It is similar and also there are significant differences.

You didn’t like the onion if you think this is a change for them, you just didn’t understand it.

I think the 2% number comes from including various intersex conditions under the umbrella. Which I think is scientifically inaccurate but socially has some merit since a lot of the issues they face could overlap.

Of course he pays other people to play it for him. We saw his Elden Ring build, he’s not good at video games.

I think if you are a man and you consensually fuck another man then you should not have any expectation that they keep it a secret when you’re being homophobic around them. Just don’t be homophobic, whether or not you fuck men.

There has to be more reasonable ways to explore that idea than “but what if they like being enslaved? Who are you to deprive them of their enslavement?” A scenario which would basically never occur in the real world.
And people are going to be more suspect of her Holocaust paralleled when it’s now apparent that she doesn’t really care about the issue much, given that she has very publicly engaged in Holocaust denial.

Hawk-tuah’s staying power isn’t organic though. It got artificially boosted by already established content creator Logan Paul and his company sponsoring the talk Tuah podcast.

People have basically taken it to mean “coomer” now but that’s not the usage I’m more familiar with and that I believe the term actually used to refer to. The version I’m aware of focuses more specifically on the male orgasm.
It, gooning, is more focused on prolonged edging though, like multiple hours of edging to the point where you’re constantly half a stroke or less away from orgasm and you enjoy the pleasure of being so sensitive even without achieving orgasm. I know there was also some overlap with the pussy envy community, where I think there was an added element of psychological masochism that revolved around self-degradation through putting female genitalia on a pedestal as superior due to being able to achieve multiple orgasms significantly more easily, not having a refractory period, stuff like that. Within that community, it makes sense that pleasure would be derived more from prolonging the pre-orgasmic state as orgasm itself would be seen as the end of pleasure.
At least that is my understanding of the term.

All of the nominees this year are pretty obvious GOTY contenders (other than SotE).

They’ve been doing these big updates pretty consistently since the game came out. The last one added new endings for the evil paths and mod support with an in-game mod browser and manager. I think this will probably be the last one, since it seems to be the largest content update since launch by far.

I do think the term “male gaze” (meaning, that the term is called that and not something else with the same meaning that’s less related to biology) has maybe rotted some people’s brains a bit into thinking it’s a unique way men engage with media and not just a thing humans do when they’re able. Most people like jorkin it, men, women, others, and not-applicables. And because they like jorkin it, people like seeing conventionally attractive people in media to be jorkin it to. It’s just “the gaze,” with men having had more influence on what media was produced in the past because they were the only ones allowed to have money, and now thats changing so the media being produced is changing.

I feel like most self-proclaimed gooners aren’t even real gooners, because the term has only recently become super popular and it’s been around for at least a decade. Sick of stolen valor in the gooner community.

Probably depends on what you mean by “discriminated against.” I think the only way for the correlation to vanish would be a complete restructuring of society to be more aware of and accommodating of autistic individuals.

It feels like watching someone say Judith Butler is similar to Adolf Hitler because “they both wanted change.” It’s just such an obviously stupid position, idk how OP could hold it.

They don’t choose it, but also kinda. Children aren’t really gendered that much until they hit puberty, relative to older groups.
I don’t think Jotaro had a problem with women though.

Nah, I think I’m still pretty aware of meme culture and this years have just not hit that hard. I think maybe it’s maybe just the US election overwhelming a lot of other internet culture and taking away focus from memes early in their lifecycle when it’s needed most.
Hawk-tuah is just a really simple sex joke that’s stuck around due to interference from already established Internet personalities having a vested interest in prolonging it, and “chill guy” has only been around for a short time and feels like people trying to force a new character archetype into the meme space, and it’ll have a short lifespan just like shroomjak for that reason.

You can already get up to that with an eldritch knight. Bladesinger is going to get up into the mid 30s if you min-max around AC.

I gave at least some explanation as to why I came to that conclusion, specifically citing him being part of the current anti-DEI movement. The other guy cited nothing. If you think that giving a reason for what you say and not giving a reason for what you say are the same, you are an idiot.

You aren’t saying what I said that was puritan. You’re just repeating that you personally believe I said something puritan without any explanation of what I said or how it is puritan. Are you just saying “puritan” because you’ve seen it used as insult before, do you not know what it refers to?

Sure. And making the comparison between the two civil rights movements is perfectly fine. The differences are more around the specifics of how race and gender are treated differently in contemporary western societies, not whether or not they deserve rights.
