  • Andor spoilers, relationship violence,

    Okay so everyone made a big deal about that scene in Andor where Syril abuses Deedra, but like… she is killing a planet and gaslighting him, and he chokes her. I don’t want to minimize relationship violence, but she has a body count larger than Hitler at this point and she has been lying to him for their entire relationship and she orders his arrest and firing upon a crowd she knows he’s in. How the hell is the shocking bit his choking. Obviously that’s bad, but he just found out she ordered genocide. Maybe I’m not neurotypical enough for this, but I think people are doing that thing where we act like direct acts that violate social norms are in a totally different and worse category than objectively more harmful acts that fit within societal norms and expectations.







  • I’ve noticed this rhetoric, that porn addiction isn’t a thing, multiple times here lately. i don’t quite get it,

    You’ve noticed people pointing out the fact that the current rhetoric surrounding porn addiction was literally cooked up by evangelicals and mormons as a way to be puritanical weirdos. Because that is just the truth.

    If you’re older than 15 you saw it happen in real time in the media, you can’t pretend it didn’t happen.

    I guess this is what I’m going to be posting about today. Defending porn. I’m not even that big a consumer of porn. I just don’t think we should be literally repeating stuff the mormon church and evangelical republican politicians are saying.
