careful, you can get lost in these stories they are kind of a train wreck. the worst one I’ve read about so far was (cw: torture) the attackers who tortured a guy for an hour with a heavy drill and made his four-year-old daughter watch

    My point, again, is that it sounds reductionist and dehumanizing to me. Sure, within some cliques I’m sure it’s hip and cool to say but I don’t think I’m the only one that may not like it outside of that.

      “meat space” is a pair with “cyber space” where we do other things besides cybering in our robes and wizard hats. the reduction is deliberate and if that’s meaningfully dehumanizing to you when it’s not about a minority group or specific person I guess we need to talk about why dehumanizing all of humanity simultaneously is a problem.

      i’m not over here referring to the non-cyber world like that constantly but I also really don’t understand what motivated the doing of enough analysis to have a problem with it. For me at worst it’s merely cringe.
