literallyaflame:

someone: an alarming number of young girls are being pressured to contour and highlight their faces so that they look 10 years older, which is already not great, and then they take all their selfies with an app that makes their faces slimmer and their skin lighter and their eyes bigger and this is MAYBE not great for their self esteem

a grown adult, somehow: makeup is a choice, IDIOT, and Snapchat filters are ALL for FUN, I don’t ACTUALLY wanna look like a DOG haha………. society is fake and kids can just CHOOSE not to be influenced by the things that are thrown at them 24/7!!! i am very smart

Pros of being a Fandom Old:
- never have to worry about my mom finding out about my porn fic
- have seen it all before and give few if any fucks

Cons of being a Fandom Old:
- forced to work at actual job instead of writing fic all day
- have seen it all before and get regular “ugh not again” moments

me: i am a reasonable adult and a literature enthusiast. i can totally read a classic book even if it hasn’t got any female characters in it. i will appreciate it for what it is and understand its historical and cultural context. i will keep in mind that women need not always be at the center of every story.

me like 30 pages in: i AM SO BORED, I AM DYINGGGGG, SHOW ME AT LEAST ONE HUMAN WOMAN AT ONCE OR I SHALL PERISH

ya

same.

and, there’s just no going back! Like, books that I read and tolerated, or was pretty well-entertained by, way back when - when I now try to read them, even if it’s been ages and I forgot a lot of what happened, I get so bored, it’s suddenly SUCH a CHORE, why is there NOBODY EVEN A LITTLE LIKE MEEE, why are there no women, only functions and images, WHYYYYYY etc..

solutions: refusing to resist the urge to pull your book out of your bag to read at social gatherings. embracing the urge to pull your book out of your bag to read at social gatherings. giving zero fucks and fortifying behind your book, thanks to your very sensible urge to pull your book out of your bag to read at social gatherings.

just, y’know, do it. go on and pull your book out of your bag to read at social gatherings.

you will thank yourself later =)

The Malcom Fallacy

Dr Malcolm perfectly captured the problem with too much moralizing sci-fi when he whined “your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.”Because of course they should! “Should we recreate awesome dinosaurs*?” The answer is obviously yes, utterly yes, that’s the positive control case to test absolute YESness. You don’t ask people that question to find the answer, you already know the answer, you ask people that question to find out if they’re worth talking to.

*a scaled pseudospecies distinct from feathered “actual dinosaurs”.

The real problem is the wrong people asking the wrong questions, then blaming science for delivering overwhelming experimental evidence of their mistakes. Jurassic Park’s key question wasn’t “Should we recreate awesome dinosaurs?”, it was “Should we unleash those awesome dinosaurs on a safari with worse security and fewer staff than the average Apple store?” No, you shouldn’t have done that. The science spectacularly succeeded in delivering a dinosaur miracle, and then specifically didn’t knock them out of the Park because that tourism screw-up’s entirely on capitalism. No scientist was collecting data for “Quantifying how much money we can make from tourism” or “Material testing the flimsiest fences imaginable with a goddamn Tyrannosaurus Rex”.

That’s the Malcolm Fallacy: blaming science for everyone else’s mistakes. You’ll see it in almost every techno-horror.

Should we invent AI? Yes! Should we connect it to military mainframes with nuclear launch authority? No!

Should we research viruses? Yes! Should we override the security computer and physically crack open sealed airtight doors when viral labs go into lockdown? No!

Should we research teleportation? Yes! Should we experiment on ourselves, alone, without even the most elementary laboratory (or even pizza parlor) standards of cleanliness? No!

Almost every sci-fi horror plot is driven by money-grubbing corporations but it’s the researchers who can’t even afford a change of clothes from their “I’m a scientist!” lab coats who take the blame. And now we have hordes of idiots destroying cropfields and resurrecting defeated diseases while CEOs gold-plate profit reports on basic medicine.

This and more at ZERO POINT COMEDY
