Most criticisms of him tend to boil down to either generic 'KIDS MUSIC SCARES AND CONFUSES ME' or generic "LOOKIT THIS SISSY DANCING AND SINGING LIKE A GIRL" both equally worthy of being mocked more than some retarded canadian who was the target of world wide scorn for wearing dumb clothes when meeting a prime minister once.

yeah my post was more me being mad at calling someone straight gay as an insult cause its kind of lovely to actually gay people

Women should be forced to obey our draconian, misogynistic religious laws! Not their draconian, misogynistic religious laws!

The problem is that a lot of people self identify themselves as left wing. And they defend token left wing ideas. Why they do it? is not that they are left wing, they are more center or right wing, but they find left wing more fashionable. They like the idea of "stick it to the man" and defending poors.

Perhaps thats why they have to live in safe-spaces where their beliefs are not challenged. Is not that these ideas are wrong, is that they believe in these ideas like a religious person believe in god.

Yeah it's really lovely to people to use membership in their group as an insult. It's not an insult unless being gay or part of whatever other group is so self-evidently intrinsically bad that it doesn't need any explanation.

When someone sits on a subway with their legs spread such that they're taking up two or three seats instead of just one.

Incidentally, one of the responses from let's just say a certain reactionary group is to immediately accuse women of taking up all the available seats with their purses and shopping bags.

It helps that when A.D Condo wrote that for The Outbursts of Everett True in 1906 people didn't call it "Manspreading" they just called it being a jackass on the bus (Or whatever old-timey words for "jackass" that one would use in 1906). It's just that now everyone on the internet has their own personal hugbox so when someone complains that I'm needlessly taking up space in public transportation I can count on a legion of followers to tell me I'm just keepin' it real

"Manspreading" is usually used as a way of telling people (men) that they are being jackasses, though? Not every new term is used defensively.

It's kind of nice to have a specific term for that specific kind of douchebag behaviour.

I've heard it used both defensively by jerks and offensively by good people so if some meme-ologist tells me who used it first I'll listen to them.

Then again this would be the second time I've started a derail over modern terminology so let me get ahead of it and say this probably isn't worth anyone's time :v:

you can't own words, so is not like is important who invented it.

my opinion is that with hugbox, safe space, mansplaining, etc.. it comes from the PC/feminist subculture.

theres this theory that our brain can't think withouth words. things become A Thing when we have a word for them.

this theory was very popular when feminism started has a modern movement (if you ignore things like Lysistrata), so is like part of the cultural baggage of feminism

anywhere where feminism go, they try to change language has a way to change the world. the PC subculture have other reasons to create new words, but the same inspiration.

Terms/memes that mock the dominant/privileged group in society (e.g. men, white people) are bad and divisive. They're not nearly as bad as terms that mock marginalized groups, but they're still bad. Ooh you turned the tables on the privileged group, they are the ones being mocked for once, how neat. Truly societal harmony is now just around the corner, and not pushed farther away by divisive "no u" language.
