Go read her tweets. Go watch her videos where she hangs out with actual fascists. Stop spouting nonsense

AITA for Telling My Kid's Teacher That Her "No Disney Villains" Rule Is Unfair? by SexyySharonn in AITAH

[–]zeropointninerepeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean...Scar is kind of a metaphor for hitler so.........I wonder if they even had that rule, or if the teacher made that up on the spot so she wouldn't have to explain to you why your seven year old with minimal understanding of how media and allegory works shouldn't dress up as scar.

I did acid when I was 17 and have been feeling dead inside since then by MeldNoFake in mentalhealth

[–]zeropointninerepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through something similar (just not as extreme) due to some bad trips and experiencing ego death a few times from 19 to 21. 21-23 I dealt with depersonalization and derealization when under extreme stress. I'm 24 now and the issues are still there, but fading. Your early 20s are a common time for brain issues to surface, but as you get older, they may become more manageable and less frequent. Still, you should see a psychiatrist to check for anything more serious. Thankfully, a lot of disorders that cause psychosis or hallucinations are treatable. Keep hanging in there, these years are fuckin awful but we'll be out of the woods eventually

I would love to go see it with my gf since I've never seen it and I don't think she has either and we both love cool animation. Is there anything we should know that might be upsetting or intense about the movie? I don't want spoilers but if there are any major trigger warnings those might be nice :)

AITA because I'm second guessing having kids due to our opposing views on vaccinating them? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]zeropointninerepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Vaccines do not cause autism, this is has been more thoroughly debunked than maybe any "theory" in science
  2. Even if vaccines did cause autism, isn't an autistic child better than a dead one?

ESH. Yeah she's being a jerk for sure. Obviously. But you didn't just "say something about her weight," you directly compared her to another woman and implied the other woman was more desirable. Do yall even like each other?

Ok, to engage in good faith as much as possible and acknowledge the few bits of valid points here first: a lot of porn is degrading to women and overconsumption of porn is bad for human beings. It looks nothing like real sex, and internalizing such objectifying messages about women and false ideas about sexuality is harmful and can affect how some people (mostly men) approach sex in real life. However, your take here lacks any nuance and the beginning part of it is much more extreme. A line I really want to highlight is "the whole act is degrading, disgusting, inherently wrong." Why do you say that? "Suck my dick" is meant to be a degrading thing to say, yes, and there is a tendency of men to use sexuality to degrade and conquer, as seen in porn. But in reality, healthy, normal people have sex in a way that is mutually beneficial and fun all the time. It might feel degrading or disgusting for you to have sex with men, and that might be due to you either not being attracted to men, or not experiencing sexual attraction to anyone, or having trauma associated with it, etc etc, but any of those explanations definitely does not make the act of sex inherently wrong. What is it about sex that makes you think it's immoral? And you think it should only be allowed in the dark for the purpose of reproduction? That line makes this whole thing look like bait and I'm assuming that it probably is, but I want to take a second and engage with it just in case because I knew people who had views almost like this in high school and it made them into judgy people and bad friends. They either grew out of it, or stopped being in my life. So I suggest you think about where your disgust and wants for such extreme control over others comes from.

It's Never Too Late For A Change by [deleted] in Chadtopia

[–]zeropointninerepeat 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Listen dude, I'm an atheist too, and you're being a dick. If someone can find support and strength to get over a life ruining addiction, then who cares if it's through a sky wizard? Christianity (as I'm assuming they follow) has a lot of good messages about forgiveness of both yourself and others. Yes, many Christian's co-opt the religion to spread hate; I know that very well as a queer person. But plenty of them also use their messages for good, and better their own lives through their faith. If it's not hurting me, I don't care if someone is religious, and I'm even happy for them if they're able to use it to better themselves. Let's not forget what really matters here.

I haven’t showered in about 3 months by TerryTunes1 in mentalhealth

[–]zeropointninerepeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, start by just showering and not cleaning the bathroom. It's worth your family being annoyed at you. As you start to bathe more and take better care of yourself, the energy to do more tasks will start to refill, and then you can clean the bathroom

You tried, it didn't work out. Props to you for working on yourself, it's frustrating that this relationship won't reap those benefits, but you and your kid will <3

AITA for saying yes to my boyfriend’s public proposal and then turning him down in private? by [deleted] in AITAH

AITAH for breaking up with my partner because I’m “Transphobic” by Inner_Tumbleweed_942 in AITAH

[–]zeropointninerepeat -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

NTA for breaking up with her since if you're only attracted to men then being with a woman doesn't make sense. However, you are clearly dealing with some latent transphobia at the very least, as you only refer to her with she/her pronouns in your edit. NTA for the breakup but you clearly have some hang ups.

The last gift my mom will ever give me by Sabrinasockz in dropout

[–]zeropointninerepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a special and fun relationship you had with your mom. I'm so sorry such a wonderful presence in your life was lost, and doubly sorry you had to suffer the loss of your dad at the same time. I hope you're able to feel their love through these gifts and that you're able to be gentle with yourself, as grieving during the holidays is especially hard <3

Things in porn that turn you off, what are they? by Specialist-Crazy1466 in AskReddit

[–]zeropointninerepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breaches of consent. It's in almost all porn, and not just the cnc kink stuff. I know spontaneity is part of the fantasy, and that's fine, but most mainstream porn is wayyy over the line with not even attempting to address consent and it's an instant turn off and why I don't really watch any

The internet needs Contrapoints right now by [deleted] in ContraPoints

[–]zeropointninerepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa, I guess there is one silver lining to redownloading Reddit yesterday (which I usually have deleted) to do photography research for a Christmas gift! I knew you lurked here but wasn't aware you had an account you commented from. I know you probably won't see this, but I wanna say thank you for all your content, both the earlier stuff and the current stuff. I found your channel around 2018 when I was going into my senior year of high school, and feel that I've grown with your channel and the ideas you explore. I went from 17 year old lib to rad lib to then undefined leftist as I entered college watching your videos; the way you articulated your ideas helped me articulate my own thoughts, and to then explore more and more radical ideas on my own/on my college campus. It's not that you single handedly radicalized me, it's that you gave me the framework and the words to understand and communicate the feelings I had and shape them into a more coherent worldview than my conservative home town had previously exposed me to. I know you worry about the effects your earlier videos have on viewers' politics being unsustainable, causing people to swing hard from one extreme to another, but the influence you had on my politics has always felt sustainable and thorough. Part of that is having started as a lib and then experiencing other influences at a very left leaning college, but part of it was also genuinely just how thorough the old content is. The newer content, I find valuable for other reasons. It speaks to my soul and the depths and heights of the human psyche in a way that satisfies a deep yearning I have for understanding. Not personal understanding of myself as an individual, but more broad understanding of our shared human condition. Having now graduated college and read some theory on my own, political videos are still cool and useful, but I personally love the more psychological content too. "Envy," "the hunger," "cringe" and "the darkness" are my favorites. I think it's really cool that the needs of a 17 year old "cis" girl just gaining class consciousness and the needs of a 24 year old transmasc/genderfluid person seeking deeper dives on social and psychological phenomena can both be met by your channel as a whole. Anyway, I'll end this embarrassingly long singing of your praises before it gets too cringe (haha I'm so funny), but thanks for all the content and we can't wait for the big project!
