“Age is just a number.”

Here are situations that phrase is meant for:

When your grandpa is feeling really old because he just turned 80.

When you and your partner want to get married but you are both in your 60s and feel that it is too late in life to do that.

When your grandkid tells you that you are too old to be playing LEGO’s

When your judgemental coworker says you are too old to quit your job to start your own business

When your teenager gets embarrassed and says they’re too old to be dropped off at school.

Etc..

The situation where the phrase isn’t okay:

When you are excusing pedos making advances or being in relationships with minors

When someone is grooming a minor with that phrase

Really anything to do with being a creep.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

“In a healthy relationship, your partner hears you out if you’re upset, and their goal is to avoid upsetting you in the future, not to debate whether you should have been upset in the first place.”

fuck.

cat hate is just so…….. embarrassing

people who hate cats for being “cold” or “mean” never learned emotional intelligence or depth and think that love is only expressed by being submissive and unconditionally obedient

What she says: I hate Mineta.

What she means: I hate how a show as robust and compelling and fascinating as Boku No Hero Academia gleefully includes invasive, aggressive, unapologetic sexual perversion and dresses it up in a weak and unmasculine hat so that it seems harmless and forgivable. By making Mineta small and easy to shut-down, his non-consensual harassment of his classmates is allowed to be presented as funny, harmless, and almost charming since it is so apparent Mineta stands no chance of wooing them. All these scenes do is give the audience reason–and worse permission–to sexually objectify the young girls through Mineta’s eyes in a way that’s presented as innocuous. The narrative is happy to lampshade the fact that Mineta’s harassment is bad, and yet chooses to include it anyway, for no other reason than as a wink and a nudge to the audience saying “hey arent these 15 year old girls sexy?” So long as the audience understands Mineta is being “gross” and enjoys seeing him shut-down, then they are free to enjoy his constant invasive harassment with a clear conscience. This tactic is insidious, because it attempts to make itself clownish, harmless, and therefore inoffensive, while perpetuating sexism far more harmful than it’s willing to acknowledge. And I hate the purple grape fucker as a person too.

no seriously. the way the horror franchise portrays these places keeps people from getting help

when in doubt: find someone w/ that illness (who is chill w/ being asked) and ASK THEM
