  • Honestly? I think how you see it depends on your lived experience; almost every man has had a partner complain about their hobby (gaming especially); a lot get ultimatums and have lived in that cycle of abuse. A lot of it is rooted in partnership ideals where only the emotional wellbeing of the woman matters - the kind of toxic nonsense we all want shut of I’d say.


  • So, let’s say you have a system where people go to work, do their job, and get paid. The employer wants more productivity, so the work becomes more stressful (“a full workload”). The worker does more for less, the company celebrates.

    There is a hidden element here: stress. Your workers will be more productive, however their baseline stress levels will rise over time. It’s cumulative and takes years to show; but it means everyone above a certain age who works a well paying job has a high stress burden. A lot of people live without any job security.

    Stressed organisms do not reproduce.







  • Dear Matty_r,

    I’m writing to inform you that your bone insurance has just been cancelled as you have been deemed an unacceptable risk by our new “BONED™” AI.

    We’re sorry for the inconvenience, and offer our deepest condolences for your bones.

    Kind Regards,

  • Here we are; a controversial take on something almost accurate. The context is there for the feminist - women only organisations as safe spaces for women to talk about the issues the patriarchy inflicts upon them.

    However, the implication goes beyond the context - “man bad, no want woman safe space” is heavily implied; it’s there but just deniable enough to ragebait, allowing a feminist talking point reply. An excellent trolling strategy, though possibly a self defeating one.

    The trouble is, this tactic tends to alienate rather than convert. As a historical example; Megalia’s use of this tactic created pushback from the very group it sought to defeat. Is this a measure of success, or is it an indication of self defeating anger? Tricky call.
