The Other Forums Thread for 90's Kids ONLY

[samfish]

There is no trans thread. It’s in the one about that lady who showed a Jordan Peterson video to her class. Excelsiorlef is just yet again making it all about themself by being an aggressive, narcissistic lunatic douchebag.

Oh. Wanted a quick ki. NVM I guess.

Mod Edit: Please stop reporting this post. We have received multiple reports on it and have reviewed it. Thank you.

Sounds like the mods are a bit fed up with all this there moderating they have to do.

Also, Excel Saga, huh. Cat with newspaper moment. XBC2 has made me susceptible to nostalgic

Why would you report that? It's such a nothing post. How can you be so petty?

[Leadbelly]

I don't get why Excel is given a pass to derail a thread that isn't even about her womanhood. She keeps making it about her, when it's about a woman showing a video debate about being compelled by law to use gender neutral pronouns.

Exactly. Jordan Peterson's argument isn't even about whether a biological man should be considered a woman or vice versa, it is about being compelled to use whatever made up pronouns a person wants to be indentified by. Most people suffering with gender dysphoria (which I am guessing includes Excel) are quite happy to use him or her. It's more about people turning around and saying shit like, "I want to be referred to by bingo, bang and bong" and being compelled by law to respect that. And it is not even about whether or not you actually do respect that really, it is the compelled by law bit Peterson is objecting to.

https://www.resetera.com/posts/2324084/

No it isn't...

Calling for the media not not legitimize people like Peterson by giving them a platform and treating them as "experts" is not anti-free speech.

It is pretty clear that Excel considers Peterson's views tantamount to 'hate speech'.  Excel is a good argument for why 'hate speech' laws are a bad idea. lol

I have no issues with calling trans people by their preferred gender pronouns. You're MTF or FTM? Great! You're Transitioning or have transitioned *from one gender to the other*. Gender isn't a spectrum, and gender neutral pronouns like xir or they and them are fucking stupid. Being asexual or bi or questioning doesn't make your pronouns suddenly real. Sorry.

Excel is the kind of person that makes those that have never come in contact with a trans person hate trans people.

Life's gotta be pretty aggravating for the hypothetical people who are willing to write off an entire group of people over one individuals' actions or views or whatever.

True. At the same time it doesn't help when every trans person people meet is an always triggered S JW. When it comes to getting what you want, it doesn't help when your entire community is ran by extremist radicals.

[etiolate]

Excel literally can't comprehend that "up for debate" in an academic, class room setting is different than people on the street thinking trans people should die or some shit. Despite being given multiple, multiple examples of hot topic issues that get "debated" in classes, to explore all options and view points and learn how to express and logically follow an argument even if you don't agree with it is part of academia, not a personal attack on her or trans people.

Meanwhile, she goes out of her way to gimmick post as an overly verbose academic type who clearly has never been in anything close to an academic situation.

I don't think those people misunderstand what up for debate means. I think they see debate as a creation of colonial white supremacy and as long as you let "experts" speak then they'll drown out voices of people like themselves.

Which is a round-a-bout way of saying they know they'd lose the debate because their arguments are weak, so they try to stop the discussion from ever happening whenever they can.

Get the fuck out of here with this bullshit. He's a professor of psychology, not gender studies.

If you want to come into this thread and say he's an expert in gender-neutral pronouns, you'll need to explain to me how a professor of psychology is an expert rather than making vague misleading statements like this

Yeah because Gender Studies is like a serious scientific field, and not an ideologically driven madhouse.

[stufte]

So now you have to have a degree in the thing you're criticizing? Anita Sarkeesian and most Youtubers are now on suicide watch.

[etiolate]

The amazing thing is that the thread is about the independent investigation finding that there was no actual complaint and the Rainbow Diversity Center and the Communications department were to blame for everything that went wrong. They repeatedly lied in that interview, saying they couldn't state the complaint due to privacy issues when they couldn't state the complaint because there was none.

The university apologized to Lindsey and chewed out the professors involved.

But the thread is nothing but reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What a trainwreck of a thread.

And yeah shit like that does make me not give a flying fuck about the whole lot of the trans people's problems. It's just like shut the fuck up already. You do what you want, leave the rest of us in peace.

From the outside the whole movement seems radical.

Letting the most aggressive people in a political or social movement make you dispassionate is stupid. You should think about all the people in the movement who actually want to get shit done, not the minority who just want to stir shit up to feel good about themselves.

Yes, it's full of radicals. Imagine these people in real life.



Now every trans comes off as a nut job thanks to them. It's tiresome. Imagine if "send us back to Africa" black nationalists were the mainstream black opinion and you now understand where the modern trans movement is at.

I am acquainted with several trans folks IRL. None of them are like Excel and are mostly just normal people trying to get by. I feel bad for those folks when there are people out there with zero experience with the trans community and see shit like this online and assume the worst. Excel sucks.

[Himu]

Yeah a lot of us are just trying to get by and don't have time for the s jw spiel. At the same time it's almost impossible to not interact with that part of the community. Thankfully a lot of us are considered too "troublesome" for the s jws so we just keep to ourselves. It's really hard to judge though. Online, it's definitely represented by a certain kind of cheeseburger if you go to any facebook group for instance. IRL has its share of Social Studies Warriors as well. But there's plenty of us who don't wanna get involved, just keep it tight and live our lives. So I'd say it's certainly a mix.

I’m sorry benji, but I musta missed that. I rarely know what anyone here is talking about because there’s a lot of inside jokes and whatnot. I’m on the outside looking in. But I like this place better than reset or what’s left of Gaf. So I’ll continue to piss into the wind.

Just message an admin about your warnings and bans.  The guy I talked to apologized saying I got several (3) seven day bans for shit that should have been warnings and then he (I assume, they are a CS major, probably) removed two bans saying they were bullshit.  He also said he would have a chat with the mods.

Pretty much. If you’re vehemently arguing about social issues on the internet, you’re almost guaranteed to be a complete twat. People that function successfully and positively in the wider world just don’t need to bother with cesspools of that nature. You make real change around you every day.

[benjipwns]

Say what you will about him now that he's 64 going on what seems like 85, but Cornell West's degrees wouldn't be considered "paperweight" degrees under traditional or conservative education, especially as they came from the Ivy's in the 1970s during the Grade Inflation Pause. His PhD is in Philosophy.

He's always been employed by the Divinity College's because he considered himself a Christian first (why he rejected the Black Marxist movements and the Black Panthers in the 60s and 70s), and then academic inertia kicked in for the rest. His views may have shifted slightly since then. He was a relative nobody in comparison to what he has become after the early 2000s when he started saying controversial things in let's say...uncouth ways.

[Assimilate]

His particular expertise in the field of philosophy is focused on theology, and that's mainly where he's always been with sides of African-American studies. That doesn't take much raw intelligence.

i've never heard the guy say a single thing worth listening to. It's always about the same shit. The oppressed, the capitalist system, yada yada yada yada. And he brings no new perspectives to these things. It's the same points we've heard before a dozen times over.
