The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[Caomhaoin]

Sure what isn't child abuse about choosing to raise a kid in the US? Are you really American if you've not been thoroughly brainwashed one way or the other as a kid?

It's debatable but this shit is indefensible. It's not even about the never ending gay shit, children should be shielded from being sexualised, certainly not being dragged by their parents to clap like drones at things they have no concept of or capacity to understand. 10 years ago, that was nigh on a universal truth.

So when a kid asks what the "it ain't going to lick itself" sign in the back means, do you explain or show them, asking for a friend?

[astfgyl]

Ah it's not the gay or straight element to it at all really, it is just the early sexualisation part that's weird. I mean you wouldn't watch porn with the kids, especially after seeing what happened to Pat Shortt in Garage, but especially not at all anyway

Some interesting stuff in this. Sabine Hossenfelder normally does physics videos, but she knows her way around scientific results which is what matters here:

Look it if someone wants to live their life as a different sex than they were born then that's their thing. It's not terribly convincing to the casual observer but sure let em off. It's a fad anyway and will go the way of other fads once no-one is offended by it.

Solved the sports issue too while writing this. Have the men's, women's and trans categories and problem solved. The fun part will be when the folks in the trans category start saying it's unfair competing against the opposite sex but, yknow, fuck em and all that.

Video is worth watching. All that is discussed, including advantages and disadvantages of your proposed solution.

I watched a bit of that, but I just found it really distracting how her top and bottom teeth barely seperate when she's talking

Tedros focusing on the real problems, just like he always does.

😂😂😂😂 So dumb.

I seen that some singer called 'Lizzo' decided to change a lyric in her song because 'spazz' is an 'ableist' slur. I can't keep up.

Too many people laughing at monkeypox, way too meme-able. It needs a better name for both headlines of terror and potential vaccine sales. "Smallpox Lite" maybe or why not something like "the gays disease" to really push the shits up people? (I'll get my coat, sorry lads)

On a more serious note, I was reading that all bar one of the UK cases are gay men but that's not in the headlines much for some reason. I did see one thing, I think from the NHS, that people most at risk are "gay men, bisexuals and men who have sex with men".  Outside of the Miami Mega Jail, I'd have thought the third cohort would be covered between the first two or have I fallen even farther behind the times?

Also if it turns out to be very bad there'll be a fair bit of the boy who cried wolf after covid and the "no-one is safe until everyone is safe" lark.

Perfect time for a Spazztic Blurr reunion, then.

Here's one that I reckon is both unnecessary taking of offence and surely a bit of divilment at the same time. The reason I call divilment is because no way is anything like that done these days without some cunt googling it first.

And at the heart of it all, I honestly think it's advertising at its absolute (best or worst) and I wonder how much of the whole offended culture stems from exactly that. It's worse to not be talked about etc and there's fantastic money on offer.

Once you see it, yeah?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

who fucking cares

[astfgyl]

Nobody cares, the point was that I think the pretend offence is simply an advertising tactic and that hadn't really dawned on me until yesterday. I wonder how much of the outrage in general is also that.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

In either case, the best defense is to ignore as much of it as possible, from both sides.
