@Camas@girlcock.club i have no actual data to go on given the physical separation between myself and my friends but i'm pretty sure i shared a room once with a dude who was fucking every male friend he had

@Camas@girlcock.club i mean if i'm being completely honest i probably wouldn't either, if only bc i wouldn't think to do it. but it's? is it not normal for close friends to just do the do sometimes when they hang out

@Camas@girlcock.club so....friends

@BestGirlGrace @themorgangoats thirty seems like a pretty severe underestimate

@dopple@cryptid.industries ....given it's the english we're talking about? yeah no, everybody hates the english

@dopple@cryptid.industries they'd probably be very upset about that, given their history with the english

@Pyretta ok but gentile is definitely not of celtic origin

when scots words bot accidentally grabs a regular english word

@cdmnky why would i need pictures when i can have the real thing

correction: it's exceedingly common for them to be really d__n disturbing for a modern minority audience

from my understanding, most cis white dudes are left unscathed by reading these

honestly a lot of the so-called classics of literature fit this general pattern—most of them are relatively uninteresting to a modern audience in terms of writing style, and the majority of them are useful tools for developing a contextual perspective on the time & place they were written. the downside, of course, is that it's exceedingly common for them to be really d__n disturbing for a modern audience, especially if one happens to be a minority, since the list tends to be curated by white men

@Pyretta probably; though my familiarity with that is limited mostly to memes

@Pyretta the kind of book where the fact that it was published comes as a shock because it's without question lower quality than probably any fanfic i've read

i will, however, encourage folx to look into dickens' work if you're not already familiar with it. i wouldn't generally recommend any of his novels, but his short stories tend to be good and it's worth reading commentaries on a christmas carol just for the history—i'm legitimately impressed by the amount of detail he fit into that one story in support of better treatment for the poor, and a lot of it is hard for a modern audience to pick up on. so decent commentary contextualises a Lot of things

also absolutely do not ever read the wizard knight please learn from my mistake. there's literally thousands of better-written self-insert fanfics you can read online if you really want to, and most of them don't glorify abusive behaviour
