I can't wait until google images reveals a dirty carpet or spilled beer fetish.
A lot of these Hollywood films are trailers for the movie you’re living in.
I genuinely get annoyed whenever people talk about women or LGBT or another protected group, then the commenter in question recites the preemptive classic “To be clear, I don’t hate- [insert group]” as a defense mechanism.
That’s really indicative as to how hostile, how toxic the culture is or just reeks of a horrible atmosphere.
We live in a world where certain groups are associated with being oppressed when ironically they have the tightest grip on everyone’s ball-sack (in a corporate/political sense).
A privilege so normalized we don’t even see the irony that people have to put up defenses before saying ANYTHING just to curb a groups wrath, but if a Gov. does the exact same thing that’s called “oppression”, a protected group enjoys that privilege, we don’t call it anything, that’s just normal that they enjoy the same social pull as a mafia family whenever the group’s name is in someone’s mouth.
Funny how that works.
This is the same exact energy, except you could lose your livelihood, platform, etc.
So basically certain aspects of America’s modern social climate resembles a 3rd world prototype. And we’re okay with that.
“Inclusive“, “tolerant“ indeed, bullshit.
It wouldn't be annoying for someone to just clarify their intentions to be nice or a decent person, but everyone is doing it on reflex out of legit concern for their online career, "fear". Which has nothing to do with a friendly clarification vs rules of engagement people feel they have to do just to survive in their social economy.
Speak in Newspeak or go missing type of shit, in this case, canceled, fired, banned, gone, erased. Punished.
As far as social climates go, that’s unhealthy and inefficient.
And this would have never happened if their first concern was making her feel good about herself.
She made a gesture at the dig, as if she’s used to abuse, and then to her own surprise constructive criticism was attached to it. She wasn’t ready for it.
When everyone’s calling you amazing, & pretending insanity is the new normal.
It takes one person going against the grain to change your entire pathway in life or at least plant the seed of change
They tried her as an adult, not a “girl”, an ADULT woman. And it got through.
Validation, empowerment, cosigns and blind reinforcement does not help. It pads, exacerbates- they’re not solutions.
ACCOUNTABILITY, criticism, concern/ HUMANITY is what saves people/us from ourselves.
There’s a big difference between hate (A reason why, but with no constructive point) and criticism (with both a reason and at least a solution or an explanation attached to it. A point, at least.)
