Worst of Social Justice

It's apparently misogynistic to call someone out on their rampant sexism.

Not getting special accommodations that you (apparently) didn't even bother to ask for in the first place isn't oppression.
And lol at college being a "stress free environment."

If the guy had asked beforehand for some accommodations for some mental illness and they were denied then I can see this as persecution, but having to go to college is a privilege.

Anybody on here hear about the Nash Grier stuff going on over a YouTube video?

Fuck that kid. Long story short, he and his friends put up a video talking about "what guys want in girls". They were basically setting their ideal standard for a girl and saying that girls should change themselves to follow it if they wanted to get a boyfriend, which included things like:

* Being petite and having a cute smile.

* Shaving all facial and body hair.

* Playing "hard to get" without being too easy, because that makes you a whore. But don't play too hard to get, or guys think you don't like them and they won't care about you.

* You can never be better at video games than a guy. Period.

The video lasted five days before backlash resulted in it being deleted.

Inspired by this, people looked up more about him. Turns out he's got a downright obscene amount of homophobic statements on his Twitter.

Well, I have heard many different accounts of it by now, including one by the internetaristocrat guy who was linked to here for his Tumblrisms videos. Due to that video by IA, I had been under the impression that the video was about what Nash thought was attractive in girls.

Accounts of internet events can be rather strange. All the same, I am glad things have been corrected.

Though this also raises some questions, which I will ask in the confidential forum.

Reminder to not say “same-sex marriage” as that is cissexist and transphobic as fuck.

Oh, I know. I brought it up because the entire outcry against Miley from SJWs has been accusing her of trying to "appropriate black culture." My point is that with all of the mish-mash that modern culture is today, and with how so many specific aspects of a culture are present in various forms in other cultures, screaming "APPROPRIATION!" is utterly ridiculous.

Just about every culture that exists nowadays only exists in its current form because of appropriation that took place over centuries past, but no SJW would ever talk about that. They'll gladly eat pizza, burgers, and hot dogs when all of these "American" foods come from other cultures (hamburgers in particular are confusing, as they're believed to have originated all the way back with the Mongols and spread to Germany from there). Maybe they've said "c'est la vie" or other phrases from a foreign language, all while decrying white people who use terminology repeated from black rappers.

On top of their almost definite hypocrisy in talking about appropriation, the entire idea of "cultural appropriation" is ridiculous in more ways than one. It treats culture essentially like a sacred cow, something to be viewed carefully from afar and harshly restricted to very specific people. I'm not talking about genuinely offensive things, like Halloween costumes of racist stereotypes or turning sacred items like Native American war bonnets into cheap fashion statements. I'm talking about any attempt to prevent the intermingling of cultures, and trying to ban people from taking aspects that they enjoy and trying to incorporate them into their lives. It ironically ends up being racist in its own way: only certain people are allowed to do certain things, and another race doing it "just ain't right."

Ah. Yeah, I agree -- the vast majority of "cultural appropriation" claims I've seen have been utter bullshit. I can understand frustration when a new style, etc. becomes prominent within a minority and is initially regarded as "uncivilized", yet suddenly becomes cool and trendy when a white person finds a way to make money off of it and/or the white people doing it are given a disproportionate amount of credit while the minorities who originated the trend are largely ignored, but that strikes me as more of an issue of straight-up racism rather than cultural appropriation. Saying "white people can't be rappers/twerk/etc." doesn't solve the problem, or even address the core issue. If anything, it only makes the problem worse.

Am I appropriating from the Chinese if I eat rice?

I would be completely unsurprised if somewhere on Tumblr, someone has argued that breathing is appropriating from the first animal species to breathe oxygen.

I usually just say "same gender marriage", though I'm sure someone out there has a problem with that.

Gender is fake.

Same marriage.


Same is ableist.

It's offensive to fuckdicks with headmates multiple systems, as they have more than one identity.
