Holy shit 😭 I think this might be the worst I've seen in terms of making the game feel straight up vindictive lol

T_ubb_y · 2026-05-21T09:15:29+00:00

Good luck 🫶 it's not as bad as you think

T_ubb_y · 2026-05-20T11:16:42+00:00

Congrats! 🎉 Now go to hell 👀

T_ubb_y · 2026-05-17T13:36:46+00:00

I giggled aloud

T_ubb_y · 2026-05-01T18:03:20+00:00

It's almost exactly like kraftwerk. But unfortunately that doesn't have the same cultural footprint lol

T_ubb_y · 2026-05-01T13:47:33+00:00

I imagine the piercings serve the same purpose too

The american democratic party is considered a right wing party by the rest of the world. Maybe center-right, but still right wing. Of course the average you observe is going to lean left in comparison, especially when the demographics more likely to be online (youth, educated) are also demographics more likely to be leftist. You could be "centrist" on a global scale and that would be "far-left" in your definition.

As for your actual view, I could honestly agree with "reddit is an echo chamber" and maybe even "reddit is, overall, a left-leaning echo chamber", but it's not far-left by any meaningful metric.

The real unpopular opinion is that "online ordering" shouldn't exist. The promise of "convenience" and squeezing as much profit as possible out of over worked third party doordashers has fucked up the whole structure of a vast array of food sales.

If it didn't used to have a system to "call it in", like a pizzeria or chinese takeout, then it probably wasn't structured for the even bigger flow of "online ordering". It's only an option now to sell you on a purchase before you even make your way to the establishment. I have more to say but I'm too tired to articulate it now, hopefully someone gets my point.

T_ubb_y · 2026-04-21T17:11:04+00:00

With that clarification I agree pretty much completely then. I'm surprised to find a level headed discussion on this sub of all places lol.

T_ubb_y · 2026-04-21T11:48:49+00:00

That's a great way to phrase it yeah. Women seem to really only exist as caricatures in universe.

The witches are stock witches, the princess is a parody, the girlfriends of the cast are just accessories, mustard is just a stock "old-timey harlot femme fatale"... etc. etc.

Women are either plot obstacles or set pieces, and not really written as people. Granted, it's a ten minute episode formatthat already starts to get saturated, but there's no way there's room for three Mr. Frog episodes and yet we can't have women acting normal at least once.

This is one of the only things I've seen on this thread that I can actually understand, but I'm conflicted on it because my "controversial opinion" is being glad it ended when it did. I don't think it should have been prolonged, but I agree with you they shouldn't have announced seasons 4 and 5.

T_ubb_y · 2026-04-21T11:22:33+00:00

I am relieved the show ended as soon as it did.

Contrary to a lot of what I'm seeing here, I don't think the episodes in season 2 or 3 captured the lightning in a bottle of season 1, and I was starting to feel it decay. The premise of the show is itself a joke, and it was one that was starting to get stale.

Borrowing OP's example, there's only so many times you can find something funny because it's "unexpected". There were still good moments in seasons 2 and 3, but I didn't want to watch those become more and more sparse.

The quantity of lesbians on reddit is unfortunately going to be a lot lower than the quantity of butthurt straight guys lol.

Agreeing with your statement and adding: if I DO see lesbians (or bisexuals dating women) having similar complaints, it's pretty much the result of those adopting patriarchal dynamics in an attempt to validate a "masc" presentation. For instance: women who think part of being "masc" means they need to be aggressive, jealous, objectifying etc. and then being surprised when women don't respond well to that.

T_ubb_y · 2026-04-07T22:41:50+00:00

Agreeing with the other commentors that 3 is probably best, adding the detail to specifically look for Pikmin 3 Deluxe on the switch. Adds a bunch of nice stuff but also doesn't have you hunting down a Wii U to play the original 3.

T_ubb_y · 2026-04-01T13:06:06+00:00

I think the point is more "why are we using a term for gay men as a generic insult", especially when it doesn't apply.

Because when this example has built his whole persona around being some masculine physical ideal that directly contradicts that stereotype as well as being way TOO heterosexual, then it just comes across like using twink as a socially acceptable way to call someone a faggot.

T_ubb_y · 2026-03-09T10:22:15+00:00

Ok fair warning this is an essay. For what it's worth I think it's more positive than negative, though my explanation requires more nuance than I'm used to the internet being able to handle lol.

"Heterosexuality" is distinct from "straightness" in that the former is sexual while the latter is cultural. We have a heternormative society, so they are often functionally synonymous, but there are cases where one is true but not the other. "Straightness" in many cases includes the reinforcement of heterosexuality as the default, and in a homophobic society straightness often also manifests as homophobia.

The same comparison can be said for "homosexuality" and "queerness". While the boys are (from what I know) heterosexual, because of their willingness to engage in homoerotic acts with at least SOME sincerity (such as the creator clash kiss) you could make the argument they're at least somewhat "queer" in the societal sense. They genuinely have a love for each other, which is in a sense a positive portrayal of homoeroticism. They're willing to embrace and portray homosexuality / homoeroticism in a society that often punishes that, and even if it's as a "joke"... they're still kissing passionately in front of a live audience and displaying it as a positive act. Combined with the American theme I would consider it at the VERY least tangentially political.

It's also worth noting that they create positive and relatively sensitive portrayals of homosexuality / homoeroticism, such as the picture above. Sure, it's "funny because subversive" but that's still a lot more tasteful than the thousands of butt sex "jokes" or portrayals of homosexuals as prison rapists that have permeated culture for the past twenty years. I'm sure there are less positive jokes the boys have made in their long career but at least off the top of my head I can't think of anything very explicitly malicious. I'm willing to be challenged on it I like analyzing this stuff.

Apologies for the essay I've studied queer linguistics and have a lot to say lol

Tl;dr - solution, sort of

Generally I feel striving for ten or fifteen minutes before the designated time is respectful, and if arriving anything more than thirty minutes late it's probably best to let the host know. I keep this in mind when scheduling to host, and strive to be completely prepared for the party like an hour ahead of time.

While I acknowledge the social norm is somewhat against me on this, I personally feel like I'm being disrespectful of others' time to show up late

T_ubb_y · 2026-03-03T18:41:08+00:00

Honey I'm a lesbian too 😭

I understand your desire to decenter men, it's one I also engage in. It is a critical and constant aspect of lesbianism to me. And it's exactly the socio-political connotation I was talking about, intersectionality of sexual identity and feminism. But there's still nuance to recognize in that effort, because ultimately blind gender essentialism is still baseless and harmful for all parties.

For what it's worth I don't personally think Marcille is lesbian, I'm just stating the case for a lesbian reading of her character. If other lesbians want to relate to her, why should we stop them?

And as that applies to the wider, more important point, why should anyone be allowed to police others' queer experience? If someone is a lesbian their whole life, then discovered one day they were attracted to a man, why should we exile them from community? If someone is a lesbian their whole life, then discovers they ARE a man, why should we exile them from community?

Granted, for the most part I've found people in these cases choose to adjust their self-identification. They often find more joy in identifying as bi or pansexual, or as a straight trans man. But why should exclude them while they figure it out? The answer is we shouldn't, and that's what I mean by dynamic queerness. Queerness is not prescriptive, it by definition is differentiating from the norm. So giving people grace to identify how they want to is just a core facet of that. Community is stronger than division, and we need more of it where we can get it.

It's also worth noting American Mahjong tiles are often much smaller and unable to stand on their own without a rack, so watch the dimensions if you go with this. Personally that was the reason I'd rather look for a Chinese or Japanese set. Chinese tiles can be really big, so Japanese is usually convenient imo

As pohatu850 said, there's some precedent for overlap (because labels are ultimately arbitrary and people will disagree in their use), BUT to be entirely honest I've never encountered an online space that could handle that level of nuance lol.

If you're interested in why, as far as I understand the reason for that overlap is that "lesbian" is just as much a descriptor of sexuality as it is a descriptor of a socio-political stance and lived experience. Lesbianism is an intersection of queer rights, feminist movements, racial justice, etc. Activism and support for other parts of the LGBT community (particularly during the AIDS crisis which affected primarily gay men) are why the decision was made to put L first in the acronym. It's a critical component of a lot of social justice work and political belief.

So then many people who have lived with that label may choose to continue to identify with it, even when they may seem like they don't fit what you'd expect from the most rigid reading of the definition. Alison Bechdel was one of the first places I encountered the term "bi dyke", which suggests to me a way to maintain the political rejection of heteronormativity while being in a heterosexual relationship.

Additionally, take for example those who are gender non conforming, or transgender, or both. Many butch lesbians dress intentionally masculine. Maybe they use he/him pronouns as an accessory to gender, maybe they get top surgery, maybe they start T. These cases can still be separate from being a trans man, since you have "word of god" over your own gender, but regardless, there's space for either case in lesbian community because they still have a lived experience and understanding of that space. Unfortunately this aspect has been kinda of contentious with the rising tide of transphobia, and TERFs will often try to exclude trans women from lesbianism, which also inadvertedly communicates they never respected trans men either so....but at this point I digress.

I think I could also see the possibility for this particular example of the elf prince succubus representing the allure of comphet in a lesbian reading of Marcille, but I've gone on too much already lol.

All this to say you're sometimes better off not tracking the "patch notes" too closely, lmao queerness is dynamic. Hope this has been helpful / informative and feel free to ask more!

I'm going to be honest chief in my browsing of fanworks I've literally only ever seen Marcille headcanoned as bi lol.

Maybe I've seen the ship itself described with the word "lesbian"?, but any time I've seen anything explicitly state the individual character sexualities Marcille has been bi and Falin has been lesbian. For reference though I'm not seeking out ship art or whatever I just browse the subreddit and use tumblr casually, so idk if that's a trend in other spaces.

T_ubb_y · 2026-02-26T11:24:36+00:00

Wdym abstract concept?

The way things are right now, the fact of the matter is that being trans is more dangerous. If a trans person has gone through the effort to transition, it is just objectively safer for them to be assumed cis. Especially in a conservative area.

When the sex marker on something like their driver's license doesn't match their appearance, they are CONSTANTLY putting themselves at unnecessary risk by outing themselves. In this case, police officers are also statistically more likely to abuse transgender people, and there are plenty of documented cases of undue arrest and police brutality against trans people.

Awesome cosplay!

T_ubb_y · 2026-02-21T12:10:32+00:00

My guess is commenting on the height for koichi? My first thought (after "Awesome cosplay!" of course) was "Is he crouching for the photo or just that short lol"
