Sorry to go back to this stupid tumblr but this one annoyed me. She probably thinks she's a "good, non-racist" Nazi because she acknowledges and regrets the Holocaust. But really, what the gently caress is there to like about Nazism other than some improvement in infrastructure, the volkswagen, and the uniforms? There is no non-evil way to support things like lebensraum and the associated militarism, the denouncing and censorship of art you happen not to like, Nazi eugenics, the demand for social conformity, constant spying on the civilian populace, and totalitarianism. And there is no non-moronic way to think Hitler was good at anything other than giving speeches and sleeping, or that any other top-level Nazis contributed anything of value to society and culture.

For one the military was a bunch of hunks so there's that.

That is indeed Oxford, just outside the Radcliffe Camera.

I believe the point of the "girl" emphasis is that they are tired of clothing being assigned to gender. She didn't actually wear a corset, but would wear both male and female clothes, and as many posters have thoughtfully pointed out, they could pass as either, presumably leading to some potential embarrassment.

This person actually went to University with me, and somewhere in her second year decided she was gender neutral, including a name change and use of the ze etc. pronouns. Her look I think is partially congenital although I never knew her well enough to find out.

"Ze" pronouns? Is that a thing? Social justice by doing your best Pepe Le Pew impression? Because that guy was not respectful of others' personal boundaries.

Truly the single biggest tragedy of the Holocaust was that it distracted from all the awesome things Hitler did.

I really hate it when people get the general idea right ("The Holocaust was evil!") but in the worst possible way ("because now it's awkward to explain my Nazi fetish!").

People wanting to be called gender-neutral pronouns are a thing, though how much of a joke or not it is depends on how much of a joke or not you think Tumblr in general is.

The best of all gender-neutral pronouns is, of course, thon.

Back when I was in high school on the speech and debate team, there'd be a dozen of those guys at every competition. One of them (and usually exactly one) would be absolutely amazing, and the rest would be completely incapable of speaking clearly in public at all. My school was special because we managed to have two amazing ones, although one sometimes shook it up and dressed like Balki from Perfect Strangers.

At least they agree it was bad, unlike this Cavalcade of Ugly White Supremacists!


First up, Kevin Strom, whose turn-ons include white pride and verbally abusing his spouses. (His major turn-off is getting caught with child pornography.)


Next up, the "Aryan Barbarian" Erich Gliebe, a former professional boxer and current hater of non-whites.


Hailing from Roanoke, Virginia, here's Bill White, a guy who used to be a radical leftist before he decided to become a racist, then became a landlord in a predominantly black neighborhood so he'd have a fresh supply of people to bully. And when that got boring, he decided to start a website where he could bully everyone.


And here's Matt Hale, leader of the Creativity Movement, who hasn't done anything wrong at all ever. (Just kidding! He actually went to prison for threatening to kill a federal judge.)


Finally, we have David Irving, a self-proclaimed expert on Nazi Germany who was proven in a court of law to be a holocaust denier, and who apparently wanted to lead tours of Auschwitz.

I work in an university office with a space people can use for club meetings. Out of all the nerd subsets I've gotta say, bronies are the cleanest/best smelling (probably because half are girls) but loudest. They yell "WHO IS BEST PONY" a lot. Aren't there like six of them? How long can you debate this for? (For three hours every Friday, that's your answer. They often have to be kicked out because they want to stay longer. Most other clubs meet an hour tops).

For the record, Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon guys are all pretty quiet. Anime club is smelly and shrill. Even the men are shrill. They play a lot of bad music and sing along, sometimes in broken Japanese. The bronies also play music but seem to listen with a hushed reverence while tinny pony voices sing to them about seasons and poo poo.

I think it's less to make the guy look dweebier, and more to smear internet atheists in general by association. But then they're pretty awful already so no need to make poo poo up still, I suppose.

We have Yugioh tournaments on Saturdays and about half of them are Bronies. We've had a half dozen angry slap fights that happen when they try to argue if a pony or a ygo character would win in a fight.

On Saturdays from 1-5 I hate my life.

Something about that game pulls in absolutely socially inept people. I had a kid in the store have a meltdown because he couldn't decide which card to buy on his limited budget. And when I say meltdown I mean counter-kicking, loud whining and he started beating his head on a display rack because he was so stressed out.

Did you ask which pizza hut? Because I bet it would be a loving hoot to hear just what exactly was the straw that broke the camel's back. Restaurants will put up with a lot of poo poo since they don't have the world's best profit margins so there had to be a run-up of amazing creepster poo poo to finally eject them from their sitting space.

That first video, christ. Sometimes it's oddly charming ("Wern tahm ah stay unnerwater for 72 days. Din see ma chilluns.") and then he goes and compares boycotting Games Workshop to the Civil Rights movement or ejecting the British from India and it all goes out the window.

I've never heard the words "doggone" or "Chinaman" spoken by an actual person before, so it's weird to have both of them in the same video.
