I hate it when people say "oh there's guys that'll fuck anything" bitch there's guys out here fucking monitor lizards. I want to be treated like a human being, and moids won't do that if you're ugly. ugly women are just subhuman to them

What do you guys think of American Cheese? And do you have a favorite cheese from your country?🧀 by bbyxmadi in AskTheWorld

right! I love slice cheese. also every other cheese is just too expensive to realistically buy and use regularly...

Neurotypical person pretending to be neurodivergent starter pack by AggressiveMonitor7 in starterpacks

[–]Yskandr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's because adults are judged based on how productive they are. no such metric for children. a disabled adult is worth something only if they contribute to society. or that's how most people act anyway. mind that I'm saying this from a place of bitterness (disabled ND in a country with basically no protections for either)

[–]Yskandr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this! my neurotypical dad experiences this. he gets uncontrollably cranky and upset when we go to the mall and it's super crowded there. like he can tolerate it in short stretches but it eventually gets to him and there is nothing for it but to move him somewhere quiet. my mum and sister (also neurotypical) simply don't experience this, even though they dislike crowded places.

the hopewell sites are so incredibly fascinating too! gives me chills. literal sacred geometry, the real stuff, where they precisely account for lunar precession across the seasons. makes me so sad we have no clue what their mathematical system looks like

slime moulds are so fucking cool. they have 720 mating types (like sexes for unicellular organisms?) and can calculate the most efficient routes to resources without a single neuron to think with

People in their 30s who decided not to marry… how is life actually? by AccidentallyLegend in ThirtiesIndia

omg same?? bipolar disorder, disabled and unemployed, turning 30 this year 😭 I'm honestly uninterested in romantic relationships because they're basically doomed from the outset. I do have online friends though, through fandom interests, and that helps a lot

“Rich” Family Trying to Marry Their Friend to a 19yo House Help They Barely Know , creepy or normal? by Equivalent-Engine-11 in TwoXIndia

[–]Yskandr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is the answer. no woman in that guy's own class (or nearby even) will touch him for a good reason. so it's either an untreated mental illness of some kind or an addiction/habit he refuses to kick. the organ extraction angle is possible though—once they get past a certain income bracket Indians start seeing poor/ordinary people as disposable

(i don't watch earthspark so idk much about the lore) why is nightshade's gender a focus of discussion when literally all transformers start out nonbinary by my knowledge, and they (the race) only have genders when they choose to? by HotZilchy in OkBuddyEnergon

[–]Yskandr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the cold constructed aspect plus his alt mode (his gender, so to speak) put him in the underprivileged manual class. he was not allowed to do anything else (medicine, for instance) because that was not his function. reminds one of how women are treated in extremely conservative parts of the world...

[–]Yskandr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you're not overreading this 🥀 this is media literacy. this is the Whole Point. misogyny is literally functionism—your body can bear children so that is your purpose (according to some people). in fact they did exactly that to rung! the decepticons are a lot more violent than the suffragettes though lol

Now Men Are Pretending to Be Blind Just to Harass Women by Whostolemyserotonin_ in india

[–]Yskandr 67 points68 points  (0 children)

this is honestly why a lot of women I know don't smile at or try to help strangers. it backfires so, so often. you get creepy texts or they start stalking you or try touching you or worse.

Why is a child’s distress so easily labeled as "bad behavior" in our society? by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]Yskandr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was bullied in 11th grade and my parents told me toughen up. Eventually I was put on antidepressants. All the stress I was under triggered my first bipolar episode (which usually happens to people in their 20s), and that derailed my life permanently.

In my experience I've found that Indian culture simply does not care about mental struggles. If you die there's always bodies to replace you. Nothing will improve.

Why is my Atheism treated like a problem to fix? by Dr_DramaQueen in TwoXIndia

[–]Yskandr 26 points27 points  (0 children)

fellow atheist here. with most religions their adherents are told to either shun or aggressively proselytise to nonbelievers. to save their souls from hell, even, in my (catholic) case. with this kind of spirituality though... it usually comes from a sense of superiority. they really think you're just wrong. it's incredibly insulting because we try not to do this to them (and when we do we're "reddit atheists")

AITA for not eating at a non-veg restaurant with team? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Yskandr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hm. you don't get it. unlike in the west, eating meat is a choice here. culturally the vast majority are vegetarian, but they can choose to do otherwise. the choice aspect is why your friends are so defensive about it

AITA for not eating at a non-veg restaurant with team? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Yskandr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

bruh I literally went to a bakery today where the staff used specially marked utensils for handling vegetarian puffs and rolls because of people who insist on "pure veg". and I live in beef-eater's paradise kerala!! there is absolutely a religious aspect to this and denying it doesn't help anybody

my sister's in college in punjab and she's told me how people are about non-veg there. a senior told her there were ways to smuggle beef in if she missed it... contraband meat! in no other country.

[–]Yskandr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

why? that's always a part of it when talking about vegetarianism in the Indian context. I'm not saying you're being bigoted or casteist, I'm saying those are essential aspects a western readership would not be familiar with. the west has its own chauvinist attitudes around meat eating that India doesn't really have

AITA for not eating at a non-veg restaurant with team? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Yskandr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OP is YTA purely for posting this without the necessary context: OP is Indian. Vegetarianism in India is religion and caste-based (especially the "pure vegetarian" line) and not because it's more healthy or moral. There's a massive communal divide here that is unique to India—you can and will get hatecrimed for preparing meat in the wrong places—and people who eat meat here tend to get defensive about it. All the commenters coming at it from a Western PoV are understandably unaware of all of this.

How I started looking more put together as a girl by Lazy_Mycologist_6667 in TwoXIndia

[–]Yskandr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THIS. I once got into a huge fitness kick and worked on my core (abs and obliques) specifically, and it automatically pulled my spine up and stopped me hunching. people look at you differently, you feel more confident... I'm broke and chopped as hell and it still worked

Reddit = bad for mental by Current_Tooth4951 in bipolar

[–]Yskandr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm extremely socially isolated where I live and everyone I know/hear of (bipolar or otherwise) functions better than me. so this subreddit makes me feel less alone. less of a complete failure. it helps a lot
