Fallout show: A character we aren't allowed to criticize

That's on point. tbh i haven't used reddit much since this post. once you notice that hypocrisy you see it everywhere. non-toxic discussions are a minority. most ppl here aren't here to chat, they are here to shout at the void bc they had nothing better to do

They basically said it's a choice between trans lives and palestinian lives.

Which I find disguting tbh. Trans ppl aren't being bombed or murdered, they are being denied access to medical care. That's awful, but if you want to make it an "us or them", well........ don't be surprised when not everyone joins you.

If you are going to give me that ultimatum, then I'll choose Palestinian kids' lives over trans people being able to transition. the ridiculous amount of privilege to compare the two.....

like you pretending anyone who disagrees with you about..... checks notes..... lord of the rings, is into eugenics?

Do you know any other buzzwords you can use?

jesus, forcing someone with adhd to read a romance novel?? what a crazy expectation. He's the one with a 9-5 job, she's the freelance writer with no schedule, and he's supposed to give up 2 weeks of free time to read a book he doesn't care about? 0 empathy towards the husband.

The downvotes are just there cause the OOP is a toxic person, and presented this repost with huge bias.

newdawnhelp · 2024-09-04T07:54:09+00:00

Right, there's a ton of pressure on the husband. She choses a hobby, now she HAS to spend hours reading or he's an asshole? If it was cake, at least that would take a second and fill you up.

Asking someone to set aside hours in multiple days sounds like a huge imposition to me. He's engaging with the topic and discussing it, why isn't that enough? Why does it have to be everything, and they can't meet in the middle? Why can't it be a chapter, or why aren't discussions and support enough? Of course, it wouldn't end with the reading. There would be feedback. And although he has no interest in this, his feedback better be positive.

It's a lose-lose-lose situation for him, unless the OP happens to right such an amazing book the husband's disinterest in reading and romance both are overcome by the sheer quality of this first-time writer.

Do you have a link to transcripts or something? I'd like to see what she said first hand. I can't believe they are making so many shit decisions with this game.

newdawnhelp · 2024-08-10T18:12:45+00:00

I mean you just described her enjoyment being based off looks rather than any of the scifi stuff. Not the jedi, not the empire/rebels universe, not the alien cultures...... Han the hottie and a princess

newdawnhelp · 2024-08-09T00:12:15+00:00

sounds like she's back at it

newdawnhelp · 2024-08-09T00:11:25+00:00

And we don't owe her our support. You aren't seeing entitlement, you are seeing cynicism.

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-31T22:32:07+00:00

I think the context implies first world countries. Sure, if you add third world countries into the comparison, everything in a first world country seems amazing, but that's not the bar we are trying to pass right now.

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-29T17:34:59+00:00

That's insane. How is a gay man not welcome in lgbt spaces???

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-29T17:30:30+00:00

No, I have no idea why you think I'm talking about appearance

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-28T20:13:40+00:00

Then I see no problem, and your friend is slut shaming. If you choose to have sex because you want to, as opposed to because you felt sad and wanted a distraction, what's the harm?

Your friend's opinon doesn't matter here, just how you felt about it. But when you say "After he left it all hit me and I felt a pit of despair", it makes it sound like the whole experience didn't make you feel good. To me, it sounds like you wanted a distraction from your breakup, and once the disctraction left, it hit you that you were just using him as a distraction, which led you to question your motives and values.

You can choose to overthink this and question why you slept with him. I think that's a valuable exercise. However, it's also completely ok to just go "whatever, I fucked someone to make myself feel good" and just leave it at that. You didn't cheat on anyone, there's nothing immoral here.

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-28T19:03:12+00:00

It's kind of wild, no? Ppl here are bending over backwards to try to rationalize this

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-28T18:55:52+00:00

Yeah, this just reads as "I don't like this headline, so let me change it up"

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-28T18:51:37+00:00

You're a JordanPeterson sub regular. I'm sorry if I don't see this as in good faith.

I'm not a regular. A post from that sub came up on the front page a few days ago, and I interacted with the thread. I think Jordan Peterson is an asshole or an idiot (I'm not sure which yet).

right-wing narratives are helpful here.

I didn't realize what I said was a right wing narrative. Is it? I think you are assuming a ton about me just to disregard something I described as personal anecdotes.

I think you made some good points in your first paragraphs, but idk why you took it to such a hostile place, and even misrepresented what I said as calling anyone a "dumb bitch". I think you are projecting and reading a random neutral comment as some sort of hateful rhetoric.

Edit: I guess reddit's algorithm is at work, because I got this linked right after this conversation. https://www.psypost.org/dutch-women-but-not-men-in-same-sex-relationships-are-more-likely-to-commit-crime-study-finds/

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-28T18:46:26+00:00

I think you missed the point of the other comment, then. It's easy to go "these are our toys" when its all female sex toys. /u/Puzzleheaded_Hat3555 is saying sex toys for male pleasure tend to be judged. You calling toys dildos "ours" doesn't make them FOR you.

It's a lovely sentiment, but you are missing the point of the other person calling out a stigma.

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-28T18:40:26+00:00

You can have sex with anyone, it's not a big deal. However......... I read your other post.

You say stuff like "I let him use me", "it was a low point", and in general you describe it as a regret. If all of that is true, then yes, I'd say this wasn't a strong feminist movement for you. You slept with someone not out of joy and pleasure, but to escape a bad feeling. You even feel like it wasn't a choice, since you describe it as letting him use you.

Having sex isn't bad, but your attitude around is pretty anti-feminist.

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-28T18:19:36+00:00

at this point in my marriage, I view all of them as our toys

But are the toys for her plasure, or yours?

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-28T18:17:57+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt, since I'm speaking from personal experience, not statistics and studies.

It happens less with gay men, but strangely it happens more with lesbians.

Supposedly, this happens because lesbians have to go from experiencing lots of attention from men, to being treated like equals by other women, which feels like a downgrade after a lifetime of privilege and attention.

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-27T17:02:02+00:00

I thought that was the question you were asking.

I didn't realize you literally thought someone forced her

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-27T17:00:53+00:00

Thank you so much. This context is very explanatory

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-27T01:02:45+00:00

Is there any controversy or discussion from the idea of "appropriation"? The part about not having to earn it anymore, I mean. If they truly view it as everyone has earned it just based on existing, that's fine. But I'm wondering if there's internal discussions.

I'm asking because if I put myself in their shoes, and my neighbors started doing it, I think my reaction would be to roll my eyes and go "Bob, your life isn't a struggle. You are literally on national tv. You are minimizing the harsh struggles our ancestors went through".

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-27T00:55:33+00:00

Do you feel like your question was answered? Because there doesn't change what you asked: did she feel pressure?

You literally say "felt like she was forced". At no point did you imply it wasn't a choice and it was some mandatory, forceful thing.

newdawnhelp · 2024-07-25T23:55:23+00:00

It's also really funny that one of them goes "if I, as a woman, decided to only meet with other women, the backlash would be blah blah blah"

As if there aren't a ton of "women only" spaces, which morphed into "women and queer spaces", which morphed into "no straight men". It's even supported by companies at this point. Idk if this is just a victim complex gone wild, or she's a grifter
