    How can it not be his house when he matches the cat furniture so well? Checkmate, human.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally here for it,

      But I’m not entirely sure what context that’s adding to the subject of the image

      I do appreciate the work he does but his obsession with calling bad consumer practices rape is very manospheric and minimises actual SA and rape.

        I went through a similar situation on reddit. I was part of a small community, and the sub creator decided to talk about how certain vendors were “raping us” with overpricing.

        I pointed it out, and they went full blast on me, called me evil, claimed to be a survivor, and did all possible mental gymnastics to blame me for making their life harder (because they were “having panic attacks” having been reminded of their victimhood by my callout?).

        I don’t know… but at least all the adjacent subs used my case as a bullet point in his multi-sub ban argument.

        Meanwhile, I object the normalisation of shitty, dishonest businesses changing the terms on their customers and not taking ‘no’ for an answer.

          Then don’t you think it’s a shame that someone who is so outspoken against those practices is alienating a chunk of his audience?

              Can you explain why you believe the word “rape” needs to be said in this context?

          As someone who was raped and violently sexually assaulted, I’d very much appreciate you not doing that. The impact of those things are incomparable to the electric bill that was forced on me from before I moved into my property. Money might be the kind of thing that you need to properly support life but sexually violation of the body requires completely adjusting your thought patterns. It becomes a core part of your humanity. Money is money.

      Ok sure, but is he breaking into people’s houses to give greenies to strange cats and fix random boards?

    My neighbour’s cat (Luna) does the same. She lives dangerously because my cat (Kika) is fed up with this shit.

    AND NO, LUNA, I’M NOT PETTING YOU. Stop asking. You’re getting out.
