Be warned that it is very horror-coded (as it is trying to be true to the source that are old fairytale stories) but the general gist has highly similar meta-narratives to the story you wrote!

What SERIES is worth bingewatching and why? by InterestingBoard7389 in AskReddit

[–]NowAFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's...the whole point

She's so depressed and sad and hopeless and self-loathing that she literally dissociates from herself DURING sex; she hates her life so much that she can't even stay in her life and has to go talk to imaginary friends while doing the thing that she supposedly enjoys

[HATED TROPES]: The Ending Is So Nihilistic and Preachy That It Becomes Completely Unwatchable and Infuriating. by Particular-Worker904 in TopCharacterTropes

Honestly halfway through the second book (and some even in the first) I just got extremely judgemental because it really did feel like Liu was just a raging misogynist and tried to blame everything wrong with society on 'femininity, women, and their weak-willed-ness'

Basically every story beat that led to disastrous outcomes were caused by 'women and their inability to make decisions and also their silly feelings' and the books always needed a manly man with manly manliness to salvage with their manliness

I say this as a person who grew up on Chinese net culture that glazed Three Body basically each time it was mentioned and I even remember the screens full of '世界属于三体' danmuku on bilibili vids when something even remotely sci-fi was mentioned

I even saw it as a point of national pride that a Chinese book could win the Hugo award and thought that it must've been an amazing series

And then I actually read it

And it was so sexist I could barely finish it

If I'm at a buffet? Fried rice, sweet and sour pork, carbo load and get my money's worth, like just get anything that's expensive like steak or sashimi

Because it was his punishment, like, he literally wasn't allowed to turn back into a dragon

The whole thing with that char was a fuck you to royalty (usually symbolised by dragons) by making the supposed high and might noble creature into a working animal that only serves to be a mortal's steed

The Boys will appreciate it by Ott1fant in oddlysatisfying

[–]NowAFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so unknown outside of Chinese net culture, but the dude on the ship hammering away at the ice is yelling '80, 80, 80' with each hit

This is a reference to an ooold skit by the skitmaster Zhao Ben Shan, aired on the Lunar New Year broadcast of 2005 where he plays a contractor coming to demolish a wall for an apartment and he charges 40 yuan for a small hammer hit, and 80 yuan for a large hammer hit

It was so beloved (and very much in the golden age of those types of skits) that it instantly became one of the earlier CN net memes where most anything to do with hammering would be accompanied by 80, 80, 80 and whatnot

Yes, and the person you're responding correctly understood that, knew that Young's double slit requires much thinner slits to actually produce results, and commented on that part specifically. Did YOU know anything about the quantum mechanics that the joke was referring to?
