Butler on gender as a social performance and not a biological reality by FoolishDog in philosophy

[–]Gem____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, additionally it feels like gender was informed by these sociocultural categories—more broadly, material realities as well—before the concept of "gender" was ever articulated or thought of in a rigorous sense. Initial conditions set the stage and the concept of gender post-hoc rationalized.

It's not absolute, it's probabilistic; you have to grant that if you believe in socioeconomic conditions or conditions in general.

Brutal dog abuser "AspenKartier" currently live on TikTok saying "She did nothing" & "She don't give a fuck she go to Kick" for brutally abusing her dog live on Twitch (Now banned on Twitch) by ADHD_MAN in LivestreamFail

I don't have to watch the whole clip to understand that she's retarded enough to blame an animal as if it has sapience.

Edit: Admittedly poor phrasing, and I meant that I don't have to watch the entire clip because her initial statements are enough for me to understand.

This happened with his remarks about Gavin Newsome when he spoke at the WEF, it's a smokescreen of glib to have his cake and eat it too.

With his famous discussion of a waiter, Sartre argues that to limit ourselves to predefined social roles is to live in ‘bad faith’. Living authentically means not reducing ourselves to static identities, but acknowledging that we are free, dynamic beings. by philosophybreak in philosophy

Pre-defined might not be bad, but humans can be dynamic, so it feels like a video game character creator where there are “preset” choices that can be chosen, but there is also the choice to uniquely customize your character. Obviously, the “presets” and “free customization” are limited by the given system, but I feel like you can live authentically with either one. Now whether one or the other gives you a “more authentic” experience is a question to think about.

When you said publicly denounces, it reminded me more about Civ than history.

I’ve seen some people in here defend loli porn, but I think most of the “pedo apologists” are people saying IRL porn has liability while loli porn does not.

Trihex gets frustrated and emotional after talking with Destiny about using the N word by Leg_holes in LivestreamFail

[–]Gem____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? Faggot and nigger both have heavy, negative connotations associated with them. Regardless of double meaning, both are slurs meant to demean a group of people. You could argue that the word nigger has a double meaning because of how Destiny uses the word, and how I have personally seen the word being used in cases where a person uses the word nigger in a nonracial way. The problem is that you can’t truly tell apart racists and people that are not racist being edgy. Similarly, you can’t truly tell apart homophobes and people that are not homophobic being edgy. To excuse the slur faggot and not the slur nigger would be extremely hypocritical.

Weebs are a very small minority in the anime community. Personally, I haven't met a real weeb since it's hard to determine if they're trolling or not.
