Why is Day still banned?

[Zetanio]

day is a good ffxi friend. i know that much.

[Demosthenes]

Like yes, some people behave differently online, but when that is how some people interact with you online, you can't expect them not to perceive you as you act.

[Demosthenes]

Not sure I fully agree, need to give this more thought

it's the difference between Nigger and Cracker. Both are pejoratives, both ARE shit, but they ain't equivalent.

[Gredival]

It's okay to love yourself and clearly want the best for yourself. There's no need to hate yourself, but you can hate an institution, acknowledge that it gives you a leg up, and do what you can to even the odds for the people with less.

while i fully understand that, people hold that benefit against me as if i could control it in any way

maybe im a piece of shit on here but i'm doing my best to be a good person in real life and treat every one like i myself would like to be treated, i mean that's the end goal right?

Archi has said it before. Being white is awesome.

The point is that it's ignorant and douchey to refuse to acknowledge that.

And it's even worse to belittle the issues faced by people who aren't white.

[Demosthenes]

Packing this shit up. I really fucking hate that this place is getting YCS'd up. I avoided that section for a reason and I hate having to get so goddamn serious about shit that hits me on an emotional level on a fucking forum.

[Zetanio]

Can we just move along to talk about how excited I am that I finished the Tachi: Fudo quest yesterday?

[Fondue]

but we'll never be able to jump or dance

that has to be worth something in the oppression olympics right?

[Zetanio]

I can definitely dance. It's not good but it's a thing I can do.

[Xno Kappa]

We can talk about how fucking stupid abyssea procs and its nm system are?

[Fondue]

nin/war gets all the procs i think :^)

Here’s a pick up line I discovered on the internet and can’t wait to use on a woman.

“You remind me of a cigarette.”

“How so?”

“Because you’re smoking hot and I can’t wait to have your butt in my mouth.”

dude holy fuck fuck every part of it. Abyssea ruined FFXI gred wuz rite.

[Milkster]

Acknowledging the existence of privilege is always forward progress. Period. Utilizing it for the benefit of others is a second step forward, but let's not suddenly pretend that people who have only taken the first step are bad because they haven't reached the top of the stairs yet.

You pulled this same shit with Liam Neeson. You can't just acknowledge that someone took an opportunity to grow and become a better person without simultaneously shitting on them for not prosthelytizing enough afterwards.

40 years and the best he could do when he dropped that bombshell of he walked around for a week looking to kill a random black person and the best he can do is if you scratch the surface is everyone is racist and a bigot? The bar is on the damn ground.

[Gredival]

dude holy fuck fuck every part of it. Abyssea ruined FFXI gred wuz rite.

No. I want 99 cap and everything else but I hate Abyssea.

That very victimization is a conservative thing. The notion that "PC culture" is discriminatory against white men rather than a reaction to inherent systemic biases that are (part of) today's legacy of racism. That social justice isn't a pressing concern when, according to Charlie Kirk, "only" 11 unarmed black people get shot by police last year.

Tell that to the smiling MAGA hat kid who received death threats after him and his friends surrounded and intimidated the poor defenceless indian dude, who then went on CNN and told the story of how those white kids approached him threateningly and he feared for his life.And then the full video video got released. The black people yelling homophobic and anti-semitic garbage, blip on the radar. The indian dude exposed as a fraud as he approached the kids, not even a blip on the radar. The fact the kid was wearing a MAGA hat, front and center.

A couple years ago, thousands of blue collar workers, mostly males, find their jobs being phased out. “Learn to code” was flung at them, mostly by very left leaning journalists. They didnt care, they found it hilarious to say that. Fast forward a couple years, and hundreds of these same left leaning clickbait journalists find themselves out of a job. “Learn to code” was flung at them, and all of a sudden its not funny, its actually being flagged as threatening hate speech.

But do tell us more about how PC culture isnt discriminatory towards white men?

I'd suggest you read a few of the last pages where even Day put trolling aside to discuss racism.

But you probably just filtered it out because the white people have it the worst because of those mean SJWs

Oh calm down. You know that's just to get clicks fam. The best part of 99% of this garbage is that if you avoid twitter you can miss all of it and it won't affect your day.

I think it’s fair to recognize that discrimination against straight white men does exist. But you also can’t try to paint it as something that happens more often than discrimination against other groups of people. That is just not historically accurate. When you try to paint it that straight white men are the victims of this huge persecution movement, I can’t get on board with that when others are marginalized at such a higher rate.

Of course it exists, it happens to everyone. The idiots tend to fall into two categories though whataboutism or attempting to diminish the discussion and plight of others. It's the same exact thing when discussing women as victims sexual assault. Some randumb comes in with "what about the men getting raped? Huh? What about the men getting raped by women? How is it okay to cheer for a male kid raped by his school female school teacher but when it happens from a male teacher to a female student it's a problem? Huh? Huh? Huh?"
