The F-35, at 50 million per airframe has now been flying for 15 years, and is one of the most controversial planes in existence. Critics constantly cite it's spiraling costs. And yet, in 15 years of flying the F-35 has lost 4 airframes, and killed one pilot, making it one of the safest planes flying today.

But if so why is the plane so controversial? In this video we briefly examine the Woozle effect, the effect by which the media, and those that cite the media, simply quote each other as a source without ever truly fact checking if what they publish is genuine or not, and have, for years, been unintentionally broadcasting Russian propaganda as factual claims about Americas new fighter jet.

    wish people like this would be honest about wanting to fuck the plane. like, they've edited the heart eyes onto the jet and everything. just be normal and make aeromorph porn like the rest of us instead of spouting deranged nonsense for 40 minutes

      It's one of my personal theories that objectophilia is like waaaaaaaaaaay more common than you'd think based on it only ever being presented in some odd news story about a guy who goes full in on it and it drives a surprisingly large part of politics.

      And if we only managed to remove the kink shaming maybe these people'd be content to build an F35 Model to masturbate with instead of doing this shit
