More movies cancelled for transphobia. The Big Lebowski: "Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? Isn't that what makes a man?" The Dude: "Hmmm... Sure, that and a pair of testicles."

Damn. That's some luck. Women are crucified for that shit.

It's not luck, and show me ONE "crucified" woman who called out trans people. You mean somebody like JK Rowling? She is alive and well, not strung up or lynched. Most people roll over when confronted by an internet mob, or when confronted by antagonizers like u/Chipit. If you come across stupidity, or mindlessness, call it out for what it is, don't put your head down so you and your own can feel good and safe, and don't exaggerate. Try to use careful language that actually fits the situation.

You know what? My apologies for replying to the straight up comments line on s/all. I didn't read the full stream of context there about your complaint being with people exaggerating word use, and that was my mistake. A hilarious mistake, but still.

That said, JK has lots of money to defend her livelihood. The average person can't take a chance on having their ability to work revoked for sharing an unpopular opinion, not to mention being shamed out of social groups andpissing on any chances for networking. Personally, I don't take too many threats seriously over the internet, but people are rapidly getting ballsier about exactly what lengths they'll go to so that they can get their point across.

Rachel Ara, Vaishnavi Sundar, Meghan Murphy, Cassie Jaye. More than I can remember. Wow, you really don't see this, do you? That's what censorship does. It works. It keeps you from knowing just how awful cancel culture really is, and how many people get hurt by it. They (you) think you're on the side of the righteous, when in fact being against people being able to speak their minds pretty much screams "evil".

I've made many comments about my personal beliefs, Chipit. I want there to be a place for everybody, I don't support cancelling things or people. If twitter or Facebook or reddit does that, stop using them and boycott them. As it stands, I can go buy TBL and Harry Potter and may other "controversial" "cancelled" media and either buy it or take it in for free.

And I sure as hell don't support you. Please, put your socks up your butthole and have some safe sex with your boyfriend. I have no time for you.

What is with you people and your feeling that you can use homophobic insults whenever you want? What the hell? How do you violate your own values like that?

You are good at this, bravo.
