Panfilo posted:Did they ditch the 'pill' thing when it was revealed that much of the Matrix story was an allegory for being trans or something? Because given how scared they are of 'soy' anything I'd figure they'd drop the Red Pill terminology like a hot rock if they realized it was supposed to help them be the beautiful woman they know they always were deep down. lmao no, they argued with the trans creators of The Matrix that they were wrong in their interpretation of what they wrote.

I mean that's not what death of the author means, death of the author means that you can interpret a work based on what is depicted in it. Dumbledore, for example, is not gay. It never comes up, it is not part of the text, therefore harry potter does not have gay representation and dumbledore in the potter books is not gay, and he doesn't become gay because rowling said after the fact that he was, offscreen. You could write a fanfic where he was gay, because he's a character and you can do that, but he is not, as written by rowling, actually gay. He doesn't, as far as I know, have a sexuality at all in the books, it is not a component of his character. He is no more gay than anyone else in the book who is not shown having a gay relationship, which is everybody. But that doesn't really mean that all interpretations are equally valid, to interpret a work via that method you would, just as you would with any other interpretation, be expected to back it up with the text if you want other people to take it seriously. If you can't do that, or if someone else can do it better, their interpretation will have more weight. It's an important thing to do because people can absolutely write things they did not necessarily intend to write, if someone writes a lovely book it isn't suddenly good because they think it is good, it's lovely because the text in front of people reading it is lovely, that's death of the author, the author's intent does not change what the text is though the author likely will have a textually supported interpretation of their work, the point is that it is only one possible interpretation and not, necessarily, the most supportable one. Authors can reveal themselves through their work more thoroughly than they might want to let on, or possibly even more clearly than they might be aware themselves, but the point doesn't even have to be about the author, you can remove the author entirely from a work and just look at what it means to someone who reads it without authorial context if you want to. Or you can use the same principle to critique an author's preferred interpretation by pointing out alternative, coherent readings. But that still, again, requires you to be good at it if you want other people to agree with you. OwlFancier has a new favorite as of 23:28 on Dec 9, 2020 |

That twitch streamer loves to drop the N word and defend Kyle Rittenhouse and tried to host a superspreader event with Atlanta YDSA during finals week and when he was turned down for all the obvious reasons, threw a giant tantrum, pissed off a good 1/3 of twitter and his fans tried to troll a bunch of experienced internet veterans and it was a very entertaining few hours.

OwlFancier posted:It initially stemmed from them all watching the matrix and apparently entirely missing the point and substituting it with "the pill that makes you wake up and see the true nature of the world is called racism" If i remember right, the original "redpill" was from MRA communities and was about misogyny rather than racism, i think it was basically accepting the belief: "feminism is responsible for everything i dont like!" Then you could see that every system was twisted to explicitly benefit women, womens suffrage ruined politics, etc etc

Something red pillers actually say is that "a man is a key and a woman is a lock. A key that opens lots of locks is a master key, a lock that is opened by lots of keys is a broken lock". It's hosed as hell lol

What do they think they're unlocking with their dicks, lol? Every misogynistic metaphor of that sort is always the dumbest poo poo. Let's see if I can make one up offhand that's just as faulty. Oh! Usb sticks fit in a slot! Here's mine: "A man is like a thumb drive, useful for holding information, but a woman's the one powerful enough to use it!"

After watching lockpickinglawyer videos a bunch, I'd say a broken lock is going to be a far better lock than a master lock

A key that opens lots of locks is a master key, a lock that is opened by lots of keys is a broken lock". There's also really no way to argue against it since it starts from the a priori idea that a woman's purpose is to be a sex object for a single man. Everyone who uses that line as an argument seems to think it's so profound when all they did was take their misogyny and try to twist it into an aphorism. Though that's a lot of words for "gently caress the people who say that."
