ERA, the literary critic association:

JKR is horrible but playing with the idea that thinking Lolita is an incredible book, which it is, is remotely related to being or even possibly being a pedo is just a terrible and dangerous position, sorry.

Nothing to do with it being a well written book or not. It's that her interpretation of it is that it's a "great and tragic love story"

Motherfucker, that is how half of the literary critics described it for years.  

Not saying is good or right, but I bet most copies has a similar quote from some critic/writer in the cover or back of the book. (The other also often be: “the great American Novel”  ).

“Thinking that Hasan is a class traitor.”   

If anything, Hasan is playing the stereotypical Champagne Socialist to perfection.

do nazis also hate “manlets” or is that just a random insult thrown in the middle of the most ideologically consistent and morally faultless takedown ever shared via X, the everything platform?

That's it?

That was a harmless conversation with no vitriol. Why is this news?

Because some women see this as a microaggression, as it's something that they are regularly questioned on and having assumptions made about. That led to it being a topic on social media, which then led to articles being made about it.

It doesn't have to be vitriolic to create discussion or criticism.

So how does Charli feel?

Also, interesting you waited to reply to this and not my post asking for a clip or the post with the podcast itself?

lmao

Interesting.

Are you actually going to add to the conversation?

I already did that by starting the thread and giving my opinion.

I didn't see your post about asking for a clip until someone had already replied to you with the clip. I know this might be shocking, but I don't see every single reply in a thread the moment that they're posted.

Hilarious that you tried to turn that into some interesting gotcha moment.

Yeah ok lol

You're actually acting insane about this.

I did not see that post of yours. I do not read every single reply in every single thread that I make. No one does. And someone literally gave you the clip a couple posts later. It's crazy that you're trying to turn this into a thing.

Look at the thread you made and look at the overwhelming responses that are questioning why this is news in the first place.

wow this seems unnecessary

I think lil pop tart deletes the "least flattering" tweets the quickest.

Mentioning you're a man and proceeding to trash on a woman is blasphemy to the cult.

I'm not going to read the OP or listen to the audio, but I am going to reply to a thread in two years about Jason Bateman with "you mean the right-wing misogynist?" and then link this thread

 Also, a lot of dismissing concerns. But what do you expect from a MAN who posts on a NAZI WEBSITE every day.

[TylenolJones]

Please don’t write that Zeo is mad. 

The first page of "this is nothing" is infuriating as a woman who started getting pressure to have kids at sevenfuckingteen.

Its not just a foot in a mouth situation, its literally constant pressure women without kids deal with every single day.

This is the overall sentiment I've seen from women on social media and the reason I made a thread in the first place. I probably should have expected some of the dismissive responses from a forum with a majority community of men but I guess I expected better.

Thank you Zeo for being so brave for women everywhere

She burst into laughter at the joke. I'm sure more folks would gleam this if ZeoVGM included the actual audio embed/timestamp to the podcast in the OP. (But we know why he won't)

This is really embarrassing. Truly childish and embarrassing

…for asking to post the actual audio that the articles are based off of *in the OP of the thread* (and only after being called out) so people have full context after three pages and over a dozen posts mischaracterizing the exchange without it. Yeah sure, I should be the embarrassed one.

No, not for asking for that. For implying that there was a secret reason that I purposefully wasn't doing so. "We all know why he won't." (But you didn't say why, of course. Just vague implications.)

Some of you are weirdly defensive of this man and the criticism he's received for the comments, as if I called him a fascist in the OP or something.

[HaughtyFrank]

Bateman was perhaps a bit awkward in assuming that she wants children, but trying to frame this as something horrible to ask a 30+ year old woman who is married is absolutely making a mountain out of a molehill

https://www.resetera.com/threads/spain-announces-plans-to-ban-social-media-for-under-16s.1424653/

The more I think about it, the more I feel social media, smart phones, and short-form video content are our generation's cigarettes prior to their regulation.

Good. I hope more countries follow up on this.

Keep it coming

Im beginning to like this trend, especially if it make Fuckerberg squirm

Should have gone all the way and ban it for anyone under 18 tbh.

Good

Somewhere Taylor Lorenz is melting down about this

The more I think about it, the more I feel social media, smart phones, and short-form video content are our generation's cigarettes prior to their regulation.

Time will show this to be true.

This is the way 100%

apt but if cigarettes were about 1000X worse and more damaging to society.

I genuinely think social media platforms are the worst thing to happen to civilization since WW2. But also the genie's out of the lamp and im not sure how effective any kind of regulation can possibly be now.

Hope to see something similar adopted in my country, peg it at 18 years old though.

Agreed. Really not a fan of this "punish the individuals for corporations' failures" approach. Many child protection charities, such as the NSPCC in the UK, have voiced similar concerns/opinions. It's not like social media is suddenly going to be any less harmful for people when they're 16+.

It actually is. There is data about how much more damaging social media is to children and teenagers. In particular how for example it can make young girls more depressed and suicidal. This is all data that exists and that Meta has and does nothing about. They are ghouls.

Oh crap:

yeah, it's really fucking weird seeing people here applaud this when like. i was not able to make any meaningful connections in school and the only reason i stayed alive is because i had online friends. i realized i was trans at age 14 thanks to knowing trans people on the internet and having them teach me what these things meant; i don't really want to think about what my life would have been like if i remained oblivious to that! even if i had realized on my own, what resources would i have had when i lived in the southern us and school counselors and therapists wouldn't even take me seriously if i said i was suffering from abuse? these kinds of support networks are essential to keeping marginalized kids from killing themselves and it's foolish to go along with it just because it means sticking one to zuck

But cis don't care:

Good. Do it everywhere, and ban phones from classrooms while we're at it.

Staff don't care that people are posting chud sources:

This was known. Immigration is a good thing, you cannot seriously argue that it isn't a net good.

Gonna file this under "no shit"

[Lonewulfeus]

Of course cis white men are gonna agree with right wing propaganda, I always knew they were sus.  One of them even brutally sexually assaulted a non binary trans woman of color and nothing happened!  I bet you don’t have to dig very deep to find transistors skeletons either.  Sigh…

The USA being the top economy doesn't take away from the growth experienced by other countries. China is infinitely wealthier than it was in the 1980s yet is not in any way trending towards liberal democratic reforms. If the current Iranian regime had a good economy and normal relations then I doubt it would change its overarching goals.

This has nothing to do with sanctions and I have no idea why you think liberal democracy is the benchmark by which a society should be measured in terms of progress. The US and UK are both liberal democracies and infinitely more captive to corporate interests than China.

The Chinese state is completely captured by the corporation known as the CCP and literally no other interests are allowed?

also infinitely worse to the rest of the globe lmao. but again, hell might freeze over when people realize that the Global South despises Europe and the U.S, not China

So if we were to believe this, the president is just Israel's bitch? Lmfao. I know he is, but to be so blatant about it

Yes and this is Israel's last chance at being able to topple the Iranians because the demented orange pedo is entering lame duck territory.

The entire world hates Israel, which is why they're trying to speedrun everything now (regime change in Iran, new 20-year defense deal with the US) with an obsequious president and admin before a younger generation of politicians start entering office and cut them off.
