Don’t you mean “pedantry” or “pedanticism”? [holds out hand for jerk crown]

Hoisted on my on pedantism...

You don’t need to tiptoe around the fact that on this point (and setting the Spacey topic aside entirely), she’s right. The expansion of the definition of sexual assault has only served to render the phrase less valuable and impactful. Some of the statistics we read include experiences like being made to feel…

‘And sure, “There’s a difference between a slap on the ass and rape,” but an unwanted assault is an assault. Groping someone’s genitals is a form of forcing someone “into a sexual encounter.”

“How can I make this defense of sexual assault about my core stance against the Baby Boomer Generation?”

What if he’s innocent?

And imagine if there’s a year when all women or non-binary people are nominated for an award, the histrionic “Hollywood goes full misandry, they’re trying to end men!” articles will drown us all in their sheer abundance.

Just look at the Best Director nominees and winners. Because that’s what gender neutral awards will look like. There will be years when only men will be nominated, but a non-male will win once or twice a decade so people can point at that and say “see? There is no sexism in Hollywood!”

Wait, someone can’t mention Palestine without reciting a litany of other global issues? That’s ridiculous. If someone wants to discuss Ukraine, I don’t demand they discuss Uyghurs. Belief that discussing one topic at a time is invalid is crap. So I agree that selective outrage is bullshit; it’s a bullshit derailment…

I’m Palestinian, you dumb motherfucker. I’m pissed about all the shit you listed, but I think I’m allowed to specifically be upset about ethnic cleansing and war crimes being committed against my people.

It’s Zod the Zionist - all that poor cunt has going for himself is that, thanks to a minor quirk of ethnicity, there’s a chance that he could move to a country where he’s not a massive loser - hence his hard-on for colonisation and genocide.

Eh, give Bibi and his Torah Taliban mates time. They’re rather busy ethnically-cleansing at the moment.

How many Palestinian children would you like to see killed to punish Hamas? Wha’s the number? 20,000? 30,000?

oh get fu©ked. Hamas’ anti LGBTQ+ stance is not, or ever will be, an excuse for the genocide of an innocent population. And you’re trying to use it as a justification by bringing it up here.

Chuck D was 60 when the last Public Enemy album came out in 2020 and it was a banger which included “State of the Union (STFU)“ that didn’t mince words about a certain felon we all love. Also included a nearly 80 year old George Clinton on multiple tracks.

The thing with the popular vote is that people can vote as many times as they like, so a small contingent of passionately pro-Israel people can easily sway the vote, whereas a country would have to be UNIVERSALLY disliked in order for it to affect the vote negatively. Like the UK.

Both Ukraine and Israel got obvious political points, because both songs were very mid and rightfully didn’t get that much jury points.

Germany gave Israel 12 points, because Germany really hates Palestinians.

Gotta ask: is it legitimately your position that Israel is the 100%-uncontested, unilateral “good guy” in this situation? No notes on anything? Everything they’re doing is clearly good, and right, and could not be done better?

“Between January 1 and October 6, Israeli security forces killed more Palestinians in the West Bank – 192, including 40 children – than in any other year since 2005, when the United Nations began systematically recording fatalities.”
