THE PROBLEM WITH HUMAN PET GUY IS NOT THAT HE WANTS A HUMAN PET.
The dude has a bunch of “weird” fetishes. That is fine. The reason be is infamous is because he keeps bringing them up in non-sexual situations, and gets yelled at every time. And it’s the “gets yelled at every time” that’s crucial to understand here: this is not a guy who made a mistake once. This is a guy who keeps doing this despite overwhelming negative feedback.
Because it’s easy (especially on a social media site as varied as Tumblr, especially how it used to be) to misread a situation and reply with some inappropriate stuff, but you can apologize and delete it.
He’s done this multiple times though! In different places! And he keeps doing it.
THAT is why he is infamous. Not because he has weird fetishes. It’s overstepping boundaries.
(I’ve posted before about why he’s like this and what he gets from it, but that’s not important for this)
It’s about consent. I know the HDG stuff is dubcon/noncon, but they’re stories. You have to go read them, and you’re warned about the contents before you can read them.
Human Pet Guy will show up in your reblogs saying “okay what if I keep a human as a pet” because you mentioned that something about breastfeeding. You didn’t consent to that and he knows it.
Wait I thought the problem with cybersmith was like, eugenics or something
He has a lot of really terrible political opinions, I don’t keep up with all of them. It wouldn’t surprise me!
i personally was a fan of his political opinion of milking trans women and selling it bottled
That’s one of those ideas that seems like a good one at first, but then you investigate further and it turns out it’s terrible. He wanted all trans women locked in chastity and their health care denied unless they paid for it by selling their breast milk, but he wanted this program to be set up as a government program which would then be privitized. Yes, he wanted trans women to have to sell their milk to a PRIVATE AGENCY doing the government’s job!
I’m fine with forced chastity trans-hucow fetishes, but I draw the line at privitization.
Keep your neoliberalism out of weird kinks!

everyone knows that space is very very cold, and the sun is very very hot. so i assume there’s a bit of space kind of near the sun which is just right. balmy space
The “fact” that junk food is cheaper than real food has become a reflexive part of how we explain why so many Americans are overweight, particularly those with lower incomes. I frequently read confident statements like, “when a bag of chips is cheaper than a head of broccoli …” or “it’s more affordable to feed a family of four at McDonald’s than to cook a healthy meal for them at home.”
this bullshit fills me with a very specific kind of rage. so, TIME TO DEBUNK!
that meal from mcdonalds takes virtually no time to acquire AND is available almost anywhere.
the second meal? that “salad” is lettuce … with nothing else, not even dressing unless its just olive oil or some milk i guess? gross.
also thats the price of each serving, not an entire loaf of bread, a bottle of olive oil, etc. that stuff adds up which means you have to have a lot of money at one time to buy it all.
that meal probably took an hour and a half to make, which is a long fucking time when you work multiple jobs or are caring for a lot of people or dont have help! seriously, if you are a single parent of three who works, is spending an hour and a half every night preparing a meal a likely option?
same with beans and rice! also, you know whats a fucking bummer? eating beans and rice every night because you are poor. ask any person who has done it and they will tell you (you can start with me).
there is a “nutrition” argument here that lacks a follow up: poor people are more likely to be doing physical labor and need more than 571 calories per meal.
you know who is less likely to know how to bake or prepare a chicken? people without access to the internet, or libraries, or who werent taught how to by their parents because their parents worked all the time. access to healthy foods is a classist issue and classism is cyclical, you fucking morons.
seriously, these sorts of infographics make me want to fucking flip tables. do you know why people don’t eat more fresh fruits and vegetables? because fresh fruits and vegetables are expensive, because they take a long time to prepare, because they dont live near a grocery store that has a decent produce section, because they dont have reliable transportation to get groceries to and from the grocery store, because they dont have the energy to plan all of the shit that is involved in making healthy, intentional, filling, balanced meals. basically: poor people get fucked, and then we get BLAMED for being lazy.
eating “healthy”, aka access to fresh fruits and vegetables, is a privilege, first, foremost, always. so fuck you new york times and your ignorant goddamn infographic.
there are SYSTEMATIC REASONS that we do not have equal access to fresh fruits and vegetables. they are very REAL problems. besides, you know, systematic poverty in america, the total mis-distribution of farm subsidies is a perfect place to start. read about that, then either get bent or start working on the actual problem.
In which fad dieters forget about the dollar menu
These comparisons are always so dumb. There’s no comparison between a fast food meal & a home cooked meal. When I was young, poor & working 2 jobs, I still cooked most of my food for myself because it was cheaper and cooking instead of sleeping was the only way I could actually afford to eat. But I also did not have kids to look after. If you don’t have a car & you don’t live in a city then you probably don’t even have easy access to McD’s. People talk about food deserts all the time, but reality is that there’s still a lot of the country that is poor & lives in the middle of nowhere.
The real comparison here would be pre-made food. For instance, it’s cheaper & healthier to buy rotisserie chicken, ramen noodles & frozen vegetables. Just dump the vegetables in the ramen and add half a chicken. Then you can make sandwiches out of the second half for another meal. Or you can buy minute rice, canned beans, salsa, cheese and whatever fresh veg you can afford to make a rice bowl. Add some eggs & have breakfast burritos with your leftovers.
The comparison should not be between only fast food & only home cooked meals. There’s a ton of stuff you can do in between that no matter how poor or busy you are.
That’s what you get when your school lunches are provided by the company that used to feed prisoners until they lost the contract following repeated food quality and food safety concerns.
When I’m bored I paint arms onto VeggieTales screencaps
god dammit no now they can do too many things like jack off and hit you
BUZZFEED: Top 2 Things Vegetables Would Do If They Had Arms
I’ve never seen the show, do they not have arms??
They’re vegetables with faces and an unending faith in christ
|If they don’t have arms then crucifixion can’t be a thing
Their Jesus culture must be extremely different
What do they wear instead of crosses
fadfijlkasdfnka
there isnt a veggie christ. they believe in human christ, and now that i write that out in words that might be weirder, but whatever.
every bible story is something they are explicitly acting out in-universe, often with one of them acting as narrator, sort of like how the muppets are “actors” in-universe. you can even see in op’s edit the tiling from the countertop they all live on, and the side of the giant, human-scale computer they use. also they have never explicitly talked about the crucifiction or most of jesus’ life, even in the christmas episodes (at least, not in the old version of the show, the IP has changed hands several times and i stopped following it in like 2005 lol), because the creators thought it would be too weird to have a veggie jesus.
does this mean the veggietales are expecting to be eaten by the children they are telling bible stories to? yes. we don’t talk about that part.
Okay so they’re not in a universe populated by veggies, they are sapient veggies in our universe, talking about human Jesus who was crucified by human Romans. Okay.
And they’re Christian? Do the vegetables have souls? Do they look forward to going to heaven after they die? That sounds blasphemous. Or are souls the purview of humans only, as per real Christianity, and these sapient vegetables know that a great nothing awaits them after death, but they are motivated to save the souls of children for… some reason? Are they a form of angel, perhaps? Is that monocled asparagus an angel?
In August 2024, a wave of protests rocked Indonesia, ostensibly in response to political machinations aimed at anointing a successor to President Joko Widodo, popularly known as Jokowi. Very little information has circulated about these protests in the English-speaking world. To get a sense of the deeper issues at play, we reached out to anarchist participants in different parts of Indonesia.
little kids always latch onto the older cousin who is the most aloof to them they’re like i am so sorry sweet old ladies who want to give me toys & candy but i do not give a fuck about you right now because i have GOT to go bother the unemployed 23 year old who wants to play call of duty in the dark in his room
In my past experience as the tumultuously-employed 20 something it’s because the adults are always talking about taxes and the kids are playing with Legos and if you’re a 20-something you can easily be branded “good with kids” by building a spaceship with your niece twice removed or whatever instead of dealing with the most toxic suburbanites known to man and the kids will think youre cool for that
Aunt Kathy needs to stop asking the kids about school and me about how the job search is going. we are playing hexbugs right now.
*nodding seriously* we are playing hexbugs right now.
Our reality is a simulation designed to test whether it would be better or worse to change the social conventions so that shaking hands with someone no longer requires doing a full thumb war with them (which is how they do it in the real world, and you can’t do a half-assed one just to get it out of the way, both of you have to be really trying your best). They’re thinking of getting rid of that to save time but they’re doing this simulation to see if there would be unexpected downsides. It’s vitally important from our perspective that not too many people know about this because then it would corrupt the data and they’ll shut us down early. I’m posting about it here because it’s not a big deal if some people know, but I’m not sure exactly where the line is so obviously use your best judgement when talking about this.
A rare occasion where it’s both! Animals can’t receive communion/experience the sacraments because they have no souls. Additionally, I am going to safely assume you aren’t a priest, so you aren’t allowed to perform transubstantiation. Additionally, the Eucharist cannot be made of dental treats. Finally this whole thing is making a huge mockery of one of the single most sacred acts in Catholicism. Well done!
You often see people bailing water out of a sinking boat make the rookie mistake of throwing the water back into the sea. That’s no good, that water’s just going to come right back in again through the hole in your boat and all your hard work will be undone. You need to find somewhere else to put the water.
whenever i’m discussing baby names with a weird woman i always make sure to try and sow the seeds of tragedy. ‘isn’t eridan a cute name for a boy? it’s greek.’ this is the pseudointellectual’s noblesse oblige.
My controversial Minecraft Movie opinion is that isekai could have worked for it, if they had just played it like a vanilla minecraft world. It’s even the game-movie most suited for an isekai storyline tbh.
A couple of kids wake up in a strange new place and have to figure out how to survive. And then, eventually, how to get back home. And this could take you all the way from punching a tree to killing the ender dragon, ending with The End Poem, which can be read aloud as it scrolls across the screen by all the weird helpful people the kids met along the way (steve, alex, mcyt cameos)
Also Steve isn’t white, the piglins aren’t evil or in the overworld, and the whole thing is animated. The kids are blocks in the block game and if you absolutely must have them be real people, have it be a split second of them waking up after the end poem
You could even start off with the quippy, flippant refusal to emotionally invest that all the cool kids are doing and gradually fade that out as the kids and the audience learn to care.
Address it even. Because caring about things is scary and its so much easier to be all nudge nudge wink wink but how sad to never be earnest or vulnerable? How very lonely that is.
not to be maya on side but please do not call someone or something “mayan” when talking about our people, culture, etc. “mayan” refers to our language family (a language FAMILY, in which there are plenty of unique languages). we are the maya, not the mayans. i am maya, not mayan. it is the indigenous maya community, not the indigenous mayan community.
Sucks that ‘womanizer’ is a word used to refer to misogynistic men cause it sounds like what Dr Doofenshmirtz would call estrogen shots
Okay then put the work in

It’s what I named my (not public) app for tracking how long I’ve known I was trans, been transitioning, and on HRT, and I didn’t even think about the fact that it also meant that until I went to post about it one time and fully realized that that’s the meaning of the word. I was just thinking of the song and didn’t think too hard about it when I named it.
one of my patients came in for an emergency visit, because she snapped the wire on her retainer watching the movie when MBJ took his shirt off she clenched her teeth so fucking hard she snapped it. that is the fucking funniest shit ever to me this tiny 17 year old girl thirsting so goddamn hard she busted steel
