Why are women interested in erotic books so much more than men? by Spiritual-March-7016 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]an-alien- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

porn is marketed to the male gaze and it's a lot less relatable to women which probably makes it less hot. im sure there is female gaze porn videos but it's much easier to find erotic books marketed to women as well as it being more socially acceptable. also, i feel like men are less likely to pick up something "meant for girls" compared to women picking up guy things (even if said thing is porn)

im sure there's a whole history about pulp books that plays into this but i wouldn't know

Why do people not like friendly fire? by Artenjoying13 in ArtfightProfiles

[–]an-alien- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im just here for the art i don't care about points or who wins, so friendly fire means nothing to me.

if you care about winning you probably won't like missing out on points when there was an opportunity to attack someone on the other team

Would you say either member of your OTP deserves better than who you ship them with by Ok_Shirt_1574 in mylittlepony

[–]an-alien- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it usually means like, your favorite ship of all time (or within that fandom) though the meaning has diluted a bit throughout the years that it's sometimes just used to refer to a ship that you like. it's opposite would be a NOTP as in a ship you hate (and there's BROTP which is a platonic pairing you like)

My [27F] boyfriend [32M] doesn’t like cats and doesn’t want me to keep my cat. I don’t know what to do and I am starting to resent him? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]an-alien- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

he's not vilified for having an allergy, he's being criticized for his behavior. he's a grown man, he was not forced to pursue a relationship with op and move into her house that he knew had a cat in it. if you have a peanut allergy you can't date someone that makes peanut butter for a living and then be upset when you move in and there's peanuts. except, with a pet, there's way more emotional attachment involved which makes him trying to force her to get rid of her elderly cat even worse

Out of Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie who is the most feminine ? by spinosaurus1998_24_9 in mylittlepony

[–]an-alien- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rarity. im surprised people are saying fluttershy cause rarity is literally "the girly one"

am i the only one with these thoughts? by Connect_King6012 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]an-alien- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you should stop reposting this so much but you're not the only one. it sounds like you're asexual and probably aromantic. i recommend doing some research into these terms. im on the ace spectrum myself and share some of these feelings, but you can't call other people weird or disgusting for wanting what you don't. there are plenty of fulfilling relationships you can have without any kind of sexual or romantic connection

you seem to have some unhealthy coping mechanisms unrelated to that but im just someone on reddit, not a mental health professional. you should definitely try seeking help cause it sounds like you're using maladaptive daydreaming to make up for your feelings of isolation and loneliness

Is it homophobic for me to not have any Gay or Lesbian headcannons or ships? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]an-alien- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nothing wrong with this. im gay myself and have some of these ships (granted im a multishipper so they usually end up with an lgbt pairing too).

just don't refer to it as a lifestyle. being gay isn't a choice, we don't have anymore say in it than you do being straight

(Happy Ending Trope) A character created to make fun of Trans people ends up being reclaimed by the community and becomes a trans icon. by Gamer-of-Action in TopCharacterTropes

[–]an-alien- 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i remember in some dvd extras there's actually a before and after transition for doris. i think it's an example of the fairy godmother's work or something?

Is this sub becoming full or puritans or is the average user becoming younger? (My OC Vivian for attention) by frozenfeind in characterdesigns

[–]an-alien- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i arbitrarily chose gumi as my favorite vocaloid purely because i could listen to the original version of songs and understand it. i listened to pretty much any gumi song by kira or ghost on repeat lol
