Oh. Right. Then do the pie outside. The sun light helps the body process vitamin D or some shit. Eat an orange as you do it.

Riddler

Just because she's pretty doesn't mean she needs to be shoved into every circle of genre. I really didn't like Easy A.K.A. Trying to be Mean Girls.

Duh, of course it does! Ridiculous! And I have not watched either of these movies. Sue me!

Swimming with Jellyfish sucks.
Looking at Jellyfish from a safe distance, however, is awesome. They're so pretty~

I masturbated to a couple photos of anthropomorphic NIAIST robots just now.

You would be wrong.

How does it feel

To know me

Now all of you know

More about me

How does it feel to understand my soul

Apparently the first half of my life was surrounded by ADHD while the second half is now dotted with bouts of depression.

I can't tell if it's all the drugs years ago, the fucked up childhood or just bad luck, but either way it sucks.

Kitsune Inferno

While we're on the subject, my confession is that I dont get the point of fetish porn.

If I already have the fetish, _why does everybody have to be naked_if I'm going to mastrubate to it anyway?

Because that's the…..point of.....porn ?

Kitsune Inferno

But why does there have to be porn of it? It's redundant.

Again. You're asking for the logical reasoning behind the existence of porn.

And also, do you mean to tell me that you would find any art featuring a "furry" character, regardless of tone, set or execution, as something to fap to even when nothing sexual is being implied ?

It still bothers me. :I I don't care if there's logical reasoning. >_>

I don't even know how to begin to respond to this.

But the most hilarious option would be to say, "Yes, yes I do. Do you have some kind of problem with that?" Then I'd get to watch you make a fool of yourself.

The tired, very easily provoked me wants to call you out for somehow assuming that I'm actually discussing a furry fetish because you're a slave to your own generalizations. That would be the most satisfying option for me, but it could get messy fast.

Another option would be to post an image macro in response because this doesn't deserve a proper response. Ann Perkins has been on extended vacation...

I know! I'll do this!

It was more of a rhetorical question, because I quite honestly have no idea what you're problem was here.

@Kitsune:

Plus I was a bit mistified with the latter half.

Kitsune Inferno

Calling it a rhetorical question doesn't make the insinuation any less offensively stupid.

No Maam

Calling it a rhetorical question doesn't make the insinuation any less stupid.

Point taken, but that was exagerated to bring a point across: there's times when things like this are and are not supposed to be titilating, and the decision being up to the level of nakedness exhibited seems to be a logical way to seperate the two.

Pochipochi

Haha, cool it dudes and No Maam I don't think you even noticed what made him mad. Sexuality inspire beautiful discourse~ Chill and see if you can reach a mutual understanding!

Like, if I may concisely summarize what Kitsune Inferno appears to be pointing out (my apologies if misinterpreted), fetishes by the nature of definition are already intensely sexual in how they arouse the viewer. Fetish material acts as a sort of displacement for the sexual urgency and because of how the mind so strongly associates it (theories include wires crossing in childhood development, or using the fetish as a stepstool), there is no need to actually explicitly correlate it with sexual acts.

Fetish material need not always include nudity, basically. Although there are of course markets and a level of desireability with it. Depending on the fetish and person of arousal, the material may be more pleasing if it's treated fluidly and without an air of "by the way I know you're jacking off to this."

Of course I have seen a good dose of both sides where one is treated very casually and in a matter where the author, or artist, never bluntly makes it apparent that they are using it as a method of arousal. Sometimes this comes off as a bit creepy, if the fetish is something you'd never really casually see in real life, giving it a sort of "uncanny valley" of mental association. But I see a lot of porn too.

I don't have Kitsune's issue, basically. Although there is definitely heavier dose of people saying "get the fuck sticks on we're doing it" when it's less desirable.

Kitsune Inferno

If I wanted to be serious about it, then yeah, Holy's got the right idea about what I meant. Though do keep in mind that post does come after a very interesting conversation I had last night and wasn't really meant to be taken seriously in the first place.

Can't say it isn't interesting though.~

GypsyCarts

Just a normal posting day for No Maam!

How dull.

Hiroy

Uh oh

Steven D. Teach

I don't see it as redundant.

I have a massive foot and S&M fetish. The idea of licking feet and being slapped silly by an evil hot broad puts me in a happy place.

Her being naked or banging at some point doesn't seem like overkill, just helps the fap process. Yeah, I could get off to the original fetish alone, but it's not like I'm going to turn down more.

piratemarimo

Oh my god. I know I'm interrupting a discussion, but I just have to say Shia Lebeouf has now become ever so slightly creepy. Damn you internet. What the actual fuck? It's like… the most awkward song ever. I need a nice song to purge it from my brain.

Kitsune Inferno

I confess to the crime of first-degree carbicide.

Smudger

Since coming to Australia I've put a ton of pressure on myself to be awesome and successful, but the reality of things are that these things take time. So in my failure to get results I've turned the blame inwards and burnt bridges and destroyed my own vibe and stuff in the process. Not just that but I've nuked all the time I had on shit when I should have spent it on the people that care for me and have spent so much time and effort in making the good me…well me.

I've lost touch with everything I know and love, and in return I have nothing but loneliness. I've listened to bad advice, not followed my instincts and probably lost the only person in my life that I felt ever truly loved me. And for some reason it's taken me almost three months to realize this, and I can't help but feel incredibly dumb and shitty.

With this confession it's time to turn things back and move heaven and earth to try and get back what I've lost.

I literally cannot stand the Where the Wild Things Are film. At all.

It's okay, I forgive you.

I couldn't stand it. Couldn't sit it either, so I left the theater right at the end. Survey says I didn't miss much I wouldn't have disliked anyway.

I'm interested in trying to open my chakras to let go of my delusions and mental illness. Does anyone have experience here with Chakra meditations?

You are now my favorite person. I just had three people tag team me about how it's a movie about "forgotten childhoods" and how "it had layers of wonderful characters." And I'm, like, where did you get that from it was just a bunch of sad monsters throwing dirt around.

Bleak. Dark. Depressing. Also if I was that mother I would've suplexed that terrible child.

I went into that movie expecting wild childhood whimsy and escapism tinged with a little genuine terror.
What I saw wasn't fun, or deep, or compelling enough to justify the goddamn melancholy slog it was.

It's not like I didn't see what they were going for, end-of-innocence and all that, but let me tell you wherever they were going I didn't wanna be.

Fuck, dude. You hit the nail on the head. It was like this ridiculous twist if like: "OH SEE CHILDHOOD HAS FACETS AND PEOPLE ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM." But it wasn't what I felt most of the audience wanted to see. Or at least I didn't. I'd have rather seen 90 minutes of this kill bullshitting around with some beasts rather than this depressing story of neglect.

And I feel like people who love it are just trying to do that thing where they act like they really "got it." What's to get? It was really meh.

Not real experience, just common sense that tells me it's nonsensical bullshit.
Just get some professional help, mental illnesses aren't something that you can cast away with some make believe energy.
Chakra manipulation, come the fuck on, you might as well start gem therapy.

Thank you! It seems like everybody is always fanwanking about this movie, but I just don`t get its appeal. I was so depressed and disappointed after seeing it.

Robby

Where the Wild Things are was a perfect movie about lost childhood, with each monster representing a part of the boy's own inner problems and struggles, exemplified to an extreme, while combined with excellent technical work that made the monsters look very nice.

I really did not enjoy it at all.

I kept waiting for it to have a point. For something, anything, to happen. Watching it once was more than enough.

But I can see where it would strike a cord for others. But its more a movie for regretful 45 year olds that have forgotten their youth than the 7 year olds it was targeted at. It was sort of trying to be like Labrynth or Dark Crystal or something, but without any of the whimsy, fun, or 80's-ness.

Pretty much.

When I was a kid and visiting my grandparents in San Francisco, we went to this big shipping center called the Metreon with a built in arcade, Playstation Store, IMAX theater, and other attractions including a "Where the Wild Things Are" play area. Very low tech and interactive, with jungle foliage and whack-a-mole and giant fake monsters you could romp around - that was what the Wild Things were to my childhood. A little dark, a little scary, but ultimately worth tumbling with.

I know it's what I went in that theater to see - the trailers gave off the impression of a quirky, Wes Anderson-style romp.
The movie wasn't having none of that.

Very apt.
My family felt a little cheated; I can't imagine how the kids watching it with us felt because the film was definitely not for them. So what was the point?

I'll take Gelflings and David Bowie's bulge any day.
