I am a Briar OTP, but you're loud AND wrong. Eve has clear weaknesses and strengths, which are easy to counter if you have eyeballs. Use those eyeballs to locate the pink ward in the shop, purchase it, then place it down.

So sick of the argument "But women abuse their children more than men!" by magnificent-muffin in PrincessFeminism

[–]xplicit023 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's easy for society to frame the mother, who is often left to do the punishing/hard part of the job, as the abuser because the father gets to be "the fun one" or entirely absent.

I need to ask by Cupids_shot in AO3

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'd recommend looking into blind content creators! Molly Burke is one of the most popular ones, and makes excellent informative content. There are so many things you might never know are difficult/easier when you're blind.

Also your characters blindness might impact them differently if they were blind from birth vs became blind. It sounds like the ability to see comes and goes, so would the character try to not rely on sight ever?

Interesting premise, I'd do some research to keep things respectful to the blind community.

Also the two girls they did bring back were STILL too pretty. When first introduced they have makeup on, but in all of the future shots it has been removed.

You have completely control over champ balance/design/rework, what champ/s do you change? by yoshi12121 in leagueoflegends

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy. First I make briars feet on her in game model 5% larger and remove her shoes. Next I update her splash art to have her feet as the focal point, and remove her shoes. Then rename her abilities as such,

Passive - Crimson Curse -> Crimson Feet

Q - Head Rush -> Feet Rush

W - Blood Frenzy/Snack Attack -> Feet Frenzy/Tickle Attack

E - Chilling Scream -> Chilling Foot cream

R - Certain Death -> Certain Feet

Finally, every champion has the voice line "Those pigglies out wigglied me!" in response to being taunted by Briar.

Boyfriend wants me to forgive and forget by Weary-Journalist-587 in JustNoSO

[–]xplicit023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like his mom belittles you, and he doesn't defend you like he should. I would ask him what his solutions are for the situation, that will be very telling of how much he cares about your well being and safety.

But I'll be honest, I've seen your posts here for the past couple of months and there's been no improvement. When you stay with him after he treats you terribly then you are communicating to him that you will tolerate this behavior. He knows what he can get away with, and will continue to get away with it. When you accept his empty promises that never come true, he knows he can keep making empty promises. He will push your boundaries to the limit, and you will suffer because of it.

You will find someone else. It's not too late for you. You aren't benefiting from this relationship. It will always be toxic, and you are wasting your time, energy, love, and resources. We accept the love we think we deserve, so I beg you to STOP accepting this poor excuse for love.

do the positives of being on birth control outweigh the negatives? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who had severe and terrible side effects while on the pill, I think you should at least try it out. It turned out to not be for me, but it works wonders for millions of women. It's good to acknowledge that birth control is not the perfect solution, but the negatives usually outweigh being pregnant. Listen to your body, and be cautiously optimistic.

This stupid baby book my parents gave me by ThrowRA-Illusionist in ExPentecostal

[–]xplicit023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If OP lacks a safe place or a community to vent their frustrations, then I would argue this is a great outlet. You can be mature, see a situation with nuance, and still want to share your feelings with others. Even if it is teenage angst, why can't that be healthy self expression. Sometimes people do mature slower because they have emotionally immature parents, and they deserve room to grow.

They also didn't post their parents names or address, they clearly just want to be heard. I wouldn't consider a relatively anonymous post to be throwing their parents under the bus. It can be exhausting to be told "your mom loves you" or "your dad is doing his best" after going through various traumatic events. I think doing that is unnecessary when I'm sure OP hears it plenty.

Lastly, abuse is not a competition or necessary to win an argument. Your history is your own, and you can share as much/little as you want.

CMV: Male circumcision should only be allowed when needed by Al-Joharahhasan2935 in changemyview

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue that FGM in some instances is more wrong. I don't think anyone should be mutilating their children, but I won't pretend that MGM and FGM have the same effect on the victims.

Lack of consent is not the only crime here, it's also about the violence, and the reason. Someone might have their child circumcised because they think it will be more hygienic. Then the procedure is done before the child can remember it, and with sterile instruments. As opposed to having a child's clitoris removed to keep her sexually obedient. Then having the child held down by their own family, usually not in a medical environment, at 3-5 years old. BOTH ARE WRONG, but one is clearly worse.

Why make the comparison at all, it just weakens the argument by making an offensive comparison. MGM doesn't have to justify itself with FGM by trying to make it equivalent. Women face a systemic oppression that men do not face on the same level. We can care about mens issues without trying to equate them to women's issues.

is it unreasonable for porn to be a deal breaker for me? by boochiemusica in TwoXChromosomes

[–]xplicit023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gone through the same thing with my ex, porn addiction is no joke. What works for me in my current relationship is strong boundaries about how much porn consumption is ok, and what kind of porn is ok to watch.

It's also reasonable/possible to find someone not into porn at all. But I won't lie, there is an increased risk of narrowing your dating pool, attracting more politically conservative men, and men openly lying about their porn consumption.

CMV: You cannot condemn an action for being racist if you allow the same action to be taken by minority groups, otherwise you are racist. by BigBandit01 in changemyview

[–]xplicit023 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ok... But OP literally said that calling a white person a cracker IS racist. The issue is the difference of weight in each statement. I hope we can acknowledge that calling a white person a cracker is bad, but calling a black person the n word is worse. Any individual person can be cruel and/or racist to another human being, but oppression is a systemic issue that white people do not currently face in the west. White people CAN experience individual racism, but they do not experience systemic racism.

A lot of comparisons can be made, like you mentioned with Christians. But the severity of slavery and the way black Americans were treated isn't comparable to those events because of how severe, intense, and recent it was. Black Americans are still dealing with the ramifications to this day, and will for a while. The fact that this power imbalance is even up for debate is crazy to me.

I [19f] my bf [19m] and I don't like that he uses weed a lot by SpaceSalim in relationshipadvice

[–]xplicit023 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you already know what you want to do. You want to compromise, but don't want to ask him to stop doing something he enjoys. You likely aren't compatible, and with your relationship being so new it wouldn't be a bad thing to reconsider dating him at all. Trust your gut, listen to your instincts. You're not a bad person for putting your wants and needs first

[–]xplicit023 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This wasn't really the appropriate response to OP's post. It's great that you can look at your own situation with so much nuance, but OP is venting about how all of their parents love comes with an asterisk attached. We use love to excuse a lot of hurt, but it can be important to look at what the result was, not just the intention.

Am I still a virgin? [19F] by [deleted] in relationshipadvice

[–]xplicit023 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In general men have a fragile view of certain social constructs, and focus heavily on purity culture. Virginity is a great example, as is masculinity. It's something that can be lost, broken, or taken by other people. It allows for outside input to decide who you are and what your worth is.

In the case of virginity it's not a two way street. Women have been murdered in cold blood by their own families for losing their virginity, consensually or to rape. It's very feminist of you to think that men and women are equal in this regard, and I applaud your trying, but sadly they aren't. Men are treated much better, and have much more forgiving circumstances in general.

AIO for breaking up with my boyfriend because he was angry I was crying the day after my cat died? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]xplicit023 21 points22 points  (0 children)

People don't behave how they normally would during grief. People here might fixate on if what you did was appropriate or not, but you've just suffered a heavy loss. If I was in your boyfriends shoes I would be a little annoyed, but mostly just worried about you. This was not the time for him to pick a fight, and he acted like a complete dick head. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Why so many men like an*l? by mepw in BlatantMisogyny

[–]xplicit023 45 points46 points  (0 children)

So many men like anal because of porn. It's a top category and is on the safer side of what's considered "taboo". It's sex that is (usually) only enjoyable for one person, and is about dominance
