vzq, (edited ) in Goth GF Meme Analysis

The attraction of goth gf is just that it’s the only subculture archetype where it’s acceptable to be sexy and not thin like a rail spike. Hence, big tiddy goth gf.

0x4E4F, (edited )

They’re also wild (or at least look to be) and that gives an impression that they might also be kinky, or at least give a great sexual experience… whereas barbie girls are usually just for show.

In either case, both the barbie girl and the big tiddy goth gf are (generally) of no use in the household. One is for show, the other one is for sexual pleasure, but neither of them can be classified as good partners (in general… doesn’t mean it’s true for all). They usually care more about their style (appearance) than anything else.

So, to iterrate, it’s fun having them around if you’re a young adult, if you want a gf for show or maybe a little on the wild side, maybe a tigress in bed, etc… but… when it comes to actually marrying one, usually, none of them is them is the right choice. You want a partner that will be by your side and cherish what you both have? Go to a market or a convenient store at 9AM on a Sunday. Those are the people that know what responsibilities are and will always be there for you.

Once again, this is a generalization… doesn’t mean everything is like I described it… this is more of a past experiences sort of a thing, mainly my experiences.

vzq,

Wow dude.

This is some 1950s shit right there.

0x4E4F,

That is my experience and I did point that out on a number of times in my post. Your experience may differ from mine.

Plus, I don’t live in the US, so things may be different here than what they are over there. Don’t assume that just because I’m an English speaker that I’m automatically from the US.

vzq, (edited )

The problem is not your experience, it’s your opinion. It’s highly, highly misogynistic.

I’m not sure why you hastily point out you are not American like it’s some sort of excuse. Neither am I, but I’m also not a huge chauvinist piece of shit.

HikingVet,

Not American here either, and wow, do you miss every mark.

0x4E4F,

That may be your POV, but I think we can agree that it might not be everyone’s.

HikingVet,

It seems like you’re the odd one out here.

Stop listening to Andrew taint or wherever you got your info.

jrbaconcheese,

I don’t usually get this much misogyny with my morning coffee

HikingVet,

That first paragraph was a warning that you hold some bad ideas.

The first sentence of the second paragraph show that everything you say can be dismissed without further examination.

voidMainVoid,

I’ve met plenty of goth women who got married and were good wives. There’s this weird stereotype that says that if you want to get married, you have to marry June Cleaver, and that’s just stupid.

Sharkwellington,

Please don’t make sweeping generalizations about whether or not women are “of use in the household” ever again, thanks.

0x4E4F,

I’ve seen tons of women refer to men like this, refering to them as desdbeats or just no help around the home. Why can’t I refer to women like that as well?

Sharkwellington, (edited )

Do you think stereotyping is okay just because someone else does it? Nevermind the misogynistic implications of basing a woman’s value on her usefulness “in the household.”

GeneralVincent,

whereas barbie girls are usually just for show.

Women are not objects or “just for show”. They are people.

In either case, both the barbie girl and the big tiddy goth gf are (generally) of no use in the household.

Women are not household slaves to clean up after you. They are not objects. Their worth is not dependent on how they cook or clean. Maybe you can be learn to be useful in the household.

One is for show, the other one is for sexual pleasure, but neither of them can be classified as good partners (in general… doesn’t mean it’s true for all).

Again, not objects. Not sex objects, not trophies for your viewing pleasure, not cleaning robots. And saying “doesn’t mean it’s true for all” doesn’t make your sweeping generalization not demeaning or objectification. Anyone can be a good partner. If you keep having bad experiences with large groups of women, guess what… you’re the common denominator.

They usually care more about their style (appearance) than anything else.

Another generalization -_- the same people that say this kinda thing then unironically spend 12 hours playing video games or throw a tantrum when their sports team loses. It’s a hobby for some people. And for others, they’re told they’re not worth anything unless they spend all their time looking perfect (like you just did in the last paragraph)

but… when it comes to actually marrying one, usually, none of them is them is the right choice.

I will never understand how some people will say women are sex objects and then shame them when they have sex, all in the same breath. And if you’re kinky or like sex, you’re bad at marriage? That doesn’t even make any logical sense.

You want a partner that will be by your side and cherish what you both have? Go to a market or a convenient store at 9AM on a Sunday. Those are the people that know what responsibilities are and will always be there for you.

Yeah, best place to hit on women is when they’re grocery shopping lmao I don’t know why, but this reminds me of parents telling their kids to put on a suit, walk into any company, shake the owner’s hand, and you’ll get a job.

Once again, this is a generalization… doesn’t mean everything is like I described it… this is more of a past experiences sort of a thing, mainly my experiences.

Yeah, it’s not like you describe. You have to work through that resentment you feel towards these women before you have a healthy relationship. Seriously, as a man who could have very easily become an incel, I’m telling you that the most important thing you can do is to think of women as people. Retrain your brain, reinforce the thought ‘this woman is just like me, they are doing what they are doing for a reason. If I disagree with what they are doing, maybe I don’t understand it. I’ll try to understand it before criticizing it. And what this one woman is doing does not represent all women’

I was lucky enough to meet a woman who is a lot like the women you’re criticizing. And she is an incredible wife and partner, and I have learned so much from her about what it means to be a woman. I hope one day you can find the same empathy and understanding.

0x4E4F,

You know nothing about me or my history/experience in life… yet, you’re free to comment on it, but I’m not allowed 😒…

vzq,

yet, you’re free to comment on it, but I’m not allowed 😒…

Just so we’re all clear, your little woman hating ass is NOT the victim here.

GeneralVincent,

I do know something about your experience in life, you communicated that clearly, and continue to communicate that in all your replies.

You’re free to comment your opinion, and I welcome you to comment on what you think my history/experience in life is like. But I will never stop defending women or really any other groups that are constantly harassed, demeaned, misrepresented, etc.

I do so hoping that you’ll be open to learning something new, but if not then at the very least you’ll know this is not a safe space for sexism, others have the chance to gain a new perspective or add to the discussion, and people in those groups know they are welcome here and valued as people.

What did I just read? And I thought I grew in a country with a conservative society.

Engaging in stereotypes is an immature behaviour. The world isn’t all black and white.

And what the heck is a wifey material? You’re a grown man, right? I’m pretty sure you can cook your own food, mop your own floor, wash your own clothes and buy your inventory. Why do you need a woman for that?

Goth and bimbocore are just subcultures that deviate from the norm. Remove all of that, and what remains behind is a woman. It does not make them a bad mother, a bad cook, a bad home-keeper or a bad life-partner.

In Hinglish, we have this saying: “Pehle slutty-savitri, phir sati-savitri”. This phrase essentially criticizes the hypocrisy of men who manipulate and exploit women for their own desires but then seek “pure” wives for marriage. This applies to you.

GregorGizeh,

You can be thicc in any subculture. Curvy women were never not attractive. What’s not attractive (nor healthy), even for supposed goth gfs, is being really fat.

Melody, (edited ) in Skipping along, missing most of the beats...

Just because someone skips a track doesn’t mean that track was wrong for that playlist. It just means the time was wrong for that track. The mood.

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed; but “Shuffle” used to be a good thing! Now; it frequently just isn’t good at it’s job. There’s no control over the “Randomness” of the shuffle anymore, and there’s no way to turn off any “Algorithm” that promises it can pick the next song better than random shuffling can.

Sometimes that experience of a truly random or an algorithmic shuffle is good; and sometimes it delivers bad options, and being able to say “Nah, I’m just not into this track today, NEXT!” is something I regard as a fundamental right, and something that you too, should do. Skips shouldn’t be precious actions. Your mental heath shouldn’t be impacted by an unlucky shuffle, nor should your mood.

Music is a deep, and almost primal form of expression; and it can express many things. Sooo…Being able to skip the emotional equivalent of a 💩 pile of poo 💩 is actually pretty important…even if it doesn’t 🌹 always (metaphorically) smell 🌸 like poo to you all the time.

Knusper, (edited )

I was only vaguely aware of the algorithm on Spotify and that not being allowed to skip very often is a thing there, and man, this comment read like a completely deranged monologue from some sort of alternative, dystopian reality.

SternburgExport,

algorithm… not being able to skip… Glad I went back to a dedicated mp3 player.

OOTL here, Spotify hasnt done that for me yet.

Knusper, (edited )

I think, it’s only in the free version of Spotify. So, if you’re paying for Spotify Premium, you wouldn’t have that problem.

But I mean, I’m obviously completely out of the Spotify loop, so definitely take that one with a grain of salt…

Random shuffle really wants me to listen to a specific group of songs on revanced music.

Doesnt matter if I’m listening to rock, musicals, soundtracks, or medieval versions of “pumped up kicks”, it always brings me back to a handful of pop songs after one or two songs.

InfiniWheel,

I remember when I used spotify and it just kept insisting on putting and seemingly prioritizing popular pop songs in its generated playlists if I ever liked just one or two. Even in my own playlist if prioritized them a lot over the songs I did hear over and over again. And like, why??

baltakatei, (edited )

I am fond of a partial shuffle algorithm I wrote in Bash for my music playlists that often preserves neighbors of the input list in the output list.

Image

  • Blue: input sequence.
  • Red: complete shuffle.
  • Green: partial shuffle.

The result is like skipping through my media library in order but occasionally randomly enabling shuffle to jump to a new place. Since the input list clumps albums together and since albums often have a similar vibe, if I want several similar songs of a particular feel to play one after another, I just have to manually advance through the outputted playlist until I hit a song that has what I’m looking for; then I can let the playlist continue automatically since each subsequent song is likely to be similar to the previous song (until another random jump occurs).

Melody,

Nice. Once upon a time Winamp had a functional preferences slider that controlled the “Shuffle Morph Rate” and I can imagine it likely used a similar algorithm to shuffle.

I only wish this existed in more software in general…and that music players would let you select what method the randomization is achieved with.

Is legit.

But, you kinda have to do one playthrough like that. You can have the playlist perfect in theory, but until you listen to it all the way through, you can’t know that you got things the way you really want them. Quick skipping through is the best way to do that with the ability to keep track of what your impressions of the playlist are, rather than just vibing to single songs and missing the overall flow.

It’s absurd absurd how much thought I’ve put into playlist creation and management lol.

    I think it’s just different. Not incredibly better but not worse. People hate change.

    @Maven@lemmy.world avatar

    The new update doesn’t care about people with accessibility concerns. My fiancé can’t use the official app at all because they changed the contrast to make it impossible to read no matter the theme. The best they can do is 3-5 minutes looking at the official app before they get a headache and have to stop using their phone.

    This update is actively harming its users with no options to undo it.

    @LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world avatar

    I was not aware of this, I hope they improve the accessibility asap!

    Yeah, this is one of the worst. It can do this tag team thing with “wait, did I actually remember to turn my alarm on this time…?” too. Horribly effective duo.

    "Hey Google, when is the alarm set for?"

    "You have set an alarm for 6am."

    Ten minutes later:

    "Hey Google, when is the alarm set for?"

    I like the new call interface and the animations the calls have. I hate the fact pinned messages are under the “Settings” button for no reason and the fact the threads icon looks odd as hell.

    uzay, in venture capitalism goes brrr

    I have only used the new version on my phone a little and it felt much smoother than before. The mobile app was always ass, so if the redesign stops it from crashing all the time on my tablet it’s a net win in my book
