Top Gun 2 crushing at the box office is one of those stories that people will look back on in 5 years and be like
 

The story is nonsensical and will not stand up to repeat viewing.

Can't wait for the, "We were actually wrong about Top Gun 2" articles in 12 months time.

Still, was a fun flick as long as you didn't worry about anything making sense.

I disagree, it's a timeless movie.

User Banned (1 Month): Racism, previous ban for dismissing concerns around Black representation

Why not just use a normal phrase

Lol, why don't they permban the racists?

Rhetorical question I assume, but they don't when they know it's a bullshit ban.

OP makes a dumbass thread combining obscure hood meme with the fucking Marvel Cinematic Universe, and those 'in the know' act offended when there's confusion from people who have no idea wtf they're talking about. The guy banned for racism likely had no clue this was even a demographical thing.

Obviously a topic that would've only made sense in the confines of a black community thread, but they do shit like this on purpose.

not gonna lie, without knowing a thing about this and reading the OP where it's like oh black air force means you're chaotic evil

I assumed the intent was that black people in the air force are supposedly well known for getting up to some heinous shit? like I thought OP was actually being racist

"But what is important for both employees and managers to take away is that being politically correct is not costless. Instead, being politically correct may be exhausting, and as a result employees might be particularly tired and argumentative at night. And so for employees who are doing this, they need to be aware of how it makes them feel and strive to avoid enacting negative behaviors at home. Managers need to understand these possible costs as well, as there are a number of possible ways to mitigate the depletion that employees may feel from being politically correct."

[clothedmacuser]

New York Magazine (another pro-right publication) had an overly long article from a nonbinary person talking about the path of pronouns they've seen in their life.  She/he (I can't recall) said it was cringe being at a party and having a person in nearby conversation misgender her and then that person being being scolded all while everyone looked to her for approval.


As for what that Psypost.com (almost certain is right wing) is saying, for me, when a person tells me something I said is racist sometimes I will say, "huh.  Was it?  I'll have to think of about that."

Other times I say, "make sure to avoid this person from now on." 

This is dependent on the person telling me.  The Era notables would make that list.

We had a Zoom call a week ago where one participant had no picture and his name was random looking letters. I even made a note to figure out who that was later.

One of my colleagues got confused by a bit of very technical rambling this individual did and said something along the lines of "ok, let's try to put this into English" and then broke the technical discussion down to simple terms the non-engineers would understand.

A couple days later we got hit with an HR complaint because the mystery participant was from Puerto Rico and was offended, as he interpreted this as an attack because he's a minority and we think he doesn't speak English.

Meetings were had and apologies had to be written. That's definitely exhausting.

I like this real life example because it shows that a lot of this stuff isn't "people being assholes" but simple misunderstandings. A lot of the folks on RE seem like the people though who'd ascribe malice to every fucking thing (as often seen with their outrages)

I believe contrapoints had the same take. You don't actually feel accepted as a woman when people keep asking your pronouns. This gained her hate from other folks because she apparently has privilege for passing as a woman

[Uncle]

the comments on that article are pretty spicy

As a millennial and a member of the lgbtq community, I have to say this essay is terrible. It in no way represents the non-binary and gender-nonconforming people I know, including myself. Most of us appreciate people trying to get our pronouns right, asking about them, and apologizing if they make a mistake. I genuinely don’t see how this article could accomplish anything except encourage prejudice and violence against queer people, as it makes us seem as though our identities are trends, when even a cursory knowledge of queer history proves that to be untrue. Very sad to read this trash during Pride. Please fire this entitled, self-involved writer; there are plenty of queer young people who can express themselves without communicating disdain for literally everyone else.

 

Ah yes 45-year-old cis women, a demographic that has definitely never contemplated the tyranny of gender, essentially just a bunch of nineteen-fifties housewives that have accidentally found themselves in the office.

 

Holy shit this entire piece makes my brain hurt. I’m straight and here’s a news flash Brock: The absolute vast majority of the planet does not a give a shit about any of this. And they never will. Ask a single person in Ukraine right now what they think about “pronoun sensitivity” and they would laugh in your face just before punching your lights out. The problem with the “pronoun culture” is the overwhelming massive egos that accompany this supposedly (more like “assumed”) “cutting edge” thinking, which it is not. Your article is right from the standpoint none of this serves anyone and should probably start to quietly fade into some form casual discussion rather than continue to be promoted as a hot stove topic. Fact is it’s completely divergent from actual progression. All of this is a waste of time when the world is dealing with actual real problems; a war, women and children dying, the environment, a former American dictator bent on regaining power. Yet here you and the rest of the pronoun specific “sensitive” crowd sit, with your massive egos, feeling troubled about a world that isn’t sensitive and caring about you not being able to accept your born as a male reality. Get a fucking clue. I’ll be pretty fucking disgusted the day any of my non-straight friends start deluding themselves into thinking non binary pronoun discussions belong anywhere other than corners reserved for casual talks about the quirkiness of proper modern day English language and how it should evolve someday. Discussions that should happen over beer or coffee, and then everyone moves on with life once the bill is paid. This is not something to get worked up about, and to let it divulge into fervor is more mental illness than progressive boundary pushing. But if I’m wrong go ahead argue your case with some desperate starving person in Ukraine. I’m sure they’ll be chomping at the bit to listen intently and champion your cause.

[Uncle]

I'm sorry, but this article is ridiculous. It is not about the use of non-gender specific pronouns. It is all about the author. They give themselves away in the beginning when by describing their preference for "they/them", saying when they do, that they has "some fun, especially when I see how befuddled the whole thing can make people". And at the end of his article, they lament that the use of non-gender specific pronouns isn't "alt" anymore and complains that the use of the very pronouns they advocated has resulted in "nonbinary becoming just the third gender after male and female". I think the subject of the article is about the author wanting recognition for being at the forefront of change but now feeling that they is not so "special" anymore.

Lest you think I sound mean and unsympathetic, conservative, etc., let me say that I have a transgender son a few years older than the author. I understand the importance of finally being able to be openly trans but rather than write about pronouns, there are many more important LGBTQI issues to write about, e.g. equality under the law and the movement by conservatives to roll back gains that have been made in the last 20 years.

 

[benjipwns]

That article basically admits that the entire pronoun thing is to abuse other people and Brock lost interest because people were complying too well and he couldn't find a new way to spin it to his advantage.

The funny thing is that article barely made a blip on trans Twitter even as Brock thought he was doing this brave and stunning article that would center the conversation on himself. He completely screwed up the genre of the article and so it died in irrelevancy.

b) he sounds the same and looks the same except for a wig, but he's always been in random costumes

c) jim himself has at various times said he's not too precious about pronouns

d) jim is a provocateur, at one point he was practically alt right and tweeting at random women to call them bitches and cunts, he gives games troll scores to rile everyone up, and has now just done the next easy thing to be in the spotlight

e) re: "don't call them they for them's sake, but for the sake of listeners that might be offended and appreciate your allyship" there is a 0% chance I will ever mention jim in the presence of anyone who might be offended

sorry, I'm not going to expend a conscious effort to change anything for jim's comfort, who will never even read this
