yeah, eye contact like that is considered aggressive by gorillas. it means you challenge their position and want a fight
so this gorilla accidentally makes eye contact and slides right up, social faux pas gets this exagerrated correction to make sure you'd understand the mistake
@denis__draws
thank you. i feel a similar way about the depiction of ocean sunfish as "useless" (what does that even mean? useless in what way?)
alas! so many will say: "its just a fish" as though they are aquatic automata and not equally complex and feeling as their dry-land cousins...
@FoldableHuman
i was taught that it stands for both Sadism and Submission. that "BDSM" is a combination of "BD" and "DS" and "SM"
Bondage/Discipline +
Dominance/Submission +
Sadism/Masochism =
"BDSM"

peppino.... you thought your days of dealing death were over, but some mistakes can't be unmade. you can't bring a burnt pizza back to try to cook it again.... all that's left is to move forward.... to forgive ourselves, if we can. it's okay to cry, peppino spaghetti.
@meganroseruiz
i feel like i need to add how bad it is for psychotic people as well. it's apparently a really funny meme to harass and trigger people who are already extremely marginalized. either feared as a monster, or dehumanized into a joke.

feeling bad for the robot is not the end point. its an art installation, designed to be thought provoking. sure people can "outsmart" the artists by pointing out the installation itself is not actually "doing anything" meaningful by itself - but the point is what it *represents.*

this particular change is for the better even from an "artistic" standpoint. it doesn't make sense that the viewer can ogle her in a sexual way in this graphic, the whole point is that she's fighting back from that.
@WaterAstronaut
my headcanon is that romeo made the organic parts based off samples of his own cells/dna to more easily psychically control it (which is also why the bed has the same hair color when afro)

genus of endoparasite crustaceans that have lost all exoskeleton and mobility to become fleshy soft things that live inside and feed on the bodies of sea stars!
@maidensblade
exactly. i don't understand how people don't immediately get the message "well, you aren't pretty anymore, but, uh, at least you're happy?"

oh, it's not a psychosis thing, it's a transgender thing. 41%, is, supposedly, the rate of attempted suicide among trans people, so transphobes like to throw it around and see who they can hurt.
@dailyfggirls
person i genuinely despise hit me with big band level 5 playing the among us theme (meme i genuinely despise)
my hatred for this nameless individual has only grown since, yet i sometimes (on a matter of principle) regret my actions, though do i feel they were somewhat justified
@harmonydew
@meganroseruiz
i don't even know how to describe how infuriating and terrifying it feels to be on the receiving end of that kind of "joke." i would rather have "41%" shoved in my face repeatedly.
at least most people understand how the latter is harmful. at least it doesn't make reality break.

caecilians and snakes are both chordates that look superficially similar, but nobody says caecilians are reptiles.
scorpions are arachnids, and lobsters are crustaceans. just because they look similar and share a phylum doesnt make them closely related.

its an insult if the target of the phrase isnt actually a feminine boy but a feminine girl. you can tell from the context and target. hope this helps
ah, i just want to become a horrible sea monster.... can i transition into that next? capsize a few boats, sing a few songs, breach and feel that divine plummet, water on my back?
@ISH_TAHR
so many humans have trouble empathizing with other humans. an even smaller amount really empathize with animals. an even smaller amount empathize with animals that do not communicate or display feelings the way we do.

ill at least defend serebii because it never takes long to load and doesn't hide the useful in-game details of a given pokemon behind an avalanche of trivia and info from games nobody has played in two decades

an emotionally healthy opponent can handle a loss and still have fun, you shouldnt have to sandbag for their sake if the whole point of the game is to compete as best each player can
