Antis, completely unironically: “I’ve read an entire disgusting fic that said this and this and that and that and fuck, that thing too! And than another story that was like this, and then another one that was like that, and this precise quote’s been imprinted on my mind for 7 years, it’s unacceptable!”
Me: “Yes, do keep on telling me all about how much you obsess over the things that upset you (way more than I do by liking them) instead of backing off when you find them. That sure will help me not think you are just throwing a tantrum over something that was entirely in your power to avoid and you decided not to.”
A show: How, this girl…is so tall. she’s a Giant. Enormous. We live in fear of her…..just towers over everyone…..how can she hope to attain ideal femininity and grace and beauty with such a height?????
Her height: 5′7.5′‘ and literally every male character over 11 years old towers over her.
no offense but I hope that white girls with brown eyes know that brown-eye positivity is not for them
me: white women shouldn’t hold an absolute monopoly on a conversation about the devaluation of a racialised feature since said devaluation is heavily reinforced by racism & thus necessarily impacts women of colour more than it impacts them
32456798290 white people, crawling out of my floorboards, already sobbing: so basically you want white genocide? you think that we should all just die? you think that we shouldn’t HAVE EYES at all???? what am I going to tell my daughter when she asks why she doesn’t have blonde hair & blue eyes like all of her classmates???? I’m Swedish and I THINK THAT
You: says horrible thing, receives backlash
You: rewrites entire experience to be the victim
op, brown eyes positivity should be for anyone with brown eyes. it shouldn’t matter what their race is. it shouldn’t matter what struggles they’ve been through. it’s not a god damn competition. the point is that brown eyes are beautiful, nothing more, nothing less.
you said something mean-spirited (and kinda racist), and you got backlash for it, which was obviously going to happen. please learn from your mistakes instead of getting all defensive.
General lack of decorum, no brain to mouth filter, acts like a boor, keeps extreme right people like Pence close to his side and then wonders why he has the reputation that he does.
But to be honest he’s not the worst president ever.
adult man to woman: “you should leave your boyfriend for me 🙂 I could treat you better. Please date me.”
14-year-old lesbian to straight girl peer: “omg honey you should date girls, boys are gross”
Lesbophobes: “Yes, This The Same Thing Actually. These Scenarios Are The Exact Same. Predatory Lesbos Will Get Me. Lesbians Are Like Straight Men.”
Yeah both of those sound fucking nasty to me. It’s gross and predatory to tell anyone they should be dating you/ANYONE when you know full damn well they are not attracted/interested
But also, funny how characterizing all straight men as the absolute devil just for being straight men makes people also jump to say lesbians are just as bad bc they have the same attraction…almost like it’s nonsensical and harmful to demonize people that way lmao
As a lesbian, both of those scenarios are digusting. Telling a straight girl that she should like girls because “it’s so disgusting to like boys” is not okay. Have you forgotten of the fact that people’s sexual orientations can’t be changed?
Also, to me, saying “you should like girls, liking boys is so disgusting” to a straight girl is not that far from saying “you should like boys, liking girls is so disgusting” to a lesbian
The only reason why the second one is slightly less disgusting is because it’s a kid doing it. Kids who behave like that are usually that way because of a lack of parenting or someone badly influencing them. But of course that doesn’t excuse their actions and adults have to immediately intervene.
The 14 year old who behaves like a nice guy/nice girl can be pulled aside and TAUGHT how to act like a decent human being. They can grow up and realise how cruel they were as kids.
The grown ass adult nice guy/nice girl however cannot.
2016 county by county election results. Anyone who says Donald Trump is illegitimate and not the will of the people, tell them to look at this map. This is why the electoral college exists. So west coast and northeast liberals don’t dominate our country.
Let’s make the whole country red in 2018 and 2020 and beyond. Democrats if they ever had usefulness, have certainly outlived theirs.
okay but like, President Trump still lost the popular vote by a significant amount of votes. he’s not what the people (commonly) wanted. and certainly not what they want now, as his approval ratings are lower than most past presidents. i’m not even a liberal or huge anti-Trump person, but i’d appreciate if you could stop spreading misinformation and trying to make Trump look like a well-liked, respected politician when his approval ratings aren’t even 50%.
Trump only lost the popular vote due to millions of illegal immigrants (and dead people, as fucked up as that sounds) who voted for Hillary.
If the people generally didn’t want him to be President, then he never would have set foot in the White House.
His ratings are low because so many people have been brainwashed by the Mainstream Media into thinking he’s racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic and Literally Hitler etc.
That doesn’t mean everyone who dislikes him is brainwashed, obviously. But from what I’ve seen, most of his haters and critics don’t seem to have a legitimate criticism of Trump at all. At best, they’re useful idiots who have been played by the anti-Trump establishment…and at worst, they are deliberately lying about him.
By the way, I’m not saying he’s perfect or that you have to like him, but a lot of people do and to say otherwise is just plain wrong.
I mean there are legit reasons to hate trump (and boy does he deserve it) but most people don’t hate him for valid reasons. They just hate him because it’s cool.
Also Hillary would have duped those illegal immigrants into thinking they were going to be taken care of but they weren’t. We only know about half the bad things happening in USA because trump is president. If Hillary was president we would be told everything is fine when it actually isn’t.
New research shows that PC Culture is pushed on America by a) the 8% of Americans who identify as progressive b) who are overwhelmingly rich college educated white people. Key points:
On social media, the country seems to divide into two neat camps: Call them the woke and the resentful.
Reality is nothing like this – most Americans don’t fit into either of these camps.
They also share more common ground than the daily fights on social media might suggest—including a general aversion to PC culture.
[A research study shows] seven distinct clusters emerge: progressive activists, traditional liberals, passive liberals, the politically disengaged, moderates, traditional conservatives, and devoted conservatives.
25 percent of Americans are traditional or devoted conservatives, and their views are far outside the American mainstream.
8 percent of Americans are progressive activists, and their views are even less typical.
66% of Americans who don’t belong to either extreme constitute an “exhausted majority.” Their members “share a sense of fatigue with our polarized national conversation, a willingness to be flexible in their political viewpoints, and a lack of voice in the national conversation.”
80 percent believe that “political correctness is a problem in our country.”
74 percent ages 24 to 29, and 79 percent under age 24 believe that “political correctness is a problem in our country.”
79% of whites are ever so slightly less likely than average to believe that political correctness is a problem in the country,
Asians (82 percent),
Hispanics (87percent), and
American Indians (88 percent) who are most likely to oppose political correctness.
74% of of African Americans oppose political correctness. This means that they are only four percentage points less likely than whites, and only five percentage points less likely than the average, to believe that political correctness is a problem.
If age and race do not predict support for political correctness, what does? Income and education.
83 percent of respondents who make less than $50,000 dislike political correctness
70 percent of those who make more than $100,000 are skeptical about it.
87 percent who have never attended college think that political correctness has grown to be a problem vs. 66 percent of those with a postgraduate degree share that sentiment.
Among devoted conservatives, 97 percent believe that political correctness is a problem.
Among traditional liberals, 61 percent do.
Progressive activists are the only group that strongly backs political correctness: Only 30 percent see it as a problem.
So what does this group look like? Compared with the rest of the (nationally representative) polling sample, progressive activists are much more likely to be rich, highly educated—and white.
They are nearly twice as likely as the average to make more than $100,000 a year.
They are nearly three times as likely to have a postgraduate degree.
And while 12 percent of the overall sample in the study is African American, only 3 percent of progressive activists are.
With the exception of the small tribe of devoted conservatives, progressive activists are the most racially homogeneous group in the country.
But what the vast majority of Americans seem to see—at least according to the research conducted for “Hidden Tribes”—is not so much genuine concern for social justice as the preening display of cultural superiority.
In a democracy, it is difficult to win fellow citizens over to your own side, or to build public support to remedy injustices that remain all too real, when you fundamentally misunderstand how they see the world.
