It’s the same thing.
Naturally there’s a masculine energy and feminine energy. Like a yin-yang dynamic.
In my experience, the fastest and most reliable way to understand feminine energy, is to increase your masculine energy.
By doing this, you become more sensitive to feminine energy and that sensitivity allows you to understand it more.
By setting yourself apart, you can see the distinction more clearly. As opposed to androgany where one is muddled up, there is no clear distinction. I get ya
Yes, exactly.
There is nothing wrong with being androgynous, or a man having more feminine energy than masculine. I’m a fan of David Bowie who is known for popularizing an androgynous look.
Everyone is different and a unique package.
Not everyone is going to be Rambo or Dutch from Predator, lmao.
Whether you have feminine energy, masculine energy or androgyny… you can have whatever, it doesn’t suddenly mean that you treat people like shit or become an egocentric maniac. Nor does it mean that you let people walk over you and dominate you.
Toxic behavior and being a good human being, isn’t sexually dimorphic. Being respectful isn’t sexually dimorphic. Trauma isn’t sexually dimorphic. Poor mental health and emotional issues aren’t sexually dimorphic. Self-respect, self-love and self-worth aren’t sexually dimorphic. False belief systems about yourself or reality… aren’t sexually dimorphic
You can boost your masculine or feminine energy as much as you want. You can also accept, embrace and explore these parts of yourself without shame.
There is no side effect or toxicity. We live in narcissism culture, where 99% of people are traumatized. Naturally people will view masculine and feminine energy through a lens of trauma, toxicity and ego. They need something to project all of their own bullshit into it - same thing they like to do with everything else.
Same thing they like to do with anything natural, boundless and beautiful. Look at what they’ve done with sexuality, lmao.
Lol, alright I’m done for today. Hahahahaha
Damn, I’ve noticed that recently. Seen this girl in the public park, playing around with a hula hoop.
Swirling it around her body, balancing it in her forehead etc.
When I used to watch porn my mind was filled with a lot of unhealthy “need to get laid” compulsive thoughts.
But this time It was her that flashed me.
Like I’ve been unable to see the raw femininity when I’ve used to be wired for porn.
The grace, the beauty of her movements, how she expressed her femininity through her body…
Captivating
This guy is the fucking GOAT, lmao.
Armored Core, lol. I think I found Waldo.
Interesting how such a phrase has massive parallels to this forum and the type of work that a lot of us do.
The “core” of your mind being your belief systems, thoughts, identity, values and perceptions. The structure that supports your entire framework.
The “armor” being the coping mechanisms we use to protect our core belief systems from challenges and contradictions.
And growth.
The willingness to temporarily shed the protective armor in order to examine new perspectives, expand our understanding and refine our core beliefs based on new information. The uncertainty and discomfort that comes with that. Personal development.
(I’m joking, hahaha).
All flags go through RVconsultant, DarkPhilosopher, Saint or Fire. Posts aren’t removed without admin knowledge. So there could have been a good cause for it.
I don’t want to bother those people, lol.
I’ll send you the gif in PM, let me know what’s bad about it.
No please 
. It’s ok. Lets move on from it.
Let’s try this again…
I mean that dude was a Nazi in that movie wasnt he?
I would advice against posting a deleted picture (or post) again on the forum. The reason being that every flagged post is taken into consideration and opinions are taken from the Forum Ambassadors too. So to post it again will imply going against the Forum policy.
I do genuinely agree with you on the matter of exploration of topics in a deep manner but we have to also understand that the forum rules are different and we are trying to be neutral with regard to politics, religion, idealogy, etc. As such we do have to take into account flags and how they affect others.
This is my explanation on the matter and not a personal point against you or anything since I really love your opinions on various topics.
I think we all know that icons and symbols have power.
That their meanings, associations, and connotations are inherently imprecise is a central feature of the power of symbols and icons.
Icons and symbols propagate easily.
They are “memetic”.
And as such they are purposed and repurposed extremely easily.
A cross. A circle. A star. An Andre the Giant face.
They carry multiple, contradictory, often charged meanings.
Thus when you tap into the power of a major cultural symbol or icon, the narratives that you are activating go far beyond whatever your individual intentions might happen to be.
Some icons are powerfully emotionally charged because of their close associations with major historical events and cultural references.
This is Collective Social Phenomena 101.
Just the way things work.
I didn’t flag this image. But I’ve flagged similar images before.
I wasn’t flagging the human who posted the image.
I was flagging the image.
The image sends a powerful message, independent of whether your personal intention is to celebrate every part of that message or not.
It represents a whole lot of trauma.
haha.
If someone really loves me. And that person decides, as an expression of love, to take some fresh fecal matter and use it to draw a heart on a piece of paper and to write the heartfelt message “I love you”.
The intention is beautiful, but…
I’m still throwing that crap away.
(I am not saying Hellboy is crap. It and other Golden Age-setting, pulp-style comics were making use of the WWII tropes to evoke (and subvert) the sense of clear moral lines. Effective literary strategy.)
If I flagged every post here that represented a whole lot of trauma… lol.
I have gifs with guns shooting and nobody flags it.
People post music from Cannibal Corpse on here and nobody flags it.
You guys are reaching, and reaching very hard.
Not only that, but
Nobody has told me why my gif was flagged, deleted and against the Forum policy.
We are assuming that it’s because of triggering symbolism (very small in the size of the entire gif).
So if I repost the gif without the symbolism, then how is the gif still inflammatory? Like what the fuck, lol.
You know what, y’all got it. I posted some cool gif related to art (creative story writing/music/mood) like I always do and people go insane.
It’s the internet, I got you.
No problem, lol.
Context, my good man. My meaning, as I hope you know, is not to say that we can’t talk about trauma here.
I’m talking about unintentionally causing it.
A pretty good rule of thumb: If there is a symbol or phrase that is pretty much exclusively associated with a genocide that occurred in the past 200 to 300 years? Just think twice.
Not really.
A decontextualized image of a Nazi officer standing defiantly with swastika-covered flags waving behind him.
Not a very far reach.
It’s actually kind of a softball when it comes to ‘Things that may trigger or inflame people’.
It would be a $100 Jeopardy game-show response. Not a $1000 one.
Bruh. I think you are beautiful and awesome. I’m just talking about swasties.
(and as a person who has investigated his fair share of Buddhist iconography, I’m aware that that symbol had some very different associations before the 1930s and 1940s. It still does.)
I think it is fine without the swastikas, personally.
But we’d need to wait for an actual moderator to know the whole story. I don’t have access to the flags.
Malkuth has explained it very well.
And regarding this:
Every flag is investigated but some posts and pictures are harmless and hence are allowed.
Every flagged post isn’t deleted.
Have said my part, my friend. Any other issues, please consult @RVconsultant and @DarkPhilosopher.
EDIT: as of this writing, Forum Ambassadors don’t have the ability to delete posts nor even see which posts are flagged. But the admins (RVC and DP and even Saint and Fire) do ask our opinion and eventually they take the final decision.
Let’s try something. I will post something very controversial, let’s see if it gets flagged.
