JFC, the Christian Taliban, in nearly the highest office of the land. What the hell did we do? November cannot come fast enough. Dude calls his wife “mother,” FFS....

I’ve spent the last few days daydreaming about how much fun we would have had talking about Kid Gorgeous if the Kinjapocalypse hadn’t salted the earth of the AV Club comment section.

Considering the things they call women, again, I give not one single fuck. If you want to practice compassion, go for it; I’m never going to change their minds.

I have plenty of compassion for confused young people who may be on a bad path but can be reached. Not for men who have a toxic sense of entitlement. Just like I can sympathize with someone who struggles with controlling violent tendencies but not someone who beats the crap out of his wife because he thinks he’s in…

I like how a site that thinks South Park and Rick and Morty are the heights of comedy are suddenly clutching their pearls over “crassness” when it comes from a woman.

What the fuck is even your point? You didn’t give a single example, but you seem pretty self-satisfied.

So basically, you, Prince Ruprecht, are jumping to conclusions without actually being familiar with the basic facts of what happened?

Did you even read? Like at all? She said her eye makeup was PERFECT. I’m not sure where you’re from and I’m not going to assume, but saying someone’s eye makeup is perfect is not... Really... Appearance shaming here. :-)

She didn’t insult her appearance at all. If you think she did that’s on you and you’re buying into what these assholes want you to believe. Her use of “perfect smoky eye” was saying that it was created from the ashes of truth burning and that was it in regards to appearance.

Jesus, dude. No, it didn’t. It made is illegal to use the wrong pronouns, intentionally, repeatedly. It doesn’t require pronoun usage.

Because your “principle” is completely twisting what is actually happening. Intentionally misgendering people potentially opens you up to harassment/discrimination lawsuits. That isn’t compelled speech. No one is forcing anyone to say anything. This isn’t demanding the recitation of the pledge of allegiance. If you…

If you consistently called a black man the n-word, there’s a very good shot that yes, you’d get sued for harassment and/or discrimination, depending on the situation.  Just like how New York won’t fine you for misuse of a pronoun without repeated acts of malicious intent.

Deliberately and consistently the wrong pronoun is basically the same thing as deliberately and consistently using a slur against somebody. It’s not “compelled speech”. You could just ya know, not refer to somebody by a pronoun. 

I know you upper-middle-class white boys, like ‘satirist’ Stephen Colbert, are all gunning for Kanye at the moment

“not a good girl.”

zer or zey or the other 71 registered genders

Do you agree that compelled speech should not be enforced? If I refuse to use your preferred pronoun should I be fined? Should I be imprisoned?

Yes. Canada wanted to amend its human rights code to include gender identity as a protected class (not sure that’s the right terminology) alongside sex and race. Peterson argued that this meant he could be sued for discrimination for purposefully misgendering someone.

To which my response is, yes, you could. Cry me a…

But all those gimmicks he does? The lipsync battles and all the other games? They’re fun.

“influenced by Family Guy, to its great benefit” is a thing that is never true about anything, not even Family Guy.
