I don’t know if I posted this on here before, because I had this idea months ago, but I like the idea that Anakin and Padme aren’t, like, soulmates or whatever like the movies imply, but they just kind of have the hots for each other. Their love is “forbidden” because it would be a bad idea if two people from such radically different walks of life got together, it just wouldn’t work out. But they get together one night in a moment of passion, and if you screw with the timeline a little, the reason they stick together is because they accidentally conceived Luke and Leia.

That honestly sounds much fucking better than what we got.

Watched The Outsider and found it pretty good.

Didn’t Obi-Wan find out about his name in the hologram?

Obi-Wan learned that Vader survived through a holonews broadcast that showed an image of ol’darthie walking and over it the broadcaster called him Darth Vader.

The US army keeps trying to get me to go kill myself for big oil. I keep having to ask them to take me off their call and text list.

I absolutely despise all the people hating on Chris Chibnle’s run on Doctor Who.

Does this include reasonably-put criticism? I despise anyone who just hates for the sake of being angry or looking cool or any reason other than actually helpful criticism. But if you hate the people who just don’t like it and are being perfectly nice about that, I don’t think that’s fair.

I only hate the misogynistic idiots out there.

Ugh, Windows 10 updates are the worst. There should just be an option to only do updates by selected “update and shut down/restart” in the shut down menu, without ever having the computer shut down on its own.

I think maybe that option is in settings.

Oh so no showrunner or Doctor is conducive to a good 60th? My point wasn’t that Chibnall and Whittaker would give us a good 60th, just that they’d give us any 60th at all. I hope they have showrunner and Doctor lined up for 2033, but even then it’ll be super weird having an anniversary special in their first year.

I meant that the 60th will be amazing, unlike your prounouncement.

Sorry to necro, but I recently saw several websites that have animated child porn.

I absolutely despise all the people hating on Chris Chibnle’s run on Doctor Who.

It’s been announced Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker will be stepping down from the show in 2022. There will a single be a six part story for S13 and three specials at some point between then and the end of 2022. The 60th is gonna be amazing.

So what are you suggesting? That we abolish the sex industry altogether?

Practically speaking? No. Ideally speaking? Yes. It might be possible to eliminate trafficking without putting a stop to the industry, but I think there is something inherently wrong about objectifying human beings.

I don’t think I am objectifying anyone when porn is made for the explicit purpose of my arousal. I fully understand they are people, and if I were to encounter them in person I would simply say hello and be polite.

As for those who made a conscious decision to be pornstars and seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs, do you think they are somehow mentally damaged? Take Angela White for example. She chose the profession and genuinely loves it, or Nina Hartley, who’s been in the business since the 1980s and shows no signs of slowing down.

Completely missing the point.

But often it’s not. Many porn workers are not freely consenting adults, but people who have been forced into the position.

Millions of people around the world are forced into the sex/porn “industry” including thousands in North America (that web page goes over just those who contacted a certain hotline–there are likely many more).

Pornhub is becoming notorious for its exploitation of women:

• Pornhub was sued by 40 victims of Girls Do Porn;
• Mia Khalifa’s story is well-known and quite tragic;
• Pornhub has long benefited from videos of rapes and child pornography;
• Here’s another personal story.

Yes, there is probably consent involved most of the time, but enough of the time there isn’t that you never really know when you’re watching porn whether it’s consensual or not.

Beyond that, however, it objectifies women by its very nature. People used to consensually sell themselves into slavery, but that didn’t make it OK. I don’t see why it’s OK to objectify other people whether or not they consent. It’s impossible to watch porn and see the actors/performers in their full humanity, as ends in themselves and not just means to one’s personal pleasure. The same goes for prostitution. Not to mention that porn can be addictive, like anything that creates a dopamine rush, and often does create dependencies, as I have seen in several people (and have heard about in many more).

Thanks for the information about this grim truth.

I want to bitch about something, and it concerns the sex industry in general, particularly pornography and prostitution.

I am fed up with the constant shaming of sex workers as if they are lesser human beings. At the end of the day those who do porn are entertainers, and the actors in particular are consenting adults who are doing videos for our personal enjoyment. As for prostitutes, some of us want to unwind and enjoy the pleasures of the flesh and have little to no patience for seduction games.

Most of us are horny, and I think it’s time we accept that part of ourselves and not feel ashamed about it.

I read a fanfiction and thought I would like it, instead I feel angry and disgruntled.

The film Batman The Long Halloween Part Two is a fantastic adaptation! A must see for any Batman fan.

The reason Tarkin looks so old in the Bad Batch is because of stress.

Agreed

Impressive, most impressive.

In the flashback sequence of The Last Jedi, have Luke straight up murder Kylo Ren in cold blood. Then, give no explanation for why Kylo is still alive in the present.

Essentially what happened in the “movie”

Have Padme advertise her OnlyFans account.

Pretty good episode, though I don’t like how Tech tried to gaslight Hera when discussing her message.

So, why are Howzer and his squad such good guys?

They refused to keep following the party line, and instead refused to continue fighting against the people of Ryloth.
