Chow Chow I think your avatar is kinda mean

Unless you’re actually brainchild. I don’t feel like looking through your posts to confirm

Didn’t I see you on Bourbon Street the other day?

You guys were bitching about Marvel shit that you didn’t read Kitsunelaine getting bitch slapped:

So we had like 3 to 4 pages of non-native Chinese speakers/non-sinologists insisting on misinterpreting a god damn idiom despite ethnic Chinese explaining the very meaning behind 粉身碎骨....wow

Let me at least ask this: do you speak any other languages relatively fluently? I think this is important to understanding how languages can work and how translations can often lose the nuance present in the original language. This should be an easily understood concept for anyone who is bilingual or multilingual.
I've already mentioned this in an earlier post in this thread, so this is partially me re-explaining something I've already laid out, so forgive me if I come across as annoyed for having to post about this again. Having the same conversation multiple times is a massive, massive pain in the butt, so I hope you understand. It's not personal.

I don't speak any other languages, no, but I have an incredibly passing understanding of Japanese more or less relegated to sentence structure and grammar particles right now. I also hang around translators, both professional ones and fan ones, and read a lot about what they talk about. On top of this, I'm a professional in the Anime industry who has proofed subtitles before and I can sniff out a lot of times where lines 'feel' translated because a lot of the time it's the result of idioms or sentence structure impacting the way a line becomes written. I fully appreciate the deep and vital importance of nuance when it comes to translation between languages.

In this case, I simply think a threat of violence is a threat of violence. Xi is a known entity. The subtext is no longer subtext. That's what I mean when I say this facade has shattered and I don't think anybody should spend time rebuilding it. The quiet part is loud. The footnotes no longer matter. It's like trying to put the genie back into the bottle.

Let's not just assume that kitsunelaine is a fucking moron based solely on their ignorance of how another language works.
Its entirely plausible that using an idiom that contains some sort of violent imagery is always with the intent of evoking actual violence.

After all, there's more than one way to skin a cat and you wouldn't want to cut off your nose to spite your own face. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

KetKat needs to take a ban. They're fucking awful.

KetKat and incelsiorlef have full immunity.  They're both heavily entrenched with the staff and their Discord, especially incel.

ketkat is actually fucking a staff member, which is uhhhhhhh all kindsa conflict of interesty.

Having said that, ketkat has also been much less of a cunty poster in general since - afaik - they hooked up, so, I dunno, swings and roundabouts?

[HaughtyFrank]

Telling people to "shut the fuck up" and calling them "assholes" violates forum rules no matter how you slice it. I thought the bans were fair.

And yes, Clinton is still shit.

When you challenge someone's entire existence in the first place you deserved to be called for it and we should probably do more to be understanding to those people than act like absolute decorum to the rules comes before the questioning of one's existence.

TLDR - but are they saying that there are 0 differences between cis and trans women?  I wouldn't talk about it unprompted or call someone a trans woman (that's like saying a couple is getting gay married, unnecessary detail), but to say there 0 differences and adamantly silence anyone that disagrees is classic era.  Trans women cannot get pregnant, and while that may be an unimportant detail to them in someone's life, it's incredibly important to others.

It's an overcompensation meant to correct historical injustices but all it ends up doing is alienating and confusing stupid people.

Trans people understand there is a difference, I mean, if there wasn't a difference they would not have dysphoria, but the extremists on ERA overcompensate.

Yet another thread of people going into a fit of rage because someone dare say that Rey is a Mary Sue. She is, what's so hard to accept about this? I still really like her character and think it's great that like younger boys did with Luke, young girls have a female character they can identify with up on the big screen kicking some ass. Luke was pretty much a Gary Stu but that didn't stop everyone worldwide from being fans of the character. Just accept Rey is a Mary Sue, still enjoy her kicking ass and move on.

In all fairness to Cuomo, 95% of the problems in this country come from the culture of organized crime that Italians brought to the new world.

Trump? A fucking mafioso from New York.
Giuliani? A fucking mafioso from New York.
Cuomo? A fucking mafioso from New York.
Hillary? A fucking mafioso from New York.

and the worst part is that Italian women generally are not attractive. I mean just watch Jersey Shore. Horrendous. Their entire culture is trash.

say what you will about incelsiorlef at least she spams up wrasslin topics or whatever else accounts for her post count; most of what Kitsunelaine, Nora and Ketkat seem to do is little else except hostile yet passive-aggressive bitching about other posters/the forum/staff/etc.

that makes them essential to the smooth running of the community, you losers who have never moderated an internet forum wouldn't understand
