    I wish people would just leave her alone already ffs

    I wrote this in a comment but I'll say it here too:

    I watched a video essay recently called the drama slop to school shooter pipeline and basically the thesis was that drama content when consumed regularly can gradually chip away at a persons empathy and become a gateway to hateful stuff. A great example of the gateway is notable transphobe turkish thomas. I highly reccomend everyone here in the comments check it out because watching it made me realize we really shouldn't have normalized what are essentially independent tabloids making a killing online starting pointless harassment campaigns for entertainment value. Once you realize one of the most hateful websites on the clear web is a gossip forum it becomes really obvious that the entire online drama circut has a far right influence.

    As a longtime fan it really sucks to see this play out... I wish there just wasn't a monetary incentive to make baseless allegations online and drag out the inevitable conflict that ensues...

  9. I've watched Dirty Dancing once, when I was 11 or 12 and ever since was convinced it was just a cheesy love film. Recently I see more and more women talk about it and I completely forgot the storyline being kicked of by an unwanted pregnancy. Guess I have to watch again.

    I love, love, love this channel so much. Go check it out if you like discussions about the implications of pop culture.

    LLM bots can generate a song for you. But they cannot feel what they are singing.

    A #VideoEssay that looks into the phenomenon of not just humans forming relationships with chatbots. But also having an alternative to dealing with messy human relationships. And a possible threat of losing the interpersonal skills that come from them.

    IMPORTANT NOTE IN 🧵

  13. 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

  14. 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: 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
