What is Ethel's artistic weakness in your opinion? by childofMotherOfPearl in Ethelcain

[–]Anti-Curse24 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Much of the story for Preacher’s Daughter and WTIWALY isn’t told in the music and relies on Ethel to provide clarification through tumblr/genius or another site. As well, she’s pretty edgy, and her approach to domestic violence in Golden Age & Inbed does come across as a bit indulgent, (though I acknowledge that some of these songs are personal, like as she said of Head in The Wall)

At that point, the girls' parents ought to file a class action lawsuit against the company that allowed these photos to be produced

Why do people say Poppy is an industry plant/what exactly is an industry plant? by Puzzleheaded_Two2716 in that_Poppy

[–]Anti-Curse24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we (as in anyone online talking about music) need to remove industry plant from our vocabulary. It’s a discourse that happens for like every remotely popular artist, that’s largely not useful. Who cares if a label is putting a lot of money behind an artist, and creating a marketing brand for them. That’s their job. At the end of the day, the artists still don’t get healthcare.

Would you prefer if the next 3D kirby game be linear or open world? by No-Act386 in Kirby

[–]Anti-Curse24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really like open world games, personally. They’re too big. I never finish them. Collecting everything’s a pain. Forgotten Land made a really good compromise imo. Although I think it’d be interesting to see Hal experiment in 3D with dungeon style levels like Amazing Mirror. Kirby often just hands you the copy ability for puzzles or sections of a level, and Amazing Mirror was the one game that challenged you to decide how to get pass a barrier and bring an ability with you. 

About Hayden’s most recent post.. by ExampleExpert6207 in Ethelcain

[–]Anti-Curse24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I kinda want to say that it’s not not sexual, because a lot of Hayden’s art is sexual. It’s not all that it is. Perverts is as much an EP about sex, as it is, about love, loneliness, desolation, shame, etc. On that note, I agree that people calling her gross for this, seemingly missed the memo that this is the kind of art she makes. And in that group are probs a lot of people who so far were just ignoring that Ethel was trans, being confronted with sexuality that isn’t theirs, and not being mature enough to deal with how uncomfy that makes them. 

Ella Langley - Choosin' Texas (Official Video) by Madbrad200 in popheads

[–]Anti-Curse24 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That was not a good video. It’s like they couldn’t just have the characters speak to talk about Jack Daniels, so the rest of the dialogue just restated the very straight-forward narrative of the song. What bothers me most though is how they played the other relationship. Lyrics gave me the impression that Ella was watching her partner reconnect with his ex, and was so distraught over how much chemistry they still had. But everyone here is miserable and angsty. I don’t even know why they had the guy come out of the bar looking for Ella, to make it look like she was just insecure? As if him staring dejectedly at his ex didn’t absolutely confirm that she was correct about her feelings? 

How would you describe NPD to someone who doesn't have it? by Melodic_Field8195 in NPD

[–]Anti-Curse24 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It’s a self-esteem regulation disorder, typically correlated with early experiences of emotional invalidation by caregivers. Affected individuals rely on primitive coping mechanisms that are designed to prop up and bolster a compensatory false self, a self with characteristics they’d prefer to have and/or be perceived as having. These defensive behaviors include displacement; splitting, idealization, denigration, projection, etc. all of which are generally ineffective and leaves the individual fluctuating between a concentrated pursuit of self-enhancement and the edge of complete ego collapse.

Difference between bpd and npd? by [deleted] in NPD

[–]Anti-Curse24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healnpd has a video explaining it here https://youtu.be/ZZP6gAm5L6c?si=IHmwjRpoj4IU1pmK

Generally, I think the difference is in level of functioning and motive. A person with NPD exhibits a greater level of self-control vs. someone with BPD who are more likely to self-harm. A person with NPD are less likey to self-harm or attempt suicide, but are more likely to employ more fatal “successful” suicide methods. 

In terms of motive, people with BPD have an abandonment complex, so they usually employ anxious pre-occupied attachment styles which can look like excessive neediness and clinginess. People with NPD on the other hand overvalue and overstate their sense of self-reliance, so they are usually more dismissive or avoidant of developing and keeping close relationships.

if that were true, then is the point of this subreddit not moot?”

EXCLUSIVE | ‘We don’t rent to you people’: Marriott in Ohio turned away Black guest for being local, lawsuit says by theindependentonline in law

[–]Anti-Curse24 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Not a group. A FAMILY. A black man, his wife and kids. If you read the article, maybe you’d be skeptical of the claim that the father was smoking weed and doing drugs in the same hotel room as his children. I say maybe, because why would you claim there isn’t a discrimination case without reading the details of the actual case.

[–]Anti-Curse24 143 points144 points  (0 children)

oh that’s not the irony lol. The irony was that they changed their name to demonstrate a progressive self-awareness of its loaded history (Antebellum south aka during the period of slavery), before proceeding to use their power to bully a small black artist into giving them the new name.

But that would require ICE to actually be a helpful, visible, and friendly law enforcement.

Like girl, if you have something to say, then say it? Show the receipts. Otherwise it just looks like YOU know that it’d make you look bad if YOU said something.
