Title: Worst of Social Justice - Take 2
Post by: Lana Reverse on September 21, 2017, 05:07:41 pm
Since the old thread is basically dead and buried, I decided to start a new one.

I think I've seen this one floating around twitter so I know the person who said it a little bit.

It pains me to know this was said unironically.

That sounds utterly silly - Almost on the level of "it is transphobic for you to be trans".

And just in case people think this kind of lunacy is confined to the Internet:

TL;DR

"Whitey to the back."

"No."

"You're being racist right now."

Context: The National Post is the right-wing rag of Canadian newspapers. I trust them to be unbiased about as much as I'd trust a paper like the Vancouver Courier (a local left-wing rag) to be unbiased.

Well, now that you say that, I'm looking at this more skeptically.

Here's the CBC's article on the same issue.

I would note that I believe both are the same article, however, taken from The Canadian Press.

Gee, I wonder if a white performer could pull the old "whitey to the front, darkies to the back" in the name of "anti-racism" and have so many people buy it?

Don't these people realize that stuff like this is only gonna give the 1488 crowd more ammo? That's what really gets me.

i’m so fucking tired of the “personal empowerment” aspect of feminism that libfems latch onto - i don’t give a shit if stripping makes you feel “empowered”, or if wearing eyeliner so sharp it could kill a man makes you feel “empowered”, or if filming porn makes you feel “empowered”, you are STILL HURTING WOMEN. feminism is not about the individual, it is about the collective, and the fact of the matter is, makeup still upholds traditional standards of beauty, so i don’t care if you “do it for yourself”, you’re still upholding patriarchal structures. and the fact of the matter is, more women in sex work are abused than not, so no, i don’t give a flying fuck if your experiences haven’t been bad, or if you love what you do, or if you feel empowered, but you are STILL PERPETUATING SYSTEMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST AND OPPRESSION OF WOMEN. just because it doesn’t personally affect you doesn’t mean it’s not harmful to other women.
 feminism isn’t about the individual, it’s about the collective

Any sufficiently radical feminism is indistinguishable from patriarchy.

"When women enter the Massachusetts Legislature building, State Representative Michelle DuBois says there’s one door they try to avoid: the “General Hooker Entrance.”

“Female staffers don’t use that entrance because the sign is offensive to them,” DuBois told WBZ-TV.

Now DuBois says it’s time for the entrance, actually named after the prominent Civil War general Joseph Hooker, should be taken down or renamed."

tl;dr version: she wants it renamed because people make immature sex work related jokes about it. Mind you the guy its named after is a hero who helped stop the Confederates. So I'm kinda of the mind that this man's legacy is more important than middle school humor and as such should overshadow the hooker jokes.

Yeah, because there's only ever one kind of disadvantage and only one kind of privilege. Wonder if her parents are upper class?

So all those black men who got lynched during Jim Crow really were guilty?

Nothing can disgust me more than radfems or gender critical feminists in general really pretending to be radical and rebellious only to have this pocket of empathy reserved for males that they market as “being a good person”, (this is often done with the intention of fighting off the stigma of being an effective feminist, they want to integrate parts of patriarchal morality and politeness to maintain a semblance of normalcy with ‘society’)so much so they will throw another feminist under the bus for not sharing this empathy for males. I’ve honestly had to take a break from tunglr for a couple days/week because the site of “we’re so radical until it comes to doing something about males” makes me sick. What is the fucking point if u can’t even grow some ovaries and call out the extent of male physicality, why only go as far to highlight necrophilia to differentiate yourself from mainstream women, enough to earn you a few arguments online, but not as far as to make that difference material in your lives as far as being honest about maleness and throwing out politeness and morals which censor feminist critique.

Ugh. All the virtue signalling I’ve received for stating males enjoy being taken advantage of by women and none have actually addressed anything, its shooed off as impolite meanie weanie bad girl uwu as if males are women and I should consider them as female; with the capacity to have boundaries and emotion when it comes to sexuality like women do. These same feminists supposedly understand that males are completely physical necrophiles….yet don’t want to discuss the extent of their necrophilia if it brings them an amount of stigma they’re uncomfortable with getting, they revert back to the same ‘morality’ and politeness that they were condemning in their other posts.

I am not salty about that particular post just highlighting it as its a microcosm of what being a non-liberal feminist is like these days, in fifty years we’ll still be talking about the same fucking shit (males are evil but we’ll be too be bad if we kill them) and nothing will ever change because admitting male necrophilia is cool when it makes u different from the liberal kweers but not so cool when it pushes the envelope of societal politeness, and decency. I no longer buy that these feminists are unaware that their hipstering of feminism is still beneficial to males. They know.

Meh, that just comes off to me as someone mildly venting frustrations about not being listened too, not some kind of genuine extremism.

There are better ways to vent than putting down black men.

True, but Lana reverse paragon has a history of reading someone on the left sarcasticly venting briefly and declaring them completely serious for the sake of both sideism.

jesus christ

If someone is venting or not is entirely independent of who posted the screencap.

I swear, one day Lana will say Trump is a bad president and y'all will jump to point out his upsides for the sake of not agreeing with her.

Its honestly gotten to the point where this is how most threads tend to go;

Lana: (posts something)

Other Posters: DYNAMIC ANAL PARAGON! EIGHT YEAR OLDS DUDE! (Insert other Paragon memes)

Like, call out her free speech absolutist posts when they come up. But this is just plain sad.

Taking a leave from my hiatus to chime in here.

Sorry kids, Lana's not wrong on this. Yeah some of what she's posted is daft but this isn't. Someone who reckons a black bloke has to read the collected works of bell hooks before contending that racism is shite is fucking pants on head mental!

Here's Katy Sullivan attacking The Rock for playing an amputee in Skyscraper:

The whole thing is stupid, but what's especially dumb is her throwing shade on Gary Sinise for his role in Forrest Gump:

Quote
I was quite young when I saw Forrest Gump. I didn’t know who Gary Sinise was then (sorry, Gary) and for the first time IN MY LIFE, I saw another human being whose body looked like mine, a double above-the-knee amputee (don’t get me started on the fact that he was a man — lack of female perspective is a separate letter altogether). Then I found out that Gary was able-bodied, wearing long green socks on his lower legs, and they erased them out of the film. And in that instant, I felt erased too.

Um, you know Lt. Dan has functional legs for most of the Vietnam scenes, right? What were they supposed to do, force Sinise to become an amputee for real?
