At this point the only people who’re Pewdiepie stans are passively racist.
Like that was obvious to people in the know that being anti-Semitic for shock humor isn’t satire, it’s just anti-semitism. But that situation is somehow so abstract for some people that they can make the logical leaps to call it “satire.”
But you can’t tell me some white dude who when in a “heated gaming moment” shouts racial slurs doesn’t have some deep seeded racism.
From a Linguistics perspective, people don’t just “accidentally” drop language. When you swear, or let slip a turn of phrase in that heat of the moment, you’re still relying on your existing vocab. Because it’s so instant your brain doesn’t have time to think twice, it will grab something familiar.
I’d bet money on him having used that word before offline. If you never use the N word then, unless you have Tourette’s or something, it’s hardly going to be the first word that jumps into your head and rolls off your tongue when you lose your temper.

was cruisin my tl & this is so fucking important
i think the moment i was disillusioned about life was when i was maybe 7 years old and realized the reason all my friends had become assholes was because boys aren’t allowed to have any physcial contact that isn’t fighting
my parents were hippie feminists so my brother and i could play clapping games and sleep in puppy piles and give each other weird hairdos, but all the ‘normal’ boys just up and stopped knowing how to touch anyone without hitting sometime between kindergarten and first grade
and my little kid mind briefly saw the vastness of life stretching out in front of all of us, and all the hugs everyone would need and not get, and for a moment i was just like
maybe life is not such a good idea after all
I grew up around a Russian ballet school. Let me tell you something about Russian men: They touch each other. Especially dancers, who are in my experience almost always super tactile people. They rough house like Americans, but they also hug each other, and sit on each other’s laps, and share blankets when it’s cold backstage.
So I grew up knowing full well that the whole Men Don’t Touch thing was puritanical bullshit.
What I was absolutely not prepared for, however, is the super intense effect it has on straight men’s romantic relationships.
Because when you are literally the only person it is okay for your boyfriend to touch, Jesus fucking Christ, that changes the game.
I strongly suspect that a lot of Str8 Dude feelings of entitlement to women’s bodies, particularly the bodies of their wives and girlfriends, is a direct result of those women being the only non-violent physical contact they’re allowed to have.
I know for certain that the framing of any and all platonic physical contact as un-manly has been directly responsible for a lot of sexual dysfunction (and then the attendant misery of trying to get that treated at the ripe old age of 22) with at least one of my exes. It’s a mess when you can’t get it up because you’re depressed and want to be held but you’ve been brainwashed into thinking what you actually want is sex because being held is for girls.
Amazing how the erectile dysfunction went completely away when he learned the difference between feeling horny and feeling cuddly. /sarcasm

No wonder the worst of them seem crazy… profound isolation does exactly that
When I taught in Japan, the boys were all super comfortable with each other. They’d sit on laps and hug and roughhouse and it wasn’t seen as bad ? Like it surprised me at first, but then you realize the problem is with so many men feeling that they have to prove… something? I dunno. I personally don’t like hugs or touches, but that is my own personal reasons and nothing of how I was brought up.

Hey Brett why does this sound like a bioshock audio log
It be like that sometimes
baffling how much of this site is just conservative protestantism with a gay hat
you know what i’m in just enough of a bad mood that i’m ready to nail my grievances to the church door so let’s fucking go
- black and white morality wherein anyone who doesn’t believe/think/live exactly as I do is
a dirty sinnerProblematic and probably a predatory monster- everyone is
a sinnerProblematic buttrue believerspeople who activist the right way according to my worldview are still better than everyone else, and I will act in accordance to this belief in my own superiority to let everyone else know I’m better than them because Ifound Jesusam the most woke- casual and fucking omnipresent equations of womanhood with softness/goodness/purity/nurturing to remind every woman who isn’t/doesn’t want to be any of those things that they’re doing it wrong
- aggressive desexualization (particularly of women’s sexuality, to the point where it may as well not exist at all) accompanied by pastels [not a criticism directed ace ppl having a right to sex-free content and spaces but specifically targeted at a wider problem resulting from the previous point]
- YOU’RE VALID AND JESUS LOVES YOU and neither of these platitudes achieves a goddamn thing
- historical context is for people who care about nuance and we don’t have time for either (see: black and white morality)
- lots of slogans and quotes and nice little soundbites to memorize but does anybody actually study the source material with a critical eye to make their own informed analysis
- the answer is no
- I’ve been to bible study groups don’t @ me I know what the fuck I’m talking about
Good Christians™Nice Gays™don’t fraternize with/let themselves be influenced by
non-Christiansthose terrible queers- all the media one consumes must be ideologically pure or it will surely harm the children
- it is Our Sacred Duty to protect the children from Everything, thus ensuring their innocence/purity/etc until such time as they are idk probably 25 years old
- literally just “think of the children” moral panic y’all can fuckin miss me with that
- people who don’t conform to the dominant thinking WILL be excommunicated/driven from the social group, and any wrong treatment they suffer will be seen as a justified consequence of their wrong thinking

Thank you for breaking it down like that because so many of us have been saying it but to see a play by play breakdown comparison is just…Thank you.
Well this is amazing.
My dad kissing his friend in 1981
I applaud👏🏾👏🏾. Those woman basically looked death in the face and chose to fight. Such bravery needs to be remembered.
Nothing but the upmost respect for her.
“When you jail, we jail too”
This is the realist shit I have seen all day
the sexual tension between you and the other bearded guy reaching for the same carton of organic free range eggs
you lock eyes
“you go ahead” what the hell did you say that for? that’s the last carton
you study him as he reaches for the eggs and you can tell he works out, you think 3 maybe 4 times a week
you notice his college lanyard. a student? you look up and see his wrinkled brow no a professor
“thanks i owe you i would have had an earful from my wife if i didn’t grab these” he chuckles as he puts the eggs in his cart
his wife? why do you care
you open your mouth to reply but you stutter
“y yea no problem m man” what the hell what are you so nervous for?
op please keep going
Op Please
