Most of those look very practical, and while in some media Wilhelmina's costume could be used to manipulate men in a patriarchal society, and be a strategic choice for the character, for some reason I don't think that's the case here haha. She's most likely designed for the boys, but at least it's not an egregious in your face objectification like the post just above yours.

They're seriously at the point where they can't comprehend that a woman could dress attractively. There better be a narrative reason!

literally just the inverse of "there needs to be a narrative reason that this character is black otherwise it's weird"

[Vertigo]

I haven’t seen poor things but what’s this, is it legit or another case of them forcing themselves into everything?

The final twist of the movie in the gin scene is great.

With the trans subtext, it's even better.

Time to give all terfs the simple, unaggressive minds of goats!
.

So I googled it and oh boy…we’re off to the races!

https://offscreencentral.com/2023/12/08/poor-things-is-the-trans-fairy-tale-i-never-knew-i-needed/

A movie about a woman being brought back from the dead and offered the opportunity to embark on an odyssey of self-discovery and sexual liberation and live a life far beyond the social constraints formerly placed on her? Come on – Bella Baxter is one estradiol tablet away from being an explicitly trans character. And considering how often we get explicitly trans characters in cinema (read: not often), we have to claim a few every now and then whose experiences at least somewhat align with ours.

It's another case of them forcing themselves into everything.

For one Bella explicitly enjoys sex once she discovers it. She also has men who find her beautiful. Try finding some of the utter states that claim their women and can't even pass convincingly have that happen. She also becomes a prostitute later in the movie when she learns she can get money for it. Seeing how many of the weirdos don't get any sex and through their actions hate female sexuality.  I don't see the parallels.

Bella also takes charge of her own body by questioning men who want to infantilise her or question why she won't be polite or stick to social norms. (that warped what women wear thread on Reee tells me a lot of these jokers are not very subtle biological women haters who want to control what attractive women can and can't wear)

The strangest part is (spoiler added in case people want to watch the movie)

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Bella has the brain of a newborn. At the beginning of the movie, a pregnant Emma Stone jumps off a bridge to her death and Willem Dafoe's Dr character reanimates her by putting her own baby's brain inside her body. Hence the character has a woman's body but the brain of a toddler

Which itself creates its own questions 



But really it's about a woman who discovers herself, the world and her sexuality and grabs back her autonomy from men who wish to use it for their own ends and hate that she's a whore who 'ruined' herself by using her femininity to make money.

[Nintex]

yo I can't believe folks in here are spreading that fcking litter box shit

this stuff is dangerous as hell and well meaning folks have to be really careful and cognizant of what they might be spreading around

the litter box hoax is not only related to furries but is explicitly anti-trans children.

I mean, can you fucking stop inventing bs about Pokemon fans? We know you didnt like Pokemon SV but you keep on inventing about how Pokemon fans are super ultra defensive and see no wrong about Pokemon when literally Pokemon is 99% of the time on a "shitting on Gamefreak" mood everywhere in the internet. I said this in the other thread that was closed but it is just fucking annoying how era loves to shit on Pokemon and complain about shit and then always ignore the answers because they just want to believe that no, Pokemon fans just are super defensive and just like to play trash.

 

Dude, that serebii's asshole is in the fucking forum.

User banned (1 month): whitewashing various atrocities

We have reporting that the Biden admin is pushing hard for a Palestinian state and is seeking to whip up international support to help the transition to one.

We also have an admin that has, for literally the first time in the history of our relationship with Israel, placed conditions on aid given that stipulates it cannot be provided to or used by settlers in the West Bank.

I may not agree with the way the Admin is influence campaigning by way of aid but it is flat out false to say that they are more Hawkish than any other politician. It's unequivocally wrong. But it sure as hell ain't surprising. We've seen this same playbook of influence campaigns exploiting wedge issues to attempt suppress turnout before.

Do you think Biden is helping the world at all?

4 years from now when DEMOCRACY is at stake again what's the arguments gonna be? Vote for another fascist enabler abroad to prevent one domestically? The political strategy of getting a disgusting pig and then never being allowed to lose is going to bite the democrats in the ass eventually

Absolutely yes his admin is helping the world at large. For one preventing Putin from expanding his country's borders via violent genocidal occupation of neighboring countries wherein their children are kidnapped and sent back to his country or killed in untold atrocities.

But let's pretend that doesn't matter. The Biden admin has created the single biggest investment in clean energy infrastructure in the world and has not just helped fund domestic energy infrastructure but also provided grants for clean energy companies that have made huge breakthroughs that benefit the world over. Everything from new transmission technologies that allow for an exponential increase in energy transmission efficiency and affordability to the ability to easily and quickly retrofit existing fossil fuel infrastructure to produce clean hydrogen and other sustainable fuels.

How many of the people in here heard about the recent decisions made on IRA tax credits for hydrogen production? His admin was being relentlessly lobbied by corporate interests to make these credits as broad as possible and instead they sided with environmentalists and made them extremely strict ensuring that any credits given would need to be produced with provable clean energy upstream. The results of that decision will mean a massive investment in not just clean energy infrastructure but in building out the electric grid itself. It's a huge win. Furthermore they announced the coalition they created to help secure investment in those very things days later.

There's also the matter of the CHIPS act moving silicon fabrication and other production out of China's sphere of influence.

The vast majority of people genuinely have no understanding of how much the IRA and the CHIPS Act dramatically changed things.

Or, looking outside these two acts, his unwavering support for labor action and the NLRB's changes to non disclosure agreements and non compete clauses along with their increased protections for workers seeking to unionize.

But let's just ignore all of that. Let's just pretend none of the above happened. The election of Trump ushered in an international wave of far right support and governance. The reality is that a far right leader in the US emboldens the far right internationally. So even ignoring all of his accomplishments by means of defeating and curbing the far right influence in the US he, by default, has benefitted the world at large. Unless someone wants to argue that the world is a better place with more far right dictators.

Yeah, who knows, truly Trump's method of governance and plans for a second term remain shrouded in mystery.

Well I mean no one expected Biden to support fucking genocide yet here we are. So unless Trump outright says something on the matter about how he will go about it we don't know if he'll be just as bad as Biden, worse or somehow do the unexpected and desculate the situation.

Yeah, like I said in the last thread, I'm still not sure why gaza is such an animating issue for leftists, when the kidnapped children alone in Ukraine is multiple times the death count. Not even counting the indiscriminate strikes on civilian centers.

Even ignoring how trump was literally impeached for trying to condition aid on Ukraine lying for him, Biden actively got ahead of the situation there and formed up resolve to get other countries to assist, blunting the invasion. I'm not sure any other dem president other than like... Hillary or something would have been able to handle it as well. Certainly not Obama, who just let them roll over Crimea without pushback

Are you fucking serious right now?

Just what is their issue with games using AI in the development process? Obviously based on Palworld because I just don’t see what’s causing the wrath so much 

AI has been declared subversive and evil by the left, which is simply known, so no justification is required

prior justification is that it's "stealing art, infringing on copyright" (it's not), and that it devalues the work of artists and takes their jobs, and since we're not in a UBI post-scarcity post-capitalism society yet, those artists need those jobs 

[Boredfrom]

I don’t even think that game uses AI in the way the keep bitching about (3D models designs). It sounds more like they latched on something the CEO of that company said.

Banning furries might be a Republican foil for banning trans kids from school, I don't really care. However, furries are a disruptive element at any school and, for the sake of all the kids who are at school to learn more than just not peeing on the furniture, should be taken away by animal control to be humanely destroyed.

Reading the entire paper now, but happy to report it seems I've at least been more on the right track than not in these discussions under the paper's hypotheses. Namely, that human expansion is defined less by biological factors and genetics than it is by cultural factors which derive from our niche ability to control and extract resources from our environment. In other words, we're not necessarily fucking doomed because we are biologically self-destructive.
