It's come to my attention that this site is currently infested with Feeling types that are here for social engagement over the rational thinking that leads to successful mafia play. Change my mind.
and if you dont believe that people can be persuaded into doing something against their will then im sorry to say the law itself already thinks that u r full of .
btw on the whole censorship meme thing a lot of people supporting it are of the impression that the things being censored are being done so by those who are just too weak or are genuinely evil
no that's not the case, u are under the delusion that you are being a hero here let me enable you some more
when free speech was made into law it was to prevent tyrannical governments forming and to prevent silencing the press which acts as a stopper for people who are evil and the kinds that you are aware of
okay that's good but these free speech laws that try to 'police' people are usually always, always about trying to stop hate groups advocating for violence against other parties, hate groups like gay bashers or for example, people who want to get black people lynched.
or most controversial, both muslim radical hate groups AND people who are radicalized to hate all muslims, let me clear something up for you
i do not believe in islam, but islam is a religion just like christianity is and, believe it or not, most muslims are not in support of isis, this is a radicalized hard-right conservative support for that in some countries like oh idk, saudi arabia.
sound familiar to you? it should, because these are the same people who are shouting that mexicans are rapists and that nothing good happens at the border. they are the racist people at charlottesville who think that they should be treated equally despite thinking slavery is correct.
and you know what the majority of internet shitlords are posting in response to these facts? "but without muh freezedpeaches i can't say n words at rando people on the internet" u r really doing free speech a favour aren't u? yeah u can sit there looking like a smug , a real lad, u sold out hero.
the enlightened centrist strikes again with his signature move: "muh censorship"
don't censor things. frame things properly if you're gonna post potentially offensive lighthearted memes "ironically". implicit bias is in fact thing, despite a lot of the psychological studies around it (and training programs designed to remove it) being crap. but, you know, that's psychology for ya.
it's not a racist picture because it's depicting a white woman with a fake tan and heavy makeup evolving into a white woman with little to no makeup and no fake tan. also as zovea pointed out, it's 100% a white woman because it's got white person stylised hair and she's orange.
it's got nothing to do with darker skin shades representing desirability, it's to do with women being demonised for daring to have interest in their appearance.
now if you want to argue that the minimal makeup woman is representative of a desire for fair skinned women, and rejecting darker tones, you can, but i think you'll fail there too. not to say they're not racists, because they almost certainly are, but that picture isn't shaped by race.
btw someone link me the other racism in this thread bc i haven't read it all and i can't be bothered clicking through
i am fully aware of the subject of the image is supposed to be a white woman wearing fake tan. its a valid point. however its still too much to overlook that the “good” woman has white skin and the “bad” woman does not
