It's become a weapon wielded by people hungry for clout and the feeling of control over others by making them fearful of social ostracization and harassment.

Meanwhile, the billionaires on the island,

"So-and-so drew themselves as a toddler pissing their pants and I think they're jacking off to it!!!"

OK well I'm having sex with my 3D wife and then hopping on Dota 2 with the boys, but if you want to spend your time hand-wringing about strangers online maybe you should try therapy.

Reminder that "degenerate" was a term coined by Nazis to describe art they didn't like and labeled problematic.

Unless you have proof of real world harm, leave people alone and let them draw fucknasty shit. You have block and mute features. Stop making your disgust everyone else's problem.

I've decided to run a sale for this week to celebrate my new account on Vgen! I added a simple banner option, as well! 💕

Big if true, thanks for the recc! I'll definitely investigate it.

Discord is doing the evil "SHOW US YOUR FACE" big brother nonsense, despite having had a data leak last year that included stored user government IDs lol!! And is defaulting to treating everyone like a teen until they see your face.

Sure, probably, but the actual setup is a massive pain in the ass, even if you're the kind of guy who regularly works with that side of software. And then the onus would always be on me to acquire and stream, which is annoying, and if I was gone then my friends couldn't watch stuff together.

OK, so what's the alternative to Discord for watching movies with the friend group? Slack??

Jellyfin and Stoat have barriers to entry that are much too high, like there's zero chance I am getting any friends to install and troubleshoot those.

Oh, just another day with our racist demented pedophile President. :(

Yeah, I know. I clarified earlier in this discussion chain with you that I don't mean literally all of them when I said it was *my experience,* and that I treat it like a red flag due to the *percentage* I've encountered with painted edges that are bad.
February 8, 2026 at 6:40 PM
repetitive dialogue, simple language, and over explaining to the viewer, because they're only half paying attention and will not know what's happening otherwise. The books follow the same patterns, designed for people with short attention spans. Not great, not for me.
February 8, 2026 at 6:35 PM
The issue is that the books are crafted with the intent of monetary success by marketing to an audience of people who spend hours daily on their addiction to short form videos. They tend to be the kind of people who have second screen media preferences, which shows now cater to in the form of

RIP to new authors who might meet my standards but who I won't discover without a strong recommendation from someone I trust, because I choose to avoid overly decorated books due to the percentage that are, in my experience, from booktok or of a comparable quality.
February 8, 2026 at 6:26 PM
Yeah, I'm familiar with gold edged books. I've even read Peter Darling by Austin Chant, then picked up the Rainbow Crate edition with painted edges--because I already knew the book was good. In the wild jungle of a store, it's a red flag: every time I've pawed through one unknown, it's terrible.

I'm so serious about the Booktok thing btw. If I see painted edges on that novel, I know it's hot garbage made to look good as a prop for pics n vids. Just the absolute worst euphony and disrespect for the reader's intelligence, having charitably gone through like .5 editors. I'm in hell.
February 8, 2026 at 8:43 AM
I do think Booktok and, like, the general downtrend in people reading anything but AI summaries of Cliffnotes has led to the most mind-numbingly stupid prose flooding the romance and fantasy sections, rendering those areas of book stores unusable to me...but like...c'mon, man. It's not Sex Ed.
February 8, 2026 at 8:40 AM
Felt so vindicated by Youtuber discussing the steep decline in the quality of fantasy novels within the past 10-15 years, right up until she started talking about how the romance and kinks were "problematic", as if erotic novelists are obligated to educate young girls. Shut da hell up!!!

I'm trying not to imply the average behavior I see between strangers online feels ableist, but it's hard not to notice the dissonance between the push for neurodivergent acceptance and accommodations from the same people who go from 0 to 100 fast if someone is mildly annoying in their mentions...
February 8, 2026 at 12:22 AM
I feel like I don't know how to talk to people online anymore. It feels like trying to engage sincerely and sympathetically just aggros them for reasons beyond my comprehension. Like they're conditioned to assume I'm being condescending instead of trying to relate and be kind. Internet feels lonely.

Gotcha, makes sense. Good luck!

Tomboyx might have swim tops that fit your needs. I have an older one from them that is double layered but no cups or padding.
