This lack of autonomy and control also means that Black struggles, just by way of how Black culture is constantly taken and stolen without acknowledgement or compensation, are rendered universal. Reckeless comparisons to slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, and the n-word abound everywhere. Everyone's struggles, and imagined slights, inevitably bite off of ours, to the point where we're sometimes responsible not just for our fights, but everyone else's too simultaneously (ex. how many times have threads about Black representation been derailed with "well, what about my group?" Like....Start your own thread?)So it makes sense then that people really do barge in with an unearned sense of authority to speak on Blackness and Black struggle even when they aren't Black. And when ignorance and paternalistic self-confidence mix, you get folks who muscle on in and say that, because something similar happened to them and they were fine with it, they don't see the problem when it happens to Black people. Like cool, if you are okay with being treated a certain kind of way by majority groups and in media, that's your prerogative. But it doesn't have shit to do with Black people.

For real. What is this shit?Our brains aren’t even fully matured until we hit 25. I’m 32 and the thought of dating someone younger than 25 makes me so uncomfortable, never mind the fact that we’d be in very different life stages.
There isn't enough focus on this in this thread. It's really the only objective measurement there is. The argument for "well it's legal" is faulty, that is a subjective limit that is different in different countries and *quite* different historically. The brain develops until 25 and that's that.For what it's worth, I don't even think it's wrong to have sex with a consenting adult that is much younger than you. I'm 42 and have had sex with plenty of young men in their 20s. But I've had a couple young men start to catch feels from those encounters too, and that's where it ended because the power disparity that results from underdeveloped emotional maturity and a lack of adult experiences is obvious. It's being intimately and deeply involved exclusively with women in this age bracket that is problematic and creepy imho, not the sex. That is literally the cutoff when the average person's brain has fully developed. That is weird.

The problem isn't sex, is not being able to hold a relationship with someone past 25 when you're almost 50
Quote from: Nepenthe Black people actually have no autonomy worth respecting.

When I look at this man, all I can think of is: when are we getting compensated (or at least acknowledged) for the tragedy and cardinal sin of *sharing culture*?

In the latest years, thanks to many brave journalists and people willing to speak up, we have seen a reckoning of video game companies being exposed for immoral and illegal actions. The major issues that have come to light are sexual and general harassment, the everpresent -isms and phobias, and crunch culture. What was your response to this as a singular consumer? Personally I feel about all of these issues, but crunch especially as I work in IT and had to see my health deteriorate in real time, to the point that I needed a full year of therapy and uncountable medical expenses to finally return to a semi-normal state. Thinking I could subject other people to this makes my skin crawl. Of course most of you will have similar stories about any of these issues that might make you feel the same way. I also understand that some people view this as ultimately futile, because personal reasons or the good old "no ethical consumption under capitalism" adage, I would like to hear from these people as well.Feel free to delete this thread if the subject isn't allowed.
It might not mean something to the bottom line, but it means something to the people it affects being able to see others taking a stand in support of them. Not everything boils down to only doing something if it has the immediate and total potential of resolving the issue outright. Especially when it comes to minority issues, where it will almost always be more like moving grains of sand to eventually move a beach, than expecting any single instance of an issue to be the turning point.

In that regard, everyone knows that Latin America is just not Mexico, right? We share some food, sure, but is not the only thing you guys could denote. The covers are fine and I don’t think there is racism, but RE is right that there is a lot of different stuff.

I don't know. Making fun of someone for being obese feels a bit too mean to me, especially given the high rates of diabetes in the black community in America. I'm not about that.
Cloudflare are right about what they do and why they shouldn't be responsible for deciding who is protected by their services if it is not illegal.They're also right about the dipshits screaming about having those protections removed being the same fucking people who would lose those protections themselves if precedent is set.

Diabetes and obesity both have a strong genetic predisposition, and Slayven's mama is so fat.
Jorge Molina asked for his signature to be removed from the cover with tamales because he didn’t want associated with it, so of course there are people in here saying they don’t have a problem with it.
Maybe you, a white person from Pittsburgh, shouldn't be telling Latin people what they should feel offended about?
This is equivalent of Asian heritage month using nothing but Chinese takeout food.
The one with the Mexican flag is better, but also as a Mexican I really liked the tamales one
That's funny, that's the one I don't really like.
