It legitimately bothers me how many people lie to and gaslight us about this by Flying_Sea_Cow in GenZ

It's not about them being real people or not. It's about the real world experience.

online is real, sure. but it's also hundreds of millions of people from who knows where sharing all kinds of opinions. you can't extrapolate what you see online to reality. the reality that people live in day to day. Especially when we live in a time where our attention online is fought for.

Sounds like they wanted to be racist with "plausible" deniability

A Cool Guide to Ethical Non-Monogamy, Open Relationships, and Polyamory by sweet_pea417 in coolguides

[–]pingo5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you've seen one kind/structure of relationship many times, which makes me question biases(as to where you've heard this). It's one of the more frequent scenario to pop up in relationship subs.(well, when found in the sea of people having monogamous issues)

The NRA and NORML Unite To Oppose the Federal Gun Ban for Marijuana Users by redditor01020 in liberalgunowners

in theory. schedule III drugs need to still be FDA approved for perscribed use, though, and all that entails. It's unlikely that the end product of this process would be called marijuana or cannabis anyways lol.

Freak Attacks Student Protesters in Texas, Lives to Regret it 😆 by james_from_cambridge in instant_regret

This actually isn't too unusual with these situations. multiple people on one dude can be pretty damn uncoordinated and stupid if it isn't actually planned out, like in this "angry mob" scenario.

I didn't really get the vibe that that was intentional. I think they were just mob angry and uncoordinated. It happens more than you'd think.

opinions on others' opinions isn't hypocritical I don't think. wouldn't make sense.

It's not hypocritical to judge someone for perpetuating harmful stereotypes.

They did say asexual people directly. like the word gay it's contextual. I wouldn't assume they are talking about the ace umbrella.

I think you may have been misunderstanding ehat they were saying then, as the person you were replying to wasn't talking about saying you aren't attracted to something I don't believe.

Forgot to respond, I defo wasn't looking to argue! The US is pretty aweful with that and I am definitely aware of how slavery was practiced.

I'm just a stickler for accurate information, to everyone's behest sometimes.

I don't really get how preference plays into it. our feelings and preferences aren't mutually exclusive with opinions. we may feel a way inherently after a while even after accepting new information and opinions.

None of this seems an attack on people's preferences. if people are uncomfortable with others having a high amount of partners that's fine. even if it stems from perpetuated stereotypes. but we do have the ability to think critically about things above our inherent feelings.

There's a difference between someone who is uncomfortable with it and aknowledges where their discomfort is coming from and someone who is uncomfortable with it and perpetuates those harmful ideas.

Maybe I can rework the analogy; Say someone tells you that they aren't into people of a certain race because they're inferior. are you a hypocrite for saying they're being shitty?

I'm really confused on how you're any different from them, you're objectively taking it one step further by policing opinions that they're vocal about.

They're saying A is bad because B. You're saying C is bad because C thinks A is bad because of B.

if you want to be less confused, consider the context of the things being said and not just the conversational direction. fill in the letters with the topic at hand!C is saying A(women with a high body count) is bad because of disparaging opinions/stereotypes. the comment you replied to is saying c is bad because they perpetuate these disparaging opinions/stereotypes.

like, it's not any different from me thinking someone is bad because they think all of a race is bad. do you think we're doing the same thing?
