Yeah they're finally starting to acknowledge that porn addiction is pushed by the church and really just means "I'm not supposed to look at porn bc it's a sin, but I do it anyway so I must be addicted" But the data shows that mental health struggles come from the guilt, not the porn by itself.
Now that's just MCU sequel bait.
The moral of the story is: Don't let people tell you that you can't make art just because you haven't found something that actually interests you in a certain medium. You don't have to like the medium as is; you can do whatever you want with it, so long as you're satisfied with what you made.
Tolkien (and other writers before and after him) would've really only done this as a show for how much they can write about their worlds or concepts, probably because they enjoyed the process more than the product. But Martin, and ESPECIALLY Rowling, are guilty of this.
Like they think they need to make the book longer to show how "good" they are at writing, and that issues of passing will be resolved for movies or shows. Which can create a bad dichotomy where people who read are expected to tolerate it more than filmgoers and the like.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'd like to clarify that my issue isn't poeticism, but it's misuse for padding and ultimately bloating creative works that, half the time, seem like they're anticipating an adaptation to fix their issues.
I don't want to read literature that seems more concerned with the detail of its set pieces and trivial introspections than with its own characters and storytelling.
No one cares to read anymore, not because of some sort of anti-intellectual conspiracy, but because the medium of writing itself has refused time and time again to innovate or streamline the reading process.
There's a shit storm going around on Twitter right now, so I thought I'd like to add to it.
Modern writers don't like reading because the way modern novels are written are incredibly out dated and tendious to go through; From Rowling, to Martin, to even Tolkien.
Do people even know what a nihilist is anymore?
Authoritarianism is never the answer.

I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.
It's not actually about the kids.
-do it.
I'm seriously fucking tired of this bullshit. If you're sitting at home doing nothing and have the time to save millions or even a billion people's lives? Shame on you. We all know what needs happen, and I'm tired of seeing this lack of initiative. You know who you are, you know what you can do-
Iโm going to need smug Europeans who gawk at the brutality happening in America to shut up also bc Iโve seen how yโall treat immigrants. If this was happening on your soil a lot of you would not give a fuck. You too are part of the colonial regime. Europe was racism 1.0 the US is just the upgrade

English playwright who worked on a lot of movies, like "Brazil". I've never seen any of his work, but his transphobia has been on my radar for some time now.
I don't care if you think he "cured" breast cancer, I'm not mourning a "Conservative with a *small* c."
I know I'm a little late to the party (or funeral), but I'm honestly so perplexed as to the constant dick sucking of Stoppard on here. Did everyone just forget he defended JK? Better yet, if his work had such an impact, why is everyone only talking about it now in relation to his death?
Tankies fucking suck. You criticise them once, and then all of a sudden it's about their politics. If you -Support Russia, the CCP, or the DPRK -Do not believe in communitarianism or, at the bare minimum, a direct democracy -Are against Anarchism in general: shut the fuck up, and log off.

This could be quite big re paypro censorship
Reminding all Dutch moots that the state of your country lies on you and your families/friends votes. I don't care what your position on immigration is or how much you hate the moderate party. Geert Wilders' policies (like most policies on immigration) are going to make things worst, not better.
#Neoliberals have taken over the #Demcorats, and we'll never be free of THIS bullshit until we shake ourselves loose.
#Obama himself said he governed like a 1980s #Republican, people.
The establishment Democrats AREN'T ON YOUR SIDE.
They're on the side of money.
I honestly hate drama youtubers so much. Like, do you have such a lack of fun and whimsy that you need to tell me that another content creator I've never heard about/watched is an awful person? Go outside, connect with family/friends, consume a piece of media you like, just shut up.
I fucking HATE limp dick centrists who try to act like calling a Fascist what it is is "name-calling" while also acting as if they're somehow equal to us people who are REALLY suffering, because "we all need to settle our differences." Democracy is such a fucking scam.
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.
