  • There was a Tumblr post about how Hermoine was a bad ally because she kept trying to release elves who didn't want to be released. Or something along those lines.

    Not necessarily a bad argument

    The term "bitch" ought to be considered more offensive than "fuck" or "shit", because -- or at least in the cases where -- it is used with sexist/misogynistic implications.

    Actually, it is more offensive in many places.

    So, as far as I understand the deep history of english-language swears, from my extensive knowledge of all things obscene, back in the Medieval Era, religious swears like g's and h's and d's were the really bad ones; because the christian english-speakers of the Medieval Era believed in Christianity kinda like that one C.S. Lewis metaphor about the sun.    But basically, they feared spiritual trouble a lot, so religious swears were the worst.

    In the so-called Victorian Era (named after a the world's largest-scale drug dealer), English-speakers were terrified of the human body and bodily functions.  All prudish and stuff.  So religious swears weren't as bad, but crude body swears like s, a, f, and stuff were the worst. 

    And in the right-now era, English-speakers don't want to be racist or bigoted or stuff like that; which is why c, n, b, and those ones are the ones that people will be shocked by.  Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is Tv PG and uses religious swears all over the place and the commenters on, say, Mark Watches don't even notice.  But there is one usage of b, and the commentators are really kinda "yeahhh, that's not an okay thing to say; even to a villainess who just killed off the guy you love and is trying to kill you".

    (anyways, do NOT go to Markwatches.  Place is full of viruses and stuff.)
    incidentally, "bitch" and "ass" are not censored on Law & Order, but "fuck" and "shit" are.

    though this is probably a reflection of existing rules and thus institutional inertia.
  • my sister in law triedto post one of those huffington post clickbait list articles on facebook but instead of linking just copied the entire thing into her status, including like, every bit of text on the website

    it was kind of adorable

    She struck me as being like one of those people who really cares about an issue and is entirely justified in their anger about it and about the way people look at the system, but hasn't reached the level of emotional maturity to appreciate that the feelings of those who are taken advantage of by the system might be more complicated than "oh woe is me." You see this a lot in how some teenagers approach social justice, particularly ones from a relatively sheltered background.

    Incidentally, Danaerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones is an even better example of that unwittingly condescending attitude, although she has other strengths and failings...

    I saw a twitter marxist who absolutely hated Harry Potter because of the SPEW thing.

    It's actually a nifty little bit of character writing; I don't get being upset with it unless you're wildly misinterpreting the point.

    There's a subset of Twitter Marxism that views "things I personally dislike" and "things that are PURE EVIL" as a perfect circle when venn diagrammed.

    That's what I was getting at, yeah. It mostly went over my head when I read the books as a kid, but in retrospect it reminds me strongly of teens on Tumblr who are well-intentioned but clueless about social justice causes.

    It seems weirdly prescient until you realise that there have always been people like that in great numbers, but it's been a while since they really had a cultural presence.

    I like dadrock unironically

    it is, after all, the truest rock

    Tumblr Maoists know that feel. That feel of not making it with anyone anyhow

    Tumblr is just the reincarnation of LiveJournal anyway, so...

    Then I will delete my blog because unironic fascists like it and I can't look at myself in the mirror anymore.

    That is, actually, probably a better summary of the post I mentioned than the one I gave.

    It's a horrible feeling.
  • generally in my experience fascists are just kinda stupid, disempowered people with a deep sense of longing for the past

    or being angry at anyone for an extended period of time

    Seriously someone should sit Tumblr down on their knee and talk to them about the #GulagsNow meme and Maoist propaganda because it's really weird.
  • it's not all it's cracked up to be

    actually now that i think about it i still hate fast eddie for insulting me via e-mail

    but like he's the lone exception

    kinda a lame exception
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    In retrospect, Fast Eddie straight up permabanning a dude because he was in a bad mood then refusing to explain it was a bad sign.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    January Jones gets such a massive amount of nerdhate that I kind of like her.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Same with Megan Fox. And George Lucas.
  • Pfft. Fast Eddie's the ideal ruler compared to some of the mods I've seen
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Megan Fox is weird-looking, kind of like how Angelina Jolie is weird-looking to me.

    Fast Eddie never ran a forum that had like, five different shitposting forums, each of which was immune to the rules and allowed to conduct rule-free raids on threads they didn't like.

    So there's that.

    I ascribe most of Eddie's poor administration to incompetence rather than malice

    Though I suppose the whole "pretending to be three people" thing would go against that
