And Japan has a negative birth rate, right? They’re shooting themselves in the foot.

You'd think with declining birth rates they'd want to avoid sterilization...

Ah yes, the nation with the declining birth rate decided to be even more transphobic and screw their population more.

Very bad month if you're an LGBTQ+ person desiring your rights

Like I said in the military ban thread, if you're an ally, we need you now. Not in a month, not in a year, now. Now more than ever. It's going to get a lot worse for us before it gets a little better, and we need help. However you can, even if it's just being there for us when we need emotional support to make it through a day, because a lot of us are struggling even through that right now

Half the states in the U.S have the same requirement if you want to change your birth certificate (which is oft required to update other important documents like drivers license and SSN), while also expecting Trans people to be able to come up with $40k of their own money to afford surgery.
where do some of them get this stuff? you can change your name beyond easy in every state, drivers licenses are generally easy to change too, it just has to be consistent (women who get married are doing this constantly for example)

of course changing your fucking social security number (a federal program, natch) and BIRTH CERTIFICATE isn't as easy as just saying you want to, but in no state is sterilization required, merely SRS, sterilization is just a side effect (it took me one New York Times article to find this out)

half the countries are from the former Yugoslavia and half have significant Muslim populations

I really don't get the birther takes

oppose it because it's fucked up not because trans will save Japan's birth rate with their well-known insatiable appetites for breeding

this is like saying how can anyone in the US oppose homosexuality, don't they know the fashion industry relies on them

For the posters who are engaged in it, it's because of their internalized ideology. They confuse form for function endlessly. Messenger and message. Objects and objectives. They're very quick to blame a tool found in a shower drain, rather than how the tool was used. The progressive stack comes out of this, in which visible identifying markers are believed to hold some kind of metaphysical weight greater than the idea.

You can see this in Bananas desperate attempts to shame The Bire by trying to connect it to Voat, Kiwifarms, NeoGAF.com or whatever. Even though all four things are different, and there's differences even within those things. Once a connection can be made between thing and "bad thing", you see two Nazi's.

From the very start their forum was predicated on a specific philosophy of denying access to certain outgroups. They didn't pop up a forum and say "have at it." Instead they sent out "community resettlers" to find people who would be granted access.

The endless desire to identify "bad faith" or count posts is just the most blatant examples of outgrouping behavior.

Integrating into a community salad isn't an interest. Instead drawing clear dividing lines and then establishing social rank based on calculating the identity variables is the first task.

And since revolutions are always under threat from counterrevolutionaries like marrec, eternal vigilance is necessary. Every thread is a life or death struggle for the health of the revolution.

But mostly it's because other people need to stop liking what they don't like. And everything is better when everyone is miserable for some reason.

Kirblah isn't conservative, from my interactions with him he's centre-left, either a liberal or centrist. Nor are you giving the briefest out of outlines why you think he's doing that instead I'm supposed to take it on faith that you're right with no evidence. Same with Stinkles. How is he fine with it?
For a "centre-left", he sure has a lot of conservative/Republican talking points. If it walks a duck, talks like a duck...and the search button above can just be used if you are so inclined to find Stinkles' approval of US (soft) imperialism. Otherwise, feel free to go through the thread or just notice all the hostility towards those of us who are critical about US imperialism (which somehow many people are not!)

Both CEOs have a significant number of employees that depend on them for income, and Brasil still has citizens stuck in the middle of shit. Sure at the end of the day both CEOs want to increase revenue for their companies, but completely ignoring Bolsonaro accomplishes nothing positive for these two, and their surely not making a political statement here of all places.

Ok, so I was willing to chalk Gina's mention of statistics up to a weird/awkward one-off, but after seeing this

I can say that the woman has an agenda, and that agenda is to actively ensure that black people don't get any more recognition than latinx people. I'm actually gonna put her into the 'anti-black' category until her actions prove otherwise. She might as well be holding a sign that says "all lives matter".

She been at this shit for 2 years fam. It's not like oh ok you don't get.

No you're too famous and visible you don't want to get it.

I honestly haven't followed her much, so I never knew about it. Somebody should make a thread on this if there hasn't been one already. It's not acceptable behavior.

Listen if you want to. Let us know. But remember a lot of people here don't give a shit about race/identity issues.

I have your posts in threads and I know you care.

If you decide to do so. I would suggest posting all her evidence and a good few quotes criticizing her.

Like the only Afro Latinx folks she mention are her dad and 1 actress

Yeah. I just feel like some things are best kept here. I don’t expect most of the people here to be open to this kind of talk. It’s been shown time and time again they aren’t.
See, what bothers me is that we even feel like that here; that should not be. My gut instinct is to challenge that resistance, despite the fragility on the issue. The issues we face as black people should not have to just be shoved over into a corner somewhere, and I feel that the more white people are exposed to these issues, the more we can combat racial bias.

Certainly, if the majority of you here feel like I shouldn't make the thread, I'll respect that sentiment, but I really do think there should be a thread on this issue.
In general, when making threads, particularly about Black issues, you should always anticipate the kinds of responses you're going to get aka know your audience.

1) Many posters are going to try to respond to your topic title and just that because they "can't be bothered" to read more than a sentence. This alone can give you a bunch of stupid responses. Ex:

Topic Title: "Gina Rodriguez says Latina Women make less money than Black Women, gets backlash"
Responses: "What's wrong with that?", "I don't see anything wrong here.", "More outrage culture", "People are too sensitive", "Insert Guardians of the Galaxy 'Whooooo????' image", etc....

If you don't want those kinds of responses or you want posters to read beyond the topic title, then craft the title accordingly.

2) Assume that most posters are either going to be on Gina Rodriguez side or the "Outrage culture is getting out of hand" side and not Black Twitter's side. They don't understand enough about Black issues in general beyond slavery and Martin Luther King's speech to legitimately participate in the discussion and will want to throw out hot takes that make them seem smart. So make your OP like you're talking to Gina Rodriguez and/or her defense force, not us in here who immediately "get" the issue.

3) Besides the topic title, when providing evidence/your argument in your OP understand that posters will be looking for short cuts so they don't have to invest time in participating in the discussion. That means Youtube videos will not be watched, and any bolded text will be the only text some posters will read. Prepare your arguments accordingly.

TLDR; Be prepared for buffoonery when making your topic and topic title and set trap cards.

Nintendo killing Metroid Prime 4's development is exactly what I'd expect from Japan where they kill trans people like Samus hourly.

Ok, so I was willing to chalk Gina's mention of statistics up to a weird/awkward one-off, but after seeing this

I can say that the woman has an agenda, and that agenda is to actively ensure that black people don't get any more recognition than latinx people. I'm actually gonna put her into the 'anti-black' category until her actions prove otherwise. She might as well be holding a sign that says "all lives matter".

She been at this shit for 2 years fam. It's not like oh ok you don't get.

No you're too famous and visible you don't want to get it.

I'm waiting for someone afro latina to tell her face to face and recorded why this is so problematic
I honestly haven't followed her much, so I never knew about it. Somebody should make a thread on this if there hasn't been one already. It's not acceptable behavior.

I would but you know how this place operates

It's like -100 in matters of melanin stats
Lol, well I totally feel you on that, but I think in this case people would appreciate knowing this about her. There are a lot of Gina Rodriguez fans on era.
