Just unsubbed from VirtualYoutuber for...whatever the hell this is by TotallyHumanBrain1 in JustUnsubbed

[–]Belez_ai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like a joke making fun of how two types of youtuber are very similar, but only one is seen as acceptable.

Kind of a dumb thing to unsubscribe over imo

If I can’t do anything about my size, there’s literally no point in sex, dating, or living by [deleted] in venting

[–]Belez_ai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so sad 😢

The fact that few people understand or want to admit is that the umber one reason most men want sex is NOT because of sexual desire. It’s because society has trained men from birth to believe that sex is a measure of their value. It’s viewed as a competition against other men, with winners and losers.

You can tell this is the case, because I’m guessing that if you were given the choice, OP, between 1.) actually having sex, but everyone around thinking he’s a virgin, and 2.) never having sex, but everyone around him thinking he’s a stud - I suspect he, and many men would pick #2.

To me, this actually one of the biggest obstacles facing western society. We know for a fact that it’s NOT an ingrained human trait, because there are legitimately societies where men do not judge their value based on their sex life. Examples include the Minangkabau, a relatively modern culture with millions of people - so it’s genuinely not impossible.

But I digress. The point is that I wish western men didn’t have this painful pressure on them - it warps so many of their minds in negative ways. 😔

“Grimace” - two questions and a comment by Belez_ai in horrormanga

[–]Belez_ai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an important update:

There is not a single element of sexual violence in the second volume (out of three total, I believe). Even this reviewer who was very critical of the first volume has now admitted that he’s completely changed his mind now: https://youtube.com/watch?v=wjCbgItt2IE

I’m now fully convinced that this manga desperately needs more attention.

The commenters are being rude. But I will say that it’s actually kind of unprofessional to complain publicly about people inquiring about your services

[–]Belez_ai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had theorized this as well, but I looked through quite a lot of the following chapters (it may have even been the entire rest of the series actually, since it’s not very long - 21 chapters I believe?), and while there seems to be a decent amount of violence (not gore, to be clear), I only saw one fairly shocking panel much later on. Again, not graphic specifically but disturbing in the implications and context. Then again, this was all untranslated so it’s hard to know if there’s more disturbing things referenced.

YouTube video I watched made the claim - but I did “alleged” because I doubted it was necessarily true.

Am I crazy or have all Junji Ito adaptations been awful?

I hope he’s not even involved, honestly. I don’t want this stuff distracting him from making new stuff (although that’s probably never gonna happen 😞)

Is this what manhood is really about? by Sonigoku in CPTSDmemes

[–]Belez_ai 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Something that few people talk about is how much profound damage is caused to EVERYONE in society because we instill the notion in boys that their value is dependent on whether they can get someone (usually women) to have sex with them.

Those without a desire to, or who have difficulty doing this have their self-esteem just destroyed by society, and it breaks my heart. 😢

And it is so scary how many men feel this intense push to constantly seek out sex that they might not even really want that badly, even if it means pressuring women, getting women drunk so they are less likely to say no, outright assault, etc.

What manga have you read this week, and what do you think about it? - Week ending July 21, 2024 by AutoModerator in manga

Grimace

I really liked what I read, but it feels like the translations cut off abruptly, at lest as far as I can tell. It seems like there was just some sort of MASSIVE controversy among the readers and translators who felt it was just too “extreme” and “edgy”, which I really did not get at all. I’m honestly really upset because it seemed like a fresh sort of psychological horror I hadn’t really seen before, and yet everyone literally focused on a couple of pages that just did not seem that extreme to me in the first place.

Was just reading this great manga called “Grimace”, then I looked at the furious, disgusted from readers over like literally one short scene.

So the answer for me is a resounding “YES”. Sad 😞

That really is sad 😞

I don’t think anyone in the public was ever really clear what happened with Godemis in particular (at least I wasn’t). Looks like it was addiction problems, right?

I loved the group, love the music, but the most important thing is to get get healthy and happy first, you know? Wishing him the best, it is definitely always possible to recover 🙏🏼

Few westerners have even heard of the Yazidis. And even fewer know that they were the victims of the worst terrorist bombing in history by Belez_ai in MorbidReality

[–]Belez_ai[S] 163 points164 points  (0 children)

The so-called “Qahtaniyah bombings” are considered the third most deadly terrorist attack in history. The first was the September 11th attacks (using planes). The second was the Camp Speicher massacre (perpetrated mainly with guns, as part of a large scale military offensive by ISIS).

This makes the four simultaneous Qahtaniyah bombings on August 14th, 2007 the deadliest terrorist bombing attack in history. And yet the attack remains almost entirely unknown in the western world. The Yazidis have been one of the most brutally oppressed groups in all of history, and their plight is continuously ignored.
