it's ironic because political correctness used to mean "slavishly following your party line without regard for moral substance" and then the rightwing took it and made it a parody

PC culture doesn't seem that bad when it just means not being an rear end in a top hat racist, sexist, or misogynist. Maybe the people that want to be assholes should go die in a ditch. That's just me though, hot take.

The rich are largely lazy, ignorant, inbred assholes whose deaths should not be mourned. There are some good ones, I'm sure.

spit on my clit posted:I'm not exactly sure if this is a popular or unpopular opinion, but I feel that the "Politically Correct" culture has been inflating to the point where it's become obnoxious enough, and now everyone's fed up with it interfering with how they want to live their lives. I think that'd explain people going against the grain in recent years, doing stuff they know isn't the best option, but doing it just to try and give a takedown towards the PC crowds, see Brexit and the American 2016 election results. They know the storm that will result from those options, but to them they would prefer to wade through that storm rather than standing by and letting the "everything is political and if you do not have the popular political opinion" mindset take over their identities. Every time a brexit or a trump happens, all we hear from the opposition is "How did this happen", like they honestly don't see that there is an opposing side that's fed up with their politics. I did a search on Twitter for "free speech" and one of the first results was tweet saying that the phrase "free speech" was an Alt-Right dog whistle.

Guy Goodbody posted:A lot of men who are opposed to the politically correct crowd (example: da fricken president) are eventually outed as sexual predators. Right, but the president is basically proud of being a sexual predator (as is pretty much every right wing sex pest), the male "feminists" are explicitly pretending to be allies to prey on women. If you can't see why the latter is a more pressing concern, then you're part of the problem.

If you can't see why the latter is a more pressing concern, then you're part of the problem. They're both bad, no doubt. But the President is the President of the United States of America. To say that like, Lana del Raytheon is a bigger issue that the President is crazy. Just to be clear, both bad, but "the president is a rapist" is an extremely pressing concern, imo

I meant as broad classes, ie. the open and proud misogynists vs. the false feminists who are secretly shitheads. They're both reflective of the same underlying issue, that men can get away with being really lovely for a really long time and a large number of people will continue to support them in spite of it. Individual cases may be more or less worthy of attention, but the underlying social problem is the real issue worthy of the most attention.

My point was that the male feminist daywalkers were the more important threat over the out and out misogynist. While your average Trump supporter is objectively more dangerous to women, the fake allies create fissures between women and men who legitimately care about civil rights, making opposition to the patriarchy all that much more difficult.

Dress shirts where the shirt is one color and the collar is another are objectively terrible looking and are exclusively used to signal class/status rather than to competently or appealingly complete an ensemble.

I've seen the blue shirt+white collar combination that on certain people looks OK but it'd probably look a lot better if it was just one color. Every other combination just looks stupid and I would think a high quality solid-colored shirt would signal your class/status more effectively than something you clearly bought just to look "different".

The example that popped into my mind that I was trying to think of was Gordon Gekko in the first wallstreet and I guess he could have been wearing it for status or something since it fits his character but I still think it looked decent more than "oh that guy must be high-class" or whatever. e: also who keeps buying me rear end avatars, give me the cat back please yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 13:16 on Apr 25, 2018 |

Again, when that out and out misogynist/sex predator is the president of the United States of America I think it’s ok to see that as a pressing issue and to say that those who think so are “part of the problem” is some circular firing squad bullshit.

I think Janelle Monae is overrated. I know this comes from the particular fact that when I first heard about her, she was sold to me as Afrofuturism, which is a terrible way to describe her music except for the fact that it's about robots. Janelle Monae's music doesn't even sound futuristic in comparison to the Afrofuturist icons of the past, let alone in the 2010s; it just sounds like Prince's radio singles (aside from the voice), and I can just listen to Prince's radio singles if I want that vibe. If the music of the future is going to sound like faithful recreations of the 80s, drop the bombs now.

This is going to sound like stdh, but I've seen someone wearing that shirt once. He came into my work and said that our consultation process for this major project was "like being asked if you want to be raped with lube or without." He's a white guy in his 50s with a ponytail. I still have to meet with him on occasion.

Steroids should be allowed in the Olympics. Blood doping, HGH, any and every chemical improvement you want to make to yourself. In the future, when cyborg parts become better than our own human limbs, those should be allowed too. As far as I'm concerned, the only qualifier should be that every aspiring Olympian has to appear before a panel of ten randomly chosen people, and if a majority of them are willing to call you still recognizably human, you're in.

Sports are a healthy and good thing for society. Cheering for Are Team is a substitute for cheering for Are Country but without the part that involves nationalism, racism, or the possibility of wars. And humans love cheering for things. Also Michael Jordan is the greatest athlete of all time and all Chicago teams are the best, except for soccer, in which case Paris Saint-Germain, or hockey, in which case habs.
