News Anchor in my area loses it over a Fat Cat that likes to swim.
I don’t know what’s funnier, how she said physical activities or the snort.
I love how she gradually loses it. She gives it her best try and then you can just hear where her composure starts breaking down.
i always lose it when her voice trips into the fifth dimension as she says physical activities
grown adults will get on the internet and say things like “why is this movie about the protagonist, the titular character?” just walk into the ocean i cannot help you
"That villain was so problematic"
Yeah it was their job
Wow. When did the porn bots get to run the website? Also it’s amuses me that this happened AFTER the porn ban. Karma?
Lmfao as a religious trauma survivor and a product of Christian fundie indoctrination myself I am in full support of calling fandom wank "purity culture" and the use of the word "puriteen" as well actually.
It perfectly encompasses what purity culture was. It wasn't just about "no sex before marriage"; it policed every fucking thing you did and forced you to walk on eggshells your entire life so your Magical Sky Daddy didn't clutch His heavenly pearls at your naughty behaviours.
Holding hands with someone you weren't married to? Gateway to sin. Making eyes at someone of the opposite sex? Gateway to sin. Thinking "impure" thoughts about someone else? Thoughtcrime Gateway to sin. Wearing the "wrong" type of clothes? Listening to the "wrong" kind of music? Having the "wrong" sort of values? Enjoying the "wrong" kind of media? All of it was seen as a stepping stone toward being a sinful godless heathen (and to some people it was essentially just as bad).
And it wasn't enough to just avoid BadWrong Behaviours, either. In my ex-community you were expected to express your disapproval of it and be well versed in the theological how's and whys. Does any of that sound familiar?
Purity culture at its core is so much more than "wear this purity ring and pinky promise to Jesus that you'll never have sex until you're married" and if you didn't realise that while you were there you weren't paying attention.
