Renaissance monk attempting to describe a game of Tekken 7: “I saw before me a great precipice, upon which would take place a battle between two great spirits, each flanked by banners of xanthous color which unfurled to that of blood when the spirits were struck. On the left was a demon in the shape of a bear, which stood upon its haunches in the posture of a man. On the right, an angel in the shape strong man with the head of a great cat. I watched as the spirits wrestled and struck each other with strength unlike that of mortal men. It was a terrible vision. I shall recuse myself to fast for a fortnite (he spells it that way) lest I am plagued with further dreams. ”
see as a girl who finds the idea of romance or sex with men so repulsive it drives me to retch, having to hear about if lesbians can or cannot have sex with men constantly has been really bad for my mental health. and its not about if one side is right or wrong. its that i cant fucking escape the unending discussion and still participate in lesbian spaces. and thats on both sides
The Very Hungry Rust Monster is a mini-comic I made a few years back. I’ve seen it floating around Tumblr without attribution recently, so I’ve uploaded a higher-resolution version, properly credited.
The idea the question is just “will living conditions improve or worsen for people in thr first world” is absurd. They will become more stable and conducive to human flourishing but they will be worse by any capitalist metric. We will consume less but we will do it with a level of agency humans have never known. We will travel less but we will never be compelled to sit in traffic, we will eat a narrower range of foods but we will make sure everyone eats, we will consume less cultural products but our culture will stop being an ammalgamation of products. Its a qualitative change whose character is far more importsnt than any underlying quantiative change a capitalist logbook of GDP would be able to reflect. And in exchange for finally living a worthwhile life we get to not rip the heart and soul out of the rest of the world and live on the backs of despotic imperialism
