Sometimes tropes exist for a reason. After all, when someone says they think society judges certain views too harshly, it begs the question: which views?
- jwarden 4y agoWell, for example, the view that gay marriage should be legal. Until very recently this view was judged very harshly by society. Many people who had this view were afraid to express it. Of those people who today complain about not feeling safe to express their views, some of them may be horrible racist people as you suggest, but others are advanced thinkers who will eventually convince most of us to change our views. That is how and why the morals of society change and evolve with every generation.
- OOD 4y ago>Sometimes tropes exist for a reason. Is this post-irony? This is the exact same logic racists use.
- projectazorian 4y agoNo, it’s not the exact same logic, because I’m not discussing people’s immutable characteristics; I’m discussing communication styles, which are mutable, and the ideologies that tend to be associated with them, which are also mutable.
- OOD 4y ago>No, it’s not the exact same logic, because I’m not discussing people’s immutable characteristics It's literally the exact same logic, because racists discuss people's mutable characteristics as well. >I’m discussing communication styles, which are mutable, and the ideologies that tend to be associated with them, which are also mutable. You literally just described "SPEAK ENGLISH" and "if only Black people spoke properly and wore their pants up above their waist" (both mutable characteristics). This has to be post-irony. Good troll.
