  • Most of the time, it feels like people are just saying “yall are just mad cause I’m right” but using different words because its often obvious why: an unpopular opinion or believed to be objectively false. These comments already have plenty of replies explaining why their comment is bad in some way. The only cases where there should be confusion about why is is if you are posting in a community that gets the same comments all the time and so its spam and you don’t know it, or you said something that is being misinterpreted but for whatever reason you are unable to tell why and you haven’t gotten any replies already (but for some reason are paying close attention to your internet points).









  • I’ve never seen the image before, but the “threat of violence” was obviously a joke comment like the rallying call to “elect Biden so we can force feminize the cissy men.” In case you didn’t know, that’s also a joke. Its very different from threats to take a vehicle (whether a truck or a steamroller) to a pride event and use it on people, for example.

    If you can’t understand context or jokes, maybe don’t make inflammatory remarks about an entire group of people based on one person’s comment with confidence without at least asking first. Nothing wrong with taking things too literally, but weaponizing your lack of understanding isn’t the answer. Of course a lot of people do make veiled threats (in minecraft) when they actually are encouraging violence, so we should be careful about language and surely there’s cases in the middle where it could go either way, in which case calling out the language without insinuating it was intentional or representative of a larger group could be appropriate unless there’s a clear pattern…



  • that racism means “the idea that there are races”.

    I think you would need to specify “the idea that there are biological races” for that to even remotely work and calling yourself white doesn’t imply you believe in biological races. Like someone saying they don’t worry as much about cops pulling them over because they’re a white (male driving a truck through rural Texas), for example, is talking about the social construct of race and how that influences their normal interactions compared to their darker skinned pears in a way that criticizes racism rather than reinforces it.


  • Assuming you can only press it once, shouldn’t it be $990,000?

    But also, it’s much more personal than that. Many people are willing to pay money to change their physical characteristics to be the opposite of what they were born with. Many with male bodies could just pretend to be men for free, but are willing to go though hardships to fix their body to match what’s on the inside.

    It could just as well said be a boy instead of girl and would still be about as hard of a question on average.
