Slash
Sorry to burst your bubble, but never once was I "angry." That post was very sarcastic. I was making light of how intensely people focus on SJW crusades.
It's quite ironic that you would even say that, considering the last few pages has been one gigantic exercise in throwing frothing at the mouth liberal spittle in my direction.
You expect me to apologize? Um, no. I have nothing to apologize for. I am apologizing to myself for having attempted to highlight the dangers of censorship and language policing. What a waste of effort.
Emmych
Why do I not respond to you? Because you're almost always the first person to resort to shaming, finger-pointing, and bullying. I am most certainly not alone in this opinion.
Also, don't make references to jerking off. It's vulgar. One would think you'd avoid vulgarities given your world view.

Sexuality and gender are entirely separate things. You can be straight and trans, you can be queer and cis. You can be trans and queer. These are different things, and people assuming they're the same thing has surprisingly harmful results (aka assuming trans women who like men are just gay men that dress in drag, or that trans women who like women are just straight guys putting on dresses to prey on queer women, etc. etc. etc. you may notice a pattern in that it is usually trans women who are the target of horrible stereotypes and harmful assumptions).
If humanity put this much deep, nuanced study and focus on something like inventing cold fusion, or interstellar travel, we'd be in pretty good shape.

What's hilarious about this is that no one has expressed being any sort of homophobic, or transphobic.
Yet, still, the battle rages on.
Why? In the words of the great Nelson Muntz,
Gotta nuke somethin'.

author=Solitayreauthor=harmonicSo would you be willing to concede, then, that people who disagree with you aren't necessarily all just overly-sensitive authoritarians looking to impress their opinions on you or SJW thrill seekers in search of the next great moral outrage?
Yes, everyone who disagrees with you must certainly disagree with you because they're dumb.
Of course, I have no problem conceding that. By the way, you put "all of the people who are the bane of all things good" into words very nicely.
Since we go back a ways I know you are not some frothing at the mouth victim jockey. But really, that is how the outrage mafia comes off anymore, especially when these things happen.

sorry, kentona; under my heavily-censored communist regime all cis people will be sent to work in the gender mines
In the interest of jocularity and good vibes, I have to admit that I lost my shit when I read "gender mines."

It's pretty ridiculous to act like you're being oppressed somehow when you barge into a thread (seemingly ignorant of the actual discussion, based on your first post) and claim you're being oppressed because you're asked not to be disrespectful.
It's on full display here.
-Use of the word "Barge" as though I don't belong here, or have malicious intent by posting, check.
-Attempt to reframe me as a hypocritical villain by saying that I'm "claiming to be oppressed", check.
-Attempt to make my arguments sound small and petty by claiming I am speaking about my own personal oppression (rather than society at large), check.
-Reframe my actions into deliberately "being disrespectful", check.
-Playing on society' acceptance that straight white cismales are the oppressor class by painting any objection to that narrative as ridiculous, check. It's a lazy, easy way of getting online brownie points by saying "LOL WHITE GUYS"
If I had actually called someone "tranny", that'd be one thing. But the word was literally part of a list of what "someone" might say. You keep using that word context, but I'm not sure you know what it means.
I don't claim to be personally oppressed. I'm speaking about society at large. But, you knew that already. See above for why you said that.
It also fits the narrative that you completely ignore the massive derail that Slash's focus on that word caused. He ignored my entire post because "tranny" is now supposedly a taboo word, akin to n-word or something. And then you made a statement about how transsexuals can be murdered, which implies that I basically don't care if transsexuals are murdered. It's seriously on full display here for anyone to see. Basically a Fox/CNN/MSNBC-style hit piece. You should give me dark, brooding theme music for whenever I post to complete the theme.

Authoritarianism vs Libertarianism
Since you will probably be rebuffed by our local authoritarians, let me pitch in here.
It is authoritarian to censor, shame, and blame. To divide based on demographic group, to turn them against one another. It is authoritarian to try and grab power, if even on a tiny scale (like an online forum) by hiding behind the victims one claims to defend. It is authoritarian to claim automatic moral high ground based on something arbitrary, such as what has been deemed acceptable words.
Why do authoritarians act this way? There is great value in having righteous indignation. It scores them online brownie points. It allows them to assure their own world views. It boosts their egos. Folks with superiority complexes search for opportunities to be righteously indignant. Folks with inferiority complexes search for opportunities to paint themselves victims and show how unfair the world is to them.
It's all a big dance, really. SJWs go crazy about the word "tranny" but only because enough of society recently decided it's a bad word. 5 years ago, no one would have cared, and thus, said SJW would not have cared. It's about what's trendy to care about. The never-ending search for victims to exploit. 2 weeks ago, it was a lion. In about 2 more weeks, there will be another "worst thing ever."

You're upset that it's okay for white people to be made fun of.
Transgender people are upset that they can be murdered for being transgender.
That's the difference.
Do I really need to take the 5 seconds it would take to google the multiple, numerous hate crimes (including murders) against whites?
Hate crimes happen to every single demographic. Jeeze louise, the selective ignorance is stunning.
