hyphenThe premise of the OP would've been stronger if you left out the part about "no one can give good examples"
You think 'anti-wokeness' is corny, fair enough. You can just stand on that, without pretending there aren't examples where people are gonna obviously think s*** went too far, like this Roald Dahl example here
Cause when people give you examples like this (this Roald Dahl one is a great example of a ridiculous over-correction), and you just ignore it or eurostep it, or make up a reason why this or that example doesn't count, makes the argument look weak
A more consistent argument would be to just acknowledge an example like this and say, "this is a good thing! why do you WANT to offend someone by suggesting a woman might work as a cashier instead of a top scientist!"
Feb 25, 2023Dedication 666I said it's corny when people are like that and can't give good examples lol I didn't say nobody can ever give any just that the ones who can't are corny...words got twisted I'm afraid
Feb 25, 2023mentalcase420Exactly lol it almost always boils down to s*** like that being what they're really upset about and then u just can't help but look at them funny going forward
Nobody's throwing you in jail over those viewpoints but doesn't mean they gotta keep associating with you either personally or professionally
Yeah but it's so much easier to throw a f***ing tantrum about censorship and how you can't say anything anymore 🙄 meanwhile people actually get rights taken away from them but I guess it's a way bigger issue that 50 year old white people can't say the racist slurs they used to say in their youth anymore
Feb 25, 2023Q3DCrazy how freedom of speech has been twisted into this weird thing where its just about being able to be a bigot without consequence
freedom of speech isn't meant to be a tool for oppressorsthis exactly
i personally think people have gotten soft, but whatever
if it means i can’t tell a joke or two because it genuinely offends someone on a deeper level, i’m fine with that
i hate when niggas pull this card just to get their racist jokes off
Feb 25, 2023·2 repliesQ3DThat's such a weird and extreme exemple
i've been seeing more and more of this in the oddest of ways.
I'm somebody who considers himself left leaning but I hate when write people off as mfs wanting to be offensive when there's a bunch of weird discourse about s***.
Like when the trans teenger Brianna Ghey got murdered it felt weird to me that people were debating over the #SayHerName hashtag when her body wasn't even cold.
some of the discussion just feels useless

As a black person I feel like I should be able to voice when I feel like I'm being pandered too or when people's "progressiveness" just feels like the end result of somebody trying to get with the times and not coming from a genuine place.
It shouldn't be a problem to question that lol

Yah people have a tendency to get lost in discourse unfortunately, even though I'm sure it stemmed from a good sentiment at first

Very sad exemple too that unfortunately shows people get murdered while others cry about not being able to say they want these same people dead

I understand the too sensitive argument to an extent because there are situations where that applies for sure...I still feel it's best to try to still be sensitive to their situation though vs insulting or making fun of them and do my best to treat people how I'd like to be treated which is what I feel more people should do instead of going in defensive mode when someone doesn't like their comments or actions...obviously there's situations where you have to be an a****** sometimes but that's not what this is about

To be completely honest I don't understand what the big deal is about those Dahl quotes lol seems like those are pretty silly changes to get upset about or even draw awareness to
a ton of “minor changes” can add up to a massive shift in reality

freedom of speech isn't meant to be a tool for oppressorsi think the problem is that ‘freedom of speech’ is a bit of a misnomer. really any limit at all on being able to say whatever you want (including hate speech) isnt true freedom of speech if we wanna be true to its definition lol
its probably cause saying you were anti freedom of speech was seen as dirty historically, which is why we’re left with this weird half definition of it

Freedom was never about complete freedom of doing litteraly whatever... Obviously there are limits, you can't just kill people in the streets, and while its a bit of a silly comparison the same limits apply to freedom of speech

In a lot of countries you can't just publicly be racist, homophobic, etc. Like there are actual laws that say youre not allowed to do it, obviously they rarely ever do anythijg but it's still something

I didn't know the context beforehand and honestly was not familiar with the story at all...I just looked at the comparison quotes and it didn't seem to me that it was a big enough difference to make a big deal about but also didn't think the original text was anything that offensive either...after getting context I land on the side of not censoring pieces of work even if it had been something I personally didn't agree with

And some of the changes make really no sense at all like "tiny" being removed when talking about a "tiny drum" like who's even getting offended by a drum being described as tiny
