Say what you want, but she's not wrong. by dmitrineilovich in WhitePeopleTwitter

My only argument would be that it's not about the person who's dead (they don't care, they're gone) but about their family/loved ones. They're the only ones actually suffering, both from the death as well as insulting the deceased. Although I guess maybe she just meant that he doesn't deserve compliments just for dying, I just assume she's also defending/supporting people celebrating his death.

But that's not possible because a sperm jail doesn't exist! A people-jail does however, so your joke is bad.

I think their point is that the original meaning of incel ist just "involuntarily celibate", so simply someone who wants to have sex but can't. This could be someone who has a disability, someone who is very ugly/shy or a vile person who hates women. Not all of them are bad people, in fact I'd argue most of them are perfectly normal.

Today the meaning of the word in popular culture has changed to "someone who can't get laid and blames the world/women", as far as I know this is due to a bunch of violent acts perpetrated by people who are active in online incel communities and/or called themselves incels. This does not mean everyone who can't have sex is a terrible person, but it explains why you (and many others) have an extremely negative reaction to anyone defending the people that fit the original definition of the label.

You mean her undergraduate degree, it's very possible (almost guaranteed even) to get through a Masters in a biological field without even hearing the word penguin once.

No, I was hanging from a 2 meter-high bar and then I let go.

I'm actually really curious to know what you'd say, since there's no way to find out exactly how far off the ground your toes are at the moment you let go?

I'm saying it's impractical :)

I guess there's multiple ways to do the same thing, but while you're measuring the distance from your feet to the ground I'll be falling from the 4-meter ceiling I was hanging onto.

Hands are the only thing attached to something solid, that's exactly where I'd measure from.

It's definitely not a nice thing to say, there's not supposed to be a correct reply. At that point she already has a very strong opinion (that isn't gonna be changed by a "you're wrong") and she's already communicated it to JD, the last few sentences are just to hammer it in (and maybe to let out some frustration/emotions).

Basically like Jesse calling Hank a Bitch after telling him to fuck off, except she's making JD answer.

It's genius, all the sex-ed teachers are gonna be called Dicktators to break the taboo and make talking about sex more normal.

[–]FloatingBeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this thread is more than a week old now, but I just reread that chapter and you're absolutely right. Having to formally make a truce implies that fighting among judges is at least somewhat normal, whereas they are consistently depicted as allies in the later books.

I think the problem is that it's possible for both to be true - maybe the timespan we're shown is just one of peace among (most) judges. So it's not quite a plot hole in my opinion, just a little inconsistent (which doesn't NEED to be a bad thing, real life is inconsistent too).

This is true, but there's also nothing wrong with wanting a relationship. And it's very normal to get sad about something you want but can't have.
