I'll try: SRS (poo poo Reddit Says) is a subreddit that is 100% certified organic batshit insane.

Like the mods will go through your posting history to make sure you're not posting in the "wrong subreddits" and if you decide to stop posting in SRS, you can't just up and leave, you get interviewed on why you're leaving.

I am not joking.

Umm, what? I post in SRS occasionally, and if I ever stopped, no one would care. This is someone who publicly posted about leaving, then was asked why. Moderators who are trying to stay on top of their community, the horror.

Park joined forces with Michelle Malkin over the #cancelcolbert thing.

No, she didn't. Malkin piggy backed onto Park's #cancelcolbert campaign because a lot of the right loving hates him and wanted to play on the left "in-fighting." Park just failed to distance herself afterward.

The Colbert tweet made more sense with context, but I've always kind of disliked the stupid Ching Chong character. It comes up with little prompting sometimes, and though the joke is that casual racists are assholes, I think the punchline for a lot of people is the racist voice itself.

I'd heard she was a drag queen though?

A lot of idiots aren't aware that GSM people don't all fall under the umbrella of "gay." And the epithet they're using is applied to, and unfortunately used by, drag queens a lot.

So... it's racist to agree with Bill Cosby? :confused:

Bill Cosby's opinions and how he expresses them are kind of lovely and dismissive of young people. White people quoting him and saying, "see, one of them thinks so, too!" is them validating their racism.

I'm curious, could you get around the whole appropriation thing by saying you're trans-[ethnic group] and would SJWs destroy you for it, or let it slide? Because it seems like either answer would condemn half of the SJW community at once. Like you could be a skinny white boy, but by claiming you're trans-gender, trans-fat, trans-african, would tumblr support you or not?

Well, normal people would understand that transgender is the only one of those things that actually exist. Tumblr might support you, though, because as seen above, they're really weird.

Let's tell minorities how to feel about slurs.

It's fun when the idiocy comes from inside the thread.

How can anyone date an actor when they are up on stage kissing someone not their spouse? This is an outrage!

It's not a betrayal of trust dude stop being that guy. Her being a porn star has literally no bearing on the story. The man is a maniac.

He was disagreeing with the person who said monogamous relationships and being a porn star are mutually exclusive.

Most major retailers have been open on major holidays for a long while. The outcry a couple years ago came from Black Friday sales starting on Thanksgiving day. The stores were already open, the sales just started earlier. Which probably lead to more people getting scheduled to deal with more customers, but honestly, most of those employees are probably happy to pick up the extra shift, even if working on a holiday sucks.

Why do people always say size 2 when hating on thin people? 2 isn't the only "skinny people" size, and honestly, with vanity sizing being what it is in the States, just about anyone can be a 2 if they go to the right store.

There is nothing wrong with being a size 2, bitches. Don't expect me to empathize with your problems when each and every one of you talk poo poo about my size. :colbert:

No one said there was anything wrong with being a size 2 in that. Just that not everyone has to be.

"Dr. Pritchard, the syllabus says we're going to discuss feminism today. Why have you just been standing quietly at the podium for twenty minutes?"

"I'm not allowed to talk about my theories, research, conclusions, or suggestions on the matter. Just spend the next hour browsing Facebook on your phone while Jennifer in the front row watches me to make sure I don't say anything about the 'F' word."

If there's one thing men desperately need, it's a platform to speak their minds free of all that female oppression.

But people will often say that the abuse women face must be priortized and that sadly we can not also help the men because no society has infinite resources. Which i imagine is a hard to to hear. I guess it is only human to be so caugth up in your own pain that all other issues seem like they at most deserve lip service. The weird thing is perhaps they are rigth? Perhaps the way to get the maximum good for the minimum cost is to cut abused men off from any help and direct 100% of it to abused women?

Who are these people often saying this?

Question Mark Mound posted:

I think the visible thong makes it an attempt to cover both bases of theft and rape. If it was just stuff likes phones and cameras then yeah, it's an unfortunate advert but whatever; adding the thong to tell women not to "show off" their bodies is pretty gross.

Also, the use of the word 'assets' placed right next to her rear end in low rise jeans when a dozen other words would have worked make the second, "stop asking for it by dressing like a whore" meaning pretty explicit.
