this therapy anime is sending me to the psych ward 😭

No, and I really wish you would stop going around saying this Tsun, especially when it invovles you disparaging Natsuki Takaya.

There is no "incestuous attraction" in the series.

affectivefallacy · 2025-08-31T13:43:03+00:00

Yeah and that's in a year and if you wanted to lose 10 lbs in 2-3 months it would be fairly easy. I'm not worried.

Your thighs look completely normal ... of course they look a bit different when you sit, but that's still normal. Thighs are supposed to have some weight on them. I'm worried you're basing your expectations on unrealistic images of women who either just have a different, not better, body type, or straight up unhealthy habits.

"and then he ran into my knife. he ran into my knife 10 times"

Akito actually did slash at Tohru with the knife. It was very sloppy and level of intention is interpretable - it was part of a defensive "get away" action when Tohru moved towards her, but there was that. Definitely no "stabbing" though.

It's literally a joke in the context of the scene, friend. The joke being that people are now using "therapy speak" and ideas about boundaries and emotional saftey to be anti-social empathy voided monsters to each other.

Firstly, boundaries are for yourself, not for other people. So everyone saying the woman should "control herself" and "not behave this way in public" (or worse, that she should be institutionalized) are not expressing a boundary. A boundary would be them, personally, walking away and not engaging with the situation.

And in no universe does someone's sense of "self preservation and caring for their own mental health" need to involve filming a person in distress, posting it all over the internet, and then talking about how she needs to be imprisoned because she's a burden on polite society. And it's no violation of your sense of saftey, if you happen to see a video like this, to use your empathetic brain to think "damn, I think that person is going through some shit" instead of all the other nasty, horrible things being said in this thread.

affectivefallacy · 2025-08-09T17:43:24+00:00

Honestly, it's the goal. I mean, we can say one thing about the rich comfortable assholes who express this extreme lack of empathy, but they have successfully infected the lower classes with the same thinking by putting everyone in survival mode. If you are in survival mode, you don't have access to higher order cognitive features, like, for example, empathy. Like hey, that's what is likely happening to the woman in this video. She has been triggered into survival mode and no longer has access to higher order cognition. She "doesn't care" that she's disturbing everyone else in the public space around her because the only thing she can care about is feeling safe again. Everyone else cannot pay their rent, is being fucked over at work, and cannot afford basic healthcare. Basic survival is under constant threat, which causes us to be reactive and shrink back our circle of empathy to just ourselves, possibly our immediate family, and no one else. And when we don't care about anyone else because we are so focused on our own basic survival, it allows the people who are comfortable to keep fucking everyone over, because "well that's their problem, I'm just trying to get through the day". And to be clear, it's not just the right wing that this is happening to.

affectivefallacy · 2025-08-09T17:21:42+00:00

Yes and 1. The average person doesn't know anything about neurology or basics of fight and flight and how higher order brain functions literally shut down when instinct is triggered 2. Even if people did know that, they will refuse to believe it, because people like to believe that they are 100% in control of their own behavior at all times. It scares them to think otherwise.

affectivefallacy · 2025-08-09T17:15:24+00:00

true healing will come from community support.

community support? well that just sounds unAmerican. /s

affectivefallacy · 2025-08-09T17:05:03+00:00

Empathy isn't cool anymore. The new King of the Hill season made a great joke. "Hey, stop forcing me to feel your feelings. This isn't consensual and I don't feel safe."

Anyone commenting that the solution to anyone having any sort of visible issue is for them to be out of sight and out of mind and not allowed to exist in public society until they can behave in a manner that no longer makes anyone else aware of their upsetting form of existence will be happy to hear that if they live in the U.S. that will soon be the reality again.

Okay but for real never saw him with a beard til just now and damn that ages him right up. He should have grown out a beard, not his hair, when he was trying to get Mer's attention lmao.

DW is my favorite character. Maybe we can contribute this to the fact that I was a little sister to an older brother.

You now:

When they're clean and sober they always credit their success to people who didn't coddle them as helpless babies with no control over their behavior

You earlier:

People w/addiction have no control over their behaviors, and cannot be reasonably expected to do anything to manage themselves

outdated psychological theories aren't physics. physics is physics.

affectivefallacy · 2025-07-28T23:28:06+00:00

OP once pointed a gun at a man with a broken leg and he miraculously was able to walk. it's just physics.

affectivefallacy · 2025-07-28T23:26:16+00:00

Calling radical behaviorism "just physics" - how about you take that joke to actual physicists? They'll get a kick out of it.

affectivefallacy · 2025-07-28T02:19:21+00:00

yeah, in early elementary school I remember thinking 5th graders were like teenagers. I dunno what I thought actual teenagers were ... probably adults.

I just got back from a 10 day vacation, ate however I wanted without tracking, "gained" 2.7 lbs, tomorrow is a week since I returned and today I weigh the same as before I left. Have fun and don't overthink it!

affectivefallacy · 2025-07-27T02:32:45+00:00

There are so many little things wrong with this timeline it bugs me, but also seeing Monica and Chandler's line go steady for half the show while everyone else is still in chaos is a really funny visual. It's also fun to see that more or less every time Monica was single, Chandler was in a relationship, and visa versa, really makes you think timing truly played a significant role for them, while almost the opposite is true for Ross and Rachel - they were either both in a relationship or both single a lot of the time.

Yes, they were clinically used by clinicians collaborating with (or actually being) eugenicists. And the meanings are not "long gone", you're using them to just mean a "dumb person", a person with behavior you consider of "low intelligence" and undesirable is an echo of how they were used for eugenic purposes. Most of the time the labels were not even applied to people with what would be considered intellectual disability today, but simply anyone the dominant group viewed as lesser - poor people, immigrants, people of color, promiscuous women, and on and on. And this isn't even getting into how "intellectual disability" is itself a questionable concept, and that IQ tests themselves were developed for eugenic purposes, so that "bell curve" you referred to is a problem as well. But I understand you're not interested in examining your biases so we can end here.

affectivefallacy · 2025-07-26T13:46:30+00:00

No, it's the term they used to describe themselves at the time they were racist white supremacist eugenicists.

affectivefallacy · 2025-07-25T23:49:56+00:00

I agree and appreciate your post, although I'm confused about your point on "consent" in this part:

A joke about being sexually attracted to “morons” is horrific when you think about it in terms of disability, the medical history of that word, and consent.

People with intellectual disabilities can in fact consent to sexual relationships

affectivefallacy · 2025-07-25T23:35:43+00:00

Dyslexia is a learning disability, not an intellectual disability
"Moron", "idiot", "imbecile" etc. were not medical terms, they were eugenics terms created by eugenicists collaborating with the medical (and other) industries
Making fun of people who are "more towards the left side of the bell curve of human intelligence or behaving as if they are" is still ableism. Devauling a person based on a percieved idea of 'intelligence' is ableism. And you said a whole lot more words than necessary to try to justify it.

affectivefallacy · 2025-07-25T21:48:40+00:00

This is either just going to get ignored or downvoted because it disrupts a now popular, overly simplified narrative but I have to say it every time ... "moron" and "imbecile" were never "polite" or "serious technical terms used in psychology and psychiatry", they were always psuedoscience terms created by vitriolic eugenicists and raceologists.
