discussion If you were the founder of a new world religion, what would God ask you to preach?
sugarysunflower posted a topic in The Lounge
It's your burning bush / cave / river bathing story moment in meeting with God. They tell you you're the new vessel to spread the words and teaching of the new God's religion. What would you do? And / or what principles would your God look for people to strive for? -

discussion Are terms like "Unalive" and "Grape" cringe and stupid?
Space Cowboy posted a topic in The Lounge
I've noticed more and more people using words like "unalive" instead of "dead, kill, suicide" and "grape" instead of "rape" Is it just me, or does this feel weird and extra cringe? I get that these terms started as a way to avoid triggering content filters online, but now some people use them in normal conversation, like face-to-face or in casual chats or forums like reddit or this one, where content filters are not an issue. Am I being too sensitive, or does this come off as infantilizing and awkward? What are your thoughts? -

discussion Bi members, are same sex relationships less complicated?
TedLasso posted a topic in The Lounge
Based on my small experience, it seems like there's a lot more focus on being "good enough" for a woman as a guy. It's not even just a feeling, I've had people tell me to my face that I'd be lucky to have a girlfriend like XYZ or girls tell me to be more deserving of their time. I'm all for people knowing their worth, but it I've never been belittled like that by a guy. Is this a common thing, or do I just suck at finding good female partners? -
discussion Guy gets destroyed on X after video (34M views) shows him failing to lift his gf
MoonGoodandHappy posted a topic in The Lounge
Scrolling through the quote tweets of this viral video is genuinely disturbing. A man simply showing he can't lift his girlfriend has turned into a massive hate fest. People are calling him 'pathetic', 'not a real man', questioning his masculinity, suggesting his GF will leave him, saying he should be ashamed... The toxicity is insane. I'm so proud to be gay. Thank you Britney and Gaga. -

*atmospheric orchestral music* Reveal hidden contents THIS IS THE MANIFESTO OF MOTHER RANDOLPHSTER: On YouTube, a Google-owned entity on the Internet, a birth of magnificent and magical proportions took place. "Beyond the Trailer" was borne from an act of God. A @boxoffice analysis and review channel by the people, for the people. But the birth was not finite, it was infinite. As the YouTube subscribers numbered and the mitosis of ATRL memberships began, it was perceived that this infamous channel is not temporal, it is eternal. And thus, on October 28th 2019, began the beginning of a new race; a race of Grace stans within the race of humanity; a race of Grace's followers which bear no prejudice (unless your name is Jessica Chastain), no judgment (if your movie wasn't directed by Cathy Yan, Ava Duvarnay, or James Gunn), but boundless freedom (as long as you are Hello Fresh and pay for ads). But on that same day as the eternal Grace hovered in the fibres of the multiverse atop her YouTube throne, another more terrifying birth took place: the birth of shilling. And as Grace herself, split into two critics, rotated in agony between two ultimate forces, the pendulum of choice began its dance, swinging between biased and unbiased reviews, in addition to a ceaseless streaming services versus movie theatres debate. It seems easy, you imagine, to gravitate, instantly and unwaveringly, towards unbiased reviewing, but Grace wondered, "How can I maintain the channel I love with a few coins from Amazon Prime Video to upgrade my 480p TV on the floor?" It doesn't matter if you even love the movie, Only capital M-C-U Just click those like and subscribe buttons 'Cause you were Born This Grace, Gracists Happy 2nd anniversary *******!!

discussion We are almost halfway through the decade. How was the first half for you?
Jotham posted a topic in The Lounge
With 2024 ending soon, we are almost halfway done with this decade. How was the first half for you? It's been a mess for me tbh. I've mentioned it before, but I feel like the pandemic upended my life and I've struggled to rebuild it since. I started 2020 on a good note but things went downhill because of COVID. Things slightly got better towards the end of 2022 and the entirety of 2023 was a slay. 2024 was also good but towards the very end it gotten really bad due to personal issues and I'm worried for next year. -
discussion Why do we shame gay men (but not straight women) for not being attracted to fem guys?
Bitter Aging Twink posted a topic in The Lounge
I was hanging out with some of my gay besties today, and we got into an interesting debate. As every gay person knows, "masc4masc" is a huge topic within our community, and it goes without saying that the majority of gay men tend to be more attracted to masculine-presenting men, and prefer to hookup and date guys who present that way. However, within the gay community there is also a lot of shaming that goes on when a gay guy who isn't misogynistic (but who doesn't feel turned on by feminine traits) admits that he's not into feminine-presenting men. I personally don't engage in this behavior myself, but I know many people in my circle who do. In my opinion, we like what we like and we shouldn't shame each other for that. However, it seems that there is a large subset of gay men who go out of their way to shame these "masc4masc" guys and pathologize them as having internalized misogyny and homophobia. While this may be true in some cases, I think that, by and large, most of these men have no problem with feminine guys, but they just don't want to date or sleep with them, and that's totally valid! I guess my issue comes from the fact that this shaming tactic seems so ubiquitous within the gay community, as if we are supposed to police other gay men and teach them what they can and cannot be attracted to. On the other hand, straight women (who are also attracted to men) NEVER get shamed for exclusively dating and sleeping with masculine-presenting guys. I have never once in my life heard someone tell a straight woman she MUST be open to dating a crossdresser, a guy who wears makeup, or a guy who does drag, or else she has some form of internalized self-hatred. Why is this the case? Why is it that straight women are allowed to pursue the type of men they are attracted to without shame and judgment, while gay men are pathologized and told that they must have some internalized hatred towards women and gays? And can the same logic be applied to straight women as well? If (like most straight women) a woman ONLY likes masculine guys, can we say that she, too, is struggling with internalized misogyny and homophobia? If so, then why does this shaming ritual never happen to straight women as well? Why can they like what they like while we cannot? -
Marvel Studios is currently casting the X-Men in the MCU. Casting has started since October 2020. Mutants will be showing up in several Films and Disney + series leading up to the X-Men's Official first Film slated as TBA. however several actors have received calls from Marvel casting. this Thread is created for the rumored original 6 member team of the X-Men that will comprise the group . Mutants projects will take an avenger trajectory, building up the stories to these Major characters before their team up film. use this thread to cast your first Class of Mutants. these Castings are not spoilers to any films. as most of these actors are either fancasted or have been contacted for roles in the MCU with disclosed decisions. this is for discussion purposes. Project CodeName: Uncanny X-Men is still years away, but we have already seen mutants and will see more sooner then you think. Professor Xavier/ Bryan Cranston (Creator of the Uncanny X-Men & School for Gifted Youngsters) As Mutant's begin to appear, Xavier uses Cerebro to find Mutants that are discriminated against. Bryan's professor X use's Sympathy and telepathy to control Mutant's powers. while offering them housing and tutelage at his school. Bryan is an excellent actor with Critically acclaim series like Breaking Bad under his belt. he would give a stellar performance. Cyclops/Liam Hemsworth (Leader & First Member) The first Class member that Xavier recruits in his Men Initiative. Liam is another actor that looks the part and can turn an other wise boring character like Cyclops into an action hero. Liam has worked on multiple action films and is most known for his role in Hunger Games. experience in Action movies can add to his fight sequences in the MCU. IceMan/Chris Colfer (Class Clown) Canonically, the Next Member to join the X-men. after being harassed about his powers and coming out, this is one of the most import character for representation in the X-men. Chris is most known for his work on Glee and publicly being a very entertaining and funny actor. bringing his real life LGBTQ activism into this role, as well as the humor and personality bobby has in the comics. he also looks the role, as Iceman was young looking in most iterations of the comics. IceMan Can be the comic relief, but also have strong representation and storylines. Jean Grey/ Anya Taylor Joy (Teacher's Pet & The Phoenix) Jean Grey is the Special Telepathy/Telekinetic that is even more powerful the Professor X. Anya already played a mutant in another universe, with a spectacular performance. She has the look, the Acting chops, and the fanbase to make Jean Grey actually popular on the big screen. hopefully Marvel can do what they did to Wanda, and generate a massive story arch for her. Kitty Pryde/Millie Bobby Brown (Valedictorian) Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde can replace Angel in this lineup. mainly because we don't really need a guy with wings in the MCU. we already have Falcon. Millie Bobby brown has been contacted by Marvel multiple times. of all the X-Men, this is the perfect role for her. the power to phase through objects has been seen through vision. but Kitty Pryde can use many inventive ways with her power. Millie also looks the part and has several years playing a superpowered teenager. Storm/Kiki Layne (Teacher's Assistant) Another highly anticipated Mutant, Kiki Layne brings the acting depth needed for such an import role. as this will be the biggest Female African American/role model hero in the MCU. Storm is a powerhouse with storylines that intersect greatly with professor X and Black Panther. she is seen as the leader when Cyclops isn't around. giving her a leadership position at the school is ideal. Wolverine/Scott Eastwood (Post-Credit Scene) Hugh Jackman's Predecessor has huge shoes to fill. however, Scott Eastwood has the look for a more contemporary Wolverine. making Wolverine the cool uncle type character would fit in with Disney. however Scott has played hero shows, and has the acting range to bring out the Berserk and violent side of Logan. since Wolverine is such a massive character he shouldn't be in the film until the pot credit scene. Disney+ has already confirmed a solo series for him. that where his origin and character development can be handled. the X-men 1 film should be similar to Avengers 1. as professor X get's his students to work together in a X-Men first class type of way. Disney+ and other Marvel films can introduce other Mutants, but the first film should focus on these core characters.

discussion Have you ever or would you ever wear butt pads?
Distantconstellation posted a topic in The Lounge
I mean if girls wear them and bra pads, why not? Also some trans chicks and cross dressers wear silicone boobs too.. My question is what happens if u are hooking up with someone, do u just hope they are too drunk & h**ny to care?
