Are sharing stories about just generally depressing social media things. Lately a friend of mine has just been out of control with posting Anti-Feminist/Anti-Women rants culminating in posting a link to Return of Kings describing about how the website 'nailed it.' A website, I found out, contains such choice quotes as "I often hear women do not report rapes right away because they are ashamed or humiliated to report that it ever happened. This is pure bullshit." I considered pointing out to him that he's posted a link to a rather vile website, but I imagine my cries would just fall on deaf ears as he has in the past used the term 'beta male' ironically. It's sad to see someone I once considered a close friend go kind of off the deep end into complete insanity.

I wish I had screenshots because that really qualifies for this thread. To be fair it was determined that only one cop fired, and that cop was charged with 2nd degree murder. See also the Union Station hostage situation where they waited for hours setting up snipers to disarm the assailant from a far.

This person is far enough down that path that he's only going to bring a lot of really hateful things into your view if you keep him around and honestly it's not worth it. I have a 1 strike policy on hiding people who share posts from "Conservative Daily" "Tea Party" or "The Blaze" because trying to push back against this constant wave of sexism/racism/straight up idiocy is too tiring. I have to deal with it enough in real life, it's nice to be able to control it online.

But just like anything involving nerds, poo poo gets taken way too far and seriously until it ends up being a complete shitshow. For conent, a few days back there was yet another story about I/P, this time about how some Israeli ultras were dancing and singing about how 'Gaza has no schools 'cause the children are all dead' and whatnot. Typical comment thread, folks outraged, the odd anti-Semite and what have you. But suddenly, something different cropped up. There were like, 10 different comments that kinda looked a bit different. See if you can spot what might be different about them: A person with the Israeli flag for an avatar suddenly starts posting in English in a purely Icelandic newspage.

It was twenty-two thousand words - no repetition or copy/pasting, nothing obviously from other sources - that was, functionally, about how he was too awesome for women to sleep with him (the basic syllogism: a. Intelligence and awesomeness are mating signals; b. stupid, non-awesome men developed seduction; c. modern women prefer being seduced; d. I am intelligent; therefore I am too awesome for women to want me). He hates PUAs because they use seduction rather than True Awesomeness, and believes that voting should be restricted to "intelligent men". (Naturally, he'd be a voter.) The money quote - I swear this is verbatim, and the context doesn't make it any better: "A woman is a relatively simple biological robot whose goal is to produce offspring that will be most optimal from an evolutionary standpoint." * the first tenth of, and skimmed the rest - see also "twenty-two thousand words"

And of course, it's kinda hard to make good points in a place that is so remorselessly anti-Israeli. Like, any pro-Israeli comments in Icelandic are countered fast and hard, because aside from the islamphobic fringe and some of teh ultra-evangelicals, no-one is pro-Israeli. (They're at best lukewarm centrists, though this recent bout is changing a lot of minds regarding that)

These are all things that should definitely be addressed, but I was thinking more along the lines of the wacky Tumblr gender thing. Why is gender singled out for special snowflake syndrome? Is it no longer in vogue to claim rare mental disorders or medical conditions? That happened all the time on LiveJournal ages ago.

Why is gender singled out for special snowflake syndrome? Is it no longer in vogue to claim rare mental disorders or medical conditions? That happened all the time on LiveJournal ages ago. It helps avoid cognitive dissonance. It's hard to convince yourself in the long term that you have an obscure serious deadly illness because if you did you'd see a doctor but if you see a doctor you'll be told you don't actually have an exotic illness. But as long as gender is purely mental you can just declare yourself to be trigender or whatever and nobody can tell you otherwise or expect you to do anything further. Co-opting the trans movement's terminology also gets you oppression points, which gives you an enjoyable rush and is socially important on tumblr.

Shut the thread down, we have a winner. http://www.thenewsnerd.com/local/boy-dies-participating-facebook-fire-challenge/ The Article posted:BUFFALO, NY – A 15-year-old boy has died after participating in a game that is circulating on the popular social network FaceBook. James Shores was burned to death after his entire body was engulfed in flames. There's a video of one of the "more successful" entries in the link. This is just absolutely loving baffling. People are throwing super flammable materials on themselves and lighting themselves on fire for LITERALLY NO REASON.

It's not just that she was bad at arguing, she also picked a place that would be difficult for even a pretty talented debater to work their propaganda magic in. She also didn't introduce herself subtly, talk in their language, anything, really. It's surreal.
