Amphibia (S3, 5 episodes)

It’s difficult to hire and retain really good educators and then dipshits go and pull this kid of shit. Get a fucking life, FFS...

I think I figured out what my ‘issue’ was in a response to AmontilladoWolf (Amouranth Banned From Twitch For Fifth Time, Reasons Unknown (kotaku.com). Not sure if that link works cuz Kinja be Kinja-ing and I didn’t want to just copy/paste my reply but basically I think there’s a distiction between what is ‘pornography’…

I wish Twitch would just make an adult section and be done with all this.

“...and instead just extended with the bits where girls dance around without their shirt and scenes where sex is heavily implied, but not shown, to be happening to fill its entire runtime- Yeah, I’d say that’s softcore porn.”

Sincerely, thanks for the thoughtful response. I guess my main disagreement is that actual R-rated and X-rated films typically, but granted not always, include actual nudity regarding sexual content. Amouranth isn’t nude on Twitch, as suggestive as her streams may be. I dont believe that even her most suggestive…

Im not sure I made a definition myself regarding what is and what isn’t porn other than as a response to your definition. And you keep defining non-hardcore porn as ‘basically porn”. Is it porn or not? And applying a requirement of what is subjectively “a story” seems weird considering hardcore porn has had stories. Ni…

Her being ‘funny and relatable’ and having ‘white knights’ aren’t mutually exclusive. Both of those things can be true.

So I guess rated R films with sexual situations are also considered porn by your definition?

I, too, hate it when you’re forced to click and comment on articles you actively dislike. 

I might be thinking of another show more likely just assumed they were ‘normal’ from the 10 minutes I watched of the show. Thanks for correcting me.

We really should rake our forests, though. Wildfires are starting to be an issue. 

THAT’S NOT SHAILENE WOODLEY?!

Beat Bobby Flay’s concept was hilarious to me. Like, his pompous ass was made to compete against the unwashed masses and, even though I’m sure he was paid well for it, it had to kill him inside a bit doing so. Flay, an accomplished chef, lost to Trish’s from Ohio’s ambrosia salad. 

Ive come way around on Fieri. Even if it’s just for the publicity, he’s done some really good things over the years. 

Rachel Ray allegedly called Giada the “blowjob queen”, so maybe she’s more about relieving sexual tension...?

Other streamers such as Smash Bros. commentator Phil Visu (EEvisu) ribbed more successful streamers for not being more generous with their Twitch earnings.

I’ve lived here my whole life, and most of the common complaints I see online from out-of-state people come from folks that are misinformed or disingenuous.

Isn’t Ted Cruz your Senator? I can’t work out the math with ‘most’ Texans being ‘decent’ and that asshole still getting elected every year. This isn’t a personal attack since I live in California and it’s no paradise here but just wondering. 

I’ve never watched the show and really dont give a shit about it and I would absolutely read that book.
