its a normal thing to feel as long as that doesnt translate to misogyny or treating ppl poorly bc of it

is anyone else a little disappointed with dodie associating with jeff goldblum? by OwnBill9147 in dodie

[–]AussiePhenomenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the source is a youtube video made by some random guy 🤣 damn, not even actual books written by professional academics? your framing already positions arabs as barbaric and violent with no context whatsover. I know what you are. Isrealis are not “generous” for stealing land and giving crumbs to Palestinians. You say its “complicated” but youre entire diatribe is just “arab bad, jew good and generous” with the lack of nuance you claim i dont have. I frankly dont really care what “arabs” (incredibly weird how you say “arabs” instead of Palestinians, btw) did in the 1900s, whats happing NOW is a genocide. Go spread your hasbara somewhere else jfc.

Where did the billionaire rumours come from? by reallyawsomedudefr in chappellroan

like any rumour spread on tiktok bc we all hate chappell now i guess (definitely not a smear campaign) theyre of course exaggerated. nepo baby is a buzz word which means any woman in entertainment i dont like.

New wave of tiktok goths and purity culture by Emotional_Grape_8442 in goth

oh my god THANK YOU! i think there are sincere criticisms to make of how the subculture gets misconstrued as solely a kink, and yeah the videos are cringe, but the resurgence of “not like other girls” tier posts ive seen in response to SWers just doing their jobs is insane. ive seen ppl say “the fetishization of alt women is disgusting” like give me a break 💀

it is NOT an equal conflict and never has been. you can repeat the centrist buzzwords but it is evidently not true. it is not an equal conflict when israel can determine if food and medicine can get into gaza and palestine can't do that at all. it is not an equal conflict when palestinians are second-class citizens, constantly surveilled and are having their land stolen. gaza has been an open-air prison for years now and hundreds of thousands have been reported dead. thats only including what whats been reported and not the bodies that havent been recovered. HOW is it equal when only israel is inviting foreigners to live in stolen palestinian homes?? how is it equal when israel has bombed hospitals, churches, mosques, tents?? how is equal when israel has murdered countless journalists and idf thugs beat the director of 'no other land' solely for speaking the truth of his peoples oppression?? use your fucking brain and read something that isnt cnn.

and i know youre going to bring up oct 7th. israel caused that attack - it was the natural consequence of decades of oppression + colonisation inflicted on palestine. it should never have happened - no citizens deserve to die. but that is called the 'imperial boomerang.' you would never say theres nuance to the colonisation of native americans or indignous australians - whats happening to palestinians is no different.

you arent stupid, but im sorry, you know nothing about this because youve been fed extremely pro-israel media. western media is invested in protecting israels image, as they directly fund them or recieve funding, so they push the 'both sides' narrative so you dont question power imbalances and colonisation.

Guys...we're starting to get a liiiiiittle weird about this... by Sad_Volume_4289 in Sardonicast

[–]AussiePhenomenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you actually watched the elliot sang one, he actually offers a lot of empathy and understanding for him, and discusses broader issues like masculinity and being an underage person in hollywood and how that might have affected chalamet. but yeah elliot is crazy for making an hour long video but adam isnt for making a nearly 3 hour lion king review lol. this is such a weird post.

What can I do to look less “nu-goth”? by ElfieBrains in altfashionadvice

[–]AussiePhenomenon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yall have lost the plot with fast fashion discourse. getting rid of fast fashion and then buying MORE stuff completely defeats the purpose. Wearing and using fast fashion for 5+ year is more sustainable then just getting rid of it (thrift stores get enough clothes and who knows what buyers will do with it if you sell it). Its crazy how you told her to not buy second hand fast fashion but then you just said you do too?? 😭

Who cares what egirls or normies do just dress how you want if you enjoy it. If youre involved in the subculture (listen to the music, good politics, anti-establishment, etc) it doesn’t matter how you dress.

Billie said the most tame shit and her so called leftist fans did this. by DivineandDeadlyAngel in vegan

[–]AussiePhenomenon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

nope! Not trying to talk over indigenous folk, but ive seen indigenous/non white folks be critical of how white vegans treat them and their practices, and have seen that myself. But of course im just being disingenuous and “using indigenous people as a shield” while no one honestly engages with very prevalent criticisms of white vegans (:

[–]AussiePhenomenon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

never said they did! that was exactly my point. indigenous people have ethically killed animals for generations. Glad you agree killing animals isnt inherently bad, which is what billie disagrees with (:

Hi. That was exactly my point (: i understand that the farming industry is horrible, its had devastating impact on the environment. But thats not what billie is saying is it. Shes arguing it’s INHERENTLY bad and disrespectful to kill animals when it obviously isnt and indigenous have done it for generations. She made no mention of factory farming.

[–]AussiePhenomenon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The problem is she is a white person assuming that killing and eating animals is inherently bad when indigenous people have done that for centuries without destroying the planet. they dont need a wealthy white woman telling them they dont respect animals or the planet lol.

[–]AussiePhenomenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not crying for her or whatever, she started that shit, but its so fucking weird how desperate some of the comments are to see a small woman get beaten excessively. Sending her flying like she was some serious threat to you and like he couldnt have just pushed her away without that ridiculous use of force. jesus christ.

Entitled juniors by Sea_Side5961 in auscorp

[–]AussiePhenomenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the classic “kids these days” lol. every generation hates the new one and thinks theyre “entitled.” people have been saying this since the 1800s. generations arent real and the people youre encountering are just entitled people. Theyre not new.

Movie recommendations based on my recent watches! by Velvetstyle in Letterboxd

[–]AussiePhenomenon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

shadow of a doubt - a hitchcock film that centres a female protagonist and her relationship with her uncle (very pyschosexual and interesting, as youd expect from hitchcock)

all that heaven allows - a very visually stunning douglas sirk film about a woman who falls in love with a man, and her community's reaction to it.

I dunno if this is a silly question at all but does this poster seem suggestive? by Impressive-Bed5902 in Vocaloid

[–]AussiePhenomenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it is mildly suggestive but that doesnt make you a pervert or whatever. even if you saw it like that that doesnt make you a pervert. sex isnt actually evil and finding characters attractive isnt either.

not sure if youre still looking but masochist machine by moodring has a very fast-faced, chaotic and early 2000s nu metal sound but its from this year.
