That said, I'm considering switching to Deezer, but they do have some missing songs, which is unfortunate.
I think the intended idea was that she freezes mid-sentence in shock after fully comprehending what was said. Shrunken iris, mouth half open... I personally think the reaction makes sense.
This is how I handle pirating. I more or less treat pirating as a demo for the game. If I liked the game enough to finish it, 9/10 times I'm going to actually buy it unless I have some personal reason not to, like the dev being a pos I don't wish to support or something.
I enjoy doing this. I'm usually thinking about the book I'm reading, so, while it might take me twice as long to finish a book, I also got to experience much more of the book, even if it was just my imagination.
Of course, it's an absolute bitch when it's something I have to read within a certain time frame, like for school or something.
I didn't feel attacked though, at least not until right now where you're clearly accusing me of being a white supremacist?? Where do you get off doing that to somebody you've never even spoken to before?
When I say something stupid and have it pointed out to me that it's coming from a perspective of privilege, I realize my fault and try to do better. Believe it or not, nobody is perfect, and me not knowing literally every way I might have it better than somebody else doesn't suddenly make me believe white people are the superior race.
You can take a shot at answering that... or I could answer it for you if it makes it easier.
But thanks for the offer, you self righteous asshole. Fuck off.
What the hell is the even supposed to mean? By saying that a group of people I never even claimed to be a part of aren't necessarily white supremacists, I'm somehow feeling attacked? You know, if somebody were to say all Germans are as bad as Hitler, I would argue with them. That doesn't mean I personally felt attacked and thought I was being compared to Hitler. You do not need to feel personally attacked by something in order to defend it.
You know overt white supremacism?
Irrelevant. Overt, subtle, it doesn't matter. You're calling me, somebody you know nothing about, racist—and for that, you can kindly fuck right off.
You turning reactionary at the mere mention of the term white supremacism is pretty telling. Remember… at no point did I actually accuse you of anything.
I did not turn reactionary at the mere mention of the term. I turned reactionary at you heavily implying that I am one, you fucking ass. And no, the distinction between that and actually calling me one is irrelevant. But go ahead and play your little holier than thou act. I hope you're at least fooling yourself, because you're certainly not fooling anybody else.
You feel attacked because...
See above.
I’m going to take a wild guess here and bet that you always feel the need to “distance” yourself from the likes of Rittenhouse and his ilk, because you don’t want people to associate your whiteness with his.
Uh, no. It's telling that you're so obsessed with the color of my skin, but I actually don't give a fuck about this man or that we share a similar shade of skin. Maybe you should look at yourself in a mirror instead of projecting your racism onto others. If I wish to distance myself from him, it's due to his politics and shitty views, not because of his skin color. Just like I'd like to distance myself from Hitler or Stalin. Or you, for that matter. I'm sure you know what I think better than I do, though, so please, why don't you go ahead and tell me how wrong I am about my own thoughts on the matter? Maybe if you keep it up long enough, you'll finally wonder why it's getting hard to breathe and notice that you've got your own dick shoved 3 inches down your throat!
Riiight… you were just acting like a scalded cat for shits and giggles, eh?
You know, you keep saying this, but until you directly attacked my character, I was completely unmoved by your comment. I didn't give a shit about you and was just lightly disagreeing with you in my original comment. Maybe you should go back and re-read this full comment chain because I literally have zero fucking clue where you're getting this idea from. I'd like to see you point out, with the full context, where I acted defensive before you actually attacked me personally.
Ooooh… and that would be such a terrible thing, right?
Correct.
so it’s perfectly rational to pretend that this fundamentally white supremacist society couldn’t possibly have affected you, superheroic liberal that you are, in any possible way, right?
Did I say that? Are you actually obtuse or did you just miss the bit where I said this:
When I say something stupid and have it pointed out to me that it’s coming from a perspective of privilege, I realize my fault and try to do better. Believe it or not, nobody is perfect...
Anyway, maybe you should stop calling me racist just because I'm white. That is, quite literally, racist.
You are so incapable of detaching yourself from whiteness that you will literally view any mention of white supremacism’s roots in white, western liberalism as a personal attack…
Again, I do not give a shit about my skin color. I REPEAT, I DO NOT CARE ABOUT BEING WHITE. I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU THINK I DO. Seriously, for the love of god, pull your dick out of your mouth and take a deep breath. I think the lack of oxygen going to your brain is getting to you. And then maybe you can actually try listening to me. The thing that I took as an attack was you heavily implying that I'm racist. You know, an attack. Go ahead though, keep ignoring me when I tell you this. That dick ain't gonna suck itself.
But as usual when it comes to discussing women's issues, it leaves out a very important part, namely, the role women play when it comes to eliciting this sort of behavior in men.
Haha yeah, it's the stupid women's fault that they need to be afraid of men drugging or raping them. Holy victim blaming, Batman!
When a man is useful, they'll exploit him. When a man is neutral, they'll ignore him. When he is dangerous, they will court him.
Lol, I'm sorry, but did you just make a sweeping negative statement about women while trying to argue that sweeping negative statements are sexist?
The question wasn't would you rather share a cave with a man or a bear. No, you have an entire forest to avoid the bear in. Unless you're for some reason in a forest with a polar bear, the bear is going to leave you alone assuming you don't piss it off or threaten it. Being eaten alive (it would absolutely kill you first) is simply an avoidable threat. Predictability and avoidability is the key here.
Bear attacks are incredibly rare. Even brown/grizzly bears just want to be left alone, the only bear that actively hunts humans are polar bears. If you're attacked by a grizzly, it's because it thinks you're a threat, not food. Now, true, if you do piss off the bear, then you're probably fucked. So I'm not saying bears aren't dangerous, but that their level of danger can be predicted and avoided to at least an extent.
You can't really say that about people. Most men are good people and would help you, so on average they're safer. But unlike bears, you have to ask, "what if they're one of the bad ones?", especially so if you're alone in a forest with them without the punishment of society to deter them. I mean, 1 in 6 women in America have experienced either attempted or successful sexual violence, and again, that's in a society where they can actually get punished for it. So it's not exactly a statistical anomaly that the man you're stuck in a forest with is a bad actor.
But as usual when it comes to discussing women’s issues, it leaves out a very important part, namely, the role women play when it comes to eliciting this sort of behavior in men.
You can change the argument all you want, but let's not forget you actually said this. Literal victim blaming.
As far as the other half goes, I never said I don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Men have it rough in life too, I know, I'm one of them. That's why the only thing I mentioned was the hypocrisy of your statement.
