Nepenthe is like the Bansi dude but about racial issues

Also, benji, you are going to hate this post:

Bansi wrote:I strongly believe what cis people need to do is to make any place we are in an unsafe space for the sharing of transphobic views and the participation of transphobes. Every time someone mentions Rowling I make it a point to say that she's a piece-of-shit TERF. Any conversation that happens about her or her work in my presence will only happen in that context.

Don't be quiet when someone cracks a transphobic joke or casually mentions a celebrity who's a known transphobe. Make your thoughts known and shut it down.

That is a kid throwing a tantrum while trying to pass it off like “fight the power”.

Who the fuck you think you are?

Is all about throwing tantrum without being called out.

The concerning stuff is that Nepenthe understands that she is a negative irrational and prejudiced stupid person, and she chooses to be this way.

Quote:I stumbled across Resetera while searching through the good ol 3rd+ page of Google.

I love forum sites and wish they were still as popular as short form real time chats are today. I read through an innocuous thread and noticed someone had a profile picture from a lesser known game that I really liked, and their rules, on paper, didn't seem egregious; so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Then I noticed their odd sign up requirement of not allowing free emails, who the fuck pays for email? If you're not in school or have a desk job that hands you a company email are you just SOL????

I actually googled around about the email thing and ended up in this subreddit, needless to say im not going to attempt a sign up anymore.

The main thing that floored me was that recent post about someone being banned for transphobia, and when they kindly explained their post and asked for clarification they received the wildest comment in response.

I'm not trying to start dissent here, but I am transgender and seeing people get banned for having a completely unrelated opinion under the excuse of "transphobia" infuriates me.

Like, no, fuck off, transphobia isn't a buzzword that you can just...use! It's the boy who cried wolf, eventually someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed because of genuine transphobia and nobody is going to give a shit because the phrase has been so watered down by dickheads using it as an outlet to power trip.

Like holy shit whatever quack is running the staff team of this "inclusive" site is doing more harm to the trans community than the people they're banning for transphobia.

Please god, does anyone know a normal forum where the mods aren't fucking insane but I'm also not at risk of reading every slur that hath ever been uttered every post?

It’s othering, it’s ridiculous, and it’s sexist. And it may be because of lived experience, sure, but I feel like it’s nowhere near as bad with transmen or male terminology.

Something I've always wondered if perhaps a lot of trans women keep the same behaviors they learned as men even after transitioning. Like we've just spend the last decade talking about how male privilege makes guys talk over women, be more aggressive, lean into toxic masculinity etc. and that a lot of that is learned behavior and not just biology. It would certainly explain why trans men are usually so quiet in these conversations while so many trans women you see online are downright aggressive.

Putting on a dress and declaring yourself female doesn't make you a woman, so why would it change your personality and learned  behaviours?

I honestly don't give a flying fuck about any, and I mean literally any, of the specious semantic arguments over what constitutes what. I can look away no matter how dumb or stupid it is. But please for the love of fuck do not try and force me to participate in woo woo. That's all I'm asking really. That and like, stop stopping people from doing and saying science because it doesn't fit your weird neo-internet ethics system that is really driven by algorithms on twitter and tiktok.

That school shooter thread is insane. They really believe that 1) no person of color has committed a shooting crime and not been killed by the police, 2) no person of color has ever served time and then uses their post-incarceration life to deliver a message to hopefully prevent others from doing the same thing, and 3) no person of color has access to social media and things like Patreon to monetize this so they can actually eat and live while helping others?

not watching that hellhole of a stream but I'm pretty sure I know of the statistics he's citing

they're a nationwide study showing that shoplifting is somewhat stagnant when the entire argument being made is that this is primarily a west coast problem

maybe shoplifting has gone down in kentucky and vermont and delaware and that's offsetting the massive fucking problem currently happening in california, which has literally been caught on video dozens of times, reported on by reputable sources dozens of times, even has lefties going "ok this is a bit of an issue"
That thread is just begging people to admit they’d rather be dead.
There's a reason Hasan won't debate anyone of substance, he is ironically very similar to Ben Shapiro on that one.
this is the only thing he has up on stream at least https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07418825.2023.2209145

Don't let them, just remind them more of how she benefits from their support and how she takes that as support of her transphobic views. Never let them feel comfortable about supporting Rowling whether through Potter or her other works; especially her other works because how can you even pretend she isn't being transphobic in her recent works?

Of course this is easier said than done, especially if you're naturally shy and an introvert offline.

Necromanti wrote:The only “bullying” happening is towards people who won’t get forced into the rigid, contradictory, and anti-scientific boxes of how “man” or “woman” is being defined for them. People can’t change their sex or gender any more than they change their sexual orientation. People can’t and don’t choose to be cis. (Ironically, changing the “sex” of a cell is at least more straightforward.) It’s more fluid for some than others, but that is not the same thing.
They really don't see how they've become the evangelicals who can talk about nothing but the need for everyone to be forcibly committed by awareness of their sins that they probably hated and railed against.

This strategy only works if you believe other people already believe your premises and you can lead them to your conclusions. It's really not going to help when you blindly declare things like how transgender people can't change their gender, something that much of the trans community obviously opposes since that's sort of the whole point. Until you get everybody to agree on what the premises even are, and you start finding some empirical proof of any of them, challenging people for not adhering to your religious beliefs will only antagonize them.

I notice he didn't mention what Hasan's response was to this obvious question. Not that Cenk is probably smart enough to push this point on him.

Now you're saying my dismissal of your hypothetical on these grounds is "absurd" because it's "unknowable." Exactly. We don't know shit about specifically what he's doing with the money he's earning. It's irrelevant to the issues people have with him.

She's an expert on campaign spending now obviously. (The "science" all says this up to $3300 would be completely irrelevant. And considering how the Trump campaigns operate would most likely be wasted on a connected vendor doing something even more irrelevant.)
