"She had a disprder... that normal people didn't" (IBS)

This is a good test because nazi talmud posting usually goes under the radar and doesn't get instantly picked up by auto-moderation. If there are nazis on your website at all, you're gonna get inundated with such posts. I mean just try this on Twitter if you can stomach it

A good test of any social media site's moderation is the Talmud Search. Simply type the world "talmud" into the search bar. If your moderation is alright, you're gonna get extremely anodyne posts from religious Jewish people. If there are any flaws, you'll be inundated with nazi memes

One of the BluRay stories is entirely about Shimamura being afraid she can't have sex with Adachi because she doesn't feel anything towards her that she could classify as lust. There's her conversation with Pancho, too. I don't think there's any ambiguity in her being ace at least

Also, this one's gonna sound inflamatory but like, if you're going to in good faith comment on racism in the queer community, you *have* to be aware that people are doing this shit. You can't just pretend it doesn't exist when a (white!!!) trans woman complains about it.

I've been talking about this for months but it's like every week there's a new example of this. Like just doing a search for "white trans women" will overwhelmingly get you statements of "They're into incest" "They're perverts and predators". Those sure are qualities often attributed to white people

Sorry for the discourse take but: If at this point you're not convinced that complaining about "white trans women" is overwhelmingly used as a way to launder rank transphobia I don't know what to tell you. It's so blatant, too

1. This is a good tip

2. I'm now imagining a Japanese person learning English being told to read Cormac McCarthy for the same reason

The point isn't moral paralysis or a constant unending search for The Media/Content with perfect politics (which, to be fair seems to be the dominant mode of thought among more progressive zoomers) but to just some sense of perspective. That what you see as "apolitical" is actually just Normalized

People forget that this became a topic of online debate specifically around the gamergate era where a lot of people complained about black/queer characters being introduced in games because they made it "political", when, in fact, the status quo is equally political, but is seen as "normal"

Pet peeve: when culture warriors get really mad at the statement "All art is political" because they smugly confuse it with the statement "All art is a direct expression of the author's personal, explicitly held political beliefs" instead of the anodyne "We live in a society" point it actually is

If you're right-wing this means overconsuming beef tallow and steak. People are particularly obsessed now with protein and protein products and simple home meals that have 400g of protein and 5g of sugar etc. etc.

One of the defining traits of American health crazes is that they cannot accept that overconsumption is probably what's making them unhealthy, so they just desperately try to search for The Superfood that you should overconsume in order to be the healthiest

White people love to golf in the middle of a storm and right as they rase their club to the sky for a swing be hit by a bolt of lightning that leaves them charred

This reached rock-bottom I think when Oppenheimer came out and you had several tweets talking about how WEEBS get mad when you point out the OBJECTIVE TRUTH that those schoolchildren DESERVED to be obliterated by nukes because of Unit 731

Whenever you get a news story of a Japanese person doing something evil, you have these bizarre racist 100k like tweets that are like "The WEEBS don't wanna admit that the NIPONIC RACE is INHERENTLY EVIL". Strange phenomenon.
