Yes fantasising about eating people is so pleasant. He/she is a fucking rocket.
"I want to eat people and send people who disagree with me and A+ to detention camps to be violently abused."

She sure sounds like a total sweetheart.

I really, really hate long conversations on Twitter. Shit wasn't designed for it. She should just get over it and start posting here, so we can have a direct conversation without a 140 character limit.

Ophelia? What do you say?
Sorry - I don't see that happening. Having actual people actually disagree with her and making perfect sense? Ain't happenin' in her world.

Apparently now privilege goes beyond being cis white male, even among the ones who call themselves "underprivileged" there are levels and those on higher levels need to check their privilege :shock:
True underprivilege is judged not on your circumstances but the shade of a brother or sister's blackness.

I always thought it was a referral to a "pussy cat", like being as a coward as a little cat.

Feelia. Don't say shit on the net if you don't want it thrown back at you. Cunt.
The funny thing is that she knows full well people here know about that "pricks" comment, and has (lamely) defended herself against it before. She knows she's talking to Pit-friendly Al. And yet she STILL says "I never use prick or dick". What a fucking dolt.
Isn't she perfectly ok with "don't be a dick"?

She lives in virtual isolation to the outside world and is only stalked because of what she is. Those doing so should really leave her alone. Interesting how most of them do after a while. Makes you wonder who is really the hard one there , , but regardless, they should know better. She is actually rather pleasant when not being subject to abuse, as indeed we all are , ,
A pleasant person who thinks people should be sent to labor camps and have their skulls kicked in by police, for using their free speech? Sounds like a real charmer... but I guess Himmler thought Göring was a all around pleasant guy to? Hey, at least s/h/it won't use sexist slurs!

Funny though, I never did realize that A+ was supposed to be a safe space for fascists? Looking at the mod action in that thread, ie. banning everyone who spoke out against the concentration camps idea, I guess your A+ ideology is starting to come together?

(sorry for Godwinning this to hell, but someone that think a person who's advocating sending people to labor camps is a pleasant person just begs for it)

You might be right, I'm not a native English speaker, but I'd say that at least a pretty convincing case could be made around "pussy" being sexist. Cunt on the other hand, no, it's not different from cock or asshole, I've yet to even see the resemblance of a case explaining why it's sexist. It's just it "refers to FEMALE genitalia! SEXISM!!!!".

acathode wrote: "Cunt" doesn't have that component, it's not bad because there's any implication of special female bad qualities. It falls into the category of slurs that are bad because they refer to disgusting things. Being a cunt is bad not because cunts are attached to females, but because a cunt is a smelly, slimy thing that piss comes out of. Almost the same qualities that make "asshole" a slur, and being a "cock" or a "dick" is no better than being a cunt. Which it would be, if there was any sort of sexism involved.
There's seldom much logic to the meanings of these things. In times past 'cock', 'cunt', 'piss', and 'shit' were everyday words. Everyone used them without a blush. While to say 'God-dam' was so extreme that Joan of Arc used it as a nickname for English soldiers to emphasise how foul they were.

My theory on 'cunt' is that it's simply pretty much the nastiest sounding mono-syllable in English. You have three hard consonants and the most guttural vowel. A hard C to kick it off and a T that's nearly a spit. It's hard to find a word that sounds as nasty in English, try.

So ironic that she even uses the whole "dictionary definition" thing. I believe this came before the A+ rebels ascended to the throne of an unoccupied messageboard in a coup d'etat against the patriarchy, but from 9:15 to 9:47 there's some ridiculous hypocrisy given the way the SJW throw around accusations based on the language people use. Obviously there's not actually anything wrong with her labeling people as "dicks", but given the new rules they're writing I guess she's out of the club.

Heh, that "Justice is the correct word" almost sounds like a terrorist group in the making.

Luckily, they seem to be too lazy to actually do something:
Voting is over for The Big Atheism+ Thing, and we have our project. From the original thread;

Atheism+ Emergency Support Project: A freecycle-esque project to give support to those who need it. We would do things like give information to people who are in emergency situations- for example, connecting someone in an abusive situation with information on a local shelter- or connecting people in need of goods with others who have things to spare.
So their project to end social injustice is and privilege and oppression and shit is ... to do what Google already does?

Some posts later they realize that the people who need the information might not have internet access ("check your privilege" would really
really apply here)
We could set up a phone hotline, where people who need resources could call in and be connected to someone who can search the internet/our databases for them, and have those in local Atheist groups get the word out about the hotline via flyers and whatnot in their local meatspace.
So someone else handles the phones, and someone else gives away flyers. They just ... create the database. Again, have this people heard of Google?

And in the end we have this
by rriverstone
Ever think of asking people what they need, instead of deciding for them? I need micro loans, so I can move some place safe & sell @ flea mkt. to raise funds. I need shelter for a few months, really cheap, with work exchange so I can save for util deposits, etc. I need physical help to relocate.
This guy is like, gimme, gimme, gimme. Microloans, cheap shelter, work exchange, help, etcetera. This guys are not social justice warriors, they come more as lazy fuckers who want everything given to them for free because they are sooo opppressed.

RRiverstone makes me mad. First he goes all snarky because they are "deciding for him" and then he demands a whole lot of stuff like they are obligated to give it to him. If that's the mindset of the social justice warriors, I hope they stay in their forum forever.

Even the pit has its language limits, you filthy cunt. How will I ever get my mind clean again after that dropping of the L-bomb?

In Spanish we have a lot of gendered words (amigo means male friend and amiga means female friend), and the only thing that does is giving us an idea of the gender of the person referred.

English has less words like that, but it does have them, like Emperor and Empress. Is Empress a sexist word because it's only used to describe women?
So the Thinkpol believe. English had (has) more gender-specific terms. A female Editor is an Editrix. A female Brewer is a Brewster. A male who does simple sewing (not as skilled as a Tailor) would be a Seamster as a woman would be a Seamstress. These words have been fading out over time as they've become mechanised and impersonal. When you never see the person who brews your beer or sews your clothes, or the machine they operate, what does it matter?

But some people want to actively remove them. In the past few years I've noticed, anyone who acts is an Actor. I've even heard BBC journalists say "female actor" rather than Actress. That kind of silliness does annoy me a bit, but it can't be helped

Being part of the police force decreases your privilege?

I got a +75, although I had to borrow the United States privilege since South America is not in the list. Seeing that the UK and Germany rate as "Meh", I think I would lose a lot of points by living in Latin America.

That also got me thinking, being a Latino means -50 points, but since I live in Latin America, I should actually be privileged because most people are Latinos as well. But if I went to another country, like the US or the UK, I would then become an underprivileged member of a minority.

:think:

But that would mean that privilege is .... relative? Dependent on circumstances and not only on the characteristics of the person? mutable?

I better stop now before the MInistry of Truth comes to take me to the reeducation camps for questioning the dogma.

Obviously!
Cops are forced to check on the bogus complaints of elevator-rape by their Patriarchal Overlords.

Well, then -100 points for you for doing it on a Saturday morning/afternoon whatever.
