[QUOTE=Thlis;50495100]Apparently Xhamster is also blocking North Carolina users in protest.

So yeah, whoever is running that site is a complete mental invalid.[/QUOTE]

My impression is that they realize that silly stunts like this are the best marketing they can get. The taboo aspect of pornography means that normal word of mouth communication about providers is generally limited.

It's a lot harder to come up with a funny, personal, and proud image for your brand like Pornhub. Pornhub will never cease to amaze me with the self-awareness and apathy towards the taboos of porn. Even though I don't use Pornhub, they actually seem like they enjoy what they do and advocate for porn being treated more normal. Oh, and they also seem like they're interested in giving power to indie pornstars and stuff too. They have that community thing with verified users.

XHamster is probably banking on the idea that people will view their site to see what all the hooplah is all about all while giving them ad revenue. Goes back to that mentioning of insincerity I did earlier. It hurts feminism and females.

What the hell happened when I wasn't looking?

Whenever I've heard someone talking about the friendzone, it's always about how they weren't able to get into a romantic relationship with someone because they just wanted to be friends, not that they just wanted sex with that person.

Well, that's what a "nice guy" will tell you. I've seen people put up the veil of "just wanting a relationship" when their anger really boils down to "just wanting a sexual relationship". You'll see a lot with people who won't open up about their attractions with the people they're attracted to - they want to bone but won't say anything until it's absolutely too late as the other person has moved on. The friend zone is something that people put themselves into by not expressing sexual interest early on, and because it's a lot easier to say that the other person is in the wrong and that they're the victims, they won't improve until someone points it out for them.

That's not what the concept of the friend zone is, at all.

Oh, also, rape culture doesn't exist outside of small kabals of awful people (I.E. some frats)

That's literaly the first time I've heard about friendzoning being just because you "didn't get to have sex".
And this is coming from someone who got friendzoned.

Which shouldn't be that odd...

That's when you like someone and they don't like you back so you're just friends.

Instead of rephrasing what I wrote, I'll just link to The Biggest Problem in the Universe, which pretty much has my two cents on the whole thing.

[url=http://thebiggestproblemintheuniverse.com/episode-73/]Episode 73: Friend-zoned Pussies and The Pope[/url]

Trying to separate sex from the friend zone is like trying to separate sex from a relationship - it's not gonna happen. People might be romantically interested in someone but people also want to bang. And I think that the lack of sex drives some people absolutely mad. I've seen with with people who put themselves in the friend zone.

[Thlis]

[QUOTE=wauterboi;50505850]It absolutely is.

The friend zone refers to when a friend tries really hard to please a woman but gets stuck in an everlasting friendship - he can't move up to actually being their partner. That friend and sometimes the people around that person start looking at the woman as a problem, suggesting that he was super nice and [I]deserves[/I] something for it. And if you're being nice with the end goal of receiving something, you're a dick.

What is a major component of the frustration of being in the friend zone is sex, because a lot of people who claim to be in the friend zone are people who haven't expressed a sexual interest in the other person at all. They withhold all that stuff until the very end (if at all), and just continue being nice, because they think women aren't interested in sex. It's a lot of shitty assumptions that can be heavily based on a drive for banging.

The truth is, women want that shit too. And women are interested in whether or not you want it too. And if you're not going to make that apparent, they have no reason to infer that you want it.

I think the problem is that a lot of us end up taught that women are trophies that you win - that if you act nice enough you're supposed to get something in the end. But that isn't reality. Movies don't reflect reality - there aren't a lot of movies where the guy fighting for his princess finds out that the princess just isn't into them. There aren't a lot of classic stories where the guy ends up feeling friend zoned and builds up this ridiculous aggression that could only be built if he was convinced that he did nothing wrong and that the universe is for them.

And furthermore, this idea of sex as a selfish transaction is not good either. The idea of being rewarded sex shows a twisted view of how the world is supposed to work. No one should view relationships like this, and I think people who end up feeling friend zoned quite often look through these distorted lenses. Sex is a shared experience that is supposed to be beneficial for both partners, just as a romantic relationship is, and just as a lot of life should be.[/QUOTE]

This sounds like complete projection and I have no idea where the following comes from
[quote]I think the problem is that a lot of us end up taught that women are trophies that you win [/quote]
I don't ever remember being "taught" that, infact the exact opposite was done. That quote is very Sarkeesian-esque.

You have taken a VERY simple 2D concept and jammed a lot of projected ideals into it.

Or maybe you are looking at this ass backwards and that the concept of friend zone may also be first and foremost a desire for a relationship. Or do lonely people not exist and in reality they are all just horndogs?

Furthermore, if a girl is friendzoned by a guy (which I am willing to bet happens a fair bit as well) is that also rape culture?

I don't really care if what I say is Sarkeesian-esque. A lot of the ideas I mentioned come from Maddox, and other people that are absolutely not Sarkeesian.

There's probably some friend zoned people that are just lonely, but how many of them are lonely and upset about not having an opportunity to bang? How many of them are not socially versed? How many of them see women as something you get instead of someone you meet and bond with?

I mean, think of the mentality behind even classifying yourself as friendzoned - you could have said, "She obligated for us to be friends." But a lot of people that self classify say it with a certain kind of venom - they're angry. They're upset that they aren't rewarding them for being nice. And that's a problem. You can try and separate sex out of the equation, but I don't know how, because sex is an important component of relationships and something that is mostly exclusive to the type of relationships kept away from people who are "friendzoned".

The friend zone is where you're friends with someone that you want to be dating. That's it, there's nothing more to it, 99% of people "in the friend zone" don't believe they're owed anything. I personally think that the friend zone is a myth because I've "escaped" from "the friend zone" a few times because it's not a concrete thing but I've never ever ever met a single person who thought they were owed sex in-person and the only people I've seen profess such opinions online were extremely autistic.

That has no basis or foundation. It is an entirely assumed argument. You are arguing that if you are ever in a situation of reciprocated romantic or sexual attraction, you are automatically viewing women as trophies.

Yet again, I have no idea where you derive this from. You are assuming again that all people that have unrequited affection are primarily focused on sex when it could just as easily be romantic affection.

I mean your entire argument is so tenuosly connected to the concept of being in a friend zone. I think you are mixing up the concept of friendzone and the concept of "Nice Guy" which are two separate things.

I think it all boils down to how you approach it. Someone that gets [I]angry[/I] over it is being super ridiculous. Anger and extreme bitterness is what I think exemplifies the friend zone. On the other hand, someone that is merely [I]saddened[/I] over the failed attempt is probably more sincere.

I've talked with the angry types, and I've yet to see someone use the term "friend zone" in a way that wasn't out of anger. I've never heard anyone talk about the friend zone that wasn't out of anger. There were the silly memes going around about the person who was in the friend zone and in denial, but I haven't seen anyone use "friend zone" in any other context than anger.

I think that when people try to use the term "friend zone" to describe their situation, they're already off to a bad start in perceiving the world around them. There doesn't need to be a term with the negative connotation that "friend zone" possesses, and it's better to just say they wanted to be friends.
