I think it's the taboo nature in combination with it being a story behind the action. It's a plot involving a lot of emotions with minimal effort. I prefer childhood friends for that, but taboo is sexy to a lot of people. Full on incest stuff is annoyingly popular as well for some reason 🤮

They basically cropped out half the setup for no reason. You're not out of touch, it's the image itself that fails to give context.

Trans Inclusive Radical Misogyny, where trans women are inferior because they're women, not because they're trans.

It would only regulate bodies in regards to labor, which is something we already do in other industries. We allow or even mandate drug tests for employment, something that is occasionally justifiable for certain professions. We already regulate out of work activities that could affect job safety, so prostitution wouldn't introduce anything new. Most of the harmful things that could arise from regulation aren't unique to sex work

Is it because sex is a sin for women, but something that must be earned for men? Is it because sex outside of the established order is bad? Is it because sex without love is degrading? What motivates you, consciously or not, to make such a value judgment over such an exchange?

AI is just a portion of a brain at most, not a being capable of feeling pain or pleasure; a nucleus with no will of its own. When we program AI to have a survival instinct, then we'll have something that's meaningfully alive.

I can never get myself to do totally evil playthroughs in most games. I feel so bad when I'm forced to choose between two terrible options that I avoid games where I have to do that. I struggle to start the Witcher, FO:NV, or other great games because of those tough choices. I enjoy playing games that railroad you into being good more than games that challenge you.

I over empathize with characters for some reason, struggling to watch them experience well written conflict. I get more stressed out watching new children's movies or sitcoms than watching a Clockwork Orange. It doesn't matter if I know characters will be alright because of the genre; I need to know the exact ending to enjoy most media. I prefer to hear spoilers because I experience less stress as a result. I often don't watch new things without hearing spoilers beforehand.

People are afraid of being enslaved by something intelligent when we're already enslaved by unintelligent systems. Capitalism, imperialism, culture, even evolution itself. These forces already control us, reducing our lives to mere mechanical functions. There isn't a being in control of these systems, but they still devalue us as people. No artificial intelligence will ever dominate us like natural unintelligence.

Evolution created everything about us to survive long enough to reproduce. It might have created all positive emotions we can ever experience, but it's often advantageous for evolution to design suffering into our lives.

Many animals live short and brutal lives, giving birth through penises, fighting amongst each other to stay on top of violent hierarchies, cheating on their mates whenever possible. Most people are less happy after having children, but knowing that rarely affects our decision to have them. Love often encourages us to enter toxic relationships, taking away our infatuation and rose tinted glasses once leaving the relationship is costly.

About half of all humans are designed to take serious risks to gain status or resources, their bodies aging quicker and doing less to repair itself. The other half gets to live a little longer and be a little healthier, but once they stop being able to have kids, their bodies start breaking down more quickly to hasten their end. Even aging itself only exists to speed up the evolutionary process. Evolution generally wants us to live lives that are as short as possible to allow for more generations in less time.

Evolution is what created all our drives and programs us to do everything we do. That isn't necessarily enslavement by itself, as nothing about us can exist outside of evolution, but the way it drives us towards personal suffering and death is enslavement. We don't matter in comparison to our role in replicating genes. We're designed to be disposable. Evolution may be the process of life, but it's also the process of death.

Evolution may not want, but certain strategies are more successful than others in specific contexts. Long lived animals still age, only seeming so long lived relative to us. Aging is a balancing act of the benefits of generational iterations vs the value of experience.

Toxic relationships don't require manipulation on the part of one person. Infatuation can lead people with incompatible personalities to make costly commitments to each other. Partners can genuinely treat each other with respect and still end up in relationships that harm all parties.

This comes back to the social construction of gender roles, even though I mostly focused on the well accepted effects of primary sex hormones. There are biological factors that limit the gender identities and expressions we can comfortably be. Some people feel comfortable with a wide range of identities, while others are more limited. If anything, seeing one's gender as so maliable to social influence implies that conversion therapy would be effective and validates the idea of trans identities are a social contagion

The constructed nature of gender comes from the constructed nature of essence. Our brains understand the world by constructing a model of reality based on these essences, qualia, or forms. Gender is the simplified categorization of social dynamics, but so are all ideas we could ever use to describe society.

Alt text: A meme in two parts: Top part of the image is captioned "When you feed your dog:" with a cute doggo showing appreciation. The bottom part of the image is captured "Once you feed your cat:" with a calico cat on a skateboard skating into a wormhole with the caption: "See ya later, Dickhead." The last d in 'dickhead' is...

Weird Christian propaganda actually using a based Bible quote for once?

Idk. That description sounds like it applies to the JKR and Musks of the world. There are probably more happy rich people than poor people, but many of them aren't happy because happiness is hard for everyone.

Not sure about only trusting the church or giving them your money. A ton of church practices like forced conversion go against what he preached. He wanted people to choose God, while one should give their wealth to the cause of building a better world rather than the church. The good Samaritan nonbelievers were better than people who only followed in word alone.

A huge part of the bible is about being submissive, obedient, and turning the other cheek. The whole point of organized religion is to keep the masses under the yoke of the powerful.

You're not wrong, but Jesus had some decent ideas, even if they were mostly coopted to support the system. The tragedy of Christ is how his good ideas were used to sanitize a selfish war God enough to help him conquer the world.

It's not as black and white as NT good, OT bad, but Jesus's message of love and forgiveness helped Christianity dominate enough to change how most people thought about gods. In the OT, God is the only one you're supposed to worship, but other gods are explicitly mentioned. The dedication to a single God that helped Judaism survive in perpetual exile allowed the Romans to centralize power better than their previous pantheon could. Even the practices of those who hated the new church were eventually used to create elite monastic orders.

Christians can embody the virtues of their faith, but it isn't something most people can or will do. Just like with Marx's work, people can take helpful lessons from the text, or they can be led against those helpful lessons by the text. Any good meme can be coopted to serve selfish will to power. Any truth can be used to obscure reality. Any value can be turned against itself. We will never be above this self deception, but we can resist it by always questioning our understanding.

Exactly. High schoolers will have sex with each other, so they may as well do it to help their friends kick addiction. Better to live long as a sucker than die early as a smoker.

People who would point guns at BLM protesters aren't that bright. At least the pistol didn't work because it wasn't assembled correctly.

This is AOT and a lot of the characters join as young teens, so you gotta worry about that boy being underage 🤢

So many of the AOT characters seem like kids tho, just ones who had to grow up fast.
