(This is a very minor issue, but I can't stop thinking about it, and I need to know if I was out of line...)
I (25F) am in my first year at an art school. I was working on a project at the school outside of class hours when we started chatting with the other students working there.
Another guy from the school (2nd or 3rd year, idk, I had never talked to him before) asked me to come see his artwork on tablet, which he was proud of. I got up excited to see it. It was a woman in anime style, very sexualized: very big curves, defined abs, low cleavage, etc. It immediately made me uncomfortable, but I tried my best to remain polite. I said something along the lines of "Oh, that's nice, you have good skills... maybe you should go touch some grass, though, but the technique is great!" And then I went back to work on my project.
Later on, when the dude left, a classmate (20M) who had witnessed the earlier exchange told me I had been "very rude and harsh" towards him.
I think the dude was the senseless one. I don't even know his name, I barely had registered his face at the school, and he shows me such a drawing. But maybe it's because I don't watch that kind of anime? AITA?
The sick reality is that many of the renowned academics and writers among Gaza's thousands of martyrs will, in twenty years time, be quoted and memorialised by the same universities and institutions that have denigrated them and enabled their slaughter.
one thing the human emotional range is lacking is the predator animal ability to stare at people while holding the limp, bloody corpse of your prey in your mouth
According to a recent report published by the Aargauer Zeitung (h/t Golem.de), around three million smart toothbrushes have been infected by hackers and enslaved into botnets.
