I understand it. They think respect and consent is weak and pathetic. They want 'strong' people who violate others boundaries.

I often wonder how much slut shaming has to do with women who expect/want this sort of behavior from men. Does it make them feel like they aren’t “responsible” for the sexual encounter if the guy is pushy, therefore they aren’t a slut?

this is 99% of it. It's about plausible deniability if things don't go well. it's all about pushing all the responsibility onto the man.

When have you ever met a woman admit to being bad at sex?

these women don't care about that. they are operating on a toddler level of wanting what they want and throwing a tantrum if they don't get it.

communication is not something they have developed yet.

Teenagers will spend a lot of time wooing the person they want. Middle-aged people have no time and will simply move on to the next person who’s not playing games.

Bingo. Adults have no time for stupid games. Kids do.

nobody is going to make a top end phone without a good camera. that's not how product design works.

a lot of software dev people are incredibly naive when it comes to how human beings interact and behave.

their biggest mistake is often they assume other people are chill nerds like they are...

i already have had multiple weirdos harass me on lemmy for not being leftist enough. i've blocked dozens now, and really kills the experience to have some crazy people go around and brigading your comments because you disagree with their political viewpoint slightly.

way too many people take the internet comments/points WAY too seriously...

you can't build a successful relationship without dating and getting to know if you're a good fit.

yeah, been there too. i could never understand someone who refuses treatment/therapy/medication and then blames someone else for their struggles.

nah it's multiple dates. it's also a common attitude that men need to 'impress' dates by spending a lot at restaurants otherwise they 'devalue' a woman. asking someone out on a cheap date to get to know them isn't the point... the point is to win them over by spending money on them.

basically a lot of people see dating as prostitution with extra steps. and wonder why they are single.

 

Or is it just doomed to the vapidity of sterile commercialization?

It feels like everything is serious these days... and 'humor' is only of the commercial variety. Joke communities and circlejerk communities are considered 'hate groups' now. Mods will ban you for sarcastic comments on 'serious' topics, and even on non serious ones, and everything is politicized either by trolls, bots, or whackjobs.

It's boring when you can't joke anymore. I miss my internet communities of 5-10 years ago when you could joke around, and even people of different beliefs and persuasions could laugh at themselves.

Now everything is so deadly serious. It's a complete bummer. And any sort of 'edge' or sarcasm or sardonic remarks are ban-worthy.

I guess it's just poe's law run amok? I feel like mods could tell the difference 10 years ago and the non-jokey psychos were just ignored.
