it's annoying how often the progressive response to the topic of inceldom (and misogynistic RW violence as a whole) ends up capitulating to vacuous, aimless encouragement for compassion and self-help. it's so obtuse that it may as well be intentional ploy to further their cause. right wingers are not selling disaffected misogynists a community or a form of self-help, they are nourishing an existing ideology. an ideology that many of these men already see the benefits of in their day to day via the continued existence of patriarchy. a misogynist proclaiming that women's rights have displaced men is stating, in plain terms, that men must consolidate power once more by dominating women. it is not a mere naive and clueless expression of one's alienated social standing. the /ourguy/ shit that allegedly connects these guys exposes itself as entirely superficial when you look at how quickly figureheads and affiliates are dropped for showing weakness. compassion and kindness is something that you can exert, but to actually change someone you need to crush their poisoned ideas about social order that empower them to act as they do. "how do we make leftism more appealing to young men?" beyond being a ridiculous question is an attempt to infuse patriarchal domination into leftist politic by framing politics as lifestyle.
most people tend to see how sheepish the cries for "be kinder, they're struggling" are, but it's near rote repetition when the subject of The Lonely Misogynist come up is nauseating. it's practically asking people (namely women) to forgo the sense that keeps them safe and alive by refusing to call this behaviour out for what it is. what if we extended this much good will to terfs? who by comparison are much more vocal about sustained sexual and interpersonal violence than incels are about the loneliness that many allege they suffer? it would be ridiculous, because they are ultimately weaponizing perceived innocence and victimhood to harm others while advocating for more streamlined systematized violence. as all right wing types do.

Jaime lannister has the wet energy that is sooooo different from Marius's. Jaime L cannot be Marius. Ncw ❌
unfortunately I DID say I was going to die on this hill so you’re just provoking me to post more about it. I do agree with you that Jaime is very unlike Marius as a character but Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is a skilled actor who can play a range of roles! And also, this is strictly aesthetic for me. I did say, after all, it was a good face!
let’s look at it again!
This one reminds me me of when Armand axes down the door :
I went upstairs and heaved the battle-ax at the door. Of course it went through the brittle wood, shattering the painted panel, cracking through the old lacquer and the pretty yellow and red roses. I pulled it back and smashed it into the door again.
This time the lock was broken. I kicked the shattered frame with my foot and it fell back.
In utter amazement he sat in his large dark oak chair looking at me, his hands clutching the two lion's head arms. Behind him loomed the massive bed with its rich red baldaquin trimmed in gold.
"How dare you!" he said.
look at that face and also the horny ankle cleavage
🚨 ALSO BONUS DRUID KIDNAPPING 🚨
😌🙏

wakey wakey au I'm curious about the lords' mbti
I took that test a long while back (school) and I recall it being very long, stressing (statements and answers) , and later learning that its not particularly accurate (in like a "bullshit pseudoscience" kind of way, not a fun way.)
So I'd rather not fill it out 4 times 🥱

have decided that I will not be reducing people to their current life phase, relationship status, religious affiliation, age, or any other exterior trapping. you are a person. I care about you. that's basically it. this is how I'm going to see the world from now on.
