It’s not a double standard. When people complain about stuff like this, it’s in the context of American and European movie makers making the vast majority of their characters white — because white characters are seen as more “relatable” and “appealing”. And that’s fucked up. That’s what people are trying to fight when…

Are we not allowed to spend money on things that are bad

Nothing is “police” unless it has authority over you. Your government does have authority over you. Video games are a thing you choose to participate in.

I think it needs to be funny to qualify as a joke

Yeah but there’s a difference between wanting nice aesthetics (which vanilla Overwatch has) and feeling like you must collect all the options. The later seems... maladaptive.

You can be concerned about that. But you should keep in mind the vast majority of rapists, abusers, and harrassers are never punished. The scale is tipped very far a certain way and it’s not in the direction you fear.

That’s a standard for the courts, not social interactions.

One of the core problems is that even if it is a simple misunderstanding, HR departments don’t take action to try to help parties behave more appropriately in the future.

I feel exactly the same. If anyone wants to watch FMA, I tell them they need to watch both; the original first to get attached to the characters, and brotherhood second to get a better backstory and ending.

Because they think they’re entitled to sex from whichever women they want, so when those women sleep with other people and not them they’re having sex with people they’re not “supposed to”, hence “sluts”.

That’s an easy thing to say but it totally discounts people doing acts that do involve a great deal of sacrifice and risk to help others. Even if they get something in return, they should be lauded for taking that on; it’s a meaningful concept.

Yeah, Chidi is kind of the embodiment of a bystander.

If they don’t take it on contingency, they don’t believe you can win *money*.

Uh, the woman whose story was repeated *did* go to the cops. It’s in the story.

Rapes rarely leave evidence; when they do, it’s a trying process to try and collect and report it. Women are often mocked or disbelieved.

It’s necessary.

I’ve seen a lot of arguments is that a big reason for homophobia is that men are afraid, whether aware of it or not, that the violence they’ve been able to perpetuate against women will now be turned against them. It’s a subconscious awareness of the predatory attitude so many men have taken when it comes to sex, and…

What causes PTSD isn’t like, an objective line. People are impacted differently by different events. You have higher psychological resilience to getting groped by strangers than some other people do. To other people, that’s violating and frightening and it sticks with them. Their feelings aren’t wrong.

Aaaand what makes you an expert on how all PTSD works, exactly?

Why do you believe all tattoos are trashy, other than someone told you that and you believed them
