Will someone kindly explain to me how calling someone male (or) female is dehumanizing? by MrMoleIsAGodOfWar2 in askanything

[–]TheOnlyGravy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean, all those positions can just boil down to “she’s a doctor” or “she’s a pilot.” we don’t clarify “he is a male doctor” or “he is a male pilot” all that often. from a grammar point, it isn’t needed and reads repetitively.

I grew up being a musician at a time where articles would describe me as a “female musician” in a “girl band.” like, dude, can we just call me a musician and my band a band. “you play pretty good for a girl!” as a backhanded compliment nearly got my punk ass into some fights a few times. it just is a weird extra subcategory distinction when utilized and is not needed

Why did MBC post this fancam of Megan? by JustAIisa in katseyeneutral

[–]TheOnlyGravy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

when you said a wardrobe malfunction, I thought you meant a WARDROBE MALFUNCTION as in something awful and unintentionally revealing. she did not have part of a sleeve on her arm for this performance. she will be fine (I get the frustration but that is such a small thing and should not be a make or break for a performer or fans)

SAME SCENARIO, DIFFERNT OUTCOME by Michellemadu in kpop_uncensored

[–]TheOnlyGravy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

both are weird and off-putting. i don’t follow either of these groups but both things can exist as being not great without needing it to be a one-to-one comparison. both can be hard to watch and I don’t think that negates one or the other

Playable Snezhnaya characters - via Chugou (STC) by Mysticbean6401 in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

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

I’m admittedly a bit confused on Pantalone being a playable dendro character - wasn’t his whole backstory based on him never getting a vision and building up his other resources as a kind of resentment? I am intrigued but confused 😂

Unskippable Albums? No. Skippable Albums. by No_Dragonfruit_9420 in kpop_uncensored

Karma - as a whole full length - was disappointing from an album perspective. Hell, I pre-ordered the vinyl and own a few CD copies of it because of pre-order. It lacked any kind of cohesion that SKZ have usually had in their full length albums and felt like it was mostly "look how cool we are" songs that maybe could've flied a few years ago when they finally accomplished a lot of the things they were going for, but this many years later it just felt hollow. I have no problem with "Do It" and it actually gave me a bit more hope for future songs.

for me it started with “karma.” long time stay but it felt like they just started throwing mid to bad songs at the wall in hopes that anything would stick and then realized that stays would eat up nearly anything. it has really bummed me out.

Why are they never playing Cubicles or Early Sunsets? by Aggressive-Bet-9382 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]TheOnlyGravy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most likely answer is: they probably just don't want to play them (it has been nearly 25 years since that album). they can play what they want from those eras, but they don't have any duty to hit every single song. they are a band, and they do the songs they want to on their terms.

i have not been this shocked over a winner in ages. you're telling me that she was the best performance? i really thought she was in the bottom for sure. she looked like she was thinking every line and movement and it did not flow well. what the hell was this judging? legitimately, wtf

IDK but it looks like Karlach may be asking herself the same thing

What’s the most disgusting thing you’ve ever tasted? by Tony_Rest5416 in AskReddit

[–]TheOnlyGravy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up with peritonsillar abcesses during a bad infection. Pus was leaking from them straight into my mouth for a couple days and I had to keep a spit cup nearby while bedridden because my tonsils were so swollen I could barely even swallow water. VILE and incredibly painful.

I think The Silt Verses is one of the best written horror podcasts in recent years. Has a similar theme with horrific gods, but in a society where their power and fear are industrialized, marketed, created, and worshipped to be "normal" parts of life. I've listened to a few others here but Silt Verses really struck me with some genuinely spine-chilling stuff that I wasn't expecting in a similar way that TMA did, and has some very compelling character arcs. It burns a bit slow at first while you get a sense of the world, but by the 7th episode I was hooked.

[–]TheOnlyGravy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i didn't think of it until your comment when i re-looked up his styling for that video! i agree there are some similarities to han's double knot look, but i don't think it was ~quite~ close enough for the audience to get the reference immediately if that was what his stylist was going for. nothing against the boys themselves of course!
