Just a reminder: The Guardian entered a strategic partnership with OpenAI a little while back, so any time you see an article like this from them, you can immediately dismiss it as not credible journalism but just Sam Altman getting his money’s worth.

This is the nature of all moral panics. Against music, video games, dungeons and dragons, porn, anything. An individual, cultural practice or art form is decided to be sinful, and any evidence found to support it has no need to withstand scrutiny because the conclusion preceded the evidence.

the Christian model of sin as a metaphysical stain leads to an interesting thing where the stain arises without the presence of anything to cause it. we've disproved the presence of grape juice but the purple spot on the tablecloth remains

happy birthmasday to @catgirlthyme.indieanthro.com and also congrats on the new album release too

im gonna be so real the next update that this shit happens in I'm leaving the site. bluesky admin you are fundamentally incapable of making decisions consistent with the wants and needs of the people who use your site and you are a spineless lot who cannot for any second take criticism. cancer.

Lolcowing is an apparatus that turns a person into a renewable source of entertainment. It refers to an ongoing *relationship* rather than an individual, I think. The relationship is extractive and one-directional; the "cow" doesn't consent, doesn't benefit, and isn't a participant in the exchange.

the Democrats are a non stop display of condescending ineptitude and i'm not feeling particularly convinced that even the Mamdanis really have what it takes to meet the moment right now. it'll be interesting to see what happens after Trump is gone - we're due for some kind of major shift then

the fact that they keep hallucinating the existence of an age play fetish present in any of this discourse really, really tells you exactly what they actually think of queer people. incredible freudian slip honestly.

"Being" is just consistent "doing" over time. Any sense of identity is merely a rhythm of habit and actions. Do not see it as "faking it til you make it". Just find the groove.

A sale on the best value in gaming, hell yeag

yikes :(

Implying you weren't put here on earth to get gored by a Hippo at some point

as for the conservative connection to gooner stuff, that's easy. we attach shame to porn and lust; shamed people don't talk about their interests in polite company; shame magnifies fixation and demands release; they resort to impolite company for that release; said company tends to be nazis. oops!

prediction: woke 2 will correctly identify that people in power are terminally online. however, it will do little more than conflate "terminally online" with "weird bad", with the result being that the reaction targets the usual marginalized people rather than those with systemic power

under no circumstances do you "have to" give it to the pope. in fact, it should be your life mission Not to give anything positive to the pope.

like yeah man no wonder a bunch of folks have gotten really into edging, all the third spaces are gone and no one has money or time for the ones that are left, and also the world is perpetually on fire! losing yourself to a hedonistic bliss of unending pleasure is hardly an irrational response IMO

alright im ignoring this place for the next 48 cause i know how u vindictive motherfuckers roll. remember to take breaks n drink water and do things you like instead of goin on social media and retweeting/commenting on everything you can cause that's how you kill your brain

Motherfuckers will hem and haw over the destruction of truth in the age of the internet and then willingly, enthusiastically, spew unconfirmed and unprovable falsehoods if it means getting rid of the person they don't like.

they're talking about me accidentally entering a vc with patricia in it when i was 15, in which basically nothing happened and i left immediately. i have no idea how it got twisted to imply that she was actively masturbating and i would very much like it if i wasnt a victim of an imaginary grooming

bluesky has many problems, like the people who run it hating their userbase (especially trans people) but no one should listening to bluecheck pundits whining about how they can't be on the monocultural big tent online platform anymore. no one should be listening to most bluecheck pundits in general

here we go again

so many books could be written about the totally sudden shift from being seen as a budding genius to being seen as not even very competent a lot of trans women experience after transitioning. one of the strangest ways to get direct insight into society's completely perverse treatment of gender

The idea that fiction "normalizes" behavior makes intuitive sense until I think about how I have fun watching people get murdered in video games for hours a day but if I saw a dead body in real life I'd throw up and cry.

my one regret with this thread is that i didn't specify that no one is obligated to disavow any fetish content, and the absence of their disavowal does not imply tacit support. i think that you should simply mind your own fucking business and interrogate these cruel parasocial fixations of yours.

hypothesis: every 10 years there's a new 4lung drama, except it gets less justified each time. right now we have this whole thing. in 20 years a once-in-a-decade flame war will be caused by 16 y/os getting mad that a video essayist has an eeveelution doujinshi in their pixiv favorites or something

was pretty depressing to watch a bunch of people rush in to defend hbomberguy against a trans woman with a fraction of his platform because she said some mildly negative stuff about him. doesn't really have to do with my opinions on what kind of pornography are ok or not

but she wanted to fuck the cartoon dog shouldn't she be cyberstalked and banned from every platform in existence??? im starting to think you don't have principles

I actually made this yesterday

heres the thing even if you are skeeved out by a queer person you should know better than to think you expressing that feeling publicly is worth anything in the fucking world compared to what harm it does

theres people going around ruining their days by blocking everyone even remotely cognizant of the fact that treating someone like a lolcow is bad, and it's the funniest shit ever because they're pressed about lines on paper

There are powerful, well-connected, well-funded people in this country, today, who are deliberately, strategically, using the idea of a woman being made "uncomfortable" by the presence of a trans person to plot the removal of that woman's right to abortion, contraception, and divorce.

ohhh if you don't morally condemn scat fetishism despite being deeply repulsed by the concept you're just a shit eater who likes putting your tongue on a greasy anus as it spurts diarrhea down your throat and you deserve to be told this over and over again

my goal is to say what i believe to be true in spite of overwhelming public pressure to tacitly endorse a reductive and puritanical worldview while actual real-life pedophiles are engaged in a white supremacist campaign of eugenics, genocide, and racial/gendered elimination.

I’m still thinking about this thread and how there’s a sort of parasocial thing here. We usually talk about parasociality as imagined friendship, but I think the idea that it’s our job to police and correct the people we follow online is also a form of being parasocial.
