ignoring the end of the last ravening war ep. karna lives and her and deli slam it down big style and have a child that is a stuffed pepper
when internet people are like “i love gothic literature but i hate anything that discusses incest, sexual violence, oppression, misogyny, abuse, torture, gore, murder, or death”
no actually me and everyone else who’s ever watched crimson peak were brainwashed by guillermo del toro into believing that incest and violence are cool and awesome. sorry
Horrifying that this pearl-clutching over horror actually being dark is unironically becoming A Thing…
A lot of folks are responding to the whole Reddit situation by calling for the return of decentralised forums, and I think it's important to remember that, contrary to certain popular narratives, the reason early 2000s forum culture has fallen by the wayside is not because people are Just Lazy. Certainly, ease of use is part of it, but a much larger part of it is how vulnerable self-hosted forums are.
Basically, the problem is that even the largest and most carefully managed self-hosted forums can be rendered unusable more or less indefinitely by a single sufficiently determined hostile actor. This can take the form of both attacks on the forum's social infrastructure (i.e., via sock-puppet accounts, botting, organised "raids", etc.) and attacks on its technical infrastructure (i.e., via hacking, DDoS, etc.). In either case, a self-hosted forum has no real defence, and the majority of decentralised forum communities survive only by virtue of their relative obscurity; once a self-hosted forum manages to attract the attention of That One Guy who's willing to devote his life to shitting the place up over some microscopic slight, it's effectively game over.
Right now, there are essentially only two mitigation strategies:
- Gathering huge numbers of communities under a single, massively centralised technical infrastructure that's simply too large and robust for any one hostile actor to bring down; and
- Hardening the community's social infrastructure either by going private and invite only (i.e., the Discord approach), or by making use of a vast centralised pool of volunteer labour to aggressively enforce community standards (i.e., the Reddit approach).
To be clear, these are not intractable problems; other solutions may well exist. However, any proposed plan for bringing decentralised public forums back needs to address them. If you're going in operating under the assumption that forums have become marginalised simply because corporations are evil and people are lazy, you're setting yourself up to learn the hard way why self-hosted forums no longer seem to be capable of growing beyond a certain point.
Do you guys think Julian’s parents had a bad relationship, which lead to his negative views on the concept of marriage? Or was he just a professional slut and hater
I think lemurs are just like that

The Original
“Sun-Spider was absolutely one of my favorite assignments on the film. I poured over Dayn Broder’s original designs to include as many design markers as I could, while trying to see if I could plus up the design. Had to make the wheelchair a mech that could follow her around.” — Kris Anka
etiquette tip for any new people coming in from reddit! if you want to understand anything that happens on here, you have to watch all 15 seasons of supernatural. no skips, sorry :(. it’s just considered really rude here to interact with other posters without having seen all 300+ episodes
oh and don't even get me STARTED on the scene w the guidance counselor trying to help miles be more palatable to ivy league schools
here they are, miles and his parents having this argument and after maybe twenty seconds she immediately throws out the "son of an immigrant from a struggling family" template
and both miles mom and dad oppose to it because. its really not true. and thats not who miles is. this guidance counselor says she wants to "know" miles but she doesn't. she just wants to know what elements of miles background will pander to universities.
I loved that it called out that specific toxic pattern inherent to those institutions AND I loved that it tied into the underlying theme in the movie about how tragedy doesn't define you
tragedy is not who you are. ur circumstances do not define you. you define you. simple as that.
