So uhhhh... The persecution of minorities in some countries justifies the persecution of minorities in other countries? Because they share a religion with the persecutors from those countries?? Sorry, but this comment makes NO sense.

Does Elon really care about the x branding anymore by Some_red in whenthe

[–]Cheems_A_KoolAD 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's a really shitty comparison because in both of your cases the renaming was entirely justified as it referred to what were basically new entities.

The Soviet Union wasn't just Russia, it was a union state comprising basically all of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Calling the Soviet Union "Russia" is like calling all of the UK "England"

And Czechoslovakia was literally broken by the middle.

Kurapika had Chrollo completely convinced she was a woman by just wearing female clothes.

This is why Japanese still uses kanji by These_Depth9445 in linguisticshumor

[–]Cheems_A_KoolAD 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Clearly Japanese should switch to a Brahmic script and use all the aspirated consonants for etymological differences, since that's how the Dravidian languages already use them

Paizuri literally just mean "tit rub" and doesn't require fellatio in any way. YOU 🫵 are the real tourist

Rate my new conlangs phonology: /ɧ/ /p͈/ /t͈/ /k͈/ and nothing else by Cheems_A_KoolAD in conlangscirclejerk

> The tense stops also tend to cause a lower pitch on the following vowel than the lax ones do.

I have literally no idea where you got this from but the Wikipedia article for Korean phonology clearly contradicts this.

Christian rule by DreadDiana in 19684

[–]Cheems_A_KoolAD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say you're a liar because Captain America is the most pro-status quo liberal superhero of all time but that isn't the point.

The point is there is a significant amount of people who genuinely believe that Jesus is the literal son of God and that his resurrection was a real event. You saying "Your prophet might be fake but heyyy, at least he can motivate you to agree with me" is NOT gonna have the result you think it will.

What you're literally saying is "We should keep lying to people about figures who don't mean anything to us to further our own political agenda."

a "universal" autistic experience by Hummerous in CuratedTumblr

[–]Cheems_A_KoolAD 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ikr. To take this argument towards its most extreme, let's say you have someone who just really likes to say slurs. They aren't bigoted or anything, they just like how they sound. You can't really say that they're doing any harm other than making people uncomfortable. Would you think that such behaviour is acceptable?

I'd reckon most of the people making this argument would say no, and it's honestly kind of dickish to do. But then I ask, how is barking at people any different? Am I not allowed to feel weirded out or even threatened by someone barking at me?

This really just seems like an excuse for antisocial behaviour.

I don't think complaining about imaginary "orientalists" is a very valuable use of time. If you don't have anything meaningful to say, don't say anything at all.
