I would really like to hope that someday we can do better than Obama. Being the best president in recent memory isn't an amazingly high bar and I'd really like to see a world where we have something better.

Especially with respect to foreign policy. And I know many folks don't connect with why that's a big deal, but one of my closest friends is Coptic and her people were targeted for ethnic cleansing by a militant faction in Egypt after Obama backed them, because our favorite foreign policy in the US is to back some militant group anytime what the government of a region is doing is even mildly inconvenient to us.

If you remember the men that Isis executed on the beach in video, in the first like beheading video that was a thing ages ago- those men were Copts. My friend has community members she considered family who are dead now back in Egypt. If I remember right she said the population dropped from like 15% of Egypt to 5% in a span of a handful of years.

The toll of horrifying american foreign policy is not just an abstract bogeyman leftist bring up to trash politicians you like, they have actual death tolls and leave behind people who are mourning. Its not even good foreign policy either, we're radicalized half the world to hate our guts, which as it turns out is not the most geopolitically advantageous.

Just realized that my lifelong dream is to be a cat in a two cat household and we can bathe eachother.

I don't care that I'm hornyposting. My aspirations were previously unknown to me, and now I have purpose in this world

Much of kink is people playing with the things that feel heavy to them in ways that push their buttons.

Race and the dynamics around it are a heavy thing that we internalize as part of our social conditioning, and for some people they have a desire to play with it.

Personally I have no interest, and its important for people to remember that the heavy things they like to play with are difficult subjects and to treat them with care (often people do not adequately engage with why raceplay is so heavy, and then engage with others in a shitty way as a result. At which point it is not play, just racism). But as long as folks treat the subject with the appropriate respect and sensitivity until they've negotiated a dynamic and then stay within what's negotiated I see it as being similar to all the other ways folks like to play with the things that are heavy to them. Like consentual nonconsent, where people roleplay nonconsentual sex, or forced feminization as a way of playing with the harmful way men are measured against a metric of masculinity and punished for failing by comparing them to women as degradation.

But then, I'm white, so folks actually impacted by the heaviness of the subject may feel differently, and its important to listen to people actually impacted by something. In the kink community in my area it crops up as a point of contention periodically.

Especially goldfish, which are in the carp family and honestly theres a good case to be made theyre really pond fish more than fish-tank fish.

The only reason they stay so small in captivity is because they produce a hormone that stunts growth- this is supposed to give them a competive advantage over other goldfish, and help the collective population survive if they're in a small body of water where resources are limited. This can and does happen in nature, but a bowl or even moderately sized tank takes that to a pretty significant extreme compared to what "limited space and resources" might look like in a sectioned off area of even a small pond

If we're taking care of animals and accepting responsibility for their wellbeing I think its fair to say we really ought to provide them with reasonable conditions and not just saddle them with less than that because they are hardy enough to survive those suboptimal conditions

Just realized I'm posting from my alt lol, I may not see replies for a bit

Oh shit I missed February, hmu next Feb folks

Butt-snipes lookin kinda cute tho... 😳

Wendigo (/ˈwɛndɪɡoʊ/) is a mythological creature or evil spirit originating from Algonquian folklore. The concept of the wendigo has been widely used in literature and other works of art, such as social commentary and horror fiction.

• wikipedia

Wendigo are evil. It's not racism to assume the creature is evil if it's canonically evil according to the indigenous culture that created it 😅 There can be media that reworks the idea, but it's literally an evil spirit with ravenous hunger that eats humans

Coming up with imaginary scenarios where it’s suddenly moral to have sex with kids or sheep is super weird and creepy.

Coming up with imaginary scenarios where being a furry is about wanting to fuck sheep is also weird, and yet here we are. My closest friend is a furry and has zero interest in sexualizing her sonas or other people's, she just likes drawing herself as dog characters. For her it's a way of processing different parts of herself by personifying them as separate characters, and she enjoys anthropomorphic animals as an aesthetic 🤷🏻

The rhetoric you're using is exactly the same harmful stuff folks say about queer folks, complete with the same leap in logic from whats happening (drawing anthro characters in various contexts including sexual ones, having queer relationships including queer sex) to something intrinsically harmful (animal abuse, pedophilia).

Your own post is just you venting that you hate people that seem weird to you. How would anyone learn anything from that when you clearly didn't? You clearly didn't make the post to try and learn anything.

I saw this on my regular account and switched to my horny account for being horny 😌

Yeah she frequently expresses her bewilderment at american Christianity lol 😅

That's fine regarding paragraph 2, but its gross to tell an indigenous culture the evil spirit from their folklore actually isnt evil and that saying so is racist. Doing so as if thats actually a progressive take is particularly gross. Comparing said evil spirit to black people is also gross, that is an obviously faulty comparison.

You are not the author of their culture. They are. You can imagine this is a non canonical exploration of the idea of a wendigo just like the people who imagine fucking one, but it's an evil creature. It is their folklore that they have a ravenous hunger for human beings, and are explicitly evil.

Claiming to have the authority to negate a culture's own voice on aspects of their culture is a deeply disrespectful thing to do, please don't.

Can kinky fedi train boys also be tied up near the trolley tracks? I would like equal opportunity to participate

You started this whole internet fight by attacking a subculture unprovoked. People aren't trolling you they just think your behavior sucks

Jesus CHRIST

Such a pretty character design! Anyone know where the character is from?

I'm a guy lol. I am hornyposting in my own right, don't deny me my individuality!

I'm trying to provide basic answers to complex questions. You're more than welcome to study the neuroscience and psychology of human sexuality.

Lmao. The case you were making that you aren't a troll ain't lookin so hot chief 😅

That is absolutely rich given the things you have said in this thread.

I do my best to politely correct people for cultural appropriation if I know the culture well enough to know its harmful or if I have explicitly learned from that group of people that it is harmful, because it is important not to center yourself in other people's struggle.

You know, like saying that an evil spirit from a given culture's folklore is not evil because its convenient to your position and that claiming as much is just like racism even though its not even a little bit like racism.

Jesus fucking CHRIST 😳😵‍💫
