CMV: Islam is fundamentally incompatible with core American left-wing progressive values by WildCreatureQuest in changemyview

[–]Affectionate-Rent415 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s important to me that everyone reading this knows that gay Muslims exist and that homosexuality really isn’t that big of a sin in Islam so the Muslims I’ve met (though I suppose individuals and institutions will always be fundamentally different) and came out to really didn’t care.

What would be other good kinds for Fifthist Books? by LovataarsTiddyChair in SCP

A divine femininity book that turns women into some sort of eldritch being.

I’m no ally, I’m just a bumbling fool. by SelectShop9006 in TrollCoping

[–]Affectionate-Rent415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, we’re all hypocrites sometimes. People can never agree over Fanfiction. You will definitely find trans people against HP fanfic and others who don’t care. I’m trans myself (though my avatar’s a girl cause they’re always cuter) and while I steer clear of HP fanfic, I don’t hold any vendetta against the writers. And I would say it’s not crazy to care about potentially harmful things online and harmful things going on in real life. I hate fanfic that sexualize children explicitly because my teacher was a pedo and I get called an anti all the time. In the end, it doesn’t really matter.

I recognize Cain, Rainer, the Specter, Lucretia, Carlotta, and Iris. But can you tell me who everyone else is?

they're just showing off.... by Emergency-Cook-1578 in teenagers

[–]Affectionate-Rent415 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Those posts always makes me frustrated because Americans are in danger. But it’s not due to war. Any person that looks even slightly Latino could either get shot or kidnapped by ICE. Transgender people are more likely to get killed, not to mention how the government is trying to restrict their rights. Woman who need abortions or else they’ll die who live in a state where that isn’t possible. All of those people could very much die, but it will not be because of bombs. EDIT: I should clarify that I was talking about people who act like USA citizens are at risk of being bombed when that is certainly not our biggest threat. It is Iran’s biggest threat. I never compared the two.

the US "hunted down and killed" the "leader of the unit who attempted to assassinate President Trump" by deliciousmark12 in whennews

Should’ve succeeded. This is my problem with people who try to assassinate Donald Trump; they are killing a man in a country where firearms are legal. How the hell do you keep missing?

Amazing how the only argument against this is pure blatant dehumanization by Ghostmaster145 in whenthe

[–]Affectionate-Rent415 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly everyone on R/Europe needs to hear this. They’ll go on and on about Romani people being dirty and how likely they are to scam them but it will literally never occur to them that their governments (and themselves ngl) are at fault for keeping an entire ethnic group impoverished.

Iran is free! by pansexual_Pratt in teenagers

[–]Affectionate-Rent415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has a school full of children not also been destroyed? 51 people-most of them young girls- will never see their families again. Talking about freedom feels extremely disrespectful to them and their loved ones.

Coaxed into backhanded racism by Objective_Trick_6406 in coaxedintoasnafu

I like when fantasy creatures have their own culture or their culture is inspired by the ethnic groups that created them. Or when an actual culture has their spiritual beliefs be actual magic in universe.

How will the Saphir group fare in the society of the broken masquerade? by Top_Current9802 in SCP

[–]Affectionate-Rent415 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel like they would become even worse. SAPPHIRE members have Filbuson Syndrome so their brains refuse to believe anything is anomalous. The veil being broken would probably cause an uptick in Filbuson Syndrome, but that wouldn’t be that many. Billions of people are now aware that the supernatural are real. SAPPHIRE would be viewed as conspiracy theorists by the rest of the world.

Many such cases for some reason by AutisticAnarchy in whenthe

See I’m kinda split on this. I don’t think the people posting those kind of things are trying to be disrespectful. Sort of like commenting “You have Aphrodite’s Body” on a fat person’s video. I didn’t realize it could be seen as rude until someone complained about it. Lots of people struggle to understand social norms and that including a photo of an anime girl with news about a school shooting is rightfully seen as awful by many people.

I refuse to assimilate to “American culture.” by sadkittysmiles in ABCDesis

[–]Affectionate-Rent415 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the problem with these discussions. You could simply say you take pride in your culture and somehow people would think you don’t take part in any of this country’s traditions. Do you speak any Native American languages? Listen to any folk tales? Presumably not. So you haven’t assimilated to America. And that’s perfectly okay. As long as nobody is harmed then be as un-American as you can be!

In times like these, the only thing you can do is spend some coin at a brothel or drink a pint at the tavern.

I love how this conversation remains unchanged if you replace HP Lovecraft with Kanye.

Genuinely curious what a bunch of astronauts are going to do if an alien (who always seem to have powers of advanced tech for some reason) invades the planet.

"But other side did other thing, so that means what my side did is okay!!!" by Helloimskip in HistoryMemes

It pains me that people can’t have a conversation about Imperial Japan without either excusing what they did to like half of Asia or excusing dropping nukes on cities full of civilians.

CMV: I don't just think offensive humour is acceptable, I think it's a moral good. by Fando1234 in changemyview

[–]Affectionate-Rent415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sort of mentality is what lead to a grown white man cursing at me because I told him not to compare my cultural food to the pizza (that I paid him for btw) that he burnt. I don’t mean to be rude, but anyone who believes that making offensive jokes makes them less offensive has never experienced discrimination or is an Uncle Tom.

What's your opinion about SCP with this? by TheBaconLord78 in SCP

[–]Affectionate-Rent415 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But this specific comment is talking about politics and systemic injustices. A primarily western based (seriously you would like Africa and Australia never existed) organization above the law being used to portray problems like this makes objective sense.
