There's this one which is so eye rolling I don't even know where to start. Also Bohemian Rhapsody is one of those songs that I am so sick of hearing so Beyonce 1, Queen 0 :colbert:

There was another one posted in this thread I love where it was like Blink 182 (I think) vs One Direction, and how Blink 182 took time from their tour to visit a sick kid in the hospital but One Direction, those little pop music PUNKS!!! refused to stop their tour for a sick kid and even charged money (!!!)... Even though a quick google search will tell you that the exact opposite happened and One Direction straight up put a tour on hold and I think even delayed a concert to visit a sick kid in the hospital for free.

I really know which one you're talking about. It's like, the original had all these "old" band with facts about how music artists used to be good samaritans but now all these singers(more like autotuned drones am I right M'lady:smug:) are selfish and petty and...

It was in the last thread but damned if I'll wade through it. Anyway, here's a rather good chart to show that as times change, things stay the same

For someone who claims to be against racism and sexism, she sure likes to use 'white' and 'male' as a pejorative. I mean, not that I think she is actually for equality, she is just feeding her fragile ego (I'm sure that's a gendered insult that means she is fat).

She is the strawman people think of when talking about SJWs and turbo-rabid feminists.

Chomp8645 posted:

I'm guessing they are gendered because she is being called them.

Anyway, she's the girl who was calling for the Colbert Report to be shut down over that "ching wong ding dong" or whatever joke that was satirizing the Redskins controversy. She also told a Huffington Post reporter that he's basically not allowed to have opinions of race/gender because he's a white man.

The best part about this is that she turned the the focus off of the lovely Redskins memorial and basically absolved them of all wrong doing with that lovely name.

OK, Suey Park is an idiot, but I feel compelled to point out that the offending tweet was posted after the episode it goes with was taped...but before the episode itself had aired. That is a joke that REALLY needs context - when read just by itself with absolutely no idea what it is referencing, it can come off as a bit shocking. The real problem is that someone at Colbert Report had an itchy trigger finger.

The whole thing was dumb but it becomes a bit more understandable once you understand the timeline of it all. It was mostly just a huge misunderstanding because, again, bad timing. Context is king. Of course, once it came out what happened and that the tweet was supposed to go along with, a sane person should go 'ooooh yeaaah, I got it now', but Suey just kept going because of stubborn pride. CAN'T BACK DOWN!

Ah, I see. I always thought it was After Episode/context->Tweet
Context really is important...

Can we not use that idiot dichotomy about forum posts, particularly outside of D&D? What killed that thread was that a couple MRAs bitched about feminism and the thread devolved into goons making GBS threads their pants at each other instead of posting context.

Sorry, but that was the reason i put it in quotes. I know it was some group of people who 'we'(general forum audience) rail against(impotently argue about).
All I remember is that it ended up being unironic mocking instead of ironic jabbing.

"A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who was a vowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, “God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I’ll give you exactly 15 minutes.” The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, “Here I am God. I’m still waiting.” It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and lifted up his arm to strike him.

At that moment the professor was transformed into a 7-foot grizzly, wreathed in a halo of holy fire. The bear spoke: “Blasphemer thou art, thou thinkst to take the place of God? Those who deny me face eternal fire, but you who knows my work and yet commits the sin of Satan I curse a hundred times over!” The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently picking at his boils. Then Richard Dawkins burst into the room, wielding a copy of The Selfish Gene and crying “Leave that boy alone, you pathetic atavism!” As the holy bear whirled around, terrible light flashing in its eyes, Dawkins shed his mortal form, raised each of his seven horned heads, and hissed. “It’ssss me you want!”. And then the Lord and the Antichrist joined in the final battle.

The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence.”

And that teacher was Satan incarnate. All hail our dark lord and master.
P.S. We've been going out for 6 years since that day. We're getting married this fall!

Even outside of the silly attempts at "uniqueness," the invented pronoun thing is still smacks of vanity. None of these words are useful when you're directly talking to the person insisting on them. You're only in a position to use them when discussing that person with other people, because the person with craaazy pronouns is so goddamn important why wouldn't you and everybody else talk about them all the time?

Are there any videos of people using these words in a normal conversation? I tried searching(not that deeply) for xirself/ximself and got diddly.

Also, wasn't there a comic about "Respect my pronouns" and "Ask me my pronouns today"?

One of my friends has liked The Amazing Atheist. I'm assuming my friend doesn't know he put a banana in his bottom, but a cursory glance at his facebook page shows him complaining about feminists in nearly every post. Either she didn't read any of that and just went "yes, atheism!" - or she thinks him being a horrible anti-feminist is acceptable if he is also a vocal atheist.

The easiest way to shoot down this poo poo and hear the crickets is going "If it came down to it and your partner suddenly became irrationally violent towards you and you were in a hand to hand fight, how many women reading this think they can overpower their boyfriend and subdue them? Alright how about the vice versa for men?"

Like if someone is being pushed around or berated in public by someone who is a threat to them people generally will either help them or at least call it out. It's almost like men aren't really afraid of women unless they pull out a knife or something, even when they're angry, and both men and women know this. Meanwhile women are terrified of men and often suffer serious injury from them and both men and women know this.

But what about equality :downs:

Best part was when he said women in Vietnam were voluntarily there when they got killed. It reminds me of a teenage me, when I was confused why no left Louisiana during Katrina. "The weather report said it was going to be a massive hurricane. Why didn't you leave!? Dumbasses." It's completely ignorant to the fact that packing up and leaving for an indeterminate amount of time isn't feasible for many(I assume true for those in poorer areas in LA and even more so for those in Vietnam) and that certain people(e.g. elderly, young children) can't be moved as easily as others.
