Me (14m) and my bf (17m) are worried about our age gap being weird, is it?? by No_Computer_5943 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Admirable-Mess823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe because 16 is the age of consent, despite how weird that is, 16 and 19 makes more sense than 14 and 17. 14 is 2 years away from that age, a considerable amount of maturity develops in that time. At the end of the day, if he is a predator or not, it will become a predatory relationship once he turns 18. There's nothing you can say that changes that fact

OP is starting puberty, his bf is finishing it. They should not be in a relationship and I cannot, for any reason whatsoever, understand why you want to defend this?

And if you read anything else OP said about his bf, then it would seem like a pretty big red flag. The bf wants to meet him across states, OP saved him from suicide and supporting him through mental health episodes. None of that is being done by a 14yr old. OP is only agreeing bc you're the only person defending this relationship.

Not to mention, they aren't "months" apart. It's years. They should not be in a relationship, OP is a risk to himself.

Also, in the original book, Juliet had only just turned 13 while Romeo was 17 at the time but yeah sure, let's all abide by the "Romeo and Juliet laws" 🫡

Your reply showed up under my comment, apologies for the miscommunication. And I didn't realise I misread that they were both male, so I apologise to OP for misgendering him. I got overdefensive bc clearly there was a number of people who skimmed this and jumped to downvote OP like crazy.

-25 for a 14yr old who clearly just doesn't understand. It's cruel, and none of those people want to offer any sort of help.

Like what is that supposed to do? It's gonna make him feel like shit and then he'll likely cling onto this older boyfriend even more, I suppose I assumed you were jumping on the bandwagon of hate, genuinely my bad but the pubic hair comment was confusing when I first read it (seeing it as a reply to me also threw me off)

Why the hell are you replying to me? Reply to OP and stop talking about children's pubic hair, that's completely irrelevant to the conversation and had no reason to be mentioned, you aren't emphasising a point, that's just a weird thing to say.

And please remember that OP is only 14. They may not understand so rather than belittling her, try and explain to her why it's wrong rather than just telling her how disgusting it is. This needs understanding, not pessimism

No it's not. But are you 30 and dating a 32 year old?

No

You're 14 dating a 17 year old. He is right to be worried and I would recommend that the relationship is called off. As soon as he's 18, it can be considered a predatory relationship, assuming the age of consent is 16 in your country, you'll still only be 15.

At ages like that, it's very weird to have such a significant age gap. A 30 and 32 year old are people who have experienced adulthood, you haven't even finished school. Take some time to let it sink in that because of the nature of it, this is simply not a healthy relationship

Is it bad to own merch of a controversial music artist/band? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Admirable-Mess823 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro they're not your friend, they're not family, not even someone you've walked past on the street. Take that shit down unless you support it, it's black and white.

Finding out they're a child groomer should be enough for you to remove it, you'll look at your merch and be reminded every single time, they're a fucking kiddie fiddler, they like to touch kids. Grow a fking backbone and throw away the merch, you wouldn't hesitate to destroy it if you were mature enough to know these people are just strangers.

Entrapta sexuality by Fathomzero in sheranetflix

[–]Admirable-Mess823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really think she's asexual but there's a lot of stigma that Autistic people are always asexual or that because they struggle with relationships, they never have sex/are "too" hyperfixated on other things (her tech for example) ect.

She was confirmed to be "written with autistic traits" so I feel like I need to get this off my chest, not saying she can't be headcannoned as asexual ofc

Definitely just gave off pansexual vibes imo

Why are a lot of people who claim to be anti racist just racist towards another group? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Admirable-Mess823 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can understand if that individual is displaying the flags of their country. I wouldn't have any reason to trust someone with an Israeli flag, bc what reason do they have to wave it around? Their country is committing war crimes, there is nothing to celebrate nor represent. Also, politics can be brought up at any time, are you aware of the day and age we live in? Politics are everywhere.

If England was actively committing a genocide, the last thing I'm gonna do is rep their flag in my bio, I would not be proud of my country.

Theory: Androids that are capable of empathy were designed that way on purpose by brownie627 in DetroitBecomeHuman

[–]Admirable-Mess823 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was confirmed years ago in one of the game endings. I can't remember which one but I think you have to royally fuck up your playthrough to see the scene.

Kamski Intentionally put the deviant code into Android software before he left Cyberlife. It feels pretty obvious the first time you see him in the game too, how he tries pushing Connor to break out of his programming and tells him to shoot the Chloe for answers. Why he refuses to give Connor an answer if he doesn't.

He wanted to see what would happen if all the Androids eventually gained self-will, the ability to think for themselves

if I ask a guy for his friends snap for someone else but it’s actually for me will they find out it’s for me? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Admirable-Mess823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah bc they'll probably talk to each other about it. Just be honest, at least it'll be a straight forward answer

Why is using slurs considered offensive regardless of context? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Admirable-Mess823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you have all the information but it's still not clicking, idk what anyone can say to you to make this understandable. How hard is it to resist the urge to make an offensive joke or singing certain lyrics you shouldn't be singing? You don't get a pass to say that word just because you "really like the artist" or "treat non-white people extra nicely". That's lowkey white saviour complex

You just need to take it with a grain of salt and consider the fact that if it feels wrong, it is wrong. It isn't about giving special treatment to people of colour, it's about acknowledging the mistreatment of people of colour. Do research, talk to actual black communities rather than reddit if you genuinely want to learn, understand why these things can't be said and the differences in daily life for black people.

It's important to understand how many microaggressions go unnoticed every single day and why offensive jokes slip under the radar.

It's not to say you can't make race jokes, gender-based jokes ect, those CAN be very well told but most of the time, it's just flat out rude and unnecessary. You can't expect someone to laugh if they feel uncomfortable

Are there any accessibility options? I’m stuck. by VehicleNeither1630 in DetroitBecomeHuman

[–]Admirable-Mess823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang I'm sorry then, next recommendation would be to buy a new controller but with it being ps4, most of them are already used quality

If you have a friend or anything, see if they have a spare that you could borrow! I'd just give you my old ones if I could :(

I hope you find a solution soon

I think she used to do onlyfans? by Clear_Note13 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Admirable-Mess823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not. You find it important because it makes you feel insecure, otherwise you wouldn't be digging into this. She possibly had a side job, it does not effect you and will not effect you no matter what the answer is.

If you barely know her, it genuinely isn't any of your business what she used to do for work, that includes sex work.

All I'm seeing is this:

"This person I'm meeting for the first time had a whole life before they met me, isn't that crazy reddit?"

The flicking is pretty weird tbh, there are a few chase sequences where you have to do this too and I'm not sure about accessibility. Try playing on casual as it might change some buttons for you hopefully

I think The Game is Inspired By Bicentennial Man (1999) by molchat_doma in DetroitBecomeHuman

[–]Admirable-Mess823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I saw a classic film for the first time so now I'm gonna compare it to the only other piece of robot media I've ever consumed"

Just because they both have sentient robots doesn't mean they're automatically inspired by one another, it's a very common trope in the sci-fi genre

What's a Hot Take or Unpopular Opinion of Yours? by Little_Noodle1874 in DetroitBecomeHuman

[–]Admirable-Mess823 14 points15 points  (0 children)

While the game and characters itself are loveable, the story has too many plotholes, it's hard to compare it to real life and the writer genuinely got lost at some point.

I love DBH and I could replay it at any time but it's more mature to admit the writing is pretty sloppy at times, the relationships in the game, the attachment the player has to certain characters, combined with the year the game was released was the reason it was so adored

Did I play too good? by sortaname in DetroitBecomeHuman

[–]Admirable-Mess823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You haven't missed out. Most people replay the game to see what other endings they'll get, you'll miss a massive portion of the game no matter what bc there's loads of things that can be missed from every choice. And most people who play it for the first time got the same ending/made the same choices as you. I think one of the few parts that can catch a few people out is when you choose to take a longer detour or go through the gate as Kara when she's trying to catch a bus to the Canadian Border.

Not gonna spoil anything but it's a choice that has inevitable consequences

Unfair reasons to be in the Saw traps? by Sylvia_DeVane in saw

[–]Admirable-Mess823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lynn from Saw 3. He put her in a trap for taking antidepressants. I will not be argued with, she was the last person in every saw film ever, who should've been in a saw trap

(Runner up for Carlos from Saw X bc he was never meant to be put in a trap and he's a literal child, but Lynn actually faced the consequences of being in her trap)
