Man, imagine if I had to cram all this information into Twitter.
I mean, you think I’m esoteric now… lol
Also, the ensuing accusations of “manthreading.”
Enough of the straight ones would like it that it would defeat the purpose, methinks

I don’t feel like they thought this comment through.
Some woman did this and wrote an article about how the straight men who received the pictures were universally pleased to receive them. I myself would not mind receiving random pictures of vaginas from random women.
I would mind, but yes, that twitter user seriously has no idea about the dickpix senders.
Yeah the absolute majority of men don’t send dick pics, people who do so do so because it’s exhibitionism, and before someone segues into “well all men are responsible then” it’s not a kind of thing that comes up in conversation at all
Even when I’m “one of the guys,” it’s never come up.
Like, “let’s make a Discord for porn lol” has come up. Which I’ve shot down, because seriously what?
“but how will I ever be able to get laid if modern culture frowns upon me getting coworkers drunk and making out with them against their mumbled protestations?? it’s not like my wife is gonna sleep with me lol”
I have not actually worked out how modern culture proposes people are meant to get laid.
I mean, people obviously seem to be doing it, but there appears to be no acceptable strategy.
You ignore the recommendations, and prove how manly you are by taking on the risk anyway, getting shut down viciously if you’re too low-status.
The problem is that any permissible channel will be FLOODED due to the mismatch between the demand for sex from women and demand for sex from men, at least at the noisiest age pools.
Secondly, straight women (generally, on average) do not want to initiate beyond the barest hints, ones that are plausibly deniable if she turns out not to be wanted by that particular guy, leaving her sense of being desirable intact.
What is going to change this is early Transhumanism, as it’s going to alter the sex ratio and potentially result in an increase in bisexuality.
I mean, in practice I used a dating website, which implicitly includes the idea that everyone there for dating is there for dating, and specifies their orientation, so if you don’t have “short/long-term dating” and so on your profile, no fuck for you,
but I don’t necessarily match the patterns of other people, so this may not be actionable advice.

I bet you hide your gender because you don't know what it is. Merely being a confused possibly trans person is too normie, I'm guessing there was some kind of mindwipe and on the right stimulus you'll trigger as 2x193ffhg or something, at which point the world is sufficiently Woke to handle such a true form.
Gender, on Tumblr, is a Discourse Attack Surface:
Woman? “Shut the fuck up, you sexist bitch.” “Hush, Karen,” and so on.
Man? Obviously you don’t understand the Lived Experiences of Womyn, you’re an oppressor, you’re coming from a place of privilege, et cetera.
Transwoman? You can’t be a true woman because you were socialized male, and therefore oppressor, at birth. (Or various right-wing criticisms.)
Transman? Why are you trying to become the oppressor gender, you delusional wannabe oppressor?
Nonbinary? Make up your mind / stop trying to escape your obligations to WOMEN
And so on.
Not providing it makes it more difficult for [discourse rival] to avoid engaging with the content of a post by writing it off as written by [enemy gender]. They still can, but they have to assume the gender to do so, which is a discourse liability.
But on some level, you’re right - it’s probably no accident that all my long-term exes are bisexual women of some kind or another.
Houston flood mitigation info thread. Interesting read.
I feel like we could use a Twitter, but with a 320 character limit instead.
I now have a Twitter (which is to say, I remembered the e-mail for my old Twitter), and I don’t understand how to use it.
do i just… start posting things no one has any capability of seeing in the first place? i replied to people, but it doesn’t show on my timeline and “joins in on already existing twitter war” is a niche clearly filled
I thought you enjoyed yelling at people that you think are doing politics stupidly, as a recreational activity? Wouldn’t Soldier in the Great Twitter War be perfect?
140 character limit is like a noose
“Your beliefs are a like a religion. Suicide and self-harm are still incredibly high after HRT & GRS.” “In fact, transgenderism is much worse than religion. At least religion saves people from suicide.”
“Interesting thought! Interesting thought. But no. What’s actually true is” and i have no more space
Ugh, you are so unimaginative, Ranma. All you have to do is post strings of (X/140) tweets and then get accused of “manthreading” by a shtty BuzzHuff writer that has no idea what your gender is.
I don’t know why anyone would think Twitter is an inherently limiting platform that promotes bad discourse norms by its very form, lol.

why now? why didnt the social heat death of humanity happen ten years ago, or fifty, or two hundred?
brazenautomaton answered:
Increased communication technology increases the speed at which entropy devours new things, and increases the baseline level of entropy new things begin at.
The heat death of civilization couldn’t happen before Twitter, but Twitter can’t be un-invented.
Twitter can’t be un-invented, but it can go bankrupt and from what I hear, may do just that. And the backlash is still brewing everywhere. Deconversions are generally permanent.

Tried to get a twitter account, and about four seconds after signing up it was “We’ve detected some suspicious activity, can we have your phone number?“
Fuck no, twitter
“Aw, come now Squiddy honey-baby, you wouldn’t mind providing your number to lil’ ol’ me, would you?”
- Twitter, probably
Ain’t nobody gettin my number, I resent the very existence of phones.
Good. I saw Twitter collecting over eleven thousand phone numbers at a bar the other night. Can’t trust a woman corporation like that.
SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
