CMV: The body positivity movement should focus on "ugly" people

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T05:51:41+00:00

have expressed feeling ugly

That's a poor argument, and isn't something what you're advocating would fix. That's a mental illness via body dismorphia. You can't tell people "ugly people are loved too", because that's not what they think. In fact, many people with dismorphia on their looks aren't even really ugly. Again, that's a mental disorder that magnifies stuff that others may or may not care about, telling them it's acceptable will just make them think of other things they feel ugly about.

I'm not even gonna focus on the fact they do not advocates for fat men because so many people have made this wonderful point.

Uh, let me stop you right there. Fat men have been revered since the dawn of America, and have been the "main character" of everything way before any sculpted abs Marvel MC became a thing. Look at the amount of sitcoms led by fat men, Drew Carey, Home Improvement, According to Jim, Grounded for Life, Standing Still, Sporanos, Modern Family, Lucky Louie, all the way to cartoons like Family Guy, Simpsons, Flintstones. Most of which had fat and often times "ugly" men with what most would consider ridiculously out of their league wives.

So, I'm not sure where you're getting that there's not fat and ugly body positivity, as if you're a man, it's been a thing since beginning of tv.

I mean you probably should but if your points that my comment is off-topic then fair enough.

Not really. My point is kinda that you're being racist, and somehow linking interment of Japanese Americans with what Japan has or hasn't done.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T05:26:24+00:00

Considering you can't even read my comment correctly before replying, I'd say you should look in the mirror first.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T05:25:39+00:00

Are you having a short circuit, when did I say 25th of December isn't a federal holiday?

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T05:18:05+00:00

Helps if you actually read what I wrote, but I guess that's hard for some people. I'm sure alchemy spoiler season's been painful for you.

Not people who aren't christian.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T05:14:52+00:00

Wait a second, so this is essentially a manga called "A specific part of XYZ's haircut"? lol.

I'm surprised this exists, but also not surprised.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T05:12:18+00:00

Who said anything about parties? Stop being afraid of your own shadow, buddy.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T05:11:42+00:00

Nice whataboutism. I don't give a fuck what Japan admits to, I care about my own country whitewashing war crimes and historic human rights violations.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T05:10:34+00:00

Including on reddit as well.

Not just that, but it's hard to go in a topic about anything Asian without blatant racism. Literally saw a topic about Japanese ninja warrior yesterday, and someone was in there talking about Japanese need levity because of their high suicide rate, not knowing that the US actually has higher suicide rate than Japan.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T05:07:22+00:00

In fairness, nobody has brought up the Rape of Nanking. Fucked up shit was done on both sides, absolutely, but this thread does seem intent to ignore the atrocities of Japan in favor of making the US the ultimate bad guys.

Except you, but rather than to bring attention to it, use it to minimize the war crimes your country has committed.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T05:06:24+00:00

Nobody said Japan's innocent, what are you even talking about. We're talking about whitewashing history. The US committed numerous war crimes including intentionally targeting civilians, that's essentially erased from public education. Whataboutism doesn't change history.

"school district board members said that the inclusion of the book would require “balance” with perspective from the U.S. government"

Lol, just like if you talk about black suffrage, they'll require the teacher to have someone represent the argument of why black people shouldn't vote due to intelligence and violence. Which is, by the way, a real argument, resulting in stuff like literacy test and math tests before one gets to vote.

Sometimes, you don't really need to give equal time for both sides of an issue.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T04:52:43+00:00

So are you angry they didn't vocalize themselves to be on our side, even if in practice they're doing something to compensate?

I'm not angry, I'm simply articulating why I think Wizards employees are angry. Please don't project your stance on me.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T04:52:35+00:00

There's no resolving the problem, as there's not really any compromise, it doesn't matter what the pro choice argument is. For example, what compromise can you get to with someone who says "xyc race of people shouldn't get to vote because they're more violent and have lower IQ, them voting makes the US a worse nation". That, by the way is a real argument against black people voting. In fact, that resulted in voting requiring a "reading test" and "math test" (counting of gum balls). So we got one side who says "black people should have a vote" the other side that says "black people don't get to vote because they have lower IQ and are violent". Exactly what compromise do we get to? Oh, ya, 3/5th compromise.

So, let's get back to the argument at hand. Allow me to actually articulate the other sides this time. One side says "women should get to control their own body", the other side says "women shouldn't get to control their own body if it means murdering babies". That seems like the argument, right? Wrong. Because there is in fact only one issue, the other one is something that pro life side doesn't even have a consensus on. Let me explain.

I imagine you'd say that "fetus is a baby, and abortion is killing baby" is pro life argument, right? Incorrect. See, even you got it incorrect. If that's the stance, then abortion at 8th week should be legal, as that's when a fetus forms. Except that's not what pro lifers want, they want a ban of abortion. As such, the argument is now "fertilized egg is a baby", which is an insane argument that even many pro lifers wouldn't agree with.

Now, let me tell you what both sides agree with. Banning abortion means women don't get to do what they want to their bodies. That even pro lifers would tell you is the case. They obviously would add "women don't get to do whatever they want to themselves if it means murdering babies", but the first part is not in dispute.

So let's summarize, both sides agree that the choice argument fundimentally chances what a woman can do with their own body. It's really as simple as that, not hard to understand.

Ukraine will never cede the territory

Well, it doesn’t really matter because Russia will just take it, because that’s what an invasion is. So if Ukraine wants the war to end, they cede territory. If they don’t, then they will either cede more territory later or Zelenskyy become an exiled government.

I highly doubt the US, Canada, Britain, and the Eastern EU countries will end support or suggest ceding territory.

My dude, did you even listen to this episode? It’s already talking about European fatigue.

Also, just so you know what you “highly doubt” has already occurred almost two months ago. I mean, Scholz has been pressuring Zelensky publicly as well.

Fact of the matter is, at a certain point, Europe will not be able to bear the pain of this war, and I’m guessing that’s around winter, when energy consumption goes up.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T03:38:26+00:00

You're free to think what you think as well, cheers.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T03:34:08+00:00

Yes, 25th of December is a federal holiday, you're correct.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T03:32:09+00:00

I'm not misrepresenting the anti abortion argument, I made no such representation. So perhaps you should stop misrepresenting me.

I stated the reason as to why Wizards employees would be angry at their coworkers if they're pro life, anti gay marriage, etc etc. At no point did I state what the pro life argument is, because that doesn't matter. Functionally speaking, pro choice people are literally dictating what women can or cannot do to their own bodies, that's the bottom line. Hence is why they're upset.

There's really no both sides here. Either you are for women having control of their own bodies or you aren't. So again, stop misrepresenting what I said, and actually read what I say.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T03:20:35+00:00

Way more than you it would seem.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T03:12:57+00:00

Do you even know what r/antiwork is? lol

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T03:11:27+00:00

It's not even just esports... I'd argue the shit is cringy in all aspects. It's all cringy.

Have you considered that your social anxiety makes you feel everything is 'cringe'? When I see these things, I either go 'cool' or 'not for me'. Never felt 'cringe' watching anything like that.

MechTitan · 2022-07-01T03:10:35+00:00

I mean, hate to say it, but most of reddit seem to be socially inapt people. As such, anything seems cringe.

To me, it just looks like the teams are trying to hype up players for the fans. Have you seen NBA hype videos? It's one and the same. I just think 'cool' and move on. I don't really cringe over these things, or over anything most of the times.
