Article Titled "White People, Here are 10 Requests From a Black Lives Matter Leader"

GAF is completely and utterly lost on the sharp corners of words and semantics.

I haven't read that thread at all, but I imagine that the article cuts deeply for a lot of people since it exposes their hypocrisy of decrying systemic racism and bemoaning the plight of poor people [especially poor minorities] while not actually wanting to make any genuine personal sacrifices towards ending those problems.


It's a fun thread. An obviously horrific list of demands defended and deflected by Slayven and his ilk. It's always great to see hypocrisy. Some people

No, it's a FB post that got harvested by an online "news" agency as part of reactions to Charlottesville, hand-picked to generate outrage and clicks.

It's perfectly okay to tar and feather the bad guys when they spout stupid shit on Facebook, though.

More like it reads like the person who made the list is either talking only to the top 1% of white people, or thinks that all white people are wealthy and have things like generational estates and enough money month to month to be able to either rebudget or outright give their houses to black and brown people.

It almost reads like a parody intended to bait a certain type of white person into saying some squirrelly shit.
Of course they do. Its the line of thinking that gets snowballed until here we are. Every white person ever born is in debt even if their ancestors were starving farmers that never owned slaves. My lack of provocative clothing choices and simple American accent is considered white privilege.

It's not valuable to say it's a set of opinions or arguments (or to exaggerate those opinions into caricatures), as it really about the actions of a few. It mainly comes down to self-appointed gatekeepers who might feel like a thread's purpose is invalid and thus spend the rest of it thread-whining to the point of being its top posters and making statements like "hetero males should not be allowed to talk about this" or that sentiment simplified two word posts of "shut up". For years now, pretty much every thread even only somewhat related to female character designs has a chance of breaking down into a shared blog of the same five or so users, though "chance" might be underselling the frequency. Basically anyone who quotes a handful or more people just to tell them they are all wrong is a red-flag - turns the thread into the 502nd weekly/daily Crossing Eden and Morgan Stark r/AMA.

Don't know if adding a disclaimer to the beginning of threads, like "don't turn this thread into a soapbox and make it about you", would help or not, but it probably wouldn't hurt. In the end, people could just stop getting into derailing debates with gatekeepers and just focus on people who are not thread-whining or trying to dominate the thread.

Social media means you can't just appreciate something, you have to attempt to add value / humour to it so others feel like you contributing and you get some attention as well, thus increasing your social worth.

16 year old masturbation fantasies the thread. The fact these character designs are being drawn by actual adult males well past their teens is depressing.
Actually, you're the one who needs to grow up, my friend. In fact, I'd have hoped most of gaf would have grown out using this ad hominem attack whenever we discuss such topics. Being attracted to well endowed women is not something limited to teenagers, and it's insulting to real life women who have such an appearance by way of genetics and through no choice of their own. What's more, people like you only end up making such women feel much worse about themselves.

GET 'EM!  :punch :punch :punch :punch

You play games like Senran Kagura.

It's really hard to take you seriously on this topic not only given your avatar but also your predisposition to embrace cheesecake in games. It's fine liking cheesecake, but calling cheesecake juvenile isn't and shouldn't be controversial. Saying that this insults well endowed women is hilarious and reaching.

Enjoy your kleenex games all you want, but leave women with big boobs out of it.

Fuck this orange asshole. Those trans people served this country more than he ever did and the ones wanting in are far more willing to serve their country to defend everyone than this guy ever was. Remember him talking about how the Vietnamese were after him when he so "heroically" got deferred thus beating them and their plot to get him. Piece of shit war dodging bastard. All he's ran on is "im gonna just remove everything that the big bad black man did that made all us old white people feel small" and during that he made a cabinet entirely out of folks he wants as business partners with favors owed to him because lets face it he was blacklisted by all the fucking banks in this country for loans and was screwing up left and right. When he couldn't get paid for being Hollywood and it didn't drum up enough new friends he decided if he couldn't offer business gains from his own companies to prospective partners he'd just offer up seats in our government to people as a juicy business tactic to gain friends to shim up his ass. Education goin to someone whose tied to loan collection, Agencies crippled and headed up by folks who stand to gain by removing roadblocks in their respected seats areas of business, and numerous ties to Russian money laundered through friends, supporters and his hotels to shim him up and influence our country into being more amicable towards their interests.

Fuck him. Fuck the folks who worship him. And fuck typing this shit up and deleting it everytime I feel like popping off on this idiotic, self inflated, stares at the sun, sexual assaulting, bigot.

It's not reasonable in the ways she's saying to do it.
Your boundaries are up to you, but to act like her requests are somehow more absurd than capitalist white supremacy itself is insane. Her ideas shouldn't shock anyone who truly understands the gross and utterly privilege white people have over people of color and particularly black people. Her ideas are great ideas for meaningful material change. They aren't the be all end all, but they're sound in concept.

I can't help but want to file this thread under proof that the right wing controls the narrative.

In as much as this is one singular black woman but now because she thinks Black Lives Matter she must now be representing an entire movement who folks are now demanding come out to denounce her.

The literal fear of the right wing media just shows that basically they've won. I see this time and time again for BLM and other minority activist groups... the expectation that every individual must never speak out of turn or say something controversial because otherwise they are responsible for the right wing denigration of their movement.

It is unsustainable to put that level of pressure on activists especially in light of the fact that the right will just make shit up anyway.

I get the appeal but reading the GAF thread is weird and uneasy with the mixing of "don't die" and "his car maker / phone provider / company that build the shed he sheltered in is sure gonna make bank tomorrow !"

Also cheap thrills during a potentially catastrophic loss of life.

I got banned from the Reddit Twin Peaks discord for thinking it was super weird and abnormal adults in their mid 20s to 30s didn't know how to cook for themselves. And I'm talking literally meat and potatoes cooking of meat on the grill and potato in the oven type cooking. Literally being an adult and feeding yourself. They told me I was privileged to have learned to FEED MYSELF. Learning to cook for myself as a kid because my mom was busy with an infant means I'm privileged and I'm the weird one for knowing how to not buy fast food or make things out of a can at nearly 30.

Shit might be worse than GAF, tbh.

There's one rule in life I live by and demand others do by penalty of death, excepting video games (especially Bubsy 3D) if ulillillia can do it, you can do it.




He also could make frozen pizza by himself IN THE OVEN, which I admit I eat too often when I get in a funk where I'm being a lazy fuck, though not as much as ulillillia and I don't "de-grease" it like him either.

Right before he deleted himself off the internet and had gotten a job, was learning how to swim (he was deathly afraid of water when he first got internet famous), was in that documentary and stuff, I think he even participated in grilling on a trip. But it didn't score highly.

From Cutie Honey and Sailor Moon to Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the worlds of Japanese anime and manga teem with prepubescent girls toting deadly weapons. Sometimes overtly sexual, always intensely cute, the beautiful fighting girl has been both hailed as a feminist icon and condemned as a symptom of the objectification of young women in Japanese society.

In Beautiful Fighting Girl, Saito Tamaki offers a far more sophisticated and convincing interpretation of this alluring and capable figure. For Saito, the beautiful fighting girl is a complex sexual fantasy that paradoxically lends reality to the fictional spaces she inhabits. As an object of desire for male otaku (obsessive fans of anime and manga), she saturates these worlds with meaning even as her fictional status demands her ceaseless proliferation and reproduction. Rejecting simplistic moralizing, Saito understands the otaku’s ability to eroticize and even fall in love with the beautiful fighting girl not as a sign of immaturity or maladaptation but as a result of a heightened sensitivity to the multiple layers of mediation and fictional context that constitute life in our hypermediated world—a logical outcome of the media they consume.

Featuring extensive interviews with Japanese and American otaku, a comprehensive genealogy of the beautiful fighting girl, and an analysis of the American outsider artist Henry Darger, whose baroque imagination Saito sees as an important antecedent of otaku culture, Beautiful Fighting Girl was hugely influential when first published in Japan, and it remains a key text in the study of manga, anime, and otaku culture. Now available in English for the first time, this book will spark new debates about the role played by desire in the production and consumption of popular culture.
Quote
"A foundational book illuminating the phenomenon of cool Japan, Beautiful Fighting Girl explains the global desire for images of little girls that kick ass. Sait ’s uncomfortably deep understanding of the particulars of this Japanese phenomenon allows us to finally begin to answer questions about the far-reaching implications of the now nearly universal fetish, of our atomizing technologies of interactivity, and of our obsessions with new media. Its place in contemporary letters is nearly unparalleled and I wouldn’t be surprised if this book gives that once a decade jostle leading to the n-th wave of feminism or a complete reconfiguration of our understanding of male desire." —Jonathan E. Abel, Pennsylvania State University

These people told me they were never taught (neither was I) how to cook, and at least 2 told me it was AMERICAN CULTURE to not know how to cook for themselves. Not trolling, either. There are people in their mid to late 20s that think it's totes normal to have zero idea how to make any food for themselves. Even the absolute basics of boiling things and eating it.

Shout out to America in 2052.

Sadly, it's completely normal. I'm definitely in that boat. I took cooking classes, but generally when it comes to dinner someone else makes plans while I worry about other shit so I never really bothered to keep up with the "practice" of cooking.

Knowing how to post on the internet but not being able to follow simple instructions on feeding yourself.  ???

Im starting to understand the backlash against social welfare policies. One of those morons is too many, it's like being in school your whole life but not being able to learn how to read.

Now in case anyone gets triggered, im not talking about people who are simply too lazy and just have a lifestyle of take-out food.

I don't follow. Welfare doesn't cook or clean for you.

I signed up for HelloFresh (a Blue Apron knockoff) in February and I'm so glad I did. Didn't know how to cook beforehand and now I'm decent at it. I can tell when to adjust the times and ingredients to suit my tastes. Meals come out delicious and filling. :)

Though it usually takes me 15-20 mins longer than the "estimated" times... Getting better at that too.

It's a joke, mostly. Welfare opponents here usually say that such behavior, like inability to cook and preferring take-outs, to be a slippery slope since you can save money by cooking and that behavior is common among people(particularly students) wanting more welfare. I don't think it's too much of a problem and even if people really do that i think the benefit of this money flowing through local business is a type of benefit that fosters a healthy local economy anyway. But this whining about privilege of knowing how to cook is some bizarro-world shit and fuck anyone who thinks that.

How much is that compared to doing the shopping for food in Boston? I've been curious about that, as I feel those subscription plans are a bit of a ripoff.

In the age of YouTube, if you don't know how to cook, it's not an issue of privilege. It's an issue of being a lazy fuck living in a segment of modern society that allows you to be so. Or you're a dumbfuck that can't follow video instructions, in which case, just burn your shitty Tombstone pizza and shut the fuck up.

How much is that compared to doing the shopping for food in Boston? I've been curious about that, as I feel those subscription plans are a bit of a ripoff.

Small anecdote, but when it comes to grocery shopping in D.C., it's actually cheaper to use Amazon Fresh or Peapod and have the groceries delivered. At least for now when they're all still competing with each other for market share. We did price analysis and I didn't believe it, but it's actually on average about 30-40 bucks for the same shit at a Safeway.

It for sure is more expensive, by a fair amount. It operates in a weird middle ground where it's best for people who are too lazy to grocery shop, but not too lazy to spend an ~hour cooking.

That said, it's nice not to have to pre-plan meals and ingredients for the next week, on top of everything showing up at your door.

The way I've made it work is to skip every other week. I don't cook enough to justify 3 meals + leftovers every week (essentially six meals), but six spread out over two weeks is just about the perfect amount for me.

I love cooking. Something about the chopping and prep and such just relaxes me. I feel bad for those that don't cook, but anyone can learn if they put in a little effort. I'm just not a fan of washing dishes but my wife handles that so that's a win for me.

Steam rising in your face from the stove or a hot oven cooking in 90+ degree weather is the absolute worst.

Because its usually in a sentence where if you replace white with black it would sound racist.
