In favor of men: when we get angry, people listen. When women get angry, people stop listening.
Against men: men being around children is seen as suspect. Women being around children is seen as healthy.
Or, crazy idea, maybe it's a joke they both find funny?
This is why terminally online people are terminally single. Everything is red flag gaslight abuse break up immediately.
China has state-coordinated schemes to both suppress its own internal population (which may not concern you if you aren't Chinese and never go to China) and to manipulate people globally (which everyone should be concerned about).
While it's true that all countries collect data for the purposes of propaganda, China does so at a scale and with a level of precision and control that pretty much no other country can reach.
You should be trying to limit the amount of data that ANY group gets about you, but some groups will do more nefarious things with it than others. Google for example just wants to advertise to you. Which is bad, I'm not trying to downplay that, just contextualize it. China wants to control every aspect of everything you do. China's capacity to control people outside its own borders is limited, but growing. The more data China gets, the more leverage it has to manipulate, coerce, and control.
It's fucking hilarious when someone named "Gómez" tries to simp for republican nazis.
It's like, honey, you may not be the first one on the train, but they got a seat for you lol
Never, ever, EVER trust ANYONE who says they're doing something "for the safety of children". The war against porn and sex work has been co-opted by christian fascists.
Make no mistake, there is a hysteria around "child trafficking" nowadays, and that hysteria is being harnessed to pass laws that suppress our freedoms. SESTA/FOSTA has put the lives of countless sex workers at risk by forcing them back into the shady world of pimps and back alleys. The Texas ID law is pure government surveillance, and Project 2025 explicitly linked any trans people's mere existence as "pornographic" and thus subject to all anti-porn laws.
Human trafficking is real. Child abuse is real. And it needs to be fought against.
But never EVER trust anyone who goes to the media and starts shouting about "our children". It's a fucking scam, and it's usually making things worse for the people they claim to want to protect.
NCOSE, the organization that co-sponsored Traffickinghub, was previously known as Morality in Media, and used to rail against sex shops, push abstinence education, and once boycotted Disney for offering partner benefits to gay couples. The group’s president, Patrick Trueman, has served at multiple far-right organizations designated as anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Laila founded Traffickinghub while on staff at Exodus Cry, an anti-trafficking organization that describes porn as a public health crisis. Its founder once called homosexuality an “an unspeakable offense to God.” One of its tax filings described a mission of “abolishing sex trafficking and the commercial sex industry,” which would seem to include porn.
Fuck this bitch. Did she help some children? Maybe. But that's not why she did it.
Reminder: in the presidential immunity case, SCOTUS ruled that an "official act" is immune, and only SCOTUS can decide what an "official act" is.
Obviously, this fascist SCOTUS would rule that anything Trump does is official, and anything Biden does is unofficial.
But...if Biden were to take some sort of action that caused a new composition of the court...the new SCOTUS could then rule that action, and any other by Biden, as official.
I think it might be time for Biden to take action.
Yeah Trump spent an hour blatantly lying.
But people believe him.
That's not a win.

It has nothing to do with race, or gender, or whatever bullshit you hide behind for your ego trips. Take your ego out of the equation. Stop thinking "I can improve on this". No, you can't. People love this. Just write this. Stop thinking "oh, this would be so much better if I added--" NOPE. Stop. Even if you're extending the canon, consult the original authors. And if the original authors say "this doesn't really match the tone", then FUCKING REWRITE IT UNTIL IT MATCHES THE TONE.
Jail.
That's the answer.
You'll sleep in jail. Possibly for the rest of your life.
Also the cop will beat the shit out of you now for mouthing off.
Bit of a red flag to call other human beings NPCs imo
Reminds me of this
Fund👏the👏IRS👏
Oh noes they're gonna do investigations and prosecutions? Fuck you, pay your taxes. There is zero moral justification for refusing to properly fund the IRS.
