I can almost make their noses touch, but that means perceiving 4 realities at once, which is just too much to handle.

Also, the bible says a woman’s head should never be near a woman’s ass unless they’re really, really good friends.

Oh, the first one is cross-eye 3D!

Wait, fuck, that hurts…

Goodbye, Alan Wake. We’ll miss you.

Oh, hold on, I am absolutely not against bullying these people mercilessly. I’m probably meaner to them than you are, if I were just guessing.

The thing that I don’t want people to do is treat a cultural critique as if it were a personal one. A lot of the pushback that you’ll see from the fragile male types is just manifested insecurity over the fact that they think they can’t go up and talk to a woman without her splashing her drink in their face. The critique is just describing the currents of the ocean, but they will treat it as if it were a personal attack because what you’re really arguing with is their hurt feelings.

If you’re black and presently in confederate country, maybe a little?

The sweeping conclusion, by the way, is “it seems risky,” and I know you know that it is.

Oh, race! I love race.

Do you think it would be wrong for a black person to be a little bit nervous about wandering through some small, predominantly white town in middle America? 'Cause I’m gonna be real, I think that’s probably a valid fear.

Okay, I feel like this needs to be addressed as well: this, like, public self-flagellation is not useful either. I have never once been ashamed of being a man.

The problem that men have here is cultural and systemic, it’s expressed with statistics and social norms—it really, really has nothing to do with you or me specifically.

If you’ve already done the work of recognizing that negging women is extremely rude, then you’ve already improved as a person. There’s no reason to be self-loathing about it.

I’m friends with several women: no it doesn’t, and no it doesn’t.

Having your shit together means your room doesn’t have a pile of garbage building on the floor. It means you’ve hung up 1 piece of art to make your white walls more interesting. It means your carpet was washed within the last 3 months.

Thank you for explaining. :)

What are you even upset about? Do you even know?

So, how does choosing a bear with a honeypot make men look bad?

meant to deliberately portray all men as dangerous

If this were true, wouldn’t it be dead simple for women to just pick the man? It’s interesting that a lot don’t, right?

Healthcare workers were prioritized for vaccination, locking them into the narrative early. Once you’ve taken the shot and pushed it on patients, your identity – professional judgment, ethics, self-image as a healer – hinges on its safety. The cost of admitting error becomes psychologically prohibitive.

What the fuck did you link.

[edit] So, if you follow links to Joshua Stylman’s substack, you can find this:

Maybe it’s my algorithm, but the content was flooded with an unusual amount of vitriol directed at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as HHS Secretary. […] talking heads across networks uniformly labeling him a “conspiracy theorist” and “danger to public health,” never once addressing his actual positions.

Honestly, I don’t even know why I’m wasting my time on this. It’s just funny, I guess.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, man.

4chan is (or was; relevancy) a place that fosters extremely negative and nihilistic views about the world and the self because it makes people much easier fruit to pluck for conservative aims. This includes incels. I have no idea what you’re upset with me about.

I don’t understand what you’re saying. “Substantial parts of internet culture started on 4chan and bled outwards,” yes, this is what I’m suggesting.

I’m adding this not as a disagreement, I’m certainly not anti hot people, but I think it needs to be said more often:

I play as a girl in video games sometimes, not because I want to be one, not because they’re fun to stare at, I just think that being cute can be fun.

You need to consider the way you look in public. Asking for a source is not the problem.

I cannot tell the difference between your contempt for people who are stupider than you and someone else intentionally sealioning or JAQing for the purpose of distracting or deflecting criticism away from the global pedophile ring. Your aggression is what I take issue with.

Culturally? They absolutely did.

But the internet is mass media.

Billionaires that want to influence people find them in places like Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and yes, 4chan.

The fact that 4chan is a wild west, rules-less zone is why nazis congregate there the most (or used to, Twitter is basically rules-less now), and that’s why it was able to operate as a cultural think-tank.

I take it back, I don’t think you’re defensive, I think you just find the idea of funny green frogs unraveling democracy too embarassing to consider.

A cop-out from what?
