VitalSigns posted:Ugh why is this still going on. How is harassing this woman and publishing her personal information supposed to prove anything besides that transphobes are unhinged and vindictive people? Because their whole argument is predicated on "I think she's weird and icky", so the only way they can really make it is by hammering on it over and over and going "look how weird and icky she is!". The whole stuff about "what if your daughter was in the same room/what about peeping perverts/what if some regular dude sneaks into the opposite room for kicks" is just a flimsy justification so they can pretend they're not just completely superficial and arbitrary.

Mobile-posting; I'll link the story when I get home. Something similar also came up during the Giffords shooting, if I remember correctly. There actually was somebody carrying a gun at the scene, but he decided not to use it because he wasn't sure who the actual shooter was. It was a good call, too, because the person he'd have used it on had he decided to shoot was just a bystander who'd managed to wrestle the gun away from the actual shooter.

Mel Mudkiper posted:This really gets to the problem with these people. They honestly think they are the silent majority being oppressed by shrill SJWs who everyone totally secretly hates but are afraid to stand up against. They do not seem to get that edgy offensive poo poo during a charity stream is actually offensive to the majority and that everyone isn't sitting around going "heh kill yourself lol" Yeah, that seems to be one of the driving factors of the whole SJW "issue". The internet has become a dramatically more populous and interconnected place in the last decade. The people who in a way used to have the run of the place in relatively insular communities that reinforced their views are now confronted with the fact that a large part of society does not actually condone their poo poo. So now they run with the SJW clichee so that they can pretend that any disagreement they face stems from outside agitators with an ulterior agenda that can be easily dismissed.

Are there actually any concrete instances of these things actually happening with any regularity? This idea about hyper-PC campuses banning comedians left and right is bandied about like it's downright endemic everywhere you go, but I haven't really seen all that many specific stories of it actually happening. Especially not when you control for issues like "comedian was actually just plain unfunny" or "students individually criticized comedian but no official action was taken".

big mean giraffe posted:You do realize most first world countries have these kinds of laws right? It isn't some magical turning point that's impossible to enact without eroding our very liberties. As an example, here's a part of Germany's §130 StGB against incitement of the people: quote:(1) Whosoever, in a manner capable of disturbing the public peace To my admittedly limited understanding, a key point here is actually the very first sentence "in a manner capable of disturbing the public peace". So it's not just a matter of the content of the speech, but rather whether it is capable of disturbing the public peace or inciting further action.

ProperGanderPusher posted:FDR is commonly listed among the worst presidents ever among my right wing and libertarian friends for the New Deal, which turned us into a nation of takers instead of rugged frontiersmen over time and did nothing to help the Depression (the war did). The die off of the Greatest Generation, who collectively tended to like FDR, is probably enabling this trend. The most recent popular line among libertarians seems to be that the New Deal actually prolonged the Great Depression because... I'm not quite sure, really. Probably because everything Keynes said must not only be wrong, but the exact opposite of it must be true. Then the Depression kind of fixed itself afterwards because Free Market.

It seems to be just good old black and white thinking. To Walsh, PP is just inherently evil. Since the courts are where evil people and organisations are punished, PP should be automatically found guilty the moment it's brought before the court. Whether or not they've actually broken any existing laws whatsoever is perfectly irrelevant to him.

Chantilly Say posted:I thought the justification for hate speech laws like Germany and France have is just that it's bad PR for the country? Not really, no. The concept of personal honour and dignity is a pretty big deal in german jurisprudence (dating back to Prussian times, I think), and so there are laws to protect against having that violated. It's literally the very first article of the Grundgesetz/constitution: "Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority."

It's funny how at the beginning of the whole trans debate, one of the most common conservative arguments was along the lines of "Why should we need to change our laws for such a tiny minority? There are only a handful of them around in the first place!". Yet now there are apparently roving packs of them going around in every city, and you can't even go to a single public bathroom without stumbling over at least three transpeople in the process.

Hell most science museums are cheaper. I was gonna say, that seems incredibly high. I just re-checked the prices of a few science museums I've been to, and without fail they all fell into a 10-15€ range. And this includes some really involved ones with tons of elaborate interactive exhibits. Purely historical museums tend to be less than 10€, even. 40$ for this seems ridiculously out of proportion no matter how you look at it

FuzzySkinner posted:I also don't understand why these people are so bizarrely intimidated by women and transgender people. That Gavin McInnes shitbag ranting about how women should be in the kitchen? Who honestly believes that crap? It's basically a bunch of dudes who are just deeply, deeply insecure about themselves. So they try to define themselves primarily through their masculinity, because being male is pretty much the one thing that they all have that a) can never be taken from them, and b) that has, or used to have, a number of positive qualities associated with it. You know, all the old stuff about men being the real movers and shakers, the big deciders, the rational supermen, yada yada. So since so much of their perceived self-worth depends on the value of their masculinity, they react absolutely viciously to anything that might diminish it. Women are looked down upon because if you want to feel superior, you need something or somebody to feel superior to. If any women try to fight for a spot in the limelight, then that's of course seen as a direct assault upon this superiority. Feminism in particular is the devil because acknowledging that the game is rigged in favour of men means accepting that the reason men are at the top isn't because they're intrinsically better. Transpeople, merely by existing, throw a big old wrench in the traditional gender model that supports this worldview, so they too must be attacked and put down at every opportunity.

Stallion Cabana posted:For instance, at one point the JSDF kills a bunch of special forces guys on a covert mission. They identify them as the US because 'Only the United States uses black people in their special forces'. That reminds me of the amazingly terrible novel Unintended Consequences. The protagonist ended up in the middle of an FDA raid while visiting a gun shop of a friend of his (the FDA assumed the place would be empty at the time). He notices that the group doing the raid includes women, nonwhites, and even nonwhite women, and from that immediately concludes that this could only be a gang of criminals come to rob the place. He proceeds to murder them all in cold blood, and from there goes on a surprisingly Al-Qaida-like terror campaign to make the US government repeal all gun laws ever. Actually, if you've the time to spare and/or hate yourself, give the Let's Read of it a try. It's just completely insane.

But going on about moral decay and trying to outlaw the whole thing entirely will do gently caress all to change anything about that. Not to mention that Walsh's motivation in this doesn't have anything to do with the desire to improve anybody's life but his own.

McGlockenshire posted:Apparently it's a distorted view of BDSM and the BDSM community is upset at the way it's portrayed. Even setting aside anything to do with BDSM, it's basically a textbook abusive relationship. From the moment he meets her, the dude stalks and harasses the protagonist in a way that would/should lead to a restraining order right away. Gaslighting, malicious withholding of affection, manipulating her family into supporting their relationship, the whole nine yards. There's also at least one scene that's basically unambiguously rape, and is only "saved" because the protagonist decides she's actually into it at the very last moment. The actual BDSM part being a complete shitshow as well is just the cherry on top.

Instant Sunrise posted:"Crisis Pregnancy Centers" are awful predatory institutions that have been popping up for a while now. They purport to offer reproductive health services including abortion, but actually just spout anti-choice propaganda and straight up misinformation. For some extra irony, note that some states apparently have pro-life laws requiring abortion doctors to provide their prospective patients with basically false or highly exaggerated "information" regarding the risks involved. So you end up with completely insane situations where they end up telling their patients things like: "By law I am required to tell you that an abortion increases your risk of breast cancer. But as an actual medical professional I can tell you that that statement is false and there's no actual evidence for this."
