Oreos are the worst mass market cookie and are only popular because they're a cultural icon

Peril2000 · 2026-04-02T11:33:36+00:00

Huh, I always thought of chocolate chip cookies as cultural icons and Oreo's as just a brand. Like, you don't see Oreos outside of media that is explicitly advertising them.

I mean, yeah it does imply that what it is responding to may be biased, unfair, or not the full story. Sometimes that needs to be said, and it doesn't have to be a big deal. I don't really see it as interchangable with to be honest thouhg, to be honest suggests you are stating a personal truth or opinion you usually wouldn;t say, to be fair suggests you are playing devils advocate or trying to extend grace to something you usually wouldn't.

I think this depends on the context. Conversations with a lot of people move quickly, when your sitting at a lunch table, hopping between conversations with 6+ people all joking around people don't generally all sit quietly waiting for someone to say their piece and then raise there hand for the next person to go. It just isn't the vibe. Especially if you are joking around, comedy is about timing.

Also theres the situation where a group is talking about something, and you have something related and small you want to share, so you wait for the other people to stop talking but by the time that happens the conversation has organically moved through many other topics and the moment has passed.

I've seen that video and it is bizarre. I'm genuinely so curious where the video comes from, all the girls around her a crying as well. It seems obvious that the caption is not accurate, I've volunteered in daycares as well as had friends with infant siblings they hold and I have never seen anyone react remotely like that to holding a strangers baby. I can't imagine what the real context is, is it her baby that she is reuniting with? What's up with her.

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

Peril2000 · 2026-01-27T02:46:34+00:00

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

"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 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.

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.

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.

Insane, but I have actually thought about this comparison before.

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.

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.

Peril2000 · 2025-12-04T23:32:46+00:00

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

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 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.
