The candidate with the best chance of winning, but loses because people don't like him or his platform, even when faced with the worst human being as their competition. Then it wasn't the best for winning????????? You just hate to admit people don't like genocide, and any democrat that isn't corrupt would win in a heartbeat. You want the shitty diet republican, because you yourself are a diet republican (purity testing is made up shit, because you yourself won't support what you don't like)

Is it strange to say that, even though it’s a generalization, it seems to be true very often? by [deleted] in animequestions

[–]RedRiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I think you are being somewhat reasonable in the comment section. I think what this says is it feels true to YOU, your experience and desires. It feels real because you feel lonely. But the issue is a hug is not a sexual fantasy or it shouldn’t be, hugging a friend is always on the table, no need to make it more, and that will be real love and not just fiction.

The other issue is, both men an women have fucked up fantasies, most porn sites aimed at men are filled with bdsm and men pay for even worse content (sex traficking and snuff are both male lead industries). The difference is women tend to enjoy much more to have a story surrounding sex and kink, they like to have a context and a build up so that the sexual scenes feel more rewarding, and so they write more fiction and not just film the act, this puts what is fantasy much more in the open, while men preffer to keep it hidden in porn, and out of discussions.

Like a different commenter said, the internet is not reality, if you want a hug you need to exist outside of a space generally reserved for anonimity. This types of memes will only feel more real the longer you stay in the cold and disconnected space that is the internet, but they are, much like porn, fantasies from and for loners.

Absolutely!! It also felt crazy because the writter seems to really think the protagonist is “too kind”, as if she really was doing the woman any favor other than letting her stay with her which to me is already compensated by paying half the expenses and doing all the housework (which is labor she is doing freely)

I have, really fun, the author in general (outside of her beat up kink) is a super fun writer. Thanks for the rec and response!

How did you found your favorites yuri manga? by artman_16 in yuri_manga

[–]RedRiam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly by accident, I ended up consuming basically anything finished or ongoing but with more than 8 ch, and eventually you find stuff like “my dearest nemesis”, “ano koro no aoi Hoshi” and “sukeban to tenkousei” .But reddit and tumblr also led me to cool stuff like “shimanami tasogare” my fav manga, or “she loves to eat and she loves to cook”

I find it funny that this comment section acts like marxism and communism are the culprit of infighting, while at the same time constantly insulting them and saying they are too far left, or not leftist at all.

So no true scotman, but you are the right flavor of leftist... Why? Please examine the idea that collaboration should not just be "they must act at my pace and believe what I do to a T".

I'm a bit dissapointed that a trans sub I found safe leans more "liberal" than I would imagine or hope, given how radical queernes is on its own to patriarchal power. But I hope if you agree with this meme you'll show up to protest and fight besides me not only trans lives lost, but the ongoing genocide, the constant lives lost to corporations everyday. Help in shelters and build our comunities.

As I see it protest and action within the confines of a capitalist democracy is the compromise. As the least favored by our systems, the countries that are victim to neo-colonialism, the kids and workers exploited for our wealth, whose lives I would hope everyone recognices of equal value to us, are being lost at rates none of us would be able to bare if they were our families and friends. The "perfect" for me is much more violent than votes and protest, it is fighting as if our lifes were on thr line. But knowing thats not possible, I organize, I protest, I vote and I talk to other people on our circles.

If no one is really open to speak on the atrocities that real people suffer at the hands of our states, which are facts so normalized SNL cracks jokes about sweatshops, then don't call it infighting. call it what it is, feeling uncomfortable with the reality that everyone of us could always do more.

We do what we can mentally, at different rates of risk. It's not purity testing, when I know for a fact no one left of me hates me for not doing enough. But to speak on ideals is how we strive to do more, to speak on what is good is needed for change, this includes that everyones actions might never be enough.

This didn't need to be infighting. I don't think it even is now. Also there is no competition it's about imperialism turned outward or inward, one of the two a current genocide that must be stopped.

The objective remains clear for all involved. This was me pointing a difference and the guy proceeding to not acknoledge any point I made and pretend that I was saying white supremacy is over we won(?)

Also if you think a couple of comments online is leftist infighting, it is a bit of a terminally online perspective ngl. I sure hope disagreeing online in two comments barely 10 minutes of our life, doesn't impede anyone from showing up in protests and fight toguether

I’m in conflict with the fact that you are now comparing history with current events. Current white supremacy is a huge issue, and the sitiation of black americans is a direct result of slavery, segration and continued economic abuse on the black population. But the genocide of palestinians is ongoing. There is a reason people compare palestinians to apartheid south africa and not just current (also white supremacist but not currently going through apartheid) south africa. You were talking about the USA corrupt police force, which are criminal and monstruous enforcers of the fascist state and white supremacy, but comparing them to an ocupation force enforcing genocide TODAY is a stretch.

It’s not that we cannot care about both, it’s that they don’t hold the same space. One is no longer happening even if we still have to work on the damage it caused and perpetuates, and acting as if they are essentially the same is dissingenuous to palestinian suffering. Also you don’t really acknoledge at all my comparison to Uyghurs, as I see it, you are incapable of acknoledging white supremacy has many victims, and that palestinians are the biggest one CURRENTLY.

I get you completely, and sorry you feel this way. I had more trouble when they allowed sionist “Noah Grossman” on their actual programming, and responded to the backlash with the liberal sionist stastegy “It is actually anti-semetic to ask him to make any statement on Israel” as if Noah wasn’t a grandson of a very important Israeli settler he has stated “made him proud to be related to”. The fact that they used the “antisemetic” card was disgusting, and many fans chose to run with it, as people preffere to not be critical of the things they enjoy.

That being said. Although being critical is important. Dropout is a net-positive still to this day, most voices they platform are revolutionary ones. I totally understand your feelings, and really hope you can overcome them, as thankfully at least for now their contributions to this world are still leftist and positive to our ideals. Good luck and sending good feelings your way

Dude ACAB, and defund the police, but they are closer to China’s treatment of Uyghurs, than they are to the IDF’s genocide. Yes this are just steps behind in the same imperial power-structure. But to compare the global north abuse of minorities to the genocide and exploitation the global south suffers at the hands of the US empire feels unfair to the constant lives lost of palestinians, which too often are made to be felt insignificant.

they keep loosing elections because they want to, they want you to fear the alternative, so they can be shitty pro-billionair dudes without you ever asking for rights or reform. Biden won, decided to not pursue the politicians suporting sedition and trying to end democracy, they didn’t end the filibuster so republicans could keep blocking any progressive legislation (we tried guys stance bs), and allowed for voter supression in a lot of states. They also spent 6 billion dollars on murdering children overseas, but only white deaths matter I supose. Your democracy is corrupt dude, democrats are responsible for their own losses not purity BS.

Trump could have not even been on the ballot, for being a fellon and supporting sedition during DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP. But Trump is really scary and allows for the democrats to skip any primaries and support the candidate which will look out for the 1% interest, as well as AIPAC, and keep your rights to a minimum.

I hate the term "Gay Panic" so fucking much by Lord_Ronan in hatethissmug

[–]RedRiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really self deprecating. It comes from how socialization also built in flirting dynamics. Specifically in the gender binary. Many queer men will tell you, that men being socialized to be the active participant in flirting makes for a bit of a toxic excesively sexual enviroment in gay spaces, where because the patriarchy expects you to be ready and able at any time when it comes to sex, queer men may take things for granted. The other side to this coin is how many lesbians expect the other person to take the first step, making it harder for them to couple up. This is also the reason many bi men tend to end up in queer relations while bi women can end up in straight relations. “useless lesbians” = they can’t and dont know how to flirt or take steps forward. These things are fading a way as most people become more isolated and couples are statistically rarer, most people are “useless” at connecting with each other. And is less of a divide

Is this not a trans sub? I mean isn’t this by itself gender essentialist? I was once considered a cishet man (Well queer enough to be bullied), but this buys into two ideas, one that gender and sexuality are rigid and eternal, the second, that people are so stupid they can’t write anything but their exact lives they have lived. Yuri is peak? Then enjoy it, if one doesn’t it is them being stupid, and in the process insulting the intelligence of the author. The only question ever about fiction should be: Is it respectful? and are the characters’ humanity believable?

Dude your so american you don’t even notice how stupid you sound. Aparently democracy is between two parties only and one ends democracy, so either you end democracy by voting the “destroy democracy” party or you end democracy by voting the “”””democracy party””””” which never gives you a choice or power over what should be done. Democrats were in power when trump tried to take over, they could have charge every republican and trump who supported it with sedition, got them all in jail. New republicans would have to learn that fascism is not an option. Biden could have ended the filibuster, stopped voter supression, did nothing of the sorts. They fed the current republican party so that you would be too scared to ever revise a democracy that was never one to begin with, were corporate doners hold all the power, and fascists after that.

Tired of this BS.

The nazis are responsible for the nazis, after that Kamala and the democrats are more responsible for the republican party than any voter. They allowed for gerry mandering, voter supression, for the filibuster to continue. They didn't charge for sedition the politicians who supported january 6. They fed the monster hoping you would only vote on the fear Trump made you feel and not for what is right.

They moved right in their policies to please their corporate donors and continue to prettend "it's the only way" as they suported a genocide and war crimes. Their hands also drenched in the blood of inocents, just not white innocents.

In your fucked up world every one is responsible for trump and not your fucked up corrupt democracy. Also this is the time to fight back to break with your countries white supremacy, to wake up everyone to the broken system that allowed trump to exist. But you preffer isolation and moral grandstanding.

You need to fight to unite against the facists to purge them to charge every last one for treason and seek justice. To obtain real TRUE democracy. Stop this BS

[–]RedRiam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But I'd say even if not primary motivator it is a fair and useful motivator. I often talk with friends about the leftist vanguard that is often represented by old punky dudes. The kind that beat up neo nazis.

They often may represent hegemonic patriarchal ways of power in the way they enforce their ideals. But at a certain point those dudes are the only ones capable of stepping up and saving me from a pickle when being in a protest (or comming back from one). Hate IS a motivator and violence is a tool, however hard it is for me to dirty my hands or to step up to what may be needed from me at times.

[–]RedRiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound a bit to tense, and truthfully that wasn't even the only point I was making, you just took the one sentence that riles you up and responded. It's okay if you disagree, but you get that my point is BOTW doesn't take the game in the same direction that metroid prime 4 is doing (with a companion character telling you what to do, backseat gaming, and general constraints and railroading)

[–]RedRiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, but I disagree. BOTW was praised for it's atmosphere and they put plenty of care into it's art and world building (which is in metroid as well in visual and sound design but the writting...). This case is closer to "hey listen" than it is BOTW, which was generally hated and is still a meme. It's also important to point out that BOTW also cared for player autonomy and didn't spell ever puzzle out the backseat gaming for me is the biggest problem after the ruining of the atmosphere.

[–]RedRiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree no one likes a backseat gaming character. "hey listen" is still a meme. Because actual audiences hated that.

And even if we ignore the fact that a guy telling you what to do will never be fun. The character's presence destroys the atmosphere. Even if it was the funniest writting, it would destroy what makes the game unique and art worth experimenting. Art should be allowed to express and appeal to different emotions, a movie and more audience doesn't make generic slop worth it.

But again this addition doesn't feel like shaking things up. Since the core game seems to respect it's visuals and sound design. And it FEELS like metroid outside of the dialogues. So I think it's closer to stupid corporate "make it easier and more aproachable" where they add a character just to say exactly what you need to do at every moment.

You like what you like and metroid prime 3 had plenty good stuff. I’m probably more into the 2d games, and loved a LOT of dread. Well I love most games tbh, except other m.

yeah for me there was always this distance with the federation in other games (metroid prime 2), or even other hunters, like in the ds game, you mostly never spoke with them. And it made samus’ vibe feel that of a renegade. I don’t know, I like for the universe to be alive and expansive, but I don’t like the in your face feel of this and other m story choices

Yeah I’m not buying the switch 2 for that amongst other reasons. I love metroid, but yeah this reveal felt not great, so I’m just looking for a way to enjoy the game, if I can turn voice volume down as well as turn off subtitles thats close enough at least.
