@polychrome extremely valid, i'm going to just be over here being distracted by that winking man's beautiful, beautiful face
@polychrome i've got no idea what's going on but, well, i'm certainly seduced now
@InspectorCaracal ohhh ok that makes sense
oddly i've heard it used in context more as like. "a tankie is somebody who is too sympathetic to capitalism" Ah The Joys Of Linguistic Drift
the best definition for praxis i have come up with from context is "real-world actions derived from political ideals; a very fancy way to say '(best) practices'"
i've been on mastodon for months and i still don't know what praxis is exactly, though i can usually garner meaning from context
but i have no idea what a tankie is
like i gather it's a certain type of shitheel motherfucker but what is tankie short for. the only mental image i get with 'tankie' is 'like a tank in warfare but cutesy?' which then leads down that dark road of those japanese rpgs where all the tanks are generic moeblob anime girls for some godforsaken reason??
i mean all i know of nier automata is
1. friends tried to explain the lore to me once after i watched the end of drakengard 3 after one streamed it; i still don't understand it all, but i think nobody does, including yoko taro
2. saw some streams of the actual gameplay from friends playing it
and still, i want to know... TOOBEE WHAT BRAND ARE YOU WEARING? DO THEY DO CUSTOM SIZES? WHAT STARCH ARE YOU USING ON THAT SKIRT? COULD YOU LET ME KNOW PLEASE
csa mention, angry.
@hailsatan@mastodon.social don't apologise to me. for one thing, i'm not the one you're hurting. i'm not injured - i'm disgusted.
if you're truly contrite and truly ready to be better than pure toxic shitheel, drop the shitposts, drop the "everything's an ironic joke", drop the trying to be a super cool dude. it's that attitude of "but i wanna be the cool guy" that got you here.
log off the internet. have a serious talk with yourself about your values and priorities. and do better.
csa mention, angry.
@hailsatan@mastodon.social apologies that are flippant and veiled in irony, crafted to become shitposts, also don't count as much as you think they do.
you sound like you are gleefully contributing to the toxicity and not wanting to own up to your actions. so why do you think this is good? why do you think this is cool?
if that's what you think is cool - making jokes that hurt people - shouldn't you be scurrying back to 4chan and drop the act? you'll find better fodder for your games there.
csa mention, angry.
@hailsatan@mastodon.social ok. so why do you think rape jokes are cool, then? why do you think rape jokes are how you're going to be a cool person? why do you think emulating people by telling rape jokes is going to be a good plan for your life? why do you consider being cool the end-all be-all here, even when you have ended up being hurtful? why is being hurtful cool to you?
what separates you at all from the dregs of 4chan other than "well i use they pronouns so i'm woke"?
csa mention, angry.
@hailsatan@mastodon.social so are you an actual person @hailsatan or is this some sort of elaborate art performance wherein you spout word salad to sneak in the worst of the internet, and clothe yourself in fifteen layers of irony to dodge any responsibility for your actions
if you think csa is something you can joke about and not invoke trauma, and that joking about csa is what to do to be cool, now's a good time to get off the internet. i mean it. go detox.
@rodserlingzone ok fess up whose fursona is she
