I know it’s polite to assume good faith, but you simply have to be willfully ignoring that half-Black people are effectively treated by society as Black unless they pass, and even if they do that can always come out. You worded “I guess half-Black counts as more Black than white somehow” like it’s an obviously bad…

I moved within the last year. At my last house, my room was almost literally carpeted with empty plastic bottles. Thanks to OCD and a bug problem, I had plenty of extra motivation to get food and the like out as soon as I’d finished eating, but anything that wouldn’t get gross or attract insects was far more often…

Walter White lived a comfortable middle-class existence aside from the cancer, and even that could have been easily dealt with if not for his pride.

On the other hand, if the font is the only real difference, some might argue it’s anal to care.

Because half-Black people are famously granted the same treatment as both parents. The one drop rule means that if you have even one white ancestor, you count as white!

Uh, yes? Sorry, but you do realize there are Jewish people in Florida, right? And queer people? And people of every race?

I don’t know what part of “the problem is the character’s name” is so fucking hard to understand. Did you read the article at all? Seriously, did you? Because I have no idea how you would have walked away with the impression that something about the character’s personality or behavior was problematic. Is it that you…

You can be racist to white people in China and Taiwan because they’re the powerless minority there. It’s not that hard to understand. Christians suffering in some parts of the world doesn’t mean Western Christianity’s victimization complex is valid.

You think other people are predictable for calling you a bootlicker, but perhaps what’s predictable is you licking boots. I don’t get called a bootlicker all that often. Maybe the problem is you.

Black people can’t be racist against WASPs, nor can Jews, but Black people and Jews can be racist towards one another. Seriously, why does it need to be a competition? Why do you need to be the most oppressed person in the room at all times? Literally nothing is being stuck to the Black community over Kanye West. The…

Ah, the “ad hominem fallacy” fallacy. No, it’s only ad hominem when I do nothing but insult you. I can make an argument /and/ call you a dumb-dumb.

[But politicians have an actual mechanism for the public to stop them (i.e. voting). JKR is already rich, and no amount of boycotting is going to change that, so it’s imo pretty damn fair to say “this is a dumb choice of buck to stop on”.]

The “more important” buck can be passed on endlessly. Why boycott a megarich donor and activist? She’s not important, she’s just a distraction, the heads of this or that group are what matters. Except, it’s really the politicians enacting bad laws, so we need to target them, they’re the most important. Although, if…

No one is saying Jewish people can’t be racist towards Black people, but you seem to think Black people can’t be racist towards Jewish people. It’s not a zero sum game where either you’re oppressed or the Jews are.

You cannot truly be stupid enough to think that people who don’t like Kanye are giving Trump a pass. 

You’re the one that said I “can’t fathom fighting this any way other than what [I] can easily reach in a minute on [my] phone”, I don’t know why suddenly now that the turntabled you’re playing the “we can do both” card. That’s the card I was playing from the start.

You’re assuming not giving money to a bigot is the sum of my activism, rather than simply a mundane component of ethical life. At least, I sure would love for it to be a minor issue, yet here you are, arguing about that minor issue, instead of doing anything you’re accusing me of not doing.

Truly, the megarich world-famous author who remains at the top of one of the world’s biggest franchises is small potatoes. Why isn’t everyone angry at TERF YouTuber Siobhan Grunkle? 

I also think we should gatekeep art based on the methods of creation. Next, we kick out the digital artists, and continue until we’re back to real art: cave painting with elk’s blood.

She has to either see it herself to do anything about it or else be like “hey, can you look at all these videos of me getting blasted in the face by ten guys?” to someone else. Obviously she isn’t sitting there being forced to stare at it for the full length of the video, but she’s going to see something, even if just…
