I Found A New, Surprisingly Therapeutic Technique: Wherever I Find Myself Doing Something That Gives

I found a new, surprisingly therapeutic technique: wherever I find myself doing something that gives me the kind of cold rush you really shouldn't get used to, I ask myself, "what would Gary King do?" Then do the opposite.

Seriously, that works. He would drink to stop the thoughts and shame, he would cut himself, he would talk shit about himself in public just to feel like he got to the criticism before everyone else who obviously sees it, he would dig deeper and deeper into things that make him feel utterly doomed, he would try and push off everyone who cares and give up every time it looks like he might succeed, and that ended up landing him at the end of the world with no friends with nothing left to do other than to ride the wave forever, and I cried when I saw that, so why in the world would I do the same? It's... Actually amazing.

(if you can make/get bots, that could actually do a lot more to advance your ideology than posting stuff inside your bubble of faux radicalism. Just saying.)

I love how some of you guys think that engaging with anything Harry Potter related is going to "give jkr more exposure", as if not LITERALLY EVERYONE HAS ALREADY BEEN EXPOSED TO IT, and that making sure you don't pay her any money personally is going to move a single cent away from everything she was already going to put whatever amount of money she was planning to for either way when she's A LITERAL BILLIONER, and then try to cry "collective action" as if that's a battle any of you could ever win in your fucking lifetime, and then NOT try and tell people to mass report far-right influencers with an actual massive reach off of YouTube and TikTok, where their content independently moves towards people who, and this is true, MIGHT HAVE NOT BEEN POLITICALLY ENGAGED SO FAR. The hypocrisy just actually makes my blood boil. You guys don't know what practicality is and I'm starting to think I actually hate you for that.

... Fair enough

we make fun of villains doing big incriminating monologues where they tell the hero their entire plan but to be fair have you ever tried keeping a secret. its torture. if i had some kind of master plan to overthrow earth i'd chomp at the oppertunity to tell someone all about it. validate my effort damn it.

You know what? I'm starting to think that stories about mental illness maybe SHOULD all end on an inspirational, uplifting note.

You see, I was just trying to hold in my mind a model of "even if you fell down, you can get back up, even if your life's a wreck, you can always go and do the work to make it better", just to try and convince myself to maybe not fall apart, and then my brain was just flooded with images of all the stories that ended in suicide (or better yet, heroic self-sacrifice that redeemed them from ever needing to be given a real chance), and I just felt that sinking dread that whispered "it doesn't matter what you do, it's all gonna end the same way... And hopefully sooner rather than later. You can imagine it all going quiet, and dark, and peaceful." And I just... I know you guys hate when the representation you see is just ✨inspiration porn✨, and that it feels good to see all the darkest impulses of your brain recognized and validated, but, like... Maybe they shouldn't be. Maybe we SHOULD have our representation be inspirational and uplifting, even when our reality is not, because representation is not a neutral factor. It affects how people think, and it especially affects how people think when they're spiraling and desperately looking for a frame of reference and you address them directly.

Look, what I'm trying to say is, it's not great when the most encouraging representation I can find is from fix-it-fics that were written by people who were sad that their favorite character didn't make it.

Alright then. Farewell

Let's try again since radfems are stupid.

There is nothing about *looking* at sex that is any morally different to engaging in sex. Adding a camera does not affect morality either. It will not rot your brain or make you an addict or force you to change your views on sex or mess with your brain chemicals and bonds with people or any other bullshit that people come out with. Sex is ok to look at.
