Why bother?

Because hes my father, and I love him. And out of respect, I want him to see that I see his support is a disservice to his families safety, and rights, which he absolutely should prioritize over his party.

If I was supporting something that he truly thought was something awful, I would want him to speak up against me too. Morals come before the party line, every time.

@HaVeNII7 hey man, I want your commitment on never using the word asshole again, for women everywhere to show you are not part of that sexist word. Do I have your word?

If you can explain to me how its sexist in a meaningful way, that makes sense. Sure.

No fucking shit they're gonna counterprotest and mock you. Have you not been watching the news? Or rather, the reports not aired by mainstream media? No one wants to risk seeing a "peaceful protest" turn into a riot and lay waste to their town, especially for a cause they don't care about.

You gotta build up some awareness. When the world is practically vilifying white people, there are going to be those who are vocal about being proud of their skin as their way of lashing back at culture.

Youre talking about a protest of only 30-40 people. Defending individuals driving by screaming racial slurs at us. Defending people doing it to me, when I was protesting alone. Threatening me with physical harm.

You have to learn to decouple peoples so called political views from how they actually are as a person, which can be far different from what their political leanings would indicate, I have found this time and again to be true. Peoples political views generally function in a bubble separate from how they act and behave the rest of their life, whether they are kind, compassionate etc....

Politics functions as a team sport game to some people, and its not to be considered more seriously than that when it comes to defining their character.

I would argue that you need to learn that regardless of what you say your views are, there are moral lines in the sand that you have to draw. Once a candidate crosses those lines, you need to be willing to stand up against them. Failure to do so is simply putting party above your own moral compass. It is not okay. Your support enables, and empowers a leader. And in turn, that leader empowers his followers. You need to be very careful. For example, you can be against racism, but by supporting trump, you ARE helping to enable it.

Were going to talk again today about it. Ive been preparing a few arguments last night, and this morning. So far, these are the ones I have that pertain to us, his immediate family. Took out some of the names, and specifically what people said to me, and others. For reference, I have an older sister, a younger sister, and a younger brother. My younger sister is bi, as am I, and my brother is autistic.

1. The Trump administration changed the definition of domestic violence to only acknowledge physical harm as domestic violence. Your mother was abused. You know there are severe psychological after affects of this. Why do you support it?
2. During a talk with Billy Bush, Trump said, I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, Im automatically attracted to beautiful - I just start kissing them. Its like a magnet. Just kiss. I dont even wait. And when youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything. This man just said on tape that he can sexually assault your wife. Your daughters. Why do you support him?
3. In May, 2019, Trump opposed the Equality Act, which was an amendment to the Civil Rights Act, guaranteeing LGBTQ+ citizens their right to not be discriminated against. Your daughter and I are bisexual. He openly opposed the act which granted us the same protections that you have. Why do you support him?
4. On live television, Trump made fun of a man with a disability. He normalizes mocking people with disabilities in doing so. Your son is autistic. And he is not an idiot. One day, hes going to realize what he did, and that you continued your support. And its going to hurt like Hell. Would you be comfortable with me getting him, right now, showing him the video, and then telling him you support that man? Why do you support him?
5. Just a few days ago, Trump posted a video praising a man who was shouting White power! By praising him, he is normalizing and enabling racist behavior throughout the country. During my time protesting, I was mocked and harassed. (We live in a small, redneck town. 99% white, just a couple hours from Bethel, OH if that helps give an idea of the area.) Dozens of people drove by shouting obscenities at me. Dozens drove by the young women of color protesting with me, calling them horrible things too. That night, while I was protesting alone at the court house, I had a man approach me and imply he was going to hurt me. He didnt, but I was certainly scared of what could have potentially happened in the moment. By supporting him, you help to enable, and focus their behavior by proxy. Why do you support him?
6. Trump argues that shootings are due to mentally ill monsters who have access to firearms. He has expressed interest in making it harder to purchase a firearm. However, he rolled back a policy that Obama put into place, which had made it harder to obtain a firearm if you are mentally unwell. How do you explain that contradiction, as well as his rhetoric that has empowered these individuals in the past?

If anyone can help me make any other arguments, or make these ones better, Id be totally appreciative. I want to really push him, with evidence he cant just ignore.

Need articles for it. Actually, if you guys dont mind helping me out, I need articles for any time hes commented on...

1. LGBTQ+ rights.
2. Mental health
3. Womens rights

Frankly, Im looking for some of the most offensive things he has said, done, or passed. Even if its well known, I wouldnt mind you sharing it with me. Im gonna be digging on my own time, too.

He literally admitted to being a Hunter in the first game. Said that hed pulled the same act injured trick to get someone to stop their car, then kill them and take their things.

He is 110% not a good man.

Trump tweeting the White power! video was pretty much the last straw for me. Decided to start calling people out on it. Told him the fact that he was still supporting him was deplorable, and that he should be ashamed of himself.

Apparently this makes me the bad guy, though. Am I an asshole in doing so?

Make sure that youre light enough for a fast roll. Also, look up how to get the Dark Wood Grain Ring. Weapon choice obviously matters too.

But youre not going to be getting wildly fast speeds. For that, check out Demons Souls Bloodborne, or Sekiro. Both are faster than Dark Souls.

They are good games story wise, but the moment to moment gameplay is pretty generic and doesn't try to do anything different than what is already out there.

I'm about 16 hours into TLOU2 and it plays exactly like Uncharted 4. I still think in terms of gameplay the new Tomb Raider series did it far better than Uncharted.

But for some reason Naughty Dog games get graded on the story and characters and never on its gameplay.

I look at it as an if it aint broke, dont fix it situation. What would you like to be added to the gameplay? Keep in mind that it needs to be mechanics that keep the grounded feeling its going for.

The only things Id have added, wouldve been more stealth options. Dragging bodies after killed, interrogating enemies when grabbed similar to MGSV, etc.

yes. anti asian racism has risen in the US ever since the virus and it just flares up more and more as Trump keeps saying stupid shit. what pisses me off is i have a younger sister who is adopted from china. and my dad is a trump supporter. and he doesn't see the connection. I keep trying to explain to him how trump is making my sister's life worse but he refuses to understand and always says I am overreacting to trump "having a little fun"

I see. Alright. Thanks for helping me to understand.

Why would you call it "Kung" Flu?

I dont. But I got a chuckle out of it the first time I heard it. Just thought it was a funny play on the word.

Zikten posted...

it sounds stupid but the reason it's a problem is because it influences dumb racists into furthering their hate for asians. he puts it in their heads that asians are to blame for the virus and they then attack asians, even when some of them are not even chinese, because they are idiots who don't know the difference or care. even when the actual chinese are still also innocent because they had nothing to do with a government on the other side of the planet that their only connection to is its the current government for the homeland that their maybe their grandparents were born from

if trump insists on his dumbass campaign, he should at least stick to calling it the CCP virus or the Xi virus or something. but he's stupid stupid to do that

So essentially, the reason people say it is racist, is because it normalizes, and subtly encourages racists to hold their xenophobic, discriminatory beliefs? And that by doing so, we make it harder for Asian-Americans to get away from their discrimination?

Genuinely curious. It always just struck me as a funny play on words, but Ive heard a lot of people say that referring to that is racist.

Probably a dumb question, but it seems like it would make more sense. Just an example, universal healthcare, restructuring of police, etc etc.

Why cant we just vote? Youve got X time frame to vote on it, and if 51% or more vote for something, the change goes into affect. If you dont vote within the time frame, its just obviously not counted, and assumed that you dont care.

I understand that smaller states need fair representation, but for issues like this, where it would affect everyone in the nation, doesnt it make more sense for each person to have an equally weighted voice?

They could create their own unique time period, story, etc, and just have you be one of the Avatars.

Follow the Avatars training of learning more elements, which would Naturally increase the complexity of the combat system as you played through.

I think it could be a VERY big hit if done right. Give it the right treatment and budget.

I started the series with 4 Golden on the Vita. Definitely one of, if not the best JRPG Ive ever played. Was such a blast.

Well, open carry is a thing here. I could always get a handgun, and if I ever see it happening, kill the ones trying to lynch. Extreme example, and I dont think it would come to it, but its an idea.

Other than that...not much I can do, really. Ill keep an eye out for people, like I would anybody. Try and make sure everyone around me is okay. Report anything that I hear of, publicly shame anyone who I find out is racist. Vote for people who can change things, obviously. What else? Not a lot.
