You assume that he's desperate. If there's one thing that I've realized online is that some people are so devoid of logical and rational thought that they truly believe they are winning while having being thoroughly thrashed in an exchange.

Or maybe not even dumb... it can just be entering an argument thinking that you're right and continuously and effortlessly reframing the argument to continue that illusion.

Nobody has answered my original question of why or how Santa being gay adds anything to his myth.


It adds inclusion which is important for a not-insignificant portion of the population that is being included.

You likely don't care if it's important to them, because it's not important to you. But because it doesn't affect you, you instead have to get very upset that they are depicting a character the wrong way.

The funny thing about this all you'd need to do is add violence to this, and suddenly you could be a convincing radical terrorist.

I am not surprised by this low of a post. Usually the overly "progressive" types spew the same venom they would condemn others for.


This is a low topic.

You should expect venom as the natural reaction to venom.

CE: "Not wanting to date all black people or any race is completely reasonable"


It seems like CE is usually 50/50 on that topic. A lot of people conclude that is actually racist.


The people that think it's not racist seem to me to have a high overlap with the people who scorn others who do not want to engage in relationships with extreme ideological differences.

If I was dating a Trump supporter, there are a lot of things I'd need to know, especially if she still was one. Because we're likely to disagree on a lot of things.

I could date a Bernie supporter, hell, I've date conservatives before. But anyone who does date people with strong political views that are different than your own strongly held political views knows that there will be friction as a result.

I don't doubt that he may have done something that was inappropriate. I sincerely doubt what he does would make him fit the norms of being a predator. Which I think is what is getting lost in this conversation. But oh well. The more room in Hollywood, the better off us up and coming performers are!

The irony of the US being so afraid of election rigging while they rig or try to rig elections all the time.

Foreign relations do not operate on a live and let live policy. Interfering in foreign elections serves our best interests, whereas letting foreign groups interfere in ours is not


What a creepy ass post, big brother knows best right?


The U.S. interest is not based on any sense of moral good, nor does it necessarily mean the good of its citizens. On a completely moral standpoint, her claims are harmful and relatively callous. However, they are well within the framework of how the U.S. already operates. It wasn't like she said something revolutionary.

Incidentally, is Harvey Weinstein in jail yet? Is Bill Cosby? Or - like most rape scenarios - is the alleged suspect impossible to bring a conviction against because it's simply that difficult to prove beyond reasonable doubt? We don't actually put most rapists in jail. Most of them don't even go to court. Rapists usually do get protected.


Also are you saying that rape culture is the fact that our laws have limitations and that proof is necessary to put them in prison?

Male victims are marginalized and ridiculed because of a social culture that exists where rape is pervasive and considered normal. You might call such a culture "rape culture", because it's a handy term for a complicated thing to have to say.


No.

Male victims are marginalized and ridiculed because emotional trauma that happens to men is marginalized and ridiculed.

People are horrified by women getting raped.
