This thread made me smile. Except for the gay sailing terminology.

I think people are still a bit tired from dancing around terms for what to call people of colour, people who prefer the same gender sexually, people who are disabled/differently abled/a couple other jargon terms I'm forgetting, and even (still after all these decades) women's rights and issues

personally I try to keep up, be respectful, and most importantly work toward my personal ideal of not even noticing any of these differences

ever point out someone across the street, and if it's a white guy, you say the blonde/brown haired/skinny guy or whatever. But if it's a black guy, I think to this day I have never once heard him referred to as anything but 'the black guy' and no reference to his fade, his wannabe kanye mohawk or any other non-race descriptor (I do recognize the difficulty in distinguishing otherwise due to the bulk of black people having black hair)


anyway, I'm pretty versed on all the rest, but my PC-ness and scientific knowledge is lacking on trans issues, and I'm still getting used to the presence of T and the other one in LGTQB or whatever the acronym is now, I think there's a 2nd T or something

you're a straight white male, you're playing on easy mode. be lucky that your biggest problem is not knowing what to call people who are different

[Qalbert]

oh god did you read that article too? or is it just a coincidental choice of words? it was the most patronizing, self-righteous bullshit. YOU GUYS HAVE IT SO EASY, WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND, YOU ARE PLAYING THE GAME OF LIFE ON CASUAL.

[Conrad]

yeah I read the kotaku thing but I wasn't trying to reference it here. he's right though

[Qalbert]

he's right, but he's a patronizing douchenozzle about it, which defeats the point.

[Linliel]

link?

[Qalbert]

he's all, WHY DON'T YOU PRIVILEGED MOTHERFUCKERS UNDERSTAND THIS, YOU ARE SO FUCKING STUPID, LET ME PATRONIZE YOU WITH A SHITTY ANALOGY.

maybe I just have an unrealistic opinion of the average guy, but it seems pretty common knowledge/indisputable that white straight male is a combination of the most advantageous qualities as far as ease of life is concerned. people act like most straight white guys don't know this, and are ignorant assholes who JUST DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD YOU HAVE IT. ugh.

[Day]

Read the title and closed the article.

cue louis ck being white is clearly better

[Conrad]

The point of the article wasn't to guilt men who are heterosexual and white, it was to merely make evident the point that those people inherently have fewer difficulties in society by default, and shit like WHY ISN'T THERE A WHITE HISTORY MONTH is really asinine when you consider the way things are. I absolutely agree that it was patronizing, but that's because I don't already wear my privilege like an albatross.
