ArcaneSlime,

Wouldn’t you like to get away?

ArcaneSlime,

So, for example the Usa flag upside down means insulting the Usa.

Gee, I wonder why he was talking about the US in response to this in your comment, and the OP saying it was related to the New York (the one in the US, not old York in the UK) Times. Damn Americans, there are other countries!

ArcaneSlime,

KKK clan

Did they find him for interview at the ATM machine?

ArcaneSlime,

Yes lol, “Ku Klux Klan.” As to why, your guess is as good as mine, not even sure they know anymore, that secret may have died with the first klan.

ArcaneSlime,

Houthis and the Blowfish?

ArcaneSlime,

What did the French think they were going to do against the German military? Frankly I’d rather die in “The Resistance” than just be like “ok yeah cool, fascism!”

ArcaneSlime,

Did we have a different 2016-2020? Where were the camps, tanks, and aforementioned resistance fighters? OH Myanmar? I don’t live there.

ArcaneSlime,

After the resistance begins*? Yeah lol. Your suggestion that I be a lone wolf with a rifle v the US gov isn’t “a resistance” and is instead just a mass shooting, and you know it. Quit pretending you’re that dumb.

ArcaneSlime,

Oh my mistake, guess you’re not pretending.

ArcaneSlime,

Fishflies #6 - Nearing the end of this 7 parter. A kid is shot, the shooter turns into a…thing…, the thing links up with an outcast little girl who identifies with the outcast criminal, somehow this all connects to previous cases and a darker secret in the town that I don’t know yet....

ArcaneSlime,

I ended up not picking up Doom, I just never can get into marvel, idk why.

ArcaneSlime,

Idk, to use another lemming’s comment from this very post,

My proverbial beef isn’t the pointing out of how manny men are predators and that the risksfor women are non-zero; my problem more specifically is that the meme stacks handily on top of the already vexing racial profiling I deal with as a black man who’s had false allegations leveled in the past and lost jobs because of the weaponization of this fear. I have already spent damn near a half century being presumed some kind of feral Mandingo rape beast purely for existing while black. The presumption of interest in all of these women like a scene out of Kentucky Fried Movie gets really old and they get super vindictive when rejected.

To me it does seem analogous to the whole racist “black people are 12% of the population but commit 50% of the crime” thing, in that while it is true it is still racist to assume every black person will commit a crime against you and use it as a basis to fear them. Furthermore white people also commit plenty crime and get away with it, padding the numbers, and many women also get away with coercing/forcing men to have sex because nobody believes or gives a fuck about male victims (trust me, am one, 2 diff women,) so it often also goes unreported. On that note actually in many places in the us “rape” requires penetration, so if a woman forces you to penetrate her “you must’ve liked it” and no court case for you!

Personally I think it’d be prudent not to vilify an entire gender while also excluding victims from said gender.

Hell I understand though, at least with the bear I’d only be brutally mauled instead of forced to have sex with it, and 2/infinity women I’ve met have forced me to have sex with them so imo all women could, I’ll take the bear too.

ArcaneSlime,

Phrased*

Not trying to be a dick just trying to be helpful!

ArcaneSlime,

I’ve never raped anyone but I’ve been forced/coerced to have sex with two different women, and yes I’m a little offended at the fact that simply due to my gender I’m lumped in with the perpetrators rather than the victims, and that the perpetrators are lumped in with the victims in my stead. It goes beyond the bear post and is partially the result of the fact that nobody gives two shits about male victims, and the fact that in many localities rape requiring penetration excludes men from seeking justice by default, the being treated as a predator whilst being preyed upon is just the icing on the cake, really.

If that makes me worse than the bear, because I’d rather we not use inflammatory and gendered language to vilify a whole gender and exclude its victims for the lulz, then so be it.

ArcaneSlime,

Close, but no cigar. I’m empathetic to those women, and in fact I agree we can all be more vigilant to protect ourselves from harm of any kind. What I do not agree with is the unnecessary inflammatory gendered language which actually does more harm than good and alienates male victims while praising woman perpetrators, and with people like you who minimize my experiences and viewpoints because you’d rather dismiss them than treat me like a human. I do not agree that because some men are abusive we should treat them all as if they probably are, just as my experiences with two of the many women I have met are expected not to taint my view of their entire gender.

I’m not angry at women, I’m angry at individuals like yourself, who are shitty people masquerading as a moral authority, fucking do better.

ArcaneSlime,

This is basically my entire point. Don’t make posts like “I’d rather the bear than the women because a bear will just maul me but the woman will force me to have sex with her,” which are designed to evoke a negative reaction. Instead, a real conversation where it’s victim v offender instead of man v woman is likely more productive. Now that it has become an inflammatory gendered thing all we’re doing is talking about that instead of the “original intent” (frankly I think it was intended as it came, but “benefit of the doubt” I guess.)

ArcaneSlime,

Thanks, but I’m over what happened now, it was years ago, but it just bugs me to deal with all the bullshit surrounding it, like this issue with the bear thing.

I just think we should all come together on this issue for the betterment of everyone instead of bicker about “men this, women that, and nonbinary don’t exist in this conversation.”

ArcaneSlime,

Tbf the fact that it failed kinda proves his point, and the fact that the ok symbol is “now a nazi dogwhistle” (or, like, that whole “swastika” thing) disproves your second point.

ArcaneSlime,

Can’t tell if you’re saying the hindus/other cultures had used the swastika for years and so that’s why the nazis were able to steal it (which would seem to be applicable to the pride flag as well, also an established symbol,) or that the nazis were able to adopt the OK symbol because it wasn’t well established as a symbol for one group, but rather a general signal for “Ok” since like wwii.

In any case, I doubt it, if that were the reason why wouldn’t they have been successful in taking the swastika but not the pride flag, both established symbols? Much more likely that it didn’t work “because we didn’t let it” which kinda seems to be his entire point imo.

ArcaneSlime,

Early Western travellers to Asia were inspired by its positive and ancient associations and started using it back home. By the beginning of the 20th Century there was a huge fad for the swastika as a benign good luck symbol.

“Coca-Cola used it. Carlsberg used it on their beer bottles. The Boy Scouts adopted it and the Girls’ Club of America called their magazine Swastika. They would even send out swastika badges to their young readers as a prize for selling copies of the magazine,”

It was used by American military units during World War One and it could be seen on RAF planes as late as 1939. Most of these benign uses came to a halt in the 1930s as the Nazis rose to power in Germany.

The irony is that the swastika is more European in origin than most people realise. Archaeological finds have long demonstrated that the swastika is a very old symbol, but ancient examples are by no means limited to India. It was used by the Ancient Greeks, Celts, and Anglo-Saxons and some of the oldest examples have been found in Eastern Europe, from the Baltic to the Balkans .

Single swastikas began to appear in the Neolithic Vinca culture across south-eastern Europe around 7,000 years ago. But it’s in the Bronze Age that they became more widespread across the whole of Europe. In the Museum’s collection there are clay pots with single swastikas encircling their upper half which date back to around 4,000 years ago. When the Nazis occupied Kiev in World War Two they were so convinced that these pots were evidence of their own Aryan ancestors that they took them back to Germany. (They were returned after the war.)

The Ancient Greeks also used single swastika motifs to decorate their pots and vases. One fragment in the collection from around 7th Century BCE shows a swastika with limbs like unfurling tendrils painted under the belly of a goat.

The swastika remained a popular embroidery motif in Eastern Europe and Russia right up to World War Two. A Russian author called Pavel Kutenkov has identified nearly 200 variations across the region.

Why does a state like California that has supermajorities in both houses of the legislature not have a livable wage, housing guarantees, universal healthcare, and other very progressive policies?

I keep being told it’s because of the Republicans that we can’t have nice things. So what gives in California? We should be overflowing with progressive policies.

ArcaneSlime,

Shhh don’t realize the democrats don’t care about you either, some guy will say “both sides” and that would be lame, we just have to be quiet about the failings of the democrat party because the republicans are worse so we can’t even discuss the possibility of making things better.

ArcaneSlime,

No it makes perfect sense, let me break it down for you.

nah, this is how vegan treat others

See, here he denies that this is how the religious treat people with “nah,” offering up vegans as the “true” exhibitors of this behavior. Now to break down my response piece by piece.

Well “yes,”

He is correct, that is how ideological vegans, the ones who feel you should be vegan for moral reasons and as a result are very preachy and evangelistic, operate.

but “that is because to the ideological vegans, it is a religion,”

but the ideological vegans behave this way due to the fact that ideological veganism is tantamount to a religion

so not “nah” but “yes and-.”

So, with this in mind, the “nah” isn’t accurate, as both ideological vegans and the religious both act with the same vitriolic fervor due to them considering themselves morally superior to their respective “out” groups, so instead of

nah, this is how vegan treat others

It is

Yes (this is how the religious treat others), and this is how vegan treat others, as well.

To further explain the “yes and-” joke, Here is a youtube video from some random guy about the rules of improv. #2- “yes and-” is of particular import to this discussion, as it may be key to understanding the reference.

I hope that helped you understand my complex comment, no need to glitch about it.

(Just preemptively, to explain, see, “glitch” rhymes with “bitch,” and so you see a pun was made in which you said I’m glitching and I said “no need to glitch about it,” you see. I hope this one was not similarly misunderstood.)
