    … Is it a me-problem that I don’t feel as though superman’s design is that terribly sexualized or objectified at all in the first place???

    Maybe it could be because I’m asexual, but, the thing about that is: I’ve never had trouble telling when something was manufactured for titillation in the past. Because, I have found, it always seems as though titillation is not so much about what it includes, but about what it lacks.

    Y’know how pornography has either no story, or its story is of a most rudimentarily threadbare quality?

    How the props are cheap if there are any aside from sex toys…

    Usually it’s because of the presumption that nobody’s going to be paying attention to all the other background stuff, they’re here to ogle the sex.

    …which is to say, again, Defined By What It Lacks: Distraction From The Sex.








  • Poe’s Law. There are always too many people who will take it seriously and act in “retaliation”. If they think someone is at all likely to use what you said as a justification for stochastic violence, they will bend over backwards to interpret it as uncharitably as possible.

    Because they’re stupid and they suck.
    FWIW I like the joke. White people are indeed an invasive species, and my ethnicity is one of the ones labeled “white” so I would be detained too. By all means, send me to Poland. Force Europe to accept me as a citizen on the basis of my ancestry.




  • Do you promise, Canada? Really promise? If you do… You can stay. You don’t have to go. Let all of our regions be vassals until each respective one individually proves itself worthy of becoming a province. The province of New England would welcome you as liberators and celebrate your arrival as the new independence day…
