    Apparently you are not allowed to like things that teen girls like. You are supposed to ridicule it and tear it to shreds. Otherwise you are Very Shallow and Very Boring, exactly according to relentless harmful media stereotype.

    I had this mindset before and now I am aware of it and now I tell people to stop it unless you are also okay on equally tearing apart the crap teen boys like. Then we can move on to tearing apart crap teen enbies like.

    Ironically one episode of MLP, Dragon Quest, portrays "you're not like other dragons" as a valid worldview. Though that's one of the worse ones

    my take on this: fight and defeat cringe so there is no cringe forever and ever. people should feel no shame for liking media (as long as its not problematic and as long as theyre not harming anyone or being gross about it) no matter how mainstream or how "youll get cooties" it is or whatever

    @Dr. R. Bushroot I understand your stance but I'm going to emphasize that there's a dedicated hatedom for Twilight which is disproportionately trashing on Twilight; there's nowhere near the size of hatedom for like Ready Player One and other commercial novels.

    The video goes into what I'm trying to say here

    There are funny animations in the Sims and I always imagined "What if Mario characters animated that silly way?". I managed to make that a reality in an afternoon yesterday. I'm tired but it was so worth it!

    if you want to see it, it's in my signature and profile :)

    That blue flower creature thing in Smash Bros. needs medical attention. It keeps saying "I've a sore" and "SORE! SORE!".

    Let that sink in.

    I don't want to be a "🤓" but the "sore" is "saur" as in Ivysaur.

    I've seen some intelligence-related insults online involving "missing chromosones". Don't do this. It's ableist as hell!

    on the topic of ableist insults, i've been meaning to bring up something somewhere: if calling someone the r-word in a demeaning fashion is (rightfully) ableist, wouldn't it follow that the phrase "low IQ", provided it's used in the same context, is also ableist? mental retardation is scientifically defined as having below-average intelligence, after all.

    unlike say simply calling someone "dumb" or an "idiot", which even intelligent people can be on grounds of poor education or immaturity, "low iq" presumes that one's poor judgement is of a more inherent, squarely physiological nature.

    what do you think?

    I was going to follow through also saying that "low iq", "room temperature iq" insults should be also not be used for the same reasons particularly when iq scores, if I recall correctly, was devised to screen out people who needed assistance in education. Assholes who say and do stupid things should not be pathologized and conflated with people who score low on iq tests. I'd rather be with people who have down syndrome than people who are bigots.

    Btw I also have a messed up chromosome myself, a reversed chromosome, though it doesn't lend to any observable condition

    People don't seem to generalize hating rock music but when it comes to rap for some reason it's fair game even when rock also has a lot of the "bad" themes that people castigate rap for.

    One thing that really upsets me about racing/driving games is that they almost never provide us minivans to race in. GTA V has like, what, one minivan? Out of a kajillion sports cars? That's immersion-breaking, and I won't stand for it.

    Hell I want Hot Wheels to have MORE minivans why don't we have more minivan diecasts (especially the ones with the slide door). I see only that Dodge Caravan which is excellent minivan representation but I want more Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey.
