Some lady came up to me in public and shoved her phone in my face and yelled "thanks for sending us women back to the 50s you BITCH" and I have no clue why. I was wearing pants that day. My hair was short at the time but I also had a big purple flower clip over my ear. Maybe that was her issue? I have no idea what her problem was. White women are just really fragile sometimes. If anything I'm the opposite because I'm enby and have always dressed kind of weird. But never 50s housewife. I've never been that level of feminine.

BioEnchanted posted:It's a weird kind of irony, in their quest to "protect" women's bathrooms they've effectively made it so you are more likely to be harassed by a cis-woman for trying to use the toilet. They are the biggest threat a woman has to deal with right now, because there's a ludicrously small chance that a man will be in that bathroom and a very small chance a transwoman will be in there, but you know there is always going to be a ciswoman in the toilet so you're never safe. can any chamber of secrets be truly safe if it might contain a half blood prince?

Nastyman posted:I'm already rubbing my hands in anticipation of the first cis woman with a slight mustache suing a terf for getting up to some Seinfeld-esque shenanigans while she's trying to take a poo poo. There's been cases of people assaulting cis women who aren't conventionally feminine in and around bathrooms, and calling the cops on them, for years on suspicion that they must be trans.

Ironically, a cis butch lesbian friend of mine got harassed semi-weekly. It's absolutely baffling how pointlessly cruel it is because despite claiming "we can always tell" they genuinely never can. All they wind up doing is hurting other cis women.

I mean, on the flip side, my aunt went from posting racist "why do I have to press 1 for English" memes a few years ago to posting memes about how white people get the benefit of the doubt in the legal system comparing Brock Turner to that woman who forgot to change her address before voting and got 6 years prison for it, specifically using the phrase "white privilege" so the message is working!

All they wind up doing is hurting other cis women. I've only ever had any ladies give me grief at one music show. And that was only me hearing "there's some guy in the bathroom" when I was in the single occupancy ladies room. They didn't say anything to me when I can out, nor did I confront them. Compare to me telling another lady one day at Costco many months before "hey the lock is broken on this door btw." And she thanked me.

On another note it's always funny when older celebrities claim that shows are "afraid to take risks" because what they mean is "less willing to punch down by making fun of marginalised groups" In what way are Steven Universe having the first animated gay wedding, a musical comedy exploring all facets of mental illness and a Satanist take on Sabrina the Teenage witch "afraid to take risks"? This was triggered because of a youtube video where Known Scottish Garbage Pile Frankie Boyle was claiming "TV is afraid to take risks now". If anything it's become more emboldened to tell more interesting stories.

My example to shut that poo poo down is pointing out that Jojo Rabbit, a comedy about a Hitlerjugend kid in WW2 with Hitler being his imaginary friend won an oscar this year. There's literally a scene where they pull the pin off of grenades in kids backpacks or whatever and tell them to go hug the American (?) soldiers, lol.

Frankie Boyle wasn't talking about Steven Universe, he was talking about supposed "grown-up shows" that still go to outdated and racist stereotypes like Homeland and that show where Americans thought the dude hosed his mom.

This is just reminding me of the lameass non-binary character in that lameass show Spaced (i never got the cult following, it's like a fairly basic american sitcom), who is somehow depicted as both repellant and magnetic.

Ebola Roulette posted:"A penis free environment" She kept talking about how she had links to all of these incidents of trans women (or men pretending to be trans) assaulting women in bathrooms and never showed them. She didn't know what the big deal was with trans women using the men's room, and demanded we show evidence of trans women being assaulted by men in the men's room. I said that she sounds like the same scared white women that were terrified of desegregation leading to black men raping white women willy nilly. Her response, before my friend blocked her, was "That's a strawman: You can't identify as a race." I've never had a facebook argument that intense (I rarely touch the poop), but being a dedicated lurker of this thread I had seen it many times, just never in my social media sphere. Turns out, of course, she was a British white woman who considered herself a champion of gay rights. EDIT - Forgot the "strawman" AlliedBiscuit has a new favorite as of 22:49 on Jun 12, 2020 |

I don't feel bad using this opportunity to  and point out that I've never loving liked Black Books or the IT Crowd. They're the British Applebees of humor. Yeah sure they're not the worst and some of the staff is clearly elevating things, but the core is rotten and it's puzzling why so many people latch on like they're these venerable comedic/cultural landmarks.

You should also consider that Frankie is in the UK so using the example is an American cartoon you need to subscribe to see is probably a poor example. Also lol if you think Sabrina is edgy but even then it's on Netflix who'll commission pretty much anything. The state of mainstream TV in the UK is absolute garbage.

I'm thinking of things like the new emergency number, the goth living in the server room, or Jen being given The Internet. But those are interspersed among a whole lot of episodes where the entire joke is "ha-ha, [character] is acting feminine and/or gay!" Sometimes it's in the same episode: the one with Jen breaking the Internet has a particularly infamous B-plot.

Yeah, I don't recall any hype I just happened to have S4C (sigh) on when the first episode aired, and it was a revelation for sure. Right place, right time, right age. I remember trying it a few years back and feeling the age, but I think if I tried it again now it'll work better for more nostalgic reasons as it's old enough now. IT Crowd I remember seeing the billboards for, and feeling disappointed that the 'Father Ted guy' made something a lot worse than Father Ted. Like, it's fine and enjoyable enough but it's in an entirely different class. Arthur Matthews deserved more credit, evidently.

I watched the first few eps of IT Crowd and while executive guy made me chuckle it's just like "oh you made big bang theory if it was just sorta unwatchable and not completely unwatchable. Pass." Dark Place was before IT Crowd. He's done a few good things since then though. Gadget Man and Travel Man are pretty good. He also directed the My Dinner With Andre episode of Community, which is one of the best episodes.
