I Love My Mother But If She Was Not My Mother I Don’t Think I Would Hold Her In Particularly High Regard To Be Honest.
And Therefore Mothers Are Meaningless
I have it on good authority that not wanting me is an act of oppression.
If only Eliot Rodgers had waited a few years…
I’m sorry, but unlike me, he was a member of [OTHER GROUP] and I am a member of [CORRECT GROUP], therefore for him to want anyone is an act of oppression.
(Although more seriously that guy was fucked up. Don’t huff Incelthought, kids. You’ll go mad and blind.)
Didn’t the incels actually tell him off? At least some manosphere people did, asI recall.
Someone did. He was unsurprisingly accused of being an MRA or something along those lines, but of course all the MRAs thought he was nuts. There was some other group, but I don’t think it was incels.
We are still in the past right now, so our actions will still have more impact in the future.

It’s probably a ratio thing, where they’re smaller in scale but higher concentration of crazy, plus of course old cults are grandfathered in.
Other religions trying to undermine the sovereignty of the state have existed before the modern nation-state. Other religions doing so also use more politics and less attacks on state personnel, at least in the modern era.
Also being fooled by Scientology is more questionable than being fooled by some religion that’s a thousand years old, which entire societies have been based on.
And, based on Scientology’s record to date, it’d do worse than Christianity did if it had existed when Christianity did.
hey some advice for young girls is don’t trust men. they know. they know what they do.
Don’t trust whom? Stephen Hawking, Prince Harry, your younger brother? Your friend who knew you since childhood? Elton John? Your grandpa?
There is no such thing as men in general when it comes to social interaction.
lmao this is my favorite response
don’t trust prince harry
stephen hawking and prince harry teamed up to kill my grandpa so jot that down
guys op is a terf :/
(OK so @dubvictor let me know if you want me to delete this/are getting shit over the post and just want it gone. Also I’m sorry in advance, this turned into a bit of a novel.)
this. this is the reason that I say ‘casual man hate is bad, actually’; this is the reason I say “we really should not be making fun of people for things they can’t help, even if the things they can’t help are things that make them privileged”. it’s not because I’m a squishy moderate who thinks it would be nice if everyone was nice. it’s because this stuff directly hurts vulnerable people.
you ever notice how these ‘funny’, ‘relatable’ man-hate posts keep going around, right, and they get a thousand notes or so, and then someone notices, ‘hey, OP is a terf’. And everyone stops and goes oh because they realise, ‘hey, OP doesn’t actually mean men.’
…if you have a category of people that are Acceptable Targets- a group of people you can performatively hate, no matter what, to the point where you can advocate for their genocide and people will understand it’s ‘just’ a joke- asshats will go to whatever lengths they can to equate the people they hate with Acceptable Targets.
TERFs try to make trans women look like men, because for a lot of feminists, men are an Acceptable Target. ableist feminists try to write off their discomfort with ‘creepy’ autistic behaviour* by saying it’s ‘male-coded’ or ‘masculine’, because men are an Acceptable Target. racist feminists talk about thugs and racially-charged Stranger Danger stereotypes, and then they expect you not to call them on their shit because- you guessed it- men are an Acceptable Target.
and yes, trans women are women, trans women are not men, equating the two is wrong. but, like… just because they’re ‘not men’ in the abstract doesn’t mean they can’t get hurt by stuff that is directly aimed at them. on top of that, there are people who are men- who are also lgbt+, or disabled, or poc- who get hit with the splash damage. if you’re already told all day every day by the media and the people around you that you’re a terrible person who’s not to be trusted, how do you think it feels coming from a place that’s supposed to be ‘safe’?
when you say ‘it’s okay to make fun of this group of people for a thing they didn’t choose to be, because the thing they didn’t choose makes them privileged’, what you’re effectively saying is 'it’s okay if there’s Acceptable Targets, as long as they’re not people like me.’ whether or not you intend to, you’re giving carte blanche to the people who want an Acceptable Target so they can keep being bigoted in a socially acceptable fashion.
*I’m talking about, like, infodumping, not stalking. a lot of sexist creepy men will try to do the exact same thing in reverse and go “b-but i have a disability :( why are you being ableist :(”. and i’m not defending them, either.
wouldn’t the internet, a digital network designed with the sole purpose of sharing information more conveniently and accessibly, completely invalidate the basic premise of Fahrenheit 451??
the whole story is fucking pointless if it includes the ultimate plethora of knowledge and information, which’ll probably be government supplied
No, but it would necessitate a tonal shift.
Unusually for sci-fi, Ray Bradbury is a bit of a technophobe, and the real intended moral of the book is very, very close to boomer cartoons about youths on their cellumaphones, except about television.
The destruction of books was possible because people en masse did not even care any more.

Maybe I’m just old-fashioned, but images like this where a real event has been photoshopped make me uneasy. I don’t really want to be laughing at a sufficiently-harmful actual misfortune.
It’s callous, you know? Imagine being subject to a beat-down and it becomes a meme for others. Not like the “WAT” meme, or the rollsafe meme, or something else, but an actual harm.
I know the ‘chans would mock such sentiments in their pointless nihilism, but something tells me that it alienates us from each other, that it doesn’t create a healthier world.
Sometimes I wish there were a database of which of these source images had people that ended up fine, and which of them did not.
