  • In Elden Ring lore threads, I've noticed an odd number of men commenting that a team of women assassins slaying golden boy Godwyn must have been difficult for them because of how gorgeous and attractive Godwyn was. That they had to fight their instincts, surely, to slay such a perfect male specimen.

    A lot of men seem to think they're reducing their odds of being assassinated by female contract killers by working out, not to fight off the attack, but to look too attractive for her to kill...

    I blame James Bond movies.

  • I understand and completely agree with every single argument for going vegan.

    And yet I have not.

    And I firmly think it's because I haven't been bullied hard enough into doing so.

  • shame works

    i know bad people use shame, they use it cus it works

  • Someone once told me drinking soy milk would cause me to grow boobs, and I immediately switched to soy milk ... while still not realizing that's not a very cis thing to do.

    It's one of those 10,000 things that make way more sense now. :trans-vegan:
