The Taylor Lorenz article is so funny because she herself admitted right away that the part about being "paid to push the party line" isn't true
A lot of online commentary this summer has all been saying the same thing about Taylor Lorenz.
Someone should just do it.
The action is never spelled out, but it's a loaded call to action that somehow everyone understands.
There has to be somebody out there that is willing to do it.
Who's going to take the initiative to do it? We all know what needs to be done.

There shouldn't be a condition on refugees. Integration is not expected of privileged Westerners who migrate. Acceptance should be more important, not wildly varying integration policies which refugees have been required to adopt in the past.
1) If you migrate to another country as a "privileged westerner" and don't learn their language and ignore their customes, you are ABSOLUTELY going to be, and be treated as, an outsider, and if your personal customs clash with local customs you are also ABSOLUTELY going to get fucked up by the people whose culture you are gate crashing - prescient example, the streamer Johnny Somali facing down a 40 year stretch for cuntyness that would absolutely fly without jail time in the US
2) If you as a "privileged westerner" want to emigrate to another country, it is extremely likely you want to do so BECAUSE of what that specific culture offers that you don't have where you already were, and you are specifically choosing that culture as a replacement for your own, because migration is a pretty big deal.
3) If you are fleeing a country as a refugee it is likely because of where that culture has taken that country and you want out - it is absolutely fucking retarded to import all the shit you are actively trying to escape from with you

I'm assuming you're worried because of your fighting game thread. IMO you handled it well by saying you'd never want to harm anyone but they should ignore you if it bothers them. A totally fair response.
Well I was right apart from the thread

I agree 100%, but you shouldn’t feel like you’re being ogled since you’re likely a man, thus not an actual lesbian. after that post Echoes is absolutely going to go running to the "Why women criticise sexualised character designs" thread with their dick between their legs and post a hidden post asking if the circle jerkers in there think they posts about lesbians too much and if they should stop. Then the trans mafia will all say no and say how much they enjoy their quirky "just girly things" threads.

These nonsense rules are consistent in one way, in that it effectively (if successful in the actual mission of these rules) DOES ban those threads on the forum without the moderators actively banning things themselves.
It turns what should be a normal discussion thread into one full of traps that no one will dare to post in.
Lets them get away with agendas without getting their hands "dirty".

The day some super genius moderator decided "dismissing concerns" was a bannable offence was literally the day they made all of their rules entirely arbritary and nonsensical, because you can literally concern troll anything, and if your concern troll just happens to fall into the remit of a moderators pet cause, you not only have impunity to shit up any thread you feel like, you get the double whammy of getting anyone pushing back on your concern trolling banned

Favorite part is, if you want a quick out of jail free card, just claim you’re trans. They can’t prove you wrong. If you claim to be black and trans you get even more leeway. It’s an incredible system.
