Worst of Social Justice

[Second Coming of Madman]

Aren't those guys like the Juggalos of Japan, though? Or was that those grotesque, garishly attired doll-people?

[niam2023]

Are you talking about the lolitas? Or the Gyaru?

[Zygarde]

I think he's talking about that really small subset of cosplayers that wear those really fucking creepy doll anime faces. I would link an image but I don't feel like looking for those things cause they give me fucking nightmares.

One time I went out to eat sushi. as I slowly lift the first piece of delicious mercury-laced fish product to my mouth, I spot a japanese man from the corner of my eye, his face frozen in horror. As I start to take my first bite, he cries out. then suddenly, the sun darkens. The barriers between worlds shatter, and I am unable to move as the shadowlings claim him, dragging him to the Shadow Dimensions to absorb his spirit energy. The next morning I turn on the news, and see that the entire nation of Japan no longer exists. My careless abuse of my white privilege has cost so many lives. Cultural Appropriation is serious business.

To me, it seems much more likely that Samus is trans at 6′3″ than cis.

And trans women are real women so all it does is add another interesting layer to her character rather than make her “not really a woman”

"Women can't be tall unless they're trans!"

Jesus Christ, that's sexist.  Gwendoline Christie (who plays Brienne of Tarth on Game of Thrones) is 6'3 and she's cis.

that, and you can always ad lib something about living in space that makes you grow taller with the apparent lack of gravity. or something. besides, samus is a girl, always has been. never had boy parts. never was trans. just like friggin' link. (zelda could be considered at the very least androgynous, seeing how she was disguised as a guy for years).

[Zygarde]

I thought they explained that as her using magic?

[Askold]

Actually I think the Space-bird-aliens (Chozo?) did some modifications to Samus. If I remember correctly she was a human colonists who was saved by the Chozo(?) after her family had been killed and the aliens modified her body as they turned her into a super-soldier (which may be why she is so tall.) I think the point was that the aliens were so advanced that they had some transhumanism/alienism in almost all of them and modified their bodies to suit whatever job they were doing. Samus got the armour and can even turn into a ball because of those modifications.

...Most of the backstory is in the manga but I don't remember any mention of her being transperson.

[guizonde]

both can claim rape. that's why it's in "worst".

[Id82]

Wait, so the man is automatically at fault even though he was drunk and by their logic could not consent too?

I saw a long debate over that one (or a similarly worded one.) Some claimed that obviously the poster means that Josie was unconscious or at least completely wasted and therefore the poster is correct. Except that in that case it should have been worded in such a way. As it is, the poster presents a double standard, particularly by saying that drunk women cannot consent and placing the responsibility only on guys.

...And what about homosexual hook ups? If it is two guys are they both rapists? Two women in the same scenario means that neither of them is a rapist and both are victims?

You're right.  If anything, she's transhuman, not transgender.

If a guy is sober enough to still get it up...

Delusional but consistent.

don't quote me on this, but with certain meds you can get it up even when drunk as a skunk. viagra and certain antidepressants come to mind. then again, ever heard of the "fear boner"? a man gets a hardon because he's scared for his life? that's why in high school certain guys pull the periscope technique when doing a class presentation. high heartrate, high blood pressure.... but almost unprovable, as nearly no man can go to the police and file a rape report.

All very good points.  Now for the rebuttal.

Ironbite-*points at askold* HE'S A RAPIST!
