My ghetto-rasied white sister-in-law that loves Motown & has worn cornrows, would quite literally beat her into a pulp for saying something this stupid within her reach.
And yes mouthy bigots deserve their ass beat, but go ahead & show the rest of us how you are so "progressive" that you stand up for the absolute worse of humanity.
Seems like a perfectly rational response.
Eye for an eye
I was being sarcastic; its fucking mental to brag about how easily your sister resorts to violence.
You dont think there might be some hyperbole in that claim?
Would that really make it less mental?
Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech.
Yes, It would be less mental because I am suggesting that the person doesn't necessarily mean it literally. You see sometime people say things that isn't true for dramatic effect.
Happily we no longer need to wonder as op confirmed this was not hyperbole.
An interesting thing to post to someone who declared they were being sarcastic. You know, when I said aomething that wasn't true for dramatic effect?
Maybe she needs therapy (and no I'm not defending Rowling, she is trash)
Edit: downvoting therapy, upvoting violence. You people would make your parents proud.
I hate to be honest but JKR’s words turn into literal violence for trans people soooo congrats on how high your horse is
Quite ironic way to end a "I'm more woke than thou" comment
Okay!
By woke you mean "has basic empathy"
That totally that
Or is it politics when one has empathy for trans people?
You have no idea what I meant or what I believe and I have zero desire to explain anything to you since you assumed a bunch bullshit. Bye, jerk.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out sweetie :3
Ignorant AND trite! Shocking!
In the time it took to check your replies and reply back despite saying "bye" you probably could've just explained yourself if you had any reasonable explanation but alas I'm sure you have good reasons for dying on this hill us wokeratis just couldn't possibly fathom
Anything to have an enemy. No one gives a shit
No one gives a shit about what? Have an enemy? What enemy? What? Did you hit your head too hard or smth
Maybe, but I doubt it would really do anything for her. She's actually not a bad person, but her upbringing means she's not the least bit concerned about going to jail after whipping a bad person's ass.
Yeah I am not saying anger issues make someone "bad" I'm just suggesting they can be dealt with better ways than brutalizing another humam
Rights have never been gained through peaceful protest. There has always had to be enough blood spilled to scare the ever living shit out of those in power for us to gain anything at all.
🆗
You tell 'em, best friend.
which us is your current us ?
Workers
If it's a fucking bigot, who cares?
There is a reason that millennia of philosophers have been against violence. Same reason people oppose the death penalty. Boils mostly down to: "what if you're wrong?"
You dont respect my existence, you can expect my resistance.

Seriously why do people describe themselves as awful people then think it'll convince me they're rational people with an opinion worth listening to?
