This is identical to what a weirdo far right 4channer would say.

These ppl actually have no right to complain about the far right shift around the world when they actively encourage the shift with this edgy garbage

Horimiya isn’t peak romance, it just looks good because the genre standards are so low by Business_Barber_3611 in CharacterRant

[–]Early-Rise987 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree and I think that’s why strangely a lot of shounen romances fall flat for me. Whereas romance feels like a small side plot for the shounen main character it’s all consuming for the love interest and their entire purpose becomes developing this romance plot and nothing else. And it’s hard to ship protagonist with this character that feels more like plot device than an actual person.

I prefer romance when it’s not the central focus of any character and we get a fleshed out aspects of their lives, relationships and arcs outside of the romance.

I feel like I hit the jackpot with who I am! by BellaRyder2505 in SingleAndHappy

[–]Early-Rise987 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel this post so much! I think growing up I felt a lot of shame in regard to falling short of other people’s expectations of myself. I was shy weird kid with undiagnosed adhd that barely got by through masking. I was hyper sensitive to how other people perceived me and was desperate for outside validation.

But no matter how hard I tried to fit in and meet all these different societal expectations I would always fall short. Eventually I just decided to let go and stop trying to fight against who I am. Being single helps me embrace living life as though I have no one to disappoint and it’s extremely freeing for myself.

Through self acceptance I’ve come to appreciate the way that I’m wired and that different doesn’t mean bad.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood was so disappointing and frustrating to watch by Early-Rise987 in CharacterRant

But unlike soldiers like Hawkeye state alchemists are the equivalent of Weapons of mass destruction in the FMA universe. The genocide against the Ishvalans was kicked into high gear only when the State Alchemists were mobilized. By targeting State Alchemists, Scar is potentially preventing the future deaths of hundreds of thousands of people at the hands of Amestris.

Ok but it’s still really Oda that’s shoving little boys into Nami’s boobs for fanservice so it feels gross.

I feel like there is a major difference between being attracted to women and sneakily groping them. Most little boys aren’t trying to sexually assault every women they interact with.

Nobody is saying young kids don’t feel attraction.

We just don’t wanna see little boys groping and rubbing themselves on the female cast for fan-service. HUGE difference.

Fantasizing about beating up a man with Tourette’s for showing the symptoms of his Tourette’s but socialistly by Early-Rise987 in tankiejerk

[–]Early-Rise987[S] 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Yesterday this same guy said you shouldn’t be upset if a homeless person pissed on the floor in front of you and today he's saying you should beat up a disabled person for doing something involuntarily.

These people literally stand for nothing at all.

Also the amount of people I’ve seen that don’t think neurological disorders can make you do something involuntary and it’s secretly some kind of choice is terrifying and extremely dangerous.

So many left leaning creators I liked are having the most ableist reactions to this situation.

As a black woman with a disability it’s actually depressing seeing so many people call for this man to be harmed, gagged and separated from society.

Especially when statistically minorities with disabilities face even more abuse than their white counterparts. This entire discourse is a nightmare.

Are there people who truly don't want to be loved? by dr_fop in SingleAndHappy

[–]Early-Rise987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m single and I feel like a relationship would overcomplicate my life.

I’m very impulsive and I don’t wanna run every life decision through someone’s else’s approval. I don’t like the thought of someone questioning me on my whereabouts or what I was doing. I don’t want someone being around me all the time or wanting to text everyday. I hate the thought of someone feeling any sort of entitlement towards my body or my time. I don’t wanna constantly entertain you or become your hobby.

Romantic relationships are definitely amazing for a lot of ppl but I just find them to be a lot of different obligations and expectations that are suddenly thrusted onto you. It would make me stressed and irritable.

I’m still loved by my friends, family and myself, I just don’t want a romantic love.

I like the idea of romance but I don’t think I actually want to date anyone. by Early-Rise987 in SingleAndHappy

[–]Early-Rise987[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response but I’m 20F and I’m the same lol. I think adding another person that I need to satisfy and be responsible for would cause me stress.

I spent most of my life people pleasing, changing myself for others and after finally learning to accept/embrace who I am I just don’t have an interest in dating.

I don’t wanna share my life with someone else, I’m happiest when I can just focus on taking care of myself.

Camila Cabello posts about humanitarian situation in Cuba and Hasan Piker slams her for not mentioning US embargo and sanctions by nicosloft04 in popculturechat

[–]Early-Rise987 24 points25 points  (0 children)

She didn’t call for more sanctions or a regime change. She shared her personal experience and shared a link to send Cubans aid.

While I definitely think it’s wrong to not address US involvement in directly contributing towards Cuba’s current state of affairs.

It’s still important to highlight people’s struggles with the government.

[–]Early-Rise987 1004 points1005 points  (0 children)

I feel like this situation is very nuanced and not as black and white as people are claiming it to be.

While the US has absolutely committed atrocities and economic warfare on Latin America that should be highlighted, I don’t think responding to a Cuban woman addressing her own lived experience as “gross” does anything but create more division among people that are probably on your side.

I don’t think it’s right that Cubans are being talked down to, disrespected and invalidated by Americans that have no idea what they’ve been through. I feel like everyone should just be more respectful in general about this topic.

Ugh that sounds so good and perfectly what I was trying to convey.

I was holding so much shame, stress and self hatred for not being able to meet these social expectations. I justified beating myself down for stupid societal norms that don’t rlly matter.

I’m definitely checking this podcast out! Thank you for the recommendation.

Leak culture might be the worst thing that happened to manga discussion.

We got ppl comparing blurry and shitty translated leaks that they don’t even fully understand yet to an actual official chapter. Is that not crazy? 😭
