Oof, wait until you watch. You might want to reshape what you say about ross >.>

No, it’s ONLY the reaction that’s bad, not the action. Talking about the backlash ignores their actual claims. Just like when people use an analogy in an argument, all people end up doing is discussing whether the analogy is valid (and yes I can see what I’m doing)

Hairlines are the closet I can tell without pulling out calipers to measure margins between nose and eye

Are they doing a switcheroo? I never realized how I could just squint and not tell them apart

As they should! The only thing I hate about bad Its Always Sunny fans are when they screenshot the blackface and say HAHA it’s so funny. Because screenshots literally just taking the whole context of the show away. They ruin their own case by saying “it makes sense in context” by... removing the context

Fuck off

Oh yeah, that’s some bullshit. I was coming from the movies though where there’s no other real hints of existence of supers. Just mutants. 

wow really? that’s your argument? do you think this is a smart or clever counterexample rather than an absurd nitpick that goes against my whole point of being afraid of peopel that have REALITY-BREAKING POWERS. Tell me when huntingtons disease will warp space-time. You’re assuming all mutations == mutants. That’s a…

I don’t think I’ve seen such a textbook case of slippery slope fallacy in the wild in a while

thanks i hate it. the same sort of squick I get from trypophobia

True, poor Beak might have to register but I don’t see that too onerous a restriction. I would probably end up with having an independent panel of experts or something determine whether someone’s mutant powers is enough of a threat to warrant registration (though then there might be a Slumdog Millionaire moment where…

True, I was solely basing my knowledge of X-Men from the movies, so there’s decades of stuff I can be missing. I still think you can assume someone is good and still want the thing that makes them incredibly dangerous to be controlled.

I’m not asking for it to be a perfect match. I don’t think I ever did. I’m just…

“you have to define what a superpower is”

Cue major eyeroll

That’s a multiverse issue AND still doesn’t empathize with people with no powers at all at the whim of not knowing if the person they’re talking to can read their mind or control them. 

Right, but allegories still have to have their central metaphors work and this breaks down completely to me. Once you start adding on all these additional stipulations, then it becomes a mess. You’re also still looking from the vantage point of assuming you have powers. But you’re most likely not in that privileged…

We also don’t live in a world with powers that can CONTROL THE FUCKING WEATHER. It’s materially different. The analogy falls apart.

This is where the metaphor for X-Men and racial/sexual/any other minorites really breaks down for me. I’m gay, but I also would 100% support legislation that at the very least registers mutants for similar reasons why I want legislation for gun control. Mutants have WORLD BENDING POWERS that need to be addressed. It’s…

Can’t wait for the “get really upset when people make fun of you and Colin Jost so you call people dog fuckers on instagram”

Jimbo should have won both weeks. Making rainbow look good is hard, and that skirt with zippers was wonderful. Lemon’s the “best dancer” and her lipsyncs are meh. Kyne I laughed at a few times (and I looooove her math stats TikToks), so she shouldn’t have been bottom two. Definitely BOA and Tynami who didn’t know…

Just like I’m being told Miz Cracker is Funny, I’m told that Blair is Fashionable and Talented. But what works in Indianapolis doesn’t fly in Chicago (where I am...)
