Student editor sacked for being accurate...

there'll be uproar if they ever show Kindergarten Cop on TV again.

That took me a second.

You've got that bit and also, "who is your daddy, and what does he do?"

This seems to be an evolution of the 'it isn't gay if you don't push back' argument.

It’s 2018 folks, men can have babies, women have penises, there are 164 genders, and they can change from minute to minute. You can be trans-race, biological sex doesn’t exist and words are violence. Also, those violent masked thugs dressed all in black are the good guys! La la la…

 

[StriderX]

Irony. Complains about lack of research ability and misses the post 10 before his where someone is saying thread is full of racists.

Haha, got ya.

/s

Why would they even write it though?

If it was entirely made to get a reaction then he's won the grand prize, and maybe people should realise that for the most part these clubs are democratic and usually small, so if you're going to get a rise out of people who are easily aggravated (depending on University), then you should fully expect to be punted out.

For someone involved with a philosophy journal I think it's perfectly fine since philosophy 'sometimes' uses controversial issues to promote discussion.

Not anymore, welcome to the world of SJWs...

Has been posted before but it is relevant in reply to the above:

Instead of making sweeping statements about everyone, perhaps you fine chaps would like to pick out particular posts and point out exactly what issue you take with them and why. You never know - you may actually persuade someone to change their views or at least appreciate someone else's viewpoint. Casually calling everyone racists just tends to make people ignore you.

They tend not to bother with that, that involves putting a little bit of thought/effort into coming up with an argument and perhaps realising that what they have labeled racist isn't really.

Would I date a trans male to female? I'm not 100pc on no side. But would have to have the girls physical stuff!

Well I guess the top half could have boobs and look feminine after hormone treatment etc.. though any changes to the bit down below essentially involves creating an open wound. I'm not sure I'd find that too appealing. AFAIK plenty keep the down below bit intact and IMO you'd need to be a little bit gay/bi.

I disagree with not being able to put preferences on dating.
Its fine for people to out 'no. X'.
It saves time later. I dont believe saying that is racist.
I for one would put 'dont date me if you want kids'. It would save a lot of wasted time on dates

Yeah I agree, that is down to preference - it is common within the gay community anyway: "vanilla only, no chocolate or rice" etc...
I mean people wouldn't call a straight or gay person sexist for preferring men over women or vice versa. Likewise preference with regards to body size (well this can trigger feminists when relating to big women), age, hair colour etc.. isn't too controversial. Surely being honest and up front about what people are attracted to is the best policy.

 

[Raz]

Imagine a straight white man asking for vanilla only...

Straight up racist!

 

[Rimsy]

This thread is the laundry list of racists and intolerant people on this forum.

We'll do fine running the country.

There is definitely a problem with calling anyone who doesn't completely agree a racist or whatever. How is this considered acceptable behaviour?
It's just basically radicalism / extremism but hiding behind the "inclusion" banner.
Quite scary!

Normal people are strange and scary to them.

I do feel that blatant racism does still need to be called out because it is still a problem. Sadly the term is diminished like you say thanks to lazy people with big tar brushes these days. I get annoyed when anyone throws that at me because they know nothing about me.

 

[d_brennen]

There's no need for intolerance but, IMO, there's also no need for reality distortion fields either. If you were born with a penis you are male, no matter what you feel like. Not that I'd want to enforce how people FEEL. That's for them in their own mind. I'd like to be a pro athlete but I don't have the body, time nor money to do nothing but train for it. And I'd rather like to be 20 again.

People bang on about freedom of speech. That freedom (should) come with the freedom of others to criticise what you are saying. Today we have people screaming down rational discussion because it offends them, and the powers that be seemingly bending over backwards to accommodate it.

Well, I'm sorry lady-boy-trans-female-attack helicopters. Penis = male. Vagina = female, no matter how mad it makes you*


*not aimed at anyone in particular, just venting some common sense before work tomorrow.

 

[Narj]

The amusing thing is that the loudest, most hysterical people taking offence are often not even part of the affected demographic. Ah well.

I actually didn't call anyone specifically racist, but you know who they are. To say otherwise is being wilfully ignorant. And as Narj said:

The intolerant brigade is out in force in this thread. They're the people like my father who get so offended that someone might be different that they waste their energy getting ****** off about it, when it completely doesn't affect them. Why give a ****?

 

[Nasher]

We don't pick up an animal, see it has a penis and think maybe it's a female with a penis.

Imagine being stuck in the apocalypse with these nutters and having to restart the human race.

Reminds me of this song, a Welsh classic:

"Your Mother's Got A Penis"

That's right, you knows what I'm saying
Your mother's offered me the goods, I'm not paying.
It started as a laugh, as a bit of a joke
Something funny to say when I was having a smoke.
I first heard off this bloke, this rumour going round
Your mother's reputation it's not sound
She's saving up the pennies hoping they'd turn into pounds
To have an operation to swap her gender around.

It's a shock to me and it's a shock to you
Your mother's got a beard, sandals and a penis too
It don't look right see, when she's walking down the street
To see her ball bag jiggin' to the beat of her feet

I said
Your mother's got a penis
Your mother's got a penis
Your mother's got a penis
That's right
Your mother's got a penis

In internet rooms and computer mainframes
There's loads of emails about your mother's blue veins.
Not the ones in her legs or the backs of her arms
But the ones in her member hidden in her gown.
She walks around proud, with a short dress on
Which sometimes exposes the tip of her dong.
Often it's dripping, sometimes it's dry
No matter when I see her there's a tear in my eye.
I thought I had to tell you, had to put it in a letter
But I thought **** that I'd write a song its much better.
The only way to do it, to really let you know
I could prove it because I gave it a blow.
It was purely accidental because she got me really drunk
And she made me kiss her elephant trunk.
You know why? That's right
Your mother got a penis.

I love it when you go full meltdown.

There is something quite worrrying about him tbh, he exhibits quite concerning levels of paranoia as everything seems to be a conspiracy of "The Left" and his general opinion on world matters seems completely askew to reality.

 

[Tibbz2]

Same here, I graduated in '95 and this sort of **** was contained to one or two loons who sat in a corner of the SU bar and were laughed at or just outright ignored by the majority. We had crustys though, and that was bad enough. Can't imagine what it's like at University these days, having to watch every word you say in case some special little ice crystals get offended.

I'm in my 4th year at university now, it's honestly not as bad as the media makes out, I think it's just focusing on the extreme views of a minority. Luckily most of the people I know are pretty normal!
