Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 2, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

and if we fall short, I don't see the Christians doing any better

you can think of it as being a permanent version of basically the hottest boy-anxiously-but-purely-asks, woman-gives-freely-and-usually-a-bit-more-than-he-can-handle-type /ss/ doujin you've ever seen, except instead of just sex the exploration space is infinite

[reference pictures #7 and #8 here, SFW...ish]

that is how the relationship God [the woman] wants to have with you [the shota] is supposed to work; infinite desirability and infinite depth in infinite ways comes to you, for free, in the same ways

sex might not be the best way to illustrate it because of the implications (and Christians have a rather famously bad relationship with it) but Song of Songs does it anyway so IDK lol; it's supposed to feel like losing every single virginity at once to a beautiful woman who takes you to bed simply because you asked her to

at last i truly see

i am sorry i am not good with computer

though in all honestly Pixiv is really annoying when you want to link single image, like every site was 20 years ago which I guess is appropriate for Japan but still

not that Reddit is any better since it replaces all your image links with the hat thing

I was more generally expressing the minor revelation (unironically, thanks for inspiration), not specifically addressing examples, I'm ahem familiar with those. Truly a thinking man's fetish.

As for images, I usually just reupload to catbox for simplicity.

Truly a thinking man's fetish.

I thought that was NTR?

Why did the Christians ever bother with the obviously-pederastic-implications "Father" image when this gem existed in information-space?

Of all the metaphors I ever expected to see used to describe the transcendental nature of heaven, doujin wasn't anywhere near that list. But man, I'm here for it.

Obligatory: fucking weeb. ;)

I didn't know those books were about free hats. Normally they tempt him with a gpu

oh right, I forgot about that stupid broken interaction with Reddit image links

This is what that image is supposed to be- specifically, #8 on that page (#7 works as well).

normally they tempt him with a GPU

Apparently they've been stepping up their game.

I'm more of an _p2 guy, so there's no need to worry about getting into heaven in the first place.

the big titty goth GF is just the more socially-acceptable/PG version of this tendency
she needs to be ugly and hostile-looking because men who want this get really self-conscious the prettier she is

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
