Certainly the cards we’re dealt are, apparently anyway, largely a matter of luck. But knowing how the game works can very significantly improve them.(The slogan of the games, chanted by game officials, is “May the odds be ever in your favor.â€) If the odds aren’t in your favor in this world, hunger, malnourishment, poor working conditions, or death are part of your story.

If she can't manage to be an oppressive ass--and clearly she can't--then she shouldn't be a mod. Period, end of.
This is not the first oppressive fuck up Saint Mai has made. Saint Mai was all for putting Matt Fucking Dillahunty above the rules because he's her FRIEND. Saint Mai was all for allowing her FRIEND Mr Samsa to be an abuse apologist and for demanding that oppressed people prove to her that abuse is really abuse.
AND SHE IS SORRY I FEEL THAT WAY.

You have allowed a woman to continually, intentionally trigger people because she can't be assed to examine her own prejudices and behaviors. Oh because I make her feel bad so she had me killfiled, so she doesn't see "Yeah don't do that". HOW. FUCKING. CONVENIENT.

I expect an explanation. Because this is FUCKING bullshit and clearly you don't understand social justice. Good job on the "safe space". You keep using those words. They don't mean what you think they mean.

those who cry wolf have no empathy for the truly victimisedacathode wrote:It's pretty disgusting seeing how much of the creationists tactics Myers and the rest are prepared to borrow. Obviously, the dirty tactics handbook has and is used by all politicians and ideologues, and only contains a limited number of old and tried tactics, but still, you'd think that the audience would recognize the tactics they've been trained, over and over again, to spot when creationists use them.
The whole "feminism is just believing women are humans too" is just the old creationists "being Christian just means being a moral person!" re-branded. It's just dishonestly reducing your position down to such a banal and obvious position that no one decent and good could be against you, ergo, everyone who isn't on your side is evil scum.
(sorry, I'm aware that the creationist example isn't usually how they phrase it, but I can't remember the exact phrasing atm, the result is the same, they equate being Christian to being moral, ergo anyone not Christian is also not moral).
The thing with misogyny losing it's current meaning is that eventually, a big portion of the population will have gotten used to everything being "misogynistic", and they stop caring about actual misogyny. After they've gotten accused 1000s of times, over the time of a decade, for being misogynists for simply disagreeing with gender feminism, the next time someone comes shouting "Saudi Arabia is full of misogyny!", the response will be "ROFL MISOGYNY!!!!111 Call the whambulance!!!".DownThunder wrote:It does often work, but only part of the time. The other result that they did not factor in is the opposite effect - the word misogyny loses its impact.
It's pretty extreme, but it's more or less how things have turned out here in Sweden, after the word "racist" has lost most of it's original meaning due media applying it to anyone who dares have an opinion about immigration that is not "everyone should be allowed to come here!". Not only does the word lose it's original shocking meaning, but people also seem to be more susceptible to becoming real racists after the stigma is washed out, suddenly having no trouble whatsoever using the N-word and similar slurs. After all, what's the worst thing you can do? Call them racist? That's about as scary as being called misogynist by PZ...

Mostly it demonstrates how the whiny victim narrative is so important to these people that there's nothing, absolutely nothing, so minor that it can't be used as the condensation nuclei for a good old dogpiling bitch-fest.
And all of this starts with little old Amy Roth who thinks the spirit behind Creative Commons was designed to make her cry.
Look kids: When you toss something out there in the market of ideas, whether it's a blog post, an article or an image, you've opened yourself up for Fair Use for comment, criticism, even parody. If you've put something out there and someone points to it as something you've done, you have no right, none at all, to reel it back in. The marketplace of ideas isn't your personal yard sale.
