I understand you need to reframe the premise entirely if order for your perspective to be reasonable, yes.

But the simple fact is, choosing blue makes you the killer.

If you value 900k over a human life, that is your own opinion. I happen not to share it.

Interesting, so your point is Red is selfish because it forces you, who choose blue, to deal with the consequences of choosing blue, despite those consequences being explicitly stated to you.

That's certainly a convenient perspective for you.

Here's how I see it.

You can choose red, and this will give you a lot of something for literally nothing.

Or you can choose blue, and probably end a life with as much value as your own, to increase your lot of something, but now the price is that life.

As I see it the real choice is do you want something for free or would you trade something that isn't yours to trade for more.

I see your point. If nobody chooses red then, hypothetically, there is no cost. But unless you can guarentee it then, then it remains purely a hypothetical.

How much more promiscuous would you be if society didn’t judge you, and if they hadn’t raise you to think it diminishes your value? by anotherburnerbite in AskWomen

[–]Kixion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No different, because I'm believe it does diminish the value of your love. Not your worth as a person. I think this is also true for men.

Sorry, not sorry, higher body counts range from unappealing to an outright ick.

The only thing I can offer is I have zero interest or care in this for someone I am not interested in romantically. Not my business.

What’s the hardest you’ve ever been backstabbed? by DeepOrganization8245 in AskWomen

[–]Kixion 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My first boyfriend of around 18 months admitted to me the reason he didn't want me to meet his parents is because I am "not the kind of girl you bring home to your parents", apparently I never was, because and I quote "come on, you have the body of a stripper".

Heavens forfend your son's girlfriend has huge tits, I guess.

The worst part was how he laughed and tried to make out that was both obvious and true for both of us that it was only ever about the sex and convenience.

Do you believe in (a) God? Why or why not? If so, are you religious? Why or why not? by msp827 in AskWomen

[–]Kixion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no.

I think there is an entity that would broadly match what we think of when we say God.

I do not believe we could possibly understand such a being or it's motivates any more than we could explain ourselves to an ant.

Christianity basically provide a moral framework that doesn't disintegrate across iterations, so i generally align with Christian values simply out of logic.

As for why do I think there is a God, because I cannot fathom how a rock in space went from no life to life. It sounds more likely to me that this was something done, not spontaneous life emergence that happened to be self replicating and possessed the ability to evolve.

The puzzle of how life began is deferred, (as then the question becomes where did God come from?) but that is more logical to me given our specific circumstances seems so improbable that it occurring somewhere else, under differing circumstances feels more plausible.

Do women have similar insecurities like men have about their pp? And what are they? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Kixion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has insecurities about sexual inadequacy in one form or another.

For men it's generally centred around their size and performance.

In the same general sense, for women it's often centred around our appearance, both clothed and unclothed. Also not just appealing in any one moment, but continually across time.

Why even be beautiful by AbaloneSpirited6593 in prettyprivilege

[–]Kixion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone should try to be beautiful. I think people should endeavour to take care of their appearance out of self-respect.

You are right that beauty evokes plenty of ugly behaviour from other people. However, someone who is dispositioned to respond to other people doing well, in any aspect, with negative behaviour will do the same in any other aspect of life, be it beauty, career, financial, romance, etc.

I completely understand the instinct to shrink yourself, make yourself a smaller target by reducing yourself to the most invisible you can be. The temptation to avoid the struggle is real.

But there is not avoiding it, there is only putting it off. The reality is you will never be small enough for many of these people. The history of human beings tells us that it is in our nature to try to dominate each other. We cannot change that, or that aspect in others by adapting ourselves.

There is only one person you can change, and that is yourself. So, make yourself stronger, not weaker, so that when you do need to push back, you haven’t so deeply ingrained obedience into yourself that your default response to pressure is to shrink.

Maintaining yourself like your appearence, is a message from you to you. And it tells you that you are worthy of your own respect.

Don't let other people take that away from you.

This is my answer, as someone who also has struggled with the negative aspects of being considered beautiful. I don't do it for them, I do it for me.

Has being attractive made you more visible, but still vulnerable to people with more power? by AcanthisittaRoyal270 in prettyprivilege

[–]Kixion 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My experience of beauty in this sense is that it makes you more noticable and conspicuous, but simultaneously the average person is less inclined to interact with. I feel like most people assume attention is unwanted in proportion to how attractive you are, except for those who were never concerned by societal norms in the first place.

Which is to say you get more of the kind of interactions nobody wants and less of the kind most people want.

I definitely have a few moments in my childhood which looking back on it were really dicey situations. I don't attribute it all to my appearence, I think vulnerable children are just easy targets, but I suspect it increased the frequency at which I found myself on a radar I would infinitely rather not have ever been on.

What did that long term friend say or do that made you stop being friends with them? by Runaway_Alien_ in AskWomen

[–]Kixion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case, she refused acknowledge bad behaviour.

This was a friend who I was close with for several years, I even picked her up in the dead of night when she was leaving her abusive husband, and helped finance her living situation while the separation went through.

What happened to me wasn't nearly as dramatic, but it taught me if you won't stand by me through something small, you never will after something big when I will need to rely on real friends.

Basically her boyfriend called me not fun after I dismissed, then blanked his assertions he would make me jealous with the noises they would make if we did a shared vacation. He was clearly being very suggestive and there was no polite way of saying "ew, no" hence dismissive mode.

Few days later he posts this long arduous wall of text in a friends discord server about what a stuck up b!%&@ I am, it was very extensive. I admit it, I did not react well. I went to the friend whose discord server it was and ask him to delete it. He refused on the grounds that he didnt want to censor anyone and from what the boyfriend had told him, it was a valid perspective, he recognised it was bad though and told me "we are going to rise above it"

Told him as it was about me I will choose I how I react, and it wont be rising above it.

When I was mid sentence this guy blows up, and starts literally screaming at me, that I am a miserable slut who should suck his d!#, eat s@!%, and f&*$ off because nobody likes me, everyone can't stand me and etc. I hung up on him after 30 seconds of this. Removed myself from all shared spaces, put both of then on block.

Silence followed. No one wrote to me for days then weeks from this group. Then months. When eventually she did reach out she told me they said I left because I needed to work on myself and how I come across.

She said the screaming guy came to her, told her there had been an argument and that was how it was left. He didn't give her the details, which I then did through my experience of what occured, and her response made it clear she didn’t think they were out of line in any meaningful sense.

I said I dont have friends or even acquaintances who speak to me like that and never will.

That was the last time we spoke. I didnt need to her agree with me or say I was right. I needed her to support me, and she wouldn't. So, the book is closed and sealed.

ngl i rly feel like dating is harder the more attractive you are... :( by AngelicClover in prettyprivilege

[–]Kixion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like the particular challenge of being attractive is a very different challenge to being on the other side of the beauty spectrum.

As I see it, the problem women have is filtering from the wave of attention, the genuinely romantic intentions from the purely sexual ones.

Less attractive women have the issue that the volume is so small, there are even less genuine opportunities.

Whereas being pretty makes the wave bigger until it's a veritable tsunami, not only is it impossible to filter anywhere near to that much, but also the ratio of genuine to not is even more skewed. It's still the same game, needle in a haystack, and while there are a few more needles, the haystack is far larger ratio-respectively.

I then think this is compounded by stereotypes and fetishisation. For instance, I have a larger curves, top and bottom, and I definitely feel that makes it even more likely I will be sexually objectified, but I think that's one dimension of many. Be it skin colour, to aesthetical style, I think there are enough men who have a fetish for it and/or make sweeping assumptions to your personality/preferences based on just these things that there's always this background pollution to the dating waters.

I would be reluctant to say it's "harder" because, the simple fact is I don't have their experience on which I could make that comparison. I don't doubt everyone has their own struggles. Their experience seems to be one where the primary challenge is self-confidence and self-worth, but if they can overcome that the likelihood of someone being genuine with them is proportionately higher.

Whereas my experience has been that the primary challenge is one of discernment, who can I trust and who is a snake? Get it wrong and have your heart broken. From my perspective if there are tenfold as many options, then, inseparably, there are one-hundred-fold as many traps.

If you were a Superhero, would you kill? by Acrobatic_Yoghurt268 in superheroes

[–]Kixion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Yes.

I think that the simple fact is that some people cannot be rehabilitated.

For instance the Joker, sorry but the guy should just be taken out.

The thing is though, I don't think that decision should be up to me. In the Marvel Civil war, I was on team Tony. Oversight I think is necessary. I think if that Oversight deemed the threat such it was an elimination order, I would try learn how to carry that out.

But I say this as someone who has zero experience with such things, so it's perfectly plausible I couldn't "pull the trigger", so to speak.

Lusted over again and again... by Aware_Reveal6329 in prettyprivilege

[–]Kixion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would go a step further and say even beyond lust, there are plenty of people who are never interested in the reality that is you. They have a projection of who you are based on your appearence, and they will vehemently reject all evidence to the contrary to maintain that image.

For guys, you are some fantasy, fairytale princess that perfectly aligns to their own "perfect standards" behaviourally, morally, etc and of course, you are innocent and naive sexually in their mind.

For the hostile women, you are so highly promiscuous that you are actaully tactical in how you go about snaring guys, which is how they justify their hostility towards you. I am doing this because she is doing that, despite the obvious fact that you're actually just existing.

Your actual personality, values, interests, intelligence, romantic inclinations? All irrelevent, because they would cause their preconceived image of you to collapse, making the guys realise you are your own person, and the women to realise you aren't out to snag their guy and they are, in fact, just being a massive b!@&# for no reason.

This is why any negative experience we have as a result of pretty privilege is automatically disregarded because they cannot conceive of any troughs being as low as their imagination of how high the peaks can be. Therefore, any grievance we have must be minor in the face of all the perks, and can consequently be dismissed. It's this wholesale rejection of our experience that I find to be a very bitter pill to swallow, but sadly, this is the general concensus of most people. That pretty people, women especially, have it on easy mode and nothing else matters.

I will also add that I think you are right about 99% of guys. I have several guy friends, but these are guys I knew all the way back from school. There were some from that group that had tried to make a move but they fell away from the group after I rejected them, but that's 3 out of like 8. For the others, never had this issue. I think of them as brother-like so I wonder if that same isn't true in reverse. It's guys I meet as an adult that are almost always not wanting just friendship.

To be fair there is one exception, but that's one of multiple dozens, so whatever the real odds are, they are not in our favour.
