Here's what fits under that umbrella.

"Transgender."

There you go, exhaustive list.

[TVC15]

Cindi, what are the transgender community’s feelings toward Neil Young’s 1982 album Trans, and how do they differ from your feelings (and those of other truscum)?

[EightBitNate]

You'd think the word trans would imply transition, but I guess that's not part of the umbrella anymore.

(Image removed from quote.)

Feminine women is above the umbrella. I'm a feminine woman.

Masculine women are considered trans unwillingly. Does this include even women who aren't even gay? What about butch/stud lesbians? They're trans now too?!

My favorite part of the umbrella is including cross dressers because as I said before, there's a certain kind of cross dresser who calls and identifies themselves as "traps". But the Social Studies Warriors who believe in the umbrella consider trap a slur. But they are forcing people who consider themselves traps unironically into their own circle. It writes itself.

Doesn’t “third gender” imply there are only 2 to begin with?

[HardcoreRetro]

What if the Transformers were genderfluid?

Is it a robot? Is it a car? Nooooo! It's uh... stuck somewhere in between... I guess?

Oh.  I thought I typed something else.  Brain fart. 

Well, not really.  That image is trying to draw some kind of weird distinction between "transgender" and "transsexual."  Like, the folks who don't like their genitalia and want something down about it are somehow just one big happy family with everything else on that picture, some of the items which are weird and nonsensical tumblr garbage.

I assume from everything you've said that you find that giant umbrella bothersome and I was agreeing with you.

I know. I was joking. I just can't even stand the word transgender anymore.

I rolled my eyes when I saw that thread. It's like asking if driving drunk is okay. Can't believe so many took the bait.

What a weird comparison.

Eh, similar to me if no testing with a monogamous partner is involved. "The chances that I'll get pulled over is so small"

I mean if you have to ask on RE is unprotected sex is an issue you probably didn't make your due diligence to make sure you could have unprotected sex as safely as possible.

Do you follow anyone else from here? When I replied to Messofanego replying to our hero on twitter (while specifically removing our hero from the reply chain), our hero blocked me like ten minutes later and then went through a bunch of Bore accounts of people in the thread about our hero blocking people. GR got blocked then for example.

Obviously was easier for him to block people using the same username like I do.

Now he's protected his tweets so everyone has been blocked. Do people in this thread understand the consequences of doxxing now?

[benjipwns]

Yeah, they should just tone down Soul Calibur 6 and go back to Soul Edge levels.  You know, the game with nudity in the intro that had to be censored for 'Murica, DOA1 style bouncing breasts,visible nipples, and panty color change codes. 

The simpler times.

Taki was my favorite character in Soul Edge/Blade, and her one win pose in Blade always made me uncomfortable due to the DOA bounce she had added.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Because with the PS1's whole texture warping thing it would sometimes freak the fuck out due to all the moving edge polys involved.

Also, I like how he compares her from behind to her from the front, like what. I think she has a low cut alternate already in Blade.

Why? They should have abstained from this vote.

Goddamnit Japan. You don't need to draw Trump's anger right now. Kind of worried about the potential fallout/ramifications of this.

Jokes are used to weaponize and normalize destructive mindsets. You’re not doing anything particularly helpful nor are you genuinely deconstructing any damaging notion by posting something like that.

God this person must be a real bundle of fun to be around.

The poster's follow up to this is something else. lol
https://www.resetera.com/posts/2172922/

I never asserted this claim that all jokes are used to weaponize destructive mindsets. The purpose of my response was to elucidate that the initial poster’s joke is used by alt-right spaces to weaponize destructive anti-academic mentalities. Brushing off science as a “nerd” space removes the seriousness of the research and care that studies intend to share with their findings. This is a commonly held belief in anti-academic areas in the United States. Anecdotally, academic spaces are typically derided as overtly verbose, pedantic, and inconsequential to everyday life.

Further, I find it doubly ironic how self-deprecating humor like that is used within this very forum, where gamers are often derided as sexless nerds. In addition to this, humor that does not intend to deconstruct and criticize actual destructive behavior is lacking, in my opinion. For me, the purpose of comedic expression is to do just that, and anything less that does not attempt to do this has the ability to be weaponized, misinterpeted, and then appropriated by spaces that are not particularly self-aware of their bigoted views. An example of this is South Park, where the jokes initially began as pointed criticisms to conservative spaces, but has since attracted a large alt-right, memetic following because of Cartman, who is a caricature of a vulgar, bigoted child.

Okay so 'incogneato' can go on my list of nutters.

Where do people get this idea about South Park? "Starvin Marvin" is in the first season and its fire directed at American consumerism hardly compares to their shots fired at at progressive do-gooderism that's primarily for show or as we now call it "virtue signaling", "Gnomes" is the most straightforward pro-capitalist (even defending major corporations versus their later more cynical libertarianism as seen in the Wal-Mart episode) episode they've ever done and it's in the second season. Social studies warriors have been South Park targets from the start, only it wasn't until PC Principal that the terminology was around to be used for what they were targeting. "The Death Camp of Tolerance" is in season six, "Butt Out" in season seven. "Sexual Harassment Panda" is from season three!

(Interestingly, Wikipedia lists both "Starvin Marvin" and "Gnomes" as the lone Pam Brady co-written ones, with her getting first credit on the latter...maybe I should watch Lady Dynamite. )

My question is why is the umbrella protecting a movie audience?

Though I guess I should be asking Josephine Tittsworth.

I think Trey and Matt even say on the one DVD back when they were doing the commentaries by watching the show in order, after a bunch of episodes in a row where the show does it, that early on it wasn't necessarily political in intention as much as they targeted people they saw as hypocrites. And that it's really annoying in retrospect to get lectured by multiple episodes in a row.

It's like the "I just bought my first vinyl!" thread.  There's no way on God's green earth it's not a troll.  Calls it a vinyl rather than a record. Check.  Calls the plural "vinyls".  Check.  Doesn't actually own a record player.  Check.  Opens up the whole audiophile debate.  Check.  That dude is fishing with some mighty strong bait.

  Also, please remember to act like Papa Johns pizza is the worst pizza chain in existence, bonus e-points for acting more disgusted than the person posting above you.

fascist pizza

How low is the fascism bar right now?

The founder has previously spoken out against Obamacare and donated $1,000 to Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

Ok confirmed for asshole, but many CEOs are also in the dislike Obamacare, donated a few shekels to Republican candidates boat.

In the other hand, if by "valid criticism" some here mean:

the story being thematically about failure and overcoming that;

Then those aren't really valid criticisms and the very things that these alt-right assholes preach about and no, people aren't on the right of saying that those are valid criticisms. Not a matter of opinion, by the way.
