"how familiar are you with the ancien regime" has become shorthand in my head for this phenomena

so real. the outsider view of sadism and dominance couldn’t be further from the reality of how most dynamics actually work (this is why The Duke of Burgundy is such a good film).

i’d recommend these folks read “The Slow unfurling of Sadism,” but i’m not sure they’d get it.

a tool of patriarchal violence and rape culture is always already a tool of the bourgeois boot. the working woman can barely keep a subsistence wage or a private life if she is perpetually under threat of losing everything to the click of a deepfake generation machine

I saw a bar trivia team name that was

"Congrats to Charlie Kirk for going one hundred and eleven days without saying something racist" on a screen alongside

"Cindy's Nutz"
"The Fluffers"
"PTown"
"Velociraptor II: The Second Coming"
"Your Penis is a Horror Movie"
