this is the thing I am the most "back in my day we walked to school both ways uphill in the snow" about. like the internet sucks in a lot of ways now but one thing that's infinitely better than it was in 2000 is that there are so many ways (nested tagging, keywords, alerts, tag filtering, search, mute lists, blocking) to see only stuff you want to look at, and not stuff you don't want to look at. it makes me kind of crazed when people behave like they have no choice but to fixate on harmless shit that grosses them out.

and then insist on showing it to everyone else and demand they be grossed out too

like bruh
you are disseminating the thing at this point

yeah, and encouraging hate watching that kind of stuff is absolutely a marketing strategy that they're picked up on, like the "dumb food" videos

ha ha ha ha ha ha

I've lost count of the number of ace people (myself included) who've found that the part of the brain that should be wired to sex is wired to something else entirely like that one episode of red dwarf where one of the repair droids goes nuts and randomly rewires the ship, leading to an incident where Lister engages the self-destruct system by ordering a milkshake from a vending machine.

Deffo intolerant, not sure if I'd say puritan, tho.

@mitzienscene8/1/2023, 6:43 PM

It's Puritan in the colloquial sense of 'strictly judging other people's pleasures' and 'fearing that a pleasure is bad, not because it's harmful, but because it is shocking or weird' in my opinion.

A non-puritan objection to gore would be more like 'kinky gore encourages violence' or 'gore just isn't sexy, i can't see why it would arouse anyone' rather than 'gore kinks are terrifying'
