Zedd posted:I own this book, I used to think it was a good book, It actually is a pretty bad book that makes a few decent points in the smuggest dick dorkins way possible. But at least I never got close to this level of Delusion I once got in an argument on a friend's status about Richard Dawkins (she was a religious studies major who found him very annoying). I was pointing out how he compared the plight of atheists to that of homosexuals, and a gay Indian guy who worships came in and said, unironically, that he comes from a country where people are imprisoned for being gay and he still agrees with Dawkins, "but feel free to straight white boy educate me." I have never been so taken aback by a Facebook argument, and just let it go.

Cathy Brennan and her kind are lovely people for sure, but I don't think someone who buys into the idea of feminists as ugly man-hating lesbians knows or cares about TERFs. Hell, they'd probably agree with them.

PresidentBeard posted:That's true, but claiming that groups don't need to self police is stupid. Doubly so if you engage in no true scotsman arguments while doing so. Acknowledge that there are lovely feminists but that it's more lovely to throw the baby out with the dishwater. The gently caress are you talking about? Segmentation Fault posted:I am not nor have I ever advocated "screwing the whole thing" re: feminism, just pointing out that toxic attitudes in feminist circles exist beyond "kids on the Internet!!!" it's a real problem and it needs to be addressed instead of dismissing it. It is what she's doing, though. I understand that lovely elements of feminism exist and should be called out, but this woman's argument appears to be that feminism is bullshit because not all feminists are good people.

Hate to interrupt social justice chat, but how about some idiots on social media? First, if you haven't subscribed to Lowtax's YouTube channel, you should probably do so because it produced this gem some time ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVUjVqKKmoI ... followed by this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDHuRQbnTo4 ... and this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF6uEvwyTeg Basically, this Steward HK Lar Lover guy is kinda nuts. The best part is that he showed up in the comments. Either someone told him that someone made some videos about him or he just wandered over. Here's one example:  Seriously,

When I pointed out that if he wanted a logical discussion he would/should not have used inflammatory statements on Twitter to change hearts and minds rather than, say, a well-referenced book on the topic, I was told that as a woman, I can't be logical about this topic. Time to prune. I'm over Dunbar's number anyway.

CharlestheHammer posted:You should ask what exactly rating them accomplishes. I mean from a judicial point of view sure, but that isn't his place. Wayyy ahead of you. Dawkins is right to insist on ranking because it is part of logically and rationally discussing it! I mean, there are philosophical thought experiments on morality in which we discuss if it is worse to kill one person to save 5 or to let the first 5 die, this is no different. And since Dawkins is a scientist, he is a master of logical argument, regardless of topic. Ah, but as a woman I am 'too emotionally invested to be logical about rape.' Thank goodness men are there to do the logical work for me, apparently. Its really sad, the guy never had an iota of this nonsense in his posts until today. Dick Dorkins just brings out the best in people.

Excels posted:Most of my knowledge only goes up to about a month after Jon left, that's when I unsubscribed. I don't care about Danny at all, I find his voice annoying to listen to. He sounds too fake, and repeats his bad jokes ad-nauseum. Jon and Arin just seemed very genuine, Danny and Arin sound like a couple of gross, sleazy douchebags. I agree with all of this post, but Dan settled in pretty good since that time period, and Jon leaving allows for Steam Train to have a rotating cast (GG was originally going to continue with Jon and Arin, and ST going to be just Ross and Dan). I mean, they have a pretty big delay between recording and release so feedback takes a while before it has a noticeable affect. Someone should start a business and just charge these internet famous chucklefucks to be their community managers/PR people, Phil Fish coulda used it too.

I can't find any of them now because of Youtube's stupid comment system, but the funniest thing about Jon's departure were all the fake Jontron accounts calling Danny an unfunny hack and begging Arin to fire him even though they're all friends in real life.
