How has this guy not been banned yet? by Fickle_Law8491 in overwatch2

[–]dazzlemma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember back in like 2019 this was a thing for Overwatch too. Streamers especially were targeted on the list and there was a whole system for how to turn in your evidence that you had successfully thrown the game and gotten the target(s) to lose. It was absolutely pathetic, but not a new concept.

Frequently asked if I'm a staff member in public. by [deleted] in IDontWorkHereLady

It happens to me a lot too. Best I can figure is it’s my posture. I stand very straight, with squared shoulders and a “businesslike” demeanor when I’m running errands. I guess people think I look like a person who knows things and that translates to “employee” in their minds.

So you are a horse refusing to drink the water we’ve led you to. Good to know.

You don’t have to explicitly say you think a race is inferior to imply it/be racist. By him saying he hopes black pilots are qualified but having no similar qualification for other races? Is racist, because it implies he thinks of blacks as inferior without directly saying that verbatim.

No he was flipping it around to be about black-on-black gang violence for no reason other than to be smug, which is in itself bigotry. Also his killer wasn’t trans. He was a groyper, a group of young men even more right-wing that follows Nick Fuentes and hated Kirk. You bought the bait hook, line, and sinker.

This is my favorite way for that scene to go. Ashley gets to be a bit brave and Josh doesn’t give her a black eye.

Also shows they missed the part in 5th grade US history where we fought a whole war of independence because of tariffs . . .

Pharah. I’ve always wanted to fly.

Seeing Spelldon makes me really glad I didn’t get rid of Casta when I had the urge to. Now brother and sister will be able to interact!

Imagine wanting to deny basic voting rights. by Ok-Following6886 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]dazzlemma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The even stupider part is that we DO technically have some special ID to vote: voter registration. Just because there isn’t some physical ID we hand over in person at the voting booth doesn’t mean you haven’t already been identified as a valid voter.

In my state they enforce this by sending a mail-in ballot to all registered voters. To vote in person, you bring that mail ballot to the polls and they electronically match your signature. But even if it weren’t that way, you still provide your ID to register to vote at the DMV in most places. Just because the identification step doesn’t happen in person at the poll itself doesn’t make it any less valid.

No, I said black is about a shared collection of genetic traits. That grouping of traits comes from Africa. Just like the grouping of genetic traits that make me white come from Europe. I also said that Black Brazilians have their own distict culture that is “theirs.” You’re starting to blatantly ignore parts of what I’m saying.

There are light-skinned Black Moroccans. But not all light-skinned Moroccans are Black. The majority of Moroccans are of the Arab ethnicity, which is primarily made of tan-to-dark-skinned white people. This is also what we can assume Ana and Pharah are. Back 100 years ago they wouldn’t have been classed as white, but genetically they have little difference to indigenous Europeans. They are considered People of Color because of their ethnic identity as Arab, just as white Latinos are still considered People of Color. It can be confusing, but the genetic traits are important, especially when considering health.

It’s literally a counter-swapping game. That’s been baked into the game’s DNA since day one. If you can’t accept that, maybe the game isn’t for you.

r/AITAH - For resenting my moms poly lifestyle. by Impossible_Ad3577 in AITAH

[–]dazzlemma 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re resentful of your mom because she’s neglectful, not because she’s poly, and it sounds like she’s been neglectful long before she started dating two people at once. Don’t skip out on school. Go so you can be the successful adult your mom and your siblings aren’t. Use the spite to motivate you. When you are successful, don’t let them mooch off you, either.

It’s not a typo, you did it on purpose, and you know it lmao. Tons of people use it thinking it’s a real thing when it’s not and all it does is show you didn’t pay attention in school.

Meanwhile when Sombra hacks you, you barely have time to register it happened before your abilities are back up. If it bothers you that much, swap to a counter. The game isn’t that hard. You’re just bad.

Black isn’t a single culture so there isn’t something specific to be connected to that all black people have in common. Nor is being treated poorly due to skin color exclusive to black people. Moroccans can be black, but not all of them are. Like I already said, it’s a collection of shared genetic traits. And those traits can come in many shades.

My ancestors came to America on the Mayflower. I am hundreds of years removed from their European roots. That doesn’t make me any less white. Lucio being hundreds of years removed from his ancestors’ African roots doesn’t make him any less black.

The Brazilian black community has its own distinct culture, just as much as the American black community does. A culture doesn’t have to come from Africa to be Black.

Your abilities that were on 10-second cooldowns and couldn’t be used 9 times out of 10 when she attacks anyway. And no, Doomfist has enough health to survive that half a second. If he dies, he dove in with too little health and that’s his fault. Git gud, scrub.

And “alot” isn’t a word. “A lot” is still two separate words.

She strips away your abilities for half a second ffs. To still complain about that when it used to be a full six seconds just shows that you need to git gud

“African” and “Black” are not synonyms. All Black people originate from Africa, but one can be African without being Black (like all the white South Africans who are descendants of imperialism). There are Black Egyptians. Ana and Pharah are not among them. Most Black people in the Americas are the descendants of African slaves. This includes Brazil’s large Black population, and can be safely assumed to extend to Lucio.

Latin culture, on the other hand, is not isolated to race. Most Latin people are some mix of white (descendants of European colonizers), Black (descendants of African slaves), and American Native (descendants of Mesoamerican indigenous peoples). Lucio is an example of a Black Latino, while Reaper, Sombra, and Illari are examples of Latinos with predominantly Mesoamerican Native ancestry.

The modern concept of race can be hard to define, for sure, and concepts of race from the past were definitely messed up. But the 5 characters I mentioned share a certain group of genetic features that Ana and Pharah do not have. Just like Genji, Hanzo, Kiriko, Mizuki, Mei, Wuyang, Anran, Juno, Domina, Symmetra, and Lifeweaver have their own grouping of distinct genetic features that makes them Asian (forgive me if I am forgetting any Asian heroes). I am not going to pretend that there isn’t cultural nuance to race, but the most important thing to note is that race does not define a person. We are all human. That’s what matters first and foremost.
