on his knees
(As he plays on his knees)
And the sand and the sea grows
I close my eyes
Move slowly through drowning waves
Going away on a strange day

It does sound like a surreal Dali painting too I suppose.









This is the gross, internet, California, USA-ization of goth.

A real goth girl is pale, walking the moors in widows weeds, while the Cure's "Charlotte Sometimes" plays on the soundtrack.

No A Forest, Burn, The entire Pornography album, Disintegration etc.

Also I see he's one of those guys lol:

Soon a large majority of Gen Z women will be single, lonely and childless by the age of 30.

If we don't ensure that Gen Z women get married and raise families, Western Civilisation will end.

Their happiness is our cause. If we let them die alone, the West will perish with them.

We must first and foremost tackle cost of living. Already, a majority of 30yrs in England are in the aforementioned demographic. If something isn't done soon, Neo-Liberalism will have destroyed the West.

You could start by not going after androgynous men and well everyone else under the sun.

Lol he keeps tagging the sigma female like she's going to agree when she spends so much time working out and her entire persona is built around female masculinity...

The sad thing is he isn't really trolling.

i think he wants kira to see this guys

Lol definitely.

[Doseone]

Scientist, after decades of study, concludes: We don't have free will: https://phys.org/news/2023-10-scient...dont-free.html

Hinduism knew this thousands of years ago. From the Bhagavad Gita:
"All activities are carried out by the three modes of material nature. But in ignorance, the soul, deluded by false identification with the body, thinks of itself as the doer."

[Nyctophilia]

Goths are so trashy it's almost unbelievable. They're degenerate, debaucherous, covered in tattoos, and addicted to drugs.

How anyone can be attracted to these obscenely salacious madwomen who bask in wanton paganry is beyond me.

No one cares about goth men. And I'm attracted to women.

Citation needed.

I'm still annoyed by this honestly and the fact he didn't even acknowledge the music. He's some kind of reactionary socialist but thinks of tomboys, femboys and goths as being this capitalistic very online 2D memeplex thing like 'goth ihop' that are purely fetishes and hasn't even acknowledged the fucking music.... Because if he sees something sexual or that can be sexualised he's incapable of separating the two. It's ironic. Especially from someone claiming to be a 'democratic socialist.' Since it's just a capitalistic way of viewing things. He only knows the 'goth ihop,' type memes.

And I genuinely prefer bigots who hate gay people to people who just hate androgynous people like women who build muscles and men in dresses. They are always the worst kind of delusional hypocrites. 'You can be gay as long as you're not gay' since on average homosexual people have more androgynous brains...

Femboy is just a term people invented because there was no non-insulting version of tomboy and it was instantly turned into a fetish thing since it was created post internet so they were basically fucked from this pov. If you only view feminine men as some kind of hypersexual degenerate thing like they don't exist outside of that, you're really telling on yourself.

He retweeted someone saying that he misses when 'tomboys were just women who wore men's clothing.' Firstly women who work out a lot and try to build muscles have always existed. And they're so retarded they don't even realise that they just accept whatever is seen as normal now. That's how limited conservative people are. 20-40 years from now most of this will be normal and they're going to be freaking about something else.... Also the way most cishetmen hate androgynous men has always pissed me off. And is the real reason a lot of people want to destroy you. So learn quicker.

Also this [BEEP] keeps going on about the UK so I assume he's from the UK and seems nationalistic and anti-immigration somewhat white nationalist-adj, which isn't surprising since his politics are an incoherent mix and Americans follow a pattern even if it's dumb.

We should ban all medically unnecessary breast reductions

"I base all policy decisions on my personal sexual preferences."

I'm trying to avoid being blocked by this guy lol so I've only said a few things to him. People are really trigger happy with blocking. I just find people who are intolerant but keep banging on about Islamists to be racist hypocrites. Do you want Islamism/Sharia culture or Islamism/Sharia culture light with White/Western branding?

Neither thanks!





It takes me less than 5 minutes on twitter now to find people talking about IQ. Like it's constant and all over the platform. This never used to be a major discussion topic:

Can you predict IQ based on grades? One meta-analysis suggests the answer is yes. It found that the correlation between IQ and grades was r = 0.54. That means a scatterplot of the data would look like this:

I bet the dude at 145+ IQ and GPA of 2.3 is an interesting character.

And the person in the 80s with a GPA of 3.8 must be the king of the Grinds!

The correlation is better for people with IQs below 105. Which jives with my experience of public school.

Above 130 interesting.

If you were target shooting, you wouldn't be happy with that group.

Almost no correlation.

It didn't correlate that well for me since most of my grades when leaving were C so average. I got a D in maths the first time I took it at GCSE too. But I scored 119 last time I took an IQ test which tbf I think is upper end of average but then you'd expect more B's I'd think. There were also wide disparities between most of my mock exam results and the final grade. I put in no effort in Religious Education but came out with a B but got like an E or something in the mock exam. That only counted as half a GCSE though but we were all forced to take that course which is really why?

Also was predicted a low grade in graphics but got a C (I was really bad with most of the exams but my coursework got like B grades and maybe an A at one point can't remember, but that was less percentage of overall grade than exam I think can't remember now.) I was predicted an A* in history and got an A on the mock exam and got A* in all the coursework, but got a B overall because I obviously messed up that exam. Think some of my other grades were low too? But can't remember now. I was predicted a B in science at one point because I was good at biology but less good in other subjects but I got a C. So predictions weren't great in general for me. And also I'm really inconsistent with exams. But it's probably more that some teachers were biased ni one direction or another lol.

But my IQ also increased over the years and who knows when it did most likely after school. I just think it's useless for many people.

Instead of trying to pursue something related to religious education of history though I just tried to study game development related topics and then dropped out of society and became a YouTuber haha. Don't do that.

Reminder, IQ is a better predictor of job performance than grades or years of education/degrees. A high IQ high school grad is usually a better employee then a low iq PhD

Defying your rules again. I think personality is more relevant in most cases.

Need to compound with conscientiousness to see more of the picture.

Yeah something like that because I find it almost impossible to make myself do anything (sometimes even things I enjoy,) and I was also bad at planning and just came up with unrealistic goals for various projects etc. Possibly undiagnosed ADHD.

It means that 54% of grades can be explained by IQ. The other 46% is presumably study habits, educational history, effort, etc. in short IQ is the most important factor, more important than anything else.

That's only about 50% then.

this just backs up what we already know:
Asians highest IQ, grades, income
blacks: lowest IQ, grades, income

It's not very intelligent to structure a society where people's self worth is tied to their intelligence and income.

In fact none of what you are doing in this tweet thread is remotely intelligent.

Someone knew that:







Notice a pattern? (I actually think the education system is more like the prison system though lol, especially if you come from a not-so-great town.)

If you maximise competition among unequal people you create an unstable system that will inevitably collapse. 'Please don't kill us' they secretly beg as they continue to brag and view those who don't succeed in life with contempt.

If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd assume the people who are doing this, are doing this (either subconsciously or consciously,) specifically to destabilise the society they live in or to destabilise other countries. Possibly because they're bored. You can't really play a zero sum game with society though.

Twitter seems particularly set up to encourage envy and to destabilise various cultures. Especially America because Americans use that website the most. A lot of people globally have contempt for America and Americans.

And the richest man on the planet, owns the website.

Hmmmmmmm.

Unfortunately twitter isn't the problem. Twitter is a symptom.

[Nyctophilia]

Also I've had various skin issues for years (esp on my face, also seems partly hormonal,) and had some issues with eye cysts in my early 20s that are back atm which is annoying. I have this microwavable eye bag thing that worked last time in getting rid of this lump I had that was stuck around for a long time even after it was no longer sore.

I tried various things suggested to me by doctors and this eye cream stuff and nothing really worked but then I stumbled on that eye bag while googling things and it worked which was good timing because they were considering surgery lol. I didn't want to do that since it was a mostly cosmetic issue at that point. I think I heard them mention that I have blepharitis. For some reason this only came up when I went to the hospital and not my GP the several times I did before then.

I think the reason one of my other methods didn't work was because it didn't reach the right temperature. I was just using hot water but it wasn't hot enough.

Anyway hopefully the soreness + swelling goes away soon.

[...]

Unfortunately twitter isn't the problem. Twitter is a symptom.

It's not just the IQ thing the website really is just an endless stream of this sort of thing now:

This generation is completely doomed. They can't even hold a 9-5 job without having a mental breakdown.

It's much much worse than this. I employ them and I could tell you a story about 1 they/them/he/thing that went nonverbal on us mid shift, due to a small customer question, and communicated by typing in notepad on phone and showing us.

Did you type back saying 'YOU'RE FIRED!'

Unfortunately no. It's really hard out there for small business. We rely on the young labor force and they're essentially unreliable. You pretty much must accept anything remotely functional that applies, and then allow nature to take course; while you suffer.

Resumes with pronouns go in the trash. It's a really easy way to screen out people who are toxic to a positive and operational workplace.

People pointed out that person is probably autistic and yeah they probably are. But he's got a response for that lol:

There are people with special needs, and then there are people who put themselves on the spectrum. You'll just have to take my word that this was 100% self-diagnosis and bafoonery.

Actually most aren't diagnosed especially if afab. What they noticed is trans and especially genderqueer/non-binary people often have a high rate of associated traits and symptoms when tested:

Traits associated with autism and gender variance co-occur even among typical children, a new study suggests1. The finding may ease some of the skepticism about the overlap between autism and gender nonconformity.

They've now found this in both clinical and non clinical populations:

But most previous studies have probed the relationship among people who sought gender-related medical care -- often for gender dysphoria, a condition in which the 'mismatch' between gender identity and sex assigned at birth causes significant distress. That cohort doesn’t represent the full scope of gender-diverse people, says Aron Janssen, associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, who was not involved in the work.

"It's so vital to understand this question outside of the clinical context," Janssen says. “A more naturalistic study with this many participants outside of a clinical context really does provide a lot of support for this overlap.”

[...]

Most of these studies analyzed either autism traits among people who visit gender clinics or gender variance among people diagnosed with autism. By contrast, the new work reveals an association between gender variance and autism traits among 6- to 12-year-old children in the general population.

The study is the first to suggest this “more ubiquitous pattern,” says lead researcher Doug VanderLaan, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Toronto Mississauga in Canada.

About 30,000, or 5 percent, of the cisgender people in the study have autism, the researchers found, whereas 895, or 24 percent, of the gender-diverse people do.

Gender-diverse people also report, on average, more traits associated with autism, such as sensory difficulties, pattern-recognition skills and lower rates of empathy -- or accurately understanding and responding to another person's emotional state. And they are five times as likely to suspect they have undiagnosed autism as cis people are, based on one dataset of 1,803 people whose survey included this question.

Some studies have indicated that autistic women have lower rates of heterosexual orientation than autistic men do.[22][21] This was also corroborated by an online survey conducted by the University of Cambridge and published in Autism Research. That survey suggested that autistic women had a wider range of sexual identification than both non-autistic women and autistic men. Younger respondents had a higher likelihood for reporting themselves as homosexual than did older respondents.[23] According to a 2021 review, some studies indicated that autistic women were about three to four times as likely to be bisexual when compared to non-autistic women.[21]

Steven Stagg and Jaime Vincent of Anglia Ruskin University concluded in September 2019 that some of those seeking advice and help for their gender identity may be autistic, whether diagnosed or not, with these abilities impeding possible support, and urged clinicians treating individuals who are transgender or non-binary, especially those assigned female at birth, to consider whether they have undiagnosed ASD.[43]

Other researchers have noted the prevalence of autistic traits among those who identify as non-binary or genderqueer.[43] Two Warwick University researchers, utilizing data from 446 UK adult respondents, concluded in January 2016 that, based on their sample, genderqueer individuals were more likely to be autistic than any other group with gender dysphoria.[49][50]

In a 2021 study on autistic camouflaging, gender-diverse autistic adults were found to use more autistic camouflaging than cisgender autistic adults.[56]

A January 2023 study on trans and non-binary adults found that higher autistic traits and higher gender minority stress were correlated with poorer mental health outcomes.[57]

This is often true btw my brother's friend is actually diagnosed autistic and he has a really high pitched voice and also had a bunch of feminine interests when we were teenagers like enjoying fanfiction and being into crystals at one point like nerdy masculine interests, but also nerdy feminine interest:

MCCLURG: Dr. Lawrence Fung is a psychiatrist at Stanford University. He is studying why people who are transgender or nonbinary are also more likely to have autism. He says hormones may be a factor.

FUNG: Females on the spectrum seem to have more testosterone and masculine features on their faces. On the other hand, males on the autism spectrum - they have more feminine features.

MCCLURG: For example, clinicians have noticed that males with autism can have a high-pitched voice. Fung's research also shows that the brains of autistic men and autistic women are different. The part of the brain responsible for sensory and motor functions may hold the key to this sex difference. Eventually, neuroscience could help explain why people with autism are more likely to question their sex assigned at birth. There is a clear overlap between these groups, but a lot more research is needed to understand the roots of what could be at play. Danielle Sullivan is curious what scientists will discover about her lived experience.

The last time I saw him irl in 2018 he just randomly started talking about how he felt like he couldn't express himself back in high school in regards to his interest in fashion etc, among other topics.

Even putting aside trans and non-binary people (and he isn't part of either group,) there seems to be a significant overlap between gender non-conforming traits and interests and autism. Which makes this general argument so shit.

And I'm really tired of people not taking genetic female people seriously in general. The person who uploaded the video that Ian is complaining about, was also a woman. Everything is framed through this lens where it's like 'you're just making [BEEP] up because you're an evil/bad person.'

That being said this still pisses me off more:

It's disgusting, that's why. Men are supposed to dress like men, not perverted misogynistic images of japanese schoolgirls.

We should honestly ban this debauchery of femboyism immediately, and put these rancid hippies in psychiatric hospitals. Preferably in solitary confinement.

Leave them alone. You fucking prick.

The vengeful aspect of my being is sort of glad that US (and UK,) culture is collapsing. Or it would be if I felt they'd learn from it. No one will, the same personality types will persist and these attitudes will probably always continue.

This is unsustainable and it's just been getting worse since the 70s:



My dad was talking about this younger guy he used to work with (currently about my age.) The last time I visited. He said he was always a good worker with him but not with this other older guy who would always complain about him. He eventually went on to get a much better job too somewhere else but developed substance abuse issues. My dad felt it was because of personal issues he had with his mum having casual sex with various men which she'd bring home, which I guess he must have brought up to him at some point.

My dad is very critical too and was always complaining about other people he worked with, so it's not just that he had low standards in general lol.

Why don't you give us your full name and your place of work so that we can decide who was in the write or wrong after you get reported for discrimination against an autistic person.

Keep calling them things. Fuq these people who don't run a business and don't understand how these pronoun clicks damage the workplace. No fucs given. It weeds out the ones who can't get their hands dirty.

You mean cliques? I'm so glad I never even tried. Well I guess I did for a brief period academically, and then dropped out of this shit.

Reminder that if you're trans 1 in 3 people in the UK won't hire you if they know.

I was actually looking for this tweet though:

By any objective standards, Hamas is a far-right, reactionary, theocratic, fascist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, racist, antisemitic group.

The fact that many Western Leftists sympathize with it, promote its propaganda, repeat its talking points, and/or make excuses for it, will be remembered by future historians as one of the most bizarre features of the 2020s.

So they deserve to be killed and we should all become pro war when we're not? [BEEP] off. Especially [BEEP] off since you're transphobic and have posted lots of transphobic stuff over the past few years.

Half the people living in Gaza are under 18 too which is pretty insane.

There is nothing bizarre about it. The one, the only thing uniting the left is a hatred of white people, and they absolutely consider Jews to be white. Every single "principle" the left has goes right out the window as long as they hate whites.

This is such a ridiculous and incorrect analysis of most people's viewpoint.

Victim complex much, brah? Also wow, the amount of fucking people replying to this who actually think they are smart is fucking embarrassing. As someone who probs talks about iq a lot I'm surprised you're not ashamed yaself having these troglodytes in ya menchies

Oh yes. Definitely.

This was just me today lol:



It's a shame Ethel Cain doesn't like her older material (under other names,) because this one track is great. Like Lady Gaga fused with witch house lol. She took them off spotify a while ago though, and doesn't want people sharing them around I think (unclear though. I think her position on that has changed over time.) I get why she doesn't because it's not serious and silly/comical but it's very entertaining. And I mean this exists:



I think she's scared of being defined by stuff she doesn't think is her best work.

[Nyctophilia]

I agree, female villains are supposed to be safe edgy quirky girlbosses! They can't *actually* be reprehensible and disturbing that's not disney wholesome marvel chungus!!

can we get some more female villains that arent pedophilic groomers

people don't want villains they want grumpy edgy anti-heroes lmao

Yeah or anti-villains.

The Hays Code and it's consequences.

Because of the Hays Code, positive portrayals of homosexual characters were barred, and the only characters in fiction that could be perceived as homosexuals had evil roles and were punished throughout the work.[12] Thus, villains became noted in particular to have effeminate characteristics, behaviors or gestures that could be perceived as LGBTI.[13][14] Disney characters have attracted attention because their films are popular among children.[15][16][17] Examples include:

Governor Ratcliffe in Pocahontas, who is the only male character with makeup, braided hair and bows, and wears pink.
Ursula in The Little Mermaid was inspired by the drag queen Divine.
Scar in The Lion King, who has mannered[clarification needed] gestures.
Captain Hook in Peter Pan.
Hector Barbossa in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
The character 'HIM' in The Powerpuff Girls, who dresses in a tutu and heels.
The Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland, as an anti-hero.

The idea of non-explicit [BEEP] coding likely stems from the strict regulations of how [BEEP] characters were able to be portrayed in the early days of film-making. In 1930, the Hays Code was established as a standard for what was allowed to be shown on the big screen.[1] According to the code, films were not allowed to portray "perverse" subjects such as homosexuality, which inevitably led to the portrayal of non-explicit [BEEP] characters. The trend of the inclusivity of [BEEP] characters in a subtextual way likely bled into modern portrayals of [BEEP] characters. One scholar, Jo Johnson, argued that Jerry in the Tom & Jerry cartoons had an androgynous design, even if feminized, and noted a possible homoerotic subtext between Jerry and Tom, especially when there is cross-dressing.[2] Johnson pointed to the 1966 short "Jerry-Go-Round", by Chuck Jones, as having a coded same-sex relationship between Jerry, who was gendered by Jones as female, and a female elephant who wears a pink tutu. She argued that the episode's ending could be read as a "prophetic depiction of Gay Pride".[3] Cade M. Olmstead, an interdisciplinary philosophy scholar, built upon Johnson's work. He argued that Tom and Jerry "subverts normalized gender and sexuality structures" through theatrical play and performance, transgressing the normal construction of gender.[4] Despite the [BEEP] coding in "Bugs Bunny" and "Tom & Jerry" cartoons, as scholars Deborah A. Fisher, Douglas L. Hill, Joel W. Grube, and Enid L. Gruber noted, before 1970, almost no gay characters were on television, and they remained relatively absent "until the 1990s".[5] Continuing from the late 1980s, villains in Disney films which were [BEEP] coded appeared in this decade.[6] Commentary on the treatment of LGBT+ characters in film is made in the 1995 documentary The Celluloid Closet, and is one of the first instances in which the idea of [BEEP] coding is presented to the public.[7]

Disney especially is bad when it comes to agentic female characters who aren't villains. Like Aurora in Sleeping beauty is the most attractive Disney princess (I said what I said she's a 2D character,) but realistically do you want to be Aurora or do you want to have a castle and shapeshift into a dragon to fight the boring guy who no one's going to remember because he's the cartoon equivalent of a Ken doll? Exactly. A lot of people don't want to be Aurora or the various male Disney characters. The most interesting thing about the new Barbie film is it encouraged people to identify with Ken.

I mean a lot of people find the idea of living in the woods, detached from everything an appealing fantasy too. (Like Aurora very #cottagecore.) And a lot of people identified with Matilda as a kid but they were still self inserting as Matilda a lot of the time. Obviously because you watch it when you're a kid, but also because she has magic powers in the work and had various other positive traits that people find aspirational. The villain is still the most masculine female character in the work. Archetypically speaking it's like if someone took Maleficent and made her a kid and the protagonist, added Aurora back in as some kind of feminine mother figure, and then just created a super butch female character who is the new villain. She had to be female and a child because imagine a similar dynamic with adults and it just would never happen in the West. It's like if Loki was suddenly the hero in Marvel and saves ??? (because there's no really feminine characters in the MCU,) from Thor who is evil.

Closest thing I guess (spoilers):



Oh this doesn't have all the bits in it I wanted. It's impossible to find some clips without spoilers in the thumbnail and title.

"you really are the worst, brother"

He's also a comic relief character whose power is reduced in the MCU for story telling reasons. He barely uses magic and predominantly relies on other tools and daggers in the MCU. He shouldn't really be that weak compared to Doctor Strange for example. The same is true for a lot of other characters though in the MCU like Wanda and The Hulk. Probably all of them to some extent I'm not a huge comic book fan but I think they're all disempowered for MCU storyline to varying degrees.

Obviously Squirrel Girl would defeat Thanos as one of the most powerful Marvel characters.

Cracks me up.

All of her adventures within the 616 are canon, which means she’s canonically beaten Thanos and Doom (on multiple occasions); and she’s canonically defeated most of the major superheroes and villains on Earth.

She has canonically claimed to be Unbeatable, on many occasions, and Thor agrees with that assessment. (They are canonically mutuals on Twitter.) As for whether it’s possible for her to be beaten, well… that’s the sort of negative thinking which is not conducive to superheroism. If you go around calling yourself Beatable, then you’re already halfway toward failure.

Could anyone beat Squirrel Girl? We can’t say for sure. Just because it hasn’t happened yet, that doesn’t mean it’s literally impossible. We’ll have to wait and see.

Tbf you don't want to [BEEP] with squirrels:



And this is why Studio Ghibli is much better:



Dragons aren't evil, bishounen characters, more likeable and less 2D male characters who often have character development, female characters can be complex characters who are also not evil. Sassy black cat.

Disney improved over time (and I'm not watching recent films either,) but since they started making films earlier a lot of them are archaic and unappealing.

If you deviate from various tropes Jordan Peterson will apparently have an aneurism:



You don't think women like stories where they save other women? Or men? Really? You don't think this is catering to some desire in a certain demographic of people (not you.)

At least Frozen is new and not rebooting the past. That's a negative cycle people are stuck in right now.

I actually kind of disagree with his assessment of it. It's definitely not an archetypal story in the basic sense, but that doesn't mean that it's bad. It probably was written with the goal of subverting the damsel in distress trope, but that's also not inherently bad. If that makes it propaganda, then it's pretty wispy propaganda. I mean hell, what's wrong with telling a story where the "male hero" doesn't save everything because he's not the main character? He's just there because it's fun to see Anna develop a relationship with someone along side her own adventure that he gets tangled up in and helps with. As long as the overall story is worth telling, it's all fine. Evidently Jordan doesn't feel that Frozen's story was worth telling. I admit that it's not exactly an epic tale that resonates with your sole, but does it need to be?

Yeah no that's not allowed apparently. Everything has to appeal to Jordan Peterson or it's bad lol.

Jordan: I've got something comical to say...
Me: Oh great!
Jordan: The only chance juvenile orangutans have of mating is rape!
Me:

Still the best part of this video.

1:56 I've never heard a better explanation of beta males.

As a guy who used to be incapable and scared of competition, I resorted to making feminism a focus in my life to win some sort of approval from women. It's gross, dishonest, and weak. Focus on yourself, and do what you want/know is right.

competition is for animals that don't do new stuff. and when not enough animals in the society do new stuff, you get the orangutan situation. only one orangutan grows to full size wat? smh

there is nothing new under the sun.

were the engineers who created the iphone thinking and behaving the same way as the engineers before them? lol.

i get what you mean about human nature, but there is always room for creativity. if we all thought EXACTLY the same, then we wouldn't have anything new on this planet at all. no new technology, no new concepts, philosophies, attempted methods of government, etc. i'm not saying the attempts at newness succeed all the time. most of the time they fail, because most people don't go along with it because of basic human nature, like you said

I don’t know what your point is. People have always been the same and we’ve always been competing.

You said there was nothing new under the sun. Then we agreed that there was new stuff, like technology. I think most people throughout human history have been competing, but there is a small minority that eschewed competition in favor of just creating new stuff so we didn't have to compete for the old stuff. I myself fall into the latter category, what about yourself?

Granted, I think that small minority has always been present, so maybe you're right, that's not necessarily new, but the stuff they created was and is new.

No they're right and the obsession with zero sum competition is actually the thing that's destroying the west too imo. I wouldn't expect people who use terms like beta male to really get that though.

People who make new stuff compete too.

They very rarely have this mindset. I actually don't think you can create if you're fixated on competition. Competition is most people's focus now. Most of the people who are super rich and competitive in society steal other people's ideas too honestly.

Disney chronically has dysfunctional families missing the mother or father, in this one both parents are killed off early. Then the older sister attacks the younger, twice, the second time killing her. But the theme of the movie is, let it go. And, as in the remake of Sleeping Beauty, the main male character is the real bad guy. In this one the Prince, in Sleeping Beauty the Father. In fact the father in Sleeping Beauty remake Rapes the evil Faerie (justifying calling God evil although made up in His case), Cuts off her wings (throws satan out of heaven) which makes the woman so angry she steals the baby (to protect her of course). She is cold and distant as a parent, teaches her witchcraft and gives, eventually, loves first kiss. Getting her to attack her own father in his ivory tower (Tower of Babel style "let's storm the castle, and take heaven and kill God.") Lucifer perceives himself to "enlighten" mankind which is really to teach us to sin. In Frozen the Prince (lets say God again) is jealous of the Princess' power and wants to marry her only to get it, then kill her (God knows you shall not surely die, but shall be like Him knowing good from evil - portraying God as jealous of mankind, ridiculous but Eve then Adam fell for it). And of course they did die. Have you met either one?

What drugs do you take?

Maybe I should watch this lol. I haven't watched Maleficent but I know that a lot of older films are essentially just demonising non-conforming women and [BEEP] people so new works often reverse that and many people are uncomfy. You don't need drugs either (as I don't do any lol.) You just have to listen to the crap Christians write (I'm pretty sure the person commenting that YouTube comment is a Christian though the way they've written it makes it slightly confusing,) and that you can find in many places online and what people do with certain archetypes. Satan alternates between being a feminine or perhaps female character aspiring to be treated equally by men, and an outgroup male who threatens ingroup men by 'seducing their women.' And obviously the groups can overlap in the case of a lesbian and the serpent in Eden which is often conflated with Lilith. That's basically it and that's the game everyone is playing.

We had a bunch of hens without a rooster, and one of the hens rose to the top of the pecking order and then she actually grew spurs. She still laid eggs btw, but she also had spurs and the other hens followed her around

That's useless for Jordan Peterson's purposes lol. But while we're all circling around this. This was one of the biggest mistakes the west (tm) ever made:

I really think it's absurdly overblown to call anything that deviates in simple archetypes to be propaganda for the simple reason that it deviates from the norm, especially when disney has already made a massive profit off of these standard archetypes time and time again. What's next, the evils of Shrek? The genetic talk may very well have proper backing, but it didn't really need to be included, as it's essentially a part of an entirely different discussion they're having. I find it fascinating that while Peterson talks about bettering yourself and having the capabilities to be healthy and secure a proper masculine place (and he has very well-thought, positive, methodical ways of achieving that), he also creates in-groups and out-groups that are defined and have a eugenicist like edge. Additionally, there's the ideas he brings forth of taking responsibility for what's around you, yet in the same breath, he will blame generally unnamed boogeymen or "post-modern neomarxists" as the cause of problems. However, my idea might be from just the clips I've seen of him. If anyone has any links to videos that prove me otherwise, I'd really like to see. He's helped a lot of people I know and respect get more in control of their lives, as well as just being an admired speaker within my circle of friends.

His real outgroup is a certain subset of non-conforming and/or powerful feminine people and women because he's scared of emasculation:









This isn't a coincidence because he's a Christian.

Pretty fun though.

Also every storyline anyone comes up with is re-written inside individual people's heads according to their own interpretation and preferences and then they find people with a similar interpretation online and discuss that and create fanfiction and fanart etc. Obviously that predates the internet by a long while but the internet increased the amount that was happening. So most of the stories written by and for men have been re-written by women now who wanted something different from the work and also saw something different in the work. And when you grow up with stuff like that you realise that it doesn't matter anyway. Because you can adopt whatever lens you want for any fictional work. And he absolutely hates that subjectivity but it's going to happen and it happens because not everyone is like him. So this idea of like Frozen upsetting some sacred gender balance in fiction I mean there was no such thing.

This is from a long time ago:

As one of the earliest "fandom" subcultures to emerge, Star Trek and K/S have attracted the attention of academics, particularly those of slash fiction. Henry Jenkins argued that "fandom" subculture, including fan writing, allows underrepresented groups to express their own interests and anxieties via a dominant cultural phenomenon. In this process, fan writings rewrite the original media by expanding on, emphasizing, and filtering the content to various extents. Jenkins claims that the way K/S reappropriates the Star Trek narrative and characters to the fan’s own interpretation is thus done by all fan writings, not just K/S.[22]

Many academics have suggested that K/S slash fiction is not about homosexuality or sex at all. Joanna Russ argued that the women who wrote K/S slash fiction were exploring a want for an idealized relationship where both partners were truly equal, unbound by gender norms. This kind of relationship was difficult to imagine in a heterosexual relationship, and thus K/S was born.[23] Lamb and Veith similarly claimed that an equal relationship was challenging to write into a heterosexual model, and K/S united masculine and feminine traits of both characters to create an "androgynous" combination. Then K/S slash fiction is about transcending gendered norms and relationships.[24] Falzone has suggested that K/S "queers" the original Star Trek narrative, which serves to liberate one from traditional beliefs and, specifically with regards to Star Trek, better imagine the prejudice-free utopia that was envisioned in Star Trek: The Original Series. It also enables fans to push back against corporate media’s control of accepted narratives in the Star Trek universe.[25]

Never shipped them though personally even though I went through a phase of being really into Spock lol. I mean I'm a really bad fan who got into his character because of the reboot trilogy LOL. So by that point Spock/Uhura just made more sense. I'm not in general a big Star Trek fan really although I watched some of the next generation as a kid.

I also used to read lots of slash fanfiction. If I was going to ship him with a male character it would be Bones probably? I often ship people who are rivals or don't get on that well together because it's more interesting. Like Cloud/Sephiroth, L/Light from Death note, Ann/April from Parks and Rec, Jesus/Satan, Ted/Am from I have No Mouth and I must Scream. It's getting worse archetypally send help.

Although I was really into Merlin/Arthur fanfiction at one point and then Loki/Darcy are basically the same character in a lot of ways, also Langley (X-files)/Spencer Reid doesn't really fit that archetype at all. So not always. This isn't an exhaustive list of every fanfic pairing I've read/characters I've shipped there have been so many over the years especially as a teenager tons, but some examples.

It's just this over and over again lol:



So after decades of this, people want villains they can identify with like The Joker, Riddler, Patrick Bateman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Sephiroth, and Loki.

There are other cultural trends too like younger people sympathise more with Frankenstein's monster now and vampires, where as past generations don't.

"Mister writer sir, can I have some girl villain but don’t make her villain, just make her mean but don’t make too mean just make her sweet old girlboss, but remember she’s still a villain mister writer sir!"

This is actually 50% of villains lol (regardless of gender):





Most people realised they weren't supposed to identify with heroes a long time ago lol.



This is basically like an attempt at therapy:

[Nyctophilia]

I think this might be the most random video I've ever stumbled on and at the same time it makes a lot of sense that I was suggested this:

Midwest Emo but it's Jordan Peterson Finally Snapping

He doesn't think feminine people should be monsters. He only thinks masculine people should be monsters. If they're powerful in ways he disagrees with then he dislikes it. He also conflates female promiscuity and success on instagram - an image based site - with reputation destruction which if anything is more common on twitter. Surely it happens on every site but it's definitely more typical of twitter.

So the more women get power the more the world crumbles into chaos?

😂😂😂😂 when a religious text predicted that uncontrolled women cause the destruction of their societies- wonder if they had experienced this somewhere tens of thousands of years ago.

Congratulations ladies. You have taken down Western Civilization. When the barbarians breach the gates your calls for help will go unanswered.

Have you heard of a self fulfilling prophecy? If not I'd suggest watching the movie Antichrist.

Female participation in society continues to be a mistake.

??? You mean the almost 50% of the world who is female? Slight minority I suppose. This is why men who are against male homosexuality are dumb.

As of 2021, There are 3,970,238,390 or 3,970 million or 3.97 billion males in the world, representing 50.42% of the world population. The population of females in the world is estimated at 3,904,727,342 or 3,905 million or 3.905 billion, representing 49.58% of the world population. The world has 65,511,048 or 65.51 million more males than females.

It seems like a small amount percentage wise but when you see it put like that that's a [BEEP] ton of men who under no circumstances could get into a committed relationship if we were actually monogamous. Before you even consider anything else it would simply be mathematically impossible if they are heterosexual.

Anyway you're participating constantly if you have the ability to communicate....

These are all comments on Jordan Peterson short videos btw. If I want to read unhinged comments (and I do,) I can just look on these videos. The second best source after just browsing twitter:

I am well versed in this. My husband was a higher ranking NCO when in the Army. In charge, always on. When he got out it was obvious he would take a higher position similar to what he was doing in the Army. Left for work by 10AM?ON THE DOT!!

It was about a 35 mile drive one way. He was ON until about 9:30-10PM when he made the trip home. Never made time for us, always about the job. Pretty much ruined our marriage but we did not divorce. He finally retired but he was always antsy, like he should be doing something. I saw an old picture of him today and he looked exhausted. It was in his eyes. No joy, only resigned acceptance. I cried when I saw it.

Unhinged responses to above comment:

And no matter how much we work and provide, we are almost NEVER appreciated. It's one of many reasons men have stopped dating or left the country. Not many hear have any love, loyalty, or respect, they only want "someone to pay for me" and give nothing back. Not worth it. They need to get a job, live alone and pay for themselves FOREVER, just like they wanted. And since they frequently CELEBRATE the record sue - weee - syydes of men and boys, we should do it too. Come on, get those number up, 5 10 100 times more! You wanted to be like men, you got it, your DIS - POSE _ UHBLE now, just like us. You all deserve it.

Almost none of you say a word about how we 've been dee - moral - ysed since Kindergarden and most of you joined in, so you deserve the same exact treatment. GET THOSE NUMBER UP!

So more blaming the men, get out there and do everything yourself, work and live alone and pay for yourself, FOREVER, just like you wanted. And get those sue - wee - syde numbers up to match ours so we can CELEBRATE it just like you do!

Sorry to disappoint you but cisgender women will probably never commit suicide at the same rate as men for several reasons but one is that they're more likely to believe they have inherent self worth.

You should try not to need women sometime but literally. Not in the 'I'm going to go abroad REEEEE. Please kill yourself.' Sense lol.

Please be considerate and avoid China btw if you're not homosexual. They fucked up their gender ratio due to sex selective abortion. If you don't he might create another rap and nobody wants that:



It's honestly one of the worst things I've ever heard. (Still.)

I don't know if YouTube ads are targeted but it's very confused about me. I get ads for men's clothing (I mean it actually said 'men's clothing' in the ad) and pregnancy tests. I guess I'll wear men's clothing if it fits. I rarely buy clothes in general. That expensive mushroom cardigan I liked was also technically a man's cardigan but it was a feminine enough design that that wasn't clear.

And also obviously:



And there's absolutely 0 chance of me being pregnant unless I get raped lol. Even when I was in relationships with men we didn't have intercourse.

Then there were like 'buy this house' ads even more confused.

"Vintage clothes for men."

I usually use adblocker on YouTube and I have it turned off atm and it's creeping me out. I don't want pregnancy test ads.

I remember someone saying at one point that the ads are really targeted and could tell when people were pregnant before they knew so I'm like. 'Am I pregnant?' Why would the aliens do this to me? Is this like a Mary situation? This is going to make all that Jesus/Satan fanfiction I read years ago pretty awkward.

In fairness I do like 'vintage men' I guess:



"We noticed you've hatewatched lots of Jordan Peterson content and also Rush music videos and 80s music."

🤣

If I listen to this 500 times do you think it will start suggesting me bdsm stuff?



Shocking that it isn't already. Not sure if they're allowed to advertise on YouTube though, prob not unless it's an adult rated video. It's still just 'vintage/retro clothing for men.'

No I don't drink Jack Daniel's either haha. I think maybe I did once? But it wasn't mine. But maybe it was some other whisky. I don't remember I also got very drunk that time so I was drinking lots of stuff and I haven't drunk any alcohol in like....... I don't know now but it's been many years.

I don't think they're all targeted anyway some seem pretty generic or maybe based on the video I'm currently watching or something.

[Nyctophilia]

Lol someone just commented on one of my videos saying they saw a gif of [something insane] and immediately knew it was from one of my videos. Well they were right...

Now I kind of want to know what context that gif was posted in lol.



This is a great song.

Also this:

[Doseone]

I've been looking through the r/amiugly subreddit and 90% of the people posting are attractive. lol.

[Nyctophilia]

It's kind of depressing that most kids are probably going to learn about rape before sex now. When I was a kid I learnt about anal sex before other forms of sex and that was unusual I guess, but things have gotten a lot worse.

Like just thinking about how gross I thought sex was (no learning about other types didn't help as a kid,) if it wasn't for erotica I read online I'd probably have an even worse impression because we barely had sex education and what I got over the years from my mum and from text books was all kind of weird and clinical. Then just imagining the kind of kid I was (anxious, + an avoidant attachment style increasingly common personality type now,) compacted with the reality of like Andrew Tate etc which 1/4 of boys are quoting. I imagine most adult women won't want sex at all in the future because when you have an estrogen dominant hormone system you really don't have a particularly strong drive in the first place most of the time, especially as an adult. Like mine was a lot stronger as a teenager (I felt kind of singular in this regard too, no girls I knew really talked about sex at all,) and then that mostly disappeared later. Even then it's probably not enough to overcome all the social bullshit happening now.

I actually masturbate quite a lot, but when my anxiety was worse I mostly stopped and at other stressful and busy periods of my life I did it less. It's supposed to be a fairly good indicator of your actual sex drive (at least if you're female but I can think of some arguments against that. Like I wouldn't say I do it because I need to most of the time.) But in some cultures women don't masturbate much at all due to repression. When I was a teenager every girl denied doing it too but these are anonymous surveys I'm talking about. They really don't do that and they probably don't have a very strong desire for sex at all.

It seems depressing. Also it's bad for your health not to masturbate because orgasms reduce stress + reduce risk of having a heart attack.

Just remembered some tweets I stumbled on during my twitter binge the other day:

Ladies, this is why you should only sleep with women until Mr. Right comes along. Also, butt stuff does count, so don't listen to your catholic school mates. 🙏🏾

I reject all women who have slept with more than 3 men.

Vile.

Actually that's Andrew Tate tweeting that so it's a great argument for why every woman should immediately sleep with at least 4 men to be safe.

Then all women who have not been with 3 men or more should reject you, based on the same standards.

Way ahead of you.

There's some universe where I'm less bothered about piv sex and I have a threesome with a trans woman and some guy Andrew Tate thinks is beta in front of him while he's forced to watch. I'm not hot/feminine/neurotypical enough to make this hurt as much as I want it to though, so maybe I somehow manage to rope in a very conventionally attractive woman into this too who is a virgin. Then maybe I don't even have to have sex she can. And then I make him suck the trans woman's dick.

In this universe every cis woman has had sex with multiple women and less masculine men, and nobody will have sex with Andrew Tate (unless as described in scenario.) And this wasn't delusionally narcissistic enough so I'm also king/queen for no reason at all.

Andrew said he'd [BEEP] a trans woman who looks like Megan Fox. He brought up choking trans women too when he went into elaborate detail.

Oh good point brain girls will be just fine.

Fuckboys won't be. 😏

This post is like 'the duality of man.' Lol. It starts where it starts and then ends here. Edit: Nope obviously. Also delusionally optimistic about procrastination.

We do a little sadism as a coping strategy.

There's actually a third dimension and that's if I think about Andrew Tate in the abstract I think of like this hyper masculine annoying archetypal figure. He represents a lot symbolically. But then when I watch him on video he seems very unmasculine physically (aside from the muscles,) and in general. I mean it's obvious but it's all facade and a huge joke. In some ways that's disappointing and you almost feel sorry for him. But I don't want to feel sorry for him because I want to destroy him.



He doesn't have a slang term for a trans guy so he just uses 'girl' for this hypothetical 6'5" super masc 'Hulk Hogan' person with a [BEEP] he's talking about who I don't think I've ever come across but presumably the question was trans guy vs trans woman and he went with hypothetical extremes. I think there might be some women that height or at least over six foot, but they're not trans. Never heard of a trans guy who was 6'5" actually, though there could be one somewhere. Being trans and then medically transitioning too is incredibly rare on it's own. A lot are apparently shorter than average according to one doctor. He also noticed trans women tend to be taller than average but very slim. There are probably biological and sociological reasons for that. Edit: I kind of defeated my own point here lol cause I drifted off topic and you do get masculine trans men and obviously trans men who straight men wouldn't want to fuck. Like the guy in this video is trans:



But I guess it's very unlikely that someone afab would have all of those traits he mentioned simultaneously because of the amount of prenatal testosterone exposure + circulating testosterone I think it requires in combination (can't just have one or the other,) and because you're talking about like several incredibly rare traits anyway. They wouldn't be a cis woman and then a lot of trans men don't fit that type as I mentioned - a significant portion are actually the opposite - they're shorter than average compared to women. So that person might exist somewhere but there are way more trans women who look like Megan Fox than trans men who are Hulk Hogan and that guy's probably stealth anyway. But 99.9% of the time that kind of person is going to be a cis guy and incredibly rare for a cis guy.

Like what is this hypothetical where Haf??r J?l?us Bj?rnsson is a girl lol? This forum is going to mess with the formatting of his name so I mean the actor that plays The Mountain on Game of Thrones.

1/10 means ugly, it doesn't imply masculine.

no one thinks masculinity is hot estrogen and femininity is what?s the most attractive that's why the race with the most testosterone has the least attractive women and the race with the most estrogen has the least attractive men in society's eyes

So you're saying the Human race are lesbians? I agree. (Oh I just read the second part about men. I just blocked it out LOL because it wasn't entertaining + is kind of incorrect lol. In terms of reproduction and in terms of kpop fangirls. If you read it literally they also contradict themselves in the second half.)

I still like how everyone from my home town is insane.

Today in YouTube ads:

"Ukrainian women. Get a chance to be happy today. Thousands of Ladies are Waiting For You."

Seems like the appropriate level of bleak dystopia. I got this advert while listening to this song LOL:



It's also asking me if I feel the last video ad was relevant to me because I keep skipping them lol. It wouldn't matter if they were unless it's a film trailer or music video it's not really going to interest me.

'Ukrainian women for sale.'

Yeah but (putting aside the seven + issues with that advert,) the Ukrainian women aren't in a music video. Or look like someone who is. I mean I didn't click the link so I wouldn't know lol.



This isn't even a music video and I'm only attracted to her voice. Oh well lol. It's also a remix the original is very good, but I like this too. Actually I think most of this remix is worse and very generic sounding imo, but I like the beginning.

You know this YouTube. It's why you keep suggesting me videos of people with glasses and such.

Edit: I was suggested this video recently and I lol'd because he's wearing glasses. I don't know if they're his because I think she also wears them sometimes:



"So you're not attracted to F1nn5ter but what about with glasses?"

Well played. But also, still no-ish. This isn't a thing lol it's just some personal meme/conspiracy I've invented to entertain myself. Also I'm unironically watching their content now and part of me doesn't like that at all lol. I also dislike how a lot of adults online are a decade younger than me now (not sure how old Icky is, but F1nn is 23,) and I have the brain of like a 14-24 year old. At least Contrapoints is older than me. Lol that's it Contrapoints and Andrew Tate and then a sea of 60+ year old men and 21-24 year olds. Actually Shoe is my age - 32 (everyone thinks she's in her early 20s too,) and I think MoistCr1TiKaL is almost 30. And some other people. The political YouTubers and streamers are often 29 or 34 (it's really weird how so many people can be the exact same age like a cluster of people,) but that genre is obnoxious too.

Also I feel like a lot of people would consider this a huge plot twist because of his content + internet persona "obviously he's a closeted trans woman," but I'd be unsurprised if it turned out he was a trans guy. I don't think he is, but it wouldn't shock me. Trans people online will often try to signal that they're the opposite sex trans person to [BEEP] with cis people and also give advice to do that sometimes where possible as a form of extreme stealth. This is controversial though obviously. (Because it gets trans women killed because some cis men are retarded and violent.) F1nn actually includes a lot of subtle (or not so subtle depending on who you are,) indicators that he's secretly a trans guy or wants to be seen as a trans guy and also secretly a trans woman to make his sex ambiguous. (Though tbf I don't think he edited this video since this is his girlfriend's channel but I noticed some things in another video clip I watched too.) It's quite clever although it's annoying a lot of people mostly trans women from what I noticed on twitter (I mean a lot like him as well I think, but they don't like how he makes his sex ambiguous.) Guess it's kind of ironic his girlfriend is trans.. Lol...

And the poor transvestigators lol they now think most of Hollywood is trans because of this sort of thing. (Lol it's like an arms race.)

I mean this is a never ending piece of discourse on some parts of the internet:



I was superficially aware of it for some time now, but I've only in the last month actually bothered to watch any of his content. And honestly mostly just because of his girlfriend. They have an interesting dynamic and she's cute (I'm not attracted to her really but sometimes I just like watching cute people, superficial.) He mostly streams on twitch which I don't use.

I do think it's funny because I've seen him blur both lines. But I think most people don't notice because trans masc people are invisible. Like in the video here in addition to taking the 'am I a trans guy quiz' there's a point where he says 'I bled so much today.' And his girlfriend says 'out of context that sounds weird.' He's not injured so why would someone be bleeding? Then you're supposed to use your imagination.

I'm afab non-binary and Finn has actually helped me feel a bit more comfortable with my pre-medical transition self. I?m not a girl but I look like one. Finn isn't a girl but he looks like one and has fun with it. Idk it's just made me feel a little more comfy in my body as it is rn.

same. i feel like i present pretty masculine but that's not how i feel. i think it opens up a conversation on separation of gender identity and gender expression but we're barely even allowed use gender in a sentence online without dogpiling so 🤷

That gets ignored as well lol.

I have sympathy for him because it's really fun to [BEEP] with 'masculine' guys this way and you can see him respond to Andrew Tate on twitter, and if I had more self confidence and I was on testosterone so I had a lower voice, I'd probably be tempted to do something like that.

Pointing out it's a skill issue to Vaush is unfair though when Vaush says he's most likely on hrt because of how female he looks. Because a lot of people won't be able to get those results if they're amab there's a reason I relate to him (somewhat his stated ideal appearance is more feminine than mine lol,) and I'm afab. his features are incredibly neotenous and that's his bone structure mostly.

I know this is a coincidence but why is:

she looks like a 70's rockstar

She actually looks like an 80s rock star now. Pretty soon she will reach the 90s. I'm hoping she doesn't reach the 2000s. I was over the emo/sims 2 custom content hairstyles after I left the 2000s. This isn't a criticism btw (I guess it's a criticism of emo hair, not really lol just not peak aesthetic for me right now,) obviously everyone should look like this. OK not everyone just everyone I pay attention to in 2023.

It genuinely bothers me that these images are all different sizes but I'm too lazy to fix that. Also I mean it's a coincidence that her hair + glasses + style is loosely matching Geddy Lee throughout the years not that her aesthetic is matching the 70s and 80s. (But combined with like tattoos and hip hop/pop-punk aesthetics.) Since everyone is because of hauntology/nostalgia porn etc.

There's just no way Contrapoints didn't take her aesthetic (well set decoration,) from their old music videos or they had some mutual inspiration:



I mean technically it's all just tumblr aesthetics + photography but yeah.

Edit: Youtube: What if we use Mads Mikkelsen to sell you Carlsberg. No see because I know I'm like a walking Tumblr stereotype (I was actually dying my hair before that became a stereotype lol but I never had any of the very short haircuts so like 50% the stereotype,) but I'm not attracted to him and only got through a few episodes of the Hannibal TV show, and I don't and have never drunk beer. (I mean not by choice. I don't buy beer there we go.) Mostly used to drink cider. My favourite Mads Mikkelsen role was the fan made music video of multiple Solstafir songs. I bet this is age restricted or something I can feel it in my bones:



I was right. [BEEP] you lol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZhf98IydQ0

I don't know what it's from originally.

Someone tweeted something funny in response to this earlier (well it was someone else tweeting the same 4chan post since several accounts have uploaded this for some reason,) where they were talking about how they played The Sims 2 when they were 11 and wanted to play The Sims 3 because they saw their female cousin playing it, and their cousin looked down on them and talked to them like they were a baby or something and then they became a 'stone cold incel' but they've since deleted that or that tweet has gone lol. I found this tweet was never a thing lol:



I love the 'also decorating and stuff.' :')

There's so many misleading comments like someone said 'If they removed the ability to burn and drown babies women would stop playing' and someone actually believed that was possible in a t-rated game series lol (a game series that used to have a pretty dark sense of humour that has been gradually muted over time.) It's giving this lol:

Although there is no sex in the game, characters appear nude when carrying out activities such as taking a shower. Their breasts and genitals are blurred out to avoid offence - but Thompson claimed hackers could get around this by using a cheat code.

The hackers with their cheat codes :') much hacking. Hacking is when cheat codes in video game. Fucking hilarious.

I can't remember now, but there might have been a cheat code at one point that they disabled when they realised. Either that or it always required modding. They left a huge amount of their debugging tools and unused/unfinished content in the game files, far more than in later games (unfortunately because it's fun to look through and mess with.) But they also look like barbie dolls if you remove the blur unless you download modded skin + genitals. So unless you think it's weird for your kids to play with dolls it should be no big deal (but if you believe this then you should also know Barbie does turn girls into lesbians so you should be careful.)

Old school video games are very interesting though:



Well mostly The Sims 2 and early Spyro games. I'm not paying attention to a lot of stuff. I mean it's interesting because there's a lot of beta versions that people are still digging up and other things to discover. With newer games they keep those things hidden a lot more and a lot of development teams are much bigger. You have to literally hack (not cheat code hack,) into their server to get access to beta/alpha stuff lol. and also to use The Sims as an example again the way they do certain things now in development are just less quirky/weird solution to x problem. Oh it's so boring, just leak the beta/alpha stuff man. No one wants your finished product. No but. Sort of lol.

There's some Russian language forum where they dig up various stuff about The Sims 2 and discuss potential beta versions of the game. The guy who started the thread there claims he once played a beta version of The Sims 2 that went missing. This might be bullshit because there are a lot of myths like this floating around for various games. But I'm sure some journalists had access to at least the Nightlife expansion beta, because I've seen some potential evidence of that myself reading old articles where there were community lots that didn't exist in the final release (and there's text references to a few lots in the game files,) but no beta version of the game has ever been leaked. ._.

This is what happens when you grow up playing demo discs from magazines as a kid lol. I was fascinated at the time by the difference between the demo version of Spyro and the final release. 'Why are the whirlwinds all green? 'Why are there gems floating in the return home thing?'

There are some fucked up mods around though (for the Sims 2 and other games.) So you can definitely do things equivalent to burning/drowning babies. There's actually a modded BBQ called omgwtfbbq, that allows you to cook and eat babies. I believe that mod was uploaded after the acronym people used to use seven internet centuries ago, but yeah. It was banned from most modding sites I think at the time.

Actually I made one technically but really just for something I was doing in a video. Someone asked me to upload it LOL (so they actually wanted that for their regular gameplay lol....) But I'm not good at modding and I hate reading/watching tutorials etc because of my attention span. So the process of making it led to some pretty broken things happening and I have absolutely no idea why since the broken things were entirely unrelated to what I was doing with the mod... It was actually pretty funny in itself. It did work in the end for my purposes and the broken thing stopped, but I didn't want to test it during regular gameplay or put in the extra effort in to make it ready to upload (because I don't care if I break my game, that's potentially part of the fun anyway, and have different standards for myself,) and there were a couple of other things I would need to figure out first as well.

Also not the 'female gamers' lol. Actually no one (OK most people,) plays The Sims for that reason that's more of a thing you do when you get bored (like when you run everyone over and then crash your motorbike into a wall so you fly off into the sea in GTA, or locking the butler in the freezer in Tomb Raider that butler made me feel bad he was so old and he sounded like he was really struggling. He should have been retired. And that's how I became a communist social justice warrior/part time serial killer lol no.) or to entertain other people. I also never really liked the building aspect as much as the gameplay but several people responding disagree and I think if you've only played The Sims 4 that would make sense because the gameplay is a lot worse in that game.

Procrastinating again.

I hope Westjet goes out of business

I found this old thread about kpop fans and it's from pre-covid so the bolded is really ironic now lol:

Everywhere you go online these days you see girls being obsessed over bts and similar kpop boys. I seem to especially see a lot on twitter. These girls fetishise Asian boys the same way that anime fans fetishise Asian girls, yet nobody seems to be talking about it.

These girls going round talking all "uwu my oppa jinkookie so cute" is so cringe and embarrassing. I also see them all photoshopping their Instagram photos to give them more of the Asian beauty trends of the pointy chin and big eyes. They also all wear those face masks that Asian people wear to face pollution in big Asian cities, which isn?t needed in the middle of America. If you believe cultural appropriation is a thing, this would be it.

Kpop fangirls are just as bad as weeb anime boys, they do the exact same things but it?s Korea instead of japan, and it?s towards boys instead of girls. Maybe it?s even creepier as these boys are real people, whereas anime is just cartoons.

Why does everyone seem to be unbothered by kpop fangirls acting this way.

I don't think that's the main reason people do that. I think it's to be courteous to others when you're ill which is actually a pretty good idea. But America has turned it into a huge political thing now. As they do with everything under the sun, and to a lesser extent other Anglosphere countries do that too but the UK weren't so politically divided about covid.

You can be a K-Pop fan without being a weeb about it.

I've been a fan of BTS for a while now and I've seen a bunch of REALLY SCREWED UP crap like "hmmm what if jiminie-oppa and jungshookie were in a sexual relationship" and it's been really hard to avoid.

There's also a bunch of people who went up to Suga in public and started slapping him in the face or whatever and not considering how he would actually feel about it.

Suga also said in an interview once that he has seen a lot of the fanfic, thirsty tweets, etc. and that they all need to stop.

You can like a K-Pop idol without making a bunch of gay crap about it, but people don't seem to know that.

My sister is somewhere halfway. She draws a lot of fanart but she doesn't physically attack them or put them in fictional relationships with each other.

tl;dr: I'm a K-Pop fan, but I'm, not torturing people by putting them in fictional relationships and doing cringy stuff like putting "oppa" and "saranghae" into every sentence. That's just retarded, however liking K-Pop is fine up to that point.

If they're teenagers then I'd cut them some slack (and a lot of the comments are about teenagers.) I used to do read and write slash fanfiction about Green Day for a bit as a teenager until I decided it was unethical and then just focussed on fictional characters (in fairness the band members would also kiss each other on stage and the lead singer would masturbate on stage to this one song which I saw in person when I was 14 so I think we're even.) Also I read gay fanfiction with musicians a few times later in my early 20s because it's hard to not do that sometimes. What I started doing is like imagining fictional characters that look like certain musicians or I'd read other fanfiction while looking at images of the musicians I find attractive so I'd compartmentalise things in my mind. I still get obsessive about certain musicians though obviously, just try to suppress the urge to read that. Also when it comes to writing I have minimal motivation in general and don't really feed the need to upload whatever unfinished thing I'm working on once in a blue moon, so that helps.

Also though is that slapping thing a thing? I thought that was just something the writers of Bob's Burgers came up with for Louise:



I love this clip:



"That pain doesn't go away it only gets worse. Don't get older."

Also your contempt doesn't do anything really and people know it's unacceptable/inappropriate. It's not a knowledge based thing for the most part. Most people will limit themselves irl but the internet is where weird people go to be themselves and that's always going to be part of it.

Yeah a lot of the fandom is really chill, but there is that vocal minority who is extra cringy. It's just that kpop fandoms are huge now and suddenly those minorities start getting bigger and bigger with the rest of the fandom.

And just a side note I have seen two Koreaboos in action. In arts class couple girls blasted kpop all the time while doing their work, it was extremely distracting and when others asked them to turn it down they would just ignore them, until a teacher had to intervene and shut it down. They were also known at that school for dancing to kpop in the middle of the hall. It wasn't unusual to hear them talking about their "oppas" and how they want this that that person to be their "unnie" (they were maybe 13-15 year olds btw)

Time to blast some good ol' metal

It's cute that you think metal musicians are completely safe from fangirls or gay shipping.

Nobody's safe. =|

OK well if you're not reasonably slim you're probably safe (oh wait no not even then I forgot people ship Thor and Loki lol, but they're fictional anyway,) but there are a lot of guys in classic rock bands that get shipped with other guys. I've also seen it with Mikael Akerfeldt (metal musician,) and Steven Wilson.

And now you also see more people talk about wanting to have sex with them in ways they probably wouldn't like. I think this is probably healthier than shipping them with other guys they know actually, most of the time. It depends on why you're doing that. But it's less dissociative and a bunch of the people doing this are trans.

You were cringe before it was cool

I was. I really was. Still not cool btw.

literally everyone agrees with you

Yep, this is not an unpopular opinion.

There's also that lol it was posted in r/unpopularopinions.

"They?re the same picture"

It's a bit more gay but yeah.

I actually wont judge people for almost any weird [BEEP] they do (unless it involves actually real life stalking people that's a no no.) But even if they want to be Asian or whatever I'm too weird to be judging other people.

Dude at least weeabos don't have these massive horde of fake accounts to attack/spam certain accounts/comment sections.

Majority of weaboos are socially anxious people that would just rather stay at home watch animes and actives in certain internet forum. They are pretty chill unless you mock their favorite animes/characters. Which is pretty normal considering any normal people would get mad too if someone mocks their favorite things.

Kpop fangirls on the other hand... they are like a cult. They overpraised their idols, love to start fandom war, over criticized anything literally anything, they are also literally #1 in gossiping and stalking.

Kpop stars are like every other popstar in this world, except they get treated like a god or perfect human being by their fans. Kpop stars are also prohibited to do "dating" and if they do, they would absolutely get trashed with these "scandal" by South Korean media and their fans as well. Like wtf was that, they are normal human being too, they also have this sexual urge, don't act like it's not normal just because they are famous idols.

Some people said these Kpop stars aren't allowed to date someone is because their fans are deluded lunatic that thinking they have "a chance" to marry their idols. WAKE UP, these are real people not characters.

Kinda same with weaboos but at least, weaboos already know that they literally have ZERO chance to marry their favourite characters, so they just buy body pillow instead LOL.

I don't think so really at least with Western fans I think the whole industry is absolutely insane but that's another topic. The distinction is that it's 1. simply the new thing to hate on 2. mostly teenage girls are into kpop who we know are always the route of all evil and we must hate everything they like. And perhaps kpop fans are a little bit more self confident than the prior generation of weirdos. 'Weeaboos' and people obsessed with Japan are obviously older (or at least the 'subculture' is older,) than people into Kpop and South Korea.

I get it though afab sexuality is scary and boundless (according to some people,) so it must be controlled etc. Otherwise you might get someone who marries a copy machine (copy machine what is that lol. I don't know what it was I can't remember. Let's say photocopier or fax machine. I think fax machines are like the.. No you know I just can't say that word in a sexual context. I can't. Older guy of the machine world.) After they go on testosterone etc. Or whatever twitter wants to complain about at any point in time. (Someone was talking about a trans guy who was into some kind of machine recently.) Generally obviously neurodivergent people:



I've spoken about this before. I've never been sexually or romantically attracted to an object but I've gone through phases of thinking electricity pylons are really cool aesthetically and also circuit boards. I had an entire graphic design project I did for school that was focussed on circuit boards. Some guy who had a lot of autistic traits on a forum was really excited because he thought I was interested in electricity pylons in the same way he was eg: how they're made and such and he'd obviously never met anyone who was, also started asking me questions about air conditioners I think. So he sent me a video of that but I wasn't interested. My interest was more symbolic/aesthetic.

Also as a general rule I don't think most kpop fans are that insane. I know that hilarious/insane woman who went on a rant at Lady Gaga for winning an award exists. I'm not supposed to find that funny but I do. Those people treat their fandom like sports teams and it's the same mentality but that's a slightly different issue:



From what I've seen/heard I do think that Lady Gaga's music (and writing, and costumes, and artistic style etc,) is better than BTS' personally if it was a competition (but I don't think it should be one really):







I'd say it to her face too lol.

I don't even think BTS are the best kpop band (again just based on what I've heard.) I also prefer 2NE1 lol:







And that time B.A.P were briefly Metallica in the beginning of this track:





It's more energetic, symphonic and heavier and I prefer kpop that sounds like hip hop to the brief amount I've listened to recently (even though I think too much music sounds like hip hop in general now,) but it was never exactly my favourite genre (and it's not even a genre but yeah.)

Kpop amiright?



Airplane instruction videos from the 80s we all like the same thing.



But yeah I don't think most are on that level even if they're weird by normie standards.

Koreaboos are far worse because anime fan-boys just wack off to fictonal characters while koreaboos write letters to their husbandos in their own period blood and sneak into their homes to drink their piss.

Nah they call them waifu etc and do things like 'get married' to them occasionally. The fact that they aren't real keeps the parasocial relationship in check somewhat though.

Unfortunately this group are mostly going to end up obsessed with musicians if they can't be satisfied with androgynous 2D anime characters (and why would most people?) Because it's the main source of 'androgynous' or 'queercoded' men. There are fictional characters who are somewhat androgynous or queercoded in the West, but they're few and far between and ultimately that's what they're looking for. Where as it's not difficult to find attractive female characters even now with the complaining about muscular and masculine women in Western video games lol.

[Doseone]

It's weird to think that I'm probably the only person in the world listening to a specific song at this specific time. And I'm probably the only person having this thought. Meanwhile millions are listening to Taylor Swift. lol.

This is the song I'm talking about:

[Nyctophilia]

ok, so you possess the symbolic phallus

What does that even mean I'm so confused

I'm too old to be confused. About Shania Twain I mean, not psychoanalysis. That's surrealism for psychology. Also I've randomly listened to this song again a few times this year for the first time in probably years.

You do know this song is just a long commercial for central heating right?

Lol.

According to Sigmund Freud's theory of psychoanalysis, while males possess a penis, no one can possess the symbolic phallus.

Challenge accepted.

Jacques Lacan's Ecrits includes an essay titled The Signification of the Phallus which articulates the difference between "being" and "having" the phallus. Men are positioned as men insofar as they are seen to have the phallus. Women, not having the phallus, are seen to "be" the phallus. The symbolic phallus is the concept of being the ultimate man, and having this is compared to having the divine gift of God.[1]

That sounds pretty gay.

Was Lacan gay?

No I'm thinking of Foucault never mind.

I'll probably never read any of these people's works.

I wonder if Lacan being gay has not had an impact on his new departure from Freud - does it have a litterature?

No I was mistaken. I think I mixed him up with someone. Sorry. The question remains: he dilutes mommy-love into narcissism and hatred of dad becomes just normal rebelling. And why would it not be possible for infant gays to like dad and distanciate from mom?

Yes exactly. He has such 'I've never read his work but I think he was homosexual' energy.

Thus from an Anglo-American perspective, Lacan makes psychoanalysis look rather queer.

OK.



No I'd like to be more bisexual actually. This hasn't been a very bisexual month for me. Wait. The 8th of October was pretty bisexual.

The t-shirt just spoke to me.

I think she's exclusively attracted to people who definitely don't look like me. Many such cases.

It's not because it's more interesting it's because it requires a level of self comfort and zen state that I'm not in most of the time + I miss having more of a sex drive...

You psychoanalysts (and Foucault,) and your sexuality that isn't fluid.

I'm going to invent a sexual theory based on the t-shirt about getting your clit pierced at Claire's accessories that she was wearing. I don't know if she really has a clit, but that doesn't really matter. It's symbolic.

I will call this theory: 'psychoanalytic theory 2.0 - why is no one talking about the clit?'

In psychology, womb envy denotes the envy that men may feel of the biological functions of the female (pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding). The neo-Freudian psychiatrist Karen Horney (1885?1952) proposed this as an innate male psychological trait.

I don't find this very sexy even though I have an impregnation kink. But if I imagine getting a guy pregnant he doesn't have to have a womb, doesn't have to get pregnant either. I mean he could if he's really committed to the fantasy, but it's optional. I'm not in a position to have kids so it's best if guys don't get pregnant for now. Or women, but I'm only thinking about guys asking to be impregnated lately but it's been hard to find audio files with that after I stumbled on some. A few years ago it was women in fiction. I'll discuss all this in my book:

"Summary: Much like the emancipation of women was once seen as a threat to feminize society by undermining the paternal figure. The transformation of homosexuality presents new challenges to psychoanalysis. He essentially said that such women represent a maternal Christianity since, like the Virgin Mary, they made the error of bringing forth a child without having heterosexual intercourse. What if guys could shapeshift into women with female genitals who wear short skirts without underwear for my entertainment. But I still like dicks as well in theory. Perhaps I don't like anything in real life."

That's the title.

The 3 hours of sleep I got following the 5 hours of sleep for multiple days is really showing. I want to perpetuate this state of mind + a more extreme form that's like being on drugs and then have that state of mind for when I have to go out after I eventually sleep.

I'm not sure there was a point to this besides shitposting anyway.

People in the replies:
Natalie is obviously too much of a coward to admit that she is in love with me and give me extra special cuddles and buy me pretty jewelry. Like this tweet so she understands that the only way to be taken seriously by the public is to give into my demands

This doesn't pass the vibe check, but I also didn't respond to her tweet tbf. Oh I forget she did like one of my tweets once lol.

I'm married to this music video at the moment because I really like motels in the middle of the night and the general surreal vibes:



No not the musicians. Or the naked statues. Maybe the song a bit. Mostly the liminal music video as I said.

I'm cheating on surreal dream world in the motel at night with late night water slide though:



Well maybe not. But I still like the photo. If it was an outdoor pool maybe.

When I was a kid this outdoor pool with a waterslide was open late at night but I completely forgot about that until the last minute and so I basically had time to go down the slide once. I guess maybe that's haunting me a bit. I really want to teleport back. Was a great pool too btw.

This song by The Cure reminds me of driving with my family through France at night:



Cause I was listening to their greatest hits CD a lot on my portable CD player.

I also stumbled on this song again recently lol:



Obviously that became a huge internet meme thing but it just reminds me of France again lol. When you're English and the Moldovan song reminds you of France. No because it was the summer and I was in France lol.

Also the 80s song by Austrian band:



^ some of my best memories involve this song lol.... Also this song which is finally actually by a French group:



But yeah lots of music reminds me of France.

I also like this artwork I found again while looking through my liked stuff to find the waterslide. Even though it turns out I neither liked nor reblogged that image why? No wait I did. So then why wasn't it in my list of liked tumblr posts. Where is it!? That's going to be the sequel to the psychoanalytic book I mentioned. 'So then why wasn't it in my list of liked tumblr posts. Where is it!?'



I'm pretending his hood is hair.

You know when it takes people 8 minutes to start their song because they want to bleach their hair and binge on cheerios?



Imagine it was just like shitposting. This is actually a trick to improve attention spans secretly. No lol.

And then you get stuck upside down in your trans am/bat mobile. Hate it when that happens.



I like how this is Green Day. Not even like some of Green Day it's just Green Day.

[Nyctophilia]

I also stumbled on this song again recently lol:



Obviously that became a huge internet meme thing but it just reminds me of France again lol. When you're English and the Moldovan song reminds you of France. No because it was the summer and I was in France lol.

I also love that the beginning of the song sounds like a 90s Playstation game maybe Tekken or something. There are other stuff that sound more like it but everything sounded like that at one point.









I guess a lot of playstation sounds were inspired by jungle and techno.

This kind of sound is suddenly so nostalgic lol:





I'm watching this now lol:



This doesn't really fit in but at this point I'm just thinking about all my favourite video game music I really love this track:
