The fact that people don't think friendship is enough to justify characters doing insane acts of love for each other baffles me. Like have you never loved your friend so so much you want to live in their ribcage. Have you never been really weird about a friend. Have you never wanted to bite your friends parents or shove them down a staircase. Have you never wanted to be buried in the same grave as a friend. Have u never. How do u people live like this.

Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.

If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.

If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.

Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.

"I'm no better than a man!" Men being horny for women is also morally neutral. Hope this helps.

Men being horny for women isn't inherently about power though. Like this is so odd. OP is completely correct and y'all should really acknowledge that yes, straight men being horny for women IS in fact morally neutral

Mens attraction being inherently predatory and destructive and needing to be restrained is, in fact, part of evangelical ideology, and i think a number of people have unrecognised evangelical beliefs, left over from their youth or gained from societal permeation of whatever. And maybe they should recognise and critically examine those beliefs. And think a bit about where they got them from, instead of thinking up feminist justifications for them.

"Mens attraction being inherently predatory" is an excuse to pretend men are mindless beasts who aren't in control of their own actions, which by extension also means they cannot be blamed for said actions.

It's "Boys will be boys" taken to the extreme.

It's the attitude that leads to bullshit like blaming rape victims for the way they were dressed.

It's not feminism, it's the exact opposite, it's a fucking scapegoat for the people these "radical feminists" claim to hate.

Our September piece is live! 💞 Longtime fandom reporter (and longtime K-pop fan) @bookshop / @ajawrites digs into the smash success of Kpop Demon Hunters, the complicated state of the K-pop industry right now, and why, despite media narratives in recent weeks, the fictional and real streams of K-pop might not actually be crossing.

While the film owes a great deal to its genre-spinning combination of anime tropes, Korean folklore, and a dash of Disneyfication, the media has granted most of the credit for the film’s wild popularity to its K-pop soundtrack. In fact, the film’s success seems to have erased months of handwringing throughout the first half of 2025 about whether K-pop is “in crisis.” The narrative of an underrated Cinderella film, buoying the global rise of K-pop with its smash-hit soundtrack, is a hard one to resist.

But if no one expected KPDH to take over the latter half of 2025, does that mean it’s a game-changer for K-pop as a whole, or a fluke that has nothing to do with the broader K-pop fandom?

HI TUMBLR! This was so much fun, it's so nice to get to write about fandom again. And I hadn't realized how much I missed writing about K-pop! Thanks, Elizabeth! Thanks, Fansplaining!

What is apartment hunting so demoralizing. I just want to live in a place with no water damage and a bathroom, laundry on site would be nice but I could work around it. Apparently if I want that I have to move an hour further out of the city or have 3 roommates

why is the housing market so shit I mean I know why I'm just frustrated I wouldn't even mind living with another person it's just that every person listing their new apartment for roommates is a college student anyways I am on day 3 of this and I want to die I love my apartment but the water damage has gotten out of control sigh vent post personal I guess
