one of the ways i know this culture has a massive issue with consent

is the sheer amount of people I’ve known that just lie & tell people they’re deathly allergic to foods they dislike

because otherwise people will hound them, mock them, coax them, harass them, try to force them to eat it, or even trick them into eating it, and they will never hear the end of it

your coworkers will bake it into a fucking pie, call it something else, and wait til your birthday, gather everyone and their first cousins to sit around in a circle waiting for you to put a forkful into your mouth and then point rhythmically at you in a chanting, glaring, sweating, unholy circle like SWISS CHARD SWISS CHARD YOU JUST ATE SWISS CHARD HA HA HA SWISS CHARD NOW YOU LIKE SWISS CHARD

Because forcing someone into a situation where they don’t feel safe declining putting something into their body they’d rather not be there is totes 100% wholesome American fun

And this is something so known that it’s infinitely easier to just lie and tell people that you’ll die if you eat that food…which actually doesn’t always stop it from happening

ok kids repeat after me

vinegar and bleach makes chlorine gas, which is highly toxic

ammonia and bleach makes chloramine, which is highly toxic

rubbing alcohol and bleach makes chloroform, which is highly toxic

hydrogen peroxide and vinegar makes peracetic/peroxyacetic acid, which can be highly corrosive

be careful about your cleaning products and dont get yourself injured or potentially killed ok

why it so dangerous to be clean

As someone who’s job is to handle chemicals like this, I need to state that this information is IMPORTANT. Plenty of people have accidentally injured or killed themselves at home because they didn’t know what kind of reaction certain substances have with one another. Play it safe and don’t mix chemicals.

Also don’t use bleach to clean up urine it’ll create chloramine bc of the ammonia in it and you can give yourself chemical pnemonia that way

So many Pro-Spanking advocates talk about how they “Deserved” to be hit by their parents because they were “a bad kid.” And it makes me so sad.

You weren’t.

You weren’t a bad kid, and you didn’t deserve to be hit. Maybe you were a difficult kid, maybe you struggled with boundaries or rules or expectations. Maybe you had bad behavior much of the time. But you, yourself, were not and are not a BAD person for that, and you didn’t EARN violence. You didn’t have it coming. It shouldn’t have happened to you. 

Someone’s kids are spoiled rotten little fucks who don’t know how to behave in public or at home. There have been many attempts to successfully pull spanking from parenting in recent years as the post modernist mentality hit that realm. But there is a reason is it a tried and true part of parenting because there is a balance to achieve between rewards and punishment. Some parents are too liberal with spankings and others won’t even hold it in reserve for the worst of behaviors. New age parenting is incomplete because it only looks at half of the nessisary puzzle to raise your child. If you look at studies previous to the 90s you find that spanking was beneficial, but when the post modernist echo chamber started impacting psychology this flipped to reject all classic knowledge as is a trend with post modernism as a whole.

Seriously, Don’t Spank Your Kids

Why parents should never spank children

PLEASE DON’T SPANK YOUR CHILDREN AND WHAT TO DO INSTEAD

Don’t spank your children. Do these 5 things instead.

And all of these are post 1990. Did you even read what I said, or simply get triggered by my statement so quick you just replied.

The first one explicitly says that its built off 50 years of collected meta data. Soooo.

And Also “This science is too recent” is an interesting methodology. Like…that…isn’t how sociology works. 

also, the main reason nonviolent parenting styles haven’t worked isn’t because you need violence to parent, it’s because the various methods never actually address the problem.

we have this weird idea that consequences are the best deterrent to bad behavior, but that simply isn’t true. If consequences- be it spanking, a time out, losing your video games, going to jail, etc- are the ONLY THING keeping you from doing something bad, you’ll more than likely do it if you think you can get away with it. or, alternatively, you’ll be so afraid of consequences that you’ll be mentally incapacitated at the slightest hint that someone is upset with you, killing your social life and any chance to learn the skills you need to handle that situation.

what actually stops being from misbehaving is understanding WHY they shouldn’t do something. and “my house, my rules” doesn’t cut it as a reason; there needs to be an understandable reason. sometimes it’s an inherent consequence; you can’t put a cookie in the ps2 because then the ps2 breaks and you can’t play video games anymore. sometimes it’s a moral reason; you can’t hit your sister because it hurts her and makes her upset. sometimes it’s a social reason; grandma will think you’re rude if you drop a hard boiled egg in her water glass.

you need to actually talk to your kid and help them understand these things with whatever level of reasoning they have. and if they’re too young to be reasoned with, they’re too young to understand why you’re hurting them.

another issue is that many times, the child does understand why they need to be better, but they’re unable to. bad grades are a huge example of this. getting spanked for a bad grade never made me do better, it just made me cry so hard i choked every time i got anything below a C. it took until highschool, with no help from my parents or teachers, to realize that the reason i was failing was because i had memory problems, and it took another year to figure out how to remember better. if my dad had sat down and taught me some ways to remember better instead of putting me over his knee, i would have been doing much better.

and this may surprise you, but the reason we’re finally understanding that spanking DOESN’T benefit kids is because we’re finally looking at them as people, not pets or property. child psychology is about understanding that this is a human being with all the same capacity for feelings that you have, maybe even more, and not nearly enough resources to express them. children aren’t little monsters that need to be herded and corralled and trained. they’re very tiny, very confused people, and it’s our responsibility to teach them how life works.

Seriously, stop hitting your kids! Just last night I saw a dad smack his daughter(probably no older than 1) on the back of the head because she accidentally knocked a water cup onto the flour. She didn’t understand that, all she knew was she got smashed. Stop fucking hitting your kids.

Spanking your kid for doing something bad Isn’t bad. If you hit your kid for something like spilling water then that’s bad. Displine is needed but abuse is not okay.

This idiot claiming we have to look back before the 90′s for evidence. Have you ever written or read an academic paper? You literally aren’t allowed to use evidence that’s more than 10-15 years old (depending on the area) BECAUSE IT’S OUTDATED AND THINGS CHANGE.

Like damn, we used to think being homosexual was a mental disorder, and if you look at studies from before the 70′s that’s what you’d find but we learned and now know that’s not true.

my parents spanked me as a child when I did bad things (stealing from my brother, hitting my brother, lying to my parents) and they would spank me with a paddle, of course I hated it because it hurt but they never hit me so hard that it left bruises only so it was red. I deserved my punishment, no I was not a bad person but it was a punishment and it told me that this was wrong and that this was the consequence of my choices. After my parents were done spanking me they would tell me that they loved me unconditionally and that they were trying to show me that what I did was wrong. spanking really helped me and I think it was the only thing that would have taught me not to do wrong.

“My parents taught me that I deserved to be hurt, and that the people who loved me hurt me out of love” doesnt sound like a good thing, frankly.

Can someone who’s good at photoshop make the “Stop hitting your child, asshole” panel like 100 times bigger?

My parents also spanked me, but it would escalate to more of “she’s going to hit me because I am horrible/bad for having feelings or using my brain”. And it would go from spanking to hitting me in the face, throwing things at me and so on and so forth. I thought that violence and pain was a result of me being a horrible terrible and inhuman person. I was taught that I was always wrong and should doubt everything I believed I could do because if I didn’t look so far ahead I’ll end up with getting beaten. It’s part of why I blamed my anxiety on my mother. She used to taunt me and my sister with a wooden spoon which she comedically drew a smiley face on and would scream at us waving it around and threatening us. She would make us go get it and bring it to her to get our asses beat with. At the end of the day, it taught me to never question an adult, to always throw my feelings and beliefs to the side, and to allow someone to hurt me no matter.

STOP HITTING YOUR KIDS.

Random Headcanon: Link’s androgyny isn’t just an artefact of the Zelda franchise’s art direction – and neither is it particularly unusual. Sexual dimorphism among Hylians is legitimately much lower than among real-world humans; if Link and Zelda swapped clothes, you’d never be able to tell who was the girl and who was the boy.

Consequently, Hylian society depends heavily on clothing to establish gender roles, to the extent that it’s a severe faux pas to question someone’s gender presentation. If they’re dressed like a girl, then they’re a girl – even if they were dressed like a boy yesterday. That’s why nobody ever remarks upon the fact that Zelda and her heroic alter-ego Sheik are different genders; it’d be gauche at best to bring it up.

Good post op

part of me believes that if you have a weird kink, it’s tolerable as long as it isn’t like… absolutely disgusting/harmful… but then again, i was just contacted by the notorious Deviantart White Bread Fetish guy who wanted me to draw a plump rich blonde blue-eyed white woman with huge titties stuffing her shopping cart full of white bread and i do have to wonder… how much? how much am i willing to tolerate? 

at what point do i just give up?

I’m sorry the who now

there’s a guy who sends artists vague commission requests, and upon the artist asking what he has in mind he proceeds to send a detailed request about rich women shopping in a grocery store full of expensive wonder bread and overflowing their carts with it

i dunno if any of the artists he ropes in know that it’s a fetish thing but i knew right away. upon reading it i was like “waaaaait this sounds like that one guy from DeviantArt that was obsessed with wonder bread” and, lo and behold, 

Okay so I looked on the page and apparently this guy is also very interested in busty white women destroying the environment, specifically with chainsaws

I just realized this guy is probably The Onceler

HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT THE BOTTOM RIGHT IMAGE IS OF A WOMAN WITH A FUCKING WONDER BREAD CHAINSAW

wait a minute isn’t this the guy whos commission was REJECTED BY FUCKING SHADMAN

WHAT

THE PLOT FUCKING THICKENS

What the fuck do you have to ask for to make Shadman back the fuck up?

Hey yeah I actually know this guy, and like, have talked with him.

please share your conversation with him or something like i desire to know what kind of guy he is

He absolutely was not just a normal guy with a weird kink. This shit was his life pretty much.

He had lots of talk about consumerism, slavery, and capitalism and why there were all good things. Almost to the point of a religion to him. He tried talking to me about his commission of a comic of, I believe, Asami cutting down a rainforest and industrializing it, and like weird undertone of loving sandwhiches. Everything he talked about in this aspect came down to sandwhiches with him.

He has spent thousands of dollars if not more on commissions for

Asami abusing Korra

Asami owning a sandwich factory and slave labor

Blonde women own sandwhich factories and cutting down large expanses of forests

And the list goes on to other really strange stuff, but none of it inherently sexual

The only time I’ve known something sexual was his commission for shadman, which was, to the best of my memory, him asking Shadman to draw Korra and Asami abuse porn with like focus on Korra having a limp dick, that’s the most I remember from the screenshots he showed of his conversation with shadman, which he did show off and talk about how unprofessional shadman was for refusing to draw his commission.

The way he fucking talks is just something mind blowing to see a man this far stuck in his own little hole.

On a more dark and serious subject, he has been fired from his job and possibly disowned from his family for this kinda stuff. He talked about assaulting, sexually assaulting, and insulting the race or sexuality of his coworkers. People caught on he was kinda fucked up, and emailed his boss over that stuff and got him fired. I got to watch as he complained about it and the entire forum that he was on talking about it blew up for a good solid 2 hours over how fucked up this guy is for thinking he did nothing wrong, and him insulting everyone. It was absolutely bonkers.

Please do not give Murrlogic commissions, his money isn’t worth being associated with this man. Over all he is a very disgusting person and while it’s fun to point and laugh, he is really not someone who should be given the time of day.

hoooooly fuck that’s like 9 layers of batshit

Shit…. talk about a fuckin rabit hole worth of crazy…

I looked up this murrlogic guy and

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS

stop the ride i want to get off

If it’s enough to scare Shadman away I can’t even look at it
