Wait, are wars not depressing the first 9 times? Do they click replay on themselves? METAPHORS ARE HARD, ALRIGHT
I'm not sure I'm entirely keeping up, so if I'm misunderstanding you, I sincerely apologize. I have a fairly high fever at the moment and haven't had a proper night of sleep for a couple of nights.Askias wrote:
While I mostly stand corrected, I do have some notes.
1. 'People care less' isn't 'people don't care', although I am well aware that most of the SJM indeed doesn't care at all. A hard counter can be counterproductive, and should be called such, but when we're talking about words, words that support an existing problem tend to be more harmful than the same words trying to create an opposite one. The highened reaction is a consequence of the existing situation that is being fuelled, rather than there being a possible hypothetical with as prime problem that it entrences the existing problem. Even so, I was downplaying their effect, stand corrected, and will take it into consideration in the future.
2. I am aware of this attitude, but it's not inherent to the point I tried to make. Not recognizing that problems stemming from discrimination are additional problems, and their absence does not constitute a removal of other problems, is a very bad attitude that is fairly widespread. Also widespread (and even moreso in SJW circles) is the idea that being part of a historically priviliged group negates any other negative consequences thereof. I do have to say that in your example, the statements that would be targeted as problematic are also the ones reaffirming the current problem. This is testament to the fact that these problems aren't integral: The fact that more than one group is harmed by these ideas is an argument for their 'special status', not against, if one doesn't make the two aforementioned mistakes and uses 'priviliged/underprivileged' as absolute designations instead of describtive terms that don't carry any 'more/less deserving of help/sympathy'.
3. Good point, the difference between theoretical thinking and the more relevant expected consequences. As with 1, I was downplaying this idea and will take it into consideration in the future. I was too shorthanded with the word 'Only' when I said 'only hurts people's feelings', and will be more considerate from this point forward.

Today, Doug Walker posted a new Nostalgia Critic video where he reviewed Demolition Man, and he kept making a few jokes about how both sides of the future city are kind of like Tumblr and 4Chan. At the end, however, he makes an incredibly valid point about why this movie is genius even today: it shows the internet debates of today. And he points how both sides are presented to be not necessarily wrong, but with equally valid points to make. Whatever your opinion is of NC post-uncancellation, by all means check it out.
