This line from lysandres wiki is so funny his motivations are truly incomprehensible

Never let them know your next move

So there was this psychologist who invented a type of blood pressure test, and while testing it on his wife, he noticed her blood pressure seemed to be elevated when she was angry or excited. This fact lead to a California police officer named John Augustus Larson to develop the polygraph, aka "lie detector", by combining the blood pressure test with several other measurements in an attempt to determine if the subject is lying.

This has lead the psychologist to be known as the father of the polygraph, even though he didn't directly invent it. He definitely tried to commercialize it, though including appearing in a series of ads for Gillette Razors, using the lie detector as a theme.

A few years after the invention of the polygraph, he published a book titled "Emotions of Normal People", heavily based on the original research of his life partner (as he and his wife were in a polyamorous relationship, living together for many years (including 50 years after his death!) and having two of his children). In it, he provided a defense of many sexual taboos. In it, he developed the DISC theory: dominance, inducement, submission, and compliance. He assigned active and passive to emotions and behaviors, and environments as antagonistic and favorable, and theorized how these different attitudes and environments interacted. For example, "Submission produces passivity in a favorable environment".

This was pretty much exactly as BDSMy as it sounds, with him also having theories about how the masculine drive for freedom was inherently violent, whereas women could use their "loving allure" to lead people to an ideal state of submission to loving authority.

Anyway in 1940 he was interviewed by his life partner under a pseudonym, and said that there was great potential for education in the medium of comic books. This interview got read by Max Gaines, a comics books publisher, who co-founded All-American Publications (one of the companies that later merged with National Comics Publications to form DC Comics). The psychologist was hired on as an educational consultant.

After a conversation with his wife about creating a new super hero based on fighting with love instead of fists, he took the idea to Max Gaines and was given approval to create a comic under this idea. His wife's main contribution was the idea that the hero should be a woman.

In any case, the polyamorous psychologist with a bondage kink who had formerly helped invent the lie detector went on to develop his super hero comic based on all these influences. So in 1941, under the pseudonym of Charles Moulton (combining his name of William Moulton Marston with Max Gaines' middlename), the first issue of Wonder Woman was published under the Sensation Comics line:

Hand one, more people should know about this.

Hand two, this downplays his wife's role, the role of their marriage's third partner, and for fucks sake, doesn't even mention their names - Elizabeth Holloway and Olive Byrne.

So keep reading more about this, friends, and learn some history:

Good addition! (I left the names out because originally I was trying to avoid names until the end, but then went back and added some in, but forgot to add theirs)

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

only at the introduction of ‘queer palestine and the empire of critique’ by sa’ed atshan and i will simply cry now

all cops are bastards because all cops are just doing their jobs

“I’m just doing what I’m told. If I am ordered to remove gold fillings from refugees theeth then that’s what I’ll do”, says police officer Michael Hansen. Just thought I’d add this since not a lot of people outside of the nordic countries seem to have seen it. This is a danish police officer discussing a new danish law that says the police should seize the possesions and money of refugees to finance the integration.

He uh, skipped awful quickly to “stealing gold fillings” didn’t he?

God, please...

Reblog if one of these bitches (affectionate) has consumed your life at some point.

Many many beautiful women drape themselves over me and lie on my floor with their feet kicking. "THIS internet story is fake too," I say and show them all my phone. "You can tell by how contrived the situation is." The women break into a chorus of oooos and ahhhs and put kisses all over my face because I've done it again.

I invite all the beautiful women over while I browse r/choosingbeggars and r/maliciouscompliance and I can spot every single fake story. "The text screenshots are clearly fake." They are all in love with me and they kiss me so much.

Chrissy I dunno this sounds a little far-fetched

"Wh--? Hahah. Hahah what?" I show my phone to all the beautiful women. "What a weird comment. Someone is jealous of all my beautiful women who love and kiss me for real." I show all the beautiful women my phone with the weird comment. "The beautiful ladies agree this is real, and they all love me so much." My hand is slick and cold. My breath is wet on the air. "This comment is fake. The beautiful women agree."

I try to show my phone to the beautiful women. I show my phone and it's a paltry beacon in the darkness, cutting dust, cutting little else. "Right, ladies?" I show the dust. I show the darkness. I await my kisses. I await my kisses. I await my

I shiver.

yo same

it do be like that though

I don’t think this should be reblogged without the context that this a nude Ghost Rider pin-up that was printed in an official Marvel Comics swimsuit special 

we used to have real comics in this country

very unfortunate that 'listen to Adjective voices' is a useless maxim best used to select the Adjective voice that already agrees with you and cudgel people with it while 'investigate the positions of people directly affected by an issue before solidifying your own opinion on it' is a vital approach to forming any coherent and liberatory social politics but only the former is a catchy slogan

We all have each other

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

NO its a JOKE and YOU DONT GET IT. ITS NOT THAT DEEP

While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive

alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife

im going INSANE thats MY POST.

It's your post but the journey to posting it changed it to such a degree that even its closest intimacies are now foreign to you. Sorry dude.
