It’s super ironic that you are the top comment in THIS thread.

Hi again, you assumed that I thought deep fakes worked off magicly making nudes and just didn’t understand the technology of aggregation as opposed to listening to the ways that women are being blackmailed and harassed by it. And that even if deepfake is exponentially faster and more accessible, it’s nothing new or different than drawing a picture of someone naked, even in the age of social media

Instead of actually listening you were arrogant, dismissive and hostile. You are the man in this comic. You are the person who is not harmed by deep fakes, so it’s not a real problem.

And the very next thing you said was…

Imo as these become widespread, we’ll inevitably reach a point where nudes simply don’t matter. If anyone can create a nude of someone else with next to no effort in seconds,

So yes, you apologized for assuming I didn’t understand what I was talking about, but you then double down ignoring the harassment I was bringing up. I’m not interested in discussing any part of this with you, we already have gone round and round. I was just shocked, amazed to read you today and had to highlight your lack of self awareness in saying

“I’ve never experienced it so you must just be imagining it”

Harassment of women with deepfakes has no impact or relevance, because hostility to women only has no impact or relevance to you.

It’s a ridiculous statement to say all men are dangerous and just wait to abuse someone. If you can’t see that right now, I’m sorry.

Never said that. Wouldn’t say that. Don’t think that.

You’re just putting up a strawman to push over. Absolutely no where in this thread did someone say all men are dangerous, in fact I personally said the contrary many many many times.

That’s still masively to high, but it’s not what you seem to make it out to be here.

Again, I didn’t say 1 in 5 per year, that’s you inferring as another strawman. I knew what the stats were, and if we agree that 20% in their lifetime being the victim of SA is a lot, and that 60 something people attacked by bears comparitivly ISN’T many, then my original point stands. I intentionally did not link to any stats about per year because that number true number is unknown and likely wildly under outed as most events are not reported.

Maybe I’d learn something. But you seem far more interested in repeating talking points and be condescending to me.

This is an ironic thing to complain of when you condescendly assume I don’t know what my own links are about, but okay. You act like you’re trying to learn and have a reasonable discussion but all you’ve done is dismiss and make bad faith assumptions while dancing around the actual point, that way more women are harmed by men than bears.

Not all men do this, but it’s immposible to tell the ones who do from the ones who don’t. There is good reason why women are wary of unknown men, we have a learned experience that dropping your guard can quickly lead to absolutely horrible outcomes. As I said before, 1 in 5 women have such experince.

So compare this to a bear existing in the woods. Bears already do that, they generally mind their own business and only in rare cases attack humans. Sure there are probally SOME ultra aggressive bears out there, just like ultra aggressive men, but as a population bears are not actively seeking out women to harm. However there IS unknown invisible amount of men who are doing exactly that. Finding women who are alone and vulnerable. The question isn’t “who could do more damage to a woman, a bear or a man?” it’s who would you rather risk being alone with?

Most women pick the bear because statistically, going to lead to better outcomes. If I come across the bear will likely keep fishing/gathering, the ways to run hide or scare it off are obviouse. But coming across a man in the woods is flat out scary, maybe they will help, but if they are a bad person, then my ability to hide, run or escape is VASTLY diminished against someone who is both as intelligent as I, but also probally much faster and stronger.

Not every man would chase us down, but 20% of women have encountered men who WILL take opportunities when presented with them. Being alone in the woods away from defenses, civilization or any amount of assistance? I’ll be completely at his mercy It’s just not comperable situation against a bear.

So if your interested in potentially learning something about a different perspective, than you need to actually do that instead of just going to the knee jerk dissimal “not all men are violent” which was never said in the first place.

😂 😂 😂

The convoluted techincal logicistics of why it’s not gay and precisely when it does become so is silly. The answer is that yes, doing sexual acts with someone of the same sex/gender meets the common definition of being gay. But gay and straight are just words used to self identify. Humans are way dynamic than trying to cling to these arbitrary labels. Having a threesome has zero impact on you telling a potential partner that you are gay/straight because you’re interested in them.

Labels are important and helpful, but we gotta remember they are just words that can’t define the sum of a human not accurately catch the essential essence of any single person. So it’s healthy to recognize their limitations, trying to precisely define what is and isn’t gay just feels like cope so you can keep calling yourself straight. Just do it, this doesn’t matter.

inb4_FoundTheVegan, 5 days ago

Well, that is is true. This sort of nuance, understanding and acceptance would absolutely be lost on someone so outwardly bigoted. Everyone, and especially MoL essentialism about what IS and isn’t normal is just so sad and misguided.

Body positivity" is garbage. People should be honest and support healthy lifestyles

Feels like you are falling in to the same critism trap that catches “Pride” events, lots of people say that they can be proud of lots of things, not nessecarily an indentity or sexuality.

But pride is more about not feeling shame for things you can’t control. Body positivity is about way more than overweight people, but being happy of who you are regardless of any stigma.

It’s not my place to say people should like “short kings”, I truly couldnt care less about individuals liking or disliking a given term. I just feel your reasoning would be better built upon infantalizing without attacking people that are fidng zen outside of unfair cultural stigma.

inb4_FoundTheVegan, 5 days ago

It bothered me in high school but I found out shortly after it really doesn’t matter that much if you carry yourself confidently.

Which is accurate and admirable, but for those still in high school feeling bothered, wouldn’t the population of the term help them get to your head space faster? Terms of encouragement are a lot more valuable to the vulnerable than the secured.

inb4_FoundTheVegan, 5 days ago

It sorta feels like you’re either saying “dude your shortness is so impressive that I’m jealous” which doesn’t make sense because that’s kind of a strange thing to be proud of

It’s not something to be proud or ashamed of, it’s just a physical trait that says nothing about a persoms charcter. But tons of people feel less than or are mocked for these sorts of intrinsic traits. Consider queer people, “Pride” events aren’t about being proud of a sexuality/identity. It’s refusing to be shamed in the face of cultural taboos and social stigma, it’s about self love and acceptance than showing off something others should be jealous of.

Fucking horseshit.

These drugs aren’t dangerous, and for those that seek them it’s often life saving. This isn’t “illegal prescriptions” like oxy for a high that fuels drug trade. Seriously, there is no gain for humanity by making life MORE difficult for trans folk. Especially in the UK where the wait list for a prescription is literally YEARS long.

It’s super duper disengenerous to call these illegal drug. Their medicine for people with gender dysphoria, and further restricting their access to it is nothing short of cruelty.

inb4_FoundTheVegan, 1 day ago

Which ignores the context that getting them with a prescription is becoming a functional immposiblity for trans people in the UK. I support the concept that prescription drugs should not be for sale, BUT it is disengenerous that the prescription process is arbitrarily years long and constantly under attack.

My trans friend who lives in the UK has been forced to get her medication from the web because she has been on a waiting list to get a prescription for over three years now! She actively wants someone with a medical degree involved in her care, but that’s literally immposible for her, despite her well paying job. It’s easy enough to say “don’t break the law” while ignoring the people harmed.

inb4_FoundTheVegan, 1 day ago

Forgetting that the law does not equal morality, and that these harmless medications are blocked from a 3+ years long wait list to get legally. No trans person WANTS to use the web for their healthcare, they WANT to have access to regular blood panels and those holding degrees, but in the UK that is simply not possible due to arbitrary meaningless political attacks.

Take your “just follow the law” argument all the way to legalized slavery and realize how ignorant, privileged and foolish you sound.

little bit deep into Star Wars lore.

Oh sure, that makes sense. I guess this is an perspective thing and you’re welcome to call me a huge dork. But idk, just feel like basic media literacy if you watch the whole series. 😂

inb4_FoundTheVegan, 6 days ago

Idk if it’s a replacement so much as inevitable, complianct democracy leads to faccism, both in star wars and the real world. Ancient jedi teaching and flawed founding fathers constitution mean nothing when there is a tiered power structure. Without justice for the subjacted and endless wealth to the subjactor, there is an endless cycle of righteous rebellion kept in check by all of the resources of wealth, it’s an endless boiling point.

The answer is raise the floor and lower the ceiling, drastically. But so long as money = power, those with wealth will did all they can to maintain hegemony. Even if that just invariably kicks the can down to a more explosive rebellion / boot to the neck. Democracy was never equipped to deal with class warfare, hell, you weren’t even a person in revolution America if you didn’t hold land.

Luke is the modern neoliberalism order trying to make incrimental change to a system that needs to be scrapped and restarted.

inb4_FoundTheVegan, 5 days ago (edited 5 days ago)

What’s weird is that I have never interacted or read the comments to thus sub. So idk, whatever, I’m a cliche. But its evidently a common take, so feels super random that people got so weird about it, I went to sleep with this comment +10 and sorta suprsied that it got flagged for deleting because of downvotes.

inb4_FoundTheVegan, 6 days ago

But tbh I think that if we take the original trilogy, the Rebels are cleary fighting a reactionary imperialist power, ie. an analogy to the Vietnam war

Lucas was very explicit that this was always the intent. It’s not reallt subtle honestly, asymmetric jungle freedom fighters fighting wealthy imperialist?

Sandra Pagniano disappeared while she was in the process of divorcing her husband

Piece of shit would rather kill her than let her live a life without him.

inb4_FoundTheVegan, 2 days ago (edited 2 days ago)

Exactly! In the same boat over here. I’m sure The Marvel’s is fun and fine, but I haven’t got around to Ms. Marvel yet and now I just feel fatigue at the whole concept of doing homework to catch up.

inb4_FoundTheVegan, 2 days ago

I agree with her final take.

$6,000 plus for two day down to the minute itinerary app based experince? Hell no. Sounds expensive and exhausting.

$400 bucks for a dinner for two with drinks, a floor show and a ton of cool photo ops? Well that’s something I would consider for a fun date night if I lived in the area.

I like the idea of actions over words, but voting in Portland is 100% mail in. The whole process takes like 10 minutes tops. Is there really something else you can do with that small amount of time that has an effect on government actions that would exclude you from voting? Like, I get it, “stop funding genocide” isn’t on the ballot, but what action are you doing that will help stop said genocide that precludes you from ALSO taking 10 minutes to vote?

If you don’t have a good answer for that, then not voting is literally virtue signaling. Which is by definition using words instead of action.
