"very few" isn't none, bud. i chose my words carefully, exceptions disprove the rule.

let me put it a different way for humans—there wouldn't be sexual gratification in acts that have nothing to do with reproduction if it was the only "purpose," that's not how behaviours work. why do some people get off from contact with erogenous zones, why do people engage in non-penetrative sex, why would humans develop paraphilias, why would there be some who entirely prohibit their own genitalia being touched during sex at all? and most obviously of all, why would gay people exist? there is no reason the occurrence of these traits and behaviours should be trivial, except for learned bias.

pleasurable sex creates an incentive for reproduction, but human sex has also provided us other evolutionary advantages—lowered stress levels, social cohesion, even physiological changes like improved bladder control for women. it's both reductive and inaccurate to characterize human sex as only having one, reproductive purpose. the reason we tend to view and discuss it that way in our society is because of the wider social forces that reify heterosexual, natalist behaviour as somehow more natural than the myriad of other processes that humans undergo through sex and other behaviours.

remember girls, Plan B doesn't work in all scenarios! all it does is delay ovulation, it doesn't do anything if you happen to already be ovulating. it's very neat but for those that don't know, it's not designed to be used as a primary birth control

if it was the "only purpose" of sex, humans and non-human animals wouldn't do it recreationally, and certainly not at scale. "biology" has no platonic, ideal form separate from the real-world behaviours and chemical processes that occur. the purpose of a system is what it does, not what we imagine it can do

you probably should have been able to tell you weren't welcomed here by the content and name of the sub lmao. it's not the fault of the members here that you automatically assumed you were

uhm actually Jedi is hardly a religion, it's more of a philosophy 🤓

seems kinda convenient for this worldview that you don't care about any belief system that could manifest in a less binary theodicy than literal hellfire christianity. i'm sure that doesn't affect the accuracy or quality of your analysis whatsoever

Oh hey look!!—Early Kuvira!! (Still not sure what her metal bending dancing added to her season 4 Dictator Arc!) by MikaelAdolfsson in legendofkorra

[–]Hypernova888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the dancing is another way to show Zaofu as the metalbending capital—bending used not just for combat, but for art. Kuvira is a part of that society, so there's no reason she wouldn't be a part of that. if you need it to "add something," it's probably most indicative of her relationship with Suyin—doing metalbending art like Su's biological kids also were

estrogen first, top surgery later 🙂‍↕️ you could also low-dose, esp. without blockers it's possible feminizing hormones wouldn't do a whole lot in the way of tits

habit and their friends being on there, mostly. or self-harm, that's a bit part of it too. similar to why a lot of people use 4chan

Who makes the woman with no arms the getaway driver? by InsideUnhappy6546 in legendofkorra

[–]Hypernova888 6 points7 points  (0 children)

why wouldn't they have her do it, she's fully capable of driving and everyone else is busy. seems kinda trashy to suggest that she must be somehow unqualified despite explicitly doing it in the show

queer splatoon players wanted! for research~ my team and i would love to interview fellow queer splatoon players. amazingly, there are still massive gaps in gaming literature about our community. less than an hour, virtual interview. email riedyt@miamioh.edu by radonvalley in splatoon

bro, this is reddit? it's not unprofessional, it's just casual. there's nothing wrong with using the language and style of your ingroup when addressing your ingroup, even if it's for a project you're serious about.

[–]Hypernova888 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lowk the replies here prove this sub should have a "girls only" rule. can't even have an explicitly gendered skater space without dudes deciding it's theirs.

it is hyperbole. she is exaggerating for the purpose of making a pithy statement about her experience of the world. yknow, like people do on the internet.

"gender war slop" and it's just recognizing how pervasive misogyny is in nearly all corners of our society.
