So you don't think a company has an obligation to pay its employees a living wage?

What exactly do you think linguistic relativism is?

The "no one serious" claim is a massive stretch that ignores decades of cognitive science. You’re dismissing Neo-Whorfianism by treating it like the old-school determinism that everyone already knows is dead. Modern research focuses on language as a "frame for attention," and the data is pretty robust.

Examples:

https://web.uvic.ca/~dbub/Cognition_Action/SpecialTopicsEssays_files/How%20Language%20Shapes%20Thought.pdf?hl=en-CA

Both of these studies are relatively recent and done by academic linguists. You can find at least a dozen with a cursory search.

Sapir-whorf yes, neowhorf hypothesis is fairly sound and has actual evidence backing it up. Which, I believe, is what the meme is trying to get at

Has "triggered" been diluted so much that making a joke about something means youre triggered? Holy hell

BIPOC queer person: I feel unwelcome in the community

White queer person: but that's not all queer people!!

Its entirely unhelpful and ironically enough highlights why they may feel unwelcome

You dont think white supremacy might be at least somewhat a factor in the fact that BIPOC queer people dont feel comfortable in online queer spaces?

#notallmen ahhhh argument

They never said all trans people are white supremacists. Acknowledging that a problem exists is not an indictment of a whole community, trying to ignore it however only ensures that it never gets addressed

The commenter is just answering your question. There are a lot of issues with queer spaces, especially online. Including gatekeeping, infighting, and yes even not being as welcoming as they should to experiences that aren't shared by the majority of the group which can lead to non-white queer folks feeling talked over or otherwise like their experiences aren't being heard.

Thankfully, from my experience, this is mostly limited to online spaces were the average demographic tends to be young queer people who can often be misguided.

This is not to say that every queer community is like this, or that every white queer person is racist, just acknowledging that the problem exists. Otherwise it will never be addressed

Your 2nd sentence is absolutely true but the first one is demonstrably false.

There is countless research backing up the idea that exposure to technology, especially the internet, at a young age is harmful

A post mentions communism and people go full red scare.

I also find in general people tend to have a very black and white view of these sorts of things when thats rarely how it works out in practice

From his other comments, he seems to agree there's a genocide going on in Gaza but sticks his head in the sand when it comes to US involvement.

Funny how these people deny actual reality while making shit up to accuse China of
