Polls: Society & Politics

The teleprompter is capable of speaking, but there is no guarantee the speech will be easily coherent, understood, or even in English.

The same way Japan is majority Japanese. The same way Mexico is majority Mexican. The same way even Korea is majority Korea. Why is there a lot of hate and resistance over maintaining a white majority in the United States? They deserve to have their own spaces as well.

My controversial take.

I actually kind of agree

Looking at our history such as slavery, holocaust, and seeing where the world is heading right now. I don’t think a purge is possible. Soon everyone is gonna homeless or in poverty and people are most dangerous when they have nothing to loose. Police n military might give up n let people kill eachother

The last time I ever the word “slut” being used consistently was way back in HS in the late 90s. I realize it might have been a zeitgeist a the time. However I do remember girls having their own set of negative labels for men like “creep” readily available back then too.

However ever since college I’ve noticed more and more women liberally using the word “creep” with no justification other than just getting a bad “feeling” from a guy. The even worse insult “pedo” is becoming more common too. Just today a woman on GAG suspected that her “virtual friend” might be a potential pedo/rapist just because the guy mentioned his stepdad abused his stepbrothers. She seriously thinks that pedophilia might be genetic.

Anyway I hear fewer and fewer men throw out gender specific insults to women nowadays. Especially if they unprovoked. Men know women usually get most upset when they are unfairly labeled promiscuous. Feminists have gone one/way ape shit when men (and other women) used this insult. I think it’s working because I’ve noticed fewer and fewer female specific insults like “slut, whore and cunt” being consistently used nowadays

However I do hear women call men (and even call other women) nasty insults like “creep” or worse “pedo” with no proof other than a “feeling” they have.

It also seems that when men are unfairly labeled something they almost zero recourse. If they get angry they just look more guilty or something.

Even when one of the worst of the worst insults like “pedo” used more often against me nowadays against men and there is a double standard attitude about it. Like the man is somehow justifiably labeled that due to “a feeling” a woman has (different story if there is solid proof). Like her feeling in itself justifies and vindicates whatever “feeling” she has as absolute truth or some insanity.

Is it just me observing this societal trend?

Here's an article of a POS waste of oxygen so-called "mother" who shot and killed her own kid and showed absolutely no remorse in court. I've seen a few people on the comments coming up with excuses for her l

There's a new trend brewing... modifying traditional literature to be more politically correct.

Several of the most iconic characters in children’s literature, including Augustus Gloop, the Oompa Loompas, and Mrs. Twit, are being described with more inclusive language after publishers made edits to some of author Roald Dahl’s books.

Puffin, the prestigious children’s publisher, and the Roald Dahl Story Company, which Netflix acquired in 2021, worked with sensitivity readers to review Dahl’s texts and give them an update so his stories “can continue to be enjoyed by all today.” The edits generally focus on removing potentially offensive language related to gender, race, weight, mental health, and violence, according to the Independent.

Some of those changes:

* Augustus Gloop from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is now “enormous” and not “fat.”
* In a gender-neutral revision, the Oompa Loompas in that same book are now described as “small people” rather than “small men.”
* In The Witches, where 59 changes were reportedly made by publishers, a line was added to a paragraph that explains why the witches are bald underneath their wigs: “There are plenty of other reasons why women might wear wigs and there is certainly nothing wrong with that.”

These changes sparked a firestorm. Critics unloaded on the edits, accusing them of being clumsy, erasing the author’s intended meaning, and representing political correctness run amok. Acclaimed writer Salman Rushdie tweeted, “Roald Dahl was no angel but this is absurd censorship.”

What do you think? Should literature be updated or left in its original form?

It’s something we made up in order to justify slavery but it really is more of a social construct and we also only classify as white, black or Asian as human races and call everyone else not a human race. In order to explain more on how silly this is… imagine this hypothetical…

If the world was entirely white, we would have called blonde haired people a different race or made distinctions between ourselves based on eye color or some other random human characteristic. We would probably have enslaved brown or blue or green eyed people or something like that.
The green eyed people would hate the blue eyed ones.
Now apply this to skin color. See how silly that is?

Like make it provable. Then we can vote on how to deal with it.

My country Spain is making it a thing.

I think it’s ridiculous. They’ll probably get paid for it which is crazy. One of many reasons why women are superior in western society.
