Kaiju Cage Match posted:EDIT: Whoops you already edited your post, but still. Have a tweet from someone saying Link is privileged. Okay, I really want more on this because there has to be context that makes this even sadder. What is this even apropos of? Ganondorf being dark-skinned [and also super evil] ?

Henchman of Santa posted:Someone I thought I knew since 9th grade unfriended me for saying that ESPN showing Michael Sam's kiss over and over again was reasonable because it was a historic moment. It's great [no it isn't] seeing people get so angry this stuff. I don't understand why people are so furious over two dudes/women dating though.

Stolen from the Public Shaming tumblr "“Fastfood restaurant workers will strike at several locations across Atlanta tomorrow demanding $15 an hour.” BC FLIPPING BURGERS IS SOHARD" read the tweets from the bottom up: e: sweet everloving christ there's like fifteen of them. “Why are fast food workers going on strike. Go to school & get a degree so you can have a real job and make that much money! #FastFoodStrike” "If you strike fast food for more pay your stupid lol it’s a beginners job why tf would you get paid 15$ a hour?" "The fact that fast food workers are on strike internationally for a union and $15/hr wage is stupid. Get a real loving job." RareAcumen has a new favorite as of 05:07 on May 16, 2014 |

trapped mouse posted:This one is absolutely incredible. A. I'm pretty sure "Teabagger" and "Birther" are self-assigned labels. B. The part at the end makes it seem like they agree that they're a racist, a terrorist, anti-american and a greedy capitalist. 'Birther' seems to be like 'Truther' only instead of crowing about how 911 was an inside job it's instead demanding Obama show his birth certificate because It's doing that weird 'Oh I'm selfish because I won't give money to charities because I want to buy another car? Well I guess I'm selfish then!' thing. I honestly don't know how to describe it better than what's literally on the image.

Drunk Nerds posted:When I was 11 on the cusp of puberty, I would do the last one frequently at the library. Find the "joy of sex" books, open one up to a pic of a cock head rubbing against a nipple, drop it in the kids section, wAit in hiding for the screams. To this day, I still wonder, "what the gently caress was wrong with me? How the hell did I turn out semi-normal?!" Milk jug pranks, the knock-out game, sending 'I am a terrorist I have put a bomb in your airport' messages to commercial airline companies. Really, I feel like that's way more benign compared to the new poo poo people are coming up with nowadays.

Guest2553 posted:I wrote a short paper on depleted uranium for a MSc HAZMAT course. Without getting into the boring details, the punch line is that DU is relatively safe and nobody has ever died from exposure. Nor does it travel far in the environment, even in water, because of it's very high molecular weight. I think the conversation drifted off because you might've meant to post in the Uncharted 3 thread!

InediblePenguin posted:yeah like it started as the perfectly reasonable "you can't really expect Every Single Member Of A Given Minority to exist solely to educate you on Minority-Related Issues," which is relevant in situations where it's like "oh hey you're [black/gay/whatever] so tell me what it's like to be [whatever]", but then since people have no understanding of context this has suddenly become "it is never, ever, ANY minority person's place to educate ANYONE EVER AND YOU'RE A BIGOT FOR EXPECTING ME TO" which is... no I just want to say thank you for this post. Because I've seen the tumblr version of it but never the original intent. So I just rolled my eyes and moved on without giving it any real thought because yelling at someone for wanting a simple explanation on things is just stupid.

into the void posted:Sorry to double post, but I know someone who posts run of the mill idiocy about Obama, Washington Redskins, etc. Just stupid, offensive poo poo. Whenever I call them on it (which is rare), I usually get the response of "it's suppose to be offensive; it's satire" or "relax, it's a joke". How do you counter that, because all I've got is...I don't think you know what satire means. Go for broke and call them out on it, make it a huge loving Facebook fight and start off with 'Y'know most racists are just out an about finding everybody else inferior but here you are too scared to just be one without having some shield like 'it's satire!!!!!1' SirPhoebos posted:Just say that for it to be a joke, it needs to actually be funny .

DoctorWhat posted:So many people have taken to using that bit of trivia to lord over others that I've adopted the counterpoint: that the Creature identifies itself as Victor's son, and has as much a claim to the name "Frankenstein" as Victor does. Being serious though, that's just me saying one of the few things I picked up about literature that people get mixed up that I didn't know at first! Frankenstein was the monster and Sherlock Holmes never having actually said 'Elementary my dear Watson!' I wasn't really trying to be an rear end about it when I pointed it out.

You're requiring ~Internet celebs~ to be able to comprehend that it's not some nebulous PC Police deciding that they can't say these words anymore in an effort to make their lives more complicated.
