The most infuriating thing about outrage grifters saying "you can't criticize anything nowadays" is that they're the reason it's so tough to criticize anything diverse. Every review of something that's being targeted has to be written very carefully so racists won't think you're one of them and even then you know your words are gonna be taken and used against you to fuel some bigoted agenda. A man wrote a negative but good faith review of Glass Onion and Ben Shapiro stole his points to clumsily camouflage the rest of his review which is just far-right rage about Elon Musk is above criticism and how much he hates female protagonists of color. You make a criticism that you would have made if the protagonist had been a white man and it gets quote mined for some Youtuber's video about how the movie would have been perfect if only the protagonist had been a white man. You mix in criticism and praise and they only hear the criticism, because they decided they hated it just for having marginalized people and are looking for excuses.

If you make your own opinions, you get swarmed by a mob of people who get told their opinions by outrage grifters. This happens regardless of whether your opinion is positive or negative. But there is something uniquely infuriating that genuine, good faith criticism that respects the creators is being drowned out by people who think bigotry is "criticism" and that if they slap the word "woke" on it that magically makes it not racist.

Unpopular opinion, nei social si sta memando un po' troppo su questo individuo omofobo e sessista, direi di trattarlo come un V4nnacci qualunque perché non c'è differenza tra i due

What are your thoughts on men who go to a foreign country to find a girlfriend/wife because they think women in those countries are more “submissive”, while they bash/put down western women for being “too assertive”?

They're both racist, sexist and abusive. I have zero sympathy for this trend.

White autistic girls and women ALSO facing discrimination when seeking an autism diagnosis does not make a post illustrating the racism in psychiatry "incorrect"!

dweebs who needed some sort of cope: UMMM ACTUALLYYY have you considered that the Gaiman allegations are a TERF conspiracy?

Gaiman himself: UMMM ACTUALLYYY have you considered that the allegations are a conspiracy by my ex-wife???

Every single argument of why men are superior in any way is always bullshit.

I love how this started with "hey I work crime and I've seen three sneaker related murders so yes man can and will be that fucking petty" and ended with Aaron Burr shooting Alexander Hamilton.

Like they call it honor, but call it what it is: petty drama.

Dear So-Called "Feminists",

If you decry a butch-looking black woman literally being better than a white woman at boxing as "a man beating up an innocent woman" yet you're perfectly fine with an actual child rapist being allowed into the Olympics, then no, you don't really care about women; you're just being a racist and an abuse/rape apologist!

Oh tragic. Youtuber Shadiversity, who has had some interesting thoughts about swords and Historical European Martial Arts, has outed himself as a raging conservative on his media critique sidechannel, where he froths constantly about the "woke agenda" and how oppressed he is for being a Christian who just wants to raise his children completely ignorant of any other way of life!

I learned this buffered by a video by Jack Saint with a slightly complicated backstory. (Basically, Shad made videos criticizing the Mario Brothers trailer and movie. Jack made a video about conservatives flipping their shit about the movie, and Shad was one such example. Shad made a two-hour reaction video saying how DARE Jack, this infamous duplicitous dishonest LIAR, imply that he's conservative or sexist or bigoted! And while we're here, Shad has some thoughts he needs to share about how awful unfeminine women and antiracism and modern sexual degeneracy are!)

Anyway, the Jack Saint video has kindly cut the relevant Shad footage down to the shortest duration possible. There's one clip early on they left uncut so they couldn't be accused of "removing context" that convinced me that having to watch more of these hot takes in their raw form would physically destroy me.

Ah well! At least we'll always have Jill Bearup.

Update: GOD DAMMIT

For all the persons asking what sexism is I have something to show them!

This a translation of the first 20 comments on the L'équipe (the main sport newspaper in France) site concerning the match between Iga and Potapova today versus the ones concerning the match between Djoko and Mannarino at the AO (and I should mention that Nole is one of the most hated player in France).

And as a bonus a little nice comment about Iga's hat because we can't have enough of those:

My Ecology professor was replaced by a man named Joe Hog. He was bald, Australian and hated women.

The way transphobes (especially terfs) treated Imane Khelif is the biggest proof that they don't even know what their definition of woman is, or care about women as a whole, or think women can fit outside of the patriarchical definition of a woman; because they looked at a cisgender woman of color and said "a woman can't be that strong" and decided to be transphobic and dogpile, harass, and bully her for not fitting the white, western definition of womanhood and femininity.

was looking thru terfs posts and its so fucking funny??

*joke abt bottom surgery that is very obvious* (context: the joke was 'when gay bottoms talk Abt how hard it is to prep for an*l so I tell them to get bottom surgery') OH MY GAWD I cant believe they are trying to make it like bottom surgery SOOO normalized !!!! you have to dilate for the rest of your life and you could get sepsis and DIE !!

most mtf surgery recipients don't have to dilate for the rest of their lives. some have too for extenuating circumstances they cant control. (and if youre going to beat on women for vaginal problems they cant control, are you really a feminist?)

and while the sepsis thing is true, not only is sepsis more common in ftm surgeries, but the only reason people die of sepsis is because of lack of treatment, so the real issue here is not the fact that people are get gender affirming surgery , but the fact some people cannot afford medical help / some doctors refuse help to some people.

a screenshot from a terf blog :

the ironic thing is, this blog makes fun of how trans woman get joy out of doing stereotypical things, such as cleaning. this blog also says much more negative things about trans woman. I don't think I need to tell you how many trans woman never come out of the closet or detransition because their natural human state is offensive or disgusting to you.

i want to make it clear, that I am okay with women not shaving. (hell I'm technically one of them.)

another screenshot from that same terf blog because I don't feel like inviting terfs into my feed by researching for them:

hmm... its almost like 50% of trans kids commit over people like you, who put down and don't accept transgender people and its ironic because that sepsis rate from earlier? is lower than the rate on trans kids committing.

sources:

terfs are incredibly contradictory and by refusing trans women the right to be themselves, they're being misogynistic.
