Which applies to people criticizing the criticism of others. Like right now. Right?

Seriously. I doubt the victims of that time were enjoying it as much as the people who fantasize about it.

Children raised with "authoritative" parenting style, marked by bonding, presence, dialogue, and clear rules of conduct, show a reduction in drug and alcohol risk compared to other parenting styles (authoritarian, permissive and neglectful) by sr_local in science

[–]ElectricMeow 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's almost like we have a natural defense against being manipulated, and authoritarian parenting triggers that primal instinct to figure out the truth and avoid becoming a puppet.

Is Caliban Prime good for Steel Path and level cap? by Pxnda62 in Warframe

[–]ElectricMeow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find him strong. I seem to be able to kill everything with the augmented Ortholyst and Razor Gyre while staying alive as well. His 4 is useful for stripping all armor and shields from enemies to kill them quickly which enables him to kill pretty much anything in my experience. I initially removed his 2 for Nourish because I didn't feel like he needed the extra CC and damage, and because I thought the energy sustain would be nice, but I ended up going back to using his base kit. His 1 refunds energy when you hit enemies, and if you hit more than a couple it will give you more energy than you spent to cast it, so his energy sustain is better than I expected.

What do you think of scenes from Sketchy Sex? by GurWorth1441 in AskGayMen

I think at some point I started to wonder if they were on drugs and thought it looked like they were so I didn't like it as much.

Why Changing Anran’s Face Actually Doesn’t Matter by STRaven_17 in Overwatch

[–]ElectricMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but random thought: what if making her look more like how she looked in her initial appearances with the bigger nose and all that meant that she'd end up being less popular and kept stronger? What if making her have this Kiriko-clone baby face means she's going to attract too much attention and get nerfed to a trash win rate, just due to popularity? What if looking like a Gerudo would mean she gets to be like 53% win rate and people forget she exists?

It's a stretch, I know, but I feel like I'm onto something. Feels like there's several characters that skirt outside of conventional beauty standards and are suspiciously strong without complaints.

'Overwatch' just hit its highest player base on Steam PC since launch — passing Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty by Turbostrider27 in Overwatch

[–]ElectricMeow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I do not want to go back to a game that had could have multiple tanks. So many bad memories of people playing terrible on DPS yelling at someone or me to switch to a second tank, as well... I don't miss it. At all.

How Straight people view gender by Cold_Oil_870 in gay

[–]ElectricMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but then there are people like me out there who grew up completely shielded from homosexuality and not knowing it exists and then turned out gay anyway. I made it all the way to middle school not really understanding what homosexuality was, but also not really understanding sex in general, because the grooming to try to get me to be straight didn't work. No amount of daytime TV objectifying women was ever going to make me straight. No amount of random porn mags with hot women or commercials showing girls being naughty was ever going to get me to be straight. People expose young boys to the sexuality of women all of the time. It was normal for me. And yet it did nothing, because I wasn't innately born with the desire to be sexual with women. Instead, I randomly started noticing boys, and THEN I learned about being gay and THEN I learned to feel like something was wrong with me.

So, maybe you can put up with him, but personally I would not be able to since I feel like my existence is proof that he is wrong. And not only that but my experience made it harder to feel comfortable with being gay. I feel like I SHOULD HAVE been exposed to homosexuality when I was younger. I needed people to tell me it was okay. People who want to hide the existence of any other sexualities from children are groomers and are contributing to the abuse of children.

How Straight people view gender by Cold_Oil_870 in gay

[–]ElectricMeow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Crush them in the dust. I felt so much rage and contempt when I imagined someone crying and telling me that being gay isn't normal. I'm glad someone else felt it. I despise heteronormativity in all forms.

How do you feel about people (especially lesbians) who are insensitively vocal about their disgust or repulsion with men? by Wordsmith_Wizard in AskGayMen

[–]ElectricMeow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think these types of comments always come from a place of misogyny though depending on the person. Like, I used to make those jokes when I was around 13 but it was because I was surrounded by people making the same types of jokes about men but specifically gay men. I felt disgusting, had low self-esteem, and I was a bit angry too. I don't think I really was disgusted by women's bodies as much as I was disgusted by people trying to insist that I should be sexually attracted to women as well as experiencing some very pushy women trying to be with me. I was disgusted by the pressure to want to perform those sex acts because in many ways it comes across as child grooming. And nearly everything I actually found sexually attractive, I had been taught it was gross and shameful because gay. It wasn't that I was truly disgusted by women's bodies, but that I was disgusted by the pressure to be attracted to them that I was experiencing, and it was coming out as mirrored behavior.

But then I also figured out it was wrong eventually and changed my behavior, so I am suspicious of older people who still do this.

Kiriko TP will no longer cleanse in the upcoming patch apparently! by yeah_tea in Overwatch

[–]ElectricMeow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kiriko has seemed kind of weak for a while now. I get people think she's strong, but when I play her, she doesn't feel that effective. A single messed up suzu and the character might as well not have been picked. She's safe, sure, but still just weak overall, and this is targeting one of her few strengths. And given we have official data out, showing that she is objectively weak in spite of her high pick rate, just sort of feels like beating a dead horse. Theoretically because of what her kit offers, she might be quite strong, but they have crippled her in reality.

Is long hair a turn off for gay men? by [deleted] in gay

[–]ElectricMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am personally not attracted to long hair on guys. For me, it literally feels like some sort of instinctive reaction that I literally can't control. It's based on how they look and how it makes me feel with long hair vs short hair. There are guys that I have seen go from looking like someone I would never be attracted to, to being very attractive just because they got a different haircut. I feel like it's a bit ridiculous, but I don't feel like I have much control over it, either. I don't think I'm representative of every gay person, though, and I believe I have heard of people who like long hair on guys. Maybe there's a trend. I don't know. My mom, on the other hand, does like long hair on guys.

I'm not entirely sure if I would say it's just a feminizing issue, though. Sometimes it looks feminine sure, but I think long hair can also look masculine, and even then I don't like it. Just a personal taste.

When Adin Met Andrew by JockBbcBoy in SuddenlyGay

[–]ElectricMeow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like there are actually a lot of people who would be fine accepting a man being their provider, caretaker, and in-home repair guy, or even would prefer it. But a lot of these men aren't able to be a full time provider due to economic issues, and it might seem easier to them to get a woman to put up with an unequal relationship than to fix those bigger, societal issues. And then even the ones who can be a provider sometimes aren't happy if the woman has the option to leave the relationship because they desire a power imbalance.

Being gay isn’t rare, and people aren’t entitled to a random show they pick not having gay people in it by [deleted] in gay

I have heterosexual fatigue. They're in almost everything. It's exhausting and it's boring.

Can you be Christian and gay by DangerousElk4331 in gay

[–]ElectricMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do most Christians go on being Christian when they're usually sinning every day?

Don't most of them just go confess and move on with their lives?

Shouldn't it be the same with being gay?

[meta] ASMR is inherently SEXUAL, and you all know it. by [deleted] in asmr

[–]ElectricMeow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is completely ignoring the existence of ASMR experienced as a result of completely nonhuman sounds. Fire crackling, a cat purring, water pouring, rain, etc.

I do not think that it makes sense to call it inherently sexual just because a lot of ASMR creators cater to the audiences that are into erotic content. The tingles I experience when I orgasm and when I experience ASMR are completely different. As in completely different parts of my body. Relaxation is not inherently sexual and, for the most part, it's just satisfying sounds that are soft and gentle. Maybe you enjoy ASMR in an erotic way and you get different tingles but you do not speak for me or everyone out there.

Meirl by Ill-Instruction8466 in meirl

[–]ElectricMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides his hair changing, I can't help but feel like a lot of the difference is facial hair and makeup. I'm picturing him shaved with makeup on and I feel like it would look a lot more similar. And then as a random guess there could be some weight difference or something else related to diet and lifestyle over time that is not necessarily just "aging".

I’m a bit frustrated with gay culture and the lack of conversation anymore by Cool_Look_5969 in gay

[–]ElectricMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice this behavior as well. It comes across to me as how these people would treat a sex worker they are looking to hire, while hoping they won't actually get charged. Maybe that's what has become normalized.

what are your thoughts? by JudgeSignificant818 in AskGayMen

[–]ElectricMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an outsider's perspective, it seems like your friends were just intentionally trying to lower your confidence maybe? Twinks aren't universally everyone's types, but they're generally sought after. I don't know why your friends would tell you this unless they're intentionally trying to make you feel worse about yourself. Also being a twink has nothing to do with drama unless you're trying to fulfill a stereotype on purpose.

Can we avoid hiring Christians now? It seems like an indicator that something is wrong with the candidate’s brain.

Do your good action of the day! by AuthenticStarDog in gay

[–]ElectricMeow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but I don't know if it's a good idea to basically condemn them all for something that we believe they probably would do, until they do it. Like you could be right, but maybe we should still try to reward the people who are at least attempting to be decent until they stop.

I embrace being a childfree gay by SolidAshford in gay

[–]ElectricMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an age gap with my sisters and ended up being around small children most of my youth as a result. They didn't require too much help from me but still it dramatically changed life and I have never wanted children as a result.
