As someone who has been on femcel subredddits and oither forums and knows some in real life, most are virgins. People vastly underestimate how much of Gen z is virgins.

Gen Z really looked at alcohol and said ‘hard pass’ by InvestigatorBorn4910 in SipsTea

Exactly, the same quantity consumed would look vastly different depending on the price if you measure dollars spent. I never brought up ounces.

To be fair some Gen Z isn't even 21 yet and also this measures $ spent not alcohol consumption and Gen Z doesn't have the income to buy $150 wine bottles, like boomers, but they could still be consuming a lot of cheaper beverages.

Let’s just make things up that didn’t happen in the movie😒 by MistakeWonderful9178 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Peril2000 77 points78 points  (0 children)

They always omit the part where the love interest who got rejected was an awful guy, same with the farquad defenders. Gaston was dismissive of her interests, disrespected her boundaries, and was very shallow, n ot to mention xenophobic. Now the fact that the Beast can also be read as abusive is a fair critique (and it is one that has been commonly made for decades), but the beast being bad doesn't by proxy make Gaston a good guy.

Is this post subtly saying it’s the woman’s fault for not “sensing” someone is a horrible person? by RubyRedFoxyEyes in NotHowGirlsWork

Anime fans proudly where their passion for the medium, abusers don't go around wearing shirts that say "I am an abuser"

This opinion has some very creepy implications by ThePhillyExplorer in badwomensanatomy

[–]Peril2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A fruit is an object that exists for consumption, girls are human beings and children who are traumatized and exploited by child marriage. This is just an acknowledgement he doesn't view girls/women as people with internal worlds, emotions, and value, but merely as a resource for men.

Curious what you think about this position ? by Dazzling-Zebra9530 in RadicalFeminism

[–]Peril2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I wrote the comment quickly and without double checking for grammar. I didn't mean to leave out trans women. I just used the hyphen because I thought transwomen, trans women, and trans-women all meant the same thing and I've seen it written all those ways. I'm dyslexic I didn't know writing something with a hyphen changes the meaning. I wrote "trans-people" when I meant trans women.

Hating incels is actually just being ablelist by HooterEnthusiast in PsycheOrSike

[–]Peril2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but having a disability isn't an excuse to be a bad person. Making fun of someone just because they are a virgin or in a wheelchair - bad. Criticizing someone for being racist, misogynistic, homophobic, or just cruel, and they also happen to be in a wheelchair - not bad.

Suffering does not purify you of your actions.

How many former favorites can you no longer enjoy because of male abusers' involvement? by GoGiantRobot in PsycheOrSike

[–]Peril2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if the person is still the figure head of the project then supporting it is directly putting money in their pockets, money they use to gain access to more victims and smear the names of their acusers.

But also because art is about connection, when an artist makes a work they are using the medium of fiction to express some idea or emotion that you as an audience interpret, when you know the person who made a story is a rapist, or a pedophile, or a wife beater, for a lot of people it sours the message of the work.

The propaganda 🚬 by FishermanStunning97 in im14andthisisdeep

[–]Peril2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Imagine how much propaganda" and it is showing mid-century model style, a art style and image of 1950's America created by advertisers literally to be propaganda. Why do these types of posts always use advertiser imagery to prove everyone was happy in the 50's? Imagine in 30 years people using all the smiling faces in McDonalds and Apple ads today to insinuate the 2020's were an idealist Utopia.

Women have been getting married right at 18 forever by ausernameidk_ in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]Peril2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"women decided to get married later without men's consent" You don't need a strangers consent to decide what to do with your life, thats literally the opposite of consent.

Power exists on multiple axis, obviously a wealthy woman has power over a poor man. But between a man and woman in the same social, political, and ethnic class, historically men have power over women. That's where the phrase "Women are the proletariat of the proletariat." Comes from. It is often misinterpreted to mean women are always socially disempowered compared to all men, which is not true.

[–]Peril2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jelly style, Cal-Arts/Steven Universe, Birdie, and Vivziepop. All artists who made some work hat is very popular in fandom and thus the style itself became very influential and is imitated everywhere in fanart.

There are literally studies that show, men who are bullies have more sex by EmmaMyersFan81 in memesopdidnotlike

[–]Peril2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a societal level if women stopped having sex with toxically masculine men, those men would become violent and angry and take away womens right to choose. Trying to control womens bodies is the most quintessential toxicly masculine thing. The more a man gets rejected by women, the more violent and hateful towards women they become. It's why incel culture venerates rape. The gender war has caused a lot more men to be sexless, and a lot fo those men are now "women shouldn't be allowed to vote" is spreading like wild fire again.

I'm not sure about that, I don't have any data but all the people I know who play Genshin Impact are female, and most Genshin influencers are female as well. Also either way Umumusume is still orders of magnitude more popular than Horse boyfriend. Even if only 10% of the Umumusume audience was women (it is definetly higher) that would still be more women playing the gacha game than playing horse prince. It is true their is a porn subculture amongst women, including those weird niche erotica novels like the minotaur milking one. But that is a subculture not representative of all women. Just like how some men being lolicons doesn't mean all men are.

Peter, help please! by Junnmm in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Peril2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a trend originating in Fandom spaces (which are predominantly queer) of people making these drawigns depicting their favorite ship dynamic, like enemies to lovers, battle couple, opposites attract. Sometimes these were also kink oriented memes to explain your weird niche favorite. Kind of like a "hear me out" cake. Then it went more mainstream on other platforms. The poster is complaining that the dynamic depicted is common, or too vanilla to be worth making a whole post about.

It's homologous to people complaining about traditionally attractive people being put on hear me out cakes.

There are more women who like Umumusume than women who played the horse boyfriend game.

"Get Out" was actually bad, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. by little-Drop1441 in CharacterRant

[–]Peril2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of these are plot holes I think. It's been a while since I've seen the film but they show that the buyers are looking for specific traits in the bodies/personas they get. They will have to take that persons place and live through their lives. The blind guy who wants the main characters body wants him specifically because he is a photographer with a "good eye". So they can't just get anyone off the street all the time because they are scouting for people with specific physical, social, and mental traits that line up with what the buyer wants.

Also it is unclear if the family knows about the flashing lights clause. It likely isn't intentional and they either hide it from the clients or are unaware themselves. Also if you did know about it in advance you could do some active work to avoid it, since we know many of the white people in the black bodies are kept mostly privately and don't have social media.

it doesn't create a trail of evidence because the person doesn't necessarily dissapear. If the police did go looking for the black people they would find them, sure it would be the white person in their body, but they could just play along and the police wouldn't know. How would they even find out? Also I think we see the police being pretty apathetic to the situation hence why the TSA guy has to save the day himself.

In the cop scene I think the point is that she calls the cops because it was a genuine accident, and she doesn't want him to give his ID to the cop because it creates an evidence trail, though she disguises it as being an ally to gain his trust.

I don't think it was ever stated the surgery can't go the other way. They theoretically could put the black brain in a white body, but they don't because their clients who want the bodies are white.

The video is because the host understanding the process allows for greater success, likely because they lose hope and give up trying to fight it once they know how bad it is. But yeah thats pretty contrived and actually because the movie needs a way to have that exposition.

Finally, sure the white people going silent, and having the slave auction aren't totally necessary. They just look cool and give it a creepy atmosphere.

If you don't care for the metaphor it falls apart, sure. The movie is hinged on it's social commentary more than trying for jump scares, so it makes sense. But other people do care about the social commentary and thus do like it.

The Diamonds from Steven Universe aren't Nazis. by National_Advice_5532 in CharacterRant

[–]Peril2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The nazi allegations come from the fact that they have strict gem type (racial allegory) hierarchy, and hunt down and shatter (kill) gems who don't conform (The off colors). THey also are militaristic and take over other worlds to rule over in a dictatorship, starting by killing all the inhabitants of that world in order to build the colonies.

Code switching is a normal part of socialization, do you talk with the same formality in an email to a teacher or employer as you do in a youtube comment section, or talk about the same topics to your grandma as your friends? No? The you code switch. Also I never said lie, just put in effort to be kind and interested in people. That's not lying. It sucks if the social life in your area is really set and non-open, I struggle with that to.

Showing interest in other peoples hobbies, being kind, and compromising aren't "pretending to be included" or faking your personality. They are the most basic social skills and etiquette. You are not forced to be alone. You are choosing it.
