    I know grammarly would annoy the shit out of me

    I'm locked in an eternal battle with Word's refusal to accept the construction "[comma] however" and its constant insistence that the word "staff" can't be treated as a collective noun, even when it's set to UK English

    The however thing is worth it because your annoyance buys a thousand prevented comma splices.

    1.) make fun of grammarly for being a needless piece of shit that forces bland writing

    2.) read like one single sentence written by the average person

    3.) the government should buy grammarly and force integrate it into every device with a keyboard

    There's nothing ethically fraught about daddy son play or consentual nonconsentual play. I don't even.

    I didn't say ethically fraught, and that's not necessarily what I mean. Psychologically fraught, more like.

    Desires are not neutral or arbitrary. They come from somewhere, and they can come from a bad or unhealthy place. There is enormous resistance to the evaluation of desire because sexual autonomy is still finding its footing, but that doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile or even necessary. The fact that you're indulging a desire in a way that doesn't harm others in an immediate, clear fashion doesn't mean there isn't more to it.

    This doesn't mean the state should have a registry for people who watch weird porn, but I do think people should interrogate their preferences and desires and why they have them, what they mean, etc

    This sounds prudish and judgemental and I don't think people who look at stepsister porn fuck their stepsisters. I also think evaluation of desire has a hard limit and it's actually coercive to ask people to desire and be attracted to things they don't want to be attracted to.

  • Fuzzy Cumulonimbus CloudFuzzy Cumulonimbus Cloud Registered User regular
    I suppose we can evaluate desire when someone only likes very green women or blue men only. But also if that's what they like then so be it.

    As a society we have done a good job understanding, that when it comes to violence, people like to see and role play it for myriad reasons. We don't make a value judgement. Perhaps we are even too permissive here.

    But somehow this attitude has utterly failed to translate to sex in any way whatsoever.

    Yes yes Amia Srinivasan and all that. But like “don’t say daddy” is so far on the mindless judgmentalism end of the pool when it comes to interfacing with other people’s tastes. Oh, you want heterosexual sex to be egalitarian? (And, fyi, this discussion is usually extremely heteronormative). Okay, power to you, but “daddy” is quite a place to train your sights.

    Putting aside bdsm for a moment, the dehumanizing effect of many fetishes gives me a :/ reaction to your post

  • Donkey KongDonkey Kong Putting Nintendo out of business with AI nips Registered User regular
    a lot of the most dehumanizing fetishes are strongly driven by the person in the victim role desiring, very strongly, to be dehumanized. crowded, even, by a glut of people who desire the submissive role.

    Interrogating it doesn't mean coercing change in desire. But if someone says "I'm just not attracted to black people," there's no way that's just fine and dandy. That comes from a place of racism, necessarily, regardless of that person's politics. You can't and don't want to force them to date someone, obviously, but that's not the goal; the goal is for that person to realize that it isn't a matter of neutral taste, that their desire is a product of their experiences and social forces, that it might reveal other issues with their segregation from racialized people or their perspectives on race.

    It's also not as simple as "people who watch stepsister porn want to fuck their stepsisters." There are definitely some people who do, but there are probably far more who don't (maybe, who knows); the question is why they like that particular thing, why that thing is so explosively popular, and whether those answers are cause for concern. Because they can be! We don't have to coerce people or tread on their liberties to examine their desires, or our own, nor is that examination impossible.

    Stepsibling porn is weird but it's not worrisome in the way that e.g. the comments on and engagement with and popularity of brutal nonconsent porn (even with consenting actors who are in positions of security and power, when such a thing is possible). Desiring that definitely doesn't make you e.g. a misogynist; that's super reductive. But there sure are a lot of misogynists who love it.

    For most Americans, there are two main choices after death: burial or cremation. But now people in Washington State have a third legal option: They can have their bodies turned into soil.

    Gov. Jay Inslee signed legislation on Wednesday allowing the practice of “aboveground decomposition,” making Washington the first state in the nation — and likely the first place in the world, legal experts said — to explicitly allow human remains to become compost.
    The bodies decomposed after about four weeks, the researchers said, producing about one cubic yard of soil per person.
    The two traditional means of disposing of human remains come with drawbacks. Burial takes up land, which is increasingly scarce in cities. And cremation, which recently surpassed burial as the most popular choice for disposing of human remains, produces significant greenhouse gases.

    Hot take: both are objectively equally uncomfortable, except for society being less accepting of women taking a dominant sexual role

    you can't be objectively uncomfortable

    I thought the bacteria from human bodies decomposing made it unsuitable for use in gardening?

    I suppose they could carefully sterilize it after the body is done breaking down

    Sexual racism is very obviously real but surely there are also visceral and emotional components that dictate we can't cajole people into liking things they don't want to like. Is sexual kink and desire mutable enough that people could sit and interrogate themselves into liking something completely different? I am not sure it can be done or that it is a good thing to do so.

    Also a core component of fetish is that it's forbidden or weird or transgressive. I do understand what you are saying but I feel like you are arguing for the mental version of bubble porn.

  • OrganichuOrganichu poops peesRegistered User, Moderator mod
    Do the bodies decompose in a controlled environment? I thought open air decomposition had epidemiological implications. Like, that it drove disease in eg sieges, where the starved corpses overwhelmed burial capacity

    I guess close proximity is a difference
