They're literally getting strapped up with glocks to fight against the imaginary genocide, but aren't willing to protect their homes from burglars?  :-\


Kinda like that thread where that kid punched an old man to death who called him the N-word, and were all, "fuck around and find out" and he "expedited his own demise".  Home invasion is not fucking around, I guess.

I hate this thread. I mean I really hate it.

I knew the USA had a gun problem. We can clearly see that from the level of annual deaths from firearms, especially in children and teenagers. We see the mass shootings that hit the headlines, especially when it’s innocent children or people enjoying a night out and targeted because they dare to be different.

We see the influence guns have in politics, even in religion, “god and guns”. No restrictions, no control. It’s your “right”. You cannot change the amendment.

I thought most people in this forum from the USA were different. But actually, this thread is surprising. Shocking.

People are talking about “all bets are off”, “we don’t know their intent”. “Fuck about and find out“.

And.

”I’m prepared to kill.”

Who the hell talks like this, they are “prepared to take a life“. How do you prepare for that ? Have you had counselling to take away emotion and empathy? Military training to brainwash you into fearing an “enemy.”?

I’m not prepared to take a life, like every single normal person. There is no situation where I’d be prepared to take a life. None.

someone breaks into my house right now? I’m grabbing my phone and I’m out of here. Calling the police, watching from a safe distance, preparing to run.

what I’m not doing is grabbing an improvised weapon.
what I’m not doing is grabbing a gun.

where the hell do you keep them anyway? locked up? Ammo locked separately? Ask the intruder for time to get two sets of keys?

the replies in this thread are truly shocking. It’s gun porn, it’s fetishism.

your whole life is a lie. That the bogeyman is coming to get you. That you need to keep you and your family safe. That you would take your gun, and murder someone in cold blood. As soon as they cross some property line, “all bets are off”.

how do you think the rest of the world deals with this?

Seriously if you are a cis person in this thread, shut up, this is not your lane

But why do our threads keep dropping off the front page? Fuck you, cis people.

This is such a bullshit argument anyway because if trans athletes have an advantage it very much affects cis women

Transwomen are biological males. Biological males have athletic advantages over biological women (since they are two different sexes with distinct and immutable physical differences that can not be overcome by hormone therapy). It's reality, not a fantasy made up by transphobic boogeymen. Biological women have every right to be mad that they have to compete against human beings that they literally do not have the genetic makeup to beat.*

The mods bends over backwards to accommodate you. They ban entire games and now franchises to accommodate you. TransERA has more sway with the mods than any other demographic on the forum by a wide margin. Trans members can easily get threads locked and cis users banned by merely mass reporting. By large, TransERA effectively runs that community.

By what possible, reasonable measure can trans members on ERA claim to be "unsafe"?

Seriously is there anyone sane that honestly believes this shit? All the reeeeeeee's want to do is play victim for attention. The amount of them that is actually trans is probably very low, let alone the trifecta of crap Sophia supposedly has.

Even if everyone agrees with them and "stays in their lane like the cis scum that they are" Reeetrans will always feel unsafe because it gets them the most attention.

Defend her rights as an anti-trans spokesperson? Nope.

As an activist? Nope.

As a writer/creator? Hell yeah.

Maybe I'm too close to this as an aspiring writer myself but I'd be livid if something I wrote took off massively and then because of whatever wrongful views I hold, people tried to cut me out of controlling my life's work.

That's not the only reason it's a garbage argument. Everyone can care and have opinions about things that don't affect them directly. We can all have opinions about Saudi Arabia despite not being directly affected by what their regime does. The "stay in your lane" argument has always been complete garbage.

it's literally happened a bunch of times at various venues and levels of sport  :doge

https://nypost.com/2023/03/30/male-powerlifter-enters-womens-event-breaks-record/

also, if all it takes to be trans is self-ID and we decide not to impose any limits like Canada is doing, then you can already look at all past male physical achievement records and just assume those are all peak female records now

anyone who isn't dead can say "secretly in my mind I was a woman all along, but I wasn't out of the closet yet, how can you penalize me for being afraid of the consequences of going public, I want all my records attributed as female ones"

yeah, and eventually all the records currently held by women will be held by women instead

apparently that wasn't the theme of the film, that was said by Kylo when he was trying to convince Rey to join him right before continuing to try to kill everyone, ending the film firmly in the same status quo

also the title name drop is Luke actually saying "I will not be the last Jedi" implying this movie is the fulfillment of that promise

We can all have opinions about Saudi Arabia despite not being directly affected by what their regime does. The "stay in your lane" argument has always been complete garbage.

the current societal thrust on the subject of opinions is that if it doesn't concern life and death, you need to not express your opinion if it's negative, because that's unnecessary and hurts feelings and potentially leads to depression and suicide and you should expect a stern talking-to for being so toxic

"if you don't like it, shut up, maybe it wasn't made for you, you're just tearing down people of X culture/fandom who are passionate about it"

whether any given type of opinion falls under this umbrella is ever-shifting and essentially rooted in whether it leans conservative or not

for example, you can't disapprove of art that features men kissing, because even if the only reason you don't like it is on a technical/skill level, it's pretty sus and you're tearing down the gay community by being critical of a deeply felt expression

however, you can disapprove of movies with exclusively heterosexual romances, because they fail to represent the breadth of human experience and normalize similar bigoted content

Reasons for and against trans women competing against cis women

Some people argue that trans women should be allowed to compete against cis women in sports, because they have the right to express their gender identity and participate in activities that they enjoy. They also claim that trans women do not have an unfair advantage over cis women, because they undergo hormone therapy that reduces their testosterone levels and muscle mass.

Others disagree and say that trans women should not compete against cis women in sports, because they still retain some physical benefits from their male puberty, such as bone density, lung capacity and height. They also argue that allowing trans women to compete against cis women would discourage cis women from pursuing sports, because they would feel demoralized and unsafe.

Both sides have valid points, but perhaps the best solution is to create a separate category for trans athletes, where they can compete with each other without affecting the cis athletes. This way, everyone can enjoy sports without feeling discriminated or disadvantaged. Of course, this would require more funding and resources, but it might be worth it in the long run.

though it seems like it declined to make the text funny  :maf

Yeah, really, all the inconsistencies in logic and argumentation can simply be broken down to tribal mentality. Stay-in-your-lane is just "your team is bad so I want you to shut up." It makes it so they don't have to engage with the arguments themselves. It's lazy tribalism.

Lost a bit of respect for FD after he called Vaush a pedo of all things, but I'll check this out.

Quote from: Nepenthe
He didn't call Vaush a pedophile; indeed, he defended him against those charges.

He called him a racist. Which Vaush is.

Quote from: Truant
Not sure if I've kept up as well as you, so I may be wrong. Just saw a clip where he took a Vaush argument laughably out of context. Had no idea people thought Vaush was racist, but let's not derail your thread.

Quote from: Nepenthe
You are very wrong, both about FD's claims and about Vaush's character. Indeed, you are the person who needs to listen to both FD and lil Bill's videos the most. But yes, let's not derail and actually talk about the content at hand, assuming you've watched any of it already.

Some years ago, like 2015, when I still had Facebook, she contacted me, but it took me some months to reply because I hardly logged on Facebook. Come these past days, I contacted her again on Instagram and sent her a friendship request. She has replied my DMs, but hasn't accepted me and she hardly talks. Like, I'm fine thank you. And then later thanking me again because I congratulated her for being a doctor.

Frankly, I don't know what to do now. My account hardly has any private information about me since it is my art account. Not even a single picture of myself. In fact, my profile image is one of my characters. Was that a bad idea? Don't have a personal account, so that's the only way for me to contact her. Should I take a picture of myself to prove her who I really am?

Man, this sucks. I'm a 30 years old man, but when it comes to this kind of stuff, I'm like the shy teenager of high school. And it sucks.

At a science fiction and fantasy writing convention this weekend and of course HP stuff comes up.

There’s a panel today called “my fave author said what?!” That directly mentions Rowling and is about can you still love media by hateful people and I’m massively tempted to go just to see if anyone tries to justify why they can still enjoy Harry Potter at this point.

The con in question is pretty progressive and has a major queer scene and even panels on how to be true allies so I’m curious how it will go lol

Quote from: Nepenthe
I mean, Democrats are only left-wing within the myopic view of the American Overton window where basically anything that isn't a Republican is somehow communist by default. But Democrats still espouse and uphold capitalism, they still adhere to white supremacist ideals like heavy policing, they still engage in militaristic interventionalism and coups in other countries, they barely support labor unions, and all this shit and more is inherent to maintaining the conditions that Black people face today.

Yes, Nepenthe.  The Democratic party organizes itself around the intention to capture a majority of the American electorate.  A majority of Americans don't want to "dismantle capitalism".  You are on the fringes of the political spectrum, do you not get that?

Quote from: Nepenthe
I do not vote for Democrats because I expect them to do anything for me.  I vote for them merely to stop Republicans

They're not going to do more for you than you do for yourself.

Quote
You cannot fundamentally be Pro-Black and Pro-Capitalist at the same time, regardless of how you vote, regardless of how much you talk to your racist family members, and regardless how much you canvass and donate for Democratic candidates. It really is that simple.

You're right, it does sound that simple: Live in a capitalist country and be racially oppressed or leave and flourish elsewhere with the freedom to pursue what makes you happy, unmolested by racism, in the framework of your chosen ideological political system.  What is taking so long for you to leave, then?

While I agree with much of what you said, I vehemently disagree with this statement. There’s nothing inherently racist about capitalism. Our very real institutional racism is not caused by capitalism and socialist/communist countries are not exempt from racism.
I suppose you also believe that the United States also isn't racist because we got rid of Jim Crow?

I agree with Nepenthe, reparations for Black folk would be disastrous and harmful since giving people more capital to work with just feeds back into capitalism (which is inherently anti-Black)

ResetERA.com, like all leftist regimes, is simply about arbitrary moves to try and obtain power over others. When there is nothing but political power and political power is what controls reality it becomes an existential struggle to obtain political power at all times. TransERA is dominant because they have no morals and are committed completely to bad faith acting, any other actor in a political context in which norms are arbitrary will always lose to the greatest bad faith actor possible.

This is the "utopia" that Nepenthe envisions for Black people (and everyone else), a continuous war of all against all in which violence is constantly deployed against impoverished slave laborers as a proxy for arbitrary elite political struggles. Socialism has been discredited in every form imaginable but still the socialist clings to the idea that a certain type of man, always including themselves, is both omnipotent and omniscient so can centrally plan all decisions in life including the future of which they have no knowledge at all, a further delusional form of the socialist mind pretends that a central plan can be adhered too by all without force and therefore maintains an ACAB/abolitionist stance even as they advocate for the state to police every act in life so as to conform to the central plan without deviation. The more a person advocates for this illogical irrational anti-democratic and anti-liberal insanity the greater intelligence they are perceived to have among leftist regimes like ResetERA.com because the more they are dishonestly promoting the central idea: that politics should consume all of life in order to eliminate peaceful cooperation and freedom to instead deploy the wishes of those currently in power by absolute force. All subjects, all thoughts, all expressions, must conform to the central political struggle demanded by the elites or it is a crime against the regime. This is not just the ends of the regime, it is the very means of the regime because no check exists except the arbitrary power struggle among the elites, this is what prioritizes the sudden "revelation" of a comment from decades ago as leverage against other elites, at all times the regime proclaims complete unity so only in retrospect can such "deviations" be revealed which constructs a system in which all are motivated to support whichever lynch mob forms at any moment so as not to become a victim of the mob themselves.

No one here is saying we need more guns in the world. The article you linked to has almost no relevance to this topic.
When you read it, you'll find out that it does. But don't let that stop you from completely ignoring any argument against your already pretty established set of beliefs.

Quote from: Renna Hazel
Many of us saying it's justified are NOT gun owners and have no intention of ever owning a gun. I doubt you see the argument on Era that more guns leads to less crime. That's right wing nonsense and I've never seen anyone here take that stance.
There's people here literally saying, "WHEN YOU BREAK INTO MY HOME, MOTHERFUCKER, YOUR LIFE IS FORFEIT."

That is right wing nonsense. It's rage against the image of a person that is unlikely to even exist in your life. That is literally the crux of right wing paranoia.

Quote from: Renna Hazel
Most of us don't WANT to live in a country full of guns, but we do. And believe it or not, plenty of people in the US have more than one perspective....
What are you going to do about it? Other countries had similar circumstances and changed. The US is not the only place in the world with nutjob conservatives. Why aren't things changing, and do you think that a majority of the average joe actively arguing to keep firearms is helping that along? Answer this genuinely.

Quote from: Renna Hazel
To those of you that live in safe areas, no one is telling you to run out and buy guns and shoot people. But don't act superior to those who don't have that same privilege.

I've dealt with violent criminals, a home invasion, attempted rape. It's horrible, terrifying and sticks with you forever. Even if it was a home invasion where I wasn't attacked, the PTSD, insomnia, feeling unsafe all the time in your own home, etc that follows is also not fun. It didn't make me feel better knowing that Yeona lives in a safer country.
You don't know what my life was like, lol. The fact that all of you are saying every opposing opinion is "sheltered" already says a lot. When I say I live in a safer country, I'm obviously speaking in volume, not anecdotally. Not personally.

I doesn't make me feel better that you live in a country with lots of guns either and I wish that wasn't the case. The only thing me and many others here are trying to do, is shine a light on the absurd fucking idea that the only way you can possibly be safe in your home is if you have guns and are preparing yourself to kill people, when multiple people here have already shown you that having that gun there is SUBSTANTIALLY more likely to hurt you than anyone else.

You and everybody else on this side of the topic is deliberately choosing to ignore that part because even acknowledging it makes it obvious how self-evidently silly it is.

If you go back, it didn’t become a thing until Elliot Page called him out on a talk show. Reoccurring phenomenon where a high profile vaunted figure in the church turbo charges a narrative. Spares any of that independent thinking shit.

Not a defense of Pratt. I won’t be voting for him in 2034
