The article about it is certainly chock way the fuck full of buzzwords, but did little in the way of instilling in me any desire to actually use the thing… Also, where in the fuck are people coming up with these names nowadays? “Mastodon?Nostr?” What cumbersome, awkward bullshit.
It never fails; Whenever I see someone apologizing for their ‘poor English’ it’s almost always essentially flawless (or, at least, better than the majority of native speakers anyway lol)
What kind of projector do you have?
I just don’t see how actually showing me a character’s genitals serves any more of a purpose than perhaps tastefully implying (through cutaways, for example) that the characters are having sex other than pure titillation… And there is clearly a vast sea of content designed specifically for that, so I don’t really care for media that goes out of its way to be graphic if that isn’t its express purpose.
Additionally, to be perfectly honest, I don’t really know how anyone can view a lot of these sex scenes in a positive light post-#metoo movement either. Maybe I’m just an idiot or a prude or something, but I have a lot of difficulty believing that every single nude/sex scene that’s come out of Hollywood has been completely free of some variety of impropriety or, at the very least, coercion. And that by itself is enough to strip away whatever merit you might argue the scene could have.
I haaaate this shit, and have since I was a kid. I actually recently had a discussion with my gf (both of us in our 30s) along these lines, though I more specifically asked her if she could think of a scene in any media in which the story just absolutely could not move forward without one of those stupid, bawdy, explicit sex scenes, and neither of us could think of one.
Dude, I’ve been having the exact same problem for the last few days and have been banging my head against the wall with it too. Thanks for posting this, I’m eagerly awaiting the responses you get

So, shall we start calling this ‘the Reddit Effect?’ We haven’t had anything new to supplant the Streisand Effect for awhile, I feel like something like this is overdue
What the fuck is “tosh”?
