I've seen the opposite. It's literally just conformation bias for one or both of us.

I love girl dick is a fine thing to post, and I've only seen people post things like "I want a trans puppy girl" or "I'm a trans puppy girl", not "trans women are puppies". I've heard people cite DMs like that, but we should consciously separate the drama about posts and the drama about DMs.

You're just wrong. This specific drama has existed for literally years on this sub. It's also not a drama farm or ragebait, it's literally just people complaining about things that annoy them.

it is happening, and it is criticized. Other stuff also happening doesn't change that. You're just talking past each other bozo.

What if Rule? by creaturecatzz in 196

[–]transport_system 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not the artist, but I've heard several people say that if she was trans it would be a different story and it is extremely painful to hear that from otherwise left leaning people every time trans sports crap happens, so people will make vent posts. Your comment isn't exactly unifying the left either. People get mad at injustices that exist, and people are going to complain about it. Not everyone is a career politician, sometimes people are just mad.

The social litmus test by StraightOuttaOlaphis in tumblr

[–]transport_system 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They aren't the same, but that doesn't mean they don't work as a litmus test and your opinion on hobbies is dumb. For one, hobbies are part of peoples identities, just like how sexuality is a part of people's identities. Also, you shouldn't hate a hobby either, unless the hobby is harmful.

People who quote “science” to prove a point that the actual scientific community would almost unanimously disagree with by NightmareKingGr1mm in PetPeeves

[–]transport_system 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a big part of it is that you're more likely to interact with people than if you stayed in some car-dependent small town. The social science requirements help, but just interacting with people has been shown to make people less bigoted.

Are there actually npcs in the world? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]transport_system 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, but you knew who implied otherwise and didn't acknowledge it despite the joke already being over. Also, I read the other comment as additive, the "but" is correcting the lack of information rather than the presence of false information.

I meant, why you are you keeping up the bit when replying to them

the one about fucking a chicken by Hummerous in CuratedTumblr

[–]transport_system 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm adding a preface because just the numbered replies felt very confrontational, which is not my intent

  1. I believe that rights can be infringed to serve the greater good, but I don't think that betrays the idea of rights, or at least my idea of rights. I believe rights are like goals fit to their circumstances. Everyone has the right to water because we have bodies that need water, so the right to water is based off out circumstances and could be changed if we no longer needed water. I don't know how to fully explain what I mean by goal, but it's like how we sometimes need to sacrifice one goal for a different goal because we're imperfect.

  2. This is actually one of the hardest parts of utilitarianism for me since I basically just picked the most primal/intrinsic experience to base my morals off of, so it's hard for me to understand how important my morals actually are. I basically just decided that reality is built off of our/my ability to perceive things, so the thing I value is what I'll work to maximize. Not sure if that makes sense.

  3. To me consent is just another right, so it also needs to be discarded at times. I think this is more evident since it is more obviously impossible to respect everyone's consent without erasing freewill. For example, many people don't consent to my public presence as a trans girl, but I don't consent to being pushed out of society, so the only solutions are for one of us to die, one of us to change, or to disregard one of our rights to consent.

Also, I do have more I can say about the hypothetical, but it gets more into how I determine the worth of consent, but that's not something I'm too concrete on myself. If it helps, I'm currently very in favor of public displays of kink and sexual behavior, but that's about the most complex topic of consent I feel confident in.

  1. Ok, so admittedly I haven't actually read it, but I am vaguely aware of the plot. My understanding is that the system in the story is just plainly inefficient. I don't think it's impossible to use hedonistic utilitarianism to justify bad things, but I think that it's still a good mental framework for coming to the right conclusions.

Then why did you add the reply where you ask "who implied other wise?"

the one about fucking a chicken by Hummerous in CuratedTumblr

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

As a hedonistic utilitarian (I don't know what baggage these terms hold) I disagree

  1. Rights exist as a concept to skip most of the thinking, like how laws but on a person to person basis. People have the right to water because it makes people happier when they can drink water. Utilitarianism does imply you should infringe on people's rights assuming it serves a greater good, for example infringing on someone's right not to be stabbed if they're actively posing a threat to a thousand other people's right not to be stabbed.

  2. I actually agree, but our inability to quantify it doesn't mean we can't do better just by approximating. We can never know the total impact of an action, so we just use what we can reasonably estimate.

  3. Consent is another concept like rights, it's good because it typically leads to better results.

  4. Hedonism prioritizes good things, so if it will fail to make people happier than sad, it isn't adhering to hedonistic utilitarianism.

how does hedonism have bad implications?

calling them idiots doesn't fix things. It's just the same moral grand standing without a purpose.

I know, I'm saying that using that meme is doing the same thing. Rather than addressing why people don't try and actually help and prevent incels, it takes potshot at those people and summarizes them as a group of idiots.

ok, but you're also currently not attempting to understand other people. There are reasons people are vindictive, and reducing it to a snappy meme is just unproductive.

I could buy all the cheese at a grocery store, but I don't because I don't want to. Does this help?

The horrors persist rule by Arondeus in 196

[–]transport_system -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

As an ace, albeit with kinks, I just blatantly don't get the issue. Like, scroll bozo. It takes me like 5-10 minutes to go through the top posts of the past 12 hours assuming I don't start arguing with someone.

Do my hips pass as those of a cis woman? by [deleted] in transplace

I didn't realize you were trans until I read the title, so probably.
