  • I feel.like we generally give women a pass on A LOT of weird behaviors about children.

    That does include elevated attention to the genital area (seriously, why? Leave our genitals alone ffs), borderline fetishizing breastfeeding, and also a lot of other stuff.

    Like, for example, I had several women independently telling me how baby feces smell nice and milky. Like, what the hell and why do y’all feel it’s appropriate for a casual conversation???

    Or that they love to smell baby feet. Huh? Funny thing I first got those stories after seeing a TV ad (was a while ago) with a woman burying her face in baby feet.

    I can only assume this is either a result of hormonal shifts throughout pregnancy, or that there’s plenty more female pedophiles than we knew.


  • Of course, you’re technically very right - what they see is not vagina.

    But in the culture, the word often simply refers to female genitals as a whole.

    That doesn’t mean anyone using that word is not aware of the words “labia” and “vulva”, they can even differentiate between labia majora and labia minora etc.

    But for the sake of brevity and simplicity, people just say “vagina”, even if it’s not necessarily a technically correct term.






  • For building vast structures, to me it’s mostly Space Engineers, but that’s another concept too, not exactly “build a gigafactory” type game. Still, building something big and cool it does.

    I’m also sad MMOs are rarely first-person. Like, there was Tera, but it died immediately as I first heard of it, which is super unfortunate because it certainly seemed to tick my boxes.

    I didn’t play The Talos Principle, but heard about the game. Spent quite a while in both Portal games though - good times.

    Which is yet another confusing thing for me :D

    But I learned to play some third-person games, while others still hurt. For example, generally slower pace and auto-aim World of Wacraft is alright, but action-packed Warframe that also offers me to shoot in third person (why on goddamn Earth?) is killing me.

    As per Valheim, I tried, but it felt odd to me. But thanks a lot for the recommendation!

    Top down is better, but I’d still rather have even pseudo-3D (like in many strategy games for example, especially older ones).

    But yeah, I often challenge my mind thinking that “down” is very arbitrary and is just normally takes along the weight force vector :D

    Yes, but my brain subconsciously interprets 2D worlds as ones in which there are front and back (away from screen and in front of it), and I just can’t look there and see what’s there.

    Like if you’d build a house with floor, two walls on the opposite sides, and the ceiling, and would decide to completely ignore that your house is actually a tube and two sides are wide open to the outside world.
