Yeah just a small glimpse dispels a lot of illusions; I guess a sign of this and the next generation is media disillusionment. Also I find the grasp of this particular, uh, interest group? covert ad-campaign? psy-op? to be almost overwhelming in scope. It has fingers in so many pies it's insane. It's in everything. How the fuck is it in everything?

i remain confident they'll fuck it up because they're porn-addicted narcissists who lack self-awareness. eventually the veil has to be lifted; they have to admit to someone it's just a fetish. then we keep receipts.

i have faith in the next generation. they're not as media illiterate as we think.

I do too. But I think they'll have tech related hurdles that we didn't have. I'm glad I grew up without Facebook. It just got started when I was 19.

Agree that it'll probably course-correct because it's just getting more and more obvious that it's porn-brain and various cluster-b disorders, at least in men. The amount of detransitioning girls will probably be the thing that topples it. And I think the lesbians won't take shit much longer.

I got an FTM friend. I'm supportive and lend an ear. But I'm skeptical to her getting surgery; I hope she won't regret it. She's not a young person, so she probably should know what she wants. But that someone seems so excited to amputate their breasts is surreal to me.
