  • Why when I look up the term "western chauvinist" do propaganda by the Proud Boys show up on nearly every link? I'm not clicking on shit.

  • Why do women wear burkas? Why hijabs? Are burkas a type of hijab? Idk where to read correct information on the topic.

    Edit: Found cool facts:

    What often goes unreported in the media is that Islam has historically championed women's rights. Women were granted the right to own property, choose their spouses, participate in public office, and pursue education—rights that were recognized by Islam long before they were embraced in the West. Islam promotes equality between men and women, abolishing practices like female infanticide and the treatment of women as property in 7th-century Arab society.

    Throughout history, Muslim women have held influential positions as educators, healthcare professionals, warriors, and political leaders. Many Muslim-majority countries have elected women to high leadership roles, including female heads of state—an achievement yet to be realized in the United States.

  • Considering the war crimes committed there included sexual abuse, well, you can draw some conclusions from there.

    You mean the returning Middle Eastern men/women and their torturers all take home the sexual and racial trauma that shapes their sexualities. That's a lot to process out of their systems, possibly for generations.

    In a better world where the bombing of the Middle East stopped decades ago, this would almost certainly still be true. Stereotypes and generational trauma(in this case, sexual) are often intertwined. In that way, I can see how kinks involving both persist.

  • I'm presenting a lot of assumptions here... I thought that that porn was mainly catering to women who wear burkas, so that they have a sexual outlet in their private time. Have I misunderstood who it's catering to? I actually don't know anything about the values of people who wear burkas. Surely it's different for everyone who wears one. Idk what makes the genre offensive because of that, plus I've seen very few videos and felt it's not for me. Do women not wear burkas at all during sex, and is it therefore disrespectful to use it as part of a kink outfit?

    Edit: What I saw is actually called a hijab, not a burka. Idk if burkas go by the same rules but I found a site saying "When Can a Woman Take Off Her Hijab?"

    Women may take off their hijab in a private setting where non-family men are not present. Shared spaces with other women or immediate family members, such as at home, are common places where hijabs are not required.

    The hijab’s purpose is to maintain modesty in public or around strangers, not within private, safe environments.

  • Idk if this is on or off topic, but more taboo fetish videos, and porn in general, needs a beginning section where the porn stars explain in some depth why they've seeked out and want to perform things. How the consent process is drawn out. (Etc...) Like is it just for a money transaction, are they here to confront certain fears, is it something else? I feel it would clear some things up about what the actors need to work out. Then we might have more materialist answers to every taboo kink. Otherwise many people won't address issues in porn. If porn stars are seeking things out that their audience is, it could help porn stars connect and their audience to understand themselves and common themes in society.

    Edit: Someone just told me this would all be nice, but every second of filming costs money due to capitalism, and not every porn star is there to talk about their shit.

    Actually asking. I personally think it means If Palestinians are at threat, we're all at threat. No matter how far the war is from you, if Palestinians are still suffering what they are, the war will spread and come home to you.

    I'm more worried about feeling a little nausea to the point I gag like a cat smelling a strong smelling food. Idk what to say about that. Whether if they're concerned, neutral, or if they're mean. I'm having sensory issues.

  • I'm very self concious about my disability and haven't stayed around a lot of people for over a day since getting it.

    How do you explain that mocking/insulting others for struggling with GI issues(gas, bowel movements, and stomach issues like indigestion, nausea, and vomitting or nearly vomitting) can be ableist at certain extents? How do you respond in general? I have let out a 30 second long fart in private and might often pass gas if I will be around others for a whole day. But I don't want to take the fact that gas(and other GI issues) can be gross and internalize that as me being gross. One of my bodily functions is not me as a whole being gross.

    I guess "Grow up, everybody farts and has GI issues"? Or "Something gross is happening to me, I'm not being gross."

I don't think it's my pronoun, but I want to feel like I could be called "it" if that were truly my pronoun. Who else wishes they could be called "it" if it were their pronoun, but couldn't put up with sticking to that pronoun due to trauma?

    For those who go by "it" confidently, how do you do it?

  • I would not go so far as to say shared political beliefs are orthogonal to being a good friend but there are so, so many things that go into the cocktail of making someone pleasant to be around that I do often wonder whether I drastically overrate the importance of politics in friendships.

    It's different when it's your own etnicity being projected on, and you'te seen as a "neutral/good one" or "a dangerous/evil one" based on if you're racist towards your own race along with them or not.

    I knew a person who seemed okay with the topic of socialism, then they spoke negatively about my people's country. Later they hurt me in a way I won't mention.

    So I drew a boundary. My people have some socialism in their history, so of course we are demonized. I can't afford to be close friends with people who demonize the country of my people because that's evidence they may see me as the "good insert my ethnicity." Especially because I don't want to be at a higher level of risk of being around people who are sexually attracted to me simply because they fetishize my people because they, as evidence, don't fully respect me as a insert my ethnicity person. As someone said about being racistly removed from an event's cast, they "stripped me of my humanity and agency, reducing me to an object onto which others can project their racist fears and smears." I cannot sit there forever waiting to be approved by people close to me. They have racist bully shit to say about my people's country without it being a genuinely open question, I don't want to be super close to them. Although I will always run into and befriend some people who may be racist to me, it is a still a way I don't want to try to turn bullies into close friends.

    I'm so sick and tired of tiptoeing around the topic of my people. I'm not totally sure what other boundaries I need to set. I worry openly saying positive, nonracist things about my people will get me attacked verbally, emotionally, mentally, amd maybe and in other ways.

  • that they know better than the people deemed crazy, and in a huge way as people to be exploited.

    I remember I was having social anxiety while talking with a much older man and his mix-aged crowd of friends that I just met at the park. The topic of age had come up. I mentioned I was insert multiple decades-old. (So keep in mind that this man's behavior, was NOT at all because he was so elderly he mistaked me for a kid. There was a guy around my age who he seemed fully respectful of.)

    Later, he invited me to step away from the crowd sitting in the sun to sit with him and his dog in the shade. I was treating the dog extra nice because he told me it was dying of cancer.

    About 10 minutes later, probably deliberately while he had me isolated from his group, he said, "Have you ever been to the looney bin?" I said, "Why, have you?" because I was wondering if this was a lonely guy who was looking for people to relate to him. He said no, but he knew people who have been 51/50'd.

    So he was plain nosey and felt entitled to know just because he felt I was... something, based on my social anxiety? Idk. Not wanting to give him the satisfaction of a yes or no on something highly not his business, I responded, "That's private."

    Then he immediately starts interrogating me asking "What direction is your house? Where exactly do you live? You're so young and you've been in here in this park for hours." (A park that many people recreationally hang out for hours in.)

    Later on this site, I made a post asking about why he did that. Someone made a good point that some creeps pretend to be saviors as an excuse to creep. Especially on much younger people.

    Anyhow, I feel like this relates to what you're saying. Even though idk all the ways how.

    I'm learning to ask about manipulators, "What is the game thats being played, and what's the purpose of this thing they're presenting?"

    I'd say the game he was playing was pretending he's only interrogating me as a kind favor towards me. And the purpose of this game was to successfully interrogate me for my home address and other personal information. To stalk me in plain sight.

  • One that is confusing is when someone calls another "psycho."

    Like, do they mean psychopath? Or psychotic, as in someone that's in psychosis? Or that someone's angry? Or aggressive? Hyperactively happy? Out of sync with people around them and being a sore thumb? (Etc...) Because there's a big difference between these all.
