dawg do you think the cavemen just sat on their asses and did nothing to survive?

Do you think cavemen wouldn't hunt mammoth or gather berries unless they were paid to do so?

No, but I know that having to expend the effort to hunt the mammoth and gather the berries is still "Earning a living" because Nature is not going to fucking hand you what you need to live. And the modern world exists because we realized how much that sucks, trading money for goods and services is easier.

And it works great when the Government refuses to stick their dick into the equation and cause inflation to make everything unattainable.

Or when the government just does what happens every single Communist country ever and just hoards all the food for themselves. Which really paints such a stark picture that the fact you guys keep simping for an indeology that never. fucking. works. or does anything except murder its own citizens means you're all literally stupider than CAVEMEN.

How many Cavemen do you need before one starts getting jealous that Caveman Bahham isn't pulling their weight and starts suggesting maybe that clan doesn't get as much meat from the bone.

Like damn, There's a neighbor at the end of my street who hurt their leg can couldn't work for a while. Them trying to get a job has nightmareish from the sound of it.

What... I'm suppose to go bring food for him because he can't/doesn't work? Why?

Reds love to claim that cavemen supported injured and elderly members of the tribe instead of leaving them to die, therefore something, something, UBI.

They carefully ignore the part where a) that was entirely voluntary, and b) someone still had to do the work.

why is getting to punch women y’all’s standard for equality

Because it's direct, shows immediate effect, and is a current inequality many female abusers use to trap their mates.

don't know if you know this but feminists care about all domestic abuse.. not just women's.. it just happens to women more often doesn't mean it doesn't happen to men

I have heard many mixed reviews on that.

I have heard feminists say that they focus on Female victims, and that men can just open their own shelters.

I have heard feminists say that males cannot be victims because of power imbalances

It was feminists who routinely protest(ed) male abuse shelters and events talking about male problems like suicide or abuse.

Your words do not match the actions of feminism.

And also "it's direct", because it's not about punching women, it is about punching women BACK as in self defense and retaliation against an immediate female aggressor.

literally anyone: isn't it messed up that men can't defend themselves against violent women?

feminists, every time: yOu JuSt wAnT tO pUnCh wOmEn!!!

where did I say that women should be able to punch men, when did I say that

Omg people in this post are making me fucking sick, can y’all really not read? I’m most certain what she’s saying is as clear as day, and what you all (pretty sure y’all are all men but I might be wrong) are doing is clutching at straws and twisting the little words she’s used and ADDING WORDS SHE’S NEVER SAID?? Get a grip fuckers

And yet you have no problem with her first post implying everyone who talks about this is an abusive dude, or wants to be.

While she clearly didn't mention women abusing men, even by implication.

And you have no actual logical criticism.

Why exactly should people be charitable to someone who walked in to throw shade?

Open this in incognito.

"I don't have any actual counterargument or criticism, so I'll resort to personal attacks." - You

You do realize that "people will get fired and companies will go out of business if you raise minimum wage, because it will raise one of the biggest business costs" is a very common argument against it?

And saying the government should force people to do things is more bootlicking than saying it shouldn't?

Those are entirely rhetorical questions, of course.

why is getting to punch women y’all’s standard for equality

Why is yours being treated with privilege? Why should you get to hit people but not get hit back like everyone else? Why should women get to hit men back but men can't hit women back?

"politics of being a woman." There is not more politics to being a woman than there is to being a man. XD

literally when did I say that women should get to hit men

When you insulted people for insinuating that it should be ok for a man to punch a woman after she hit him first. Why else would you do that if you didn't think that?

I didn’t though?? get your reading comprehension checked lmao

Whatever you say

Equal rights, equal fights/Equal lefts. Don’t swing lest you’re down to get swung on.

why is getting to punch women your standard for gender equality

Why do you expect women to be able to assault men and be able to not face repercussions for their actions?

It’s an equality thing in the sense of “I am going to handle this situation based on the actions of the individual rather than said individual’s sex or gender”.

both should face repercussions, when did I say they didn’t? When did I say that was my idea of feminism? You made your point very clear buddy, I was just asking why (because it’s fucking stupid)

I love how you keep pretending you didn't imply silas was a violent man who wanted to hurt women, and so was anyone who agreed with him.

I checked a lot of the notes, and I don't think I saw a single point where you actually acknowledge the inequality that allegedly exists, that OP was about; women are socially permitted to hit men.

His standard is literally "treating violent women the same as men". That's equality.

Even if it makes you seethe.

Irony is, you came in here all passive aggressive, to throw metaphorical hands, then played the victim when it didn't go your way.

Which is very appropriate.

>both should face repercussions, when did I say they didn’t? When did I say that was my idea of feminism? You made your point very clear buddy, I was just asking why (because it’s fucking stupid)

"Face repercussions" is not the same as saying they should be treated equally.

And given that you are obviously upset by someone explicitly saying they should be treated equally, and attacked them personally instead of acknowledging their point, it stands to reason that you don't want them to be treated equally.

Which, I suppose, is why you didn't actually acknowledge Silas' second paragraph.

Plus, y'know, you were literally using sexist stereotypes.

I'm not sure why you're expecting charity.

The irony of using the npc wojack to defend big corporations not being lost on you is truly magnificent.

Corporations being greedy isn't anything new, but acting like covid lockdowns and the around the clock money printers didn't enable this is foolish.

corporations can change their own prices, and often do so in a straight up abusive fashion. But they cannot affect the rate of inflation, because inflation is a direct result of an increased number of dollars in circulation. It is directly controlled by the federal government, and no matter what they tell you about "fighting" inflation, the guy claiming to be doing everything he can to prevent is is the same guy who has his hand on the 'number go up' lever.

the word is hyperinflation and it's not a kink unless your kink is seeing prices rise astronomically

Unfortunately corps are just taking advantage of the inflation (i.e. shrinking products, raising prices even above the actual worth based on inflation).

I don't see why those couldn't be actual responses to the inflation, especially since "selling products for more than they're worth" is how you actually have a business.

So there's this web novel called Worm.

 It's about a dark and edgy world that's full of superpowered folks, and which is, therefore, about three steps away from dystopian collapse. Many places are already there.

The story is about a teenage bullying victim who gains powers, and uses them to become a very dangerous supervillain, despite her best efforts.

And anyone familiar with the RWBY fandom may have just gone "wait, this sounds familiar. Are there a lot of fics where a main character gets an alternate power set?"

Yes, yes there are.

In this fanfic I'm about to complain about, Taylor gets an already existing power that's already broken.

Canon has "Path to Victory", which is almost literally just an "I WIN" button. It tells "Contessa" what she needs to do to succeed at almost any goal she wants. She's a big blindspot for people who can see the future.

Anonymous asked:

One way to have "diverse" characters in you story without sounding preachy or woke is to avoid making the antogonist a strawman of whatever political faction you consider """"evil""""""

For example, if my character is a trans man, there is no way, the antagonist would be Mr. or Mrs. Transphobe.

That´ll be boring and predictable.

The absolute best way to do diversity (if you must) is to write a character first, then just make them black, trans, gay, or whatever. And yes, to have the antagonist be a character also that isn't just a stand in for homophobia or racism or whatever. Boring and predictable, like you said.

I remember after The Butler became a hit, Lee Daniels said he wanted his next movie to be an action film with a gay male protagonist. The way he described it made it sound like a straight forward, typical action movie, just with the main character having a male love interest instead of a female one. It never got made, as far as I know, but I think back on it from time to time and wonder if that could have been a "diverse" movie done right. Where the focus is on the plot and the characters and the action and the diversity stuff is just one facet of the character, instead of literally the entire character and the main focus of the movie. Sadly, these days, it's almost impossible to trust that anything with "diverse" characters isn't going to be filled with woke writing and the same diversity committee approved plot points we see in basically everything these days. One of the reasons I'm still mad that Netflix canceled Archive 81 is because it was a series with a black lead who was a fully realized character, and his race never came into the story at all. Yes, the rich white man ended up being the bad guy, but there was nothing racial about it. It was just a casting decision. That character could have been any race or either gender and the character would have been exactly the same. Same with the protagonist. To me, that's what writing should be. Unless the story is specifically about a certain race or gender (ie, you probably shouldn't write a race-neutral MLK biopic) then the race or gender of the characters shouldn't come into play within the story at all.

I was recently watching an LP of a game. There was a visual-novel style cutscene between missions, and one of the leads just happens to mention her ex-girlfriend in passing.

AFAIK, she was the only one in the game to that point who mentioned any romantic relationship. Felt like they were ticking a box.

Hang that F’ing judge in the street for sedition. Did she not swear to uphold the constitution and then blatantly exclaim itsdoesn’t exist?

Hang her!

Civil lawsuit, no need for violence, sue the judge personally for violating your civil rights, maybe the DA too, also sue the city but that's less important than having the judge be forced to write a cheque to you for a large chunk of money, that or have to do a payment plan to you for the next several years.

Win the civil suit an then seek to have the conviction tossed on the grounds that your rights were violated in the processes of getting that conviction.

And in the end, odds are, there's others who she's pulled this kind of thing with and she's going to owe them money too.

it’s so sad that radfem means radical feminist instead of meaning women in skin tight clothes that symbolize the start of modern diet culture!

It’s a pun a grade-schooler could get: “things the 1980s thought were cool”. I.e. “rad”.

Completely went over your head though, huh?

Even though all radfems are regularly horrible and sexist against women and men, the issue those geniuses have is when radfems are supposedly transphobic.

Interesting priorities.

Not to mention the hypocritical ignorance and bigotry of assuming all radfems are transphobic.

I'm also pretty sure harmful dieting for women has been around a lot longer than the 80s, and "exercising" is not the same as "dieting". I also doubt the person was talking about athletic-ishwear specifically.

But why am I not surprised a radfem spouted ahistorical nonsense that ignored what was right in front of them to score points, instead of making a remotely valid criticism?

Except for the fact that being transphobic is inherent to being a f/eminist.

A core part of f/eminist doctrine is hating men.

And yet there are loads of explicitly and visibly pro-trans feminists, and (less commonly) radfems.
