then i guess you haven't read many karkats. honestly, this is the stupidest post i've ever read.

oh poop :(

Me! I've played her for a whole 5 comments!

"women can be as irresponsible as they want and must be free of fault and consequences!"

What is irresponsible about dressing "slutty" or having sex with protection, anon?

Oh. You're actually in the "everything is women's fault including men's inability of self control!" camp but want to pretend you're not, gotcha.

you should probably go to tumblr then honestly if your skin isn't thick enough for a bit of ~judging~ from random strangers

People like you are the reason this sort of roleplay is the cesspool it is now. Way to miss the point, troll.

this comment made me think immediately of

Those aren't extremes, anon. It's one extreme ("everything is women's fault including men's inability of self control!") and one perfectly rational opinion ("Women should be able to dress how they want and have as much sex as they want as long as it's consentual and safe sex is applied")

You're doing the typical asshole tactic by pretending two points are equally bad, and that we need to find a middle, except the "middle" would already be an extreme point in reality.

If A wants to live their life without you fucking around with it, and you do want to fuck with their life, then the middle ground isn't you fucking with their life only sometimes.

The middle ground is A living their life without you fucking around with it, and you pulling up your panties so they aren't in a twist anymore, and learning to deal with it.

'kay so I know people whine about apping characters into panfandom games and then not tagging outside of their casts

but why the fuck would you app into a panfandom game and only tag THREE CHARACTERS RELIABLY

jesus christ and critting didn't help. droppin' threads like always.

I don't get this, when it comes to the Pokemon species, because you'd think keeping the in-no-way-intuitive-to-a-non-Japanese-speaker Japanese names straight would be just as much of a chore for them, but I guess some people will go to great lengths to be cool and deny the goofiness of Pokemon names by only acknowledging the ones that are goofy in ways they don't understand.

Doing it wrt the humans makes a little more sense I guess since every single generation except for V takes place in Japan yet we inexplicably have people named "Candice" and "Ethan" running around, which is so not anime!! but I still can't be fucked to do that shit.

both were made in meta text making them both ooc comments
how did you not get that from the brackets around [comes with age]

theyre my hero i will murder you

like literally youre headedforstabbing

i lol'd

I agree! People should arm themselves with knowledge and conduct themselves responsibly in sexual matters. Of course, that should be facilitated by the government with policies that allow everyone easy access to sexual education and contraceptives.

spent ages being super frustrated that I got talked into playing a Brotherhood character and ended up with nothing to do after a month or so

also every time players shot down plots like GOD ALL THIS DRAMA I JUST WANT MAKEOUTS

I loved that game a lot but fucking hell was it a nightmare sometimes

When did I say dressing in revealing clothes or having sex with protection is irresponsible? Having safe sex is something people should insist on.

An example of what I find is irresponsible is when a woman piles up risk after risk:
- getting yourself intoxicated
& or taking drinks/pills whose contents you can't vet,
& in presence of a lot of strangers, some or most also intoxicated (which does affect their self-control) and whose moral qualities are unknown,
& in chaotic atmosphere with cultural elements (like music, lyrics) that encourages people to "let loose",
& without a reliable buddy system,
& without physical strength or self-defense skill (which are not even almost effective, including when sober),
all of which exacerbates their own vulnerability.

Is it wrong to want to have fun? Surely not. But survival skills tend to involve being careful in what you're getting into, be it a party, a boyband meet & greet, a sea, a mountain, a heavy-machinery factory, the business world, busy traffic, the stock market, etc. Against something that many women see as a more serious calamity than losing a wallet or even a finger joint, is it worth it to put yourself in that much risk, especially knowing thousands of years of human history? This is what I don't understand, and I can't rationally applaud that way of adding to our already vulnerable position as something advisable. Doesn't mean if someone in that situation should be further vilified if they fall victim, but at that point, how much of a remedy would help? There's only firefighting to be done. Would executing the rapist, hypothetically, help?

There is much work needed to peel rape culture away from people, especially people in position of power. I just don't believe it could be achieved by putting forth the message of, like in the picture above, I WILL DO ANYTHING I WANT RIGHT NOW AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT (EVEN THOUGH I REALISTICALLY KNOW THERE IS) as a priority. Especially since most rapes don't even happen in that setting, but at daytime in places you think is 'safe', with a high percentage of abusers being relatives, or someone with power over the victim like a teacher or an employer. It just feels like the focus is not placed in the bigger problem: How do we change the mentality of all women as public property long before rape happens?

Sexual education, early childhood education, empowering women economically, neighbourhood cohesion, scrutinizing and monitoring the justice system, putting people with good views in political offices, building people's confidence to call out rape culture behaviors as something socially unacceptable to the face of the perpetrators... I believe in those. Otherwise it'll just be a security that is given, and can be taken anytime, no matter how much yelling and firefighting is done.

Applying safe sex is a responsibility. Not everyone does it. Not everyone is aware of it.
Deciding how much sex one wants and can afford to have is a responsibility.
Having a plan on how to handle the aftermath of sex is a responsibility.
Sometimes, even after taking responsibility, things don't go our way. But a failure to plan is a plan to fail.

Everyone wants to live their life without anyone fucking around with it.
Unfortunately, some people want to fuck around with people live no matter what.
The goal is to minimize the fucking around that happens, systemically, while allowing people to live their life comfortably.
Honor system never works in a large scale. Expecting everyone everywhere with power, any kind of power, to never abuse it is dreaming. Thousands of years of human history demonstrate that.
Attain that power and make fuckers deal with it, but at the same time bear with it (or in other words, live acknowledging fucking around happens and work around it) while the culture is evolving
That's my realistic "middle ground".

because sometimes that's just how shit goes ok

get the fuck over it, some people will be thread droppers or smallpool taggers no matter what you do

hi murder

I've reached a point where I'm just going to unfollow anyone replurking that longest fucking plurk trail thing.

You're all idiots, and I hope you all get hardcore mutilation porn burned into your monitors.

my main game had a really good one, but she had to drop.
