Do you see any merit to the pushback against such media?
You sound like you favor rationalism, and I agree with dismissing people who are crazy, but setting crazy people aside, do you see potential harm in promoting negative racial and ethnic stereotypes?
Stereotypes exist for a reason. They aren't made up, non-existent characteristics. 90% of people that are getting offended by such things are not even part of the group that's being stereotyped. It's usually white liberals that are "offended" by any of this. Are they beneficial? probably not, but they sure are not nearly as harmful as people like you make them out to be. As a straight white man, I'm vilified by the mob regardless of my positions on anything, and that in itself is a stereotype. So I don't put any stock into hypocritical perceived slights against humanity.
Got it, so you have a major victim complex and don't really have a rational argument for the rest. Thank you for at least being clear
Thank you for proving my point.
You rationalized deserving vilification, and whinged about what a victim you are. You can't think this conversation is in your favor.
Went silent real fast eh?
sorry my life doesn't revolve around your internet drama. got real shit to deal with. like work. and life. idgaf what you think about me of what point you think you're making. have fun with what little "power" you think you have here. i couldn't care less about this.
Who the hell doesn't?
You're the one out online here spewing your opinion that what other people care about isn't important.
Once again you reveal yourself a hypocrite
how is it hypocritical? idgaf what you think, just like you likely don't gaf what I think. you're just out to call people names behind the safety of a keyboard and screen.
Lmao you dingus
