Oh no, you have called all of us NPC. Oh, the humanity!!! Please grow up - to think you are smart by keeping calling everyone a certain generic label is actually very childish and does not contribute in any way to your arguments. Remember every time you label a person NPC without dealing with the merits of the case - you know you have either lost the argument or acting on a child level - one of those 2. Try again.

No, I haven't called all of you an NPC. The meme has a specific context sensitive use. I suggest you learn that context so that you may appreciate that message.

And please point out a single instance where I used the NPC meme without dealing with the merits of the case. :)

The question is ridiculous and dishonest. Applying coloured paint to your body does not have a racial connotation, except when you're trying to make yourself look like a race.

I am really curious about this.

Can I demand that men may not dress up as women because it is sexist and enforcing the patriarchy?

Should a man lose his job because he thinks it's a non-issue?

Of course they can, but they must realise that if that opinion is considered unacceptable to sponsors then there may be consequences - if you think freedom of speech has no consequences try calling your boss an a***hole..

Yes, but sane people consider the action within the context of the intent behind the action.

If you call your boss an *******, but his surprise causes him to jerk in a funny direction that ends up saving his life, and he knows you saw the danger before you swore at him, he's probably not gonna fire you if he has a brain.

Yeah tell that to the trove of lawyers who have become millionaires from libel suites.

Let's do exactly that.

And at the same time, perhaps you can elucidate how libel laws work in the US with respect to intent. :sneaky:

If anything in this thread is predictable, it's how often people on the right resort to that lazy label.

Don't resort the lazy behaviour that makes one an NPC and you won't be faced with the lazy behaviour that allows one to effortlessly deal with an NPC. :unsure:

You're being deliberately obtuse, just like Pitbull and frankly just like Megyn Kelly. Either discuss the points honestly or don't waste my time with irrelevancies.

Women were excluded from society to the point where they were not even allowed to step onto the stage. Women were made fun of in such entertainment, and were not portrayed in a very good light. This is the exact same issue with the faux outrage behind blackface.

I am seriously considering writing in an opinion piece and starting a social media outrage movement about this. There is a valid cause (insomuch as it relates to blackface) and I am sure many, many people will jump on this bandwagon.

cerebus chose to ignore my quote of him saying we should apply intent to such issues. Yet, now, he does not care and intent is irrelevant? :unsure:

What is ironic, is that he was defending the racist Sarah Jeong at the time. I guess intent applies to intersectionality as well?

You suggest we debate these issues. So now you don't want to debate?

And, I agree. It's ****ing absurd. But, we are doing this. And I think this absurdity needs to go a full 360 to expose it for what it is.

Oh, I know his MO very well. Like I said, if you go back to the Damore thread where you first put me on ignore, you'll see that your posts were inadvertantly running interferance for his BS. And by that point I had been incensed by his SJW thinking for weeks.
