"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

I love Brennan's commitment to reminding you that he was hideously bullied for being a fucking weird nerd, ESPECIALLY when you're watching content about how outrageously successful and beloved he is now for being a fucking weird nerd.

Dita Von Teese was so right, you really can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches. And depending on the social dynamics of your school, there may be a few high-status people who hate peaches who can bring enough people on board to make your life a living hell.

Brennan was bullied so badly that he had to be pulled out of school and homeschooled. Those kids hated his ass! And look at him now. What more proof do you need that being surrounded by people who want to kill you during your school years doesn't say fucking anything about how loveable you are or what your life will be like as an adult.

Making a post about this since several people seem to be confused or unaware of how bad what tumblr did to John Green was; he has OCD and this website gleefully harassed him with accusations of pedophilia because Hazel and Augustus have non-explicit sex in The Fault In Our Stars until he had a mental health breakdown and left Tumblr. The cock monolog was NOT a one off event he overreacted to(though I would argue it's homophobic as the entire joke was "man likes penis" like how tf else are we supposed to interpret that) it was part of a targeted, abelist harassment campaign against a mentally ill author who simply committed the crime of being too popular and writing teenagers accurately.

Like...not to get too heavy but being a pedophile is the most common intrusive fear OCD causes, I should know, I have it and those intrusive fears(not using intrusive thoughts becauss that term has been ruined and imo doesn't convey what's actually going on, they aren't thoughts they're obsessive phobias with no basis in reality) are the worst ones. Makes me break out into a cold sweat and feel like I'm going to cry and vomit at the same time. Sometimes makes me scared to even be around kids even though I know I am not going to harm them because OCD fears are not usually about things you're actually at risk of doing, just things you're terrified of doing accidentally somehow. So harassing someone who has been very open about his OCD like that specifically with unfounded and untrue accusations of csa is an ableist hate crime as far as I'm concerned. Every single person who took part in that should be fucking ashamed and I assume they are given that all most people remember is the fucking cock post. Ofc it gets boiled down to that, to hide what people were actually saying and how bad it was. It's just a guy overreacting to a silly post about sucking dick, nevermind that he's a YA author with a debilitating mental illness, nah. He's just being a wet blanket.

I won't say the Green Brothers are perfect they've both dropped the ball imo on a few occasions, but that's normal for huge public figures and does not justify what happened. No one should ever take pride in that moment, nor should they behave as though it was just one stupid post, and if you didn't know what actually happened that's because people act like it was just a stupid post, but it wasn't. It was so much more than that.

"i don't care if they make their whole way though uni with chatgpt" i think you guys are so internetpilled that you have forgotten there are actual jobs out there that require people to know what they are doing in any way possible or else people die

the most aggravating fans are the ones that become huge fans of a villainous character but just can’t handle the fact that the villainous character does villainous things and instead said fans invent a million assbackwards headcanons about how the villain is TOTALLY not a villain at all and is some tragic blob where nothing is their fault even up to and including murder and genocide

i am just so baffled by this

watching a video and realizing I miss the term "flame war", it was JUST tongue-in-cheek goofy enough of a term to describe how silly it was to carry on long arguments online over shit that doesn't matter and was often started/spurned by a troll. Now ALL of it is just "discourse" or "engagement" which feels like they put a godawful slap of PR paint over the surface of flame wars like a cheap landlord looking to charge 1000 dollars more for the same crumbling walls

Star Wars has three types of guy: Fump Geezgo from the Womflee system, Stabba Badguyman, and Chris

people are really fucking clueless about generative ai huh? you should absolutely not be using it for any sort of fact checking no matter how convenient. it does not operate in a way that guarantees factual information. its goal is not to deliver you the truth but deliver something coherent based on a given data set which may or may not include factual information. both the idolization of ai and fearmongering of it seem lost on what it is actually capable of doing

[superrex319]

I feel like the big push for AI is starting to flag. Even my relatively tech obsessed dad is kinda over it. What do you even use it for? Because you sure as hell dont want to use it for fact checking.

There's an advertisement featuring a woman surreptitiously asking her phone to provide her with discussion topics for her book club. And like... what. Is this the use case for commercial AI? This the best you could come up with? Lying to your friends about Moby Dick?

"sorry that probably doesn't make much sense" <- for perfectly intelligible & logical statements relevant to the present conversation

"you get what I mean." <- for unparsable non sequiturs

Watching Star Wars in chronological order is so funny.

Obi-Wan Kenobi really took one look at R2D2 in the middle of the desert and said “No, Luke, I’ve never seen this fucking droid in my life. Looks like a real bitch though. Not that I’d know. This is my first time meeting the asshole.”

No one in that whole franchise was Gatekeep-Gasslight-Girlbossing quite like “Ben” Kenobi, regular human-man.

It's scary to be transgender in the world right now but if you're transgender I love you and we have to stick together and keep fighting and keep living and keep loving

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.
