Men going their own way (MGTOW) is one that especially pisses me the gently caress off because on the face of it, it sounds like a really cool thing. When I first found it I was expecting it to be a cool place for dudes to be pushing back at toxic masculinity and typical societal male expectations, but no, it's just another incel cesspool of bile.

Jokes on me for expecting better of Reddit I guess.

Today on Reddit: people tying themselves in knots in order to pretend that white privilege doesn't exist.

quote:

White privilege is a misconception, it's a privilege that every ethnicity enjoys when they are the majority. I'd argue that singling white people out is bigoted. White privilege is nothing more or less than ethnic majority privilege. It's the same privilege Chinese people enjoy in China, Japanese in Japan or Arabs in the Arab world.

So called white privilege is actually one of the very few ethnic privileges we are allowed to challenge.

quote:

So, because he said he doesn't have privilege, it's racism?

You know what I hear when a white person say "I have white Privilege"? that they're somehow better because they're white, it's no different from a white Supremacist saying they are outright BETTER than others

Same poo poo to me.

I've worked in the Middle East in the past and now I work in Latin America pretty regularly. Literally every professional experience I've had in both places has involved being taken immediately seriously by people with more experience and education than me because I'm a white guy.

I'm sure the rioters would be pleased to know that redditors who discuss pc gaming are most certainly not racist and that the mods there are making sure of that

top post on unpopularopinion today: "Until sentenced, the name, face and information of the accused should not be released publicly."

hmm, interesting idea, let's see what the reason is

quote:

This way anyone falsely accused does not get their name dragged through the sand until they have been convicted. We have made it too easy to destroy people's lives on false accusations. I believe protecting the innocent is just as important as prosecuting the guilty. The only downside would be if someone had evidence on the accused, but this could also be found as a part of the investigation process.

So maybe a better definition if the initial hearing is not dismissed and the judge wants to pursue the case further. I just don't think its fair to lose your job over something that's dismissed in 5 minutes in court, because that's all someone with a false accusation wants.

Edit: Thanks for the gold.

Edit: It seems the general consensus is that we all hate to see innocent people's lives ruined. Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity a little.

Edit: I keep seeing Sweden pop up in my notifications tab. So shout out to Sweden for protecting the innocent.

Edit: If this opinion was "popular" innocent people wouldn't have their lives ruined by this. I think we all know there is a problem and I am glad this post can foster discussion on the matter.

Edit: Guys I said innocent people, not celebrities. /s Honestly, this doesn't really apply the same to someone who made a fortune based on their fame, since they are probably not employed anyways.

Language is such an interesting concept as the idea of trial by media and social mob justice are actual things that can be discussed but then this phrase

quote:

makes it as clear as a neon billboard that its "well women sometimes lie about being raped" and nothing else.

he thinks that all it takes is a woman saying "he raped me" for society to shun a man and for him to be locked up. in other words, he's been living under a rock for the past decade. false rape accusations that result in imprisonment do happen but they're vanishingly rare and you're probably about as likely to be falsely accused of robbery or murder

oh and also, i don't have the data on this, but when the accusations are made up i have a strong gut feeling about what race the accuser is and what race
the alleged perpetrator is. but there's no way that crossed this redditor's mind

chuds love to tell each other stories of false rape accusations being way more common than they are
that way every time ANOTHER one of their chud role models gets accused of rape or sexual harassment they can just brush it off and say "well it's probably fake"

A lot of people are just attracted to people who present as powerful because they think it will get them ahead. Then they end up echoing their rhetoric because they've invested time identifying. Its a combination of crowds attracting crowds, people believing messages they hear the most, and sunk cost fallacy all rolled into one.
