missed one mods:

What I find frustrating is that there is definitely some bad faith arguing going on the other side here, including this study which we are told (I even just accepted upthread) as “settled science” then realised one of them studied less than ten people and the person conducting the study had a direct benefit in the results going the way they did.

I think blanket bans without backup are ridiculous like this case. But I do feel being cautious (and more importantly- fund wide studies into this!) is better and also perhaps having a wider social discussion on the matter. Perhaps cis women need to become more accepting of trans women? Perhaps trans women need to understand how it feels for cis women in this matter too? I’ve heard both claims be made quite a lot, and not just in sport.

plus beautiful Platy nonsense:

That is the whole point of that argument. Even on trans people, the studies focus on people who already went through puberty.
If someone went through the right puberty, there will be ZERO differences. Not taller, not wider, not anything.

Are you somehow suggesting that there aren't people trying to cross the border who should be in some way inspected and/or stopped? The GOP are certainly overblowing the issue, but that does not mean the issue is non-existent. Borders need to be secured and the process for incoming migrants needs to be robust and both of these things require funding.

Dating after 30 for dudes is easy mode as long as you take care of yourself and are a responsible adult.

Why do people always accuse me of not arguing in good faith?

There's definitely a discussion to be had about "but what if the Democrats are to blame [for the shutdown]" If we just ban people who have a dissenting opinion what's even the point?

I'm 100% for government regulation of social media to be honest. And just so we're not confused, I don't think we're at the point yet where a few oligarchical sites have the power to disenfranchise someone completely, but I could definitely see a route there from here.

A friendly reminder that many Native Americans are suffering right now with sky-high rates of sexual abuse, police brutality, incarcerations, unsustainable wages, and unemployment...

... Thank you for your time.

You hear this, Marrec?  They're already being raped.  Once is enough.

 

If someone said this just because the topic of native americans came up I would spread a rumor that they were bigoted against me because I'm native.



Oooh, someone quoted and added this

I can't believe that "Media can help normalize terrible people / things" is actually being questioned right now.

What I've learned over the last year or so is that people bring the energy of the world in to the forum with them. The last couple of years have been really, really difficult for most of our members. So much has happened and the landscape of the internet has changed so much.

For me, nothing encapsulates that change more than Twitter itself.

I remember how I used Twitter from 2012-2016. My feed was 100% jokes. I used Twitter to decompress and distract myself while I was in college because I knew if I went there I would have a lot to laugh at. It was cathartic, comedic, and comforting. But without changing who I followed at all my timeline changed dramatically by 2016. My Twitter became all politics all the time and nothing but bad news with the occasional defeatist retweet of a joke from years ago. Twitter is no longer a place I go to have fun. It's a news feed of angry, sad, and occasionally funny people. All the same faces, all the same accounts, but a lot has changed.

I think people also discount the fact a lot of us are simply getting older. It's easy to say things were more fun five or ten years ago. But we are five or ten years older too. We remember things better than they used to be and also tire more easily from how things actually are.

In 2019, we are in the midst of new civil rights movement. Nations are contending with fascist despots causing irreversible damage to their countries. Climate change is rapidly reducing longterm sustainability of the planet. People who didn't use to bother with politics now can't afford to turn their head away. But when I think of 2014, I didn't worry about any of this. I remember Flappy Bird and that Ellen DeGeneres selfie at the Oscars and Justin Bieber getting arrested. It's not like that for me now. Things are different.

The world has changed. I have changed. The internet has changed. We are just collectively madder, sadder, and less likely to be in a good mood when we log on to Twitter or Reddit or ResetEra or anywhere else online. People say it a lot, but the best you can do is be the change you wish to see in the community. Have more patience, react more calmly, and try to stay positive even though it's hard to. I think no matter what we have to still love each other. We are all we have.

This is beyond amazing.

It’s so odd to me that on as a progressive site as Resetera there are a good number people who are willing to defend shit like Goblin Slayer and Shield Hero. Why some people want to die on that hill is beyond me.

That New Knowledge experiment sounded risky and lucky not to face charges. It's cool that they pulled it off and got good data. If they are for keeping elections clean going forward that information would be helpful in recognizing and tracking interference. Something other nations might be able to learn and adapt to secure their own elections.

This Shield hero argument on here proves to me that trying to take back anime from the alt-right is a lost cause. When these types of shows are consistently popular and even on here elicit a "Well ACTUALLY" type of response it feels like this war was already lost before it even begun.

You don't even need to look as far as Twitter, the first couple of posts in this thread defending shield hero already fall into the pattern described above "well actually they LIKE being his slaves (so it's ok)" "well actually she's a bad person too (so she deserved it)"

 

I haven't followed a lot of more recent anime, what's the deal with Shield Hero and why is it sparking so much outrage?

We should've trolled them away and hacked their brands ages ago. Making the internet more profitable, inclusive and diverse has lead us down a path that cannot be undone.

You are magically attributing a pause between those 2 statements.. "And my reaction was..... I asked.. did she know who it was?".. as somehow Liam Neesan admitting to and apologizing for racism.

Amazing.

I mean, you're free to interpret what he said however you want, but to my eyes he was telling a personal anecdote - warts and all - to show how he can understand how other people can get caught up in a cycle of hatred - for example the religious intolerance that the Troubles consisted of, or contemporary hate crimes - and that he moved past it and is ashamed that he was ever in that position.

Just seems... weird to me to need footnotes in that anecdote to explain the racist part is racist, and a special condemnation specifically for the racist part to distance himself from it, when literally the entire anecdote is about the shame he feels for that period of his life.

Even if he explicitly said it, most of era would be like "yeah ok sure whatever buddy, don't things don't just go away".

Definitely.

And then they'd go on to forget why they were upset at Liam Neeson in about 3 weeks, until a few days after his death they're reminded by an errant tweet.

So they'd go into a thread on his obituary and smugly remind everyone that Liam Neeson was a violent racist

marrec you prescient slut

this exact scenario has already played itself out once before

almost exactly one year ago

Liam Neeson has described the wave of sexual misconduct allegations that have swept the entertainment industry as “a bit of a witch-hunt” and appeared to dismiss breast groping as “childhood stuff” in an interview on Irish television.

Speaking on The Late Late Show on RTE, the Hollywood A-lister said “there’s some people, famous people, being suddenly accused of touching some girl’s knee, or something, and suddenly they’re being dropped from their program, or something”.

 

HE WAS ALREADY UNPERSONED AT RESETERA ONE YEAR AGO

IS THERE ANYONE WE CAN COUNT ON TO HAVE RECALLED THIS TAKING PLACE

And fuck this growth shit. Black people aren't allowed to grow. We aren't even allowed the privilege of a situation assessment.
