CW: Sexualizing Men in Games
This video offers a lot of context as to why men are not sexualized in games as much as women are. I mean some of it is intuitive because of the audience which is pandered to; it is assumed that most players are straight men that want to see women in sexualized, vulnerable, and suggestive situations/poses.
Most gaming leading men are depicted in a way that is more aspirational than sexualized. As straight men don't desire other men carnally, so they only see the homosocial aspect of other men.
Some men make MASSIVE assumptions about what women find attractive and fumble the bag with garbage hot takes when the poll results do not agree with their "this is what women want" train of thought.
As they are confused that women are individuals that have different preferences and don't just act/think like some men believe they will. OMG the amount of dudes that are confused about women not minding or finding dad bods hot...It could power all the electronic devices on Earth for centuries! Like, bros don't assume the desires of women (as you are men, you should ask questions and want genuine answers only).
This is honestly a fascinating video that has me in a stranglehold. I hope to improve my ability to discuss the topic

for #Romanian folx who want to dive into philosophy in a way that ties it in with the current events unfolding in the world, i highly recommend the short videos in Andrei Nae's new YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrei_nae/videos
they're succinct, funny, not over-produced, but rather retain a DIY aesthetic and the nuggets of philosophical thought are approachable

Another timely banger of a #video from @bennjordan : https://youtu.be/UMIwNiwQewQ?si=KHFgQ-Mc3xi1BkT6 talking about the dangers of #cloud connected #surveillance devices. As I've built out my #homeassistant setup I've tried to avoid cloud dependencies but still there are a few I had to compromise on. I certainly won't have anything recording video inside my household. #youtube #videoessay

Another great video essay by Lindsay Ellis, this time about Disney's "Aladdin" (1992), a somewhat obscure movie by Richard Williams called "The Thief and the Cobbler" that they may or may not have ripped off, along with some background on Howard Ashman, who helped make movies like The Little Mermaid, The Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin into what they are.

Did Disney Really Steal Aladdin?
Lindsey Ellis takes on the claim that Disney stole elements, if not, most of The Thief and The Cobbler to make Aladdin. She presents a story more complicated than simple theft. Brings to focus important players not often mentioned. And timelines that show something else. A story of a talented animator, that was his own enemy. A studio(s?) with no need to be that evil.

And what are the incentives driving their behavior?". Which he does by contrasting it with the important legacy of Roger Corman.

This video essay by researcher veritas et caritas has been edited and re-uploaded.
> The year is 2014, and Cevin Soling, also known by his pseudonym Malcolm Jarry, one of the leaders of The Satanic Temple in the US, is visiting the tiny Pacific island of Tanna, part of the nation of Vanuatu. According to Soling, “Apparently there was a prophecy I would come”. This video tells the strange story of how Cevin Soling arrived in Vanuatu, convinced that he was the messiah of a cargo cult.
