I know almost nothing about the situation, but anyone who'll go to bat for or shill for right-wing shithead pedophiles is probably also a right-wing shithead pedophile. So Fuck You.
That is all.
That is all.
Oh god.You should've kept listening because Jaffe wholeheartedly agreed with him.
Look, its yet another post pretending like nazism and other bigoted views against minorities and women are somehow valid differing opinions deserving to be heard. Old and played out, and always wrong.There's nothing inherently wrong with the phrase "hivemind", I'm black and a liberal and use the phrase when I feel that people don't in fact think for themselves and just jump on a bandwagon and it happens occasionally right here on Era. There have been threads where there's some initial claim that people take as truth and just react on it without informing themselves or awaiting actual facts and details and they just run with it, only to later look foolish when the initial claims were proven false. It happened recently in Etcetera concerning Dwight Howard where a lot of people were wishing ill upon him and they ended up looking stupid because the claims concerning him weren't true. People come under fire here for having opposing opinions to the general prevailing viewpoint within threads and are mocked for it at times.
People should be allowed to have differing opinions so as long as they aren't hateful, discriminative or seeking to incite violence/wrong treatment against others. So I understand where Jaffe is coming from to a point. People need to relax and understand that we really can't stop people from having or voicing their opinions. There'll always be some impressionable person that will fall victim to their words but I'm not sure if it serves everyone to attempt to stifle and shudder these people, only for them to congregate and bolster themselves.

No no. You misunderstand him. He's saying we're a hive mind for not allowing racists to speak their truth to powerjust wondering which one of these things describes milo fucking yiannopoulos
Non white cleansings are stopped at exactly 12 pm on Wednesday and only at that time. The perfect middle ground!
Just lol at the people in the other thread saying the he's as liberal as it's get and people were overreacting over his tweet defending Milo.

Sounds like a liberal guy to me, don't know what everyone is up in arms aboutYou should've kept listening because Jaffe wholeheartedly agreed with him.
Which is why I agree with some, like the general pronoun "zir". It is to my understanding that it is gender neutral so should be accepted by all.I admittedly don't know a whole lot of trans people so maybe I'm wrong, but this seems like such a small thing that I'm not sure what there is to discuss. If someone tells me what they'd like to be called, I don't have any reason not to call them that. It has so little to do with me and so little weight in my mind that it makes more sense just to go with the path that reduces conflict. If something so trivial on my end makes other people happy, why would I go out of my way not to do it?
It's a dangerous slippery slope where we might have to be accepting of people's identities :(Which is why I agree with some, like the general pronoun "zir". It is to my understanding that it is gender neutral so should be accepted by all.
The reason I don't agree with using all of them is that it will be a slippery slope where we have too many pronouns to the point where it becomes an unnecessary hassle.
It is true what you say in that meeting people who require it are an extremely small percentage, but that's the case today. I'm thinking about future implications.
In the end, the real filter will be whether or not the general public adopts these, but I still believe is a valid subject to discuss, no matter how trivial it is when compared to bigger more important ones.

What exactly is this hassle that you foresee? Say you call someone by the incorrect pronoun and they correct you, would that really ruin your day?The reason I don't agree with using all of them is that it will be a slippery slope where we have too many pronouns to the point where it becomes an unnecessary hassle.
I'm sorry if you took it that way. I'm not trying to find excuses for him or anyone that believes those things as they're patently wrong and destructive to society. He's definitely an asshole. I could use a host of more colorful words but I'm not sure what I can get away with here. My post was more of a "hit him where it hurts" in case he really is reading this. He really is nobody now. Even replying to him is giving him a voice. Unfortunately their are people that are going to believe those things. What's sad is I don't see that ever going away in my lifetime. In America things are more fucked up than ever as the worst this country has to offer have finally been given a pulpit to spew this shit with little fear of consequence or reprisal. And I don't know exactly what 'me' means to you as it's none of my business but I'm sorry this shit has to be a part of your life. Hang in there.No, he's an uninformed asshole unconcerned with how this shit affects people like me.
Please stop trying to find excuses for sympathizers. I don't think this is your intent, but people do this all the time for white people. They don't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Save that for the people these opinions are impacting.

Oh jesus.
i see now. that would actually be some crazy shit if there was a specific word that every person went by. i can't even imagine it.

I was not implying that's what you think, but the whole "message" this thread revolves around is that people should be free to "discuss" such views. I don't know you and I didn't attribute such views to you, sorry if it seemed like that was the case.Tell me, with all honesty, that shit like this isn't more tolerated here when it is as banal, ignorant and dismissive as what alt-right bigots spew.
P.S. sorry to disappoint you.
How big of a hassle is it to correct yourself if someone asks you use a certain pronoun? You realize this isnt even a problem in the slightest? Language is constantly evolving. If in the future we have multiple different pronouns we'll use them, if not and some still prefer something different you just nod and call them what they prefer. Simple as 1, 2, 3.
It's amazing that somebody would still choose fucking Milo as the hill to die on.
it's sad that in the gaping vacuum of Populat Online Racist there hasn't been anyone with any amount of charisma to take his placeIt's amazing that somebody would still choose fucking Milo as the hill to die on.
That's him. He seems very precious towards any sort of criticism.

It's a good catch-all. There are very very few people you can throw out massive lists of negative adjectives about and have them all be accurate, yet Milo finds a way! Asshole, racist, Nazi, homophobic pedophile? And those are the ones he's proud of. I'm not sure I know of many others can can pull that much off at once. It's generally 3-4 max for most career trolls.

New hardware is like new pussy. It's exciting at first but after you've experienced enough fresh vagina over the years- while there's still always a bit of excitement when something new comes along- you learn that sooner than later, the new and exciting becomes the standard and dependable and so it's best to just stay focused and greatful on what you've got at the moment and if you need to make a change, it'll just happen organically.
