This is a nice post and all, but I'm guessing that the only reason anyone is even arguing about this because these people believe 3D is superior to 2D.
The kids on reddit are in for a very harsh wake-up call when they get out in the real world, where the political center is significantly far from reddit's political center, and where a 1 vote majority doesn't let you completely silence everyone who disagrees with you.
Especially when they get jobs. I think my biggest surprise when I first started working was that workplaces aren’t typically the stale, politically correct place the internet would make you think they are. Even professionals make vulgar jokes at times, and it will really surprise these people
Most of the vulgar workplaces will be retail. When I worked at a theater or at a store, even the managers and supervisors really didn’t give a shit about what they joked about lol
/u/147C - eight day old account, went straight to GCJ to whine about dumb shit like how Drumpf is a meanie and how anti-SJWs are the real enemy. Keep yourself safe, immediately.
Also you're right, as long as someone makes rules far enough away from you, you don't have to follow them , be it real life or on the internet. Maybe that's why you have the 8 day old account LOL. #MakeGCJGreatAgain. Get rid of all the circlebroke gamerghazi losers who infested it a year or two ago.
Every day, a bunch of kids discover the internet for the first time. I've proposed solutions to stop this from happening but those bureaucrats in washington just won't listen, god damnit!
As legions of trannys march towards Obsidians headquarters carrying their fixed mayonets and genderqueer banners, the Obsidian employees barricade the front doors in a panicked flurry. They then go up to the rooftop, and look down upon the vast swaths of trannys as one mega-tranny appears from the crowd. It screams in its gender-neutral voice "I AM OPTIMUS-TRANS. APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR SINS NOW OR BURN IN GENDERQUEER FLAMES." Its tone was harsh and quick, and instilled fear in many obsidian employees. The employees filled buckets with black printer ink as others fashion makeshift nun-chucks out of keyboards and mouses. One employee screams back at the mega-tranny saying "YOU WILL NEVER TAKE US. OUR WALLS ARE STRONG AND TESTICLES MANY." The trannys grow enraged by the speak of testicles, many of them lacking such. The trannys begin to storm the walls, climbing the building in grotesque fashion. The employees mounted thier defenses, pouring black ink down on the trannys, turning them black. The trannys then start profusely apologizing to the black trannys about privilege and such trivial things before running away. As the hordes of trannys fled from the building in fear of insulting a black tranny, mega-tranny screamed " YOU HAVE BESTED US THIS TIME, BUT WE WILL BE BACK!"
It misses the part where Obsidian launches a successful counter-attack by sending them anime figures, hentai douijins straight from Japan, and tendies.
A lot of the reason we switched to using the term transgender was to include everybody on the gender spectrum. We're all transgender. Some are closer to the binary and some are more in the middle. It's all one big umbrella.
I'm all for trans rights, but this is criminally stupis. Gender identity has a low-level neurobiological basis, you can't just be a medium rare female or whatever. People like this are either confusing gender identity with gender expressiin/roles or blatantly making shit up to join the LGBT club and feel special.
It's the latter, and that's why the percentage of trans Americans has doubled in recent years.
Sadly, the population of people actually suffering gender dysphoria are having their movement overwhelmed by a bunch of bandwagoners who are competing with each other to see who is the most progressive and oppressed.
dude it's fucking ridiculous how much this bullshit happens. my high school had an entire stupid-ass cliqué of kids who thought that if they colored their hair and waved their hands a bit more in conversation they were definitely LGBT.
I was referring to gender-variant people, but I can understand how you might have missed that since you're clearly lacking in critical thinking ability...
No, you misunderstood me entirely. I have plenty of neurotransmitters (note that these aren't the same thing as neurons), I just elect to use them for things that actually matter, as opposed to keeping up with your faggot jargon.
I mean c'mon, you're the one claiming to be worried about wasting your precious bodily fluids neurotransmitters trying to keep up. When it really doesn't take any effort.
It comes down to you just don't want to because you want to be an asshole. As I keep saying, you're allowed to do that (hell, on r/drama it's kind of expected). But shockingly people are going to call you an asshole for it.
Seriously, just quit the rationalizing and roll with it. "Yep, I'm an asshole, and I don't care, and that's why people don't like me but fuck them!"
When it becomes part of popular culture, casually undermining the genderqueer becomes part of popular culture. Which sucks. The people who joke at the expense on genderqueer people should be publicly shamed. And no, attack helicopter is not a gender. If a candidate in future elections promises to deal with these situations, I will vote for him/her.
When it becomes part of popular culture, casually undermining the genderqueer becomes part of popular culture. Which sucks. The people who joke at the expense on genderqueer people should be publicly shamed.
This will sound like a joke, but its so that they don't have to assume what the person's gender is. It's considered the "acceptable" gender-neutral term for a group of people.
That's not policing - like I said, you're certainly allowed to. I think thats extremely important. But yes, it's not exactly controversial to say that white people saying "nigger" are assholes. I didn't realize before that I was being pinged from r/drama, so yes, I'm aware that straight people saying "faggot" is much more acceptable than the norm here, though (and perhaps I'm wrong) I'm pretty sure most of drama are aware that they're assholes, but enjoy it
to seriouspost for a second, your failures are a) not understanding that "policing," in this usage, does not require the involvement of actual police or other explicitly designated social apparatuses of repression, and b) that "language policing" is something basically every functional social group, from the family unit on up, does to some extent. your kneejerk need to deny any sort of tendency towards it on your part, while you are literally doing it, mind, is retarded not only because you fail to understand that such an characterization is not inherently objectionable, but because, having failed to understand the terms of the discussion, you attempt to defend yourself based on an assertion in support of speech rights, when the subject at hand is speech norms
It's not about "policing" language is what I'm saying. Although I can think of situations that could legitimately be described as such, I disagree that telling someone they're being an asshole when they're being an asshole counts. I consider it a way for assholes to attempt to shut down criticism of themselves.
You equate saying a word to being an arsehole. That's you criticising language, shaming for daring to utter those words. You also think it is fine for insiders to use those words and you can be the judge of who is inside and outside. That judgement combined with selective shaming/abuse of offenders is the policing.
It's not just saying the words; they're not swears. It's context.
If someone is knowingly saying things that hurt a particular subgroup of people, what would you call that? If they're doing it unknowingly and someone says "please stop, that hurts" and they refuse to stop because they don't take the other person's pain seriously, what would you call that?
And no, it's not necessarily "fine" for insiders, but it's more of a different type of problem. Are you honestly going to argue that a black person saying nigger is the same as a white person saying nigger?
