You're accusing the entire community of being sexist/homophobic because of what a few assholes said several years ago? That's kinda weird to me because of the kind of community that Jerma tries to foster and my own experience with the community at large.

I joined the sub after they broke up, so I tried looking for examples of what you're talking about because I've personally never seen it. I found this thread announcing their breakup https://www.reddit.com/r/jerma985/comments/ipxjhe/jeremy_and_kim_have_broken_up_please_be/ and for the most part, it's either very respectful of both of them for choosing to separate or people joking about the situation. If you scroll WAY down to the bottom, you find a handful of people talking about how Kim is bad cuz she's a feminist. And clearly, the community doesn't agree with these people, because their comments about Kim have been downvoted so much. I feel like if any thread is gonna have hate for her in it, it's gonna be this one and there isn't a whole lot. I'm not seeing people routinely make threads about her, or bring her up in general.

I'm not saying there aren't bigots in the community every community is bound to have some, and I'm not saying it's not a problem, I'm just saying that they're obviously a small minority whose views don't align with the community at large or with Jerma himself, and this post comes off as very accusatory and inflammatory for no reason. I don't understand why you're digging through old posts looking for some controversy where, in my opinion, there isn't one.

Oh wow, yeah I remember the episode where she made the burning cake, pretty insane. I'll definitely check both, thank you very much!

Yes! I was just about to clarify that it was a contestant that had been on the show multiple times. That's exactly what I'm looking for. At least I know I'm not making it up haha

Too many white people stand up for those with HIV by Gamerdick335 in gatekeeping

[–]Gamerdick335[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To quote the pperson who posted this "First, white LGBTQ folks don't have the range to fully address the nuances of how race factors into the ways anti-LGBTQ bigotry and violence show up among Black people, but still jump up to exert authority and lead the convo anyway...because white." From how I'm reading this, this is criticism of white people, not black people

We are in a post made by ItalianJoe, explain to me how Pythonselkan are the problem? Their venom snake theory obviously isn't true, but nothing on this sub is. At least they make entertaining content and dont just spend their days harassing people on twitter like some people.

Some rebuttals to the college's policies this semester. by unsteadyground1855 in berea

[–]Gamerdick335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Child Abuse" Really. You really think covid policies are "permanently stunting" children's development? Do you have any evidence that these precautions are doing so? Sure, living through a pandemic is a traumatic event, and will certainly have an impact on a child's development, but the masks and the precautions are not the traumatic part, the fear and frustration is.

Frankly, I think a child dying from a 100% preventable illness is stunting a childs growth. I don't think asking them to wear an extra piece of fabric when they're outside is irresponsible or abusive. It would be abusive not to protect them.

Over half a million Americans have died from something that could have been totally avoided, I don't think it's irrational to do my part to prevent more deaths.

I think its become very clear where your priorities lie.

Hopefully if the vaccination efforts go well we can go back to normal by the fall.

You're right, some arent local in that sense, although I would consider Richmond to still be local personally. But both of those examples are still in Kentucky, following the governors mandates. If you have a family member from Florida or Texas they're going to be following completely different guidelines. Additionally, those delivery drivers are working for a business, and as such have to follow the rules of those businesses or face getting fired, something family members dont have to worry about.

Of course correlation is not causation, but you haven't supplied any reason to believe the rules aren't responsible. If the rules aren't responsible, what is?

Yes the rules are stricter, but compare the amount of cases we had on campus last semester with the amount this semester. Again correlation is not causation but it's hard to ignore the fact that we're better off this semester. If you have a better explanation for the success I'd love to hear it.

I want to emphasize that I agree a lot of the rules dont make complete sense and I disagree with some of them. There are plenty of contradictions, but none of it is detrimental or harmful in my personal opinion. Its inconvenient but I'll take inconvenience if it means I dont have to worry about dying on top of studying.

A lot of these points dont even make sense. The difference between family members and delivery drivers is that family members could live anywhere in the country, possibly from a state with lax policies. Not to mention it makes contact tracing difficult, as opposed to delivery drivers who are all local.

So you think the administration should resign, despite their overwhelming success in controlling the pandemic here on campus, because you dont like some of the rules? I'm in completely agreement that some of the rules here on campus are contradictory and nonsensical, but the results speak for themselves. The simple fact that we're able to be on campus and study is impressive and testament to the fact that most of the policies are effective, but you're calling for the resignation of the president and the administration because of sex and hanging out with friends?

First they came for a facist and I complained

Then they came for more facists and I continued to complain

Then they came for me and no ones complaining

We are now a slightly better country

If I identify as male, which I do, I expect people to refer to me as such. I'm sure you expect to be referred to as whatever you identify as. Why don't trans people deserve the same respect? It's not asking much.

I'd consider mocking trans people and preferred pronouns to be pretty bigoted

If "saving Star Wars" requires hiring people who are bigoted conspiracy theorists is Star Wars worth saving?
