For strong womyn everywhere: "Internet Plus Equality"

[Gahars]

You mean all those times I said "I quite like this [paid for] book, however you can pick up a lot it from [this free website]" (also substitute as appropriate for software where you might just have to do a bit more work) I was in fact a bad person?

Indeed. As it turns out, libraries are also intellectual heist factories.

Because "doing your own research" and "providing information for free" is oppression now. God forbid someone doesn't hand you the money you're so entitled to.

The kicker? The guy got harassed into taking his gist down.
pro tip: typing unique stuff in all caps makes it way more easy to find it, so let's give the unidentified owner of http://thewomansplainer.com/ (real talk: look at this page and tell me it isn't meant as satire without smirking/bursting into laughter) a thankful nod.

Well, their plan worked.

"superior intellect" yet they fall for this blatant bait.

I've been studying evolutionary history so I can confirm this. Amoebas with black pigment appeared and then amoebas with white pigment started popping up and it was all downhill from there.

I know I love to joke about it, but this obsession with cultural appropriation just gets to me. It's so weird seeing these supposed progressives acting as if culture is tangible property and demanding it remain segregated along racial lines. Maybe I've said it before, but it's such a blatantly segregationist attitude, and it amazes me that so many people can spout the rhetoric without doing a double take.

if poc appropriate white people stuff to take revenge on white people appropriating poc stuff, then poc forfeit their original culture in favor of white culture and therefore they ultimately will BECOME WHITE THEMSELVES.

Don't you see? white people win no matter what you do!! Man it just rustles my jimmies just thinking about it.

This sounds like something I would read in this thread, Poe's Law and all.

I know I've seen the "doctors are oppressing me" line in this thread already.

I wonder what would happen if we threw Neanderthals and expansion/migration into the mix, I also wonder if this lot combined with the 6000 year old earth lark.

What were the "racist" remarks the person made?

 

[FAST6191]

As I am neither brave enough not masochistic enough to do my own original research in this instance has there been any reaction to the latest episode of south park?

 

[FAST6191]

Not sure if it is strictly related but the logic used almost certainly goes to the same parties as other things seen in this thread and the related ones


Potential for editing abuse and iffy sample selection aside, I did not realise there was this level of ignorance going on. I am drawn to wonder if it is the pithy message overrides evidence that takes more than two sentences to summarise thing.

"Handicar" got way less of a tumblresque outcry than "Cissy", sparked some small discussions about "Uber" and related services but nothing really noteworthy (at least I haven't noticed anything).

Same disclaimer re edit and select, still quite related:

The Penn and Teller stuff on GMO was probably the last thing I saw from US TV on the matter, though I was thinking more about the organic stuff.

Tumblr in a nutshell

Old news, but I still found it entertaining, especially the bit where the "rape victim" didn't know she was raped until someone else told her she was. Also the bit where she encouraged the "rapist".

Remember, kids! If you have a vagina, you are not responsible for any consequences of your own poor judgement.

no

There's a time when the only thing you need to accept is that the shape your body is highly unnatural to the point of health problems. Besides, even regarding looks, you can't just make people find that shit attractive. That's not how brains work, and I'm sure this person in the photo's brain isn't working anyways.

A Student Union refuses to commemorate the Holocaust because it's "Eurocentric" and "Colonialist"

Shut it down, the goyim know!

Well, okay, surely they're just joking here or someth-

A motion was proposed at the Goldsmiths Students’ Assembly yesterday to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day and victims of genocide.

Education officer Sarah El-alfy urged students to vote against the proposal, rejecting it as “eurocentric”.

This comes a day after it emerged the NUS voted against a motion to condemn ISIS and support the Kurdish resistance on the grounds of “Islamophobia”.

One student added: “The motion would force people to remember things they may not want to remember.”

What were the "racist" remarks the person made?

You scared me away form this thread for a bit. I don't remember exactly. It might've been actually racist, it might've been Tumblr "racist," but either way, that "Step in line or you're next" attitude gave me the heebie-jeebies.

Lena Dunham is a hack and it amazes me that so many critics are happy to drink her special brand of Kool-Aid. I guess you have to play victim when you're so low on talent and capability.

 

[FAST6191]

I knew there was a reason I actively avoided joining any kind of student union. Mind you if they are going to provide comedy as good as this then I might have to sit in some. Hopefully I can contain the laughter or keep it at low level chortling, though being forcibly ejected from such a meeting would be a high point for me.
