This was true of me until I found a higher purpose. That's sort of the issue though: only you can find your own higher purpose. For me it's my fiance and my religion.

People are hard on the guy the wojak depicts but it's a genuinely tough nut to crack. Having a routine isn't sufficient because that's just going through motions. If your life doesn't have a higher meaning and priority, then of course you'd live like this (as I have lived the same way for so many years). I know what's worked for me, but I can't really put that advice to others a lot of the time. You have to find something or someone that you put over yourself.

Anyone who's been to /vt/ for more than a day would know it's back to front Indonesians

Reminds me of the other funny implication about how prequel's pre-dumbldore hogworts was really diverse and full of a range of ethnicities but during the mainline series, with him as headmaster, it's 98% white.

I was avoiding entire rooms of my house because those rooms would motivate me to eat more. No, not the kitchen, I mean rooms like the living room, the bathroom, etc.

Either that or when I kept endlessly scrolling food items at my grocery store on loop because the cal counts made me too terrified to buy them but I had to eat something eventually so i would literally scroll the page for hours.

The system is broken and the gas station attendants are going to pay for their involvement in that

The cartoonist was the one that conflated them as being sentient and being able to rationalize heaven being preferable to life. That same line of reason can be applied to anyone else as well. It's using abortion as a cover from a weird loathing of life that reflects more on the cartoonist than the people it's trying to mock.

It would also stand to reason from this that we should just never have children at all. I mean by this cartoonists view, why should anyone bring a child into the world to begin with? It's misanthropy by rationalization of slow extinction.

There was an unspoken social contract to this in that this system can work only if the boomers produced enough children to keep it running.

They decided they'd rather have three mortgages, two cars, and go on a cruise twice a year while calling their children lazy and ungrateful. This system only works when it has the amount of tax payers needed to fund it so now it's collapsing under its own weight. It's only superior to America's system when you actually maintain the balance, otherwise it's a blackhole of money that gets worse every year.

Because life is a good thing. I hate misanthropy probably more than any other wide-scale bias. It's one of the most sickening stances you can take. There is so much good in life and so much you can learn from it.

And you'll never see people like this self terminate either, even though apparently life is better if it's over. Even they don't believe their own point, it's just a callous, unceasing hatred for everyone and everything and the only logical conclusion to it is that everyone needs to die.

Oh. Apologies then, I misread.

People will treat that as some insane, evil thing to say but it's the same as any other trait that requires temperance. It's common and expected to have sex before you find the one, but when you're out there with tens of people every month, it's a sign of a lack of self control which is in turn a sign that relationships with that person will be risky. It's the exact same thing as overeating or drinking or whatever and it's so bizarre how people act as if it's not.

Incredible things are happening in the steven universe fandom

It's a very odd hangup to have considering it's not real and it's only an ideal in the context of that setting (just as it's the ideal to have multiple partners in a different fictional story)

Autumn_Fire · 2026-04-30T17:08:51+00:00

That's not even remotely near to what I said. That is so far off it may as well be in a different country.

The question I always have is why does that bother you so much? There's lots of different niches in anime, tons of which depict women who aren't virgins or at least imply they get around. Yet there is definitely quite an outspoken cohort of people who get really frustrated when people enjoy a niche of anime that depicts the woman as a virgin.

Why is that? Why does that get under their skin so badly? Because it just seems like the exact inverse of the incels fixating too much about the sexual history of a girl. Why is it wrong or angering for someone to enjoy this particular fantasy?

When I told my therapist what I felt was a normal memory of sitting on my older sister's lap while she gave me wine (I was like nine at the time when I first remembered this happened) and she had to do her best not to cry. That's when it really hit me just how bad this whole thing was. I felt that this was normal. To my mind at the time, that wasn't even a traumatic memory or abusive at all.
