You guys are wimps. (Dog guy gets partial points though, people are psychotic about their dogs). Here’s an actual hot take:

Sex drive, while a strong biological impulse in most people, is nowhere NEAR as powerful or persuasive as we are conditioned to believe. Its almost entirely cultural and formed from Movies, Porn, Advertising and just about every other media artificially elevating it.

Everything, from lighter fare like niche fetish communities, to dark shit like rape, sexual violence and, in some cases misogynistic violence aimed just at women in general, is escalated and enabled by a mass permission structure where we all are just told, and to some extent believe, that Sex is SO powerful. Men become easily manipulated puppets to demonic seductresses. Sexuality can damage reasoning ability. Without sexual release men inevitably become violent brutes. A million other stupid, widely believed things. They have a kernel of truth obviously but they are exaggerated in the extreme, usually to excuse poor behavior by men who are trained from a young age that they not only can, but should turn into a drooling gorilla at the sight of tits.

The internet isnt horny. Men aremt primarily sex-driven. Its all an artificial cultural construct designed to promote bad behavior.

Gods very likely do not exist. For all we know, we could be a simulation and there is no way to know for sure beyond dying.

This makes every and all religions, sects, beliefs all fake, frauds, and human made.

Religions are for population control, nothing more nothing less and it pisses me off that we live in 2026, we can see other planets around other stars, we know mostly how the universe started, we understand DNA and evolution, we understand physics and yet the majority of Earth’s population still believes in stone age fairytales used to control them.

Dogs are incredibly annoying and a not insignificant number of people that want them actually subconsciously want children, but either can’t afford them, or don’t have a partner to have them with so they adopt a permanent child.

I think it’s rather coincidental that 90%+ of women’s dating profiles in my area (very high cost of living) all mention some form of “I’ll steal your dog. I love your dog more than you. Dogs are life. Live love dog” etc etc…

The Abrahamic Religions (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) aren’t “religions of peace”.

Socialist economic systems are also easily corruptible.

People are perfectly fine with letting strangers suffer so long as it doesn’t inconvenience them.

I always expect something intense from these threads like “blind people should be culled” but it’s always boring trite stuff that 80% of gen pop already believes in. No one is going to get executed for saying homework sucks.

Feel free to down vote me and called me a sleazeball douchebag troll.

To late! You already said we could execute and shun you (though I think the former sort of precludes the latter).

Pedophilia is ok in the united states and we all just collectively agreed to pretend it isn’t. It’s clearly not a crime or we’d make more of a deal out of prosecution. It’s certainly not a deal breaker when your favorite politician or famous person does it. I used to think it was a coincidence that everyone I know was molested as a child, that maybe we gravitate to each other as an unspoken solidarity. The Epstein situation has made that hard to believe.

The proper way to eat salad is with chopsticks. Ever tried to pick up a flat piece of lettuce with a fork? A chopped carrot? A crispy crouton??

Most single people are single for a reason

Plenty are unlucky (they live somewhere full of backwards hicks, like 'Murica) or some other misfortune, but there are so many people who deserve to die alone and lonely, and they’re blind to the fact that they’re single because they’re just shitty people

I agree with you OP, perhaps I am to be burned at the stake as well:

The kicker is that Vivziepop isn’t just a bad writer, she’s also a TERF (specifically against NB/trans men) and just a shitty person in general. Spindlehorse is apparently a very toxic studio to work for. I’m fairly certain that Vivienne is going to have a public crash out eventually and end up reviled like JKR.

there are some truly incredible works of art that would have been worse if not for the people in charge of them being abusers (see: crystle castles, stanley kubrick).

i don’t say this as a matter of defense or to claim “the ends justify the means”. just that if these people weren’t monstrous pieces of shit, their creations would be less raw and emotionally moving.

per the examples above alice glass and shelley duvall gave incredible, gutwrenching performances and they were driven by their mistreatment and pain.
