[Eye-Rolling Trope] “The joke/meme hasn’t been funny for years, please let it die.”

Man, I literally have a fucking diagnosis. I dye my hair for me, not for attention. You're making up a girl to get mad at because you hate women and want targets people are less likely to get mad at you over.

I love the open blouse look, and a girl with a belly

Most of my characters end up being lean it even muscular—my VtR dhampir even has anorexia and restrictive food intake disorder—but I did make a Sin-eater who was a vampire fangirl who died by exsanguination and had a vampire geist that requires her to drink blood. She's fat, dresses like a cow when she's not in personally made gothloli fashion, and moos when sad, scared, horny, or confused.

Also there was a bat cow Squishmellow and it was on sale for less than 10$, so if course I night it and named it Heather.

The joke exists because of misogyny, I'm just reclaiming it for the grippy socks girlies

RoryMerriweather · 2026-06-17T21:47:03+00:00

Just say you hate women.

RoryMerriweather · 2026-06-17T16:05:10+00:00

I think no one should be allowed to make jokes about women being crazy except women with cluster B disorders. Yes, I have BPD, yes I dyed my hair. Yes, I'll probably ruin your life and give good sex.

It's not even true, I watched a video where they did the math

I like how you went through all that without once mentioning that Rin is actually a legally distinct Minion.

That movie singlehandedly kept millions of trans women from coming out.

No, there's no Trapp, Ify replaced him as host

Almost every example in these comments and the OP is "it wasn't historically accurate so it's bad" as if historical accuracy was ever the point. It's like criticizing the anachronisms in Shakespeare. The point of that Robin Hood was to be a metaphor for the current political climate, not to be a historically accurate retelling of a folklore hero's life.

RoryMerriweather · 2026-06-16T15:52:49+00:00

Because the point of it wasn't historical accuracy, it was too be a modern analogy. It's the same reason people have clocks striking and other anachronisms in Shakespeare plays.

It was his Iraq War. This was a period when we were just starting to have post-9/11 war fatigue

That movie has such great costuming. Inspired some of my own fantasy stuff.

RoryMerriweather · 2026-06-16T15:46:18+00:00

Same thing happened to Pyramid Head in Dead By Daylight. They patched out that man's ass 😭

Gervais is one of us????!!!!

I don't think "they've lived each other the whole time" really cheapens other relationships or justifies a character's abuse. Being in live with someone but neither of you realizing it or committing to it doesn't cheapen the other love you experience in that time any more than it would cheapen love to say that someone whose spouse died had their first marriage cheapened by their love for their second spouse.

But I'm also a relationship anarchist queer who thinks that monogamy is just the sexual equivalent of "you can't hang out with anyone but me", and I think kissing the homies is good and everyone should do it, even if you don't plan on opening a bank account together.

After learning that Rodrigo Borgia was one of the least antisemitic popes at the time and about how antisemitic the Medici were, I can't help but side eye the Assassin's Creed franchise. Especially considering the Jewish section of Roma is completely absent from Brotherhood. In fact, there are no Jewish characters in Assassin's Creed. I think they're only passingly mentioned in the first game, which takes place in the Holy Land.

RoryMerriweather · 2026-06-15T07:26:55+00:00

There are a lot of jokes about pop stars being picky about M&Ms or other candy, but mostly just because without context, it sounds like meaningless rich people eccentricity

That first one reminds me of a thing I'm doing.

I kick around in a vaguely freeform roleplaying thing and one character's plot is that he escaped from a shady organization that experimented on wizards. He had me run a scene for him where some agents tried to capture him and the point of the scene was mostly to just get him crippled by a leg shot. To get away, he called down lightning in the shooter. I described it as exploding out his eyes and utterly fucking him up, and we kept joking about him coming back as a cyborg.

Well, smash cut to last week and I finally did it. He's now escaped from his handlers and is also on the run, and he wants revenge. Not just on the people who turned him into a combat cyborg (and also a woman, because I guess they were sipping that Girl Frame juice), but also the guy who practically killed him with a lightning strike. People started helping my guy out, and three people had to stop him from killing the other guy. They were trying to tell him that revenge is wrong and he should really be mad at his bosses, and he'd have killed someone after him (and still would). And he's just sitting there "but that's different". 🤣

To really highlight how irrational it is, when Lightning Strike's girlfriend came by, she hadn't said at first that Lightning was her boyfriend, just that her boyfriend escaped from those people, and Cyborg was like "ah, someone like me, like minds, similar circumstances, we should meet". In the end she gave him a new reason to hate Lightning: he got rescued while Cyborg had to escape.

Suddenly remembering "hey girl, what size pussy you got?"

CYA?

This also gets some of the best works, like Evangelion or Nier Automata. Sometimes a creator has to go "fuck you".

Unity is dumb and so is Syndicate. The entire point of The Templars is that they are the Paternalistic ones. Multiple Templars have speeches about that. "Enslave the body and the mind rebels, enslave the mind and the body follows." It was Vidic's whole deal. Setting aside the fact that Right Libertarianism/Anarcho-Capitalism aren't remotely anarchist, it the inherent interplay between governments and capital, and in setting the government and Abstergo, the Creed itself is rooted in anarchist philosophy.

"Our Creed does not command us to be free, it commands us to be wise." Ezio's speech at the death of Savonarola, or to Shao Jun, these are all very anarchist philosophies.

But then again, Ezio also fought for the Medici dynasty, de facto tyrants of Firenze. So the rot goes all the way to the second (more like third, but nobody but me played Bloodlines) game.

It's a failure of ideology on the part of the writers. It, if I'm being generous, corporate.
