“you’re just not paying attention because you’re not a trans ally”
yeah so basically anyone paying attention to trans issues knows about JKR. I don’t think I said all harry potter fans are transphobic, so that was a fun little thing for you to make up I guess, but I would say that fans of Harry Potter who don’t know the controversy are not trans allies. She is the anti-trans celebrity.

I don’t think employees on the edge of brokeness are getting stock options, that’s more a thing to get with a 100k paycheck vs a 150k paycheck.
- Comment on Disneyland workers say they live in cars, motels due to low pay 3 months ago:
Okay I get this. The dude with stock could sell the stock, which would be a useful protest, or financially support the worker’s rights movement.

You sound like a Disney villain, how ironic.

True

Literally just being a “centrist” is a red flag. All he has to do is say like, oh I don’t really have strong opinions on politics.

🙄 there are communist countries that are not Russia or China, just like there are capitalist countries that aren’t the United States.
- Comment on What would cause a person to speak in different accents randomly? 4 months ago:
Just because someone has a personality disorder doesn’t mean they are incapable of doing their jobs. That’s an ableist assumption.
Don’t take it as an insult, if you keep being ableist that would be grounds for insults, but I’m honestly just letting you know.

Sure, ignore men too. But sexism is real, a woman’s advice is more likely to be ignored or yeah, not asked for at all.

Let’s be real, probably her opinion.

You are just lying about your class status, you already admitted to living a lifestyle that matches with the upper percent of people.

Yeah, it’s notable that computer programmers are also over-represented in this survey.
- Comment on Why is homebrewing so middle-class, straight, white, male? 4 months ago:
I wonder if there isn’t a lack of people brewing outside the rich white man demographic… but more that they inhabit different social worlds so they aren’t seeing each other.

Love how this one is upvoted 😭 like they’re saying “yeah 😀”

I have not seen that episode ☹️

Enjoying reading books, coffee, and romantic comedies are all factors that would influence statistics that you are just … ignoring?

How much does it cost?

Why was this downvoted it’s like common knowledge

When I was a kid, I was a girl and me and my best friend (also a girl) went to Dungeons and Dragons games hosted by a DM at a local gaming shop. We were in middle school, the other players and the DMs were all adults.
There was a guy who would regularly teasingly poke my friend in a way that was clearly inappropriate and uncomfortable. Nobody stopped him. We did go for a few more sessions but eventually stopped attending. We stayed in the hobby, but it’s not a mystery why people would leave.
Not to mention the underlying currents of racism in a lot of games.
I know D&D and homebrew aren’t the same thing, but D&D is the intro for a lot of people so it’s very relevant.

No worries! We can always join the US military! 😀

Think about all the micro USB, lightning cables, USB cables etc. In programming it’s different, but for this stuff it’s a waste of money and actual resources.

A ton of people, in this thread, are saying tipping should be banned/not a thing.

How am I playing the victim when I am just calling you dismissive? Hmm
- Comment on The worst pick-up line I've ever gotten 4 months ago:
hmm I wonder why I might be “dramatic” over a topic that impacts me and most of the people I love most. hmmm.
not buying your ignorance explanation anymore, you seem really dismissive.
- Comment on The worst pick-up line I've ever gotten 4 months ago:
Maybe don’t speak so confidently on trans issues when you aren’t trans! Esp considering the transmed vibe you have given off, inadvertantly or no. Just stop speaking for other people.
- Comment on The worst pick-up line I've ever gotten 4 months ago:
She is a monster, just like Anita Bryant. The result of her activism is trans kids commiting suicide after being on YEARS long wait lists. Maybe if people you cared about were being denied healthcare for years, you would call the person advocating for that denial a monster too
Anyway, I don’t care about people like you who only care about semantics so uh yeah 🖕🏻If me calling people a monster and being angry is going to dissuade people from supporting trans rights, let’s be real they were not supporters to begin with and are looking for the flimsiest excuse.
Monster is an adult criticism because she’s a fucking monster.

Did you read the OP’s comment and explanation? That I was replying to? You actually seem lost. You’re trying so hard to be condescending but boo… like did you read the comment?
- Comment on The worst pick-up line I've ever gotten 4 months ago:
Yeah head canons make sense in fandom, but you’re just putting your head in the sand and then saying “lol I don’t care”
- Comment on The worst pick-up line I've ever gotten 4 months ago:
It’s not a “different opinion”, it’s denying people’s identities which can lead to people denying trans healthcare. It’s a huge asshole take.
- Comment on The worst pick-up line I've ever gotten 4 months ago:
JKR has been incredibly vocal and actively pushing for anti-trans legislation. It’s not a secret, and there are many people who vocally do not care and support her anyway.
