Can you explain further? Or do the articles you posted in your top level comment do so?

That specific TOS episode sounds pretty dire as described. So id like to know what the counterpoint is.

Speaking of, are you aware of the problems that Russia has with its far right?

But if i do the reverse of this argument its whataboutism

Conservatism isnt “when you are rude”.

Between Lance Reddick, Ray Stevenson, and now Andre Braugher this year has been a rough one for tv actors i rather liked who were on the older end of things but still going before their time

Thoughts on this?

nothing to do with that persons race

Oh, really? Comparing an Chinese man to a yellow skinned character has nothing to do with race?

Have you considered that the meme might have different impact coming from a Chinese person ribbing their leader than a white westerner echoing it? The former might be “light ribbing” but the later is racist. Who says a thing matters significantly on whether its ok to say. You know this very well because I’d hope you’d know that its not ok for white people to use the soft r n word even though many black people use it.

See also the most common opinion on Gonzalo (yes I know there are Gonzalites, haven’t seen them around here though).

Damn Real Life has some very difficult achievements. This is not a game for completionists. They really need to make it more accessible.

Yeah therein lies my problem. Glad you can see it though.

I dont see how this article backs up CountryBreakfast’s point at all. It doesn’t implicate sex workers as being implict in the system that takes advantage of them. It also makes a point of making it clear that they’re only talking about “prostitution” and not other forms of sex work (OnlyFans, which is being discussed here).

I didnt read the whole thing in detail, but the tl;dr at the end, the main points, I find nothing to disagree with there. And I feel like most hexbears agree with whats there. But it doesnt back up what CountryBreakfast was saying.

Not what I said.

ETA: I said the sex workers arent complicit in that.

This growing animosity makes me sad

But yeah im not going to pretend lemmygrad doesnf have a debatebro problem going on, even if i think its a minority

I have no idea what you mean by that. Do you think sex workers benefit from the system that tries to exploit them? Do you or dont you think that sex workers are complict in rape culture? Because accusing sex workers of being complicit in the system that exploits them is what makes it SWERF bullshit, not the mere criticism of sex work. Thats where the line is.

You can criticize sex work from this angle without implying that the sex workers themselves are complicit.

OK I can see how you can twist reality to call China or the DPRK’s militaries nonpeaceful even though you’d be wrong, but Cuba’s? Really?

It sounds like the implication here is that sex workers are complicit in rape culture or something. Boilerplate swerf bullshit.

Sources on one particular point I recently gathered, which is the peace deals being offered by the Russian side: https://archive.ph/9BVwS https://archive.ph/LrOtO

One of these is really complicated

Its not complicated

The Ukraine War is actually the more complicated and nuanced one. So its incredible every time to see people come here and get that backwards.
