Huh? What happened to desire demons?

So it looks like Obsidian asked the guy if he wanted to change the epitaph, they didn’t force him to do anything.

If somebody’s BMI is less than 18, this bill clearly bans them from working in the fashion industry. That’s kind of the entire point of the bill. It’s even the title of this article, “France moves to BAN ultra thin models and pro-anorexia”

Promoting suicide shouldn’t be illegal either. There needs to be a line between “I don’t want this to happen” and “There should be a law against this”.

For me, this falls under the banner of “I may disagree with what you say, But I will fight to the death for your right to say it”. It’s one thing for the government to come out in support or denouncement of a position like smoking of anorexia, but what they’ve done here is criminalize any public opposition to their…

The nice thing about the US is that our freedom of speech is treated as a more or less absolute. There is almost nothing the government can stop you from saying, showing,or wearing, and any attempt to add to that list is met with outrage from both sides of the political spectrum. In places like France, freedom of…

Call me optimistic if you want, but there’s a line in the first article about how the man they were calling “Insect Humming” was actually named “Ben Johnson”, and had no idea who “Insect Humming” is. So maybe they were trying to make fun of people who automatically think all Native Americans have names like “Flying…

To be fair, pretty much nobody knows what it’s like to be middle class anymore.

That’s never been a thing. Schadenfreude has always simply been pleasure derived from somebody else’s pain. It’s the dictionary definition: “pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune.”

I know motherless used to be a big thing, but their major draw was the complete lack of moderation. Once they got cleaned up, interest dropped a bit.

But did that make us more morally opposed to sex? We weren't tought it was wrong, or bad, or even not to do it. We were correctly tought that if we do it without protection, it is dangerous.

and for those of us growing up then

I don't know your age, but I'm pretty sure I was surprised you were a millennial too. I always thought millenials were born in the late 80's, 90's and early 00's, not the early 80's

The Public Religion Research Institute just released a broad survey they conducted among 2,314 adults born between 1980 and 1997

It's Gen X.

This is stupid. Everyone always talks about the wage gap as if it's a straight reduction in salary based on whether or not you have boobs. Like I offer prospective men $X to work for me, and women ~$75% of X, and consequently, fixing the wage gap is as simple as telling me "You can't do that. You have to offer…

It depends on the dude. If a male character is sexy, and is placed in a situation where his shirt comes off, it's not unreasonable to call that fan service, and say he's being sexualized. Same for female characters. The only real difference is that we consider a much wider range of females sexy than males.

Seriously? Do a quick google search for "shirtless men", and just try to tell me the results aren't sexualized. No, shirtless men are not 100% sexual, but yes, good looking, fit, athletic shirtless men are totally sexual.

Then why did Solid and Liquid snake take their shirts off? It had no plot or story relevance. It wasn't practical or smart. The only reason that scene was included was so the fan girls could fangirl all over sexy shirtless men.
