you’re probably an idiot. I know I am.

    Corporations fund the big name democrats and their campaigns. These same corporations benefit greatly from Republican wins. They are buying intentionally ineffective democrats who are unincentivized to either win races or appeal to worker interests as they are typically directly at odds with these big bankrolling corporations.

    I am not saying every democrat is paid for or every democrat is ineffective or democrats as a whole are an entirely bought and paid for organization, but what I am saying is that enough of the prominent enough democrats legitimately are financially disincentivized from helping the people they’re supposed to represent so as to effectively gum up the works of the whole machine.

    Live Action Cowboy Bebop was amazing, people just didn’t realize what it was supposed to be because Netflix was stupid and coy about it. It was never meant to be a 1:1 adaptation, it was meant to be an expansion of the anime into a whole ass franchise. The show had to lay the ground work and deliver enough of the anime to show promise and appeal to fans, but as far as I can tell it was always intended to diverge in a way that allowed more storytelling and development in Cowboy Bebop’s incredible and therefore tragically under-utilized universe.

    Also the casting for the main three was perfect.

    What pisses me off is you don’t even understand the place of privilege from which you speak. It’s such disgusting selfish egotistical mentality to think that if a candidate doesn’t represent your exact desires, that you think you can wash your hands of the whole thing and absolve yourself your part in the system.

    The world is not designed to cater to your personal sensibilities.

    Meanwhile, as you abstain and wait literally forever for a candidate that you don’t have to pinch your nose to vote for, you are proudly throwing away your ability to impact change for the better.

    Basically you’re saying if you can’t have ice cream for dinner then we should go ahead and burn down the grocery store.

    You’re a child.

    Except this is all predicated on caring about other people’s opinions on your interests, which is foolish to begin with.

    If you like something, like it because you like it. Let however other people process the thing be how they process it; it doesn’t have to have any impact on how you process it.

    This. OnlyFans is the “farm to table” of the porn industry and people feel differently about stealing from a small family farm than they do from Walmart.

    Also, beyond just the guilt aspect, that same “farm to table” principle also means that a lot of people see OnlyFans as a fair and reasonable exchange with minimal unnecessary exploitation. Paying a major porn company feels scummy and gross and may make you feel complicit with the various evils of the industry; subbing to an OnlyFans can feel more like a donation to a creator who makes content you enjoy.
