| Topic | Lockdowns for Potential School Shooters is giving kids PTSD |
| legendary_zell 12/31/18 1:54:16 AM #11 | Lunar_Savage posted... We had lockdown drills when I was in school and this was mid to late 90s stuff..wtf happened to the next generation to make them so weak? There's been a lot more shootings since your generation. It's a much more present threat in the minds of modern kids. It's happened to kindergartners. A lot of these drills are also badly designed, to the point where people don't know it's a drill and someone actually runs through the school making loud, explosion style noises to make it "real". --- |
| Topic | California organizers cancel Women's March due to 'overwhelmingly white' partici |
| legendary_zell 12/29/18 11:12:35 PM #25 | There shouldn't be a quota for the number of minorities at a march, I think we can all agree on that. But depending on what the demographics of the area are, it could have been a really bad look to go throughout with it. Intersectional feminism is important an having a 95 percent white protest in an 80 percent non white neighborhood doesn't portray the type of solidarity you're looking for in a march. Political marches are literally 100 percent about solidarity and optics. They need to do a much better job of outreach to the regular people in the community, clearly. That's the main issue here, and they really should have realized that before even announcing a march. Political activists should know who will probably show up to a march. --- |
| Topic | I'm a black american that voted for trump AMA |
| legendary_zell 12/29/18 10:24:01 PM #24 | SpiralDrift posted... I don't think there's any shame in admitting it at this point. People just wanted something different and Hillary wasn't even a viable option on the other side of that. Literally every president of the past 30-40 years have turned out worse than what they campaigned on. This makes no sense. He said and did so many heinous things throughout his life and during the campaign. His actions towards the central park 5, accusations of housing discrimination etc. Then there's the fact that he was always going to usher in a wave of anti-black conservatives gaining power. Then there's his actions after winning such as his response to Charlottesville and reducing investigations of racist domestic terrorists,reduction of civil rights investigations, etc. There's quite a goddamn lot to be ashamed of, especially whenever there's was the option to not vote, to write in someone else, or to generally vote for someone else. --- |

| legendary_zell 12/29/18 8:33:05 PM #19 | The libs and lefties are just hating on the bad orange man for no reason and can't even say why they hate him tho. Or so I've been told. --- |
| Topic | "Moderates" who attack liberals at every given opportunity but leave |
| legendary_zell 12/29/18 6:51:28 PM #217 | The specific conservative views you have and their severity matters too. If you like weed, don't want to ban gay marriage, and wouldn't mind higher taxes on the rich, that doesn't outweigh you supporting a muslim ban or a ban on immigration or supporting racial profiling/militarized policing/mass incarceration. That's the type of thing I see a lot here and elsewhere and people act surprised when told those views are incompatible with liberal/progressive/leftist values. --- |

And that's what it is, bigotry. Lots of people here may agree with you, but your language and views are wrong and reflect badly on you as people. I'm not accusing you of punching someone, I'm accusing you of taking the action of typing transphobic statements. That's an action. And it's transphobic because you are misgendering and insulting the appearance of a person you know is in fact transgender and you are targeting their transgenderness in doing so. It's no different from seeing a video of a black person robbing a store and making derogatory statements about their skin color and hair, instead of just saying robbery is bad. What you've done here is the very definition of transphobic. I'm not a bad person or a victim for pointing that out to you. --- |

Lots of people here may agree with you, but your language and views are wrong and reflect badly on you as people. You're not fooling anybody, man. We can all see what you wrote, you were being a horrible person throughout this and other topics. You attacked her appearance in a blatantly transphobic way, anyone with eyes can see that. You can deflect to her behavior when called out all you want, but that doesn't erase your actions. --- |

| legendary_zell 12/28/18 9:17:09 AM #180 | _RETS_ posted... legendary_zell posted...It's very clear that the real issue here is that a lot of CE is blatantly transphobic or believes that all transpeople are mentally ill, or delusional, or cross dressers. That's why people are going out of their way to call her a man here. This post is absolutely insane. You're one of the people I'm talking about. Just in this topic, you've balled her a male, a dude, a clear male, a guy in drag, and a hooker. You pointedly misgendered her multiple times. Sorry if I have a hard time believing you have a problem with misgendering and that your "it's about the tone" and "stress" arguments aren't secondary to that. --- |
| Topic | Why do people consider Obama the first black president? |

That's why people are going out of their way to call her a man here. CE will take any excuse to voice these opinions. Don't think I'm defending a violent outburst or threats, those were definitely wrong. But many on CE straight up don't care about and actively encourage misgendering as a type of social power play. --- |
| Topic | America peaked in the year _____ |
| legendary_zell 12/27/18 7:34:46 PM #36 | Prolly 2015. Way too many people weren't included in the "golden age" of the 40s-60s. At least half the population in women and then every type of minority group you can imagine. That was an especially big problem up until the 2000s. The first decade had Bush, wars, and the great recession. The economy was basically at its current state in 2015 and reality hadn't yet fallen off a cliff. --- |

| legendary_zell 12/23/18 4:31:41 PM #63 | He has better extra curriculars than damn near anyone, as evidenced by the fact that we're strangers discussing his college admissions on a dying videogame forum. The SAT isn't an unquestionable proxy for merit and chances of future success. --- |

| legendary_zell 12/15/18 12:22:10 AM #4 | I don't remember a single thing about the movie other than the fact that I disliked it. I have a habit of thoroughly discussing a movie with friends when I leave the movie. We left Thor 2 in near silence --- |
| Topic | Tucker Carlson: Immigration makes America poorer and dirtier |
| legendary_zell 12/14/18 5:40:35 PM #20 | This is particularly insane because a lot of those immigrants are janitors, cleaners, abdominal construction workers who literally make our whole country cleaner. This is blatantly bigoted, in or out of context. The context doesn't make this any better, it makes it worse. Context is not a magic word that absolves people of their terrible statement. It's not a trap card to own the libs. --- |
| Topic | Wired does a Musk expose. It's not pretty. |

| Topic | Johnson&Johnson knew for decades that asbestos had tainted its baby powder |
| legendary_zell 12/14/18 11:54:18 AM #31 | J&J has a long history of evil. They will get away with this by holding workers and lawmakers hostage for jobs. In a functioning system, someone would go to federal ass prison for this if we don't wanna put workers out of work. Companies simply view things like this as a business expense and something to hide because of the lack of consequences for doing so --- |
| Topic | When did Smash become a big title? |

| Topic | When did Smash become a big title? |
| legendary_zell 12/13/18 3:47:56 PM #61 | Brawl was the only game I've done a midnight release with friends for. It's the only game I checked for news for daily. That was based on the excellence of Melee and the activity of the online and offline community that was just as excited about it. I agree that the hype has been special since just before Brawl, there's nothing else like it in gaming. The closest is each new GTA. --- |

| Topic | Ex-Baylor frat president indicted on 4 counts of sex assault won't go to prison |
| legendary_zell 12/11/18 6:14:02 PM #8 | Why was the plea deal so lenient? Especially with that level of evidence? Of course we should be angry at the rapist and sickened for the victim, but we should also be livid at the judge that allowed this if the evidence was really that clear. This shows why many don't come forward, because there system often re-victimizes people by letting things like this happen. --- |
| Topic | What particular statements by Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson make them alt righ |
| legendary_zell 12/07/18 4:31:54 PM #74 | Ben Shapiro has said some heinous stuff about Muslims and Palestinians. Stuff that's beyond even regular republican craziness. They both are very culture war focused and talked about that war in a way that's very attractive to the alt-right. They wouldn't self identify as that though, and I wouldn't label them as that. I'd just call them wrong. --- |

| legendary_zell 11/26/18 12:32:24 PM #7 | Regardless of the reason she did it, it was the right thing to do and it had to be done, considering the Roy Moore situation at the time.

Reading that stuff has an effect on you're mind, just like reading a left wing conspiracy blog would. --- |

But it's doing exactly what Willie Horton did. Racist fear mongering, blaming opponents for being "soft" on minority crime, tying them to murders. It's trying to scare people with images of scary brown people, using loaded phrases like they're killing our people, etc. I doubt you'll agree that it's racist, but it's more egregious than Willie Horton was for sure. --- |

| legendary_zell 10/11/18 6:08:49 PM #34 | CyricZ posted... legendary_zell posted...They asked whether a controversial phrase is bad and then didn't define the phrase? That's not very useful. Everyone has their own interpretation of what it means. It doesn't mean they dislike the underlying value, they may just hate it when their opponents use it. For example, it's definitely political correctness to not be able to call deplorables deplorable. That's true to an extent, but it's incomplete. Someone who claims to dislike political correctness but doesn't want to be called out for being racist loves political correctness. Without defining it, it just becomes a cultural ink blot test. --- |
