B.B. Rodriguez posted:I'm curious, could you get around the whole appropriation thing by saying you're trans-[ethnic group] and would SJWs destroy you for it, or let it slide? Because it seems like either answer would condemn half of the SJW community at once. Like you could be a skinny white boy, but by claiming you're trans-gender, trans-fat, trans-african, would tumblr support you or not? From what I've seen on tumblr, you'd get a few supporters, but most SJWs will tear you to shreds if you claim you're trans ethnic.

Hmmm yes cutting foreign aid would definitely have an effect on how many non-English-speakers there are in America They're so close, too. Caring about poo poo that actually matters for the most part then they veer off into fascistland for the proposed solution.

Another person I keep around for stupidity. They actually work for PETA (I live in the same metropolitan area as their headquarters). They post a lot of things like this that show they have little understanding of the feasability of a worldwide vegan diet, charity, poverty, animal rights as anything but the hardline PETA model, etc. I don't bother calling them out, even being frequently vegan and an animal rights activist myself, because you swiftly learn in this area that getting into slap fights with PETA members is just not worth it.

Yeah that only really works in latitudes between the tropics and at certain times of the year. The maximum height of the sun on any given day (at local apparent noon) is dependent on your latitude and the Sun's declination. It's been a while since I did celestial navigation so I might be messing up the terms here. A hand with your hand outstretched is about 10 degrees of altitude, for what it's worth. So if each hand is 10 degrees, if you're somewhere where the Sun is directly overhead, by that method it would have to be in the sky for 18 hours (9 hours up, 9 down). I think that only happens in polar latitudes, and the Sun doesn't go that high there. FrozenVent has a new favorite as of 05:16 on May 20, 2014 |

Yeah, the whole "hand is an hour" thing is just a ballpark estimate. Good for figuring out about how much daylight you have left, but I wouldn't schedule appointments by it or anything.

Racial essentialism is a 'nonracist/sexist/whatever' way of essentially saying all white people are this, all black people are that, all Chinese people are this thing. Or all women are this, all men are that, etc. It ignores the fact that people are made up of several labels, and that just because you're the same race, doesn't mean say, a black woman in the US has the same experiences as an African woman from Nigeria.

What's more, it's a way of saying "Only African Americans should be allowed to enjoy jazz" etc etc in response to a broadening definition of cultural appropriation. It doesn't matter how many trans-whatever boxes you make Tumblr, you're still trying to put people into them.

Yeah, I've seen a concerning amount of advocacy against race mixing, and accusations of men dating Asians or Black women having an 'exotic' fetish, but only if the man is white. The overuse of words like "problematic" and now "this irks me" pisses me off to no end. Christ, I hate social justice slacktivists who think signal boosting a post on tumblr or sharing something from upworthy is making meaningful impact other than maybe showing solidarity for a cause.

Hard to top the Japanesekin weeaboo, but here's some crazy from Tumblr about Sailor Moon, from someone who can't stand the fact that they're releasing a new version that keeps the original Japanese names and doesn't censor the poo poo out of stuff like two of the characters being lesbians. It sounds like a troll, but if so she's apparently been trolling on this subject for a good three years now.quote:SAILOR MOON BOYCOTT

That's just ridiculous. Comparing it to the George Lucas "Han shot first" poo poo is bizarre. It'd be more like if a foreign syndication of Star Wars edited the scene to show Greedo shooting first, and years later released a new version with the original scene.

Yeah, this person seems crazy enough to think that removing prior censorship is itself a form of censorship, because her ~precious dub~. Seriously the dub was awful. Serena's voice was grating and Molly had a random NJ accent that was also annoying.

Just to be clear here: the "new" release is going to be exactly the same show, just better translated and without the censorship and name changes, right? Like, does she really think that the Japanese-voiced and English-voiced cast are different characters somehow? That changing Ami to Amy is somehow a fundamental shift in characterization? EDIT Also WTF "the physical media is not preserved" I'm pretty sure there's people out there who have copies of the originals. You cannot possibly expect me to believe that nobody in an entire anime fandom ever bothered to burn the show to a bunch of CDs or something.

So Macklemore dressed as a ridiculous Jewish caricature the other night and people got justifiably mad about it. The AV Club poked fun at his lame apology for it, and these are some of the comments (it's a public page): If you understand stereotyping, you're the real anti-Semite! If my friends don't care, why should anybody?! Dressing as a Nazi cartoon and ribbing my friends about their backgrounds are the same thing! I don't know any Jews!

I left the Facebook page talking about how Vince McMahon lost a whole bunch of money because, it turns out, their projections on the number of WWE fans was insanely overestimated a few days, refreshed, and found this gem: I'm sick of the media treating wrestling fans as rubes! Wrestling is awesome! I can't wait for Wrestling Founded By Toby Keith, Lucha Libre, and Japan Wrestling!
