"Think about people you don't know or even know exist somewhere out in the world who have had an abortion or given birth to a stillborn baby. Think about how those people who don't know you or that you even exist feel about the party you throw for your unborn child. Again, they don't even know you exist or that you are even throwing a party but apparently your party will open old wounds."


REEE attempting to human is fascinating to witness. Holy hell.

your party helps normalize the existence of such parties and spreads them through society like some memetic disease until the ripple effect eventually leads to these parties being thrown in the presence of stillborn parents, who will gently weep

Yes, because oppression is when someone dresses up as a character in a movie.

Fucking idiots.

Pathetic, I can't imagine how miserable you have to be, to waste time hating on something innocuous.

The anger at a woman for invading nerd spaces and harassment for a woman marketing her sex appeal is all real.

The Bronx is a community of working nerd families just trying to get by.

Lonely and depressed lives with no healthy social networks and internet obsession.

My stance on this
Lebron shouldn’t have to care.
His priorities are his people
You and others can go on an get outraged but don’t try to drag him into this bs.
Black people are hunted and treated like shit in Amerikkka it’s sad but we can’t go and care for others when our people are hurting.
Blame White Supremacy for this malarkey not the individuals affected by it.

Honestly, in the running for worst post of 2019.

Naw, this place is already enough internet for me. I've never heard anyone in the real world be upset over gender reveals, at most, you'll hear the "well I don't see the point/it's dumb" but never "people should stop having them."

Is everyone you know in the real world a cis person

I still get chills thinking about the enormous backlash to Mad Max: Fury Road.

[HaughtyFrank]

It must really lessen the enjoyment of media when your first thought is only what incels will think about the movie.

[Tiops]

Think for a moment about all the people who terminate or give birth to babies they know will be stillborn in a society where people throw grand parties to explicitly celebrate that that won't be them and how that would reopen emotional wounds.

Think about this while thinking for a moment about all the people unable to think

This kinda explains Era mentality as a whole.

Think for a moment about all the people who are not able to have fun, laugh an be happy in a society where people throw parties, make jokes, and are socially capable.

that's a no

I think that says more about the modern Notes App "if I offended anyone " or "not in my heart" apology style

im sure it depends alot on the quality of the apology

are we talking about a genuine apology or a "im sorry you got offended" apology?

Thing is, most of the time apologies are shit. People don't know how to apologize, or they just don't mean it.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/tourists-flood-the-joker-stairs-frustrating-bronx-residents.148557/post-25848023

Right some people are fucking clueless. Hell how many times do we hear about the police being called on people of color that actually live in these affluent communities?


I'm pretty sure that if this type of thing happened in a wealthy white non-touristy neighborhood people would be arrested for loitering. But because its a poorer borough and mostly latin and blacks are affected, fuck those residents, or so it seems.

You never hear the type of rhetoric spewed in this thread when it comes to the communities complaining about say, airbnb tourism in popular areas.

Does it matter? Im not sure the oppressed people in real life give a damn that some people are giving them "thoughts and prayers" online when it comes to their equality. Maybe try explaining to them why this type of stuff should be allowed in their neighborhoods but not the rich areas.

Black people get arrested for being on their property in suburbs or walking around their own neighborhoods. Its weird that you would even suggest someone had to "pull this out their ass"

The suburbs often don't allow tourist spots to exist, though. Thats the whole point. A group of people of color would have the police called on them instantly if they showed up to a random suburb to take pictures at a movie location. These places often have loitering laws to specifically address this.

Maybe because your brain is made of bricks? Its only a separate issue for the privileged ones like yourself who only have to worry about if they are going to get a good picture for IG or not.

Turns out, people hate when their communities go criminally ignored for decades and then seeing these same areas be used as props for the bourgeoisie.

And the response of "why can't I just take my picture and not have to worry about their poverty" from some of you is exactly why these residents don't care to have to deal with your types.

Or, maybe the people in need of a re evaluation are the ones who are bitching about having even the tiniest bit of consideration for the residents you are bothering in the name of a goofy ass picture for Instagram.

Yes? How hard is it to not make a trip to a place that you would never go otherwise? Especially if you know it is bothering the people who live there? How much is that goofy ass pic worth, exactly?

And I rest mine.

Who the hell are you to determine if people are being harmed or bothered? This privilege shit is nuts.

Also, if people liked the Bronx, those steps have likely been there for years upon years. The reality is that people don't give a shit about the area. But again try this shit in the suburbs that these people are coming from and its a different story.

I mean I'm not really trying to persuade or convince you people of anything. I know you don't give a fuck about the Bronx or their residents.

That you all keep trying so hard to separate from the socioeconomic factors in play here are also telling. Im willing to bet its easy for you to not give a fuck about what is going on in this area that you are suddenly so interested in but for the residents, they don't get the luxury of separating themselves from their pligh

I mean you are the one who calls the mere fact that the residents living here are complaining "draining".

And I think the general aloofness and tone deafness displayed by people like you is weird and also draining.

No because you make light of the fact that these tourists are making life that much harder for Bronx residents who have already had a hard time. Also because you fail to acknowledge that these same residents couldn't go to hang around any upper class neighborhood without the police being called on them. But no its the Bronx residents who should just suck it up and realize that their peace is worth less than a photo for IG and certainly less than some upper class neighborhood where loitering is outlawed.

Im sure you would disagree and I'm sure this is "draining" you yet again but its people like you who are enablers of inequality.

Yeah I'm not looking forward to one of these idiot meme tourists getting victimized and people suddenly caring about what happens in the Bronx. Happens way too often.

You know what, I wasn't going to post here again, but before I leave (and yes, I will be requesting a permanent self-ban) people should know why I'm actually leaving.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have absolutely no problem with long, extended arguments, but I do not tolerate ad hominems, and I could already see that this thread was headed down that path again after comments like yours. I've been through that too many times with poli-era, and just in general, interactions here have just not been very pleasant. This is more like the straw that broke the camel's back.

As for your argument about Sanders. It's hogwash. He literally brought up exactly what you talked about, but you couldn't be arsed to look at the full exchange to see that, very much in the same way that I didn't realize how out of context Kamala's quote was, ironically.

Yes, Sanders is flaky on race issues sometimes, but there are other times where he has the best responses on race issues, but that never gets acknowledged here. In fact, I don't think I've seen anyone here acknowledge just how far he's leading the pack on his criminal justice platform compared to everyone else in the field, but that's not surprising.

Anyway, I wish you all well. I really mean that, but I hope that maybe one day this community can realize the kind of toxic, unwelcoming atmosphere it has fostered, because I am personally tired of it.

Cheers. It's been fun.

Last chance chow chow!

Even a milquetoast like that finds Era too toxic. It's basically a forum of unsatisfied, angry soccer moms who see them self as Woke, racialization, warriors.

Thanks for the warning folx, I might have downloaded, installed and considered playing the Enhanced Edition while preparing gender reveal parties for each party member but now I know how dangerous this could have been.
