Toriori posted:Man, the way things are going on the Internet, you absolutely cannot enjoy anything to do with another culture unless you're a part of it, and you especially can't if you're someone with European heritage. Food, style, whatever, it's all being touted as appropriation now. I got incredibly pissed the other day because SJWs were flipping their poo poo about Cinco de Mayo and DON'T WEAR SOMBREROS YOU RACIST CISHET WHITE SCUM, then comparing sombreros to wearing a head dress! A sombrero is a hat! A head dress is not! Basically, the tier for how easily gets offended over the slightest, from mildest to wildest is as follows: A friend of a friend received death threats on Tumblr a couple of days back for posting a drawing they'd made of an Eastern style dragon. Can't deny I would love to see one of those transethnic weeaboos getting into a slap fight with a cultural appropriation nut.

Double Plus Good posted:It's, like, a thing in the deeper levels of tumblr-gender spaces. It started from people generating their own gender-neutral pronoun sets and devolved into themed sets. It gets really confusing when I see bun reblog conversation with other tumblrites and they all use different pronouns that at first glance just look like a common noun. Here, here's a handy list: I definitely think I need to go around insisting all my internet friends refer to me by squid/squids/squidself.

I dunno where I'm from it's pretty much accepted that you hold the door open for the person behind you regardless of their gender, or yours. I have a really hard time believing in any of these rants where Mr Nice Guy was ranted at by the raging feminazi for the gesture.

NachtSieger posted:IIRC the original nan0girl thing was done entirely as a joke and to mock people who go wild with labels. Then someone or multiple someones from that group took it completely seriously, which is actually kind of funny in a dumb way No apparently it was made by Truscum, who I was "learning" about the other day. They are people who believe that you need to be uncomfortable with your birth gender to be transsexual - so basically, the general definition. "I don't feel like a boy I feel like a girl", etc. That is a scummy thing, in the eyes of Tumblr - because you can be trans even if you're happy with your birth gender. So yeah you walk around looking for all the world like a woman, in a dress and makeup, then yell at people when they don't call you "he", because you're a man on the inside. I'm...I'm just not even getting it anymore. I don't really give a poo poo about what gender people think they are but it seems like these people just build their entire life around making things more complicated than they need to be.

I think this must be the first time in 4 years living here that I've felt part of something Dutch, because poo poo like this makes me super angry.

Christmas Present posted:I guess the major difference comes from being in a country like the US where you're free to dress scantily or in a shapeless robe, or a country like Afghanistan or France where you're not given the option. You can still dress in any shapeless robe or head covering you want in France, it's only the full burqa - the one which fully covers the face, with an eye slit (often also veiled) which is banned. Technically there are loads of places in the US you are not allowed to wear something that covers your entire face either and I doubt "I'm a Muslim" would take presendence over "but securityyyy".

Also you cannot be racist against a religion. If I disagree with something in Islam/Christianity/Hinduism/what the gently caress ever that does not make me a "racist".

Segmentation Fault posted:Perhaps you should read about what the issue is. I read what the issue is earlier today and I was seriously startled that all this poo poo is over a lady who may or may not have cheated on her boyfriend, including with a guy from Kotaku. Because angry ex's are the very best source in the world. The whole thing was extremely depressing because of the vitriol spewed out by a bunch of loving manchildren over a woman having sex. It is no exaggeration to say that if it were a guy indie dev who had sex with a few women - hell, a whole bunch of women! - even if he were in a relationship, the same people would be calling him a total bro and asking for sick PUA tricks.

loving hell what does it matter if some lady makes some YouTube videos with her opinion? There are millions of YouTube videos of people sitting there talking about their opinion, which you are free to agree/disagree with or mock the poo poo out of. Why is Anita so important to all these loving manchildren who think she is coming like a feminist boogeyman to take away their toys, when she's just another person talking with zero power over a vast multi-billion dollar industry?  This whole thing just blows my mind on so many levels. The stupidity is everywhere, even here.

Patchouli Patrol posted:Woman who has imaginary astral boyfriends and thinks she hangs out on the astral plane with the Egyptian gods strikes again. When she refers to O, she is talking about Osiris. She basically created workplace drama in her fantasy world. I could be wrong but this reads like Kemetic drama and not astral stuff. I have a friend who kinda lost it years ago but she's still nice so I talk to her, she's into all this multiple stuff and got into the Kemetic religion. From what I read then they have systems like this with live-in communes/temples and temple jobs/priests of various Egyptian gods and endless internal drama, online and offline. I think my friend dropped it after a big fall out with some other person in her temple, but i kinda don't ask for updates. :|

Esmerelda posted:When I lived in the Netherlands (not Amsterdam) it was really shocking at first how blatant the racism was. I'm not even talking about the zwarte piet stuff but in every day life. There were numerous occasions where I witnessed retail people being snotty, obnoxious brats to darker skinned immigrants as they tried to communicate in dutch only to have them turn to me, a white immigrant, and joke about how "those people" needed to learn the language or get out. Half the time the person they were mocking spoke better dutch than I did but I was white so I'd learn eventually... it was strange. I'm also a (Scottish) immigrant in the Netherlands and yes the racism is super blatant. The Dutch will love to tell you how wonderfully tolerant they are. Just bring up the M word (Moroccans) to watch them turn into the most unbelievable racists. In Scotland it's also super racist though - it just feels a little less alarming I guess because there is hardly any ethnic diversity in Scotland whereas here in NL (in the randstadt anyway) it is REALLY mixed.

Boywhiz88 posted:I will also say thanks for standing up to that kind of poo poo. I really really want a bulldog but I realize that overall there's a huge chance of health problems if I get a pure-bred, partly due to time with the breed etc but also because there are just some irresponsible breeders out there too. As an also dog/cat person who has been involved in rescue and owned/owns pedigree animals I have to agree with the previous posters. There ARE some breeders trying to work with the health issues of the breed, but they are still numerous even with those guys. You are paying a massive sum for a really unhealthy little critter that has a poor chance of a good life standard, and will cost you $$$$$$ in vet bills throughout their life. Personally I would feel like poo poo having a pet and seeing them constantly struggle with their health, so yeah I think they are one breed I'd 100% say just leave to the serious breeders.

Flyinglemur posted:And lots of people who go into hospitals come out with MRSA. I'm certainly not pro-accupuncture but there are risks associated with everything I guess. Yeah but getting someone non regulated to stick needles in your skin carries more risk than being in a hospital environment. It's more like going into a piercing studio or a tattoo parlor. Except with many more needles that you need to check are all fresh. Human acupuncture can work with a placebo effect for people who believe in it. If you understand that it is no more effective than placebo don't waste your time, it's not going to work for you. And good god definitely do not get acupuncture for your pets, that poo poo is just hosed up and SO MANY vets offer it now. Your pet absolutely does not understand any woo-woo surrounding the technique and instead it's just a scary experience of getting needles stuck in them for no reason.

I say this as someone with very severe arachnophobia, I am going to be starting treatment with a psychologist for it. I walk into a room and I look in the corners for spiders. I check my bedding at night for spiders. I look in the bush I need to pass to get in my car in case there's a spider on it. I have to shake out every towel and tap out the mail from the post box, all kinds of things I am aware are nutty. But it is an irrational phobia and it is what it is. However on the same token I have a hard time believing that most of the anti-gay lobby have are "homophobic", that they actually have a fear. They just seem to really hate gays. And I think hating something to the point of obsession must be a pretty different mechanism.

ToxicSlurpee posted:The thing that baffles me about tumblrite SJWs is that they very frequently completely fail to understand the theories and ideals of the movements they supposedly support. Last I heard feminism was supposed to be about total gender equality going both was. Let's be honest, gender roles aren't always kind to men either and there are some serious men's rights issues but if you dare to suggest something like "sometimes an abusive relationship is a woman hurting a man" you're going to get screamed out of the conversation. I've had some...very interesting experiences discussing my own abusive relationships (I'm a straight man, for the record) in that sometimes at least one SJW will come screaming out of the woodwork to tell me how wrong and awful I am. Because I guess "some women are bad people and should not be able to get away with bad behavior" is a terrible thing to say? Or, you know, "hey abusive relationships suck, nobody should have to deal with that, but men that have had lovely relationships get woefully poor support" is apparently awful. I'm not some MRA arguing that feminism is terrible and ruins everything. What I'm saying is that the SJW view of "men are inherently dangerous to women and women are totally incapable of harming men" is so, so far away from reality. Like yes, women can gently caress up men pretty badly and I have the borderline disorder/PTSD/major depression disorder combination to loving prove it. Not that I need to but just gonna call bs. I am a feminist, but I was the only child of parents where my mother was deeply abusive of my father and I. We experienced a ton of legit and serious men's rights/fatherhood issues when social work and the law wanted to put me into my mother's custody despite her being an alcoholic drug addict, rather than my dad's when he was employed and working to keep us safe. I have a lot of sympathy for these genuine issues and have brought them up when discussing feminism/MRAs online - the response has ONLY been sympathetic towards the situation. I've also called, as an adult, a domestic abuse charity for advice and though they expressed some surprise at how "you usually always hear about this the other way around", again they were nothing but helpful - despite being primarily geared towards women. I've never encountered anyone anywhere who claims that domestic abuse towards men cannot exist - online or irl.

Doesn't that count as a legit mental illness though? If you're convinced you are infested with insects/parasites/fibers? It sounds pretty disturbing for the patient if they genuinely believe it. Not like they are just making something up to pull bullshit on their friends/families.

Yeah the problem here are self-diagnosers and I think fibro and ME suffer from a whole ton of them. It doesn't help they're also somewhat overdiagnosed by doctors who can't be arsed to figure out some patients' real issue. Self-diagnosers are everywhere online though - just look at Tumblr and all the people there who have lists of mental and physical illnesses as long as your arm. Has to be said I lost a friend because I told her she couldn't self-diagnose a brain tumor from having frequent tension headaches (she wouldn't go to the doctor because she didn't want "the bad news") and also she might want to get her self-diagnosis of bipolar confirmed since she didn't really show any signs of it (gently caress psychiatrists man, they don't know anything). She went off the deep end into woo-woo spiritual stuff shortly after we parted ways and self-diagnosed fibro as well.
