seriously, what the fuck? (post text from [info]nuclearpez)  
* I AM NOT CUTTING THIS AS THIS IS IMPORTANT. I HOPE YOU ALL CARE TO PASS THIS ALONG. I WANT THIS BANNED FROM COLLEGE CAMPUSES.

I was going to sleep but then I happened to catch possibly the most VILE thing to ever be allowed to be sold as far as I am concerned. What is this you ask well...

Stockholm: An Exploration of True Love
So what is this?

Well apparently it's a video game. Here is essentially the jist of what the game looks like:


Now yes, I'm sure there are plenty of pornos that cover the same themes of TORTURING and RAPING women. It is a fetish; I don't claim to support it nor go against it as I do understand it's a dominance thing. But there are quite a few problems I have beyond this. First off, this is represented as a game about LOVE. As the director and creator of this game argued, and I quote:

"The media has been blamed for trying to turn American men into docile, innocuous, weaklings. But in truth, American colleges are just as much to blame. That’s where men really learn to be servile weaklings, and learn that “true love” involves becoming a domesticated, self-abnegating, harmless, overly emotional pussy....It’s time to put the current, officially accepted version of romantic love on trial. Let’s see if it can stand up to the same rigorous analysis, the same comparison to opposing ideas, that every other idea receives in a university setting. It’s time to start a dialogue that fundamentally challenges that skewed version of love."


Also to note in that yes, he wants to bring this game to COLLEGE CAMPUSES.

Apparently he believes this is meant to represent affection. He calls this an artistic statement, but as coming from other resources apparently this man makes a living in creating pornography and well as keeping journals poetry which encourage men to become true men again and take hold over women and turn them into slaves, and through his poems he lives out some of these fantasies which he is.

Sick of me? Well here is a commentary on the subject further...

Commentary about the game and further links

A reviewer's opinion, the video is dark.


the director's blog

I have never done anything to protest, but I would like if anyone on my flist could past this on and we can try to form some way to ban this game from colleges and beyond. I want this man to know that equally women and men do not feel this is a good idea to encourage. As a person who has lived through both dangerous stalker experiences and sexual assault, I feel that I may be rather close to this, but at the same time I feel my precise point is that in not one of these cases does he mention the affects to the women who are SUBJUGATED to any forms of this sort of assault.

Also a related article I just happened to find:
scientists find that women are actually seen LITERALLY as objects when dressed more provocatively

One more...  

If you are reading this right now, you have more luxury than someone in Iran could ever hope for right now. If you are watching TV or a video on youtube, updating your status on Facebook, Tweeting, or even texting your friend, you are lucky. If you are safe in your home, and were able to sleep last night without the sounds of screaming from the rooftops, you need to know and understand what is happening to people just like you in Iran right now.



They are not the enemy. They are a people whose election has been stolen. For the first time in a long time, a voice for change struck the youth of Iran, just as it did for many people in the United States only seven months ago. Hossein Mousavi gained the support of millions of people in Iran as a Presidential candidate. He stands for progressiveness. He supports good relations with the West, and the rest of the world. He is supported with fervor as he challenges the oppressive regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

On Friday, millions of people waited for hours in line to vote in Iran's Presidential election. Later that night, as votes came in, Mousavi was alerted that he was winning by a two-thirds margin. Then there was a change. Suddenly, it was Ahmadinejad who had 68% of the vote - in areas which have been firmly against his political party, he overwhelmingly won. Within three hours, millions of votes were supposedly counted - the victor was Ahmadinejad. Immediately fraud was suspected - there was no way he could have won by this great a margin with such oppposition. Since then, reports have been coming in of burned ballots, or in some cases numbers being given without any being counted at all. None of this is confirmed, but what happened next seems to do the trick.



The people of Iran took the streets and rooftops. They shout "Death to the dictator" and "Allah o akbar." They join together to protest. Peacefully. The police attack some, but they stay strong. Riots happen, and the shouting continues all night. Text messaging was disabled, as was satellite, and websites which can spread information such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and the BBC are blocked in the country. At five in the morning, Arabic speaking soldiers (the people of Iran speak Farsi) stormed a university in the capital city of Tehran. While sleeping in their dormitories, five students were killed. Others were wounded. These soldiers are thought to have been brought in by Ahmadinejad from Lebanon. Today, 192 of the university's faculty have resigned in protest.

Mousavi requested that the government allow a peaceful rally to occur this morning - the request was denied. Many thought that it would not happen. Nevertheless, first a few thousand people showed up in the streets of Tehran. At this point, it is estimated that 1 to 2 million people were there. Mousavi spoke on the top of a car. The police stood by. For a few hours, everything was peaceful. Right now, the same cannot be said. Reports of injuries, shootings, and killings are flooding the internet. Twitter has been an invaluable source - those in Iran who still know how to access it are updating regularly with picture evidence. People are being brutally beaten. Tonight will be another night without rest for so many in Iran no older than I am. Tonight there is a Green Revolution.

Heaven help us now, come crashing down ;; [HELP THE IRANIAN PEOPLE!]  


i realize now i do not fear death... i fear my daughter will not be free when i die


- From the Twitter of an Iranian medical student


"If it bothers you so much, then why don't you stop watching?" seems to be the question of the last few days from my friends and family who know how invested I have become in the cause of the Iranian people (as I have explained in great detail here) The answer is simple: one day of caring is not enough. We must be the voice for the people of Iran who would otherwise be silenced. They are without reliable news sources, they are without mobile phone calls, text messaging, facebook, twitter, youtube, AIM, Yahoo, Google, and pretty much every other useful outlet for information you can think of. Yet they persist on the streets and on the internet in any way they can. The least we can do, whether we are across continents, oceans, or time zones, is spread their words safely.



My death is irrelevant.Wht is important is that u do not forget my words.We want freedom.i will die 4that


- From the Twitter of a protester in Tehran


Right now, brave men and women in Iran, both young and old, are sacrificing their lives for their voices to be heard. They must fear not only the police, but also the Basij -a force of men loyal to the government who plant themselves among crowds in plain clothes in order to discretely attack protesters and incite chaos.The protesters are peaceful. They mass together in crowds that are reported to grow in size every day. At night they have very few, if any, safe places to stay. Houses with satelite dishes were attacked by the Basij tonight, and during the 50 minutes of Twitter's maintenance, another university was attacked.



140 characters is a novel when you're being shot at.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?



  1. The most obvious thing to do is stay informed. Keep an eye on reliable sources on Twitter, refresh blogs and news sites that are covering the stories.

  2. If you are on twitter, retweet information from reliable twitters, but REMOVE THE USERNAME if they are in Iran. People have died because of the lack of responsibility by fellow tweeters and the media in this front. They can be tracked down by the government of Iran.

  3. Spread the information elsewhere. Repost this article or write your own on Facebook, Myspace, Tumblr, or anywhere else you can think of. If you write your own, make sure you are concise and accurate. Link to your sources for people to learn more.

  4. Change your location on Twitter to Tehran or Iran, and your time zone to GMT +3:30.

  5. DO NOT auto-refresh and take down websites, even if you are asked. It slows down the internet for the rest of the people in Iran.

  6. If you make a proxy DO NOT post it publically, otherwise it is useless. Send it in a direct message to a trusted source.

  7. DO NOT spam the hash tag #IranElection with useless things to "confuse the government". This does not help at all.
