Casey Finnigan posted:No one in the world actually cares about "singular vs plural they." I'd disagree with your first claim, I've met several. The issue is something more general than trans or genderqueer-specific animus. People have a weird reactionary defensiveness about language and convention that is independent of issues tied to the particular word in question. For some people you're doubtless correct that it's a bad faith dispute as part of an attempt at erasure. But there are absolutely people out there who are genuinely huffy that "he" is no longer a gender neutral default and they have to relearn something. There's probably a word for whatever kind of privilege is at play.

There's probably a word for whatever kind of privilege is at play. Resistance to linguistic drift is as old as written language. It's probably tied to subconscious understanding that words make thought and thought makes you. So like, someone redefining something seems aggressive and wrong to people because it's a natural reaction to someone essentially explicitly telling you that your understanding of reality is wrong. I'm not sure how accurate the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis actually is, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was a lot of overlap in monolingual people and high resistance to drift vs. those who have studied other languages.

Its a kind of crappy "language is objective and grammar rules (that no one remembers) are a fact" mindset that's survived from 19th century modernism.

eviltastic posted:There's probably a word for whatever kind of privilege is at play. As much as I love to rant on and on about white privilege, the issue isn't whiteness, that's just how it's manifesting in our particular culture, the issue is privilege itself. This is a neat little 20-minute documentary about the conditions on Mount Everest this year. As you can see privileged people the world around have the exact same problems with an entitlement complex/complete lack of empathy. I'm in love with this particular little documentary because it focuses on the perspective of the Sherpas and how they view what's happening to their exploited community/holy mountain. Note this may be slightly NSFW as it does show several corpse recovery efforts and huge piles of trash/feces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcmH0__c7aw Like much as I have hurled accusations of privilege at various people in this thread; in my heart of hearts I don't believe any one of you would be comfortable with forcing a sherpa to make multiple trips through the khumbu icefall so that you could dine comfortably in a heated tent on your climb up Everest.

People have a weird reactionary defensiveness about language and convention that is independent of issues tied to the particular word in question. Right, I'm not talking about the alt-right assholes who immediately go from "they is plural" to denying the existence of non-binary people. Many of the comments in that article are seeking out (and in replies receptive to) other options for referring to someone in a non-gendered way. I totally get that the root of it all is that they are uncomfortable with or do not see the importance of incorporating the idea of someone being non-binary into their own life, and insisting that their opinions regarding language should hold is a privileged position flowing from them putting their own comfort above others. Just... why is "they" a thing they feel needs to be defended or in any way inconveniences them? Is it that using "they" makes it too real to them or something and that they want a new word so they can pretend this is a new thing that didn't actually exist before 2010? It is loving weird.

It’s incredibly, wonderfully good and not at all a travesty that the press is busy jerking him off over his “presidential” speech about D-Day. Super cool. Love it. Keep up the focus on what TRULY matters (are troops).

That's a tough one!" gently caress these mountain climbers. Any rear end in a top hat with $100k can pay a bunch of people to carry them up and then they get to act like they've "accomplished something important". Then they brag about how they're "doing it for their kids and family" as though they're somehow doing good stepping over bodies and leaving a mountain of frozen poo poo and empty oxygen bottles while possibly killing themselves or their guides.

Ague Proof posted:That's not his dumbest belief. Any episode that touches on politics or weird fringe philosophers are just about unlistenable unless you also love watching UFO shows on the History channel. The only episodes that can be tolerable are with comedians who are left/non-political, or with respected credible scientists, which pretty much eliminates about 3/4 of his episodes. Even then, he's pretty dumb and you are only there to laugh or to listen to his guest. (He's high-profile enough to attract legit interesting guests now)
