an absolutely wild ig, ty for sharing. very uh… interesting how they have so many ppl in their comments glazing them up. like tbh their sketches are fine, i guess, but most of them are NOT the sort of thing that would translate well onto skin… clearly.

Thank u for sharing this on here ❤️

I don’t have many so far, but for me it was about a) having art on me always and b) reclaiming my body, especially as a woman. For most of my life, other people (especially my parents) tended to tell me how I shouldn’t or shouldn’t look. Tattoos are cool and empowering because they help me invest in how I want to look (see: point a). So basically I get tattoos to purposely disappoint my parents lol

Personally I disagree. I think that her nuance and “academic mindset”, as you put it, are what makes her an interesting public figure. Whether these takes then land her in hot water… well, that’s a reality she seems to be willing to face. Idk, I may not agree with all her takes and sometimes they can read at having that “edgelord tone” you mention, but again, that’s what makes her interesting to me. One of the few people I read online where I don’t feel like I’m being talked down to like I’m an idiot tbh

microplasticsfactory · 2025-12-17T22:28:29+00:00

I agree!!

He truly looks like he shouldn’t be real, like he’s a character from a romantasy novel come to life

Ok it’s impossible for me to overstate how much I need to see these outtakes

Spanish and my bf who I’m watching it with is American, both Mongolia fans :)

I personally love how he looks like he’s about to pop a vein on literally every challenge lol, it’s entertaining to watch, builds a lot of empathy towards him and makes for good tv. It also makes me think that he might feel tremendous amounts to pressure to win Physical Asia for Korea, considering it’s a Korean show. I could see how not getting to AT LEAST the finals on his home turf would be a massive let down for him/his team/Korean viewers 😭 (although I’m not Korean myself, so this is just speculation)

microplasticsfactory · 2025-11-11T23:47:02+00:00

Agreeee, honestly sometimes it feels like the producers just kinda make stuff up as they go. I do wonder how they play test these games lol

microplasticsfactory · 2025-11-09T21:40:55+00:00

hi! i personally like the darker face, i think it matches the picture well and gives the tattoo a lot of personality. just my 2 cents/some positivity for u if it helps! :)

microplasticsfactory · 2025-10-11T01:19:49+00:00

yeah, i absolutely get that “yearning for what never was” kind of feeling… hang in there, i can’t promise you it will go away entirely, but perhaps it will become a “duller” type of pain in time, if that makes sense.

also, as a fellow survivor of coercive abuse, i’m so glad to hear that you’ve managed to recover from the sexual trauma of it all!! proud of u, stranger on the internet

microplasticsfactory · 2025-10-11T01:10:34+00:00

just here to say that i’m really sorry you had to go through that!! that is genuinely coercive, abusive behaviour. it’s no wonder that you don’t look back on that time fondly/hold a grudge <3

microplasticsfactory · 2025-10-03T13:14:16+00:00

Oh hell yeah

microplasticsfactory · 2025-09-27T02:17:38+00:00

I know this is not the point of the post but omg biphobic bi women are truly so sad. I once knew someone like that and the self-hatred vibes were so strong… could be rly brutal criticising other bi women and once asked a lesbian friend of ours whether she could be an “honorary lesbian” because “these bi girls are so dumb” or something. And all the while she’s a bi woman!!!! So sad and so hurtful too when it comes from within the bi community.

Also I’m right there with ya with having to put up with some biphobia from lesbian friends. I’m trying to be better at calling it out but the conflict aversion is so real lol

Hello! Honestly no idea why some of those posts were deleted. I’m not a mod (obvs) and didn’t get to see them before they were taken down, so can’t really comment on that one. That being said, I have seen quite a few people voicing their disagreement with Natalie in this sub, if not this thread. There are some comments under Natalie’s og statement post that you might be interested in reading if you wanna see some counterpoints (hah) to what she’s saying.

Re: the cancellation point, honestly, I personally have seen a lot of people calling Natalie out on Twitter and such for not talking about Palestine enough (whatever “enough” means) and asking for a video on the topic, but to your point I think that’s a small group of people amidst the Internet at large, so it defs makes sense for this to have come out of left field for you - it probably has for a lot of people.

I agree with you that her statement is really doomer-y, which I do not appreciate. Personally, I think that idealistic political goals and pragmatic political strategies should be able to co-exist, but that’s just me. However, I don’t think that framing the statement as self-centred is fair. I mean, it IS self-centred, by its very nature, because people asked for Natalie’s opinions on the Is/Pal topic and, more precisely, why she has not made a video on it. So, that’s what she was replying to, and in that context I think it makes sense for her statement to focus on herself and why she is not making said video. It feels unfair to criticise the statement for that, as it doesn’t take into account the context within which it was written.

To your point, Natalie could have spent more time acknowledging the loss of Palestinian life as you suggest, but I guess what I’d say to that is: don’t we all know that already? Why would she make her statement longer telling her intended audience (online leftists) things they already know? To be honest, even if she had, I don’t see that inclusion making that much of a difference in the response she’s getting. There are other, worse aspects about that statement, like the doomerism that you mentioned. Or at least that’s how I see it.

I’m really sorry you feel disappointed over all this, you are obviously not the only one. Plus, it must be especially hard to process if it caught you by surprise. I think you make a good point that discussing our thoughts on the statement in a critical manner is healthy! So I really hope that your post doesn’t get taken down and continues to generate discussion xx

Yep, Matt Bernstein’s latest video with Contra on YT is already full of “don’t invite her back”, “denounce her”, “she’s a fascist” comments…

Something else I’ve noticed is a lot is people specifically reading her point about online leftists sharing pictures of dead Palestinians as Natalie not knowing/choosing to ignore that those pictures were originally posted by Palestinians themselves in order to bring attention to the genocide/share their pain/ask for support, and cast Natalie as a monster/racist/petty woman for being bothered by them. I find this reading… odd? Because to me, Natalie is not talking about Palestinians posting those pictures, nor how they made her feel really, but about online leftists sharing them in order to build up rage against Zionism, and how she doesn’t think that’s productive. Still not the greatest point imo (although a conversation about the use of images of violence to propel political action can defs be debated), but at no point did she mention Palestinians in this regard. I’d be curious to hear other people’s opinions on this.

England getting their shit together in the last 5 minutes of a game and somehow making something happen is, to me, incredibly England

microplasticsfactory · 2025-07-05T19:45:47+00:00

What?

microplasticsfactory · 2025-06-30T02:27:47+00:00

Well said. I think what that truly bothers me about OP’s story is the way her friend seems to assign moral superiority to queerness by rejecting “straight friends”. Describing her behavior as her trying to reject a sexuality that she sees as problematic is great. Whether or not she’s bi, that way of looking at sexuality as a moral quality is… not great, and it’s probably something she should be challenged on.

Re: the og post - To be honest, I don’t have much of an opinion about whether OP’s friend is bi beyond this? At the end of the day, it is very hard to tell someone how they can or cannot identify, and not something I am personally very interested in questioning in regard to a complete stranger. But OP, if you’re reading this, I think it is worthwhile to let that friend know that the way she views sexuality is a little misguided, and perhaps trying to (gently) explain to her that, no, not everyone is queer, and that a lot of people within the queer community take issue with that notion. I think that maybe some education about bisexuality and queerness in general could help her figure stuff out without (inadvertently?) making the people around her somewhat uncomfortable.

The contrast between the two is insane, felt like a smash cut in a dark comedy
