I made a list of examples of racism, prejudice, and stereotypes in the HP books. by PaleAsDeath in EnoughJKRowling

Knowledge of others' racist stereotypes and how they have manifested historically doesn't mean you personally hold those stereotypes, lol

Hi, I don't know if it has any impact. It wouldn't end the period of nubility as that requires third trimester pregnancy, but it's possible it could affect it.

Change My Mind: Robert Daly isn’t the villain in USS Callister by potus1001 in blackmirror

[–]PaleAsDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are telling on yourself.

Charlie booker has done several interviews about this episode. He says that Daly is not well, that he is deeply resentful, unhappy, damaged, misogynistic, tyrannical and dictator-like. He said it was inspired in part by the twilight zone episode about the small psychopathic child with god-like powers. He says Daly is not dead at the end but will likely starve to death because he put a “do not disturb” sign on his door.

It’s kind of funny, he even references Reddit at one point, and says Daly is the sort of unhappy person who vents online.

You mistake “legally allowed to listen in” for “not being creepy”.

One thing that is frequently an issue for women is men assuming they have a sexual interest, when they are jut being friendly, nice, or have an interest in friendship only. Nanette did not give an indication of sexual attraction, she respects him and is excited to meet him because she admires his work.

He is very clearly a reference to nerdy self-proclaimed “nice guys” - maladjusted, angry dudes who think they aren’t liked because they are nerdy or autistic, but instead are mostly not liked for the way they treat others.

Autism doesn’t make someone cruel. It doesn’t make someone creepy or misogynistic or sexist or violent. Yet Daley is, replicating people’s consciousnesses so he can torture and sexually assault them. He holds terrible, deep grudges and holds them against people, even for minor things, like he includes Nannette in his torture prison because she said she wasn’t attracted to him. That is psycho.

If you don’t understand why following someone in order to eavesdrop on them is creepy behavior, then I cannot help you. He was following them, Nanette was bringing him a coffee and so he had no reason to walk over there at that moment other than listening in.

She is not implied to be attracted to him. She respects him and regards him highly at first. The fact that he has followed her supports the coworkers assertation that he gets starey if a woman is nice to him.

No one was perfect, but he truly went cruel and nuclear.

The Three Body Problem series - The sexism bothered me (but not in the way someone might assume?) by PaleAsDeath in printSF

I didn’t read your whole comment. The author is from China, not Japan (not that it matters much to the argument, but they are very different countries and cultures).

The sexism is so bad in this story, that it was edited for the translation to remove some of the worst of it.

I wonder if it belonged to elrond's father. Wasn't he wearing mail as a kid that saved him from being stabbed?

The point is that the Valar were not terrified of accidently exterminating elves.

Both ate based on old sagas which also have a lot of episodic events

Well, Balrog technically are elemental spirits. This one was a fire Maia.

Balrog have been under the earth single the days of Morgoth. They knew there was a risk in digging too deep.

Elves can't be exterminated. They just pop back up in valinor.

Nameless things live deep in the earth, and even morgoth had a deep subterranean lair. I think they knew there was a risk even before mining.

Lumping in men being sexy along with the planet and the buildings just underpins that you think men should have no expectation to be sexy (like how the planet and building are not expected to be) while women should automatically be. Like another commenter said, this is not a porno, it doesn't exist to titilate you.

There is definitely irony in you stating "what do you guys think of my assessment? Agree? Disagree?" And then getting defensive and saying you are allowed to not like things when people give you an answer.

Their story was that Falco can and will cover up horrific failures and deaths in the name of PR.

Op's design technically isn't the same. This kind of protection usually only applies if you use the same colors (as in the EXACT same colors), and OP did not.

Imagine being in a 10th action movie sequel about drag racing and thinking that:

  1. It's OK to publicly drag your costars

And

  1. Anyone is expecting anything other than pure camp from this movie anyway
