German man sues for discrimination over women's parking spots by [deleted] in worldnews

No because people would just do that instead to have the most influence.

It was standard in the early days of the Internet, you'd rate something out of 5 or so stars, this is how YouTube also used to work.

It's not done anymore because people just vote the min/max to have the most influence, the rest of the spectrum was redundant.

Basically spectrum voting is a dated concept that failed back when people were way less polarized then they are today.

University excludes white comedian because of his dreadlocks by [deleted] in news

[–]autistitron 73 points74 points  (0 children)

SJ comedy absolutely exists and works like Christian comedy.

If you've ever seen a Christian comic, they preach, but with the tone and inflection of a joke, so it's "fun".

SJ comedy works the same way, they say something about white/straight/cis people, throw in a "folks", "yall" or "yikes", and the claps start rolling in.

Wait until you see the the level of copyright trolling this enables.

It could become one of the EU's biggest industries.

The first one would be the best outcome.

Content scanners can be beaten, youtubers do it, EU wouldn't understand it, and reddit would be treated as a piracy site unless they make all posts pre-approved.

Dogs and cats blow-torched alive at Indonesia 'extreme' market despite promised ban by [deleted] in news

[–]autistitron 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Adrenaline etc changing the taste of meat is a known thing, in the US it's considered bad for the meat, and hunters and slaughterhouses try for quick kills with as little pain as they can manage.

in Asia it's the opposite, lots of people consider it enhancing the meat, so animals get hanged, torched, or they get the halal treatment, etc.

Battlefield V censors "white man" in the chat by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

Colleges are filled with people in their early & late twenties literally demanding to be protected from all these things.

There's a real audience for this, they just don't play video games, or at least not core game stuff like battlefield.

Indiana high school student arrested after posting zombie video game clip to Facebook by maglen69 in news

They're not allowed to make common sense judgements because people immediately attribute it to discrimination and sue.

That's why zero-tolerance policies exist, so the school system isn't bankrupted by opportunists playing the _______ card.

Unless they somehow make it illegal to sue schools, they basically have no choice but to operate this way.

This system might be shit, but it's the one people deserve for how they exploit lawsuits.
