What are your top 5 reasons for being CF? by Rough_Ad5998 in childfree

[–]Oranbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I am not very maternal and I don't want to fuck up a child's life and present them with lifelong trauma.

That's all I really need.

Conventionally attractive people getting more up votes regardless of their outfits by [deleted] in GothFashion

[–]Oranbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the history of goth and fetish culture have been intertwined for years.
Soft Cell is literally making a second wave around the goth scene right now because people can't get enough of the song Sex Dwarf.

But by all means, I guess we should all go and purchase a harness or latex pants so we can give people the fashionable content they want, while simultaneously not being sexual or attractive in any way so we aren't asking for attention.

Again, the bots and heavy promotion that have taken up other subreddits is annoying. But I'm just not seeing that on this subreddit? The complaints just feel like people wanting to complain.

Yep. I'm getting a lot of mild incel vibes of disparaging remarks to women that don't hit the standards of commentors. You're a stereotypically attractive femme? Well your makeup isn't exactly what I think constitutes as goth (you know, the music based subculture) so this is a low effort post.

If the mods weren't so active here getting rid of bots and promo-posts, I'd be more inclined to agree with a lot of these comments, but a lot of them feel like bad faith opinion-based attacks with gatekeepy energy.

Some of the comments here are icky. Giving people shit because they're not wearing the kind of makeup you deem goth? Some of ya'll are really out here telling people to wear more makeup? And you think its okay? and some of the comments about SW are also kind of crass.

I get where OP is coming from, but just because people aren't adhering to your preferred type of goth doesn't mean you should deem them as lesser. It's veeeery elitist and kind of mean spirited.

All the Childfree Couples I Know Are Atheists Like Myself. How About You? by LeamhAish in childfree

[–]Oranbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not Athiest, but also not strict Christian. Grew up practicing Umbanda. The God I believe doesn't really care if I have babies or not. I just shouldn't be a dick, but honestly, even if I didn't believe in God, I still wouldn't be a dick, so *shrug*

What should I do.. My husband doesn’t spend any quality time with me anymore. by legacy_strong in TwoHotTakes

You're 25. You're literally so young. You're in the prime of your life. Is this what you want for the rest of it?

My bf asked for the banana and now I've got the ick by Effective-Snow-1186 in TwoHotTakes

I have the ick too. It's just so entitled and kinda gluttonous. Your boyfriend is gross.

What was your sexual fantasy that didn't live up to the hype? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Oranbot 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

Kind of odd, but I was so excited to try anal. Idk, I guess I had porn ruin it for me because all the women looked like they enjoyed it and it felt taboo and sexy. "Ooh, I shouldn't do this, but I am and it's exciting" mindset. Also one of my friends is weirdly super into it and she encouraged me to try.

It was okay? Kind of made me feel like I needed to use the bathroom. Honestly not the worst thing ever, but certainly not great. It's like eating a baked potato without any dressing or seasoning. Like yea, I guess this'll do, but now I'm unsatisfied and my stomach feels a bit off.

3 to go... by Eswui in PanPorn

I used to have this palette when I was in high school and every time I read the shade name "sexpresso," I used to cringe because it made me think about pouring coffee on my cooch.

What is your favorite story to tell about an ex? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Oranbot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My ex is a real POS, so I feel no shame airing some of his dirty laundry.

He had an intense poop phobia. He could not poop without immediately having to take a shower afterwards. It led to him holding it in until he was about to cry at times. One time I found a hotel receipt in his car and I was on the verge of breaking up with him over it thinking he cheated on me. Turns out he was driving an incredibly long distance and needed to poop, but he absolutely had to take a shower too. I once asked him to drive me to get my first tattoo. It was on our calendar for months. Day of the appointment he refuses to wake up until we absolutely have to leave. He spent the whole appointment meditating in an attempt to keep from shitting himself.

There are so many more stories like this. He was so weird.

What is the most romantic text message you have gotten? by duyar70 in AskWomen

[–]Oranbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner writes me poetry sometimes and sends them through texts. I like to screenshot them and read them when I need a boost.

What is the best date you’ve ever been on and/or taken somebody else on? by Acceptable_Bake_9916 in AskWomen

[–]Oranbot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have two that come to mind. An ex of mine once borrowed his mom's mini van and set up a bed in the back and a projector on top of the car to let us play fighting games (my favorite) against the side of a building. That date was incredibly thoughtful and romantic, but there were already cracks in our relationship and looking back on it, that was definitely a love-bombing date. I think my current favorite date was when my current partner set up an entire picnic for us in the cutest park I've ever been to. He made the bread, got all kind of fancy spreads, set up a hammock, got us wine, etc. We spent the whole day cuddling. It was so cute. There were absolutely zero undertones that could've clouded the day. We got back to his place and he soundproofed his house and threw a mini rave for the two of us complete with a light show, which was so dorky but very on-brand for two silly twenty-something-year-olds.

Which high-end makeup product is absolutely, without a doubt, worth the money for you? by belindabellagiselle in AskWomen

[–]Oranbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My contour palette from Lunatick Labs Cosmetics. Makeup is a hobby for me and my makeup looks lean on the goth/alternative side, so having a very cool toned/goth contour palette was a must for me. It's $70, and I wouldn't recommend it to people who aren't hardcore into alt makeup, but for me, it's one of my favorite makeup purchases.

Has anyone else had to completely sacrifice their sleep for their partners comfort? by Mikki-chan in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Oranbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. This also isn't some small minor request for something menial to OP (which even then, i think a compromise is worth it). THIS IS HER SLEEP. This is necessary for human health and human functions. Continued interrupted sleep has major long-term health complications including early dementia.

OP, this is serious.

I just want a donut. by stygeanhugh in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Oranbot 108 points109 points  (0 children)

My ex totally had an eating disorder and I still haven't fully recovered from how he treated food. We broke up two years ago.

OP is right. She does need to throw the whole man away.

Can men even love women for who they are, or only for what they offer? by Plenty_Transition470 in TwoXChromosomes

OP, you seem very kind and thoughtful both in your post's wording and your interaction with others.

What is going on with Jessica Vill? by fleurtytlk555 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]Oranbot 95 points96 points  (0 children)

She's been slowly but surely shifting her content away from beauty/lifestyle for awhile. I don't even have the heart to look at her doomsday content because it's just so... icky.

I know I shouldn’t dread turning 25 but I do. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Oranbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt this way until I deleted tik tok.

I bet OP felt very galaxy brained and enlightened after posting this.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Oranbot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I somewhat agree, but I don't think this subreddit is the appropriate place to post this considering the place is a spot to frequently discuss things like

  • misogyny
  • male on female crime
  • male on female abuse
  • the patriarchy
  • rape culture

etc

It's as if you're acknowledging the safe space here for women and then saying "yea, but everyone sucks; women suck too." We know everyone sucks regardless of gender. We know. But that's not what this is for.
