This is creepy. What CK did was horrendous, and I’m all for firing him from future projects, but this 1984 rewriting of history is fucked up. This thing happened. For better or for worse, it’s weird to want to deny that fact.

You’ve explained that I’m white and therefore can’t understand why I SHOULD judge people by race. I find your “derailing” explanation to be pure critical theory bullshit. Sorry.

I didn’t know you’re a woman. A cunt is a cunt.

Are you under the impression that “white people” are immortal vampires that have reaped the benefits of their whiteness for centuries? Because most of us are just getting here...

Learn what, exactly? What am I missing? I need to grow up and learn what?

True

See, this is the response I always get, as if I don’t already understand that. My argument is: How is doing this going to move towards true equality? Sure, it pisses off people that use “black people” as a pejorative, but it also pisses off people that don’t.

You put black dudes in power, same shit happens.

Do you judge people based on their skin color? I dare you to answer. Go ahead.

That is precisely what it means. You know it. I know it. Why deny it? Are you seriously claiming that progressives don’t judge EVERYONE this way? You’ve done it in this thread, For Fuck’s Sake.

Interestingly, Google’s Head of Diversity gave a speech a few months ago about how diversity should be about diversity of ideas, not skin color. She said twelve blonde white guys could be diverse due to their life experiences.

You do realize that judging people on their ancestry is called tribalism, which is the cause of all racism and genocide, correct? I can provide you with plenty of examples if you’d like.

People who use the term put other people in order by race/gender/sexuality “privilege” to determine who can make fun of whom BASED ON RACE.

Nuh uh, it’s okay if you’re “punching up”....


... only problem is that no one exactly knows what “punching up” is and thinks it means “whoever I disagree with” which... shit that doesn’t really help either...

Yeah, the bigger problem is we as a society have spent the span of the Industrial Revolution rewarding selfish-asshole behavior, because it was easier to ignore than deal with.

We’re not a group, dingbat. I guess by your logic I should be held responsible for slavery in the southern colonies, right?

Honestly, and this is just my opinion, not being snowflakey or whatever, but the “white dudes/folks” as a pejorative shtick is tired, lazy, and reductive.

I mean.... you’re talking about creating a similar problem with a different group. Diversity is key, diversity does not mean completely shutting out one group of people. I said it above somewhere but, if Asian women or Gaelic transsexuals had managed to form a club at the top, we’d have the same problems with a…

Daily reminder that no matter what movie stars, gender studies professors and Buzzfeed say, it is evil to judge anyone by race. Not just morally and ethically wrong, but evil.

Uhm, had you invested slightly in the background, you’d know that both Triss and Yennefer are quite a bit older then him. They use magic to keep their looks. In the books it’s stated that wizards and sorceresses are functionally immortal, due to their magic. Young for a sorcerer is about a hundred years, and neither…
