I'd find it hard to rank my top 10 Survivor seasons. God I hate this show so much.

I also watch 40 seasons of things I hate




That was sarcasm. I do not do that.

You must be a Star Trek fan as well!

I super am, in fact. I don't hate watch anything except political speeches, though

I've been very disappointed by some seasons of Trek and of Survivor (albeit less so) but if I ever actually hated it I'd just stop watching. :shrug:

Tell me more about reinforcing the patriarchy though :allears:

Ok

Using adjectives as nouns is often a verbal trick used to minimize and marginalize, replacing a person with a single characteristic

Females. Blacks. Gays. Schizophrenics.


Whatever the speaker's intent, people hearing this over and over form mental associations and frames that may structurally reinforce the dehumanization of others. If your intent is pure, you'll probably never notice it, but it has a compounding and confirming effect on people who harbor those ideas and on their victims who hear it casually used by others.

It's probably a small effect, and it's a judgement call whether you should be "reclaiming" the term or even caring about it's possible harm to others, but that's the one minute answer.




Edit: oh poo poo I thought this was the Wendy's drive-through, but it's the Survivor thread

Watching a bunch of people complete the same general type of obstacle course for the 1000000th time is generally not as entertaining as showcasing the contestants, most of whom remain largely anonymous 2 episodes into the season

Especially considering time is already dedicated to the EDGE OF EXTINCTION

Lets be honest though, attractiveness is a casting criteria. They don't make people hang out in bikinis and underpants by accident, they are selling a lot of things but one of them is bonars. That doesn't mean we should be weirdo creeps, though

When you look at recipe books it's always called the 'Meat and Fish' chapter

Always, eh?



Culinary tradition gets a lot "wrong" obviously, like mischaracterizing fruits, nuts, "shell fish" etc. It is true things are often listed that way. Still seems odd as hell when I see it. Some say "meat and poultry" too.

where most of us would say "I'd like to do X but that will hurt the other people and get me in trouble, so I won't because its not worth it" she's just saying "I know this will cause me trouble, but I'm going to do it anyway." That's kind of nuts because its not how we tend to act, but its actually pretty easy to follow.
The issue with stability that you glossed over is what goes into the X

For most people, it wouldn't matter what lovely thing went into the X because they wouldn't do something if they determined it was bad for their game. She might. That's not someone you want to be in an alliance with or even at camp with.




I'm not saying she is literally mentally infirm, but she behaves in an unpredictable way because she is apparently willing to act on her most self-destructive whims.

I think Shambo’s weirdness was her legitimate personality, whereas I think a lot of Wendy’s weirdness (although not all of it) is an act and bid for attention.
