I mean, I like Star Wars and shit and I grew up with the original trilogy, collecting the figures and just general Star Wars worship, but the prequel trilogy (and adulthood) cured me of trying to hand wave the bad stuff.

Everything outside Liam Neeson and Darth Maul has been pretty shit since the end of Return of the Jedi quite frankly.

The Last Jedi was super bad and The Force Awakens is some pretty poor film making, but what can you do when you have two fucking awful scripts and a studio trying to shovel in as much nostalgia as possible? I will see whatever this third one is called, just to see how bang on average the "twist" is going to be and for the inevitable meltdowns on REEEEEEE when it is confirmed that Disney are responsible for killing Star Wars. The bans are going to be glorious!!!

BCT are the worst “allies” for LGBT people. At least Trans RE pretends to care for minority groups outside their own. I suppose Royalan getting demoded didn’t help.

They really have gone crazy this time.

Surrfinn, Cheebo and Eden astro-turfing hard for the end of Star Wars trilogy is hilarious as fuck because literally no one else seems to give a shit about it cause of TLJ and that has them fuming.

Astro-turf a mass marketed disney product, brehs.

Astro-turf? Don't you get paid for that?

The single greatest irony of all this is that white men have appropriated oppression culture with all this trandoshan shit. We literally can't help ourselves but dominate every arena we enter. You want women's rights? Fuck you, we're women too now, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Persecution of gay people by law enforcement on many countries has totally being a thing. Hiding your sexuality also takes a toll on people. Saying that is “easy to hide” being gay sounds like a particularly shitty over simplification. Is probably a ‘better‘ than “get killed by random racist cop” but dunno why people need to compare two forms of oppression as some sort of contest.

Now it’s because he made a tinder profile.

I wish there was one closer, I've only eaten there a few times, but it's always been tasty. No crazy lines that I remember though.

In-N-Out around here always has crazy lines in the afternoon/evening, I don't even bother going there later in the day even with the people helping in line though.

If they aren't going to ban them outright, people who eat at chik fil a should get a tag so the actual good people here can just put the trash people on auto ignore.

And they say performative wokeness isn’t real.  But here’s the kicker...

I'm not suprised

I mean, I'm personally someone who will never go to CFA and side-eyes people who praise CFA (this thread being somewhat an exception, as the bigotry isn't the topic -but- what merits they in regards of service, even if I think the former is much more important)

That person was like the extreme strawman version of that and I suspected they were faking

They can’t even admit that most of the time it’s all bullshit to gain social credit amongst the rest of the crazies on reee.  As soon as they slip up once, the rest assume it was fake.  News flash, most of you reee fucks are faking it :trumps

Quote from: Depths, post: 26909276, member: 7673
Ordering from Amazon is defending their shitty labor practices.  Eating meat is defending the unethical treatment of animals.  You ain't slick.

You're playing with some moral score card that everyone will obviously not ascribe to.
Quote from: DeusOcha, post: 26909332, member: 2509
Sure? Whataboutism isn't going to get anyone far in the reality of our world. But relative to Amazon, eating meat, etc. sacrificing a chicken sandwich is an incredibly simple commitment.
Quote from: Hidden Lemon, post: 26912831, member: 17319
Amazon is super easy to avoid too. I don't know why people act like it isn't. It's been over a year since I ordered anything from Amazon, and not because I made a conscious choice not to, I just haven't needed to. Whatever you want to buy from Amazon, there will always be somewhere less shitty to purchase it from.

Same argument when it comes to supporting Apple, you always get people saying stuff like "Well you need a smartphone in 2019 just to get a job". Not only is that not true, there are other smartphone manufacturers out there. "Whataboutism" as people keep putting it is very valid here. We have posters calling people they know nothing about "pieces of trash" based on the fact they bought a chicken sandwich, it's only fair that people point out their hypocrisy because calling something a piece of trash based on one tiny tidbit of information like that is completely unreasonable. I can understand that people feel stronly about this issue, and LGBT rights in general, which is obviously a good thing, but it's also not the only issue that matters and to see people waving off their own hypocrisyy with theses lame excuses is tiresome. You're allowed to feel strongly about subjects that matter to  you without labelling everyone else who doesn't align with your strict moral code on one specific issue as a piece of shit.
Quote from: DeusOcha, post: 26914013, member: 2509
Except no, whataboutism doesnt apply here as that fallacy is used to detract from the topic at hand, specifically CfA and their anti-LGBTQ funding; the thread isnt talking about Amazon, Apple, etc., if you wanna talk about it then a new thread can be created tackling each issue or a general thread consolidating all those issues.

My point here is that relative to the whataboutism examples people like to throw here, sacrificing a chicken sandwich is still an incredibly simple thing to do to address one's hypocrisy relative to said examples.

My personal take on hypocrisy? I havent met any one person in my life who wasnt a hypocrite on some fashion. Still, that doesnt mean that one shouldn't strive not to be one, especially when confronted/knowledge on the issue hand, especially so.

A personal anecdote. I'm only part of the LGBTQ community as an ally and when the CfA drama was revealed they asked of me to not support explicit establishments/organizations harming their livelihood. I agreed and have kept that stance since and not only that it is incredibly simple to keep that stance.
Quote from: Hidden Lemon, post: 26914055, member: 17319
It's not used to detract from the topic at all. If someone says "this one decision makes you a piece of shit" then it's completely on topic to point out how that poster is likely being a hypocrite by making excuses to support other companies that are just as problematic in different areas.

Again, not using Amazon is easy. Not purchasing Apple products is easy. Anyone who argues otherwise is making excuses, and if those same people are calling people a piece of shit for eating a chicken sandwich, then they deserve to be called out for it.

My point is that everyone supports some business that's problematic in some way. Those people don't get to call other people a piece of shit for doing the same thing with a different business just because they support this specific issue more than they support other issues.

I mean, just look at the post above yours. 10 days ago a poster was all "I wish there was a Chik-Fil-A closer to me, it's tasty" and now they're actively calling for the banning of anyone who eats at Chik-Fil-A. Posters like that deserved to be called out for being hypocrite ass holes.
Quote from: DeusOcha, post: 26914109, member: 2509
Why not? Not all issues are created equal. I'm not of the mind to tell my gay friends about their concern about CfA is somehow less important than buying smartphones from Apple due to Chinese labor conditions. That's nonsensical.

What you insist leads people to be lethargic on addressing issues instead of calling out what can improved when it can be called out.
Quote from: Hidden Lemon, post: 26914148, member: 17319
I'm not telling you to do that, I'm saying other people have no right to call someone a piece of shit for supporting a business when they themselves likely support a different shitty business and make excuses for it. We have people in this thread, saying that LGBT people who go to Chik-Fil-A are "pieces of trash". Like come the fuck on, have some perspective and understand that not every single issue is all or nothing, and that buying a chicken sandwich does not make you a shitty person.

You can choose to support and not support whatever businesses you want. You don't have the right to reduce someone else entire character to them being a piece of trash because they don't adhere to your exact moral standing on a very specific topic.
Quote from: DeusOcha, post: 26914211, member: 2509
And again why not? And again, I'm not going to tell LGBTQ folk in policing their language against CfA becuase a number of them might happen to have IPhones.

I'm not going to tell black people to police their language because some number of them happens to shop from Amazon.

I'm not going to tell women to police language on addressing rape because some number of them go to Walmart.

Again, what you insist breeds lethargic inaction to address issues becuase, as we both agree, everyone is a hypocrite. It does literally nothing but muddy conversation and delay/halt potential action in pointing out that useless piece of trivia.
Quote from: Hidden Lemon, post: 26914266, member: 17319
Why do you keep saying the bolded as if I'm in any way saying that's something you should do? I'm not telling you to say or do anything to anyone. I'm saying that a person has no right to call someone else a piece of shit for eating a chicken sandwich.

Everyone is a hypocrite to certain degrees, yes. What's your point? Because mine is you don't have a right to reduce someones entire character to them being a piece of trash based on one very specific action regarding a very specific topic when you are likely engaging in similar behaviour with similar consequences. As I have said over and over.

The 3 examples you've quoted aren't relevant because that's not what's happening here. I'm not asking anyone to police their language against CFA, I'm saying they need to not reduce someones entire character to "a piece of trash" because they bought something from CFA. It would be like you calling your friends a piece of shit for buying an iPhone, regardless of their stance on any other number of political topics.
Quote from: DeusOcha, post: 26914315, member: 2509
And I'm saying that people can call people shit/"a piece of trash" if they feel invested enough on a particular issue, and they dont have to suffer some obtuse cognitive dissonance just because of some useless whataboutism fallacy.

It's why I keep bringing up the parts you bolded in my post. No one is perfect. Attempting to silence people in calling out injustices because they participate in some other unrelated injustice does literally nothing but hamper tackling injustice in general.

Again, if my gay friend wants to call people who purchase from CfA pieces of shit, I'm not going to play some hypocrisy checker and tell them to stop.
Quote from: Hidden Lemon, post: 26914365, member: 17319
I'm not silencing anyone at all, where am I doing that? Saying you can't reduce an entire persons character to "a piece of shit" because of one specific decision on a specific topic isn't trying to silence them from sharing their opinions and feelings on the topic as a whole.

How are you not getting what I'm saying. It's like calling someone a piece of shit for shopping at Amazon or buying an iPhone, regardless of their stance on all other political topics. You don't get to make assumptions on a persons entire character because of a decision like that. Call out injustice all you want, but that's not what's happening in this thread and it has never been what I was arguing about.

You just said it yourself, "no one is perfect", so you don't get the right to call someone a piece of shit for not being perfect. If someone can say "If you eat at Chik-Fil-A then you are a piece of trash, no exceptions", as has been done in this thread, then I can call them a piece of shit for shopping at Amazon. Do you think it's fair of me to call you a piece of shit for shopping at Amazon? Do you think I'm a piece of shit because I have an iPhone?

And again, why not? Do you honestly think we live in a world of civil discourse? Be it a chicken sandwich to presidential elections, the reality of this world isn't civil.

And also again, if the gay man owns an Apple IPhone and calls CfA customers pieces of shit for funding an organization that directly impact his life negatively in explicit fashion, I'm not going to be the one to point out he has an IPhone. Are you?

You're being purposefully dense here now. You're ignoring my actual argument and trying to twist it into something else entirely.
Quote from: DeusOcha, post: 26914465, member: 2509
Hardly, your form of argument is literally an analogue to "both sides" in nation politics. Being the "moderate", being the "civil", doesnt do anything but maintain the status quo. And do keep in mind the goal is to change the status quo.
Quote from: Hidden Lemon, post: 26914531, member: 17319
My argument is not both sides at all.

If I met one of your gay friends for the first time, saw they had an iPhone and, without knowing anything else about them, said "You're a piece of shit. Anyone who owns an iPhone is a piece of shit, no exceptions or excuses" would that be a fair or reasonable thing for me to say?

That's not a "both sides" argument, it's a comparison. I'm really not even sure you know what "both sides" means because it's not in any way relevant to anything I've said. I'm not saying "Chik-Fil-A are bad, sure, but Apple are just as bad". I'm saying you can't call someone else a piece of shit based on a very specific action like buying chicken sandwich. That one action does not define who they are as a person, just like buying an iPhone or shopping at Amazon does not define who they are as a person.

If you felt strongly about it sure. Then obviously the conversation will go into the 'why' of things and that's where we achieve the avenue/potential for change.

And if you dont want to make conversation then you'd still be entitled to free speech and whatnot.
Quote from: Hidden Lemon, post: 26914637, member: 17319
No, the answer is not "sure", the answer is no. No matter how strongly I feel about an issue, I don't get to make assumptions about a persons entire character based on one single purchasing decision. No one does. You can criticise the decision, but you absolutely do not get to say that on the whole they are a piece of shit or a terrible person. That has nothing to do with free speech, it's about understanding that a single purchasing decision does not define a person, and you are completely unreasonable if you think otherwise. It is absolutely absurd to try and claim that a persons entire character can be defined by the purchase of a chicken sandwich.

And I don’t know about you, but if someone jumped straight to calling me a piece of trash for owning an iPhone I wouldn’t be willing to have any sort of conversation with that person.
Quote from: DeusOcha, post: 26914741, member: 2509
Your idealism is pitiful. The world doesnt operate on "I dont get" or "you dont get", bad stuff happens and you deal with it.

If you get called a piece of shit you deal with it, you can either shrug it off, argue it, accept it, whatever. Fact of the matter is progress doesnt happen because you're polite, it's definitely a nice ideal, but that's not the reality of 2019.

I have absolutely no idea how you're not getting my point. I can't break it down any more than I have.

I love how the argument boils down to:

Hidden Lemon: buying a chicken sandwich does not make you a shitty person.

You'd think a trailer for a YouTube series about classic tech wouldn't be controversial, but by the end of page 1 someone's found a PewDiePie tweet and the host is an Uncle Tom.

Probably because it comes across like he’s afraid to act “too black,” and he basically took up for PewDiePie when he said the n-word. He puts me in the mind of someone who’s afraid to rock the boat, like he’d rather be viewed as the cool black guy to his white buddies instead of one who will call them out on their problematic behavior. Basically he seems like someone who pretends to be way above it all, but it’s not that, it’s just cowardice.

So yeah, he shouldn’t be an inspiration for young black kids. Because he never really acknowledges anything that could remotely make his predominately white base uncomfortable.

I feel like the entire marketing campaign for the new Star wars shit is "cute shit" for people to meme.

I think more accurately its "cute shit" to sell toy lines, because nobody was interested in buying finn / rey / poe shit the last 2 times, so double down on babyoda, bb8 and the pixar logo
