Is limp wristed really a homophobic slur? From a cursory search it seems like a generic insult that is being applied to a homosexual person in the article. I see it if it was written as a hyphenated word like limp-wristed-homosexual

People are reading works with the subconscious or conscious goal of finding things that do not align with contemporary sentiment and treating interpreting in a way where then can mention how disgusted they are as a form of social clout. Tildes is generally better about this kind of thing so I am not sure if that is what is happening here.

People really do feel this way and I am out of sync with most of the morals of the people I come into contact with. This is the much more scary and alienating possibility. It seems like just about everything that depicts transgressing social boundaries is considered problematic. Its enough to push me into being interested in more esoteric things or just not talking to people about the things I like because I will get in trouble.
Lovecraft’s work is actually a really good litmus test for this because its highly valuable work for the fact that it helped found the most relatable genre ever created, cosmic horror. I don’t know about you but I feel like we live in a world of horrors beyond our comprehension just from the fact that we such a limited perception of the world around us. Yet few people talk about this when discussing him. I am not trying to see we should not see race as a part of work because it clearly is. I just think we should stop assuming the reader's view is the same as the author's.

Photography and artwork of liminal spaces that I had initially seen tended to narrow into a small number of subjects such as swimming pools, airports and hotels and I think this happens because the idea of a liminal spaces works best when presented with both a spacial and a temporal uncanniness and those spaces are the easiest to achieve that with. Also I think alot of bots did their karma farming which certainly does not help
However occasionally an incredible piece rises to the top. One of the last pieces I saw on reddit before leaving was this which I think illustrates the the idea of a liminal space perfectly.
It depicts a scene of a partially stormy beach. The beach is itself liminal because it transitions from land to sea the storm represents a uncanny change in the emotional cadence of the image, clearly showing the influence of cursed images on the format, finally the idea that a beach trip might be interrupted by a storm is also liminal because it puts the story the image tells into a surreal limbo, is this the image of the a fun beach trip or a trip back to the hotel to peer out the gloomy window at the rain.
I think about that image a lot and how I could strive to ever take a shot that captures as much as that piece does.

I am on the younger end of the age distribution here but I see value in learning the history and culture of the space I spend most of my time in. I have actually spend a decent amount of time browsing archived old pages.
However I did not know it was influenced by work documentation designed for nontechnical users. Do you know of any other sources for that kind of work. I would be interested in compiling a collection.

My understanding is that wierdcore is a fairly niche genre. Does anyone know of more mainstream uses of the genre. I am interested in learning more about how it has proliferated into culture.

It hurt me deeply to see their work destroyed.
I begged them to let me have it instead.
I still have their pottery in my home now, inscribed with names of people I have no memory of anymore.
When I look at it I ponder whether they had the right idea all along.

I think the internet and society at large is dying but I am making this my home for some amount of time. I hope I can be a net positive in this community even if I don't think I belong here among the genuinely smart crowd that posts here.
my username hahnudu is composed of the words hah nu and du which mean mind now and devour respectively. I choose it because it represents my constant desire to consume vast amounts of information and build it into a mental database which lets me appear smart. It can also be read as hahnu(dream) and du(devour) which relates to my constant consumption of surrealist media with deep symbolic meaning. If you have an interesting piece of surrealist media, I am especially fond of glitch art and liminal spaces but I can appreciate surrealism in basically any form.
Hmm, That is news to me. None of the websites I checked mentioned a connection to homosexuality

The thing I saw most often was people using the term in reference to pistol shooting but I admit that could be because my browsing habits predisposed my search results toward firearm related answers.
