I've worked in a call center and I guarantee you that OP is sugar coating his side.  A CSR (even a manager) isn't just going to be able to delete an account, and it wouldn't be instant.  The guy was probably calling multiple times being an asshole and got marked as a problem customer.

For how many people on that site that work in call center/retail/IT jobs, they are the typical dare I say "Karens" when they don't get things their way.  If he would have just said in a nicer way that he didn't like the new deal and was thinking of going to a new provider, he would have gotten at least some sort of discount.

I've been in his place and heard all types of complaints about stuff that had nothing to do with me personally but that's how it is in CS sector. Management sucks, but the cs gets to hear what management should hear.

Bloodborne: I am a dumbass because I finished the game + Chalice Dungeons believing your character progress would be reset if you died, which meant that every time I died I closed down the game and downloaded my save file. I must've opened and closed the game hundreds of times, for this reason I uploaded my saves after every area and boss lol. I actually got the platinum and on my save file I technically died 0 times throughout the game + Chalice Dungeons.
For this reason the experience of Bloodborne got pretty ruined for me and that's why its never in my top PS4 games list, and also the reason I have never played another Souls game afterwards, its my biggest shame

if you’re not offended by this congrats?! But you sure as shit don’t get to speak for everyone first of all. Second, the response for the company here is pretty gross and to me that’s the real story. Last, no matter how you slice it this is a form of racism so to see people dismissing it as “cute” or “pseudo-intellectual liberal handwringing”.

This defense is always great as it only ever gets used when someone isn't offended. If they were more consistent this would also be considered as "dismissing minority voices"

I love seeing the white people here get upset about the most innocuous shit that minorities couldnt actually give less of a shit about. Theres fucking internet camps out there on the border with Mexico and you guys are fucking getting upset at this shit? If you posted in this thread to complain about how this is offensive then i would ask you to direct that energy towards something that is worth fighting for, not some brand that named some shit Trader Jose. As a Mexican, I think this is overreaction and hope you guys find it in yourselves to see how your being a bigger problem than Trader Joes in this, because i feel nothing but embarrassment for you folks.

People can hold two thoughts in their heads at the same time. Just because someone makes a posts on a fucking Internet forum about this shit doesn’t mean they don’t care about the brutality of the Trump admin with regards to immigration. Stop being so fucking dramatic.

I bet that first poster doesn't even call himself latix.

White person here

It’s not my place to pick and choose what offends non-white people, because removing that agency from others and proactively acting as a gatekeeper like that is just another form of racism. If people are finding this labeling hurtful then sure, I’m in support. For now, I’ll just continue to absorb the responses I see from people here.

(Image removed from quote.)

But isn't that the entire forum?

[HaughtyFrank]

I stated it clearly and explicitly, but I will write it out at greater length for you. You said that it's racist "any way you slice it." That claim implies that this branding (or, anything else) is objectively racist. It isn't objectively racist because nothing is objectively racist. Now, things can be subjectively racist, meaning, we can agree to label them racist depending on the context. To cite one example, I'd call the Aunt Jemima brand racist because that stereotype was used for many years to help justify segregation. But a picture of a Black woman isn't itself racist "any way you slice it." And the name Jose is just a name in Spanish-speaking countries/cultures. The name is not itself racist--again, because nothing can be racist inherently. (By the way, I'm just summarizing the basic tenets of deconstruction. There's nothing revolutionary or even up for debate about this; it's how all language works.)

So, it's up to you to explain how the specific situation here is something we should consider racist.

I’m not gonna engage with this condescending post. Peace

Before parents let their children start hormone therapies, they often want to know how likely their child is to later change their mind about transitioning. The answer depends on if their child has hit puberty.

For adolescents who have reached the earliest stages of puberty, the odds are very low. A large study of transgender adolescents from the Netherlands found that only 1.9 percent of those who hit puberty and start puberty blockers decide to stop treatment like Alex did.

There is more debate around how likely prepubescent children are to later not identify as transgender. For this reason, they are not offered hormone therapies. They also, by definition, have not yet started puberty, and thus there is no puberty to block and no need for hormone therapy.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Puberty blockers like Lupron are approved by the Food and Drug Administration and have been used for decades for precocious puberty, a condition in which very young children go through puberty too early. The only significant side effect is that the adolescent may fall behind on bone density. For this reason, doctors will regularly check bone density while the patient is on the medication. If the medication is stopped, bone density catches up to normal after a few years as the child goes through the puberty of their gender assigned at birth.

Alternatively, if an adolescent continues to identify as transgender and starts on gender-affirming hormones like estrogen or testosterone down the line, this will also catch them up on bone density. The great thing about puberty blockers is that if you stop them, puberty will progress as if the medication were never started. Parents can think of a puberty blocker as buying their children more time to figure out their gender identity without going through puberty.

She was referred to the Tavistock GIDS clinic at the age of 16. She said after three one-hour-long appointments she was prescribed puberty blockers, which delay the development of signs of puberty, like periods or facial hair.

She felt there wasn't enough investigation or therapy before she reached that stage.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-50046579

The BBC has found the scientific debate around blockers increasingly fractious, with experts only prepared to comment off the record for fear of reprisal.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51806962

The review acknowledges staff had raised concerns over a period of years. But staff claim in the transcripts that when they did so, they were seen as the problem.

"People who raise concerns are seen as trouble making and difficult," one staff member argued.

"When I raised concerns I was told that I had to toe the line or I would never progress in my career," another said.

Using "transphobia" as a cudgel to silence legitimate criticism is in nobodys best interest.

I didn't have anything I could give out (I worked in a call center for a brokerage firm) but if someone was nice (or hell, didn't yell at me) I would do everything I could to resolve the issue on the call.  But the assholes like the OP in that thread?  They got the "ok, let me talk to my supervisor about that" while I went to the bathroom because we weren't allowed to do that outside of designated breaks.

Also I noticed his whole complaint was paying $40 versus $35, which indicates to me that it's some kind of pay as you go plan.  I would assume phone companies (especially the big ones like Verizon) don't really care all that much about those types of customers.  they want the "whales" who have their whole family on a plan.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

what a take 

"honey you're not gay you're just a girl correctly attracted to men"

Mermaids as a charity has been linked to a number of recent controversies about how things are being handled, and it seems pretty clear that the BBC is specifically disassociating with that particular organisation.

e:

Here's the BBC's response to earlier complaints upon this issue:

Our off-air support for gender identity has not been removed, but was temporarily unavailable while we looked at the information and support we gave across this area. We recognise how important off-air support is for people.

We have now updated the Action Line page which supports the fuller range of LGBT issues and links to a number of organisations so that it also now includes a link to gender identity information which is provided on the NHS website, which includes that relating to children. The NHS site then links from its relevant sections to additional organisations.

We do recognise a number of people might want this provided differently, or to list many other organisations directly, but hope this reassures you that the off-air information about available support has not been discontinued.

"Took a screenshot of the last chat window but can't upload it now."
"And he replies with a sarcastic sentence which I'm too lazy to check it at the screenshot I took."

If his account was indeed "deleted", it sounds like an overreaction by the support person he had but I'm not totally convinced it was deleted or that his retelling of his interaction is especially faithful.

I made two claims;
1) that the charity Mermaids has been attached to a number of recent controversies so its not shocking that they would not be simultaneously presented as a resource to go to while criticised in news reports
and
2) activists screaming "transphobia" at any perceived transgression against their doctrine meant it was removed quietly

Then one guy says that he and his girlfriend just didn't like captain marvel and she deflects to "how dare you mention your girlfriend"

Can't agree with this. The actress has a lot of charisma but her characterization on the movie or the way they directed her was the kind of arrogant with no charisma. I watched with my girlfriend and she hated it.

Please don't use your girlfriend to make your opinion more legitimate, you are essentially using it as a "I can't be sexist cus my girlfriend agrees with me" card and it's not cool, and it's done all the time on these forums.

I don't know why she's mad at him mentioning his girlfriend when her previous point was that the character is written for women.

It's almost like...some people liked her and some didn't, exactly like reactions we have seen to any male characters over the years.

Are there plenty of legit sexist assholes out there who didn't like her solely because she's a woman? Yeah. But this conspiracy they are yet again conjuring up that every guy out there who didn't like her or the movie must somehow be secretly sexist, instead of just not liking the writing or the movie is so goddamn annoying.

Anyone who is advocating for defunding a corporation is an idiot and doesn't actually understand what "defund" means, they are just using it as another way to say "boycott".
