the pipeline of fixating over some thingy

[image id: On the left, a drawing of a nondescript character smiling and throwing up peace signs, labelled "First fanart of a character you liked". On the right, the same character is seated in an elaborate dress, with feathered wings, in front of a birdcage covered in sparkle. This drawing is labelled "30th fanart of the character. This is how you know you're cooked". /end id]

alright alternate route for people who have problems (i understand)

if female top nudity weren't viewed as inherently sexually explicit. oh brother. I would be letting those puppies hang like you wouldn't believe

the thing is I would be okay with being viewed as sexually attractive while topless. like a shirtless cis man can be a considered a hunk beefcake eye candy etc but it's not by nature r-rated. usamerican society at large is able to understand that toplessness can be sexually appealing but is not in itself a sexual act when a man does it. if I could be just casually topless on a hot day or something without the little flashing light over my head saying think of the CHILDREN I would be getting minoan with it

One kind of funny thing about Tumblr culture is that it's a universally unspoken rule that if you meet another tumblr user irl and you don't know them super well it's a little odd to ask for their Tumblr, even though youd do that with pretty much any other social platform. Like I was chatting with this person in one of my classes and they were like "oh yeah I have tumblr!" And I was like "oh cool me too!" Then we both just paused for a second, and just. Moved on with the conversation without asking for each other's Tumblr cuz You Don't Do That?? Your tumblr is a personal place. You dont share that shit with strangers. And tbh?? I love that

i love characters who do the “i worship the myth i make of you” and in turn dehumanize and get wrong the object of their devotion and love. yes project a thing that does not exist onto a pedestal and kneel at it like it is your altar. this will surely not blow up in both of your faces eventually

why are cyberpunk tabletop things so obsessed with decency and personhood being tied to how many surgeries you haven’t had

“if you have a prosthetic it takes out a part of your soul” like thanks shadowrun

in early cyberpunk, the point was more along the lines of “if we integrate technology into our bodies we risk becoming dependent upon the people and institutions who control that technology, who would then use that to enrich themselves at our expense”

unfortunately that was too anti-corporate for American mainstream culture so as cyberpunk moved out of its niche it became “uhhh it eats your soul I guess”

And they (the original message, not Shadowrun) were right. So many people with prosthetics and sensory aids and insulin pumps and so forth are at the mercy of the bloodthirsty corporations who own the rights to their devices.

Everyone keeps talking about "the writer's barely disguised fetish". But I still haven't heard about "the writer's barely disguised huge ass pet peeve"

the sign is lying... you can stick your fingers in his cage... trust me... it'll be okay...
