      Embracing it is what made Eminence in Shadow so unironically fun to watch instead of just being edgy cringe

    CW: sexual content

    I honestly don’t know what kink I was venting when I came up with the idea of vending machines selling disposable fleshlights disguised as knock-off soda cans, complete with public health messages in place of the list of ingredients; where the idea is that after you nut in the can you can close it back up and then put it in a reverse vending machine to get sorted and sent to some sperm bank for use in IVF, epidemiology, medical research, demographics, and forensics

    Like, that definitely feels like the sort of thing that would come from a kink, yet at the same time I do not think there is a single soul on Earth who finds the idea of nutting in a Mr. Peter and putting it in a TOMRA machine to be at all arousing

            Do you really need it explained to you how being part of a group does not preclude one from being prejudiced or biased against that group, or from perpetuating harmful attitudes about it? It’s not like discussions of things like self-fetishization or self-hatred are new to “oriental” communities, “self-orientalism” is literally already a widely used term with nearly four million results on Google.

            Hell, you literally struck through the words “probably in Japan” in the removed comment, that’s basically the Internet equivalent of “I’m just saying what we’re all thinking” — so I’m sure you already know on some level that “weird Japan” articles showing off things like used schoolgirl panty vending machines are basically just written for westerners to gawk at how “bizarre, hypersexual and loose in morals” their platonic ideal of the “far east” is.

                Well, I’m not going to talk if you don’t want to listen, so maybe you want to schedule a tribunal with a jury of your peers first… [pops some Vicodin sassy style] [grabs a superfluous cane and gets up] [goes to leave the room] [walks right into the glass door] [opens the door] [leaves the room] [closes the door behind self] [walks off into the distance while rubbing forehead]

                  You’re in for a bad time because my Korean peers are going to make my remarks seem as good natured as the Scots making fun of Welsh in comparison to the wild shit they’ll say about the Japanese

        OK, TrashGoblin finds the idea of nutting in a Mr. Peter and putting it in a TOMRA machine to be arousing, more power to him

      I do not think there is a single soul on Earth who finds [literally anything] to be at all arousing

      This is just an objectively incorrect statement

    A sci-fi setting where a comparatively minor planet overthrows its monarchy and becomes a nascent socialist project. It is immediately beset by other major powers in the solar system and wrestles with building socialism and also the military. Eventually, it is overwhelmed by reactionary forces and the revolution is overthrown.

    I like exploring how shared trauma affects people differently so it’s a more character-focused story. The main characters are former socialist military who struggle to adapt to the political reality post-reaction. Some try to fade into society, some still believe in the cause, others join the reactionary forces. Former friends set against one another.

    Oh and the characters are anthropomorphic fly-boy pilots with sexy well-designed flight suits. There’s also some weird consciousness enmeshing technology that I’m still fleshing out.

    Choose these:

    1. Dominant fish women

    2. Killing fascists with your comrades

    3. Communism with a focus on intersectionality

    Best possible combination ✨

    I like how the Disco Elysium writers did historical materialism in the world building. There’s the central conflict over the strike that sets the stage for the murder and Harry’s story, then you have the revolution/civil war and the coalition airships hovering in the background enforcing the counter-revolutionary order. So class struggle is at the root of everything else in that world. It’s like you can decide you want to tell a story rooted in a particular class conflict, then the dialectics of the class conflict help you elaborate the rest of the world, it’s an interesting approach.
