Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?


I have a simpler plan.

Step 1) get a job earning 6 figures.

I just solved poverty, suck it libs.

Trite solutions are so easy once you ignore any odd the underlying issues that make them problems in the first place!

No, it's because nothing about them is feminist and it's wrong to refer to them that way. "FART" is "feminism-appropriating reactionary transphobe", which is both accurate and fun to say.

And I'll be honest, as a trans person I'm not willing to be lectured on exercising :decorum: toward people who want me to stop loving existing.

"We can't police who gets to be LGBTQ+ so now we're gonna police how those people talk about the people who want to kill them" jesus christ

I am trans, FYI. And I've had conversations about this in real life, so I've kinda 'field-tested' FART and it's honestly kind of annoying. It has that 'in-joke' stench where the people saying it just feel really smart for saying it, but there's always someone who feels the need to explain it and it never gets the positive reaction they want it to.

It's not a decorum thing; rip them to shreds. But they do that themselves when you call them terfs, and I think that's way more entertaining than sounding like eight year olds.

Never forget AV Club's Scott Walker article

https://news.avclub.com/bear-witness-to-the-crushing-ennui-of-scott-walker-s-in-1798264004

quote:

Thanks to Wired’s Ashley Feinberg, the true existential horror of modern consumer life has been brought to light, and it is contained within the images found in the social media feed of Wisconsin’s second blandest gift to the world, after the BoDeans. In a lengthy exposé, Feinberg gets at the heart of Walker’s tragic pictures:

quote:

What makes his photos so simultaneously compelling and unnerving is that, for the most part, they feature everything you expect of an Instagram account. He photographs food. He photographs “events.” He photographs presumably enjoyable activities. And yet, Governor Walker insists on focusing on the least appealing part of his experience every single time.

Basically a center left mayor said hey maybe cops should be nicer and think before they act. So of course this means he wants dead cops.

Hello as a professional genderologist I can say that all the people making exclusionary arguments are not only wrong, but ultimately reproducing structures of hetrosexual acceptability and propriety into queer identities which are fundamentally incompatible with it. Excluding sexuality you don't understand is exactly how we come to queer spaces, and to pretend that there's a horde of cishet people trying to steal ~gay valor~ is the worst form of queer nationalism.

In conclusion, Tumblr was the scrawled bathroom wall of gender studies, and exclusionists are the alligators inside the toilets who misheard everything said about the walls but still thinks they're a fully qualified Sexuality Mechanic.

The worst part is that ever since he did that in his first year as mayor he’s been sucking up to the cops

he was deployed for a total of seven months as part of naval intelligence and he sat in a shipping container studying terrorist finance networks. when not doing that he drove his commander around in a truck, self-describing as "basically Uber for our unit."

he does have a military record of course but dude is not exactly a hardened commando

Like for a good example is an artist. We have some artist who thrive and then we have some who can't make a dime because of unrealistic finances.

When I was developing my last board game for example I went to the colleges wanting some art drawn. I had a professor tell me straight up that his students wouldn't even bother for less than 300-400 per piece. I told that professor I could go on reddit and get it done for my asking prices or less and he said basically you can't in any way. So I said a couple hours worth of work and a drawing to potentially get worked published. Needless to say I know way to many people that fall into that trap. I was once told by my college professor to never work for free, that was the dumbest advice I was ever given as an incoming freshman.

the worker falls to the level of commodity or however it goes, you can get people to accept extremely low pay for work now with task apps or the grandaddy Amazon Turk. It's amazing how techbros took a story of a fake self-playing chess set that just had a person inside it and somehow made it more hosed up and gross. Even if you go one step up the stability stepladder with temp work it still sucks, I wish it worked the way it does in anime.

I mean, I don't know what the rest of this person's explanation is, but that sounds kinda fair. Sociopathy is a real thing and not all sociopaths are necessarily cruel, they just don't have an awareness other people do.

It's a bit like that tweet that was going around recently of popular media's image of autism against the reality. High-functioning autistic people have trouble identifying other people's emotions, but a bunch of people think that translates to 'doesn't care about other people's feelings' while it more often comes out as 'I can't identify social cues so I'm flying blind and have no idea if I'm being annoying or not so I'll be extra careful'.

Not only that, but recent studies suggest that autistic people have just as much affective empathy (the ability to respond with an appropriate emotion to someone else's emotional state) as neurotypical people, if not more. It's cognitive empathy that allows people to recognize the emotional states of others, and that's what we tend to be lacking in.

Yeah, we're pretty good at responding appropriately, it's just that getting it right in the first place is the hard part.

And largely unrelated, but I remember when Deus Ex Human Revolution came out, autistic people generally did a lot better at that game's 'conversation bosses' where it's a complex dialog tree to sway someone to your side. And it's specifically because they were naturally bad at cognitive empathy, so they were used to having to think a lot more about that than neurotypical players.
