You know what fueled the “Anti-SJW” Movement? The “SJW’s”did.

Honest question here, why does it feel like every male sexual health story on here has to have at least some level of patronising or hot take tone written into it?
“it’s pretty much Peak Cisnormativity and carries a stench of TERFiness”
So when one of Subnautica’s devs said some right-wing shit on his personal twitter and was fired you all erupted in applause because hey, racism, but when a woman with a mindblowingly high superiority complex say just as toxic shit you’re all like ‘oh no, impossible precedent’? Cool double standards you got there.
What problem is this anyway in sheer numbers? There are about 3.4 million teachers in the US (as of 2012). 1 in 250 adults is believed to be transgender, which means that we might talk about 14.000 people in all of the US. In other words, most parents, students and fellow teachers will never see a transgender teacher…
To hear someone speaking of microagressions in 2018, without being sarcastic, is laughable. Let’s put aside all the real problems in this world to listen to a privliged adult talk about perceived slights and their feelings about those perceived slights. It’s like one enourmous therapy session.
So what was the point of this? It appears to be some etymologistic literary ego stroking, but you’re clearly not a social anthropologist, nor a particularly gifted writer. I ask (and critique) because what you did here was solely give intent-fuel to undeducted racists, while simultaneously fomenting even more social…
When you have to inform people about the “racist” origins of certain phrases, then they are likely no longer offensive or racist in meaning. So there’s really no reason to police them in the first place, unless you’re just looking for attention.
Why don’t we apply the same logic to obscenities, then?
I’m a massive Larian fan from back in the Divine Divinity days, loved Divinity 2, but Original Sin didn’t do much for me. Original Sin 2 fixes a lot of the problems (the god damned forced co-op character thing), but for some reason I just can’t seem to play for more than an hour at a time. I want to just sink my teeth…
I’m enthusiastically digging into Divinity: Original Sin 2 - I waited patiently until release, it was so hard to do!
That was a very sof t statement by ESPN, considering her lenghty rant against a sitting president (factually correct though). This is not something any employer catering to a very broad and diverse base wants to hear from a pretty prominent employee. She still has a job and as of now, she hasn’t been supended. If she…
Yeah, the “apparently famous” remark rubs me the wrong way. You don’t necessarily have to be a tennis fan to review a tennis movie, but that sort of comment suggests that Dowd doesn’t take the subject matter seriously. It doesn’t assure that a movie about it will be good, but there’s no denying that it was a rather…
McEnroe doesn’t have beef with Williams; he took the bait and gave an indelicate (but largely correct) answer to a question designed for that purpose, and Williams understandably didn’t like the way it sounded, even though she had previously expressed sentiments indicating the real point of contention, aside from…
My guess is, the writer is taking McEnroe’s beef with Serena Williams into consideration (and people’s reaction to it) when making this judgment/statement rather than talking about it historically. I’m also guessing other than “in the film,” he’s never seen McEnroe or Borg play.
Probably because you call racists “white people” and a lot of people who aren’t racist identify as white people. It’s not unreasonable for people to take it the wrong way even though we both understand the difference between systemic whiteness and regular white folk.
Except you did not make this post about the dead girl, you made it about the plight of black people. You tap danced around the fact that the woman who died was white, along with the 2 white police officers, not to mention the countless white counter-protesters who were injured. Are you trying to suggest they…
Maybe because approximately every post around here tells me that I am to blame simply because I am white, no matter my beliefs or actions.
Also, non-racists are out here killing people, in vastly larger numbers.
The woman who died yesterday was white.
Honestly, this is the type of shit the beats me down even more than white supremacist being emboldened by a sentient burnt orange Crayola crayon.
