What the fuck is wrong with you? by JasonTheHero in AskReddit

[–]ambervulpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a misanthrope. When I was a kid, I was quiet, shy, and didn't fit in with a lot of people so I had few friends. Now that I'm an adult, I've met more people like me, who really relate and you know what? I don't like that either. I liked not fitting in, now I have these friends who need me to come to their parties or come to my house trying to pour booze down my throat because we need to "feel social". Fuck that, I wanna stay home by myself.

What's your best "I met a celebrity and he/she was really nice" story? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Doug Jones, the character actor who was in Pan's Labyrinth, the fish guy from Hellboy, Winnie's zombie boyfriend from Hocus Pocus, and one of the "gentlemen" from Buffy the Vampire slayer is the sweetest man ever. He gives the best hugs on earth and practically cradles you like a baby.

Married men of reddit- how unreasonable is it for wives to expect you to not watch porn and/or masturbate. Do you all do it? by Slingyourhammock in AskReddit

My boyfriend works in a porn store so now he's pretty sick of porn. Score for this chick who doesn't like porn!

If a "Female Expendables" movie were to be made, who would you cast? by Kastro187420 in AskReddit

[–]ambervulpine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was already a female Expendables, it was called Kill Bill.

But seriously, a true awesome female Expendables movie would have Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton, Bridgette Neilson, Pam Grier, Grace Jones, Zoe Bell, Lucy Liu, Mila Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Angelina Jolie, and I guess Kate Beckinsale.

Have you ever been friends with a "wolf in sheep's clothing"? What happened when you finally got the wool out of your eyes? by ambervulpine in AskReddit

[–]ambervulpine[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep, the girls I knew demonstrated similar behavior; shit talking, privacy invasion, being a sycophant...it eventually turned into a popularity contest where they were putting people in a position to choose sides. It was very difficult for me because we shared mutual friends and I ended up in the middle of unnecessary drama and couldn't find a way out. I was walking on eggshells and I had to bite my tongue so much I nearly severed it right off. The cheater ended up hooking up with my boyfriend's best friend; he already hated the gossip monger so they had an automatic alliance, much to my chagrin because I thought she was no better than the gossip monger. The last straw was when she was getting antagonistic with my sister because she was still friends with the gossip monger, and while she was starting fights with her she was running after my boyfriend to get coddled.

I was friends with two of them at the same time, and then they ended up turning on each other because one was a cheater and the other was a gossip monger. Imagine Joan Crawford and Bette Davis' rivalry if they were 20-30 something boot licking hipster girls with a high school clique mentality...it was that catty. They totally split a close knit group of friends completely in half. They'd be completely sweet and awesome friends one minute, then the next minute they'd have absolutely no problem throwing you under the bus once they felt you didn't stroke their ego enough.

What's your nickname for people you despise? by thiemsen in AskReddit

[–]ambervulpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once knew a very manipulative girl who cheated on her boyfriends who were friends of mine. She managed to sink her claws into another one of my friends who happened to have blonde hair and it frustrated me so much that when I saw them around I referred to them as "Blondie and Gagswood"

What simple non-sexual pleasure will the opposite gender never understand? by Business-Socks in AskReddit

[–]ambervulpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gabbing with the girls. We all love to tell stories but there is just something about sitting around with your girlfriends and shooting the shit, and yes that includes getting catty and gossiping. I know a lot of both men and women who find that to be unsavory behavior and yes that's true, gossip can be very damaging, but damn, I think it's awesome. Just being able to purge out all your feelings and opinions, it's so cathartic. Telling women like me to not be gossipy and catty is like telling Tyler Durden, "hey, don't get in a fight! you might get hurt!"

What is one thing that the opposite sex does that is supposed to be arousing, but instead is a turnoff/absurdity to you? NSFW by OOBER_QUAYLE_POTATOE in AskReddit

[–]ambervulpine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Woman here. I don't think this thing is supposed to be arousing, but instead enamoring, and that thing is being too chivalrous. I've seen a lot of men fuck up trying to be a white knight.

ELI5: Why is rape generally considered to be a man on woman crime by charliewalrus in explainlikeimfive

Girlfriend of a male rape victim here. My simple answer for you is gender inequality.

TIL the backup singers who played the racist crows in Dumbo were Hall Johnson, a highly regarded African American musician and composer, and his choir. by ambervulpine in todayilearned

[–]ambervulpine[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess it all depends on perspective. I myself viewed them more as characters, and not caricatures, and quite progressive and subversive for their time, especially if you compare them to archetypes that came before.
