EDIT: Also Holy Fuck, Batman is 42? I did not know that. Suddenly that situation becomes very depressing.
It's depressing if he's older than 10. It's creepy and disturbing when you're 42.

And for some reason a few of the animated smilies are going superspeed all of a sudden. Maybe it was the upgrade to IE10 and I just didn't notice yesterday, but damn.

It's not even all of them, just some. Like that bear with the trashcans, and the CSI Miami ones. I think brofist is also faster than it used to be. The others are normal, though.

Weird.

Isn't "pussies" generally considered a misogynist insult?

It's funnier if you prefix it with "gender non-specific" :smug:

using mental disorders as insults makes it harder to relate to the conditions as real things and people with them as real people, and makes it difficult to work with people with such conditions, in addition to provoking feelings of guilt when you're talking with someone on antipsychotics and you called someone schizo an hour ago.

it is totes patriarchal, since it uses the vagina, the florid, embarrassing metaphor for its role in sex and reproduction, and treats it as a metonymic of weakness and frailty, imparting negativity onto the florid but different, religious/spiritual, and somewhat disturbing metaphor for the vagina

so whether it's specifically misogynistic or not, (and that actually depends on the particular context- it could also just be plain ol' gender-role-policing too!) it's still what you might call bad and dumb,

Alternately, it could be implying that felines are weak. Weight for weight, this is not the case.

it always makes me lol a bit to see blatant copyright infringement with "(NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED)" as the description.

i betcha it stems from the uploader not realizing there's a difference between copyright infringement and plagiarism. i blame the bourgeois education system.
