One of the specific things I’m noticing now is the mainstreaming of really ugly, regressive treatment in politics and mainstream culture—not just of women but of immigrants, gay people, trans people. There’s a resurgence of the kind of offensive and dehumanizing behavior that we saw in popular culture during the 2000s, and this time it’s not being doled out by gossip bloggers and celebrity commentators, but by politicians and people with massive media platforms. And my theory for why it’s happening is that certain kinds of porn have inured so many people to cruelty. So that’s one part of it. But when I wrote that sentence, what I was thinking about was how so much of porn has really enforced the idea that men should be catered to, in all aspects of culture. That concept is deep in the recesses of our imaginations, in ways we maybe don’t realize or can’t quite put into words.

Muh victimhood, men bad! Men can’t be victims, they’re the oppressors!

Of course! I’ve written for this very magazine in the past defending romance novels as subversive portrayals of female desire, female agency, female humanity. There is nothing wrong with smut. The reason I think and write so much about porn as a form of culture is not because it’s explicitly sexual. It’s because much of it depicts and encourages very rote, regressive, cruel, and even violent treatment of women, and there’s no way that these elements haven’t changed us.

But female porn depicts men and women so kindly right? 50 shades of grey? The bazillion rape porn books? The bazillion billionaire baby daddy with 6 packs who force women into sexual relationships books?

About a year or so ago, I encountered this fascinating analysis by the social scientist Alice Evans, who argues that the status of women in a particular society can be predicted by examining how that society prizes romantic love. So it’s not surprising to me at all that so many women enjoy explicit romantic content—it’s gratifying their desires while also affirming that they are fully human and deserve to be treated as such.

So she figured out pussy on a pedestal? Shocking that women almost, almost figured out why they are valued in society

You can say she shouldn't have gone and play hero but the chain of events started when they stumbled on the massacre. Had she stayed with the main caravan she'd end up getting attacked right?

That’s the point though, she died “girl bossing”. You could argue she still might have died under different circumstances, but she directly died because she repeatedly made dumb choices and did so often at the cost of others.

The “bad luck” was literally a culmination of her stupidity, if she didn’t run off to do stupid shit she would have been alive. The entire story was about how “wild and free spirited” she was, when she would have been fine if her dad had the balls to say “no” to her at any given time.

The entire plot of 1883 is stupid teenage girl making stupid decisions while her parents sit back and go “well that’s her decision!”. Her stupidity eventually kills her which sets up the basis of the main series. The rest of it is ok, but having the main plot being so mind numbingly moronic kills any positive aspects of the show.

It’s more judges acting as the executive branch. They have zero actual ability to enforce this but they will bog down Trump in the legal quagmire in order to slow him down his entire time in. The judges ruling was literally “you didn’t prove troons were incapable of being beneficial to the military” despite still being a mental illness in the DSM-5 and every single study on sex change surgeries or the massive report that led to the ban under the first Trump term. That was a Bush Sr judge too.

They did a study on a “theory” that was touted as fact for a while after the gay gene theory was debunked. Essentially they claimed it was an amalgamation of genes that causes homosexuality since they couldn’t act fine the gay gene. The study they put out showed only an 8-25% correlation between their theorized amalgamation in the data among the largest sample of gay men ever collected, this of course led to them claiming in the conclusion “that evidence of the genetic disposition for homosexuality exists”.

Equality is persecution to women. Women had no problems with ripping apart male spaces for decades and then men put on skirts and they freaked out.

I looked it up, and it appears that NDP is mostly men. I find this odd because it's been my experience that women suffer from it more. In fact, I can't think of many men with the actual disorder. It's more than an inflated ego, it's the sense that they are the center of the world and if they can't control it, something is wrong. If their ego isn't being constantly stroked, they're actually scared everything is about to fall apart.

It took until this year for “psychologists” to admit women are psychopaths at similar rates to men. You have to understand that in the “social sciences” social pressures are held over any actual data. This is why their abstract and conclusions are wildly different than the actual observed data anymore (the “gay gene” study last year was a shining example of that). Women dominating the social sciences and the general effeminate nature of the field has led to massively false claims and hiding of anything negative about women/ lgbtq.

“I feel, like, so queer, do you know what I mean? I think that’s the thing, I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realized: ‘Oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer,' and I think that’s really cool.”

A guy gave her the tingles and she’s trying to save face with her followers.

Punching at ghosts that aren’t there is kinda the whole basis of social “sciences”

But again, I still don't think I'm a massively niche category. Plenty of people don't raid, are in guilds that don't raid or more importantly, only pug their raids.

It’s anyone in the guild even does raid finder or arena/rbg. Again you’d have to be extremely niche.

The main scrutiny for the wow modern was far lower than wow classic. To be considered in the wow modern you simply need to have logged into a 70+ account and be active in a guild that raided, in the wow classic it was raid logins per the week of 4/9-4/15. If you don’t appear you’re in very niche category per their own data.

That’s the gimmick. To be fair the “with” brands were still selling at 4 bucks a container

If you play classic cata it’s very fu woke.

This is the “conservative” feminist. They demand traditional men while they also demand to give nothing in return and instead be handed male traditional roles. Maces entire career is that of a feminist, not a conservative, she’s JK Rowling essentially

The part i caught was Gupta saying there was no known negative side effects in humans, its was cheaper, and created the brighter colors people “wanted” in their food.

You can easily swap out avocado oil or olive, most stores use soybean or sunflower oil anymore

Chosen foods has an avocado mayo that’s like 4-5 ingredients, no other oils, it’s ~9 bucks a container though. Mustard you can find relatively easily with minimal ingredients and is vastly easier to make than mayonnaise. There’s a few chip brands that are three ingredients with only avocado oil as well for decent snacks. When i did keto for a year I got pretty good at roasting my own almond/ nut flavor mixes which is an easy snack too. Hummus and baba ganoush are pretty easy to make with a food processor, toum is tricky like mayonnaise but amazing.

By the Turks, not the English. Hence the English word "slave" is not a racial slur, particularly as an English word that carries no moral weight against the Slavs

You’re truly now reaching peak idiocy. The Turks didn’t invent the word slave, the English did, and did so knowing it was the word for Slav. They could have used any other Latin word to base slave on like servant or thrall. They instead, knowingly, chose slave because when English started the Slavic slave trade was still prominent. So yes, they in fact did do so with “moral weight” it’s further exemplified that by the fact Slav was not created until after Slave was. You truly are the most retarded person to debate because you have ZERO CLUE about anything you talk about and make up shit wildly.

Both pretty much showcase that gaming really peaked over a decade ago, we just have been in a dei spiral since

You are doing it currently, just not to push for a race war… so why haven’t you banned yourself again?

That’s conjecture from a paid wow vtuber using supposed numbers “leaked” to him from blizzard. It would require over 95% of all subscribers to be inactive over the course of a year. 2 million is even a stretch, if there wasn’t any crossover between wow modern and the classics it’s still under 600k active users in the past month.

This is the point, how is it translated? If "nigger" is translated into Swahili as "person with dark skin", then the slur connotation is lost, and it isn't a slur. It's literally just someone speaking in Swahili describing someone with dark skin.

It’s hilarious watching you spew stupid shit. YOU JUST CHANGED THE TRANSLATION IN YOUR OWN EXAMPLE! Imagine being so completely disingenuous you have to make up a new definition in a fake translation to assume you’re right… you truly are beyond parody.

Regardless of whatever ethnic tensions existed between those groups, I don't remember them ever being classified as an inherent slave race, especially since all of them also kept themselves as slaves too.

That’s literally what the word change was you stupid bitch. How can you truly be so dense that NAMING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OF HUMAN OWNERSHIP AFTER A RACE IS NOT BEING CLASSIFIED AS A SLAVE RACE? How are you this insurmountably stupid? Again, you’re beyond holocaust denial levels of insanity, and massively spreading disinformation at this point. Ban yourself faggot.

That’s kinda the point of SoD which is almost an alternate WoW timeline for vanilla plus. At least with wow classic just reaching MoP there’s still MoP which was at least fun, WoD which was meh, and Legion which was the best one since wrath. That’s 6+ years and you can grind play tokens pretty easily once you’re high tier. Anniversary is just plain vanilla wow as well. I’m betting that wow is going to pump out one more woke expac where the playerbase completely crumbles into classic which will massively drop during WoD. This might make a wake up moment where they do Wrath with a SoD and start over completely, but I doubt they’ll learn why their active base collapsed and double down on gay shit while people play classic because it’s doesn’t have it.

Harry Potter is actually high praise compared to what they really read. Modern women’s “literature” is some of the most soul sucking, brain dead, drivel that basically is just really bad rape porn drawn out in bastardized Jane Austen sequence. Don’t even get me started on the mass publishing of books in Ebonics now, leftist “literature” is more inebriating than tv could dream of being.
