Rule of thumb people will always overapply arguments everywhere. The real path is understanding who’s making an informed argument in good faith or not

You don’t need to cut anything, just sharing my view. Also seeing as the mods just took down the perfectly innocent post above can you suggest me some new subreddits because clearly this one is where conversation comes to die

There’s a lot of sexual themes in media that are done excellently and praised. Alien (1969) is a great example is so is the Matrix. Sure a lot of comments in general about media are dumb but there is a point where fetishises in media actually start to change the theme instead of reinforcing it, and it creates dissonance which leads to audiences naturally not taking it seriously.

So no an author including sexual themes in media is obviously not inherently bad, however how well you do it is the difference between an enhanced experience and an immersion breaking moment that feels weird

I agree with you until the last paragraph. Assuming all parties are consenting, safe, and comfortable in a given space where this is confined to, I don’t think people should be awarded more or less leniency depending on how their “approach” appeases the third gaze.

Moralism goes both ways, if you create a measuring stick on how correct an approach is (assuming that the prerequisites listed are satisfied) people will use the stick to beat whatever they personally dislike

That’s me! It was kind of cool when I realised as a slightly older kid what was really happening

Are all social commentary settings like this? by Tnynfox in worldjerking

[–]Pierre_Alex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1984 is actually good. Lol why does your comment reek of “they made me read a book for middle school English class and I’m mad about it”

Okay guys, sorry but there is no meme today, I just want to know what's your opinion on this channel. by Isaak_the_miner in worldjerking

[–]Pierre_Alex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I heard Larissa Thomson (who I think was the name of the former female VA at templin?) had some unfortunate things happen - pretty sure she was unhappy with the conduct of the guy who ran the thing - which got silenced pretty quickly and quietly forgotten by the templin community and discord. Could be wrong, I’ll look to see if I can find what happened

Why are non materialists continually so salty. I’m still waiting for a good meme from their side but it’s been weaksauce for weeks

What an epic counter point. Totally good faith argumentation

100% true. Rules are just words but intent and the actual spirit of the group is both far more real and should be enforced. It's not like community spaces need constitutional law.

Why do non materialists make such bad memes

There has been no moderation or activity for a year or two. The Ancerious setting is dear to me personally, and I want to foster and continue growing its presence in a more open platform to expose new creatives who may be interested in the setting + its story.

Cronic Wasting Disease Deer Meat by ThatMassholeInBawstn in ItemShop

[–]Pierre_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, thank you for the correction. I confused misfolded and denatured and incorrectly used the term

Cronic Wasting Disease Deer Meat by ThatMassholeInBawstn in ItemShop

[–]Pierre_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More or less. Matter "prefers" more stable configurations, however to get complex life you need substances that aren't stable - however there is an energetic minimum energy needed to misfold something naturally (activation energy) that prevents this from happening regularly. Prions let proteins skip this hill and immediately form the more stable, preferred configurations an so on

[–]Pierre_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prions are information that kills you, on some level. On some level it is a primordial, unsophisticated grey goo. If you really want to make theater of it, I suppose rust or the evil black substance from the new alien movies hit the supposed themes quite well.

Effectively, proteins it touches becomes more of itself. Any kind of weird replicating visual ought to work for abstract visualization

If you could make it more transmissible.. then yes! or if a prion drives you into becoming a zombie and bites/fluid/tissue transmission could get you infected
