Gazan calls the pushback a distraction from the continued violence facing Indigenous women and girls, two-spirit and gender diverse people, along with federal funding cuts to programming aimed at prevention.
And I think the fact that we’re focusing on an acronym and not the funding cuts that are at the center of the discussion proves that she’s correct.
Dude holy shit I’m trying not to cackle in bed and wake up my partner
Even in the 2000s, many of the good servers on tf2 would ban for racism snd sexism. (Probably not homophobia tho). Gmod was worse for it, but there were still servers that didn’t allow it.
And it makes sense. Even if bigotry isn’t a problem to you, bigots tend to be really fucking annoying about it. You don’t often find bigots that are chill with it. When you cut the bigots, you cut like 90% of the shit disturbers that made the game less fun.
Why does an actor have to give commentary against bumper stickers?
You mean to say this person wasn’t saying a Canadian is just two americans in a trench coat standing on eachother’s shoulders?
I really wish there was a pictoral way to indicate preferred language without tying it to a country or making people think I like the values of said place.
We could always do (ENG) or (DE) or something but that doesn’t offer much more clarity to the difference, and it reads as less scrutable than 🏴 or 🇩🇪 to me . Maybe something like (🗣️:🏴🇩🇪) would work?
Oh hey, I recognize your name! Did you also hop onto 2009 yesterday night? I think we were on Tutorial Island together haha
Did you read the comment you’re replying to? They already said it’s not your place to decide who does and doesn’t need a service dog. They didn’t say that to mean that it’s actually their place to do so.
there is multiplayer 2009scape, thus the need for ironman mode for those who want it
Wait this only happened in Saskatoon?
I live in Regina and people here talk like this also happened here. Did it?
Aye aye captain! One swimsuit calendar with a raccoon coming up!
I was going to jump into a big thing about comparing how NTs treat NDs with how hearing people treat Deaf people. But there’s already a lot of novel length comments here now and I feel weird jumping in with another lol
But anyway, if you’re curious for a parallel, check out some posts written by Deaf people! There’s a lot that can be relatable there.
Putting aside the “White people tip-toeing the line of saying the n-word” vibes: Not sure how I feel at the casual implication that different races are analogous to different species… we could just as easily treat different races as different colors of fur.
I did genuinely think that this is someone attempting to parody academic jargon to poke fun at Butler. But re-reading the post seems like there can be something actually being said. But also in the context of OP’s title, I’m back to having no idea what the point is.
My reading of this is: The responder says that in a lecture, they (which are Butler’s preferred pronouns since 2020. Not sure why the responder decided on she/her…) said the book “Wretched of the Earth” undermines the idea of “decolonization” by saying it (decolonization) grows out of deeply entrenched desires for states to hold “masculine” values (like ex. independence, fighting ability, not-being-subservient to others). These “masculine” ideals are imaginary and only exist as conceptions we have in our head. But even so, they are desires being chased even if states don’t explicitly say they are chasing them.
These deeply entrenched desires manifest themselves through violence. Specifically, the kind of violence that only states get to do without major objections from anyone. Decolonization reframes (problematically, in Butler’s -alleged- view, if the responder is being truthful) this violence as something special that formerly colonized states get to do, in order to achieve “liberation”. Butler (allegedly) believes this reframing of violence in the quest to liberate these colonies will only entrench patriarchy. If true, that would make the current version of decolonization antagonistic to goals like feminism or gender equality.
These claims are (allegedly) what they believe the book Wretched of the Earth tells us about decolonization.
Where I get confused is by OP’s title. Butler is an outspoken critic of Zionism and critical of Israel’s conduct in Gaza. So how is their face an example of “how white people look at you when you don’t condemn Hamas”?
edit: I didn’t mention how the book fits into this. Whoops. edit 2: the word “phantasmatic” or phantasmagorical has a bit of nuance behind it I didn’t really capture originally.
Motorists are such crybabies
Figured it out! That was cool, thanks!
Once I saw it and heard “the solution isn’t obvious”, I got focused on the idea of digital roots cuz I thought back to the game series 999. But that didn’t work, so I focused on the shape of the pizzle and thought it looked like a thermometer, so I tried conversions of F to C, which also didn’t work. But when I heard other people say that it made then think about the “obvious” solution and work around the 7, I thought back to my digital root idea and realized I was applying it in a different way in 999 versus what’s happening here.
This was a fun adventure~
No longer will I be scared of sinkholes, I will become the sinkhole maker
Thats unhinged, I’m trying that
My experience has been the adoption of Discord for communication in game has been a negative factor in the social aspects of gaming. Before, games needed to implement their own comms, which would encourage players to communicate as part of the game experience. But now it’s expected that you’d talk on discord instead, so there’s less need for games to be a social experience.
