you mean /r/beholdthemasterrace or what?
/r/JustNeckbeardThings is particularly nasty as of late. It was always pretty bad, lately half the posts are just fat-shaming incels based on screenshots of text from Twitter and how Reddit imagines their appearance. I let the polface stuff slide because god damn if that isn’t the face of suburbanite white male privilege, but immediately jumping to the conclusion that someone must be obese because they shared a misogynistic opinion on Twitter is some classic :reddit-logo: shit.
There are skinny neckbeards too, god damn it!
Yeah like the :le-pol-face: seems a bit childish to me because it’s literally just “you are ugly, therefore wrong”
I thought the Zenz emote was for like mocking anti-china stuff obviously written by him and not about how he looked?
I was legit pondering that emote a few days ago, like I get it, we all know guys like that but they should be dunked on for their opinions and politics not because they look like the Virgin Incel caricature
Edit: like that picture is of a dude, of a person, and I guess we think it’s okay
IIRC The original picture does come from someone who posted Nazi garbage on 4chan.
The original picture is of a mass shooter who gunned down several people at a Walmart
I hate to bring up the antiwork drama again and fuck that mod for being a sex pest, but before I heard about their wrong doing I was a bit excited to see someone who was trans, neurodivergent, not traditionally beautiful, and underemployed finally getting a say at something. For like a brief second I felt the least bit of representation. Then they started getting attacked for how they looked, for being trans, for not being an alpha chad roughneck oil worker, etc. and it became a shitshow.
See, the moment I saw they were trans I was like “oh no” because I knew that was going to be the thing they would latch on to. I honestly wonder if Fox News didn’t pick them for precisely that reason.
A guy being cringe is just a guy being cringe, but a trans person being cringe is because all trans people are cringe.
I honestly wonder if Fox News didn’t pick them for precisely that reason.
If they did it’s smart on their part. Who knows honestly.
She picked herself. Fox just sent a request asking to interview someone from /r/antiwork.
The interviewer wasn’t even cruel. He was oddly sympathetic. He just let her hang herself with her own rope. It was like watching a car crash in slow motion, the bodies jerk forward and slam into the dash.
A guy being cringe is just a guy being cringe, but a trans person being cringe is because all trans people are cringe.
That shit effects anyone who isn’t white and straight and is honestly one of the most obvious aspects of white and cishet privilege.
Around Christmas my cousin was talking about how they listen to various political talk radio shows to “get a broad understanding sniff” he talked about the right wing show, the ‘left’ wing show, and then He said “there’s a black political show” he listened to and that “the blacks were mad” about something and like fuckin lol, ok all black people feel this way bc some guy on satellite radio said something. :lmayo:
Your cousin sounds like this old friend of mine who I rarely catch up with anymore. He has caught the anti-woke brain worms. After getting called out for his narrow views (by a couple of his Exes) he expanded his purview by listening to “a Black podcast.” His choice? Bad Faith. He listened to the episode where a panel questioned Why White people liked the Beatles so much when they aren’t very good. He took it all very literally and responds to everything in a very debate bro, logic™ manner without seeing the larger conditions.
Yeah if she was a muscular white miner no one would’ve cared about “representation”. Hell they wouldn’t even care about they walking dogs for a living. Clearly shows what the sub thinks about who can have a voice.
BTW there’s a post pinned about wage inequality for trans people on r/antiwork steadily being downvoted as well.
https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/ It’s the second pinned post
the other day I said something about Bradley Cooper that I probably shouldn’t have, I already deleted it but I apologize
