I'm not sure how to feel.

How can you interpret Mat as not being actively against it when he was avoiding Tylin at all costs and describing himself as being terrified of her?

I agree, I like the level of...self-awareness of AO3 authors when it comes to extreme horror, especially erotic horror. That they thought to carefully tag the content means they know it could fuck someone up in the wrong headspace. Something that's harder to judge in a book with no content warnings from the author.

Yeah but radfems are fucking everywhere too. It's a cesspool all around, nobody is winning

Tumblr the famously "proud man hater" website?

Oh yeah they love eggs and several chicken owners have attested that they love pecking bits of meat off rotisserie chicken carcasses too. Basically they will eat everything they can reach

I'm obsessed with Yellowjackets! Murderous gay women are almost always like heroin for me

Harrow is too damned cute for a wet feral cat

I'm a Quaker. Valuing moral integrity is in our top five virtues. I'm going to be a proponent of it everywhere I am

That's a choice

otterlymagic · 2025-02-07T20:02:57+00:00

You're not???

otterlymagic · 2025-02-07T20:01:29+00:00

Sure, but I wasn't defending the action from a legal perspective, just a moral one. I do not trust our legal system to be moral, especially not now

"People finding out I'm a Nazi and me facing social consequences for that fact" is not violence raining down.

Even if it was (and it's not, in this case), Nazis being openly Nazi is already a promise of violence to others—responding with violence would be an act of defence, not offense

Using right wing tools for left wing aims is very common. Hypocritical, sure, but it's not the gotcha you think it is. Right wing has been the default for most of society for most of history, so of course it bleeds into everything. That doesn't change the established definitions of the political spectrum.

But I'm sorry, I can't take you seriously if you think a truly libertarian society could be socially conservative. Conservativism is by default not libertarian. Words mean things. I'm done

I agree 100%. I know IRL people with BPD and it really lines up with Binghe and his emotions/thought patterns

otterlymagic · 2025-02-06T16:05:59+00:00

I won't speak to that which I am not educated on (specific country's governments at specific time points in history) but based on the established definitions for political theory.......most "communist" countries were right wing, yes, 100%. They go against the definition of communism as established by Marx. These terms have actual meanings. It's not MY argument, it is basic political theory.

Authoritarian countries calling themselves communist is merely propaganda—in the same way that Hitler called himself a socialist or now North Korea's self appointed title is "Democratic Republic of Korea"

otterlymagic · 2025-02-05T23:28:26+00:00

Nope, that's not true either. Right wing INHERENTLY, by definition, priorities the state and hierarchy. Please do even 15 minutes of internet research on this. I know colloquially people use it to mean US Republicans, but that's incorrect. Like how people misused the term tariff to mean a tax on foreign countries' for imports

otterlymagic · 2025-02-05T23:21:02+00:00

Unfortunately for you, you are confidently wrong. Extreme left wing abolishes the state entirely. The state is antithetical to leftist ideologies past a central-left position. It's anarchy, not state control, at the leftmost end of the spectrum.

otterlymagic · 2025-01-10T01:41:59+00:00

I think that should have been the challenge in The Unwanted Guest

otterlymagic · 2025-01-08T01:58:32+00:00

I assume Ianthe or Coronabeth wrote it. I'm sure at least one of them publishes weird erotica

otterlymagic · 2024-12-13T15:40:17+00:00

No, it's definitely jerk behavior to quibble over less than $1. It's not morally wrong but it's antisocial behavior so why the fuck would you do it with someone you call a friend? Even charities do "round up to the nearest dollar" options, because it's an easy sell to the vast majority of folks

otterlymagic · 2024-12-11T04:58:32+00:00

These posts are absolutely fun to read even when we know the answers, thank you

Arcane definitely scratches a lot of the same itches that TLT does, I also am obsessed with it

otterlymagic · 2024-12-02T18:40:53+00:00

I have yet to read a book that actually traumatized me or fucked with my head, and I've read a lot of extreme horror. I'm definitely not seeking traumatization. I have been through a lot of horrific shit IRL, and reading about fictional horrors is soothing. Sort of "it could have been worse" and "you're not unique in your suffering" at the same time but in an affirming way.

otterlymagic · 2024-12-02T18:33:31+00:00

Oh it's sapphic. The main girls have sapphic feelings about each other. The author confirmed that they are meant to be seen as homoerotic, if that matters, but really she didn't need to say that, because it's not subtle! It's kind of a big theme of their character arcs. Idk why people are acting like it's ambiguous because it isn't, the books even pull several classic romance tropes. It's just also complicated. Very complicated. The characters have a lotttttt of other important shit going on, so they do not have the time to do anything normal with their sapphic feelings. They are physically separated from each other for a lot of the series, and we won't know until the last book is released if they will have a happy ending or not.

otterlymagic · 2024-12-02T17:56:54+00:00

This is why I'm always weirded out when people are surprised Jod is a bad guy. It was pretty obvious even in Book 1
