Imposed Ventral Impalement

Ventral Impalement which happens to be imposed. Grindcore band emerging from the ghetto of St.Pölten, Austria.

I can't believe that Imposed Ventral Impalement put out a new EP. My favourite song's called "Eating the Hooker I Just Killed"

Imposed Consensus

A forced agreement achieved through power, pressure, or elimination of alternatives, presented as genuine unanimity. In Imposed Consensus, dissenting voices are silenced—not convinced, but removed. Meetings where everyone "agrees" because anyone who might disagree wasn't invited, was intimidated beforehand, or learned long ago that speaking up costs more than silence. The consensus is real in appearance but hollow in substance, a collective yes that masks individual no's that were never permitted to speak.

"The board voted unanimously to approve the CEO's plan. What the minutes don't show: anyone who questioned it was 'reorganized' out of their position last quarter. That's Imposed Consensus—unanimity through elimination, agreement through fear. The vote was unanimous; the freedom wasn't."

Imposed Consent

Consent that isn't freely given but forced through power differentials, threats, or circumstances that make refusal impossible or catastrophic. Unlike genuine consent, which requires meaningful choice and the ability to say no, Imposed Consent occurs when the costs of refusal are so high that agreement is the only viable option. "You can refuse, but you'll lose your job, your benefits, your housing, your safety." The consent is real in form—you said yes—but hollow in substance because the alternative was unthinkable. Imposed Consent is the currency of power disguised as agreement, the yes that means "I have no choice."

"She signed the contract, yes. But her landlord knew she had nowhere else to go, knew the alternative was homelessness, and structured the agreement accordingly. That's Imposed Consent: technically voluntary, practically forced. The signature is real; the freedom behind it isn't."

Imposed Discourse

The forcible limitation of what can be said, thought, or discussed—through censorship, punishment, threat, or structural exclusion. Imposed Discourse doesn't just shape opinions; it shapes the very terms of debate, the questions that can be asked, the frameworks that can be used. Certain topics are forbidden. Certain questions cannot be raised. Certain frameworks are simply unavailable because anyone who used them would face consequences. Imposed Discourse is power drawing the boundaries of speech, then pretending those boundaries are natural.

"You can discuss labor conditions, sure. But if you mention unionizing, security escorts you out. That's Imposed Discourse: the boundaries of acceptable speech drawn by power, enforced by threat. You can say anything—as long as it's within the lines they drew when you weren't looking."

self-imposed Rick Roll 

The act of Rick Rolling yourself just because you have that damn song stuck in your head.

"Dude I got fuckin Rick Rolled again."

"It's happened to me so many times now i just have self-imposed Rick Rolls."

self-imposed exhale 

Where you are trying to hold in a deep breath but then unintentionally do something that obliges you to "pop" whether ya want to or not.

I was competing with a couple of friends to see who could hold his breath the longest, and I was reading the daily newspaper-comics to distract me from my respiratory discomfort. Then I read a cartoon that really struck me funny and so I hadda laugh --- talk about self-imposed exhale!

self imposed pout

The fishy faced pout that girls do when taking pictures of themselves either in the mirror or holding the camera out in front of them.

She can't ever take a picture without a self imposed pout...
