As much as I hate 1984, I still believe the appendix is the only good part of the book. I guess "language is kind of an effective control tool" is a basic take, but when I read it in high school I was fascinated by how good those few pages were at building the 1984 world.

In my defense, I had never read something like that before ("oh, this is fiction pretending to be non-fiction... is that legal??!1!") because I was 15 (also I was so creeped out by Winston, the story is better without him)

King shit

I would just complain that they don't bother with proper sex ed nor do they give content warnings before teaching 1984, so they always end up exposing teens to rape and misogyny out of nowhere. I need to spread the "Fahrenheit 451 is the superior dystopic book" agenda

Edit: oh, just a new comment by gay regarding the sex pest behaviour Orwell exhibited by writing 1984. Normal stuff folks, keep moving

Wait till you find out they don't believe you can rape your spouse

Their phones are cool because you can fix them yourself. They posted tutorials on their youtube channel.

Also their last model has that see through case and I think that looks very cool

AAVE isn't just a bunch of expressions, this is such a superficial take that you might as well not say it.

Tw for the replies. People are discussing weightloss like suckers.

What about r/fatlogic. It's a bunch of people with eating disorders being fatphobic to strangers online to cope with it. The circlejerk they form is amazing, always end up mentioning their own weights so you can think they're skinny.

Edit: and damn, do people not like seeing fatphobia called out? Why downvote when I tell the truth. I'm not making fun of EDs, I have one. Why else would I know how it makes you sound like.
