I am stealing this brief description of r/AntiSex from this drama post a few years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1axl71h/the_systematic_persecution_of_antisexuals_an/

r/antisex is a very bizarre, small, isolated, but rather active subreddit that is against sex in all/nearly all its forms. Most of its users are asexual so it's best to conceive it as a sort of asexual supremacist subreddit, although there are a few (presumably unwell) “sexuals” in there too. I highly encourage you to check it out for yourself, it’s quite the rabbit hole.

Here is also a link to the subreddit's FAQ: https://www.reddit.com/r/antisex/comments/tanu5c/faq_for_newcomers/

The subreddit's sidebar description is as follows:

A subreddit for the discussion of antisexuality/antisexualism.

Antisexuality is the broad class of ideas that oppose sex and sexuality. Notable related examples include sex-negative feminism, the anti-porn and anti-prostitution movements, voluntary celibacy, and some sex-repulsed asexuals. This is not an incel space.

This sub is intended as a space for developing anti-sexual philosophy, and a safe space for those that are sex-repulsed.

Now for the drama. I've bolded some of the particularly juicy bits that might make for a good flair:

Why would heterosexual women have sex?

All sex is nasty, but sex between a cis man and a cis woman is the ultimate act of power imbalance. Women have everything to lose and very little to gain. The mere act symbolizes humiliation and even masochism. A woman gets stabbed repeatedly in her orifice by a dirty, grotesque appendage. The orgasm gap is a well-documented fact. Add to that the risk of pregnancy and the innumerable types of STDs (so many women have STDs and they don't even know it). Why on earth would a woman have sex?

.

Because they enjoy it? 😭

Honestly I agree with you even though I hate the whole thing and it disgusts me. It shouldn’t be hard to understand that people do specific things because they enjoy it.. so I don’t get the replies here.

I find it incredibly ironic that users in a subreddit dedicated to an extremely uncommon view of sex one that many outsiders would look at and think, "there must be something wrong with these people" are so baffled by the idea that others might genuinely enjoy things they don't.

Apparently we're supposed to dismiss women's own experiences when they say they enjoy sex. It can't possibly be sincere, there must be some conspiracy, social conditioning, or other nefarious explanation at work.

I am not baffled by the idea that MEN enjoy sex. I specifically asked about women. Women don't reach an orgasm with penetrative sex. You, like all men, desperately want to believe that we crave dick and that we live to take dick in our vaginas. That is not true.

I love how you are here arguing about something you clearly have never researched or looked into in any meaningful way.

Heterosexual sex is patriarchal and phallocentric. I'm a woman and I don't like penetration. It's degrading, invasive and overrated.

Thanks for letting me know your opinion on this. You are allowed to not like something most heterosexual women like.

Most don't, they just do it to please the man. If you ask them, you'll notice that a lot of the "pleasure" they get from penetration is psychology. The vagina only has nerve endings in the entrance because that's part of the clit. Actually, penetration should not be the main focus when it comes to women.

Just a reminder for the 15th time in this thread, the majority of women report enjoying penetrative sex.

This is a fact. You are factually wrong.

Before you say:

"Its a conspiracy, my vibes and feelings tell me they are liars!!! They are just saying they enjoy it, but they actually dont! Trust me bro!"

I dont care what your vibes and feelings tell you about what other women think.

They report that because of the psychological aspect, but anatomically, a phallus is not needed for women's pleasure. At all. And the psychological aspect and engagement is because women have been socialised to like penetrative sex. We have been expected to like penetrative sex. And due to patriarchy, we are psyched into believing we like it. But penetration is and will always be for men's enjoyment.

Bro, I’m an asexual man and your arguments against her are literally proving her point. I don’t disagree that women like heterosexual sex but the reason they bring up for it is usually a) the ✨experience✨ and b) the "pleasure" of pleasing the man and being wanted. Be serious dude, if you were told that you gotta eat out your wife all your life and only get your balls simulated in return, yeah, your balls are gonna feel good but would you really be enjoying it and wanting to stay in that relationship if you never reach orgasm? No, realistically most men don’t say shit like sex is for the experience and the orgasm isn’t the end goal but women do because they will be having penetrative sex all their lives and this does show that women are conditioned for penetrative sex. You would never do that because you ain’t conditioned to.

No. Orgasm gap.

I know plenty of straight women who say they have orgasms during sex with men. I’m a lesbian who’s never had one with a partner and likely never will. The orgasm gap is a statistical analysis of data, not a reflection of every woman’s lived experience.

Irrelevant to my point.

That doesn't mean every woman doesn't orgasm.

People still enjoy sex even without an orgasm.

Being unsatisfied with many of your sexual encounters doesnt mean you don't enjoy sex.

Its a literal fact that a majority of women report that they enjoy sex lol.

This must have been written by a man.

Genius level response.

I know its hard to think outside your own worldview, but a majority of people do in fact enjoy sex.

Most women complain that the sex is dirty and nasty. Most men are unattractive anyway and their appendage is nasty.

.

Because what most people dont know is sex has more biological reasons other then to have kids. Sex Removes harmful mutations and slows their buildup In other words sex helps the prevention of cancer

Sex promotes DNA repair and genome maintenance. Sex is one of only a very ways for us to fix our damaged DNA. mind you, damaging your DNA is as easy as being deficient on vitamin b12 or vitamin b6.during sex lost DNA segments are getting reloaded and deletions restored. Its a lot lile data recovery on a computer.

Sex helps to expell overproduced cortisol. Cortisol is the hormone thats the reason why too much stress will eventually be deadly. When we are stressed we produce WAYYYYY too much of it with not a lot of ways to get rid of it again. But during sex we expell a lot of it

Sex helps balance brain chemistry aka helps with mood disorders

In short sex maintains genomes, repairs your DNA, strengthens your immune system, balances brain chemistry,helps preventing cancer , expells cortisol and is also a healthy escape from reality.and all of us humans escape reality one way or the other from time to time, sex is at least a healthy way to do so

All made up.

Why do women have PIV sex?

I genuinely don't understand it. The vagina has to be stretched the first time a woman has sex which usually hurts and is painful, even with foreplay and a lot of lube. Then it has to be regularly trained (stretched) to get used to it. Then women don't even orgasm from PIV intercourse. It sounds painful, dangerous and useless all around. I can't imagine it feels good. Maybe women gaslight themselves that it feels good because even they say that they can't orgasm from PIV. But then I seriously wonder what the point even is?

.

It does not feel good. It feels fucking terrible. Like a nightmare that never ends. It’s so painful

Then why do ladies feel they get empowered by sex and stuff?

because it’s a white liberal feminist framework that is meant to mantain structural power dynamics intact and portray intimate proximity with a historical and current opressor as liberation without questioning anything of material substance

.

These comments are NOT it No, sex should NEVER hurt or be uncomfortable the female body is capable of full body orgasms men are just socialised into being selfish and not giving into our needs in bed. Women aren't "doomed" into bad sex. Like be antisex all you want but don't try to make it that all women are meant to suffer during sex, we're not. It's supposed to feel good, amazing even. We can be anti sex without minimising women's bodies

Okay, then explain why the first time always hurts for women even with the most and best prep. Explain why men ALWAYS get off but for women it takes so much "you need a sex partner that's not selfish", "you need to find the right position" blablabla... If sex was that great for women just like it is for men, we should be able to orgasmn as easily as men and orgasm every single time we have sex just like them but we don't.

Could be many reasons such as fear regarding sex, vaginismus, ect

Give me some scientific resources saying women are doomed to pain during penetration. The pessimism here is insane

Keep gaslighting and deluding yourself. Your cognitive dissonance is insane.

Keep staying miserable I guess, meanwhile I'm here enjoying my dildo 👅

I'm not miserable, I'm asexual. Ew. No one wants to know your masturbation stories. Have some decency. WTF are you even doing here then? Are you aware that this is an antisex sub?

.

I am very sex negative but some of y'all very clearly have vulvodynia or vaginismus, and most women do not

I'm an asexual virgin. I don't know what sex feels like. But from a logical and scientific standpoint my view makes perfect sense.

Plenty of women do orgasm from intercourse alone. Women who are not asexual feel an urge for penetration which overrides any initial pain, which isn't perceived the same way pain would be in other contexts in other parts of the body, due to the arousal. And that's IF there is any pain on first intercourse, which there sometimes isn't, and even if there is, it quickly stops occurring.

In short, one large reason most women have sex is because they feel a compelling urge to do it beforehand, and then subsequently they find the activity feels good.

Most women are pressured and coerced into sex in the first place. Do you have proof that proves that pleasure overrides pain?

I know from personal experience & I know that statistically it's unlikely that I am a freak of nature. I don't think my friends throughout life have been lying, either. However, I cannot prove to someone else what physical sensations exist in my own body. This is an example of a truth that cannot be proven, just like I can't prove to you that I thought about elephants yesterday.

So you're saying you experience pain but it is overridden by your pleasure? There is a study that says 95% of women that are sexually active experience pain during PIV intercourse.

No I experienced minor pain the first couple of times.

There are studies that say literally everything

So you admit that you experienced pain the first time(s).

im 37 now, married for 9 years and have kids. I cannot emphasize enough how inconsequential the existence of mild pain the first 2 times is, for non-asexual women.

Pain is pain, no matter how mild it is. Men NEVER experience pain when they have PIV sex. Women still lose, point proven.

Men experience pain with PIV if it is too dry, too tight, or if they pull out too far and reenter at a bad angle and hit a bone. Like, pain bad enough that they will stop at least briefly if not altogether.

That's bs.

No, ask any grown man, or hetero woman

You're more sex-positive than you claim to be.

Nah, sex positivity is all about consent & eradicating shame. I think sexual shame is an important evolutionary adaptation & I do not believe that consent makes sex moral.

.

Penetration is overrated, degrading and invasive.

I genuinely don't understand women who enjoy it and I'm a woman too. From what I've read, it seems like it's mostly psychological and it's sad women have to psych themselves into it to benefit men.

.

There are women who enjoy penetration. In fact, most women enjoy it. It's how humans are still around today.

There's nothing wrong with not enjoying it, but to say "women have to psych themselves into it to benefit men" is lunacy.

Most women do not enjoy it, that's just false. Biologically there is just not enough nerve endings in there. The center of pleasure of a woman is the clitoris. If you're a man, you're deluding yourself into thinking most enjoy it. If you're a woman and genuinely enjoy it, you're part of the minority.

Most women like sex lol. It's ok if you don't, but understand that's a minority position.

Sex =/= penetration. And if we're talking about female satisfaction, lesbians win there.

This is not a very well-informed reply. The clitoris is a surprisingly large organ going from the visible outside part all the way to the vagina (including the vaginal canal), and has way more nerve endings than the sensitive parts of the penis

The clitoris goes around the entrance of the vagina and that's it. It doesn't cover all the vaginal canal. I think you're not that well-informed if you believe it does (and if you're a man, of course you'll look for ways to think that because it benefits you).

The clitoral area sits so close to the anterior vaginal wall, and is so sensitive, that penetration stimulates it either way, and modern sexuology is trying to do away with them being distinct structures instead of an interconnected erectile complex. Or that's what professors teach at universities anyway, but maybe they're misinformed.

Edit: I am indeed a man. I am also gay and have a strong dislike for misinformation.

The anterior vaginal wall is the zone where the G spot supposedly is, which is not usually stimulated by PIV sex. Specially not with a penis, because to stimulate there you need something that curls (a finger is ideal for that because most penises aren't curved, so in fact, a penis is not what would naturally stimulate it). The spot is also supposedly near the entrance, so no big object is even needed. And even then, not all women have sensitivity in that so called G spot. So it is not even a universal thing.

There is literally no anatomical reason why PIV should be the standard of heterosexual sex (besides reproduction). The only reason it is is because it's central to male pleasure and we have lived in a patriarchal society for millennia (but we don't need that anymore and it's about time to get rid of patriarchal constructs). In fact, men and women's centers of pleasure are different and in an ideal and more equal world, penetration shouldn't be expected in heterosexual sex (at least not always and definitely not as the main thing).

.

Women benefit from it too, like, wtf. Do you think women do not feel pleasure? Biology is not mysoginistic, YOU are by saying this

Women do feel pleasure, from the clitoris, not from the vagina (or at least not from all the vagina because the nerves are only at the entrance, so a phallus is not needed at all for feminine pleasure). Patriarchy has socialised women for engaging in penetration because it's what benefits men the most.

You're accusing a social construct of giving people their biology? That very strange. What you all here are doing is finding excuses for your lack of sex drive. It's ok if you are afraid of sex or don't want to have it. But understand that normal people do like and do wanna have it. Live and let live. Otherwise you're not better than the "bigot patriarchy" you supposedly fight against.

Biology says the vagina cannal is not the primary source of pleasure for women, the clitoris is. A lot of women have reported they feel nothing during penetration too. And I know you will say "B-But that doesn't mean they don't feel pleasure", true but look at the nature of that "pleasure" from what they report: it points out to psychological pleasure and that... that's actually the result of socialisation and patriarchal influences. Why? Because penetration is the main course of men's pleasure. If women were truly made to naturally enjoy penetration (like men), they would enjoy it physiologically too.

If you're fine with women being influenced by patriarchy to like something just to please men, then congrats, you're fine with patriarchy.

Just gonna drop something here. Not all women are made the same and some naturally have more nerve endings than others. I'm not discounting women who don't feel anything, but it's not like that for everyone and for me it's genuinely pleasurable. And my husband is very woman-focused when it comes to pleasure. Again, I'm not discounting anyone's perspective or saying you shouldn't be anti-sexual, just that your experience is not everyone's and women are not a monolith.

You are confusing orgasm with stimulation. I have trouble having orgasms just from penetration, but DO LOVE penetration and consuming that damn dick’

Yikes you serve men.

My man literally sucks my toes, licks my pussy and if I want to then I eat his dick up! And I feel extremely lustful while doing that

Okay, go be a male-centered elsewhere, this sub is not for you.

OK, I got you. I am in the wrong sub. But I cannot let you speak around fake facts.

It's not a fact, it's your subjective experience. But there is not objective and factual evidence about any anatomical structures that produce that experience and the exact physiological mechanism has not been conclusively identified.

You walk around and tell everyone that having sex as a woman is not lustful for when it comes to penetration, but a lot of women will tell you otherwise. The literal bodied feeling can be very very nice since the penis stimulates the vagina at the edge of the open

Edit: also the feeling inside can be hot as hell. I don’t want to forcefully change your opinion I just want to make sure that a woman who does experience the opposite from what you were talking about, has the right to open up so that you don’t make something up that is not common for most women

It's not common, I know about plenty who don't enjoy it. And scientifically, there is no anatomical nor biological mechanism that has been identified to produce the experience of penetration being pleasurable.

You know plenty and don’t enjoy it, seems like the bubble you are in > antisex. Because I know plenty women who like it. It is not scientifically proven, since it is proven that woman own a lot of nerves on the entry of the vagina and the penis can possible touch that with every move.

Perhaps you're in your bubble because I know plenty of women outside this sub and irl who don't enjoy it. Neither a penis nor deep penetration are needed to stimulate the entry of the vagina.

Anal sex is misogynistic.

As a man, I have thought very hard about this because it's always the fascinated me that this is something that interests people. It finally dawned on me that straight couples that engage in anal sex are basically engaging in an act of misogyny. Of course, I mean when a male does this to a female.

It is a common lie that women are able to engage in anal sex as the receiver and get pleasure out of it. This is perpetuated by the misogynistic mindset that women are meant to be submissive. It is forcing her to be vulnerable and submissive just to feed his ego. Therefore, is misogynistic. I can't believe I'm 33 years old and I'm only realizing this now

Likes anal sex...but is an asexual. Interesting.

I'm not attracted to men or women sexually. I have never had sex with a man or woman and never will. So yes I am asexual...

What's that about then? Also, you clearly still experience sexual desire, even have certain sexual preferences. You're not a real asexual. Why label yourself something you're not?

Sexual orientation is which gender(s) you are sexually attracted to. Or in the case of asexuality, it's being attracted to none of the genders. It has nothing to do with libido or preferences on what I do with my own body. If you want to consider me "not a real asexual" go ahead idgaf 😂

You still have not answered my question.

If you experience sexual attraction/sexual desire, you're not different from the rest of the world; You're not an actual asexual. Claiming this label doesn't make you look special.

But they said they literally said don’t experience sexual attraction.

You need to go back and reread my comment.

If you experience sexual attraction/sexual DESIRE, you are not an asexual.

They’ve literally never even had sex before

And? They "literally" still experience sexual desires - even have sexual preferences.

How does someone who has never once had sex, has no desire to, and doesn’t even experience attraction toward anyone, still have sexual desire? I don’t understand how those two things are compatible.

Since you couldn't read the original comment yourself:

I'm a woman and I like anal penetration with a dildo way more than vaginal (which I actually don't like at all).

A dildo is not a human, you cannot have sex with a dildo.

I can't tell if you're doing this on purpose or if you are actually this slow in the head.

Masturbation counts as a form of sexual activity; If you engage in any kind of sexual activity, you are not an asexual. Simple. She said she desires anal penetration over vaginal penetration; That's a sexual preference - That counts as a sexual desire. If you are unable to grasp that in the mush you have up there I don't know what to tell you. But regardless of what you say, she's not a genuine asexual.

**Masturbation is not sexual activity**. If you masturbate alone in your room and then go around saying you just had sex, I would call you a liar.

She doesn’t prefer vaginal or anal sex. She has made it very clear she does not want any sex at all.

What she does prefer is masturbating anally, which is not sex.

So you expect me to believe that it's logical to assume that because biological females only orgasm from penetrative vaginal sex 21 to 30% of the time, that anal penetration is going to have a significantly higher number?

Also, there is no such thing as anal sex done properly. It is an act of misogyny and the objectification of biological females. To believe otherwise shows indoctrination through porn or internalized misogyny

Nothing I said implied that anal penetration would have a higher number. I never made that claim. My point was that vaginal penetration isn't all that great EITHER when it comes to hetero sex.

And yes there is such a thing as PREPARING for anal sex. It involves douching and starting slow and small with tons of lube. Lmao I'm not gonna have a man tell me I have internalized misogyny for enjoying my own body 😂😂😂 It CAN be (and I'd say it usually is) an act of misogyny and objectification of WOMEN especially when it's pornrotted men wanting to do it on their female partner. But it isn't inherently misogynistic.

Do it to yourself is just the same act except that you're not being subjugated, you're self-deprecating. That's all that really means. Now I'm going to assume, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that you would say that if a straight couple besides to engage in this act and they take their time with it. They are consenting adults and I do all the research to make sure that the process is smooth and easy for the both of them. Would you say that that is not an act of massage me because they came to a mutual agreement? Or is it only an act of misogyny depending on who started the conversation? Because the way I see it, even if she was the one that started the conversation out of her own curiosity, it's still internalized misogyny.

So you think I'm self-deprecating only if I do anal, but not if I do vaginal? I'm genuinely asking because you seem to think anal=painful, vaginal=pleasure? You said in your original post that "it's a common lie that women are able to engage in anal sex as the receiver and get pleasure out of it" and I'm telling you, as a woman, that's not true and that was my main issue with your post. The truth is SOME women find anal penetration pleasurable, some don't. AND SOME women find vaginal penetration pleasurable, some don't.

For your hypothetical about a straight couple, I don't know. It could be misogyny based. I think vaginal sex could also be misogyny based. I think it should be 100% up to the receiver to decide since they will be the ones most vulnerable and submissive. I do think it's more of an issue if it's the man asking for it. Why do you think if it's the woman who started the conversation it's internalized misogyny? Also do you think it's internalized misogyny if it involves a lesbian couple instead of a hetero couple?

Oh no, vaginal sex is also misogynistic but the difference is that on a biological instinctual animalistic level, it serves a purpose to reproduce the species. And considering that there is degree of hierarchy when it comes to sexual acts, and which ones are more misogynistic than others, because vaginal sex has a purpose that means that anal sex is more misogynistic because it serves no biological purpose. Now if a woman asks to engage in it, it's misogynistic because it's internalized self worthlessness. Even if a straight couple had been together for any amount of time that you can say a considerable amount of sexual trust and communication has been built, even if she were to trust trust him enough that he would suggested, it's still massage me because even if he doesn't want to do it regularly, I suppose it's a sexual curiosity for him, he still engaging in the act of misogyny. As for a lesbian couple, that's a little bit more difficult to quantify

.

Do you really think that there is never any pleasure for any woman when they receive anal sex?

[deleted]

Anal, much like many things, is an acquired taste when it comes to enjoying it. It's something you have to get used to. Initially yeah it's gonna feel like taking a shit. But, much like alcohol, the smell of certain things such as musk, sweat, or weed, or certain foods like hot food, you have to power through the less fun part before you start enjoying it. How it actually works gets into how the brain works.

That said anal is much more fun for gay or bi men than it is for straight couples(aside from pegging, fellas find you a woman who will peg you) as men have a prostate which women lack. Having your prostate poked will give you one of the best orgasms you've ever had. Would reccomend.

Or, here’s a wild idea: some women genuinely don’t enjoy anal sex. They don’t have to get used to it, and many never will. This applies to many other sexual acts.

“Power through the discomfort” the man says to women.

Did... did you just not read my comment? Like I know you're not the brightest but this is just sad. Also my comment was about how ANYTHING that's an acquired taste requires you to power through the AQUIREMENT part. Like good lord please use your brain babe.

It's just sad that you're trying to make this sexist when it's just not. OBVIOUSLY some people just don't like certain things. Duh, no one with two halves of a braincell is disputing that. God it's painful to even have to write that.

When I say you have to power through it I'm speaking from expiriance lmao. I'm a Bi man who has had his prostate poked. It took a LOT of getting used to for it to start feeling good and stop feeling like I was gonna shit myself. But once I got used to it? Best orgasm ever.

I'll repeat myself, I, a man had something shoved up my butt, made myself work through the uncomfortable phase, and now enjoy it because I acquired the taste for it. Holy shit Celatine this is a braindead take even by your incredibly low standards.

Did you not read the post and comments? We’re talking about women engaging in anal sex.

Your comment comes across as dismissive of the reality that not every sexual act is going to be an acquired taste. But you think that anal is an acquired taste.

Some discomforts are just that—discomforts, and no one should have to “power through” something they don’t enjoy. People don’t owe it to themselves or anyone else to push past discomfort. That’s the response to what you were saying. And we’re talking about women, still.

Your personal experience doesn’t matter. People are different.

You clearly lack basic reading comprehension. No one has to power through anything. No one is forcing anyone into anything. If someone is being forced into doing a sexual act they're not okay with that's called rape and that's a bad thing. Duh.

Anal is an acquired taste. Just like alcohol, hot food, and certain smells. But, once again, OBVIOUSLY, not everyone is willing to acquire that taste, and thats not a problem. Most people don't need to have that spelled out to them but apparently you do. I can't stand the smell of weed, I could go out of my way to change that, but I don't want to, so, like a normal person, I'm not going to.

If you can't see why I'm mentioning my personal expiriance then you need to go back to grade school so you can learn how to read. Good lord. Its genuinely painful that you can't or won't understand the point.

Lmao, buddy, you literally wrote in your first comment, “it’s something you have to get used to.” “You have to power through the less fun part”

When we’re talking about women’s pleasure or discomfort with anal sex, your experience as a man is not going to be the same. Did you even know that women are more likely to experience anal sphincter injury when engaging in anal sex? Because they’re not built the same as a man’s.

And it’s not about forcing anyone—it’s about the underlying suggestion that discomfort should be tolerated until pleasure is eventually found.

Some people just don’t want to “acquire” that taste, and they shouldn’t be made to feel like they’re missing out or doing something wrong for not wanting to.

You now say “that’s okay!!11” but you didn’t in your first comment.

Tried to capture the highlights - sorry for formatting errors, first time posting on the sub - PLEASE go check out this thread and the user it's a rabbit hole. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

OG Post: "End of an Era"(two images)

I was collecting my man's bottles but he recently quit so this is the final stage of the alcohol bottles, now he drinks Pedialyte!

He used to drink 2 pints a day, I'm happy for him, I knew he could do it.

Your post history is crazy 💀 THAT is the real collection

What the actual fuck 🫪 I wonder if he knows he keeps them…. Edit: fixed pronouns. Apologies.

OP: I'm a dude but yeah he does know. I'm pretty sure he found out about the Pedialyte too because originally he threw it away but I retrieved though I'm almost certain he saw it in my bag when he was trying to help me find something.

Wait he threw it away and you took it out of the garbage can? Why? What the fuck

OP: Because I wanted it, also it was recycling and in the hotel we were staying at so it's not like an actual trash can full of stuff

omg happy for him. You should toss out the bottles you’ve collected though, especially if he’s coming to your place. I’m not an alcoholic, but I feel like having the bottles around could remind him of his problem and possibly even tempt him.

op (male) is in a very sexual “relationship” with a man who’s old as dirt, and who also “doesn’t believe gay people exist “. op will defend this til their dying breath. they’re exhausting

OP: He's 32 years old, how is that old? I'm not sure why you phrase it like that either I'm in a relationship with him. It's simple like that idk why you are trying to twist it into something weird

bc aren’t u like 20

OP: He doesn't get tempted like that, last time he saw it he was like wow that's a lot and it's not even half of what he was drinking. I wish I could've collected all of them.

What will you do with them, though? Do they just sit on a shelf or something? You should find a purpose for them so they’re not just like collecting dust somewhere. Make a sculpture. That would be sick

OP: Yeah I was thinking of making something out of them though I'll probably keep one bottle for just memories

You should def find a purpose for ‘em. Turn a negative into a positive

OP: I never saw it as a negative

Whats the significance of collecting these? Genuinely curious

OP: I just miss him a lot and it reminded me of him. Now I just have the one Pedialyte bottle because that's what he drinks now. It's harder to get the Pedialyte bottle because he doesn't finish those around me as much

Where is he?

OP: How am I supposed to answer this question

Usually people live with their SO. So like, is he dead, or in rehab, that kind of thing.

OP: As much as I wish he lived with me, he doesn't. He lives with his brother. Me and him met almost 3 months ago and we've just been together ever since

That many bottles in 3 months and you keep them? lol

OP: He had way more, these are just the ones I was able to get

god not you again i knew immediately from the first pic get HELP PLS

Brandi Love the "Maga MILF"

Well damn. Just like that she stopped being hot in my eyes. So self destructive. Project 2025 specifically wants to ban porn and suggests arresting all those that participate in it in jail. Everything she is as a sexual woman and who she has had sex with is something the Republicans Party hates with a passion. She wants to experience first hand, just go to a rally and tell the people there what she does for a living.

Project 2025 isn’t real and everyone know love is right wing’ed

http://www.heritage.org/conservatism/commentary/project-2025

Straight from the Heritage Foundation. Even you probably know who they are. There does exist a Republican politician running for office that does get money and not have employees trained by that foundation working for them. Just because Fox News ignores it doesn’t mean it does not exist. Every story about it is accurate. It’s 928 document that lays it all out.

It’s real when it in acted, just cause you can fun a document of it doesn’t mean anything, it’s a matter of congress, the president, and the courts to determine this as law. Then this also have to got through states votes if it executives

It isn’t real and it the only talk point the democrats party has cause they still with the idea that help Obama be president not put quality on the ballot

lol. That’s the thing, a whole lot of it is management level stuff. Congress and the President have to simple do nothing to get a lot of it done. Kind of like how Trump put Dejoy in charge to fuck up the post office. Just put a believers in charge and let them do the rest. Which is literally written into the plan.

Also love how for your team it’s make believe but if a Democrat even said out loud they want to do a thing, you would accept as gospel that it would happen. See all of you with your “they are going to take my guns!!!” Every two years for the last 100 years.

Why are you assuming what party im in; im a libertarian

So how is he going to be sex work nation wide if it that simple for you to put in exist.

Plus, why would trump ban porn he like the shit, stormy Danials hello.

Libertarian is a conservative pretending to be neutral.

Libertarian far away from a conservative. Libertarian don’t want state intervention

Your votes speak for you and we both know you go R all the way down the list. Quack like a conservative, believe the same stuff as a conservative and vote like one, you are a conservative. But whatever makes you feel better. I know the meaningless distinction matters to “libertarians”.

Okay, you can say that, but the left has done nothing to get my vote as a libertarian. Even with things I disagree with within the republicans party the democrats have nothing to show from the past four years(especially in California) and have nothing plan for the future

Waste of time to try. Even your love of an incomplete wall proves that. You’re MAGA pretending otherwise. Trying to convince cult members is a waste of time and resources. After all a plan does not count until it does, depending on who says it right? That kind of thinking is trademark MAGA.

Instead of lying to yourself, just go buy that MAGA hat, put on the real men wear diapers, and buy a couple Trump coins like you really want to.

What I was talking about was the failure of trump building the wall and the possibility that project 2025 can be as much of a failure as that. depends??? If it doesn’t happen and have no resources who gives a damn

Okay Redditor, im a libertarian. You just cant live with the fact there people dislike the left and how you are treating me is why some people are vote red. You even thought of that. You even talk about left-libertarian too

Why are there so many libtards here

If you use the term "libtards" unironically, you have literally outed yourself as the dumbest person in the room.

If your day consists of typing out shit like "woke," "lefty," and all the other fox news propaganda terms and aren't some dickhead trying to monetize the bullshit from other dickheads who believe all the bullshit, then you are a knuckledragger.

Have some self respect and try to grift off the other maga fuckwads while you can still fleece the dipshits. Be the wolf not the sheep, LOL.

So you're a Biden lover? 😂 Imagine being alive to witness one of these things actually claim that

LOL, that's where you maga clowns fuck up. No, I am not a Biden Lover. I don't look at politics like sports. I don't have "brand loyalty." I don't have a flag of any politician flying on my house, just the flag of my country.

If Republicans could garner up a candidate that wasn't fucking rapist FELON, who may have made some sense, who had the country's best interest in mind, I could have voted that way, but they would rather tongue the orange ballsack, so fuck 'em.

Keep crying with your CNN headlines, libtard

Keep licking that 🍊 🍄 penis trumptard

Keep getting molested by your uncle-daddy, libtard

You suck on trumps 🍄 🥒

Katrina Jade ceases being MAGA, becomes neutral

Neutrality is moral cowardice

Well... American two party system is pretty shit in this part.

Personally if i was an American. I would want a political party which has some policies from the Rep and some Dem. In total i dislike both of them. The deep end of Dems are just as bad as MAGA. Just from the other end of the line.

Wow, you got downvoted for saying any extremists from either side are bad.

Well, yeah. One side has literal Nazis on it. When you go "Extremists on both sides are bad 🤓" - you're not saying anything of substance, you're not explaining what you mean by that, and you're equating the much worse bad of one side to the other.

Other side has literal islamist protectors... You guys are just blind to that bs...

That's still not as bad as being a Neo Nazi.

It is the same level of shit...

And i did give substance you just didn't read it most likely...

I read your examples. They were vague, substance-less, and the equation was poor.

Vague? Only if you think all the bad things from your own side are good things and justified... Even though they just make them hypocrites... You already said that islamic terrorism and supporting it is better than nazism... That tells me already enough about how you're shitty person.

I do not have the words to express just how little your assessment of my morals matters.

Does anyone have a list of pornstars that aren't maga?

Dude who fucking cares ? I wish more people would keep their political views to themselves. I watch porn for tits not political views.

So you'd jerk off to literal supremacists so long as you don't have to acknowledge it? How does that even work? You'd have to not see the people on the screen as human to remove them that far from their product.

.

I genuinely think people are putting too much weight on political opinions when it comes to topics that don't involve politics 1. The fact that a person has a different opinion than you, doesn't mean they are bad people 2. No matter how correct you think you are, you shouldn't cancel people that don't agree with you

We are well beyond politics at this point. If you support racism and pedophilia, you are a bad person. Zero exceptions, zero excuses. Real people are being hurt. It's not a game.

If you can present some non-out-of-context proof for these accusations that would be very helpful

Do you live under a rock or something? Are you even from the US? Did you just wake up from a coma?

Not American, not a MAGA supporter or a Lefty I want to know what leads to all of this hate

Read the fucking news then. Don't come on here acting like you know better than everyone if you have no idea about what's going on.

Yes you should.

You are one of the people that shouts and Protestes for human rights but cancels people that doesn't agree with your opinions, that's why I hate politics, all the supporters from both sides are so Two-faced when it comes to criticize their own party does

We can disagree on pineapple on pizza, we can not disagree on if skin color causes people to commit crime. Thank you for attention to this matter.

I think it's a very "out-of-context" statement, the facts are that there is a high percentage of the crimes are committed by a certain "culture", they are not saying: "you are (skin color), you are a criminal"

I disagree with people who don’t think people are people. And if you agree that people aren’t people and don’t understand how that’s different then a disagreement, then I don’t know where to begin, and I would say that you understand that your trivializing things maliciously, but I also understand that you’re an online warrior and you go on posts saying things like this because this is the only attention you get from being a terrible person.

I'm not American

Both parties are getting things out of context very often and exaggerate the actions

If you're not american then you truly don't know what the fuck you are talking about,

I live here and see daily the shit storm the 🍊 pos is causing,

There is no "both sides" there is only one party that is excusing and cosigning cruelty, newflash it's not the dems

Just from this conversation I got a lot of hate towards me from the "left camp" for saying my objective opinion as a Neutral man, and getting arguments that are lacking examples/manners

You sure have a lot posts defending Trump, calling him better than Kamala etc. And complains about the left for someone thats supposedly "neutral" lol. You ain't foolin nobody pedolover

Yeah bro you got me😂 1. I'm indian that was born, raised and still lives in the middle east 2. I don't know much about Kamala or Trump 3. All I see here is hateful comments towards a man who tries to understand why the opinion of a star affects you although you are attracted to her

Someone attempted to report the sub. Their post was taken down, though they for some reason did not provide a reason as to why that post was removed, leaving their users to wildly speculate about Reddit supporting menhating while not condoning womenhating​.

​​​Some drama under that post:

> If you made a subreddit with every post bashing on females it would be banned in less than an hour. If you make a subreddit hating on men then it gets sent to r/ all. Welcome to reddit.

>>Using females and men in the same sentence says a lot about you. Hate to break it to you, but misogynistic sunreddits exist, and this is one of them. Not the mention that a lot of the "man-bashing" is a result of men being assholes. Should women just be silent when men mistreat them because it'll hurt your feelings? Most women don't even hate men, they just wish men would stop hating women. Other women hate men because men hate women, and it becomes a sick cycle of hate that helps nobody.

>>>How dare i use men and females in the same sentence. Truly heinous behavior. And you act like we are the fragile ones. Lol Edit: Actually they are in different sentences. But whatever makes you feel better.

>>>> want you to seriously think about why you made that distinction. I see men do this a lot, and it's usually in an effort to distance women from personhood.

Background:

Nidal Malik Hasan is a former United States Army officer who, in 2009, committed the infamous Fort Hood shooting, killing 13 people (one of whom was pregnant) and injuring 32. Hasan is a Muslim, and stated that his motive was to stop soldiers from going to Afghanistan and killing Muslims. As a result, Hasan was charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder, and sentenced to death.

On October 5, 2026, the Department of Defense issued a statement that Hasan would be executed via firing squad. This was followed by another statement on October 8 that Hasan's execution would be livestreamed, making it the first public execution in the United States in almost a century. Reactions to this have been mixed, with some conservatives being excited to watch it, and others (including JD Vance, of all people) feeling that the televised aspect is a step too far.

Highlights:

A step in the right direction since our culture is too sanitized. It makes me wonder if this will set a precedent for future sentences like Charlie Kirk's assassin, who is also facing potential capital punishment. There has been a lot of talk about that outcome on the right.

I think this tangibility can promote healing and closure not only for the victims, but the entire community wounded.

Yeah I'm sure the grieving will heal over the livestreamed execution discourse 15 years later.

Thomas Aquinas wrote about this but yeah, usually it happens sooner rather than later. Times are changing now though.

Is it? Pretty sure conservatives have been screaming for several decades about America’s moral decline. Do live-streamed public executions not exacerbate that?

That’s a worldview issue. For most people who are conservative, the lawful execution of a convicted murderer, especially one so vile as the Fort Hood shooter, is not representative of moral decline. It is a positive step in society recognizing its duty to delete such people with zero misgivings. And from a Christian religious perspective, which I hold, it is a tacit acknowledgment on the part of the civil magistrate concerning the fact that God requires the life of such people (Genesis 8). The right of human beings to execute capital punishment is sourced in our status as divine image bearers. In other words, in such circumstances, we have been created and appointed to act as God’s avenging angels. Our social duty is to eject murderers out of this life and up to a higher court, so to speak, for final sentencing.

Nothing you wrote here appears to address the fact that this will be a public execution. I support the death penalty, but it is abhorrent that the US government is going to literally live stream a death by firing squad.

Aside from the moral implications, do you not think this would be an extremely terrible thing that no modern Western country does?

I have mixed feelings. After the Muenster rebellion, in which crazed religious cells took over a German city and committed murder, rape, and all other manner of evil deeds, they were eventually apprehended, publicly killed, and their bodies were set in cages, high top of building for centuries. Whatever you think of that dreadful occasion, one thing is sure. It was the last such uprising that area ever saw.

I am probably not in favor of any kind of killing being live streamed so it will be treated like entertainment. That is grotesque.I have much less of a problem with there being public witnesses in the local area.

This entire paragraph reads like the thinking of someone who would ultimately progress to mass murder. Do you see no comparison between what you just wrote and the thinking of suicide bombers? They too believe that they are enforcing God’s will in deleting people that their deity finds repulsive. This is the same line of thought that probably led the Fort Hood shooter to do what he did.

I don’t see your point.

I could just as easily say that the normalization of abortion as reproductive healthcare and the dehumanization and denial of rights for unborn humans will ultimately progress to mass murder.

It actually already has.

But regardless of your opinion on that topic, any idea can be taken to an extreme.

I don’t believe in having the death penalty, but I don’t see any evidence for your point.

How does following your religious text on this topic, ultimately progress to mass murder?

It may not always, but the underlying thinking is the same. The minute that we believe we are God’s avenging angels and it is our duty to remove those who fail to fit that image, we are on the slippery slope of extremism. What usually_fuente wrote us akin to the types of things written in manifestos. If you can’t see that, I can’t help you.

The beliefs I described have been the default view in western society all the way up to about 1965. And yet somehow society rose and progressed all the while. That has a lot to do with how communities interacted with Christian scripture. I am not setting out to change your mind on that. I am simply stating it as a fact. The vast, vast, vast majority of all Christians have never been inclined toward vigilantism because the book itself speaks against it. The Bible is very clear, for those who actually want to read it, that individually motivated killing is forbidden under the New Covenant. The civil magistrate bears the responsibility of executing judgment against murders. This puts a natural limit on personal bias or malice.

Is the system perfect? No. Which is why I can be comfortable with not having the death penalty at all in states where the scales are regularly tipped against justice.

I will only add that the concern you have about certain religious beliefs, leading to insane actions is how I feel about the secular framework that is not tied to transcendent moral realism. The difference is, Christianity did not kill 100 million people in the 20th century. But secular political philosophy is did. The secularism of modern progressivism carries the germ of its own annihilation.

Why do you think it’s a step in the right direction? What is the benefit? Seems like we’d be trending more towards the cultures of the Middle East.

The Middle East has a bad rap for that because they do it for monstrous reasons like apostasy and homosexuality.

Ok but what value do you think public executions would provide?

The community is healed by a visual sense of finale. There's Christian writings on this.

Keep us posted with the link when it actually happens

[deleted]

Christ wouldn’t say that.

[deleted]

Is your vision of Christ the biblical version or the Ai meme dual wielding AR’s Jesus?

So you’re good with children being exposed to live executions?

Did you also say this about the 2026 VMAs and the Superbowl?

Who was killed on live TV during those events?

Children's brains are adversely affected both by sexual content (even when a show just talks about it) and violence. That's scientific fact.

didn’t realize people were publicly put to death as part of the halftime show. guess that happened when i went to the bathroom

Children were exposed to sexually suggestive visuals, bud. Plenty of secular neuroscience and developmental psychology research supports that exposure to sexualized material can influence how children's developing brains process sexual cues, rewards, expectations, and relationships. Both bad for children.

The Patriots didn't lose that bad.

Make it PPV for the deficit!

Is this a joke or do you really want to go full dystopia?

So you aren't interested, cool. Why not raise funds for the deficit for those who are? PPV not public. Do you even think before you post?

As a Christian, I don't like it –and I think it's particularly dystopian– but so long as people aren't MADE to watch it, it's whatever and no different morally to all the weirdly sexual stuff seen on national television, honestly.

You believe that a public execution is equivalent to sexuality on television?

They both contribute to the moral bankruptcy of society, yes.

There's a wee bit of difference in degree of bankruptcy, isn't there?

What type of stuff on tv are you equating this to?

They both have adverse effects.

Very based.

The Islamic terrorist group ISIS used to videotape and publicize their beheadings. Did you consider that "very based"? The Taliban did mass executions in stadiums. "Very based?"

The difference is he has had his day in court and due process has been followed. Do you think due process was violated ?

Did I state anything about his due process being violated? This isn't about having his day in court or violation of due process in convicting him. This is about livestreaming a public execution. We are, presumably, better than ISIS and the Taliban are we not? Do you consider America's public live streamed execution of the Fort Hood shooter "based"?

I consider it justice.

A mass murderer has his day in court had due process and has been convicted. We as a society should be allowed the justice to see that monster removed from this world.

So you approve of his execution being livestream.

I believe this is an example of "conservatives" having lost their way.

Yes absolutely. There is no doubt he did it. I welcome watching the breath leave this mass murderers body

The difference being those were innocent people. Here its a criminal. Context matters.

Innocent according to people other than ISIS and the Taliban you mean. Do you consider America's public live streamed execution of the Fort Hood shooter "based"?

Exactly. That's one of the many reasons the West is a superior culture to the Taliban and ISIS. The Taliban and ISIS are actually in the wrong there. Acting like they have an equally valid point of view in determining guilt and innocence is gross.

That being said, live streaming an execution is also gross.

Okay, agreed.

Now let the user to whom I asked my question-the red flaired rightwing conservative who states it's "very based"-reply for themself.

Good!

Are you going to watch it?

Yeah and possibly bet on the outcome.

We are so cooked as a society

Why is live streaming an execution "good"? And why do you think most of your fellow conservatives in this thread disagree with you?

I don't think he is looking for group validation. That's very much a leftist mentality.

Their down votes mean nothing I’ve seen what makes these people cheer

If downvotes meant something to me, I could go to pretty much any other sub, comment "fuck Trump/Drumpf" and collect upvotes en masse. It'd be like honey to flies. But they mean nothing, so I just do my thing.

If adherence to traditional values isn’t looking for group validation idk what is..

You know that anti-tradition circles are also ways of validating yourself right?

It’s good because we get to see justice done upon a coward and a traitor.

I understand the disagreement. I don’t think that they’re valid.

is seeing it as something barbaric not a valid argument?

Don’t like it? Don’t watch.

Just because I chose not to watch something doesn’t make it go away. The government live-streaming an execution is still barbaric.

You know what is really barbarous? Shooting unarmed people because you think your God commands you to do so.

He did just that so he will be punished.

i never said that wasn't barbaric. it will give him the martyrdom he wants. live-streamed executions are what jihadists do. do we really want to be like the taliban?

Ok, I’m fine giving him what he wants in this case.

Well, I’m not sure if you know this but the Taliban also drives cars owns guns beats meat and drinks water therefore if you drive a car if you own a gun if you eat meat or drink water, therefore you’re just like the Taliban.

There’s an important thing called context and you’re willfully ignoring it.

It's weird - but the more I think about it, why not? If the death penalty is legal, if we aren't ashamed of it, then why would we need to hide it from the public?

If you are against the death penalty, then I understand being against this. But if you for it - what is the problem here exactly?

What about live streaming prisons? Sound like a doable idea?

Sure. But I don't think anyone would want to watch.

Good.

Put it on pay-per-view.

Fantastic, one of the best things to come of this administration

Hot take. Care to elaborate?

The death penalty is nessary to ensure justice as a society. If we collectively will have the death penalty it is best that the public can see it. Some people are so craven and disgusting that we as a society need to remove them from this world.

r/Grimdank is a meme subreddit for Warhammer 40,000, a tabletop miniatures wargame, with countless novels and video game spinoffs. The sci-fi setting is (most of the time) a satire of fascism, religious fundamentalism, and British football fandom. In this universe, the religion of the Imperium of Man revolves around Emperor, a rotting corpse sustained by feeding it thousands of psychic souls every day. Those who do not worship the Emperor as a god are deemed "heretics" and are purged to death. The Ecclesiarchy, the Imperial religious administration, is represented on tabletop as a bunch of guys with chainsaws and flamethrowers.

Old drama but here's some bite sized drama. Classic Reddit drama, no politics just vegans vs Reddit. The posts starts innocently enough with the question:

My wife (-to-be) and I are going to Japan as our honeymoon trip this October.

She is vegan and I am not, and we both want to enjoy the local food there.

Diet differences are not a problem for us, I do enjoy eating in vegan sites and she doesn't mind doing the opposite. In general (in european countries) we always manage to find non vegan restaurants/food places with some vegan option, or (more often than not) to find/adapt some dish for her from the regular menu. But I am seeing that it will be way more difficult there.

We have already listed some vegan places to visit along our route (we do a classic first visit route to japan, including the main cities). However we will have to improv many of the places where to eat.

Any suggestions / advice / experiences of mixed vegan/non vegan people visiting Japan will be really appreciated!

Also, any non-vegan places with vegan options that you can reccomend will be also appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance!

And because Redditors are very normal(tm) when it comes to veganism, someone responded with this:

My suggestion would be, if possible, to switch to a vegetarian diet at the very least while you're there.

There are a lot of vegan options, but you really have to drag yourself to them. You won't find anything vegan on busy food streets... Remote touristic areas won't have anything either. If you're vegetarian, you can at least eat some stuff from konbinis.

Someone did not like this suggestion (for obvious reasons):

this is such a horrible advice and i find it a little rude it’s the top upvoted comment.

you do NOT need to compromise on being vegan in japan. every major city had PLENTYY of japanese fully vegan restaurants or restaurants with a vegan menu.

will you be able to be spontenous and eat anything? no

will you be able to try EVERY SINGLE JAPANESE SOECIALTY? no

will you need to break off from a group for some meals? 100%

will you be able to try the vast majority of them and experience veganism in another country from a different point of view? YES but it will require A LOt of planning.

Of course someone else objected to this suggestion but they weren't as kind:

Abusing or consuming animals during holidays is not okay or acceptable.

One user is succinct in their doubts that someone could eat vegan in Japan:

She's going to starve.

Another user gives their two cents:

Stay home

HIGHLIGHTS

Yeah, that's my thinking too. When you reach the point of being able to live in every possible luxury and just want money for money's sake....that's mental illness right there

All it takes is to start a really successful company and go public. Ya don’t really have the billions in cash, but being a majority holder means your networth goes through the roof. No billionaires are holding that in cash, it’s just pieces of paper saying they own parts of companies. Companies that are hiring people and paying wages, producing products for consumers to buy.

They can still borrow money against those assets or use shares of the company as bargaining chips. If their company is worth 1billion, that still makes them absurdly rich even if they don't have that actual billion in cash . Nevermind those that are worth over 100 billion

Why does that matter? What I’m saying is they’re not “hoarding” cash like a dragon. The difference between a trillionaire, a billionaire, and a 100M is just how many pieces of paper they’re holding. It’s not changing life for anyone else. Them having it isn’t what’s keeping you from obtaining it.

The idea that billionaires having billions doesn't effect you doesn't stand up to even the slightest scrutiny. As the easiest, most in your face example - individual billionaires own or financially control most media companies (social, legacy and now LLMs). That has a huge impact on everything. The whims of individuals decide what's important to nations.

Just don’t use their products? Parents have influence over their kids. Trachers over students. Principals over the whole school. Deans over whole colleges. Religious leaders over vast swaths of the earth. The higher you go on any ladder, the more people your decisions influence. If influence is the problem, let’s assassinate anyone who can cause 1M people to tattoo themselves through any actions they have available to them. Violence, money, words, anything. Why are y’all so hellbent on financial influence?

Again, what nonsense. Even if I don't use their products, they influence societies globally. Their 'pieces of paper' mean they can increase hate towards certain groups, they can make laws more or less likely, and they themselves are barely constrained by laws because of their leverage and deep pockets for lawyers. Other people having influence does not negate the fact that they do because they have money. You said "them having it is not life changing for anyone else". That is clearly not true.

This is the most fantasy BS ive ever seen. Their spots would just be filled with someone else

You didn’t even make it to the third page?

So in this fantasy BS if you accrue over 999 million dollars you just explode? Plot hole. The point is there will always be someone. The majority of people who espouse this nonsense would take 1 Billion dollars in a heartbeat.

That’s not a plot hole. That’s how the plot works. That’s the premise of the story. Your point is that people would take a billion dollars for free, knowing that doing so results in them exploding. That’s moronic.

I think you are just assuming that rather then it being objectively established.

It’s objectively established when it talks about how every attempt at inheritance leads to them exploding

Nah that is a plot hole. Inheritance isn't the only way to get a billion dollars.

Child left behind

A real reddit take, billionaires are the singular and only problem in the world and if they are gone all will be well.

How do you suggest the world be improved instead?

How about fixing broken institutions, getting rid of corruption (at all levels, not just billionaires), educate people better and reduce hatred for example?

Who do you think is causing the corruption and hoarding the wealth that would fund those broken institutions?

People at all levels of power? You don't understand how corruption work in poorer countries and have cleanly never been to one. Institutions are broken due to a multitude of complex factors. If you think "you just get rid of all the billionaires and suddenly all institutions are fixed" this is a level of naivety that should be illegal. Life is not a children's book. It's not a movie. Nothing works like that.

I'm still not seeing any ideas beyond platitudes from you. "Fix the insitituons", "reduce hatred", how do you do that? If you wanna ignore the underlying premise of the comic, no one can have an honest conversation with you.

Because "explode all billionaires" is your idea? How do you fix all institution and reduce things like racism? You understand those are very difficult questions with bo simple answer. I'm not dumb enough to think I have the solution to solve all the world's problems or that it could fit in a Reddit comment. Idk start by even reading the Wikipedia page instead of arguing with me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption?wprov=sfla1

Liberal hopeslop is so funny to me. I'm not a right winger or centrist but divine intervention murder isn't a good look and this would only drive the world into actual chaos and likely just trigger a global economical collapse. Massive corporations would totally fracture and die because anyone who takes ownership would explode in that instant. Pepsi for example would have to be split into 200 entirely different companies just to stay under a billion in value while over 500 brands of food and beverage totally halt. Now apply that to 11,000 companies, hundreds of politicians and political leaders, etc. Also, of course, any major movement would be forced to be governmentally owned because the second it gets too big, even if it's for a good cause, people will start to explode. The unfortunate reality is that there's is so single easy fix for the current climate and the best we can do is advocate and push for better rights for the people and globally making everyone's quality of life better.

Nonsense. PepsiCo can be worth a trillion dollars and so long as no one individual owns more than a billion dollars worth of shares, being a publicly traded company, no one explodes.

That still doesn't fix any of the problems with the companies since they would still be controlled by the rich just in the eyes of profit instead of focused, smart leaders who actually can care about the quality of the products. It would just limit their total individual ownership over everything to just 900 million instead of a billion.

Since when do the CEOs of multi-billion dollar companies give one single fuck about the quality of a product? They would sell you poison if the regulatory penalties were lower than the potential profit.

I'm not saying that they currently do or don't. It's just easier for one person to make decisions over hundreds or rich investors.

You know, instead of wishing for divine intervention to usher in a new period of less wealth inequality, a society could institute collective ownership of the means of production to eliminate wealth inequality forever. And it wouldn’t require divine intervention. You could manage it with just regular people.

This time it will work for sure. All those other people did it wrong

You should read up on the topic and learn more about it. Not saying it’ll change your mind or anything, but learning more about the things you continue to disagree with has value. I’ve done it several times myself.

The more I learn of communism the more I disagree with it. I consider myself pretty open minded

Ok. Which parts do you disagree with?

Im not him but Im talking for me because I wanted to answer this. I don't think that communism was "created" in bad faith, the opposite, it was created believing that humanity can be good and support each other. But it always happens that when tried, it gives all the power of the state to one person, which is dangerous because everything is at the will of what someone believes, lived, wants and thinks what is correct and what is not.

You should take a look at how the political system in Vietnam works. It’s a very pluralistic system.

"It threatens violence or physical harm at someone" Do... Do those people think this is real?

It's almost 100% likely that Reddit Admins are 90% bots. I made a comment warning a guy that sneaking weed into his coworker's brownies wasn't a good idea and had to fight an accusation of 'threats of violence or physical harm'. sure. cause wanting someone 'not' to get in trouble because of their own stupidity is a threat. That being said, this comic seems a little blanket and I'm wondering what your opinions are on people like Taylor Swift or Warren Buffet. Shouldn't you be less against billionaires in general and more against people who abuse the systems of Capitalism to enrich themselves at the expense of others? Or to put it another way, I'm fairly certain their are billionaires who would happily settle for only being millionaires, and that wealth and the wealthy aren't inherently evil, it's... how did the old saying go? that love of money is the root of all evil?

Billionaires can absolutely settle for being millionaires, there’s nothing preventing them from doing that. This is the dumbest part of that whole comment.

Wow, you can read. That’s what I just said dumbnuts. But you have to address the economic systems or new billionaires will keep popping up.

"But you have to address the economic systems or new billionaires will keep popping up." No because then they would die. Every new billionaire dies the instant they become billionaires.

Than be more clear in your language dipshit. That isn’t what they said. They implied a one time thing. And that still doesn’t handle the economic systems. Those potential billionaires will just stop at 900 million and finagle their finances. Keep screeching and thumping your chests though. That’ll change anything.

The cynicism/defeatism in the comments is very frustrating. Edit- The current economic system had my mom's cancer treatment cost 120,000$, student loan debt is crushing me, I've seen multiple recessions, wars based on rich wanting to make money through defence contracts, grocery shopping now is a nightmare, and y'all want to just whine and act like we can't do anything because getting rid of the billionaires won't really change anything? Stay home then, and sulk. Just don't drag others with you

The economic illiteracy to take this comic seriously is also frustrating, it's not 1000 guys that make sure teachers don't get paid "closer to their worth" or insurance is for-profit. These are structural issues that don't get fixed by putting an extremely high cap on individual wealth. If people don't understand any economics beyond "billionaires bad" it's kinda correct to be defeatist. Cattle that will be ruled by slopulism til the end of time.

Billionaires bad is the biggest problem since we cant do anything else until they are sorted

Utter nonsense, and the real defeatism.

America only thrived when we taxed them into ovlivion, which is why we aren thriving now

Bruh. This is proving the other guys point

That billionaires shouldn't exist? Thanks!

Figure its a typo, but you're right billionaires should exist!

Billionaires are parasites on society. Why would we want them to exist?

Hot damn, the amount of bootlickers crawling for a crumb or a sniff in this thread is insane. yeah, it's not a well thought out worldview, but the vehemence with which some of you are deriding it could be studied by psychology for years. They're not going to annoint you into their special club just because you defend their honour online. They wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. They hate you as much as they hate the people who hate them. Go enjoy your own life instead of spending it angry on behalf of billionaires who wouldn't care if you died in front of then.

We’re trying to save your souls and our own. Hatred and envy are poison.

You’re not trying to save shit, you just hope you’ll be a billionaire one day too so you let these jerks run rampant.

No, I have no intention of becoming a billionaire. I’m just content and not covetous.

Oh, so just a wanker then

Another person trying to sell “if we kill all the bad people, there won’t be bad people anymore, and things will get better” as a serious idea.

Who said anything about killing? It could just be illegal to own that much money

Did you miss the part where every billionaire exploded. They’re pretty dead.

I think you missed the part about this being a comic, not a political pamphlet. Billionaires exploding was just rethorical

It would be nice though!

One can hope..

So, the real question everyone is thinking: how can we make this happen?

easy. those billionaires are billionaires because everyone else made them billionaires. Zuckerberg is only a billionaire because you use Facebook. Bezos is a billionaire because you like the convenience of Amazon. they are billionaires because "normal people" promoted them to that state.

"how can we make this happen" does not mean " how did we let this happen"

both have the same answer. stop using their stuff. if everyone stops using Facebook/Instagram, Zuckerberg will lose everything. if no one uses Amazon anymore, so will Bezos. and so on, and so on...

And ton of people who work in those companies would lose their jobs, what a great plan. You can't really affect billionaire by ignoring their product, they already had the wealth, boycotting company or straight up doing something with it would only hurt regular people who are far from being even the middle class.

"And ton of people who work in those companies would lose their jobs" they can work somewhere else. and if there are no more jobs, doesn't that mean that those billionaires are actually a net positive because they created those jobs for those people?

there is not a single downside to all billioneies dying

Yes it is, what about gave newell? He is a billonare he whould die too

He would rip us off more too, if he could. He just does less sht than other billionaires, so he looks good compared to them.

How dare you to speak like that to the hand tha give you anual gane discounts, a good support system and good comunication with the comunity💔 gave aprecieates the ocean life and his consumers thats why steam its the best plataform to bouy games and vavlve the wet dream for working

Gabe isn't some wholesome philanthropist, he is a greedy billionaire. You can't be a good person and own one of the biggest yachts in the world.

Bruh, he owns a yatch because like what i said later he likes ocean life and he lives in the yatch to study and watch the sea life you dumbass

I don't care what he does on it, you can't own a yacht and be a good person.

Really interesting paper that definitely lines up with my (older Gen Z) experience. I wonder if there's some relation between this and the "Gen Z hates sex" narrative in the media these days. Would really like to see larger/international studies on this subject.

So.. now they get to experience what women have felt about sex for a very long time re: shame?

And ironically, the actually predatory men aren't anxious at all, in fact, they think they're in the right. You hear about false accusations all the time online, but take a step back: Who do you know in real life that's had that happen to them?

The problem is, a lot of young men will see anonymous comments like “My friend of a cousin’s roommate was called a creep because he looked at a woman weird” and decide that’s all it takes to turn them away from dating forever.

We’re never getting replacement fertility

Depends on who 'we' are. The ones that reproduce will have the genes that are able to thrive and reproduce in the current environment. Over a long enough timeframe they may reach replacement fertility. Everyone else will be culled by the Darwinian filter.

/r/psychologyofsex

I’m sure it will have no effect on performance anxiety…

That's not necessarily women's problem though so it doesn't matter.

Interesting. None of the 20-30 year old gay men I know feel this way.

I get the concern about consent . I've never ever seen any consent education that says Women must also ask Men for consent

Of course everyone must consent to each other, men and women . But most men are physically larger and stronger than most women.

/r/conspiracy

Sorry, but a study based on 32 interviews across a 14 year age gap is just not worth considering. I could pick 32 people at random and ask them if they drink and if 28 of them say they don't, I am either in a non-drinking country or it's a coincidence. 32 is just too small a sample group to consider. I have two sons aged 18 and 21 and they definitely don't see sex as a hazard to manage, we have raised them to be open and honest about sex and to be respectful and considerate with women, but they certainly aren't anxious about it. The language used here sounds like alpha male bullshit, or they are asking men who have no confidence in life in general.

Wtf is "getting consent wrong"? Omg. Weird that STDs and pregnancy aren't in there. Then my favorite "sex is like trying to diffuse a bomb"...

[r/amioverreacting](r/amioverreacting) mod removed user’s post and comments, claiming that “pedo” is a slur. When the user asked why it was removed, he was muted.

Edit: a Mod of that server has entered this comment section and claimed there is “missing and twisted context,” so here is the original comment with the “context” that should allegedly lead a reasonable person to claim that“pedo” is a slur:
The “Missing” Context

When users posted screenshots the situation itself in “amioverreacting,” the posts were deleted, and they were banned.

One quote from the screenshots that particular drew contention for implying that pedophiles were a “protected class”:

“We understand that you may not personally consider the word or language you used to be a slur or believe that you intended anything hateful or bigoted.
That does not make it appropriate for this subreddit.
We moderate the language being used, not whether we believe the person using it is racist, transphobic, ableist, homophobic, or otherwise a bigot. Slurs and identity-based insults are not permitted here, including terms that some people use casually or do not personally consider offensive.

Here is the immortal post on the user’s page, which cannot be deleted by moderation:
https://www.reddit.com/u/DueDistribution5502/s/NTIHPPXisb

[r/amioverreacting](r/amioverreacting) since has shut down its server and is only allowing verified posts.
[r/aio](r/aio) (where the post blew up) has similarly disabled reposts and deleted the post.

This is the Moderator Statement exactly as it was originally posted from [r/amioverreacting](r/amioverreacting):
“Moderator Statement: Clarification of Our Rules and Ongoing Harassment
Earlier today, a moderator responding to multiple conversations incorrectly identified the word "pedo" as a slur. That was a mistake, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
Our automated moderation system uses a prohibited-word list containing primarily discriminatory slurs. It also includes terms we prohibit for entirely different reasons, including
"pedo." Because these terms are caught by the same filter, they receive the same generic removal message. In this instance, a moderator repeated that classification incorrectly.
We were wrong to call it a slur. We are not wrong to prohibit its use in this community.
We do not allow accusations of pedophilia, nor do we host discussions or debates about child sexual abuse, grooming, or exploitation. These are extremely serious matters. Unsubstantiated accusations can cause tremendous harm, and genuine situations involving the abuse or exploitation of children are not questions of whether someone is overreacting. They require appropriate intervention and support, not a Reddit comment section debating their validity.

Our volunteer team handles hundreds, sometimes more than a thousand, reports daily. Expecting moderators to manually investigate every use of a prohibited word, particularly when none of those uses would be permitted, is unreasonable. Our filters are necessary and functioning as intended.
We have also seen demands to identify, punish, or remove the moderator responsible. We are volunteers and human. A mistake in explaining a decision does not justify publicly targeting someone or invalidate an otherwise correct moderation action.
We are not changing our rules, weakening our filters, or removing moderators over this incident.
Criticism of moderation is permitted. Harassment, personal attacks, and organized attempts to disrupt another community are not. Brigading is a violation of Reddit's sitewide policies, not simply a disagreement with our subreddit rules. We are now dealing with outside interference, including vile and entirely unfounded accusations directed at our moderators not only here but on other subreddits and in modmail. As well as actual threats.

We will not make this community less safe simply to avoid having our moderation team subjected to false and vile accusations. Our responsibility is to protect this community and the people who use it, not to abandon longstanding safety policies because enforcing them has made us targets of harassment.”

It has since been slightly altered after substantial backlash and them freezing comments on the post, but so many people screenshotted, shared, and commented on the original post that it’s more relevant than the update. Also, they froze comments on it and massbanned people before updating, so any backlash to that post is drama on a different subreddit.

I've posted about this sub here before. Exact same OP of both drama posts as well.

In the clip posted to the sub, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed answers a question from a pro-life conservative about if he should vote for him. The main powermod of the sub asks if AES is a real ally or not and to "send receipts", causing some people to question OP's intents (each linked comment is the powermod's comment):

How come when this sub pops up on my feed it’s usually showing something vaguely anti progressive? I get being skeptical but if you think the right has something better for us you have to rethink where you stand morally…

This sub doesn’t exist to toe the line and make white people comfortable. Wrong sub for that.

Don't start this shit because the alternative is MUCH worse

Vote for whoever you like. Black people like myself can ask questions and demand answers and receipts. We aren’t children who have to do what we are told…or else. You can’t scare me. My ancestors lived and survived so I can have a voice to ask questions of anyone. The alternative is to that is much worse.

You’re asking the wrong question. Is he a better ally than the guy he is running against is the question you should be asking.

I’m asking what I’m asking. I will not be bullied into being told who to vote for the states are too high as they are always high. Nothing new. Those were old enough to see seen this cycle before.

Wtf kind of question is this? Kinda weird, OP

You don’t want me asking questions? Why ?

We're not gonna have any allies if we put each thru a historical purity check in order to be down. Also, do your own research.
What allies??? Show me allies of Black people. I’ll wait

Yeah and we ended up with Trump because of talk like yours. I would take the lesser evil of Kamala or Hilary or Biden every God damn day over the nightmare we have now.

The Democrats ran Biden. You would run him again I suppose. Brilliant. (OP)

I would vote for a sentient pile of shit over Trump. Fuck ICE. Fuck Steven Miller.

I figured you’d vote for anyone even if they aren’t an ally and will do nothing for our people. Got it. You’ve proven my point.

Detroiter here, he has my vote. Even if I didn’t agree with him, my other choice is Mike Rogers, and that’s not really a choice at all.

You vote for him because he’s gonna pass reparations? Make racism illegal? Make the KKK a terrorist organization? Make racist hiring practices and income inequality criminally illegal? Or are you just voting because of fear of more MAGA? I’m not saying who to vote for. I’m just hoping we get more for the vote than we have gotten over the past hundred years

Overall there are TONS of people calling that powermod out for what they think is astroturfing/agenda pushing.

UPDATE: the powermod posted a pinned comment on that thread where they are getting slammed.

UPDATE: Formation.dev’s CTO had the admin delete and censor the exposé. Full astroturfing

This is a screenshot of the post before it was deleted.

Source https://www.reddit.com/r/codingbootcamp/comments/1x4jimn/was_a_formationdev_student_involved_in_the/

A former mod of [r/codingbootcamp](r/codingbootcamp) and cofounder of a tech training company called Formation.dev is exposed after writing a critical post about a competitor called Codesmith for malware in a student project.  

It turns out the source of the malware came from a compromised previous employee at Formation.dev who had graduated from Codesmith which he did not disclose. This is on the back of a years long campaign where they posted obsessively nearly daily about the school, comparing it to a sex cult, to the point it became a viral investigation last year. 

Most people on the /codingbootcamp subreddit are sick of this user’s constant posting. Even though their conduct appears to violate multiple reddits policies, like not using their previous mod position for commercial purposes, they still post nonstop

If you look at /codingbootcamp you see a high level of astroturfing from this user and now they are crashing out.

Recent history of propaganda by same company owner (whose now in the comments)

- Falsely announces Codesmith shut down

- Doxxes previous CEOs LinkedIn and implies she should be sued

For reference, the new mod has a LONG history of taking over womens' spaces and shilling his business. His first "official post" as a moderator was to ban discussion of sexism, which is a very relevant topic when it comes to healthcare as women face multiple layers of hostility and sexism in trying to get care. Conveniently, when this rule was criticized, he then deleted that post as well.

Several people have caught bans (we are discussing this elsewhere) for pointing out his authoritative and dismissive tone towards anyone and everyone with concerns, ranging from a simple "why was no one involved in this decision" to "why is a cis man telling us how to manage our emotions" (in his first action, he told us to go outside).

I can't even provide much in the way of proof of what's happening because he is deleting everything he doesn't like. Even posts talking about moderator code of conduct have been deleted, he's hidden himself from the moderator list (which is now just him) so that people can't report him directly.

People with no history of offenses are getting temporary and permanent bans despite the fact that those are lower on the tier and require more offenses to be the given moderator action, so he is breaking his own rules.

On a personal note I haven't seen any slurs or anything of that nature thrown his way, mostly just questioning why a man is in charge of a female space, why no one was asked about this, why specifically he is against the discussion of sexism in healthcare.

A link to his "official first action"

OP:

https://www.reddit.com/r/whatdoIdo/comments/1x3xc4s/my_girlfriend_of_7_months_has_been_telling_hotels/

(OP is 33, his gf is 25)

Opinions vary about what, if anything the lies mean about his gf's character, and if the brownie and special treatment is worth it:

All that lying for a free brownie? It’s not like you are getting a chilled bottle of champagne. What about if you ever get married, the novelty of someone doing up your room will wear off. I would ask her to stop doing it going forward. It’s classless.. low mentality … all for a free brownie

I can see that I'll be in the minority here. I agree with the others that have posted thus far that its not the case that she is trying to rush the relationship. Her objective is free stuff. There is an integrity component. She lies easily. This is not lying to for some noble cause, say like saving the life of a child.

This is an integrity issue - same kind of person who claims their dog is a service animal, every day is their birthday, their grandmother died yesterday, and so on. I think a large part of our population sees no issues with this and a large part of our population bemoans the loss of ethics in our society today. I have dated someone who was like this - fudged on their expense forms at work, told little white lies here and there, and was always trying to work the system for free stuff. He claimed it was cultural since he was from another country.

She's being clever, you're being silly and over thinking. My wife use to do this all the time and still does. Doesn't always work but when it does, it's pretty cool. We've had free room upgrades, free drinks, meals etc.

Omg shes a genius, ima start doin that 😬, ofc they wont care to fact check 😏….also its my bday guys …. Just go along with it OP, your GF has whimsy

I feel like she deserves so much better than a bf asking reddit if he should be concerned 😭 she’s a rebel and she’s getting you free fancy stuff. What a legend.

Various users seem to think the bigger issue is OP mentioning that this is "moving too fast" to involve even fake mention of marriage/honeymoon in their 6-month relationship:

33 years old, and you're consistently worried about women "moving too fast?" Buddy, the clock is ticking.

to be fair he is probably one of those dudes that likes the 18-25 range and thinks that means he has more time

If you ate that brownie and are still complaining I hope she leaves lmfao You’re 33 and this is the second time things are moving too fast..?? 🫠😬

And finally, the evergreen sub-drama of the "age/generation gap" between a 25 and 33-year old appears, along with insinuations that OP likes "younger women" for untoward reasons or can't date someone his own age:

Are you feeling like your 25-year-old girlfriend is being childish? Perhaps you should follow that train of thought a bit longer.

Stop infantilizing a fully grown adult woman. At 25 you are old enough to be fully graduated with a Bachelor’s degree. 33 and 25 is a perfectly reasonable age gap. You’re delusional.

You'll never see the men on Reddit rise up quite so aggressively as when you suggest they shouldn't date younger women lol

Date someone your own age?

You sound like you have commitment issues and that’s why you’re dating someone in their early 20s. You seem like the problem

“i’m worried about the maturity of my girlfriend who is a full generation younger than me” - you, guy who can’t get girls his own age

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/1x44k0b/dan_levy_slams_shane_gillis_snl_monologue/

Context: Shane Gillis is a famous comedian, who while not explicitly right wing, does promote right wing talking points and manosphered figures, such as Joe Rogan and Theo Von. During his SNL monologue this weekend he said:

"I haven't been to the gym in so long, I didn't know women just dress like whores now?" he said. He followed up by describing their workout shorts in detail and adding, "And don't look! You're not allowed to look."

Which has stirred up a large amount of controversy, specifically from Dan Levy, a Canadian thespian, and the son of Eugene Levy, of American Pie fame

HIGHLIGHTS

He’s actually making fun of bigots kind of

Reminds me of that comic where a guy is pretending to be stupid, but to everyone else, he just looks fucking stupid. For someone making fun of bigots, he sure has built a fanbase of bigots.

Anyone who thinks Gillis is an actual Republican or a bigot is light speed stupid and that's on them, not him

Being an ‘actual Republican’ is meaningless though. He promotes guys like Theo Von and Joe Rogan who are ‘actual republicans’. Some of his jokes are making fun of them or those ideas but not in a way that actually ‘hurts’ them. The latter part is fine - he’s a comedian, it’s not his job to be an activist if he doesn’t want to. But the point is, his comedy doesn’t really stand with either side, and yet both personally and professionally he has done a lot for the misogynist and Republican perspective. He may well not be a bigot or Republican, but he sure acts like one in the public sphere, and we are who we pretend to be.

This reads as someone who spends too much time on the Internet. Theo von isn't a Republican, he's a self admitted politically ignorant fool, who everyone, including himself, thinks he is in over his head with politics. And Shane sticking up for his friends even if he doesn't believe in what they do is only strange to people that don't really have a diverse group of friends.

Telling someone they spend too much time on the internet is a classic sign of spending too much time on the internet, man. Only someone who’s self-conscious about all his time online would thinks this way. Nothing they said is super online and people in real life think this way too. Maybe not around you, but there are so many different communities in this country. Trying to use this weird ad hominem to dismiss what they said without addressing it says more about you than them.

Lmao did you seriously just turn "no u" into a paragraph?

No, I said YOUR “no, u” is pretty lame.

People are being way too dramatic about his jokes. They weren’t even that edgy

I feel like the bigger issues with his jokes discussed here is that you would just have to be brain dead to think they were funny.

Yes redditors, the judges of comedy.

We are each individually our own judges of comedy. For me personally, I think one would need to be a little brain dead to find humor in the shock-value comedy of “women are whores at the gym because they’re wearing workout clothing.” Just me though.

Shane has a hugely successful comedy career. He's funny whether or not you like it.

I could list a lot of comedians who have successful comedy careers who I don’t find very funny. This joke in particular of Shane’s is dogshit, in my personal opinion.

Put it on your blog.

Shane Gillis is real hit or miss. I don't have any moral issue with what he said I just didn't think it was that funny. That being said I also don't think it was shocking and upsetting enough to shun him from live TV.

So you’re going on the record saying you don’t have a moral issue with him calling women whores when they wear athletic clothing to the gym?

I didn’t like everything he said in the monologue, but the part about women wearing very little clothing in the gym and getting mad at him for looking kinda added up? That’s a TikTok trend that needs to be made fun of… plenty of other phrases and generally unfunny material for him to be embarrassed about though. He knew he bombed, he noticed when people finally cheered for the musical artist that he bombed. You have to remember the history of him and the show. They dropped him when he was canceled for saying racist jokes about Asians… he probably carries a little bit of animus toward SNL that allows him to use scrappy material. Still think he’s capable of being hilarious though.

So he’s mad that he got fired for being a racist and that gives him the juice to “use scrappy material”? What?

He goes on SNL quite a lot for a very popular comedian. I think it’s very funny that he swore in a skit and apologized for that though. Super ironic the stuff we care about and what we don’t!

People on Reddit don’t realize comedians are making jokes - it’s not what they actually think most of the time. It’s meant to be edgy. Not everything needs to be over analyzed. Liberals having no sense of humor makes us look silly. I’m a liberal btw. We need to be better.

Please tell us how liberals are bad while also telling us over and over how you’re also a liberal.

All this culture war stuff becomes talking points for the Conservative Party so we can’t focus on real issues. That’s my gripe. It hurts us as a whole. Just like 99% of liberals agree that men shouldn’t be in women’s sports but yet no one will say it. While I know not a single person (trans or otherwise) who thinks it should be allowed. Same goes for comedy. This is all just noise and not a hill worth standing on.

But I just need to you tell me that you’re a liberal and that liberals are bad more. Because that’s such an important detail that you’ve had to include a whole lot that adds so much to your point that you should hammer it home more.

Great feedback. Here’s your gold star ⭐️

Sorry to have pointed out how meaningless your contributions are. Rather than self reflect you’re just going to walk away thinking you can’t possibly be wrong in this situation and will double down on the future. Hopefully your children are smarter than you, but hopefully you don’t have any to begin with.

Personal attacks happen when you have no ground to stand on. Have a nice day. You can reflect today on what a justice warrior you are and all the people who’ve helped from scary comedians. You’re making the world a safer place.

For real, why SNL keep bringing Gillis back? Besides all the shitty things he says, he guy is just not funny!

Because he’s the biggest comedian in the world right now? Because it’s a comedy show? Because his episodes get way higher ratings than the rest of the season?

In the world? You must be the type of person who says a NBA champion is the champion of the world

Are there other professional basketball teams in another country that would beat the Knicks?

Oh the american exceptionalism in full motion. Literally thinking they can call a national league “champion of the world”

SHOCKINGLY you dodged my question.

The Knicks would face head to head with the best European teams. If you think they would dominate, you just don’t watch basketball enough. There, I answered it.

I put Rogan on ignore for a decade and it didn't work. He got bigger and helped elect Trump.

Are you under the impression that if you vocally criticized Rogan for that decade it would have changed the course of national politics? What a heavy burden to carry.

Rogan doesn't have the power and influence he has because people just ignored what they objected to.

I… totally agree. Your ignoring him has zero relevance to whatever “power and influence” he has, and it’s bizarre that you seemed to think otherwise in your first comment.

Putting a spotlight on something bad has more impact ... than ignoring it. edit: Are you saying rogan has power and influence because detractors criticize him?

Rogan has “power and influence” because of the people who like him and listen to him, and they don’t give a fuck whether you criticize him or ignore him.

I disagree. They are humans and intelligent enough to grasp truth when they are exposed to it.

I can’t imagine the level of sheer arrogance it takes to believe that the people who don’t agree with you are such empty vessels that their mere exposure to your perspective would rewrite their beliefs and preferences. It’s ironic that you wrote that they’re humans, because this delusion is dehumanizing and treats them like props upon which you can impose your outlook. Hell, why haven’t I changed my mind now that I’ve been exposed to your “truth?”

The point of a joke is A) It's funny. B) It's rooted in some kind of relatable base. C) It has a punchline, or landing. This had neither. It was literally just him admitting (jokingly or not) to perving over women in the gym, then blaming them for not being able to stare. Literally bottom of the barrel humour that wouldn't have been THAT funny 20 years ago, and is just tired and embarrassing now.

Actually it had all three, but it's okay if you didn't find it funny. People are allowed to have opinions. Your comment didn't make me "speechless that something like it can exist on the Internet."

Misogynistic humour just isn't funny, regardless of the delivery, and especially when it's this... Tasteless. Like there's no class to the joke whatsoever. It's just 'hey attractive women might dress a certain, best not stare otherwise you'll get in trouble' Like... Ok? Assuming you were raised right, it's not a joke, it's just a statement of being a decent human lol

"Misogynistic humour just isn't funny, regardless of the delivery, and especially when it's this... Tasteless. Like there's no class to the joke whatsoever. It's just 'hey attractive women might dress a certain, best not stare otherwise you'll get in trouble'" Misogynistic humor is actually incredibly funny. As are fat jokes, race jokes, LGBT jokes, and nationalist jokes. Especially when they're made by women, minorities, and LGBT comedians. "Like... Ok? Assuming you were raised right, it's not a joke, it's just a statement of being a decent human lol" If you were raised right you'd know not to take jokes too seriously. If you're overly sensitive, don't watch comedy.

My point is that it wasn't comedy. It was just a drawn out insult aimed squarely at women. Comedy can be cruel, cruel cannot always be comedy. This was the latter.

People saying Shane Gillis is not funny, please stop. You may not like the guy, but the man is funny. We used to be able to separate things. Looks like nowadays, our personal opinions about someone have completely taken over our ability to acknowledge when they're good at what they do.

I don't think he's funny. Can he say things that are funny? Sure. That doesn't mean he's funny.

Lol wut?

Someone can say something you find funny but also not be a good comedian and therefore not a funny person. He's not funny.

His job is to literally make people laugh for a living. Hard to do that if you aren't funny. What is going on here people?!

So every comedian is funny to you? the fuck is wrong with your brain dude.

Comedy is subjective. There is also a difference between you saying "I don't think he's funny" and flat out declaring "He's not funny". You are just showing your ass with the later.

Here's what I don't understand: I'm constantly reading people on Reddit say "cancel culture doesn't exist!" and then reading comments like Dan Levy's. So is it that cancel culture doesn't exist, but you want it to?

This isn't hard. Don't go on SNL and talk shit about women and expect to not have consequences. He knew what he was doing and he can fuck off and tell jokes to his Nazi friends moving forward.

Why are making jokes about women off limits?

Please explain what the joke is

The joke is that Shane Gillis looks like a creep in women’s videos at the gym. His persona is that he is an oblivious chud, but the punchline of the joke is that he is the creep in this scenario. Redditors act offended that a well known shock comic uses dated language that goes against current cultural norms, more at 11.

And the “whores” part of the bit adds what context to the joke?

That he’s playing an asshole. It’s his stage persona. Same as how Larry the Cable Guy isn’t actually southern.

Funny everyone is so "offended" and not even mentioning he dropped an F bomb on live tv. Just saying how much the world has changed. 40 years ago his content would be fine but the f bomb would be front page headline with people calling for the shows cancelation.

Because the word “fuck” is not inherently offensive. It’s offensive when used at someone, which he didn’t. Calling women whores is offensive. I have zero issue with the cursing and don’t get the puritanical pearl clutching about it.

He said they dress like whores, not that they are whores.

“I said he ACTED gay, not that he was gay.” Surely you understand whore being the insult is the issue.

If someone says it on stage on a comedy show, it’s a joke and you really should lighten up

A number of people believe the person who uploaded the video is a "Hindu bot"

Hello Indian bot. Still trying to please Israel huh

Another user claims he deserved it

One must realize how genocidal Hindu Nationalists really are, this is interesting hasbara.

Another downvoted user replies

What does this have to do with anything? The issue at hand is that Saudi Arabia is sentencing a man to death over a Facebook comment

And the reply

Obviously he couldn’t keep his hindu supremacy to himself.

The downvoted rebuttal

Do you blame women when they get raped also?

/r/CleaningTips is exactly as it sounds, a subreddit for people to mainly share cleaning advice or call upon those with sudsy wisdom.

in todays episode, OP submits a photo of a stain they had found under a carpet in their newly purchased furnished home.

(archive of pic just incase, of course)

Recently bought a furnished home and lifted an area rug near a door to discover this on the engineered hardwood. Definitely dog pee judging by the location and smell. We do not have a dog, so there’s no telling how long it’s been there. In the meantime, I’m planning on using Nature’s Miracle enzyme cleaner to help with smell. Is it even possible to get the stain completely out or do we need to budget for eventual floor replacement?

As per the subreddit, people of course offer advice. Professional cleaning/flooring folk can of course help you with a dog piss stained wood floor. Simple answer, everyone go home.

UNLESS?

Some users immediately suspect that it's far more than just urine.

It looks like the shape of a body to me in your picture..

(OP) That thought crossed my mind too. It definitely smells like dog urine though.

Dogs can pee on dead bodies.

(OP) Good lord the absurd turn of this post has me cackling. It’s not a dead body guys. Go outside or something.

Now obviously some users are taking the piss, it's a funny idea of course. OP even acknowledges that the stain itself kinda looks like a body.

One user however is far, far more concerned. In comes Reddit's greatest criminal investigator.

In reply to OP understandably kicking themselves about not being able to look closer at the house before closing the deal, a concerned user presses the issue.

(OP) Yep, we are now kicking ourselves for not looking beneath it. It snuck by the inspector too. It’s one big downside we discovered in the home coming furnished. It would have been glaringly obvious during the final walkthrough if the place was cleared out.

You really really need to have the police come look at that and get the history of the house. People die and sometimes they aren’t found for a long time.

Another user counters this concern,

Theres not a chance this is from a body and calling police is a waste of time and resources. You're required to use a specialized cleaning service in the event of such things and if a body had been laying there they would have torn this section of floor out as it is a biohazard.

I’m sorry to tell you… that’s a body. Maybe it was required but they didn’t because that’s a body.

Happened in the building next to me once. They found the guy like two weeks later. Omg. That’s all I can tell you.

You really need to contact the authorities and do some investigation because something sketchy happened here.

While others in the thread reply in a range of ways to basically say "What the fuck are you talking about?" The OP replies back to the concerned user.

(OP) Is real life not exciting enough for you or something?

I'm sorry you've got this mess to deal with. I wouldn’t want to deal with it either.

If it smells like dog pee, and looks like dog pee (even in a weird shape)…

Weird shape like the exact outline of a body…

In another part of this thread..

Dog piss isnt sketchy. Op said it smells like piss. Its not a body.

Sure

Why are you being so weird? They said it smells like piss. Body stains are also much worse, and as the person above said they would have torn the floor out. Calling the police over that would be absurd.

Because piss doesn’t look like it’s wearing a tank top and pants and leave a clear head print.

This user is so sure of this conclusion that you may even spot them popping up in other parts of the post.

(...) If it is the smell itself that bothers you, I wonder if there is some sort of treatment you can do or an ozone machine or something, but I think the biggest thing is you (could) have dog urine soaked into the wood.

If you bought the place, that at least opens up possibilities of what you can do. Godspeed

That’s a body. We don’t need to be helping them.

Like I said though, most of the other "its a body comments" are mainly jokes. But this stuck out as such an absurd hill to die on.

FLAIR FLEA MARKET

"They found the guy like two weeks later... Omg."

"Because piss doesn’t look like it’s wearing a tank top and pants and leave a clear head print."

I couldn't find a way to slip this comment in the main post but GOD I love it.

"Piss smells like piss. Dead bodies smell like dead bodies. There’s a distinct difference. I’d rather sauna in a steamy broth of piss for 10 hours than ever smell decomposition from a dead body for a mere 6 seconds ever again."

Post: Houthi missile striking Ummrah pilgrims, during attack on Riyadh

Archived Source: https://ghostarchive.org/archive/qdell

Context: OP shares CCTV footage of a Houthi attack on a Saudi airport that reportedly killed 12 travelers. For those who don't know the Houthi flag bears the slogan: “God is great, death to America, death to Israel, curse the Jews, victory to Islam.”

Highlights:

One user shares their own unique theory of the incident

This could be a false flag by Saudi Secret services. Iran has pre-warned about this.

The Houthis already claimed responsibility for the attack.

A user from Pakistan weighs in with their perspective.

May Pakistani air force flatten Houthi and their families. Attack on Umrah pilgrims is the worst thing that they could have done

pakistan ain't gonna do shit, this whole turkey-saudi-pakistan alliance is a clownshow

The top comment expresses solidarity with Yemen, prompting criticism from several users and sparking lengthy discussions in which others attempt to justify the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. Neither side ends up being willing to reconsider their positions, with users on both sides accusing their opponents of being bots.

Solidarity with Yemen

How could you say that after watching that video

Mistakes happen. 

Because Saudi Arabia has bombed the Sanaa international airport like a billion times already and yet I didn't see all those European and muslim countries protest or cry about it. That's considered normal apparently I guess Houthis decided to return the favour for once?

Saudi Arabia starved over 1 million yemenis to death with a blockade of 10 years.

The Houthis aren’t Yemen, they’ve been known as destabilizing Yemen since before most of us were born. Some might support an arc of what they stand far, but they are by no means heroes.

It's still fuck the Saudis (one of the most upvoted comments)

OP explains why they think the Houthi strikes on Saudi's airport was unjustified, which gets met with harsh criticisms

I think it’s quite telling that Saudi air strikes this year have only targeted Houthi positions, meanwhile the Houthis have been targeting Energy Plants and now Airport Terminals. Also quite telling that in the past 3 years of war, a Houthi missile hasn’t killed a single Israeli, yet they managed to kill 12 muslims in one air strike.

Why is a Jordanian who’s zionist slave king shoots down iranian missiles heading to Israel talking about killing israelis?

Saudi killed more than 12 muslims, i can say that much.

Iirc the Houthis warned that there would be retaliation to the bombing of Sanaa airport, and told the Saudis to clear the area.

The amount of people justifying this attack because of Saudi actions from a decade ago. We have reached the point where Iranian propaganda has convinced people that attacking people doing Ummrah is justified. What happens in the past doesn’t justify future actions

Right while half the ummah (gulf countries) are doing israels bidding and protecting israel. As a Jordanian im pretty sure youre a bot 😂😂😂

First, they weren’t attacking Ummrah. Glad you’re openly being deceitful. Second, this has nothing to do with Saudi actions from a decade ago you zionist. They’re responding to Saudi attacks from this recent incursion. Third, “what happens in the past doesn’t justify future actions”? What did Jesus clear Saudis of their sins or something? How far in the past exactly do you have to go before the sins are cleared? 1 millisecond or a few years?

Bombing a run way to an airport that’s only been used for military purposes, is a lot different to bombing an airport terminal, for an airport entirely used for civilians use, and killing a dozen Ummrah pilgrims

No they bombed the runway to prevent a plane from landing. They also killed 72 people in one strike including children about a week ago.

Some users discuss the comment section

wtf are these comments? when did this subreddit turn into a cesspool

It’s always been a cesspool hence the name, AskMiddleEast.

We live in an era where people are devoid of any critical and rationale thought.

Original post: People who show mercy and leniency to criminals are the ones who truly lack empathy

Top comment: Just like we need to, according to you, stop throwing men in jail for not paying their LEGALLY MANDATED, COURT-ORDERED child support*?* https://www.reddit.com/r/HonestHotTakes/s/RCH1ur7kck Don’t murder or rape people, but also don’t be a fucking bum-ass clown of a baby-daddy or father, and just pay your child support.

My god, can we please stop this coward behavior of searching random posts and using that as an argument? It has nothing to do with the OP. It is just such a coward method. “I can’t argue the point so I’m just going to look in your post history for something I might be able to argue instead” Everyone just private your profiles honestly

In a debate a person's previous held positions and statements are fair game.

Because murder and rape = lack of child support payments...

You're a few French fries short of a happy meal...

I don’t think that they are. People that refuse to support their children should have the book thrown at them, possibly rocks as well.

Some fathers can't afford to pay child support, especially in this economy. If the marriage dissolved over financial issues due to low income, trying to compel the father to pay child support after the marriage has ended only perpetuates the problem which ended the marriage in the first place.

Why? Why can’t a man just abort the baby from his life because he’t too poor to have it? It’s the number one reason abortion lovers cite to kI’ll babies. Why shouldn’t A man be allowed to do the same but without torturing the child to death?

Because the child still exists and still requires support, whether his deadbeat ass likes it or not. Abortion doesn't torture a child to death, and the fact that you think it does is ample evidence that you're not knowledgeable enough about it to qualify to have an opinion.

OP's previous thread: We need to stop throwing men in jail and stop suspending licenses for lack of child support payments

he was born in Germany. He is German because his mother is

Since when did Germans start wearing kanduras and talk about cutting off gay people's hands?

Your clothing style is not taken into account when it comes to citizenship. Anybody with German parents will become a citizen when registered.

…

Deport them to a country that aligns with their values. They can decide what country they want to go to since they love Sharia law so much.

You can't randomly "deport" people who were born in the country to other places lol. As much as I'm for punishing this type of talk, y'all are just acting like ICE 2.0.

Where are they being deported to? You shouldn’t just drop your citizens in someone else’s country without their permission, unless you’re happy with them doing the same to you.

Then monitor him closely for openly stating on television that he's threatening queer people with violence and normalising hate speech.

…

“German”. Sure. Those beliefs are imported from wherever he’s actually from.

He is actually from Germany. He is not an immigrant, and he acquired German citizenship at birth.

> Fun fact: The majority religion in Germany did this and was also imported from the middle east.
I recommend this documentation about victims of §173 where executing people for gay sex had fallen out of favor and they were "only" imprisoned, it has official english subtitles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fMHXHaqsFo Some of these victims may still be alive today. That's what people should think about before voting for right wing "christian" "conservatives" that promise that "remigration" will fix all problems.
Actual German beliefs have not really survived but from what I have read they weren't the most accepting of gay sex either.
Secular humanism would be an example of a much more universal world view to strife for rather than dividing ethnically what is "German" and what is not.

https://www.reddit.com/r/religiousfruitcake/s/lqGiF7cUxG

There is no reason to be intolerant or anti-immigrant. You just need to apply the actual laws of any western country, Germany included. You do not approve of a crime, you do not incite to violence, you do not incite to hatred. All these are actual crimes. Just apply the law as it currently is and all problems will be solved.

…

That my fellow Redditors is what makes Islam unique among religions, at least these days.

You'll find similar texts in the Old Testament. And there are a few radical evangelical preachers who fully support passages like Leviticus 20:13, most prominently Steven Anderson

This sub is called religiousfruitcake for a reason.

Reagan is spinning in his grave. I’d rather pay more than give Russia our money. Embarrassing.

REAGAN LET IN MILLIONS OF IL LEGALS!!’

So what does this mean at the pump? Does Diesel drop from $6 to $5.89, or does it drop to $4?

*cries in california

I have no sympathy for HCOL blue states. Alot of their high prices are of their own doing. Yea, it shouldnt be as high as it is but its made higher because of their Democrat politicians.

We didn’t all vote for that and not all of us can just up and move

Anyone can up and move. It may take dedication or sacrifice, but anyone who says they can't move are not willing to move.

Fucking ridiculous. This is prob the most unimpressed I've been - and I've been pretty checked out lately. Russia is our lifelong enemy. Any move Russia makes is in opposition to us. If he thinks getting diesel prices lower by midterms via Russia of all places is gonna save us I think he's gonna be surprised at the disdain for this move. Just ugh EDIT - why are people from our sub coming to me in DMs? Just ask the questions here FFS. Like u/capsfansteelers whining in my DMs that I hate Trump and should leave the sub. 1) I do NOT hate him in the least, and 2) it's r/Conservative not r/Trump Holy fuck this website is going to shit

RUSSIA ISN'T OUR ENEMY! SORRY BUD

Russia has killed more Americans than Iran in the last 20 years, and they already have nukes. They absolutely are the enemy. Wake up.

Iran literally blew up a bunker with 241 American soldiers in it, wtf? Beirut barracks bombing. Weird that you had to restrict it to 20 years lol.

Ok, let's go back 40. I didn't want to go too far back as the further you go back the more in favour of the Russian caused deaths that occur because of the greater number of proxy wars being fought in Africa, and South + Central America.

If you’re gonna include proxy conflicts then we need to include Afghanistan where 30000 Soviet soldiers died. How is that even close? The fact is proxy conflicts don’t matter. You’re stretchi ng your argument to its limit

While I could see what your saying on a fringe NATO level I have to say They are rivaling us in fuel distro They are the closest thing to China we have in near peer They are still sabotaging us at every turn and harboring/giving asylum to all our traitors And last but absolutely not least THEY ARE IRANS BIGGEST ALLY AND GIVING THEM TARGETING DATA AND INFO oh and btw they are an aggressor to Ukraine who we have a lucrative mineral deal with and committing daily war crimes to our allies

You cannot prove Russia provided it when they are preoccupied with Ukraine and China has better capabilities than Russia. All those things you listed are minor and even non problems. We harbor Russian criminals, we pump out oil too, who cares?

The main problem I have is their allied direct confrontation as well as their indefensible Ukraine offensive And they absolutely provided it wdym

China did.

Absolute betrayal. Well done, America, you finally caved to the commies.

No one cares about Ukraine any more lol sorry homie

I have strongly supported Trump policies for the first five of his years. Somehow he has fallen into the wilderness. I don’t support any deals with Russia/Putin for any reason at the moment. Though I support kicking Irans ass, I don’t support the current approach. Either ramp up the bombing or go home

GET THE DIESEL PRICES DOWN, NO ONE CARES ABOUT UKRAINE ANY MORE!!!

Found Putin's Reddit account.

MUH RUSSIA COLLUSION!!!

How embarrassing.

If you're actually British, you have enough reasons to be embarrassed about your failing Island than anything we're doing State-side.

lol.. cry harder. Trump literally simping Russia because his idiotic Iran plan backfired. Art of the Deal indeed.

I have a feeling you're entire view of failure and success in the Iran conflict is based off of gasoline prices. Even if you won't admit it. This whole thing has highlighted how fragile the world's energy supply chains are. Which I must be one of the few people on reddit who went from not really liking the Iran war to actually thinking it was in America's best interest. Because lord knows if Iran aver got a nuke, (and maybe in several cases if they didn't) all they have to do is start shooting rockets at ship's in the strait to have the same exact effect. Regardless of the U.S.'s presence or not. So the U.S. is slowly starting to restore it's domestic production capabilities. Unfortunately Britain and many other European countries I don't think have the strength to do the same. And so forever you'll be beholden to foreign influence just by virtue of them being able to threaten shutting off a big chunk of your energy. Yet again the United States being the "bad guy" and doing something that will ultimately benefit the Europeans, and somewhat dragging them kicking and screaming along for the ride. It might cost us the midterms over here and even though it's unpopular now, I think on the other side of this a lot of people will realize the virtue of the effort to decapitate the Iranian "Death Cult" Regime they've got going on over there.

Absolutely stupid. Leave Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz!

THE STRAITS OPEN BABY!!! STOP READING FAKE NEWS

If it delivers lower gas prices fine by me. We need relief for truckers and farmers.

NOW SHUT DOWN THE STARLINKS FUELING THE STRIKES IN RUSSIA! And Russia can stop bombing Kiev. And then this ridiculous war can end

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1wwwg6h/mushoku_tensei_is_so_good/

Context: Mushoku Tensei aka Jobless Reincarnation, is a very popular anime/manga/light novel about a p*edophile reincarnating in a fantasy world as a baby. The narrative follows his life as he grow up into a young adult.

HIGHLIGHTS

I am a dude and consider myself very open minded, but this anime is disgusting man.

Maybe you’re not as open-minded as you thought

I know this is r/anime so what I'm about to say might be unpopular, but honestly I think it's ok to not be open-minded about p*dophilia

So people enjoying mushoku no tensei means they are open minded for p*dophilia is that where you're going with this 😅, or what do you mean exactly?

Means you have 0 respect for girl/women as people imo. Liking wish-fulfillment fantasies that involve harems, sexual harassment, perving on girls, is a big flag of being a loser

So everyone who has watched it in this thread and talking about it(those who have seen it) 'has 0 respect for girl/women as people in your opinion Liking wish-fulfillment fantasies that involve harems, sexual harassment, perving on girls, they are a big red flag and a loser' I got that correct?

Watching is one thing, liking and defending is another. I admit to have a bit more respects for people who at least recognize that the author is a sick pervert and Rudeus is also. I have more respect for people who drop it. But yes, people who call it the best anime ever are big losers that I wouldn’t want to interact with in real life. (30 more comments of these two arguing)

"First of all, yes I know that a LOT of people are turned off from MT, because of some questionable stuff" Grooming and p*dophilia are a little bit worse than “questionable”. Shit like this is why anime fans have a reputation, often times it’s well deserved.

there is no Grooming and p*dophilia you are inventing that in your head b/c someone on twitter told you too.

In the anime he did not. edit: dunno why I'm getting downvoted for literally telling the truth.

Is it a thing where it was in the LN but not the anime?

it was never in the light novel, its in the web novel which is non canon.

It's in redundancy

which is its own separate can of worms

Is redundancy not cannon?

never said it wasnt but its in a whole a different volume than the standard light novels and in redundancy its said he does it to a picture of her in a bikini not a webcam he installed

"Some questionable stuff" meaning glorified p*dophilia and child grooming.

I have a question that seems unrelated but is actually connected. Did you enjoy the first phase of mcu movies? So everything up to endgame?

Not particularly. Iron Man was decent.

So glorifying war profiteering is okay?

Half the point of the movie is that he restructured his company to give up on war profiteering my dude.

The movie is literally funded by the us military to glorify war and war profiteering

And? Why are we comparing this to p*dophilia?

Because its just as relevant to MT

"Questionable stuff" is an understatement for sure. As a woman it was rough watching the first part of season 1 because it gave me the creeps. Since I was watching with guy friends I powered thru and came to enjoy the show more the less creepy Rudeus got. The world and character building are amazing. The animation is crisp. And story is taking turns I didn't expect.

As a guy who read the original LN when it was being written and is watching the anime right now and thinks it's a great fantasy series - what do you mean when he gets less creepy? Rudeus never gets less creepy the man's a born creep through and through His love interests just age out of it being p*dophilia his actual behavior never uncreepifies at all, you just get used to it and stick around for the story and the worldbuilding

"His love interests just age out of it being p*dophilia his actual behavior never uncreepifies at all," "I want to have sex with my wives" vs "I want to _______ a 10 year old" is, in fact, a HUGE decrease in creepy. When's the last time he did something reprehensibly creepy in the anime?

"I want to have sex with my wives two of whom I groomed from childhood" Those relationships don't stop being gross because they get older.

How did he "groom" Roxy when she is A: older than him and B: served as his tutor, then left when he learned everything she had to teach, and only reunited later?

I didn't say anything about Roxy.

Weren't Slyphy and Eris his childhood friends? Is it weird to marry your childhood friends?

When you are a grown man and they were children, and you developed feelings for them when they were children, and hooked up with them when they were children, yes, it's weird. Weird is putting it very lightly.

Even ignoring all the p*dophilic stuff ... they buy a slave dude

and yet if you think about it for 2 seconds there is no moral failure in their buying and treatment of julie (a child slave bought by the MC). quite the opposite in fact.

"my child slave is actually happy, trust"

you’re so right, she would have been better off dying in a cage in the slave market than essentially being adopted to live a normal life.

those are definitely the only two options the writer had available to him. you are very smart.

enlighten me then, what about the julie plotline is bad writing? edit: or makes it a moral failure on rudeus’ part?

Truly one of the best stories ever told in anime/manga/LN. The writing gives breathing space for the characters to exist in the setting that was created, in a very organic way. Everything that is happening feels as natural progression of the world. Only One Piece for me has its world progress in a similar manner. Many anime fans are unfortunately immature and cannot accept the fact that you don't have to project yourself to the cast of any show. There are so many shows out there that people murder others, sell other people, do or sell drugs, and many other hideous things. I didnt see people criticizing Breaking Bad about focusing on creating and selling narcotics to broken and vulnerable people. It is amazing that you need a tv show to tell you whats good and bad. These people just come off as pretentious for me.

Because Breaking Bad doesn’t paint its lead as a hero. It’s literally about how he becomes a villain and dies. Rudeus is not a villain lol, he’s treated as a hero and ultimately gets a heroes ending. What a cool dude, the grooming p*dophile. How inspiring. Jesus Christ. Best story ever? lol

everything you just said was wrong, hes not treated as the hero in fact the real hero literally kills him in the first season of the show. and he never even in the dark timeline dates or has relations with anyone whos physically younger than him, people make the claim his "mental age" is what matters which is just dumb. tanya degurechaff is a grown ass man in a little girls body does mental age still matter?

The fact that you have to add “physical” already puts you on the losing side. He’s an adult p*dophile in a kids body who gets to sexually lust after children because he’s “technically a child cause other people don’t know”. A good well written story would have explored that and how he doesn’t give in to his desires and uses a fresh start to become a better person. Not sexually assaulting children and grooming them. Also Rudeus doesn’t get a good ending…? How is married to three women he lusted after the entire time, after saving the world and dying an old hero not a good ending?

if rudy is a pdf why in the dark timeline did he only go after adult women? why not build a harem of loli sex slaves with all of this great power and wealth? if hes such a pdf explain why. he is physically a child in the first episode it even says he has the mind of a child b/c he can learn things faster, why does he never date anyone younger than him physically? brain of a child, body of a child and memories of a past life = can never date anyone your own age untill you are 18. or is roxy ok when he was a child? where this line you are drawing here? yes he gets a good ending, after he literally gets a bad ending and has to kill himself to save himself from it

Because the author can’t write a good story? If he’s not a pdo explain to me why multiple retellings of his past life in different forms have him jerking off to photos of his underage niece or loliporn? He also specifically has the memories of his previous life. He does not have the mind of a child, he has a physically healthier mind which means he can learn new things faster. He’s very much an adult person in a child’s body. That’s the entire reason you keep having to use physically all the time. Like cmon dude. He’s an adult man that wants to fuck a child and tries to groom her and rpe her.

TIL p*dophile tendencies by the MC is only considered questionable

"questionable" is when you filme your underaged Nice on the showed then jerk off to It. Literal p*dophile jerking of to literal CP and people Will call his actions "questionable".

That’s not in the anime, so why do people keep bringing that up in anime discussions?

Because it is in the manga. It is the author’s intent for the character. Though it isn’t shown in the anime, that is the MC.

The manga is not the source material

Yeah its in the LN for sure, which is the source material.

the LN volume 1 changes it to l*li stuff, only the web novel (basically drafts) has the niece stuff

Not true, the LN explicitly confirms (and retcons the WN, you could say) that Rudeus stole his brother’s camera to jerk off to pictures of his underage niece in a bathing suit (Redundancy Vol 3, canon to main series)

Yeah fr. I keep seeing praise for the show but bro. I heard the series literally had a so-called erectile dysfunction arc. In the context of some old dude being in a kids body its a huge turn off and impossible to look past for me. Never watched it but wonder if the production value is what people fall for

Bro judges show that he never watched it smh. Western ENGLISH fans are so finished smh. Fell for stupid woke propaganda everywhere

I just got no interest in an Mc like that. Crazy to glorify it. Anime community has always been weird and I say that as a fan for 20+ years.

"crazy to glorify it" Bro thinks every single one of over 8 billion population in the world has to be the same as him. Such a cutie Time to find a job and touch some grass

I do actually think all 8 billion shouldn't be p*dophilic, yeah. Tho I know thats unfortunately not the case. Crazy hill to die on bro good luck arguing that one irl

And I do think none of the 8 billion is on isekai trip to a fictional fantasy world either. How delusional this is 🤣🤣

Griffith is a lot worse than Rudeus, but I'm pretty sure People like him more as a character than Rudeus, or maybe I'm wrong. Either way Berserk and MT are goats, and both Griffith and Rudeus are greatly written characters

Griffith is the villain tho. And nobody defends his behavior

Nobody defends Rudeus or Griffiths behavior, still good characters.

I mean, it's all over this thread. For most people, p*dophilia is not a redeemable quality. Even if Rudeus 'grows' , it's still going to hang over the entire show. He's your protagonist ! And he's written as a heroic one. That's gonna put people off

Neither is murder but we have people that Stan characters that do it and think they’re worth supporting. A character can be well written and make your stomach churn, both things can be true.

So you want to tell me the story needs all the p*do, sexual abuse etc. to be good ? and its okay for people to defend Rudeus for it ? Weird argumentation there buddy maybe you ought the one to touch some grass. Also are you the arbiter of reddit or why do you want to dictate what I can and cant do and diagnose me because you cant fathom someone dislikes the thing you so desperately seem to idolize Always creeps me out how people defend rudeus and the tones of this anime yikes.

Do you like game of thrones, american horror story, pretty little liars, the handmaids tale, mad men, Lolita, bojack horseman, juno, gosip girl etc...? I find it weird people go so hard into this show, but dismiss other shows with the exact same levels of complications. There is tons of media with these themes. There isn't anything new here. There are so many shows that dismiss cheating, r*pe, incest, and grooming. I guess i don't understand why this specific show is where people have drawn the line. Edit: add twilight and True blood to the list. Some clear grooming.

Do you think that enjoying a show that involves awful actions presented in a negative light is the same as defending a paedophilic character that is glorified and rewarded for their behaviour? Genuine question, because it would be absolutely baffling to compare these two pieces of media in any meaningful way when you're coming from the position of Rudeus being a good main character. Game of Thrones fans aren't burrowing out of the woodwork to shout at everyone that Cersei has done no wrong, and actually it would be fine if she fucked some kids. Edit: Never mind, no point arguing with someone who goes back and edits their comments to an unrecognisable degree. Previously he compared MT exclusively to Game of Thrones and didn't mention themes or dismissal of negative actions - the discussion is on Rudeus as a character. Not worth the effort to keep up with someone who swaps out their opinions every 5 minutes.

I literally don't see a single comment here claiming Rudeus is perfect. What are you talking about? A very clear strawman argument. I think it's baffling you're defending Cersei. You must want to fuck your sibling huh? ...Oh wow, it's super easy to just spout bullshit! I also mentioned like 5+ shows, and it's not like that is the definitive list. Way to completely miss the point. Complicated characters are everywhere. If you don't like Rudeus whatever, but acting like this is some unforgivable thing never before seen is just so fucking dumb.

"good main character" equals "perfect"? Yup, clearly "super easy to spout bullshit." I'd honestly be sad if this isn't generic AI ragebait.

Lol it would be convient if i was AI. I'm literally responding to your position. Way to ignore the rest of my arugement because that's inconvenient. For example (as mentioned elsewhere here), True Blood and Twilight are both grooming. Where's your pitchfork for those? Teenage girls are literally obessed with those, and there's far more of an audience then MT. I just went with the default username. That doesn't make me AI.

To respond to my position, it would have to actually reference my position. You're responding to your own made-up arguments.

Wow classic ai.

AI Taking over the fair

At a state fair is where I realized nobody really cares if people use ai or not. Like 95% of people. And I was pointing it out to people and they were just like meh. So I stopped trying to tell people about it.

- I don’t mean to be rude but no shit. The people who usually care are just chronically online or on websites like this one. People you meet in your day-to-day really don’t give a shit.

-- the only people who care anymore are artists. it makes me sad everyone stopped sticking up for them

--- I am an artist and I don't care

---- Then you’re not.

----- I'm sure that I can draw better than you

------ Probably. I don’t draw.

------- Stfu then

-- They should care though

--- Why should we care about people using AI to make stupid fair posters to advertise overpriced consumer crap.

---- Theoretically, because it’s all contributing to the entire mess as a whole. The energy consumed to make the posters, the data centers being built to keep AI going and the way it impacts the environment, the money to fund all this, the impending doom, etc.

Lmao imagine being the guy at a state fair annoying the shit out of everyone by pointing out all the ai while everyone else is trying to have a good time. Literally what is anyone supposed to do about it then and there? People are trying to shut their brain off and have some fun. Maybe you should learn to do the same. Turn off the savior complex for a night and try to just enjoy yourself. This shit sounds absolutely insufferable dude.

-- That’s all people ever do, shut their brain off trying to have fun. I’m not saying go around a fair and tell everyone (well, I’m not saying NOT to lol but I wouldn’t), but this is some gun control shit to me. “Shut up about it because I’m trying to live in my fantasy that nothings wrong, and if something happens that I can’t ignore then I’ll just say it’s not the right time to bring it up.”

--- Do you genuinely think that harassing strangers trying to enjoy a nice evening with their families is going to do anything to help your cause?

---- Nope. I’m just making a larger comment that many of these “AI isn’t going anywhere so just get used to it and stop annoying me” people have basically already made up their minds to put their heads in the sand no matter what time or occasion, the same way vehemently anti-gun reform people have done over the years. Just my individual observation here.

----- Ok well I would feel equally annoyed by someone who’s pro ai or anti gun or pro gun or whatever other thing they want to shove in my face. You try to do it while I’m spending what little time I get with my family, I’m gonna tell you to fuck off 🤷‍♀️

All of these are objectively better than the lame ass 480p pictures of a hamburger and fries they had before. Unless the owners pay a designer, the average AI pic is better than whatever they come up with.

- Do you not appreciate the crude charm of a low resolution picture of actual food over a thoughtless, clinical AI image that isn't even close to representing the food they sell and also looks horrifc when you look close enough. The AI designs always look like AI. Never like someone actually designed them

-- Are you really going to state fairs to critique their sinage?

--- If it's AI then yes

---- Why do you care what a Fair vendor does to save some of the little money they make? The fair does not provide or pay for those signs.

If some random dude walked up to me at a fair, to tell me the sign at the food truck was made with AI, i would look at him like a lunatic wearing a tin foil hat. Nobody in the real world cares what made the sign lmfao.

- But its not a conspiracy, the AI bullshit is right in your face. And while it may be a very complicated subject, child labor supporting our modern lifestyles is distrurbing. Maybe if it was your kids you might be bothered?

-- So you want random people walking up to you and telling you about the child labor that goes into your clothes and every other random thing that could be "bad"? That's wild. I know Reddit is anti-social, but come on. Surely you dont believe thats a normal interaction. And if for some reason you do, please stay away from my kids and I at the fair.

--- Ofcourse im not advocating random people running around getting into others faces and going on unwarranted rants. But I think it’s conversations that people should be having. If that occasionally includes a stranger that you’ve already been conversing with I dont think its a terrible thing.

graphics at the fair have been crap since the dawn of the printing press - who cares.

- Nah, they used to be crap in a cool and interesting way.

-- Luddite nostalgia is a helluva drug.

--- Anti's are the "luddites", yet it's the pros who need a machine to help them write a "heartfelt" message to their mom, create a basic flyer, or have one read a book to their son. But, I guess I'd rather be a luddite than lose what makes me human

---- Strawmanning is a helluva drug. "If you support AI, you don't love your mother!" lol

----- More like you don't love your loved ones if you have to rely on an AI tool to do the filling in for your emotional intelligence, empathy, and compassion vs. using those skills that should be inately built into you as a human who has basic love and care for others

What even is a fraternity anyway?

I've not only never been in a frat or witnessed a frat event, I've never known anyone who was (or at least not well enough to be aware of it). I therefore have no idea which characterization of them being thrown around is accurate.

- As someone who was in one, honestly they are trash. 90% of them are obscenely filthy and even the best behaved ones promote and glorify excessive drinking.

Is freedom of association a big deal?

Are college students not adults? Universities should have no say in who their students associate with, and how they associate with them. This infantilisation of young adults needs to stop. They are perfectly capable of making their own informed decisions, and don’t need the university (or anyone else for that matter) meddling in their lives. Yes, frats are hotbeds for some really shocking sexual assault cases, but so is literally every space with young people and alcohol in it. Are we going to ban bars and clubs next?

- Should universities have a say in who the university associates with?

— No? Not really? If you pass the entrance exam and aren’t a criminal, why’s it the university’s problem that you’re a member of a fraternity?You could be the world’s most virulent racist and the university does not have grounds to expel you unless you hurt a student or fail too many classes. Who gets to set the standard regarding the moral character you need to be a university student?

- Are you going to be perfectly happy with an association of “X university students for Hamas” or “X university chapter of National Socialist party of America” then?

— Yes

But have you considered that they’re voters?

What if we just… got rid of them. Genuinely what purpose do they serve.

- I don't think getting rid of them would be good for the polls at all. College educated men are on average some of the most democrat-leaning men, and removing frats would definitely alienate them.

— If I have to speculate who makes up the 15% that votes Republicans in college towns, frats would definitely be up there, above business students. They are not the liberal segment of college men at all

— Fuck the polls, they're rape hubs and everyone knows it.

Like I said, the mods are using the ban hammer with gusto so a lot of the savory bits are already gone. The thread is still young though so there’ll be more.

The Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan, a former US Army major, executed a mass shooting at Fort Hood on Nov 5, 2009, killing 13 and wounding 32 others.

HIGHLIGHTS

So very pro-life of you.

He took 13 lives and injured 35 more. I think i’m allowed to celebrate his death.

Trump caused millions of excess COVID deaths, through his insane policies. Are you going to celebrate his death?

Anthony fauchi was responsible for covid, didnt you guys pardon him and let him plead the 5th until he got away scot free?

"plead the 5th" ...in a Republican-controlled courtroom, r*tard? Cope and seethe, snowflake.

It was controlled from day 1. What's your point? I'm against genocidal crimes against humanity and he was in fact the one who did the gain of function research after being denied multiple times in America, thats why the lab was moved to wuhan but don't wanna mention any of that no?

Trump was a never ending line of lies and stupidity. The only good thing he did was getting the vaccine to the public quickly

Trump didn't do gain of function research, fauchi did and every country had very strict terms before being given the covid shots - one being a 80 year clause where you cannot sue them for covid no matter what

That's awesome

Why

Why not?

Because getting pleasure out of observing live death is ghoulish and the government shouldn't facilitate morbid voyeurism for weirdos like a second rate LiveLeak making their own content.

Don’t be so dramatic people have been killing each other for entertainment for thousands of years. Realistically speaking the amount of time we haven’t had stuff like this is way shorter than the amount of time we’ve had it.

That reasoning doesn’t make it right/evolved/socially/politically/or otherwise acceptable.

Veterans should get the help that they need except you

Ok, but what if he was a nonwhite former illegal immigrant trans veteran?

You mean a snowflakes boogeyman?

I mean someone who checks all the marginalized boxes but disagrees with you.

Ill try to help them before the guys they are supporting send me and them to a random country i guess.

Heck yeah. Because they check the marginalized boxes.

Do you think you're doing something clever right now?

Can't wait to see how they botch this one.

I hope he suffers worse than his 50 victims.

And what about the innocent that they (us military) inflict pain and death on? What about those people.

Stop with all the whatabouts. Good lord i can’t believe everyone is sympathizing with an actual terrorist.

They sympathized with the woman who killed her children, they sympathized with the woman whose execution was botched without even considering the irony of it after what she had done to that poor girl she killed. They’ll sympathize with anyone who isn’t considered a part of the mainstream world they think exists. Anyone who is a criminal is innocent (unless they go against the common narrative). Women are to be believed and are innocent or were forced to commit horrible crimes. Islamic terrorists are just reacting to western imperialism! Every black male shot and killed by police were unarmed and/or cooperative and not a threat. Notice how we haven’t heard about a single mass shooting or “innocent black male” shot by police unjustly in months and in the latter case, i would argue years! They just regurgitate this week’s line. Today, it’s botched executions and the Cornell case. Tomorrow, it’ll be something else.

Don’t forget the celebrations of charlie kirk. The hypocrisy of the “tolerant left” is astounding.

They did it with that, body shaming people, slight tinges of racial rhetoric (see the various black dedicated subs), it’s endless contradictions. It’s very boring.

Wonder if the same punishment will be applied for the person who gave the go-ahead to bomb a school full of Iranian children?

So Claude?

Firstly, the AI excuse is bullshit. Secondly, Claude was banned at the time, so ChatGPT

So Sam Altman in front of a firing squad?

Don’t tempt me with a good time

Sounds great until you actually see it. Civilized countries don’t do that for a reason.

Also, it's not great for the firing squad, either. Already weak morale about to get another boost to the gutter.

Even the nazi death squads couldnt handle it mentally. They give some of the people in firing squads blanks so they cannot definitely says who killed them, so people can cope with killing a person

Wow really!?! That’s wild!!! Almost like the “nazis” were human beings and most human beings don’t like killing, regardless of indoctrination and brainwashing. Crazy, right?

Suspicious quotes there lol Of course they were human beings. The problem is they bought into an ideology that deep down isn't real and they don't believe, yet they decided to keep acting accordingly anyways. Reminds of that reddit story where the guy spent too much time on porn and picked up a scat fetish. He finally hired a prostitute to help him and he was so excited to finally live out his fantasy and when she did it, the reality literally hit him in the face. Because it was just that, a fantasy.

Yeah, I am aware of this. The only thing I was pointing out is that it makes me roll my eyes when people say “even the nazis thought this was bad” or “even the nazis didn’t do this” as if they are some monolithic, alien race outside of homo sapien thoughts, actions and feelings. it’s idiotic.

Just say you like Nazis bro

I can’t like something that doesn’t exist

Disgusting comment

Your toxic empathy is what is disgusting

"Toxic empathy" Oh shut up.

I mean, you're the one crying over how others feel, sounds pretty soft.
