I feel like we've reverted to a "there are no girls on the internet" thing because you can't express unpopular opinions in radfem circles without being accused of being a moid. I'm not excluded from this paranoid thinking, every time I find a cool tech person or interesting project under a female name I think "please don't be a troon". It's so sad. We've come full circle.

>>75394How did this even become a stereotype? I guess because in the beginning there really weren't any women at all? Since the internet was new and sort of a nerdy hobby…
Anonymous 75397
>>75396I'm an oldfag and back in the day you had to "work harder" to be online. I don't know how old you are, so I'm gonna blogpost a bit about when I first started being an internet addict. Around that time, your family would have 1 computer, everything was super slow, connecting to the internet took several minutes and was charged per minute, everything loaded super slowly and search engines weren't really much of a thing, so finding shit was hard and took forever. You needed to learn some skills and invest some money to navigate the web. The internet wasn't as centralized as it is now with there being a handful of giant websites where you can find people with all sorts of interests; if you had an obscure interest you'd have to find your way to likeminded people. You'd hang out on usenet or IRC which was a pure text chat platform without anything like avatars, and nobody was using their real names, so it was way more anonymous. The only thing similar to modern-day social media was building your own website, often from scratch, with as little storage as possible, so you wouldn't have put up a lot of images and shown yourself. So on one hand, you wouldn't immediately recognize someone you're talking to as a woman because there wasn't much to go off, and on the other hand, you assumed most people to be men anyway because everything was way nerdier and there was a steeper threshold to doing anything at all.
Another part of it is that if someone
was being obvious about being female, most of the time this user wasn't a woman at all but in fact a larping moid hoping to troll or reap benefits of being the "rare woman" in the respective circle. Even before it was convenient to send dick pics, you'd get a ton of sexual harassment as a girl online, and I guess larping moids didn't care because it didn't affect them, so they dealt with it for shits and giggles and to scam/troll other moids.
TL;DR actual women stayed anon because everyone did back then, and overt "women" weren't actually women at all, so there were no girls on the internet.
Anonymous 75398
>>75397In short… The assumption exists because of the difficulty of using the internet once upon time + moids being retarded?
Ah. The former I understand, and it would make sense for older people who remembered those times to still hold the belief that 'no wahmen exist', but what about the younger generation that grew up with the same easy to use service as everybody else? Ah… It's just so arrogant. It would be like if we chose to believe there were only women online.
Anonymous 75400
>>75398Yeah it's VERY outdated. Which is why it's so sad that we're kind of coming full circle in radfem communities where the tendency is to assume anyone with unpopular opinions to be moid unless proven otherwise. And again I want to repeat that I'm also guilty of this and it's not an attack towards anyone, moids do infiltrate places that aren't for them because they just don't know how to not feel entitled to everything, it was just a sad realization that we're basically back to square one.

>>75410I'm glad you enjoyed my oldfag storytime, laptops still feel like such a luxury to me because when I started going online it was on an off-white nicotine stained secondhand computer we got from my uncle, on a metal desk that rattled when I typed, in a cold, tiled basement room. Our provider included a flatrate plan only on Sundays, but on these days it was super hard to establish a connection because the provider's capacities were always at limit, so I weighed down the enter key with a metal thing and forced it to try to connect over and over while I made breakfast. Sundays were the best day of the week.
Later I got my own PC (another hand-me-down) and I'd make ~graphics~ in Paint Shop Pro and put them on floppy disks to transfer them to the internet connected PC to upload. I also make WinAmp skins and shitty little HTML pages, there was a community of girls who made their own websites for image editing tutorials and little code snippets like "mouse followers" or fancy CSS effects. If you had a TLD you were a hot bitch. Then that community died out until Tumblr brought it back. RIP

>>75397>>75396The "no girls on the internet" comes from the fact that most conversations on the internet do not and should not involve sex. Stating that you are a woman is usually a ploy to garner attention rather than discuss the topic so it is frowned upon as women who actually want to discuss the topic do not state that they are women because it would bring unnecessary attention and derail the conversation.
That's why most girls that I know play games muted because girls that play unmuted are usually doing so to grab simps for their twitch channel and it's given us all a bad reputation in the community.

This is only unpopular on here and lolcow, but I don't think viewing men as inhuman or all terrible is a healthy mindset. I agree with what most here would say about the dangers and disadvantages of being a woman, and you should definitely be wary of male strangers or men who display red flags and always prioritize your safety especially irl. And obviously there are many annoying behaviors men tend to display because of their socialization. However, hating 50% of the population and always consuming content about how horrible they are (man-hate threads, FDS, etc.) and dehumanizing them in your mind really damages real-life interactions with them in my experience. Remember that a lot of the degeneracy you see on here or read about in headlines are not the majority of men. We are different and have very opposite sets of problems and societal pressures, but it's not like men (barring the 1%…) have everything go perfect for them in life.
I'm rambling and this might fall on deaf ears, but all I'm saying is to not become blackpilled on men basically. I would never judge anyone for distrusting them because of trauma, I honestly feel the same. I am all for women supporting one another, self-improving, and becoming independent of men, but blanket hating them is as unhealthy as hating any other group of people. Just stop letting men's opinions (again, barring situations that might lead to physical harm) ruin your life, and stop letting them live rent free in your head.

This word has a negative connotation, but I think a lot of man-hating (and woman-hating) venting is a way to cope with bad past experiences and to justify one's own insecurities. It definitely was for me. The internet does bring out the worst in people sometimes.

>>82770>>82772>>82803Same. But really, anonymous websites are one of the few places besides private locked, paper diaries in safes where women can pour out their heart and soul in any area without mass harassment, because they're relatively unpopular and obscure. Even in all-female support groups you wouldn't say super man-hating things because a lot will try to make you love all men unconditionally again like a traumatized dog. Like we're not human and can't voluntarily isolate ourselves. It helps that I know for a fact the men I shit on are bad people and the ones I'm friends with are pretty good. Even if I myself am not a really good person in private.
Still I try to support all women whenever I can. Think about how you know when a woman generalizes men, 99% of the time she actually doesn't mean it and but is forced to say "Of course I don't mean
all men!" and gets rape threats. With a male there's a great chance he's a flat out misogynist and it's just another thing we have to tolerate when he's not called out the same way. I'm unfair to male relatives sometimes and am a hypocrite in many ways. I really want to get along with men, fuck it I was flirting anonymously with guys for a couple hours today, but we need a place to vent about the other half of the population
because they're the other half of the population. All the trouble they cause isn't going away until they're all gone and we have viable non-sperm pregnancies, and we know that's not happening in our lifetime no matter how hard we joke about male extinction.

And when we can't take it anymore, when the rage boils and takes over, because the world is so used to men being horrible, we make national headlines and it's treated as the fall of society. "How could a woman do this!? Let's ignore years of abuse and harassment and put down "crazy girlfriend/wife/mother/daughter snaps/kills person out of the blue!"
How about when men continue doing horrible things, we don't say "How can humans be so cruel to each other?" We look at the root, the RADICAL of the problem, and ask "How can men consistently be the cause of so much cruelty?"

I feel like the hatred for bpd-sufferers has been rising recently and there is serious growing prejudice towards people with the condition and it's not entirely warranted imo. The abbreviation gets thrown around as an insult all the time now and too many people armchair and think they are oh so pathologically superior. They might aswell sweep in front of their own door and look towards their (almost-)narcissistic superiority complexes, unwarranted, misplaced aggression, rigidness, judgement, self-righteousness, compulsion, coldness and moral black-and-white-thinking which point into it's own pathological corner and no, that is not more fun or adequate than other pds.

I just wish it was less generalization and bashing of mentally ill people in online discourse and more focus on how to stay safe if pds are a social risk and danger which they obviously can be.
Because most mentally ill people have been victims themselves and it's abuse-cycling if it affects other people. That is not an excuse but an explanation.

What I think capitalism has failed to provide is the concurrent education and community necessary to really liberate people. And of course it hasn't, because then you can't sell to those people as easily. But the existence of capitalism and of individual women as marketable to by capitalism is a breaker of chains. Whether once those chains are broken you're able to get up and free yourself is a little different.

Especially since a lot of people here with NPD are the ones doing it, as if they aren't in the same cluster and probably shouldn't be talking.
It's really annoying, but I know if I start arguing with them it's just going to drive me insane, especially since I get really emotional easily, and in terms of combustibility, I'm pretty much a gasoline fire, which really just ends up embarrassing me every time (especially on the internet, where I can't really do much other than type mean words).
So in other words, I agree with you, but if you have BPD, just don't waste your time worrying about these people, especially considering most of the people on CC are hermits with their own slew of mental health issues and need an easy target that's prone to dramatics that can take eyes off of their own neurotic behavior. Why do you think so many CCers also frequent lolcow? Gossip and finger-pointing makes them feel more normal.

To be fair, most of them are insufferable, manipulative assholes. I'm not sure who is worse, the men or women. The men get REALLY agressive and start to throw around random shit while women get the whole squat against you and accuse you of something bad. The best way to describe them is unpredictable, "chaotic evil" most of the time. I've met some which are good or neutral natured and are just victims to their emotions.
Btw. these are some things BPD people experience according to themselves, not some doctors:
Constantly tense muscles, nerves. That's why many of them are into selfharming and/or BDSM. It relieves them of the tension. The tension is also the reason why they are on alert or in panic/angst most of the time. They also have trouble to regulate their emotions. It's like there is no chemical buffer, their feelings just rise exponentially. Again: men and women react differently to those symptoms. Also a heavy categorising in good and evil, almost no grey zone. You're either a devil or an angel. Fun fact: they are often both in a constant shift.

Nowadays, these k-pop girls are not only extremely skinny but they also don hourglass hips and full breasts thanks to padding, photoshop and surgery.

This is more about typical timelines/ societal expectations changing than a desire to stay "young". People used to get married younger, have kids younger etc but now you're encouraged to focus on your education and career first. 4 years of college pushes the average age of marriage up a few years. And homes are not as affordable as they used to be, making it hard to start a family young even if you want to. There's a book about this called something like "30s are the new 20s" – many milestones have been pushed up. Considering the brain isn't fully developed until you're 25, it's also not a bad thing
Anonymous 103237
>>103175But at 30 you should be just about as healthy, active and attractive as you are in your 20s, provided you take care of yourself. There's nothing different or 'old' about it, except perhaps your life path which, as
>>103176 said, is getting pushed later and later. Old is a meaningless descriptor if it applies to a 30 year old but not a 25 year old since there's minimal change between the two.

Israel also vaccinated very quickly, and we now know that long times between vaccines can boost their efficacy, which is why they're now doing a third booster.

I think some "gatekeeping" is good, because if you don't call people out for shitty or weird behavior/dumbass ideas, then they'll think it's okay and then more people will think it's okay. I'm against the "laid-back, anything goes" mentality. Or that we have to be "accepting" of everyone and everything.
I also think casual sex is gross and all it does is spread disease and make people mentally ill. I believe in monogamy and saving yourself for "the one". Or at least trying to. I think people should respect their bodies more and take sex more seriously. I think everyone would be happier.
It might sound weird to say, but while I have strong opinions, I'm not that judgemental. It's like, this is what I believe in and think should be, but if you're not an awful person, I'm not going to hate you for doing it or disagreeing. Just wish you would be more thoughtful.

And I don't agree with spreading hate and shouting people down, but like some things just shouldn't be allowed and it's ironic that the "no gatekeeping" is actually gatekeeping because they don't allow anyone who disagrees with them to speak up about it. I wish more people would realize the hypocrisy. It's basically them saying "gatekeeping is okay if we do it!"
I'm mainly talking about fandom spaces though, but it applies to a lot of other things as well.

>>107203I mostly deal with it in jfashion circles, and it's awful. You get people buying cheap aliexpress clothing and mixing it with things from Hot Topic and ask if they're wearing a Japanese fashion which has specific cuts, motifs, fabrics, etc, and then cry about how it's too expensive or unfair that it doesn't fit them or whatever, as if they're entitled to wear a niche style of clothing.
It's absolutely rampant in fandom spaces, too, as you mentioned. I gave up years ago trying to socialize with people over media that I like. I just make my best friend watch shit and talk about it with me.
Anonymous 107213
>>107208I'm gonna be honest, you sound a like a snob. I understand not wanting people to say they're wearing a certain style if they are not, but complaints about clothing items being too expensive is fair. It's like you're saying "only rich people can enjoy this niche hobby". It's not about skill or talent, you're not making these clothes yourselves, it's just about who has the most money to buy the most expensive or rare piece. It's cool if someone has a lot of knowledge and sense of style, but I don't think gatekeeping people because they don't have enough money is cool. I personally don't find hobbies like that very interesting. I'd be more impressed if people were making their own clothes or if someone can find cheaper items that are still stylish.
I don't try to socialize with people in most fandom spaces anymore, either. Everyone is too cliquey and has too much of a hivemind. It's like a lot of these people aren't even real fans, they just use big fandoms as a way to socialize and gain a following. I miss talking with people who actually care about the thing we are all fans of, instead of some drama.
Anonymous 107214
>>107213Some hobbies are costly. It isn't snobbish or gatekeeping to point that out. You can buy secondhand or try to snipe auctions to lower that cost, but you're still importing clothes from another country made by small retailers, so it won't be as cheap as shopping at Walmart, which is what a lot of people want. Yeah, there are status pieces that cost a ridiculous amount, but they aren't required to enjoy the fashion.
Also, there is talent in dressing well. There are lots of people with money and no taste.
People can make their own clothes if they want, but unless they're Japanese, they aren't Japanese fashion.
Anonymous 107216
>>107214>It isn't snobbishYes, it is. Like I said, there's nothing to be impressed about someone who simply has more money than someone else. There are probably a lot of people with no money for these clothes that have better taste than you, so I don't see the point of bragging about it or acting like its' a "talent". If you're gatekeeping most of the competition from even competing, you haven't really won anything.
Anonymous 107229
>>107216It seriously isn't. All hobbies, especially luxury hobbies, cost money. It isn't gatekeeping when that's a simple fact. You want to get into record collecting? Money. You want to start playing Magic? Money. You want to learn to play an instrument? Money.
In competitive card games, building a nice deck can cost hundreds if certain cards are rare or high in demand. No one expects to be able to show up to tournaments and say "well it's gatekeeping for you to not let me join" because they don't have money for a decent deck. No one postulates about the great players we are missing out on because they couldn't afford a deck.
Also, you saying there are people with less money and better taste is literally what I said, but okay.

To be even more fair, there is difference between the hobby of
making clothes and the hobby of
wearing clothes. No amount of money will make you good at
making clothes(though it can buy you time and materials to practice with), and no amount of skill will overcome material limits as far as purchasing power (your look absolutely
needs silk, but silk is fucking expensive.)

Most of the time they sound emotional stunted or they project their own relationship insecurities onto married people, going on and on about how miserable they supposedly are.
I know being married and having a family isn't easy. Nor will everyday with your husband be like a honeymoon, where you two are jumping into bed together every other minute. But the way these people complain about married/family life is on a whole different level of pessimism I just can't get behind, nor do I think is very healthy to believe.

>>107273>luxury hobby>no one is entitled to enjoy my "luxury" hobby unless they have money!Do you hear yourself? You're a complete snob, so much so that your favorite community reverse-gatekept your ass out of it.
The irony of you not realizing you are exactly the kind of person I was originally referring to. You don't care about the fashion because if you did you wouldn't be so quick to shoot down people who make their own clothes or find cheaper items that are just as fitting. Your arbitrary rule for being able to enjoy your "luxury" hobby (not real hobbies by the way, only snobs try to pretend they are) is just that they have the money to buy these specific clothing items. You're more interested in gatekeeping and throwing a tantrum every time someone doesn't have the pure Japanese, overpriced clothing item you deem appropriate than actually enjoying the fashion you claim to care so much about.
I'm sure actual Japanese people don't give a shit if someone is not using items imported from Japan as long as they are sincerely interested in the styles. They would probably be really impressed if they found out some foreigner made their clothes by hand. Especially considering 90%, if not 100%, of the J-fashion that you like so much is heavily influenced by Western styles in the first place. Unless they are wearing a 100% traditional Japanese outfit, which is not what you're crying about, it's not purely Japanese. Half of J-fashion does look like stuff you could easily buy in the west or from Hot Topic, sorry to burst your bubble. Your clothes are not superior just because a Japanese person made it. And I honestly doubt they're very concerned about the tiny Western market who import their items, so it's not a matter of supporting these brands either. It wouldn't matter either way, because the people you're complaining about don't have the money for it in the first place. Dumbass weeb.
You just don't want poor people to enjoy your hobby, even if they are better at it than you are. Get reverse-gatekept, nerd. Get a real hobby and maybe you'll feel better about yourself so you don't have to resort to spending money as the only way to try and feel superior to more resourceful and talented people. I'm glad the other people in your former community made you fuck off so they don't have to deal with your projection and ego problems. You should seriously think about spending your money on a good therapist instead so you can work on your narcissism or whatever it is made you act this way, and whatever made you try and rationalize that your behavior or way of thinking is justified. Just a tip.

Clearly a lot of people who aren't buying overpriced clothes are enjoying the hobby, that's why snob-anon was angry about it in the first place. They brought it up, not me. It's not salty or entitled to tell the truth. You don't make the rules, you can only complain about it.

Don't get me wrong. If anon is talking about lolita and etc she is certainly aware that there are regular DIY threads on /cgl/, no one criticizes a well made DIY outfit. There are also numerous second-hand market options.
What is disliked is cheap mass-produced Chinese made messes that don't fit the aesthetic and Hot Topic shit every basic egirl-wannabe wears and then tries to waltz into communities of people who have been researching the fashion and saving up for years to get items.
>a way for you to try and feel better about yourself for having no real talent or skill.I would say coordinating clothing following certain rules takes much more skill than eating up everything Amazon regurgitates at you with the word "lolita" in it. But thankfully, hobbies are meant to make you feel good and don't nevessarily imply a need for skill or talent. Some hobbies are literally all about having money and nothing else.

Just because you see DDLG they/thems wearing Amazon maid outfits calling themselves lolita it doesn't mean they actually are part of the community. They are not. The core community makes the rules, no matter how much it hurts you. Everyone recognizes the specific items or knowledge level that identify a certain fashion or subculture group. This is worth for lolita, goth, coin collectors, train autists, insect nerds, skaters or any other niche group. There will always be casuals and you are right that they can't be stopped from existing, but they are discarded as outsiders by anyone with a remote genuine interest in the particular group.

And no, you don't make the rules and that's why you're stuck complaining about other people enjoying the fashion you like in a different way. You literally can't do anything about it. You're seriously delusional if you think you have any authority or make any "rules" when these people are just going to keep enjoying the hobby and are "rampant" in the community. The only ones pestering anyone and acting entitled are you. You could always leave, if it makes you so miserable? Because those people aren't going to go away.
This whole discussion got way off of the original point anyway because someone got triggered that I didn't agree with their snobbery. I was just here to say that you're shitty snobs with shitty behavior and communities would be better off if people called you out more and gatekept you out.

But everyone knows they are not the real deal, everyone. If it happened that they happily infiltrated those circles and were showered with validation as you wish, then there simply would be no more lolita/any niche subculture and then no one would enjoy it anymore. So seeing that the survival of the niche culture depends on gatekeepers then unfortunately for larpers yes, gatekeepers do make the rules.

I was agreeing with your point that fandom spaces suck, so I choose not to participate, and I make my friends watch stuff to talk with me about it instead. Hopefully me spelling it out for you like this will finally make sense to you and you can stop inventing a life for me.
Again, I often participate in the communities I enjoy and am very welcome. I have been part of multiple jfashion communities for years now and have made friends through them.
The people I'm "salty" about actually aren't in my communities. I participate in vetted servers/groups only. Everyone is given a certain amount of time to show themselves in a full outfit of the fashion, and if they don't, they are kicked. Simple as that.

I acknowledge that it's a more expensive hobby than most, but that's due to the nature of the hobby. The same way that any hobby that includes a collection aspect will. I don't know why this upsets you so much.

Deny it all you want, but contraceptives including the birth control pill have historically had an overinflated value due to abortion and unplanned pregnancies being stigmatized.

Watching porn/hentai is abnormal behavior that must be classified and treated like a mental illness.
There are obsolutely no animal species that enjoy and get sexual pleasure from watching their counterparts get it off.
Watching porn can only be described with one word - abnormal.
Porn has ruined men and destroyed all of their dignity.
People who watch porn must not be around children and must be putted in mental health hospitals.
The fact most men stop porn not because they're worried about human trafficing but because " my pp broke :( " is trully disgusting. This shows that ,most men stop doing harmfull things not because it hurts others but when it also starts doing damage to them.
Most men literally mince their meat to porn untill it gets scars, untill it becomes deformed and untill it doesn't fuction for the things it used to.
Also a lot of men get genital abnormalities and desease, because they can't keep their hands off their junk when they're alone in a room. Even 5 year olds have more self control.
Men become disgusting sex addicts, trying to justify it for "kink" beating up women and treating them like onjects.
They say it's a fantasy while missing the most import part of what a fantasy is - that it's just a fantasy that will stay forever only in your mind. When you start doing your disgusting, grussome and gross fetishes on your partner it's no longer a fantasy, because it takes part in the real world and it has consequenses.
If a person feels the desire to rape, hit, dominate their partner they must be placed in a mental health hospital.
The porn industry must be abolished. It only creates weak disfigured copies of what a man should be.

>>114911I don't have much of a problem with BL anime. It's trashy, but at least it's not a genre dominated with sexualization of children (I hope). My main issue is girls consuming media that's essentially softcore porn for moids, and thinking it's normal or even cool.
The reason I called them moids / trannies is that from my observations, when moids troon out, they keep their malebrained hobbies despite claiming to be "women on the inside". Hence why so many troons are into anime, dumb computer nerd shit like mechanical keyboards, and linux customization. The slang "tranime" doesn't exist for nothing.
The only people I see online who are into moid-marketed anime are a) incel moids, b) troons, c) clueless underage girls who are in the process of being groomed by a Discord moderator.
>>114913Fair, but I couldn't think of a better example, because I can't think of a form of medium / genre marketed for women, that has explicit sexualization of underage characters as its primary aesthetic.

>>114934oh, must have focused on the other responses too much then.
and IDK, like, a pasttime is a pasttime, but it's really silly to act like something being one makes it automatically live in a vacuum?
i.e., if a guy's one pasttime is gaming or porn then that says a lot about him that really isn't so good and makes it extremely likely he's a shut-in. why? because his hobbies solely entail consumption and grabbing for dopamine, while his social life is - probably - irrevocably tied into it. Moreover, they're highly addictive in nature. Obviously I wouldn't shit on such a person to their face–I'd probably just not want to hang around him. Context matters. Like, I always side-eye porn but gaming? That's not so bad if it isn't someone's entire life. Moreover…one could say drugs are their pasttime too? And that'd be complete yikes-tier.
So, yes, with the creepy shit people get up to for their pasttimes, your argument falls through. Sure, people are allowed to do it but 100%, it often says something about them and…I do believe it's a very dangerous sentiment to act like all pasttimes are completely equal for what they are–because some are more damaging than others, or more self-entrapping.
And just FYI, I wouldn't judge a woman for being into Linux stuff. I do agree that they're probably more likely to be a troon, though.

for Linux, this looks more like a person's emotional core being strongly intertwined in it and him being incapable of having friends IRL. kind of like the stereotypical basement neckbeard who has no irl friends or doesn't do any activities in real of any substance–many of whom actually do project their self-worth into it. would he be able to give it up without it destroying his identity? etc. likewise, being that invested in something that entails endless optimization to meager gains seems unhealthy in general. if a guy lives a balanced life then it's kind of whatever.

>>114882Anime is just Japanese animation. Just because coomer misogynistic moids appropriated it, doesn't mean that women cannot enjoy anime. Yes, it is true that 95% of all anime that gets made today blatantly uses sex appeal to attract a male audience and that it also has terrible stereotypes that try to appeal to the waifufags who want a sexy but submissive teenage anime wife.
But that's how a fucking industry works, by degenerating everything more and more, so eventually the cheapest shit is reproduced the most. There are plenty of anime that aren't like this at all. Not only anime made by women (of which there are plenty) but also even some made by men. Also not all of it is sexual.
>every single female weeb I've seen online is a pick-me trying to act like "not the other girls".ok so you're obviously just talking about the seasonal male-oriented moeshit trash. If we're talking about that garbage, yes, you are completely right that a woman liking that crap too much is suspicious.
There is a massive female JoJo fandom in the west, for example. They don't claim to be "like the other girls" for male attention, they talk about it and share their own creations with fellow female fans. This is just one example of many.
>>114894>Anime fandoms are completely dominated by incels, what are you talking about?see above retard
There are different sections of anime fandoms divided by site, country, gender, etc. Shonen anime is huge with fujos because of the focus on male relationships and cute guys, so you'll see different parts of the same show's fandom is divided into angry incel nerds, male normies and female fans (mostly fujos)
Moids have always hated women who get into "their" hobbies, In the 2000s they shat their pants every time fujos did anything and when male protagonists in their power fantasy anime started to look younger and more moeshit, they blamed it on fujos (lol). Speaking of which, anime cons have always been full of male AND female weebs. And let's not forget when KyoAni, known moeshit studio, decided to acknowledge that female audiences (that they could make money off) exist and make a moeshit anime but with hot guys (pic related).
This kinda shit has been happening even as early as the science fiction fandom:
https://fanlore.org/wiki/Science_Fiction_Fandom_vs._Media_Fandom#Gender_DifferencesBut women have and will always like the things they want to like and do whatever they want with their favorite media no matter how much scrotes screech about it.
In short, that's why you only see the inceloids and pickmes in anime fandom, because you're looking in the wrong places. Female anime fans hang out in places like Tumblr, Livejournal, and so on, places that most men won't touch. And obviously the angry weeb incels are louder than female fandoms.
>>114915>but at least it's not a genre dominated with sexualization of children (I hope)oh boy, if only you knew. Not so much in recent years but it used to be full of "shotacon" (not the same variety that moids consume but still young teenagers and even pubescent boys). I think one of the earliest yaoi (in the 60's?) was about teen boys. There's a "classic" one that I never watched where the uke fucks his dad or something like that.
>tranimeyet again, the kind of anime that trannies obsess over is the generic crap that the oversaturated anime industry shits out these years, made primarily by and for males. So you're right, in a way, because this kind of anime is (unfortunately) most anime nowadays, but you're also wrong because the kind of loser who obsessed over that crap is different from, say, shonenfags (who are huge), or fans of obscure/cult anime, etc. so you're also wrong in generalizing all anime fandoms as trannies and incels.

>>114939>and IDK, like, a pasttime is a pasttime, but it's really silly to act like something being one makes it automatically live in a vacuum? If you stop analyzing in a vacuum, the concept of a "passtime" stops existing. On that level of framework, where every single thing you do is important because it effects the things that are actually important, than, at that point, literally nothing can be "not important". Since every moment spent on "not important" is effecting moments spend on "important" things.
>i.e., if a guy's one pasttime is gaming or porn then that says a lot about him that really isn't so good and makes it extremely likely he's a shut-in. why? because his hobbies solely entail consumption and grabbing for dopamine, while his social life is - probably - irrevocably tied into it. Moreover, they're highly addictive in nature. Obviously I wouldn't shit on such a person to their face–I'd probably just not want to hang around him. Context matters. Like, I always side-eye porn but gaming? That's not so bad if it isn't someone's entire life. Moreover…one could say drugs are their pasttime too? And that'd be complete yikes-tier. This is just your subjective take on the matter. To imply that one pass time is more valuable to another is to imply something they are being measured against. Is there harm in it? Yes. Is there one good way to waste time to another way to waste time? I would state literally any form of wasting time is bad, because it is a way of fucking waste of time. Putting vegetating on the couch and shooting tar herion between your toes on equal footing with just being a more socially acceptable version of the other.
>Sure, people are allowed to do it but 100%, it often says something about them and…I do believe it's a very dangerous sentiment to act like all pasttimes are completely equal for what they are–because some are more damaging than others, or more self-entrapping. They're all incredibly damaging.

>they're all incredibly damagingwut?
You come across like a type of person that'd make similar arguments for stuff like men having pasttimes like using child porn, etc. and probably already has several. You looked like you tried twisting around my "vacuum" argument by trying to go full meta and making up some weird stuff about it being an "important v. not important" and, ignoring most variables, made it into some "ooooh, I guess that means ALL pasttimes are damaging UWU!" snark, then pretending it's 100% objective. I'm guessing there's a very high chance you are a Linux autist too.
We're human beings, not robots, not programming; things influence us in different ways that often have some sort of varied internal and societal consistency. Also, I was referring to a pasttime not like something like some casual shit like mobile gaming once in a while but something someone does a lot.
The initial point of contention was the idea that it's wrong to paint linux obsession as male in nature or to criticize it as such; my point really was that there's a basis to that and there's often a pretty big correlation between it and other tendencies or qualities, especially in men–things in which regularly are criticized by people on CC. I.e., neckbeard stuff. Not "canadian basket weaving >>>> linux!" type pedantry.
Really, I can say that maybe it's silly to even bother criticizing it because it's so low on the totem pole and, if nothing else, these guys obviously stay in their lane. Doesn't mean the others were wrong about painting it as a super male thing.
You also never really made a real argument about the point that context matters, you basically just imploded by the end.

>>114967>You also never really made a real argument about the point that context matters, you basically just imploded by the end.My argument about context is simple: once you add context, the entire domain of "pass time" falls into a damaging category because pass times, passers of time, are not important and therefore, by engaging in them, you are not engaging in something important.
If your resposne is "context matters" then my response is "context makes the concept of a passtime negative by default".

>>114972This is what I mean, anon. In this scenario I thought we were talking about more "hobby-like"/"passion" intensive things rather than "wasting time for the sake of it"? And I noted this too. You have a completely different definition of "passing time" from me as well and ignore the human context related to it: which is that how people spend their time matters…the effect of which is way, way more subjective with varying levels of scrutiny than "value v. nonvalue." Your "context" is more robotic.
I doubt
>>114915 was talking about men that get bored once in a while and needs 2 hours to pass, so he thinks "ah, what should I do?", who thinks about it for a bit. She's probably talking about the type of male who makes it his thing to be into Linux and his preoccupation of which is the primary driver of certain parts of his life (if not all of it). According to your definition of "passing time" though - which has nothing to do with emotions or someone actually wanting to do something but rather just spend time - this is completely irrelevant.
The "pasttimes"/"hobbies" we are talking about are obviously important to people and that was the crux of the matter.
You are seeing an entirely different set of variables/context than me. I don't think the definition of "passing time" is negative either…again, in your own logic, the idea that it is "damaging" is arbitrary because whatever we choose to spend our time with can be, really, anything, including that which actually brings more technical reward (i.e., money, mental well-being, etc…or the opposite).
The "context" includes how other people see it. How it influences a way a person acts or thinks in a pragmatic way that can be relatively witnessed. The types of behavior the hobby encourages. Etc. Your "context" is more abstract. Like…"well, if comparisons are made at all, that makes it all bad!" Or a "something either has value or it doesn't!" thing. And that's, like…ok?
in any case you might or might not be a larper or a troll, and I'm stepping out of this, uh, discussion for now.

>>114972Your argument is flawed. First, you assume that a pass time, because it's designed to pass time, can't be important. Important to what? It's perfectly important when it's appropriate–it's important to be able to pass time when you want to pass time in a normal and healthy way. Why couldn't it be?
Then, following this, you go on to say that because it isn't important it must be negative. This is plainly false. It's not important that I remember to fill up my water bottle before bed–I won't die or suffer–but it's a positive. I like to have it and it's nice. Why would you assume that if something isn't important, it must be negative? You don't give a reason, just like you don't give a reason for why a pass time must be a priori unimportant.

both of them are stupid, but if I had to choose, I'd prefer the "vapid bitch" stereotype of the 00s over the current flavor. Girls that aspired to be Paris Hilton or Lindsey Lohan types at least had a certain kind of mean street smarts and when they were frail they still positioned themselves in a way that asserted more control. Current-era bimbos are just fragile in a whiny and annoying way, hide behind self-diagnosed mental illness, and glorify being taken advantage of.

Not ripping on you, your post just reminded me of the argument above, where someone was saying that's misogynistic to suggest that women engaging in degenerate male-approved hobbies, because it's their choice blah blah.
Reeks of moid mentality. Moids will say that choosing to be a "slut" is bad, but being a pick-me for male approval is good, stop controlling women, etc.
Moids have this desire to imprint their own hobbies and interests onto women, because they see women as empty vessels to fill with themselves (both figuratively and literally).
Girls shouldn't watch pedo-cartoons, it fosters internalized misogyny, and vindicates moids consuming animated softcore pedo-porn, as if it weren't a completely disgusting and vile thing to do.
>>114954You are right that criticizing "anime" is too generalized, because it's a very broad term, but you have to admit that perverted pedo-shit is the first thing that comes to peoples' minds when they say "anime". I can't think of a more specific term because it's not something unique to a genre, it's more a "culture" that pervades almost all genres of anime, and non-sexist anime is an exception rather than the rule, in all genres. Even shounen anime has a sexism problem, with women being vastly less powerful than men, despite the fact that the whole point of shounen is to be a power fantasy. The female characters are almost always pick-mes for the male protagonists. There's also "fan service" in most shounen, and other genres as well.
Personally, I prefer to call mature, cult anime "Japanese animation", rather than "anime", because it distances the respectable stuff from the degenerate stuff.

You assume we all watch the same anime and its all made the same way, for the same group of people. I admit I liked it more when I was a kid and lost interest in it because it became so cliched but there are good things here and there about it.

>>114986That is because the 90s and early 00s tropes of "bimbos" still clearly presented them as a negative stereotype that only exists in men's brains. Characters like the one in "Legally Blonde" challenged the idea that conventionally attractive girls with bleached hair and an interest in fashion were vapid airheads, and showed that they could actually have substance underneath all that. That was the whole point of the gag, "she looks stupid but isn't".
Nowadays girls are aspiring to be unironic dumb bimbos.

90% of female anima characters are accessories to male protagonists, and their existence revolves around a moid. And usually the female character is way more invested in the relationship than the moid character, who's busy being a dipshit and ignoring the love interest. Of course, they get together at the end, because the female character is a doormat.

The adage that 90% of everything is crap holds true, but I feel like when it comes to anime, 99% is more accurate.
At some point you have to throw in the towel and stop following it, because the chances of finding something good are too slim. Especially considering most anime "critics" are moids, and have shit taste.
My tactic for finding good anime is to follow "professional" artsy-fartsy critics. Sure, they're annoying, but they're a good filter between trash and stuff worth checking out.
Another good filter is just time. If something is talked about after years since its debut, there's a chance it's good. Classics are classics for a reason, because they're good/unique enough to be remembered for a long time.

>>116520Same. I've had to deal with online incel fucks a lot recently, so I came to the pinkpill threads on CC, I just wanted to vent about that scum and read something to counter incel rethoric which was making me feel like shit seeing it so often. But in doing so, I ended up becoming so bitter and depressed that I stopped enjoying life and started to hate men just for existing and to be preoccupied with shit that men do at all times. No, I don't like that at all, it feels fucking awful, I don't want to hate 24/7. I despise sexism/misogynism from men, even "casual sexism", but reading radfem/misandrist rethoric hasn't made me feel better, it actually has made me obsessed and I hate it. I just want to go back to having normal relations with males. The internet, and especially sites like imageboards, are a fucking cesspit of mental illness. Sex and gender roles are NOT the only component in male-female relations in real life, nor are those two even that important; there are so many factors that get ignored by people like incel retards and online radfems that even a normal person who's always had healthy relationships with the opposite sex could end up becoming a bitter misogynist or misandrist if they stumble upon these online communities and/or are exposed only to the worst examples of the opposite sex through cherry-picked examples and basic shit explanation like "this is in their nature so you can't trust any of them".
But neither you or I are going to convince the misandrists here. Some of them have simply been traumatized or suffered in some major way due to the men they've met, so their hate is justified. Others are way too deep into the radfem and pinkpill stuff that at that point it's up to them if they feel like changing their views, and it's not up to you to convince them, so why even try. I just accept it, ignore them and move on. I'm sure some men do the same when it comes to incels screeching about muh females and muh sex, plenty of men (even lonely virgins) must also be tired of this pointless war of the sexes shit.
I'm still calling them "moids" and "scrotes" when they annoy me though, because using imageboards that aren't exclusively for women is frustrating as fuck.

I wouldn't say that the hate is justified, but maybe understandable. Like how with hateful incels you'll often find they have terrible relationships with their mothers and their mothers were abusive. So these places just seem to attract abuse victims who have a warped and unhealthy view of the opposite sex.

In any case, there's a point where someone can subscribe to some of this stuff without having it be their actual belief system that dominates their life or colors their experience.
I'd advise people to just stay away from the related containment threads and topics if they aren't into them…even the rad fems that might relate to them but are deeply affected by them and aren't able to compartmentalize it well. I'd technically advise anyone to stay away if I didn't myself visit them sometime.

I feel like you do see some truth to what we say and you know deep in your heart that women complaining about rape murder and harassement and systemic exclusion committed by men will never be equivalent to incels screetching about women having sex but you don't like it much so you misdirect your frustration with us (the messengers)instead.

>>115049Same. People act buttflustered about eugenics because "le nazi did it!!", meanwhile they are okay with abortion. Abortion is eugenics. Its legalization made drop teenage crime drastically in the US between the 80-90s and 00s. Why ? Retarded, poor, tweens to be single moms being allowed to abort since the 70s means less scrotes born of a single mother in poverty, consequently less crime 20 years later. In western countries, women who abort the most are teenagers and tweens.
Abortion is also eugenics when you abort a disabled foetus.
And it's great.
Retards are a burden to society and their families, especially their mothers. Feminism and eugenics go hand in hand.

>>116727Completely agree. It’s sad when parents keep a downie child. The kid will have to live with the parents forever or have to live in a care home. There are only rare cases where they can be somewhat independent. Why subject yourself to that?

>>116693>Sex and gender roles are NOT the only component in male-female relations in real life, nor are those two even that importantYou also sound like you were born in some western paradise, no offense. As if its bad enough what women have to go through in secret, you can't help but feel the need to knock difficult discussion down, discredit it because it makes you angry.
I'm a radfem and I don't feel anything like you. I am really happy to live without the influence of a man in my life, but I don't obsess over my anger at all. If anything I feel better after I processed it all and came to my own conclusion. Which is what I think these discussions are for. People enter a discussion trying to find an answer. The process isn't supposed to be fun, its difficult and fraught, but at least in the end, you can find your own happiness if you try. I don't think giving up and being angry is anyone's goal in life. Inevitably you find what works for you.

>>116727Abortion is not eugenics. It would be eugenics if it was guided by the state. The fact that it is up to individual choice makes it no more eugenics than a woman choosing not sleeping with fat guys or whatever.
Anonymous 116841
>>116836agreed. i think people confuse these things, but eugenics has a specific meaning. choosing to abort a disabled fetus for any reason may be offensive to some people (i personally don't care, i'd rather it be aborted than raised by a family who hates them) but it's not eugenics unless it was forced by the government (china anyone?)

Speaking of anime, weeb moids like to proclaim undying love to their "waifus", but once the hype is over, they forget about the character and move on to the next flavor of the month. Remember Chaika? Lmao.
I find it poignant that moids can't stay loyal to even fictional characters. Really makes me think.

Still, I know that most people who call characters their "waifu" or "husbando" aren't actually that serious about it and just use the term for any character they're attracted to, which funnily enough makes actual waifuists seethe.

I don't really think it's a big deal to pierce baby's ears. Some people these days act like it's akin to mutilation. who gives a shit- it barely even hurts and you can just, take the damn earrings out when you are older if you want. I only think it's dumb that people do it with a piercing gun. I don't think it's some big feminist hill to die on. I also think its weird to want to decorate a baby but it's not some life-threatening nonsense. we can still hold onto some traditions.

Lolcow is a site dedicated to tear down women apart, specially white/attractive women.

>>117918I'm convinced people like to tear down cows that they see themselves in/cows that have a similar background or interests to them, but are less successful and more cringy. For example all the sex workers on Lolcow who are confirmed to post in the Shayna/other SW threads. Or all the weebs who made fun of PT and jvloggers and such, saying shit like "If I got the chance to go to Japan I would do so much better" "I speak better JP than her" etc. You can also see this on Kiwifarms which is majority male, and their most popular cows seem to be people like Chris-chan, DSP, and trans people like Kevin Gibes: nerdy failed men who they see as similar to but far inferior to themselves. Of course KF posts about some female cows and LC about some males, but people really do project their hatred onto what they hate the most about themselves. Also see fat people/former fat people who are really into ALR and Foodie Beauty.

>>117917>>117918Most users seem to be (white) women from America, UK etc., it makes sense they're targetting women who are like them. Outing myself as a former LC user but years ago, I used to lurk threads about a cow from my country and I'm pretty sure most of the regular posters there were of the same nationality as well. All the American, British etc. lolcows held no interest for me.
I think
>>117949 is spot on. People like to discuss and make fun of other people who share a similar background and interests they're also familiar with. Men tend to be drawn to gossip about other men, for women it's the same.

I looked up what happened and the first 2 films were like that due to the directing style of Chris Columbus, after that the directors for the other films were different. I stopped halfway through the 3rd one and didn't bother with the rest.

cringe is how I feel too, weirdly. I can't even fully articulate why. I remember…certain characters acting way more stilted and creepy. they get a "grimdark" sort of feel. I think it captures the enroaching dread well enough but when it tries being silly it's very…off. The magic is just missing.
I wish it at least kept the look of the earlier movies, which honestly looked way less fake despite supposedly being more for literal children.

I think it's really irresponsible when people let their pets outside and unmonitored. So many cats and dogs get run over by vehicles, lost and never found, hunted by an animal that's bigger than them, come back with a fatal infection, or are straight-up killed by humans who are sick of ferals. Cat owners are the most guilty of not giving a damn about their pets being outside and doing God-knows-what, and I've seen so many cats get squashed by cars because of that attitude.

Cats are attributed as one of the largest factors of sinking bird populations. If you want to know how important birds are, in China when the government incentivized killing sparrows to protect crops the next year they were destroyed by locusts that would have been controlled by the sparrows eating them. Anybody who cares a smidgeon for our Earth owes it to themselves to not let cats do willy nilly out doors.

And the shit plots, shitty character design for the sole reason of sexualizing, the sexualized being mostly underage girls, rampant pedophilia (lolishit) and everything about it. I cannot fucking stand anime and anime styles. It's so fucking unrealistic that it's alien. Styles can be unique, but the anime style has been copy and pasted countless times, usually solely for no life coomers with their huge tits no waists huge eyes nonexistant neck.

If you have an indoor cat that you never let outside even to poop, to non-cat owners your entire house smells like cat piss. All indoor cat owners who defensively claim their house does not smell like cat piss because they clean the litterbox and are very hygienic I have met have houses that smell like cat piss, you are just used to the smell.
Anonymous 222574
>>222570Honestly, my opinion about this might not be unpopular but I hate how there is no nuance to this opinion. If you live in an urban area, I can see why it is important to keep your cat indoors, especially like an apartment. But there are some people I have seen here in the countryside who don't officially adopt cats or take them in but ARE caring for them in some capacity, which I think is a good thing. They leave food out to them, participate in trap, spay, and release programs all over to reduce the amount of kittens, get stray cats vaccination. so even if they're not taking cats into their home, they are still caring for them. I guess if you hate cats, it might not be a good thing to you though in your eyes.

If you're letting your pet stink up the house, you're raising that pet wrong and that's a "you" problem. Not an indoor cat problem. Many cat owners letting their houses smell like urine only proves to me that a lot of people should not be owning pets.

If you own a cat, a dog, a ferret, or whatever, you need to take responsibility for where they are and what that animal gets into. A pet that you own should not be outside, roaming the neighborhood, at 3am, where anything can happen to them while you're sound asleep. That's not hating cats, that's just not wanting them to die from their owners' negligence like how they always do. It's simple, really.
