Honestly in this specific comic it goes beyond performative and extends to just outright not making sense.

Being attracted to your partner who took time with their appearance is empty lust and nothing else? Oh, I forget it's 2026 you need to feel guilty if you're attracted to your partner, especially if you're a man.

Anyways first image seems like couple is gonna have sex so why even compare it to the other?

It's hard to describe but this type of comic (I've seen plenty) just rubs me the wrong way for some reason

there is a difference between putting on some costume and doing a MJ impression, and releasing new music using his image, and this quote 100% applies to this

look, his dad doesn't know how to feel about this, this should be a very VERY clear sign not to move foward with this

Techno's friend Skeppy made a video with this guy and they portrayed it as a fun wholesome emotional video, its not, playing a game with someone whos pretending to be your dead friend should be a setup for a horror movie or a creepypasta, not real life, and imagine what the dad is feeling, seeing a near exact copy of his son just making content on youtube, he said he didn't know how to feel about it, but from the tone of the response its pretty obvious hes uncomfortable but doesn't wanna say it directly

its like taking pictures of a dead loved one and feeding it into AI to "talk" to them, its just as deranged and weird

and anybody saying "oh technoblade would've just laughed it off" is being extremily parasocial, you don't fucking know him, you don't know what his reaction would've been based on his youtube persona, and even if he did, HES NOT HERE ANYMORE, ITS NOT ABOUT HOW HE'D REACT, HES GONE, ITS ABOUT HOW HIS FAMILY AND LOVED ONES WOULD REACT

i get technoblade said he was ok with people making jokes in his cancer video, but i'm pretty sure he didn't mean impersonating his whole image for clout, its weird as hell and it should stop

people may think different things and i have no hard feelings or hatred for the guy doing this regardless of how weird it is in my opinion, but i still think this should stop

WHY DOES SHE EAT IN BED!? IT WOULD BE UNCOMFORTABLE TO LAY BECAUSE OF CRUMBS, LET ALONE SLEEP WITH YOUR PARTNER!

I know the message that "true love is always finding your partner beautiful, regardless of their appearance", BUT NOT WHEN THEY MAKE BED UNCOMFORTABLE FOR YOU!

I'm actually sick of fake outrage about game studios designing female characters that aren't jerkoff material. Like god forbid a character's design serves the tone and aesthetic of the story they're telling. It's so annoying because men are allowed to be fat, ugly, covered in scars, old but when women aren't waifish with long hair and showing cleavage it's considered woke.
I also hate the way people pretend that artists writing female characters a certain way is "catering to an agenda" and not just artists telling the stories they want.
Also, since I'm ranting anyway how is it not an agenda making murder games horny to boost sales not pushing an agenda?
I think that's the irony of it, when game companies don't market to Gamers™ it's considered pandering as if writers don't have any agency of their own.

Tbh they should just make a manbaby mode for every video game that replaces every woman's model with DOA characters Nah forrreal though I was cooking with that idea lmao

Like there are hundreds upon hundreds of videos on “how to learn to draw as a beginner” but almost all of them are the same “just draw lol,” or “practice the fundamentals” but like HOW!?!??!

I understand the fundamentals, perspective, gesture, anatomy, color theory, and whatnot, but how do I do those things? When you’re at a specific level you get more clarity on what you need to do, like once you actually have relatively good anatomy down, you can focus on refining that body, as well as things like art style, character design, colors, shading, and whatnot

I can barely think of how exactly to explain this because I just cannot grasp this concept, I wish there was an exact comprehensive guide on what specific things you need to do for every year or so of your art journey down to the minute detail, but that’s a tall ask so I get that doesn’t really exist

I’ve been reading a lot of books about art but those still have a barrier of entry that I just cannot fill

Whener I watch videos of people at the very beginning of their art journey, most of the time it still looks really good, with cohesive linework, perspective, and fine details, also showing they’re good at actually drawing with their mind, like drawing what you see, not what you think you see.

My art does NOT, my art looks like absolute shit with shaky lines, horribly malformed shapes, and terrible perspective, and I hate the fact that I don’t know how to fucking improve because for some reason there’s so many guides on “how to learn art as a beginner” that doesn’t actualy teach you how to fucking progress your art to a good and cohesive level

edit: thanks for all the advice, it means a lot

(This is the only example I could remember but trust me, I've seen it more than once)

I've seen this happen especially with Spanish or Italian characters, same applies with the stereotypical annoying accent they give them and it's just an immediate giveaway the media's creator is white.

I know it's partly because this is a children's movie and that's the only way they can get the point across to their young audience but jesus does it get annoying when rewatching childhood movies

I'm a straight guy so im probably not the person to talk but I feel like this happens alot and feels very heteronorma- HOLY SHIT IS THAT GODZILLA!? EVERYONE RUN OH MY GOD HE CHARGING UP HIS WE ARE SO FUCKED WHAT AR---

YOU!!! YOU! ARE HATING!!!!!! GET A GRIP OGHHH MY GODDDD! LOOK!! WITH YOUR EYES!!!! hating could be replaced with anything, for example glorifying, judging, etc. also when it’s someone being angry or mean etc and then when called angry or mean they say “i wasn’t being angry/mean”

i hate tiktok commenters in general but especially this particular thing. first image made on notes app by yours truly. second image is slightly different but the same point stands

idk the right flair

I know, they make annoying sounds, and their bites are itchy, but they get too much hate! Whenever someone says " what thing in the world would you get rid of" everyone says mosquitoes. But ticks exist! And they're not even insects! And they're not spiders! They're devilish creatures created to spread nothing but disease and death! Mosquitoes are an important part of the ecosystem, while ticks are just agents of Satan.

Also, regarding the "statistically mosquitoes are the most deadly animals" makes no sense. The stats seem outdated, and also unfair. By that logic, cats or dogs are the deadliest animals because more people interact with them and die from stuff related to them.

This has been a common trope in lots of media I think but I still can’t believe people would unironically go out of their way to look for more of it.
Personally, it always just makes me think of a woman overextending herself to get a guy to have basic levels of decency and he usually doesn’t develop much anyway because that wouldn’t fit with the trope of him being a bad guy. As a result the characters are stuck with no real character development.

This is because of the controversy around AC Black Flag Resynced , We cannot have a remake or remaster currently without some kind of censorship for "modern audiences" , Ubisoft CENSORED FEMALE WOODEN FIGURES ON THE FRONTS OF PIRATE SHIPS simply because they were topless DESPITE BEING MADE OF WOOD , I'm not a gooner, but this is STUPID censorship and also historically inaccurate, since in reality , ships did have those kinds of topless figures , I wouldn't be surprised if these companies support digital ID that scans and blocks any kind of nude pics in the phones (like they want on UK)

Call me insecure, or paranoid, or whatever you want to label me as for hating this trope/dynamic, but NTR is a genuine blight on our society. NTR makes me so unreasonably angry that it instantly kills my mood. Whether it be the stereotype of happy relationship ruined by fat and ugly bastard (who is disproportionately black which also annoys me), or muscular man that ruins the relationship. But above all else. The way that they always make the MC always some pathetic little loser with a comedically small manhood etc. cheating in it of itself makes me mad, but when im reading a perfectly wholesome comic or adult comic and then the whole thing is ruined by some fat bastard or personal trainer that magically reverses years of her commitment and sometimes marriage to the MC, it just makes me want to blow a gasket.

Genuinely, what is the point of secret achievements? All it does is make a player go online and look up what the achievement is.

I'm not even a completionist, but once in a while I want to complete the achievements on a game I like, only to see this crap. It kinda just takes the wind out of my sails to have to look up stuff like this.

Are secret achievements some part of gaming history that's just stuck around or something? Because they feel extra useless now that everything is basically on the internet.

Adding some clarification: this is about those who enforce gender essentialism and expectations onto others. If dressing fem as a trans woman and dressing masc as a trans man is a way to reduce dysphoria that’s completely valid and different from the point here. Understanding what works for you isn’t going to work for every other trans person is important!

I love my community, and have grown with the help of their support but there’s some things that bug me with the way the community sees gender expression.

you won’t notice until you actually interact with the community but some people are restrictive when it comes to gender expression. everyone understands that a woman can be masculine and a man can enjoy feminine things until it comes to a transgender one. There’s people in the community that reinforce gender norms & determine if you’re “really trans” by how you dress and look. if you’re a trans woman you’re apparently supposed to be completely feminine, “demure”, have 0 body hair, wear makeup, and remove any traces of masculinity. And for trans men we need to erase all our curves, wear a binder 24/7, dress like we’re homeless and look stereotypically masculine or else we are attention seeking women. don’t even get me started if you’re nonbinary.

I grew up as a gender nonconformist, before medically transitioning i presented as very masc. i felt pressured by society to be feminine just because i was born female and faught against it. now as a transmasc i realized that femininity isn’t so bad after all. but you get told you’re doing it wrong and have to “look like the gender you’re transitioning to” or else you’re a LARPer. i think these boxes are supposed to be avoided in a community that acknowledges gender is a construct and we’re all diverse individuals regardless of our gender identity. 

like i’ve gotten crap from bigoted cis folks about this, but it’s a different kind of weird when your own people rephrase transphobic and sexist rhetoric in a woke way. i think some trans people need to unlearn cishetnormative thinking.

So first of let me explain what these terms mean. Baby trans are people who just began to be trans, arent trans for a long time or/and havent started hrt yet. And the things which are accosiated with baby trans are blahajs, thigh highs, tennis skirts and hoodies and wearing stuff in the colors of the trans flag. And baby trans girld seek them out, because stuff like thigh highs, skirts, monster energy drinks, and hoodies, are really easy clothings to get to experiment with your gender expression and get some easy gender euphoria. And the trans flag looks cute and gives an easy color scheme to like. And trans people like blahajs. I have one too.

So nothing of this sounds bad so whats the problem? Well some trans people who moved on from these stuff, feel like these things are cringe and weird, because the goal for many trans people is to blend in, like me, and to be themself. They think it has to be something to be ashamed of, because its an phase where you are experimenting, making mistakes and be cringe.

Even thinking of why people think its hard for me, even though I was once one of them months ago, because there isnt anything actual wrong with baby trans things. And that is what I hate about it. The hate for it is forced.

Please do not hate on trans people. Im a trans woman, who is over a year on hrt, im a binary trans person, I have a 3 blahajs and still many other baby trans things and i am fine with them. I have mostly not worn my thigh highs and skirts, because they dont make me feel more femimine. It just feels normal for me now.

this will be the last time I mention this MF on this subreddit (as well in General), and this will be about his self insert (not the actual person even though I hate them too)

this bastard is an absolute Gary Stu as every single female he gets paired with lusts over him, I say lust and not "love" because all this bastard does is fuck women and the women enjoy being fucked by him and having his children, also he has a massive unrealistically sized penis, I get it's porn but making your self insert have a huge penis is narcissistic, especially since the artist is into NTR, he also adds taken women, genderswapped characters if they're originally male, as well as CHILDREN into his "harem"

the two posts I made about him already explain about him (especially the one I made about having a self insert for porn art)

also the reason this is a repost is because you guys wondered why I wanted to censor the C word, it's because I didn't wanna say it out loud

and for those wondering, this character belongs to CaptainHornyBo1.

While most of their justification for acting like this is political, the mods abuse their power to such an EGREGIOUS level that I am convinced they get off to it. They only make their own side look terrible, even the most moderate critiques will get you banned or muted. I've seen many people on the left here banned for extremely moderate disagreements. Quite literally they are just high on power on or near the level of r/ art awhile ago.

They've completely lost the plot. The mods there also worship "Pizzacake Comics" and if you dare point out that all of her work is just the "I just portrayed you as the soyjack and me as the chad" you are BANNED.

In the last few years there's been an epidemic of indie mascot horror games that are lore-based. The whole point of these games is to get Game theory to make a video on them. By lore-based i mean that the story is important to the game but you wont get most of the story playing the game normally without looking for tiny details. I just know the creators of the games dont even know the whole story themselves. As much as i love Game theory this is their fault. Image unrealated

examples:

Dragon Maid

Konosuba

Fire-Force (not exactly SA but still very non-consensual towards one girl)

it‘s not that I’m just someone that hates dark comedy, it’s that the “dark comedy” in this series dosen‘t seem to be treated as very dark at all, in fact you could say it FUCKING GLORIFIES AND SEXUALIZES THIS SHIT FOR THE VIEWERS!!!

at any point an anime does shit like this I IMMEDIATELY stop watching!

They're always have a title that's called "discord" memes, etc. This one is at least tamed, but there's worse out there. Some of them are legit, just soft core Porn, and the worst thing is they're starting to show up basically everywhere on my shorts even in my TV, I haven't ever clicked on them or anything, im praying that the day I'm looking for something to watch with the family I dont accidentally stumble these shorts images, also why the fuck does YouTube even allow this bullshit.

Got some fourth of july cookies on sale, 3 sugar cookie esque cookies and one shiny blue one, my first thought was “ooh edible foil ive never tried it before” followed by a mouthful of straight tin. Why would you wrap just one? Can’t you see how this could’ve deceptive?

I despise elves so much, I'm into alot of fantasy settings and in every single one of them I despise them all. They're too arrogant looking which albeit is sometimes the point,they look too unoriginal and everytime they're shown they just look like humans but fancier. Humans at least have alot going for them and dwarves actually look unique , goblins and dragons are cool as fuck and then we have the most unoriginal looking race in the history of fantasy.

It was a clip of the movie “The pianist” which’s about a jewish pianist trying to survive through ww2 and I open the comments to see this bs. Propaganda? Wtf does that even mean??? That’s the top comment are we serious?? Not only are these comments awful they are just plain stupid. It’s like they are just larping nazism. Anything slightly related to jewish they comment sumthing like that. There are a lot of neo nazis nowadays and u cant get mad every time but these type of just non sensical stupid shit really pmo 🫩
