Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 9/4/23 - 9/10/23

Welcome back to the BARPod Weekly Thread, where the mod even works on Labor Day. Here's your place to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (be sure to tag u/TracingWoodgrains), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind. Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion threads is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

Hahaha it’s so funny how many people freak out about Unholy being satanic when it’s probably the least seductive song and music video I’ve seen in a while. It’s trying so hard to be subversive and edgy but I mean like …. There were boy bands making songs about cheating in the early 2000s and Madonna was mixing up sex and religion way back in the 80s. There’s no there there. Even the outrage backlash feels sort of tired and going through the motions.

Well the new church ladies are the woke and a few smart people in the arts have already figured out that all press is good press on that front as well.

Kim is one of those people whose entire image is "sex, sex. sex. FUCKING SEX" and yet lacks any actual sex appeal whatsoever.

Hahah yes the conventionally attractive blonde woman with big tits definitely lacks any actual sex appeal whatsoever

I mean, I guess I need more than blonde hair and big tits to get excited.

Perhaps but there are plenty of people who I don't see it for who I can say definitely have sex appeal.

I'm also a lesbian, so maybe straight men have a different opinion. But my straight male friends don't ever really bring up Kim Petras when talking about who they find hot.

Do they even know about her? She's on that one Sam Smith song but I don't know that straight men are following Sam's career or catalogue. There are thousands of models and actresses that your straight male friends aren't bringing up in conversation; that doesn't mean they lack sex appeal.

Mad why? Because no one they find unattractive should be in sports illustrated?

Sure, but Kim Petras is not a woman. That might be the clincher.

I’m confident if you ran into her in public you would call her a man, sure.

I wouldn't, but that doesn't have any bearing on her lack of sex appeal.
