This is the core of why I despise "but what if the genders were reversed?" arguments.
At their core they rely on the premise that patriarchy isn't a real thing.

honestly I don't think that's even the argument, considering they've been explicit about it coming from paypros.
the true motivation is to not make conservatives feel icky. for marketing purposes.
classic example is jotaro being 17
like yeah alright
being real tying that to canonical age is silly because there are so many characters with a canonical age that I don't think anyone involved thought very hard about?
It's so funny that there's a whole spectrum of dumb guys who think the Art of War will make them brilliant tacticians, when it's just a pamphlet so coddled Princelings don't get immediately slaughtered or fragged by their own officers on their first command.
leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"
No I mean give it to the USSR now
we can have a sequel and stuff
I'm also in favor of giving that bit to the USSR, just to see what happens
tumblr user pattern-recognition: "problematic class consciousness gap" followed by a picture of Akko Kagari and Diana Cavendish in which Akko says "you have no idea how hard the people of the lower classes are working!"
Somehow, history has returned.
I think it's a cheap gotcha. Not unlike supposedly pro-lgbt progressives trying to paint their opponents as actually gay because "they'd hate that".
Doesn't work and shouldn't ever be done, I feel.

societies typically talk about human cognition as working similarly to whatever is seen as the latest and greatest technology. that’s why we currently describe the brain as a roguelike deckbuilding game about characters making their way up a spire
Now, I'm working off of incomplete information here, so if there was something else, I genuinely don't know, but otherwise, yeah.
I don't think it's that unreasonable to express frustration at a term, sincerely.
Like, even if there was a latent disagreement in the "are they leftists or not" issue, I don't think any of it was absurd.
I feel this went way out of proportion.
already am :(
can't :(
This feels like arguing with a platonic ideal. It's a bit like saying "oh being [minority] or doing [thing] doesn't make you a good person" and like
duh?
I still value perverts in a society that has severe sexual hangups but of course that doesn't make them commies wtf
Like yeah I do think leftist is a sort of meaningless term and the left-right dichotomy is simplistic to the point of being harmful to discourse
And commenting on that, even if it didn't serve the main thing, is not, like, rude? It'd be tangential at worst?
Hmm. Being genuine about all this (and having only seen the initial context but not the fallout because of the block), I do agree with your point and don't think it was an unreasonable thing to say? I don't think it was even justification or disagreement?
hate when I watch/read something that is making a point I broadly agree with but arguing it poorly gah
An analysis of over 14 million social media posts from accounts in Canada found that 87% of conspiratorial claims come from just 100 influencers.
This minority of users impacts politics, influencing what people view as normal and leads to self-censoring to avoid attacks from conspiracy theorists.
O conspiracionismo, o incelismo, o nazismo, todas as tendências que povo trata como se fossem emergências telúricas do pior da natureza humana, ou atavismos medievais, são na verdade propaganda maciça vinda de cima pra baixo. São guerra de classes.

the funny thing is that despite my best efforts (/s) I do pass a little bit, somehow
