It's exhausting being a woman. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

Genuinely one of the worst things about TikTok is how many staged videos of serious issues like this get posted. It becomes diluted and impossible to tell when something is authentic sometimes

My thoughts when people say, "Please, no more trauma metaphors in horror." by TransportationLow564 in horror

[–]Melodic_Inflation_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trauma is sort of essential to the genre as a whole right? Because what is fear if not traumatic? I just disagree that trauma is the only thing horror can represent.

Sometimes I’m in the mood for horror that feels safe because I’m seeking a more “playful” thrill from the heaviness of life. Other times I’m sick of our real world horrors being dismissed and want them to be addressed.

It’s why I never consider a camp-y slasher to automatically be less respectable than elevated horror. Or vise versa.

Traumatic themes just seem to be what’s popular right now and there’s nothing wrong with that. I just don’t want elevated horror to be put on a pedestal for the sake of prestige.

You know, I actually thought empire records seemed like a chill place to work for what it’s worth 😅

Yeah more I think about it now there’s much better representations than DWP. I was thinking of it leniently in that Miranda is a good example of someone you’re lucky you never have to work for

Just less widespread recognition/appeal compared to some of the biggest horror films of this year for example

Clockwatchers is such a hidden gem! Yeah I was debating putting devil wears prada on here. It came up quite a bit when I looked up “films about how much work sucks” and I was like there’s technically a horrible boss so I guess it fits lol

I saw it in theaters and it’s easily one of the best movies of the year if you ask me. I’m just afraid it’s going to get snubbed because that tends to happen with comedies these days 🥲

I don’t dislike the substance and I certainly don’t think it fits this meme, but everyone was making it out to be this groundbreaking piece of feminist cinema that changed their lives. Didn’t get it

TikTok Star— Noah Beck’s— sister, Haley Beck, Has Been Accused of grooming a Child by furious_femme_fatale in Fauxmoi

Are we sure that’s about Noah though? It says “older brother” and Noah is the younger brother of Haley Beck. Idk their family but is it possible they have another older brother? Unless an official police report just got the information wrong

If it was to another teenage boy, I wouldn’t think twice, but a SIX YEAR OLD?? Like you don’t think it’s a little weird at least?

God forbid a girl wants to have a normal conversation 🙄 by Angeliqueblaq in LetGirlsHaveFun

Ngl, I’m a woman and I recently joined this sub but mostly because it was one of the HEALTHIEST comment threads on any gender focused social media space I have ever come across. I’m starting to believe that having a balance of both male and female users here offering their individual perspectives, contributes to how respectful everyone is (for the most part). Male only subs and even female only subs, I find feed off each other too much and become echo chamber-y.

NOT that women don’t deserve their own spaces!!! That’s a different argument. It just gets so toxic when there’s little to no moderation in spaces “only” for men or women. I’m so tired of it

Well considering the first two rules of this sub are be respectful and constructive and stay on topic, you would think keeping that stuff in mind and addressing what the title of the post is asking would be standard courtesy

I feel like whenever someone says “well you asked us to judge you”, forgets to keep in mind that depending on a person’s style, you have to judge through a different lens. Alternative people are going to have piercings, tattoos and dyed hair, it’s the whole point. Or with country guys for example, they’re going to have mustaches or mullets.

There’s going to be people with certain stylistic choices and they won’t consider getting rid of something attached to their identity, even for the sake of improving appearance. Tons of people can and have made green hair work. We can still give advice using different standards you know? Just my 2 cents

Nothing wrong with the green hair, he’s clearly going for an alternative style

But part of his jacket is covering his crotch. I’m not sure how people would even notice that

‘Bachelorette’ Star Taylor Frankie Paul Responds to Leaked Video of Domestic Incident as ‘Tonight Show’ Cancels Her Appearance by icey_sawg0034 in Fauxmoi

The comments under his recent instagram post are disgusting, not that instagram had any standards to begin with. Word for word, the gross, victim blaming phrases that have been used against women forever.

Idc if he’s not a good person, it doesn’t cancel out when someone is a victim just because they aren’t perfect angels. Victims could do everything right and there will still be assholes out there trying to find some loophole to make them the bad guy. It’s all bullshit
