I'm talking about the Ontario Human Rights Code

"Refusing to refer to a trans person by their chosen name and a personal pronoun that matches their gender identity, or purposely misgendering, will likely be discrimination when it takes place in a social area covered by the Code, including employment, housing and services like education. The law is otherwise unsettled as to whether someone can insist on any one gender-neutral pronoun in particular."

that still isn't compelled speech. it's just ensuring that there are consequences to discrimination against a protected class of people

like i said before, the only situation where it might be compelled speech (depending on how you view the expanded list of neutral pronouns), is undecided. don't mistake me for saying that trans people shouldn't be addressed by their proper pronouns. they don't even mention non-binary or gender nonconforming so it's not something that you can be entirely sure of.

he's for free speech. not approving hate.

his points might have carried a bit more weight if his free speech was being threatened in the first place

he's also called for the mass firing of other academics, which is incredibly ironic considering the grounds on which he thought his free speech was being threatened

Peterson is against compelled speech, he's not defending free speech in that particular case

also a non-issue. compelled speech wasn't at all relevant to the conversation until he somehow got it into his head that it was

it really depends on how the law interprets the anti-hate speech bill. i don't think pronoun usage has ever even come up in a court ruling. until it does we won't know if his worries are justified or not.

I don't know who the "we" in your sentence is referring to, but I know 100% that his worries were unjustified

i don't think it's a big deal either but can you clarify what you mean when you say compelled speech isn't an issue?

EDIT: so i looked at the OHRC website, and it says if someone prefers gender-neutral pronouns you have to ask about them. it doesn't say you have to use them, instead saying you can just use their name (which is why i think this is a non-issue in the first place). it seems implies that you should use gender-neutral pronouns, though.

"Gender-neutral pronouns may not be well known. Some people may not know how to determine what pronoun to use. Others may feel uncomfortable using gender-neutral pronouns. Generally, when in doubt, ask a person how they wish to be addressed. Use they if you dont know which pronoun is preferred.[2] Simply referring to the person by their chosen name is always a respectful approach."

Youre really ignorant dude, even if you claim to be very liberal I hope you havent voted yet. No one said any should be taxed beyond half of their income dude, and yes its fucked up cooperations pay a lower rate than people do.

i think you're the ignorant one for assuming everyone is american

didn't really pay much attention in elementary or secondary. it was all socializing or gaming, so overall it was a fun time. post-secondary was really fun for different reasons.

where someone who makes 100k is giving up 40-60% of their income on taxes.

does anyone actually advocate for this

i mean idk what the actual tax rate is for someone who makes 100k, but since people are always complaining about it it's probably really high. it's only a problem when someone who would otherwise become wealthy is suddenly not wealthy because of taxes.

what's wrong with taxing the wealthy

nothing, i think it just gets absurd when you reach the point where someone who makes 100k is giving up 40-60% of their income on taxes.

but as a leftist i think the solution is nationalizing some industries to bring in profit for the state.

Diebuster was made a year after Fooly Cooly and by the same director, definitely has a TON of similarities. But before you watch Diebuster you have to watch Gunbuster, which was an old Gainax mech anime. Definitely worth watching. Both are 6 episodes.

Kill La Kill, the first anime made by Studio Trigger, who were a bunch of ex-Gainax guys that worked on Gurren Lagann and Fooly Cooly and ect.

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt made by the same director as Gurren Lagann and Kill La Kill back when he was still with Gainax. It's basically like a super lewd and offensive Power Puff Girls. Artstyle really inspired by American cartoons which is cool.

Also what episode of Gurren Lagann are you on?

i came in here to suggest Gunbuster, it's amazing

it's probably my favourite mainstream pop album unless Lana Del Rey counts as mainstream pop, in which case it would be Ultraviolence
