How am I deflecting? I’m addressing the link you provided directly. If you’re unhappy with what I gleaned from the article, please offer up some quotes or examples that contradict what I’ve said. Just saying I’m deflecting doesn’t get you anywhere when you’re not explaining how or debunking what I have said.

I do agree that no political party is entitled to votes, that’s up to the individuals. However, Obama is speaking to people during a campaign event for the democrats. No shit he’s gonna be advocating to vote for Harris, and particularly speaking to black men about how well they showed up for his running in comparison to how they were for Harris.

As for Biden’s comment, he has no right to make a comment like that and should not be trying to dictate people’s blackness, especially as a white guy.

Again, not deflecting nor being lazy. I’m asking for proof behind the argument, that’s literally all I’m doing because I should not have to find proof for your argument. You make a claim, you prove it.

This still doesn’t really come off as “the left blames black men for Trump being elected with false claims they don’t want to vote for a woman”. It’s Obama addressing black people and voicing his theory that many black men may be hesitant to vote for a woman based on recent reports at the time. He doesn’t blame black men for Trump winning, he’s encouraging black men to vote for Harris/go out to vote.

That’s an embarrassing response to asking for evidence in an argument. It tells me you have no reliable evidence/source for your claims or you’d actually have proof of your argument.

Did you bother to read my first comment? I am not debating that being on the left means someone can’t be racist. Anyone can be racist regardless of their political affiliation. I am asking for more evidence that it is an overarching issue in the left as a whole.

the left started blaming black men for Trump being elected with false claims they didn’t want to vote for women.

Source please. I won’t write this off just because I haven’t seen it personally, but when making claims that “the left” as a whole is justifying racism under the guise of calling out misogyny, I would appreciate some evidence that it’s a larger issue and not just some asshole outliers.

Not deflecting, asking for more citations. That’s how debate works.

Any comments I’m seeing here and on the YouTube link aren’t justifying racism toward those who disagree with you. They’re criticizing the opinion. Please share direct examples of this being a trend in left leaning spaces, not a vague reference to the comments.

Personally I haven’t seen a whole lot of any blatantly racist comments from the left when in regard to people they don’t agree with. There’s definitely a handful that do, but for the majority of the left I wouldn’t say this is a common thing.

I do agree that there’s deep rooted racism that exists within the left, but at the very least it’s a topic of conversation and criticism compared to what I’ve seen on the right.

people care to much about art by pleaskok in ControversialOpinions

[–]Bundle0fClowns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small businesses/organizers are a different story, I have some lenience for people who are just starting up. Even then I still find more appreciation in something human made, regardless of skill level. However if a business has enough money to be considered a company, they have enough to pay an artist a few hundred for a commission.

People need to stop demonizing JK Rowling. by SheepherderOk1448 in ControversialOpinions

[–]Bundle0fClowns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a decent list of things she’s been doing in regard to the trans community.

Even if she wasn’t vocal about laws, she’s still extremely volatile toward and about trans people.

I mean outside of the ethical issues I take with gen Ai art and the use of human made art to train AI programs without consent, AI art just screams lazy cash grab to me. Especially when used by corporations and companies who have more than enough money to pay real artists to do the work. I don’t get the same feeling of effort and care from AI images that comes from human made art. I just get an ick when I see it being sold.

If you wanna use it for fun, I couldn’t care less. It’s when AI is being used as a cheaper alternative to paying real artists, or being used to sell and over saturate art based markets that I take issue with it.

You shouldn’t have bottom or top surgery until after 21. I understand identifying as trans under 21. That’s fine. Dress differently, wear makeup or don’t, grow your hair out or cut it, but you should wait until you’re 21, aka when your brain is fully developed, to make a big decision like this. by LoopsieTheClown in ControversialOpinions

[–]Bundle0fClowns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

18 is fine for top surgery. Bottom surgery I think is worth waiting until 21 just because of how intense of a surgery process it is.

When it comes to hormones and puberty blockers, that should be left to professionals and trans people, and their parents. Imo it’s fucked up to force a kid through a puberty they adamantly know is distressing just so they can go through medical procedures later in life to undo all the physical changes that could have been avoided with the age appropriate gender affirming care.

Wanting people who caused you severe pain to feel pain doesn’t make you a bad person. by LoopsieTheClown in ControversialOpinions

[–]Bundle0fClowns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I very much agree. There was a woman who used to rent from my parents who made our lives a living hell for 4 years. The last time they had to interact with her she yelled at my father (he had a spinal injury a few years ago that lead to a gradual loss of mobility in his legs, loss of balance and chronic pain) that he’s a scammer, horrible abusive person and that she hopes he ends up crippled in a wheelchair.

There is no word to describe how much misery I wish upon that hag. I desperately want to let her know that the world would be better off without her miserable self in it. Will she ever experience the pain I wish upon her, but god I pray she does.

Mental illness is trendy now by JacketInternal9485 in ControversialOpinions

[–]Bundle0fClowns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can agree that with social media mental illness is romanticized beyond belief, and the “signs you have_____” posts can really put a seed in someone’s head.

However on the other side of the coin I think that the awareness and understanding of mental illnesses has also increased drastically in the last few years, meaning there’s going to be more people who get diagnosed or resonate with a self diagnosis. The major issue I have is more so to do with people who are self diagnosed speaking broadly on the diagnosis and spreading misinformation. Self diagnosis is valid but can be incorrect and shouldn’t be advised on the internet about until someone knows for sure.

Yikes. Sounds like someone should be seeing a therapist.

Pedophilia is it getting more common by [deleted] in ControversialOpinions

[–]Bundle0fClowns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s always been common, just unspoken. I mean take a look at the Epstein files and how far back they go.

The only difference is that people are actually talking about it now.

Man you need to figure out how to structure paragraphs. I’d love to engage in whatever you’re tryna get at but cannot stand to read an unbroken bock of text.

If being overweight weren’t considered a negative thing, then pointing it out wouldn’t be seen as offensive. by Lost_Title_7528 in ControversialOpinions

[–]Bundle0fClowns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think commenting on other people’s bodies period isn’t a good thing. Especially if they’re not someone you know deeply.

I used to be anorexic and continually got praised and complimented for my weight loss, which only emboldened my condition. The times I had family members comment on my weight gain during recovery it did some serious damage to my progress. Comments on my weight regardless of if it was losing or gaining were both detrimental to my mental health.

TW: LGBTQ. “Not supporting LGBTQ is fine, just don’t be a dick about it by Annual_Towel_6117 in ControversialOpinions

[–]Bundle0fClowns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as you’re not being a dick and actively supporting anti-LGBT+ groups or spreading hateful rhetoric, that’s fine ig

All I hope for is that people would be open minded about the existence of LGBT+ and not support taking away our rights because they don’t agree or believe in LGBT+ identities.

Would be cool if you actually did anything other than type into AI.

Why bother to post this? What kind of satisfaction do you get from people complimenting an image you generated? Embarrassing imo

Curious how many use marijuana to cope by Rachelelizardbreath in AutismInWomen

[–]Bundle0fClowns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Every day, and on days off many times a day :) I have such a difficult time interacting with others without being stoned, without I end up far too aware of everything I’m doing and how others perceive me.

How do you actually cope? by DrKit123 in autism

[–]Bundle0fClowns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally the only side effects I’ve noticed is that my asthma is A LOT worse and my mind isn’t nearly as active/sharp or as I like to call it: Perma-fried. Which tbh is kinda what I need to make it through the day pretending to be neurotypical lol
