The Culture War Thread

The only way that UN tweet makes any sense is if the percentage of dead women journalists vs overall women journalists is orders of magnitude higher than the men equivalent. I have a feeling it isn’t though, but who knows?

I’m on the wrong side of herstory now, aren’t I? 

[benjipwns]

The UN tweet implies that massively more women journalists are targeted but the people doing the targeting are so ineffective that they kill men journalists at ten to twenty times the rate.

Y�all the most fall in line negroes in American history. This can�t simply be about Kyrie, it gotta be about �some Black men�. As if any group of Black people wouldn't share similar opinions. But it must be about Black men. https://t.co/HgVF6VYSee

All the Long COVID nuts in the replies with "at least HIV has a cure and actual medical science researching it!"

[Potato]

Although, my understanding is that HIV, when controlled with medication, is pretty much a non-issue these days.

Although, my understanding is that HIV, when controlled with medication, is pretty much a non-issue these days.

A quick Google search will tell you that's wrong.

The virus may never become fatal, but it can have a significant impact on your life and health. One study showed that people with HIV live 16 fewer years in good health than people who don't have the virus.

HIV medicine has definitely improved a lot in the last ~40 years, but it's still very much a virus that you want to avoid catching.

[Potato]

Most definitely. Should probably avoid COVID too though and any other virus/disease.

Call of Duty should have a literal trigger warning every time you pull the trigger.

"CONTENT WARNING: This shot may kill another player's character."

I would play this ironically

content warning: the game

Remember when Lebron James tweeted a photo of a police officer with the words "you're next" after the officer shot a knife-wielding maniac who was in the process of trying to murder a young woman? He was never suspended, never condemned by the NBA, never any accountability at all

That's why I can't take the backlash against Kyrie Irving seriously. It's not like we hold athletes to a high standard when it comes to their public rhetoric. The standard rises or falls dramatically depending on who it is and depending on the politics involved.

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) November 6, 2022

https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1589360135428009984

This is to say nothing of Lebron�s tweets about the Jacob Blake shooting. He was leveraging his massive platform to personally destroy the lives of innocent police officers and encourage rioting in the process. It�s hard to imagine speech more harmful than that.

Nah, the NBA should not be policing players' social media. (And did not in this case, it was the Nets ownership.)

Should I see what if anything Walsh tweeted about Daryl Morey?

[Himu]

I think he's calling for fairness, not calling for policing players' social media. He's basically asking,"why does Lebron get a pass?" I would think. Or at least that's how I'm seeing it. I personally think players should be able to say whatever they want on their social media.

But they weren't trying to 'take advantage' of the local culture for PR purposes. They were provided these clothes by the Indonesian hosts. I believe its customary for the host country to do this, especially in Southeast Asia
