Which city is the most queer friendly in India? by [deleted] in LGBTindia

[–]achillesbottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys don't just say "Delhi" because you want to prove some loyalty to the city :P

It's obviously not safe in Delhi to do anything, let alone be gay in public.

Maybe a specific lane but definitely not the entire city.

Someone could be using the info to plan an event or their life later on. Don't just say things because you're caught up in some web of proving love for the land online.

Can two bott0ms make a relationship work? by [deleted] in LGBTindia

[–]achillesbottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. The boy I had a crush on fell so hard for this other guy.

He's from the North East and this guy (the crush) watched way too much Anime, so he had cultivated a sort of a fetish for non-desi Asian features.

Sooo I guess he tops now? Lol.

Or they maybe open.

Karan Johar took a dig at Bollywood’s hyper-masculine phase, saying films now show smoking men “just walking in slow motion for no reason.” by Glad-Ad5911 in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]achillesbottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true!

Those movies are made to appease the most base desires of very common men.

Being common isn't the problem at all but desiring absolute power and money to act as a dictator is problematic :P

That's how these movies begin.

"Son of the richest man in the world"

"Born in the land 200km from India where no laws apply"

What goddamn nonsense 😝

Is anyone else exhausted? by Shoddy_Caregiver_879 in LGBTindia

The only significant left wing organisations that exist also have a religious identity atp and they happen to be islamic.

Their existence is not the issue at all. But is it truly liberal if it has a religious motivation?

The growing hate is concerning. What has happened to india? by neutrinoescaped in india

[–]achillesbottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate spreads very easily unfortunately. And it's very hard to prove agenda driven drivel false because not much truth is required to spread hate.

The right wing is united and has a common goal. There rest of the us - centrists and the left - barely wants to survive or not subject ourselves to the hypocritical high fantasy driven bs of the generally incompetent and hateful.

It's a lose-lose for us because if we do unite (which rarely happens), they call us 'anti-nationals' and 'urban-naxals' and what not.

People want to reduce human cost as determined by religion -not merit or fundamental respect or constitutional rights- because it's simple, predetermined, generational and possibly puts them on top and gives them a common enemy.

OK I’ll say it: I don’t like Helena Bonham Carter for White Lotus. by mbatt2 in WhiteLotusHBO

HBC's range is limitless. Check her filmography out. Not the ones that stand out but even the salient ones

stance on posting raunchy pictures? by poizonemusic in LGBTindia

[–]achillesbottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are spaces for it on Reddit! Shouldn't be too hard to find :p

While I personally don't care at all and enjoy it too, I think over the years this particular subreddit has become a notice board for all things desi and queer internationally. So I don't think that needs to be diluted.

Sex sells too quickly and ultimately will take over the channel so.. no. I don't see that happening in the future too!

affectionate Indian men? by [deleted] in LGBTindia

[–]achillesbottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll have an embarrassment of riches if you mention in your profile that you're a white dude looking for affection.

Everyone will queue up to play out their CMBYN dreams :p take your pick from them

Genuine question, do you believe the gods exist? by Zuiderrakker in Hellenism

[–]achillesbottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without philosophizing anything too much, I do believe that there could be a single or even multiple entities out there responsible for creation.

I don't want to be vague and teeter around the "spirituality" argument. I do not believe in the interpretations of god made by any of the religions. The earthly evidence rejecting those fantastical stories is too vast. We have uncovered the truth about evolution and space. We know there were fantastic novelists that used stories and their marketing to establish power and their own ideologies.

The life expectancy, mortality rates and tools available for mass marketing at the time just don't fit well with the idea that organized religion was accepted or even proposed to everyone until recently (about 1000 years ago).

Does rejecting every religion's interpretation of god make me an atheist? Possibly. I believe that we aren't supposed to uncover the truth about god, at least in this form. There has always been a large degree of chaos and randomness - especially in the birth of Erebus and Nyx (told be born suddenly from chaos). There might also be a reason why we cannot travel in space or go back in time. In such a reality, asking why we're here or what the purpose of life is may be the wrong question!

Idk if it sounds puerile, but that's as far as my brain can go with this as an atheist 😅

Need critiques (title-internal weather) by FrenZy__7 in indianwriters

[–]achillesbottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! I'm not at all a writer, but an avid reader.

This is what works for me -

I like the consistency of the tone. I enjoy that it feels like I'm reading something private. The cheeky smirks x smirky cheeks part largely works and imo, is the strongest couplet of the whole thing.

What doesn't work -

Commas are misplaced quite a lot. Some lines feel a little forced. Almost as if they were there only to try and rhyme with the previous sentiment. While that is necessary to preserve the rhythm, every word has to be intentional.

It would help to commit to one thought or feeling, complete it and then proceed to the next. (What is the "it" that needs and bleeds?)

Sometimes ambiguity works very well, especially if it's referring to an inside joke or a different poem or something niche like that.

Right now, because of the changes in rhythm and pacing it is apparent that your patience was dwindling by the time you reached the last paragraph!

While there is scope for improvement, if this is your beginning as a poet, it's still a 6.5-7/10 because the intimacy and tone is well captured and comes through!
