I don't wanna get in detail here but I kinda believe it already is. Nowhere near the fear or hatred but the judgement is 100% there. And the more mainstream it becomes for those who want to live that way the more resistance there will be from the usual suspects.

Poly gets a bit of a bad rap around here because of the amount of insane drama and number of relationship disasters that surrounds it. I'm sure there are people out there who can do it well and live happy lives, but they aren't the ones who we hear about, is all.

Yeah, there's a sort of confirmation bias. The successful poly people go home and flip burgers and raise their kids and lead normal lives save for the fact that they're with more than one person. The disasters are the people you hear about constantly.

I literally know a super together poly couple (well the female half anyway) so this is true.

The thing is I genuinely believe that everything with poly is just... everything "normal" but amplified by the circumstances. Also don't use goons as a cross section of any population ever, amirite? :v:

I think it's one of those 90/10 things. 90% of the poly drama you see/hear about comes from the 10% of poly people that are capital p poly.

e: since that might not be a well-known term - the dipshits that won't shut up about the poly lifestyle and how enlightened they are

He's probably more like 5'4" or 5"5'. Don't call someone childish because of someone's height please. There are plenty of other perfectly good reasons to make fun of him.

From what I've seen in the /r/relationships thread, a lot of that seems to stem from 'opening the relationship' being the new 'having a kid to save the marriage' when it comes to dealing with the desire for infidelity in people who would honestly prefer to be monogamous.

I am 5'7" myself and I am disappointed at how many short(er) men seem to find some very repulsive ideas very appealing because apparently being short has ruined their life or rather deprived them of one to begin with. Like, literally "I am now an alt-righter because they hate women and women hate me".

Oh lord if they go after sexual fluidity/headmates/spacekin, Tumblr is going to post some amusing things I'm sure.

I know it's like 90% of what somethingawful is built on but it always feels weird when people go off on stuff like "spacekin" or people that think they are attack helicopters or whatever, like it's a demographic with a couple dozen people who are either joking, mentally ill or talking about some real feeling in their life that they are explaining poorly in a way that makes them seem weird. Like it IS funny, but I always vaguely assume that people that have beefs with "tumblr people" teens and their half hearted nonsense identities at 30 are going to be the people that are super angry when they are 60 about some real thing that teens are actually doing that is actually real.

I just don't understand why they can't just keep their dumbass religious bigoted beliefs out of the government. Just turn a blind eye if it bothers you so much, nobody gave a poo poo besides a small group of white people. If you want to risk life and limb to fight our forever wars then get whatever medical procedures you want.

That's because the people who generally hate on transgender individuals outside of the bro hyper-masculine sphere are all religious nutjobs that think that the United States is officially sanctioned by God. Not a Christian Nation, but actually directly sanctioned to exist by their sky wizard...Therefore, if transpeople (and gays and occasionally black people) are allowed to do whatever and the government doesn't crush it, the US has officially fallen from God's grace.

I learned this from the street preachers that used to come to campus at UF and argue with the students. Eventually...inevitably...the students that would step up to the plate to debate them would back them into a corner as to why the DOJ should go after such and such group...why they were so against people smoking pot...etc...and they'd eventually level with everyone and admit it is because they believe that the country is literally sanctioned by their God.

That's why.

Yeah, nobody arguing Trump isn't racist at this point is actually arguing in good faith,

But the counter example you want to do there is that he was explicitly racist from the moment he announced his campaign and insulted Mexicans in his announcement speech:


Then the person you're arguing with goes "Mexican isn't a race" because they're terminally loving stupid, and you counter with "no, but it's still bigotry, and if you defend it you are a bigot too" and then everyone stands up and claps.

Alternative strategy:

http://time.com/4473972/donald-trump-mexico-meeting-insult/

Just quote each separate entry in that article with no source links and whatever they say or however they respond, quote another entry, and just keep doing that until the heat death of the universe

Basically you don't want to accept the premise that "donald trump isn't a racist" is a premise worth debating. It isn't. People who say that need to be shut down with mockery and shamed, not engaged in intellectual debate.

Is there a resource for Things Trump Has Said, broken down by category?
