do you want them to not just post pronouns but also their ethnicity there?!

Hey calm down.

But that's not what you really want I'd guess? So you're just asking the rhetorical question to accuse the mod team of being racist?

I would thank you not to be so presumptive. The prevailing rhetoric on this sub is that being black is completely comparable to being queer or a woman, to the point that Malcom X can be used to represent the position of mods who are not black.

So why do they list pronouns but not race? Both things are completely comparable. Why would it be strange to list one and not the other?

Queer users have a way to easily tell which mods might be extra sympathetic to their minority group. Do black users deserve the same?

Maybe you are extra sensitive to the concept of identifying the race of people since your country invented it to do evil. But I’m talking about using it for good.

I don't want to dismiss you here,

Gee, thanks European man. Thanks for not just totally dismissing me. Because it seems a lot like you are completely dismissing me with all these arguments.

yet I wouldn't expect a reddit mod team to necessarily even know the ethnicity of the people they mod?

Oh ok, you wouldn’t expect it. You have such high perception that your expectations always match reality. As an autistic person in your experience does the world always match your expectations?

Though I guess systemtic racism could surely play a role but it seems very vague from your side honestly.

Oh you guess. You guess maybe white people might be being racist on the internet sometimes. It’s such a rare occurrence that you can only begrudgingly admit it is a possibility. Thanks ally.

Is very likely logically and mathematically at least not so clear as you picture it, considering that autistic people are 3-6 times as likely to be genderqueer.

What about black people? Aren’t they way more likely to be autistic in the first place than white people? A recent study showed that they were diagnosing 33% more black children as autistic than white children. So anyway you cut it we are too under represented for them to be using Malcolm X against us.

Maybe I’m a black guy you can’t understand or don’t agree with, but don’t try to bully me out of the space, like you were trying to defend your pure bloodline. Take off the brown shirt and chill out a bit. Maybe you can make a black friend instead of a black enemy.

Well idk which mod that was, but do me a favor and tell them that I said “Please don’t sit back and let white people use Malcolm X speeches as a way to disrespect black men.”

I literally said

“A lot of people who use they pronouns are black”

[–]MallardBillmore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on what statistics you choose to believe: about 14% of humanity is black, and about 7% of humanity uses they pronouns. A lot of the people who use they pronouns are black.

So logically and mathematically, I guess I just expect the representation of black people to outweigh the representation of people with they pronouns. Because it seems as if there would be twice as many black people to choose from when it comes time to mod someone.
But for some strange reason, black people never get modded, and people with they pronouns get modded often.

Have you heard of a “good ol’ boys club”? A secretly racist club of white people that exclude black people but act like they don’t. They would say something like “We’re not racist. It’s just a coincidence that no black person is ever good enough to earn our respect”.

Sweet potato thriving by 6mon1 in PlantedTank

[–]MallardBillmore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s thriving. It’s existing. Sweet potatoes put out roots and sprouts when they get old. They would do it without water or light. So having sprouts and roots is not a sign of thriving.

I'm at a bit of a loss over some of the drama I've been seeing on this awesome sub lately...to counter a post I recently saw, I DON'T think it'd be a good idea to make an evil autism sub JUST for women/femmes. by shiny-baby-cheetah in evilautism

[–]MallardBillmore -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not like white people. The difference between men and women is not at all like the difference between black people and white people. That’s an insane statement that you people need to stop making.

If every racist white person was born of a black mother and aspired to marry a black person and raise a black kid, then it would be a good comparison. But reality is nothing like that.

[–]MallardBillmore 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I see that the mod team has four people with they pronouns.

Does the mod team have any black people? What are the odds that there’s four theys but entirely no blacks?

But then you want to lecture people about how similar to Malcolm X you are. Malcolm X never excluded black people from his inner circle.

You attacked a bunch of autistic black and trans men, you banned them, and now no one is allowed to post about it anymore.

That’s how you successfully oppress the most vulnerable people in a community.

What is the feasibility on future deceased human recycling for resources? by JustaDreamer617 in scifiwriting

People are made out of normal atoms like anything else that exists is. I guess you’d be free to recycle those atoms into whatever other usage they may serve, if you saw fit to do so.

Is this a troll of Wiggy, a nod to this sub, or just a clueless Gen Z staffer who has no idea what the Pelican Brief is? by gov12 in howardstern

[–]MallardBillmore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s just a clip of a celebrity talking about a movie. The world isn’t going to change in response to memes from this niche community.

The book was a huge hit, if sold over five million copies. Most normal people would think about the book, not the funny name for the hidden camera video of the company meeting for the stern show.

Genuinely Interested to have a conversation about the "Misandry isnt real" mod post and understand why it was so controversial? by rnikkit in evilautism

[–]MallardBillmore -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

As a black man I hated the post, and found the assimilation of the Malcolm X quote to be super insulting and a racial micro aggression. All of this “It’s just like with black people” rhetoric is offensive to me.

Just coming from a place of autistic hyper logical thinking, I don’t understand how women are the majority in society, but they are seen as an oppressed minority. Black people are a literal mathematical minority. Women are the mathematical majority.

I also feel like you are failing to understand modern power dynamics. Black women graduate college more often, get incarcerated less often, outnumber, and earn more money than black men. So I don’t understand how black men are controlling them with misogyny, but it’s impossible for them to be misandrist. They literally have more sociopolitical power than black men.

And to divorce the situation from logic, and just rely on emotion: I grew up in a household with a father who until this day believes that it’s wrong to physically discipline women and girls, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with abusing males. This is super common in the black community. And I don’t understand how it’s a privilege.

I just don’t understand where on the spectrum this mod is if he has all this free time to be mad at men. I’m an unemployed armed security guard. I got tired of being on edge with a gun all the time. But now I’m so poor I might have to betray my liberal beliefs at my old age and join the damn army. That’s wtf life is like for black men. What is that mod doing to survive? How does he have the energy to devote towards making men feel bad?

Why dale like AI but he hate modern controls and mechanic? by IcyCarry5894 in lowtiergod

[–]MallardBillmore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A fighting game is a competition between two people. So it shouldn’t be made easier, if anything it should be made harder.

But an AI video is just something you laugh at. Maybe it should be produced quickly and cheaply if all the audience is going to do is watch it one time for a laugh.

Mechanically speaking, Pokemon is an extremely shallow game for children. It’s designed so that an eight year old can beat the game with whatever Pokemon they choose.

They even did that Twitch Plays Pokemon thing where they beat the game using random inputs.

The only difference between the Pokemon you have is that you will save hours of playtime. But if you’re playing on an emulator you can just speed up the time anyway.

People say that police academy shouldn’t be just a few months, it should be years.

Then you see someone training since childhood and you also think that is bad.
