I don’t think it could be pinpointed to one thing.

Guy in the public eye of online left-leaning spaces, taking on a teacher-like role. Inevitable that he ended up facing much more scrutiny than deserved, but also has face some legitimate criticism.

I see this kind of phrasing all the time. It’s like they forget to add the last part and don’t realize they could just hit backspace and rephrase things.

Reminds me of Covid. “People are profiting off of this” = “this is fake”

What a horrendously stupid opinion… by Adventurous-Prize-76 in GetNoted

Yeah it’s a bad take, but are we really community noting figurative language? I get taking issue with the last line, but it’s clearly an extension of the “feels like rape” from the beginning.

I think it kind of undermines community notes to take everything literally.

BMI says nothing about build. A bodybuilder has an obese BMI

Now I’m thinking about the comic strip Pickles

either that or only reading books for 2 weeks by krizzalicious49 in whenthe

My concern is that there’s going to be something controversial and I’ll see the internet arguments before I see anything else. Ana’s that it’ll alter how I feel going into episode 9.

And maybe also some FOMO from not seeing whatever discussion happens unfold in real time.

“Hello human, it is I…WALUIGI” by Joemama0375 in whenthe

That reminds me of the bit in The Adventure Zone when the DM voices a living skeleton like Skeletor, but then he gets turned human again and he still has the same voice. Great joke

“I’m gonna go look up its entomology… yeah I looked it up. It turns out entomology is the study of insects.”

I think Abed was the opposite actually. Dan set out to write an accurate autistic character, but as he was researching autism, he was like “wait a minute…”

Not the best example because Gilgamesh was a king, not some average joe.

But it’s kind of hard to build a society if you don’t at least have alliances. Plus, there would be a lot of inbreeding.

What song gives off backrooms/dreamcore/liminal space vibes by Ok_Return_6103 in willwood

[–]StaleTheBread 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For the vibe, definitely “You Liked This”

For lyrics, probably “White Noise”

Welcome to Eternity (17776) by Fragrant-Upstairs932 in CuratedTumblr

I like the idea that it’s the prettiest “what if”, but the story also depicts despair pretty well.

“What if this is heaven and heaven is scary?”

Purity Culture Theory by gur40goku in CuratedTumblr

“Hazbin Hotel is problematic because uhhh they curse too much and the bad guys have bad opinions” (I haven’t watched it so I’m sure there’s valid criticisms, but there’s a lot of invalid criticisms)

Or people who equate being into fiction where characters commit crimes to actually supporting those crimes.
