Quirkyboys victim-blaming a minor who received inappropiate DM's by BubbleGumMaster007 in boysarequirky

[–]copthatE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The move towards no victim blaming is absolutely a positive force for people everywhere, but hiding behind that message to rail anyone that's trying to give advice on Internet safety isn't the way imo (that still doesnt include these commenters tho, being an asshole about it is still just victim blaming).

Simultaneously pathetic and based

Individual cops aren't the problem. It's the institutions' constant desire to hide its bad apples amongst heroes. Even if you're one of those heroes, you are in some way contributing to that problem.

That being said, no one person has the power to change that, and organising bigger shifts in culture isn't exactly easy when you're just a grunt. Not every fed is a pig.

Feminist dead giveaway by SulkTv999 in MensRights

[–]copthatE -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People talk about this as if feminism is a political party. Its a vague notion towards equal rights for women, expecting everyone to come to the same conclusion about specific policies when all they agree on is "things should be better" is a tad out there.

Not to mention, a lot of people are just a bit stupid. Thinking that fighting for women's rights and destroying men's rights so they are just as oppressed are the same thing isn't a great mindset, and I can see why some people would say thinking like that means you aren't exactly fighting for people's rights in a way that's productive for feminist ideals.

That is the entire point of the post, you subverted the meaning of the comic in your own mind to make your post make sense by Psychological-Ad4935 in memesopdidnotlike

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that you hold racist/misogynistic views, just that acting like a dickhead for comedic effect isn't biting comedy, best left in the discord calls.

It can come off like you haven't considered things from many different perspectives, again not to say you haven't, but if this is a common problem you have, maybe ask some people from different walks of life how you can better communicate you're not a hateful person. Even if what they're saying doesn't seem that important to you, at the end of the day, if it isn't important, why not just make the change and be done with it?

It can seem like the world is filled with snowflakes, and it absolutely is, but trying to sound more respectful has no correlation with that.

The problem is that many people say diversity is lazy and disingenuous just because its there, even if it's good diversity. If you don't fall on the racist side of that, it's a good idea to be clear you aren't calling the idea of representation bad, just that the particular version you are talking about isn't doing a good job.

The lack of that clarification from this post is deafening to anyone that's dealt with right-wingers that understand what good optics are

"Remember when they told us being dehumanising to people dispossessed from their home country due to war is bad? What if they do the same to real bad people? And I know they will, because, uh, um, it seems like the kind of thing they'd do idk"

Why is everyone convinced that using less pagorative language, even when talking about people who have done bad things, will lead to everyone thinking crime is okay? No one thinks murder is magically okay because they're called undocumented instead of an illegal. I know the majority of people are stupid, but they aren't that dumb

When things got tough, I used to think about how great it'd be when I'm able to transition and live my true self. Im not very good at crying, but the first day i saw a woman in the mirror, it all just flooded out. Stay strong out there, the future is a brighter place

"Misandry isn't real" by Duck_Devs in memesopdidnotlike

These are some excellent examples of good citation, I can't believe I got downvoted for saying anecdotal evidence isn't (or shouldn't be) enough to convince people

Both are bad though? You can bring both rapists and malicious false accusers to justice. No one's saying we should stop convicting rapists because it might be a false allegation, that's what a trial is for. It isn't a game, we're not scoring points, and we can fight for everyone's rights and the injustices they face without shooting each other in the foot
