!fellas Who didn't do this

Just a daily reminder that social media isn't real, and even the most picture perfect couples aren't thriving like you may think…

I kinda want to get this off my chest, but I have a beautiful mutual friend, she's absolutely stunning, and has the most perfect blissful smile I ever seen. Not only is she just beautiful, but so is her personality, but just a sweet utterly lit lantern in a night sky type of soul.

Mutual friend has a boyfriend, and boyfriend (ick, in my opinion) has “Tik Tok Clout”. Boyfriend let‘s call him Jason, tends to have a decent following on Tik Tok, about over 200,000. Cause of it, Jason gets a lot of validation from girls online, young or old, it's in between. That validation is never enough for him, because he still obsesses over himself, and thinks he's a movie star, when in reality (tbh, I don't understand the appeal) is anything far from charming.

Now Jason likes to hold up an image, his Instagram has not only photos admiring himself, but obviously some with his stunning girlfriend. These are the most happy, lovey dovey couple photos you'd ever lay your eyes on. You got the vacation pics, you got the cheesy adoration cuddling partner videos, big smiles, literally you'd think they're the “perfect” couple, romance isn't dead life breathers. Comments of her saying “I love you” in the post replies.

The reality? ….

Jason is your typical jerk, and cheats on her repeatedly, and even his girl best friend he grew up with (prior her)… He cheated on, was abusive and downright cruel. And he's far too old for his stunning girlfriend, who he met at 17, she's about 20 now, he's ~25.

You'd never know this, though, unless you knew Jason, cause men talk closely to one another and reveal their cruel intentions amongst each other.

What you see on social media, is almost never real, despite what people try to convince you. Sometimes we compare ourselves, but don‘t ever do so, it's an illusion.

It apparently started when SNOY started mandating linking PSN accounts to steam/PC version of the game

/r/PCGaming: Helldivers 2 to require linking Steam account to a Playstation account starting on May 6th. It was previously optional due to technical issues at launch

/r/Games : HELLDIVERS 2 Account Linking Update

The revolution begins

Aftermath:

/r/steam : Helldivers 2 went from one of the most beloved Steam games to one of the most hated pretty quickly

PCGaming :

• Helldivers 2 received over 14,000 negative reviews today due to an update that will require PSN accounts next week.

• Helldivers 2 has now received 84,000 negative reviews in the past day.

Apparently some countries can't create PSN accounts like Sri Lanka and they can't play the game they bought now because they can't create a PSN account

Nope! Acknowledgement of and making fun of racism is not in and of itself racist. Thanks for asking, and I'm glad I could clear that up! (-274)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔘🔘

Mocking white people and asserting that white people often secretly have malicious racist motives, is racist though. Glad I could clear that up! (186)

Earnestly implying that white people often have hidden racist biases <----Not racist.Earnestly saying that all white people always have hidden racist motives <---- Kinda racist.My comic does the former, not the latter. Glad I could clear that up! (-202)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Really drew out the Not-Alls with this one, huh?For those of y'all who have your head in your butt, this obviously isn't about all white people because idk if you knew this, but not all white people are racist (though you could argue whether they continue to benefit from systemic racism). This also isn't about all racism, either. No shit people of every race are racist. This is about covert racism that you see a lot in environments where racists are taught that open racism is wrong, but don't internalize why it's wrong. They change how they refer to people because, oh god, they don't want the negative consequences, but they don't change the attitudes or beliefs behind them. It's like those stupid slur-baiting “Who was in Paris?” memes. People understand that they shouldn't say slurs but god darn do they want to. And obviously this is a behavior mostly seen in middle class white Americans because they get decent education but still have parents/grandparents who're still salty about de... (-1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

The amount of people in the comments saying “I can't believe OP hates all white people” or “this is just as racist as if it said ‘black people'” is pretty pathetic. Yes, generalisations are bad, but when you have an institutionalised system of racism, then the outcome is generally the “dominant” race in that system being racist (with varying intensity/intent). That said, this post is about those racist things said by racist white people, not literally all white people. Also I'm not super educated on the topic but I'm hesitant to say racism against white people (at least in country's like America) exist (-24)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Subtitle: I want to draw a line in the sand between their racism and whatever forms of racism I participate in so I can feel good about myself rather than do the continual work of being introspective to actively deprogram the racism that I have been and continue to be taught. (-38)

Y'all downvoting but this is right. White people as a cultural group still set the standards of representation for our culture. Which means it's important not to associate with the racists by being offended on behalf of the people who claim to represent you.This is the man/bear question all over again. Yes it's not fair you have to be associated with these people. But being offended shows which side you're showing empathy towards. It's a messy topic and that means there's messy lines.These perspectives are not about painting with a wide brush. They're about sharing how the problem is still so endemic that from the perspectives of non-white people are experiencing so much racism that there's no way to talk about individuals only.It's not "all white people are racists".It's "white culture still has so much racism embedded in it".It's a subtle difference but a massive change in perspective if you think about it that way.

A fricking Message To Voyeurs of the fricking Naked Run

Don't post videos of the fricking naked run on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, social medias. This is fricking unconsensual and unkind.

Instead of watching, join and run. Unless you're actually studying… then I suppose you don't have much of an option here. The fricking intention of the fricking naked run is not fricking oggle, but to bond with your peers and decompress.

Nudity is not fricking inherently sexual. Don't sexualize people without their consent.

Note to the fricking runners, you may want to consider covering your face or wearing lingerie/undies if you are fricking concerned about privacy or getting filmed. Unfortunately, some people just don't respect common sense, politeness and/or boundaries.

Be safe, and good luck on finals, motherlover!

Grooming with Adults

it's come to my attention that this place is nothing but an echo chamber for some negative opinions. i've seen fellow members defend blatant child abuse and predatory behavior. the most recent example of this type of thing is on a post of a 24 year old asking if she was being groomed. people kept insulting her and anyone who said that it's possible. they made the claims that “adults can't be groomed” and “once you turn 20, it becomes a personal decision.”

so let me explain what grooming is…

grooming can happen when there is a power differential within a relationship, which the abuser exploits for their own gratification. this is most commonly recognised as a tactic used by perpetrators of child sexual abuse, both on children and parents. however, adults can also be groomed.

if you believe that just because someone is an adult, that they are “allowing themselves” to be put through this, maybe it's time to look inward and find out what's causing you to be so ignorant. grooming doesn't magically stop when you turn 18, 25, or even 50.

i already know what the comments are going to look like and i'm prepared to handle all of it like an adult. if you're going to create a strawman argument, at least be original or unique about it.

ad hominem all you like, but insulting someone for speaking the truth just makes you look like an butt.
