Sorry, I didn't realize not liking people cutting minorities out of profiting from their own culture was a controversial opinion.

They're not owed a profit. If they can't cater to the market, someone will.

Ahahaha, no, jackass. If you aren't pulling in the people you want, cater to them. It's a service industry. Not a culture faire. Bootstraps has nothing to do with it. They already have a restaurant. Changing décor isn't bootstraps.

I was joking. I didn't say anything about people being owed a profit as you said. I just said it's a dick move. And as CommonShore said, just changing decor to cater to white people isn't going to help restaurants located in places deemed "bad" parts of town. And struggling restaurants don't necessarily have the funds to revamp their interiors. It's just a lovely situation, and people capitalizing on it to cut others out is just lovely behavior, no matter how good a market strategy it is.

Ah, okay. I'm sorry. As put now, I agree.

There's a law covering how you handle classified documents. General Petraeus got convicted and received a couple of years probation for it. Clinton era advisor Sandy Berger got 2 years probation as well when he was caught destroying classified documents.

So you don't go to jail, but you do lose your security clearance. That probably wouldn't make someone ineligible for office though. Be kind of funny if you were a D.C. probation officer and the President had to visit you every month.

But yeah, important men get convicted of this and there's enough evidence to warrant an investigation. So not really sexism.

There was an investigation though? Headed by republicans, and they didn't find anything. I remember because freep threw a shitfit

Advertising is inherently a predatory practice so yes people who "fall for it" are victims.

There are hundreds upon hundreds of people sitting in boardrooms across the country spending most of their day figuring out the best ways to get the public to buy their products for more money, meanwhile an overworked mom buys the pink razors because they can be found in the "women" section and she doesn't feel like spending an extra five minutes of whatever free time she has meticulously price-comparing different brands, yet somehow the mom is the one to blame. Ok.

Holy poo poo. Holy loving poo poo.

Advertising is predatory. Yes. But, it's equally predatory. They don't give a gently caress about you having a dick or a vag or what you identify as. If they can say or do something to make you pay an extra dollar, they will. This is not a women's issue. This is a marketers are shitheads issue. Congratulations on making the most retarded stand possible on the most retarded issue, and setting back progress on real women's issues by years.

Outside of the Something Awful Dot Com Forums, terms can pass or be borrowed from one vernacular to another without it being some kind of ironic, mocking affectation.



I'm aware, but as I said, I never heard it used by the original group, and was providing rebuttal + context as to why it's not as simple as a sweeping "if you don't like bae you're racist." From my frame of reference, it was first used by white 20somethings, so the initial association was racist-seeming usage, which is a tough association to move past for just a word.

Can we just merge all of these threads into a single "PYF Awkward Internet Bullshit"

No, because there's too many posts between all the threads to have any sort of cohesion of thought. Also, not everyone wants to follow each thread. I don't follow the AUG thread because I can just look in a mirror if I want that, and I don't follow anti-food porn because I have enough issues with food.

Frankly I find it juvenile and mealy mouthed of the mods to do that. "Wah, I don't like these threads so I'm going to poo poo them up." Regular posters get probation for that poo poo.
