    You’d think the literal apocalypse happening would be an acceptable justification for not being dolled up 100% of the time, yet here we are with Aloy.

    And honestly, she looks pretty good for someone socially ostracized her whole life, not having a mom, and roughing it her whole life in a cabin that doesn’t have running water. It could be a whole lot worse than just peach fuzz 🤷‍♀️

        If I were reconstructing the entire biosphere, unless I had a really good reason, I’d leave out bacteria that made people stink, and especially endemic diseases like Cutibacterium acnes which are unavoidable today but didn’t always affect humans. There are good reasons to think that no one had acne until about 7000 years ago when people started cultivating grape vines and picked up something that lives on them, and that could be true after the apocalypse if Gaia didn’t choose to put the same thing on grapes.

        Yep, most male gamers who take issue with Aloy can’t tell she has some light coverage, and then criticize her for not wearing makeup and being ugly, which is amusing. And sad too, that even wearing makeup doesn’t satisfy their impossible standards because it’s still not enough makeup.

        Maybe Aloy plucks? Some people just have great eyebrows without having to do anything, and I am jealous of those people.

    What’s interesting is that the ones who don’t have peach fuzz are men who shave. If a perfectly smooth face is what you find attractive, you want a man’s face.

          Actually, you have that backwards, you see, the act was known as ‘shagging’, from the old english ‘shagadelic’ meaning excellent or enjoyable, long before the carpet existed. The style of carpet was found to be ideal for ‘shagging’ on, especially in groups, as the long fibres reduced slipping. Thus it became known as ‘shag pile’ due to the piles of ‘shaggers’ often using them.

      My wife is the first woman i have properly been with, and i find myself staring at her moustache when she’s watching the TV and unaware.

      Im in no way turned off by it or anything like that, it’s just fascinating to me somehow. Like 6 years I’ve been with this woman and I still can’t stop.

      As a bi woman, absolutely. I’m personally one who doesn’t like falling behind on my shaving routine, but hair looks wonderful on anyone who chooses to grow it out. I may or may not have a weakness for crunchy granola girls myself. 😳

        Oh god, I’m not usually one to horny-post but crunchy granola girls 💕

        Long tangled hair, perhaps a bandana, no makeup, cargo shorts or flowy elephant pants, unshaved pits and legs, a human smell (and maybe some patchouli).

        I knew a crunchy granola girl who rolled her joints using raw rotini noodles as the filter, proudly declaring to everyone in the smoke circle “it’s biodegradable!”, she was amazing.

          I feel so lucky. My girlfriend has pet cacti (including a bunch that are genetically the same cactus), art covering every wall (and a blanket pinned to the ceiling), pretty much all of her furniture (except her bed) was rescued from curbs or otherwise obtained through second-hand sources. Her pillows and blankets are a mix-mash of colors and textures, as are the cups and mugs in her cupboard. She loves to bake vegan treats and do needlepoint, and looks amazing in a summer dress.

          When we were hanging out on her porch last weekend, a little bird kept coming really close to us and chirping. The lil guy looked straight at us, from one chair over, and chirped at us. He did this several times, over separate occasions (we went inside for a while here and there.) My girlfriend and I even chirped back at him, and he responded like it was normal. The last time we saw him was just before sunset. He appeared out of nowhere as soon as we sat down, perched on a chairback across from us, gave us a single loud CHIRP, and disappeared into the night.

          He had no fear. Maybe he was curious? I don’t know. But I’d like to believe our Sapphic Vegan Fae Magic is beginning to manifest.

      I’ve always felt kind of marginalized in my enjoyment of women’s pubic hair. I don’t fully agree that liking it shaved is a definitive sign of a pedo, but I do hate that weird worship.

        i genuinely cannot process the concept of finding pubic hair unappealing in general, like yeah sure if it’s like 10 long hairs that’s a bit weird but the same thing applies to hair anywhere on the body so eh, and 95% of pubic hair looks good

        I’ve known two people with PCOS, one of them is a (hot) dude now, and the other has a beautiful burlesque figure that she has to shave more than me since I started hormone therapy. XD

        But yeah, women with PCOS often have elevated testosterone. That’s one of the typical symptoms of the condition they can test for.

          I have hirsutism due to PCOS. I’m waxing that mofo of a mustache even though it hurts like a bitch. Ain’t got no time to waste on shaving every day lol. It’s the harmless part of having PCOS, and kinda wish it was my biggest concern about it, lol.

    I rarely have any encounters with genuinely toxic gamers, but I remember one time a troll being rude to everyone and was bragging how great he is with having more points while I have zero (we are just few minutes into the game). I responded that he has zero sex in real life. He didn’t reply for a long time until he had enough and quit after telling me to kill myself. I think he quit because I eventually outscored him by a wide margin. Lol funniest gaming moment I had. I haven’t encountered the player again because he probably got banned.

    These incels blame everyone but themselves. And the thing is, I give them the benefit of the doubt, because many of them are probably neurodivergent and don’t even realise it so they did not get the necessary help. I am not saying it is the person’s fault for being neurodivergent, but many incels who happen to be one easily lash out because they just don’t realise they are neurodivergent. I have a family member who was diagnosed only later in life, which explains a lot when we were growing up.

        I completely understand. I am not saying all are mysoginists should be left completely off the hook because some are genuine assholes who are too far gone, like Andrew Tate; but on the one hand, people who are mentally and emotionally vulnerable have been groomed to adopt extreme views. The latter should be helped.

          Unless you engage with them in some sort of way, which you don’t want to do in most cases, how do you find out? It’s hard to keep an open mind when encountering such a person and so is giving them the benefit of the doubt. Nowadays, it’s just the easiest explanation to assume they’re just a misogynist

            What I mean by giving the benefit of the doubt is not necessarily to engage with them, but to keep at the back of the mind that the person may or may not be a vulnerable individual who had been manipulated. IMHO it is fine to think “this person is an idiot, but there could be something that made the person that way but who knows.”

    I think she is so fucking gorgeous which is unfortunate because she isn’t real

    And B. If she was real she would be somewhere far away, taken and busy

    And C. Probably zero chances anyhow even if she was somehow single and looking

    D. If somehow she was interested then it would probably turn out she is batshit insane or that my flavor of insane is incompatible with somebody else flavour of insane

    E. Turns out it wasn’t her I wanted but her eyes and eyebrows and dimply lines for myself and I turn into a face stealer monster

    F. I have successfully warped my consciousness into a high tech imitation android body of alloy however everyone I know is long dead and I am alone among the ruins of humanity hubris

        Actress looks very pretty. However I don’t need in game character to look…. alluring for me to enjoy the game.

        It’s not some kind of requirement and honestly I am judgy here, maybe too judgy but if you only play games with characters you wanna fuck then I have some kind of contempt for that. Like if you refuse to play because character isn’t hot enough then I get judgy and mean

          Absolutely valid and based opinion. Other people, real or digital, don’t solely exist for your sexual pleasure. It’s a good thing that the video game industry is sorta moving away from absurd sexualistion of female-presenting characters and all the more appalling when they don’t.

        Funny because I seldom watch anime, no takers for it here and I don’t like watching stuff alone

        My best anime story I ever ‘watched’ was a gacha game Honkai star rail in some dream world so that sums it up I guess. Still I can’t find anything that would hit me like it,

        Sad escaping reality narrative inside escaping reality medium.

        There is something very sad about escaping reality and it is almost too much too bear to hear such story while escaping reality. Never recovered from it

        Even hearing music from that story arc makes me instantly cry even thought it wasn’t objectively some kind of masterpiece but to me it is
