Useless Thread MDCCXCIX: This Week in K-Pop (fromis_9, Rocket Punch comebacks)

[John Price]

You're right, she doesn't.

However, given her celebrity status, to deny that she can affect the discourse is downright naive, if not outright malicious.

She's not some no-name citizen saying these things in the privacy of her home. She's a celebrity broadcasting her opinions on social media. If she doesn't want backlash, she should consider not broadcasting her opinions

Okay

And you're free to ignore such opinion

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

I don't wish to sound callous here but she's entitled to wacky beliefs and I'm entitled to not heed them

How do you not understand the difference between having an opinion and broadcasting that opinion on social media?

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

Okay

By broadcasting her opinion, she is opening herself up to criticism.

This is f***ing pointless, why do I even bother with you sometimes

 

[Siamese Dream]

The thing with JKR is people don't really challenge her correctly, the same people who say how terrible a human she is are the ones sending her death threats and shit and this just causes her to double down and claim victimhood like she did in that blog post

I think there is room for debate on the topic because the trans issue is a complicated one and the concerns of TERFs like her should be listened to and properly addressed, the main problem with her views are that the justifications for them are stuff that is straight out of the far-right playbook, like "men will assault me in toilets"

I don't follow jk Rowling on social media

Even if I did did she outspokenly voice her objections ala Gina Carano

 

[John Price]

As far as I know and I could be wrong the commentary that offends is in a book

Do not buy the book

No, that is just the latest in a long string of things involving her on this issue

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

If you don't want your children to hear it, just don't listen to it.

Can you even somewhat grasp how stupid that logic is? Ignoring something doesn't make it cease to exist.

 

[John Price]

Sorry for not stringently following jk Rowling gate

So offensive podcasts should be banned got it

 

[Ceremony]

I'm sure I've said it before, but I'll not have criticism of The Island and the transformative effect Scarlett Johansson in a tight white bodysuit had on my youth.

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

No, just the one with your boy Shane Gillis

 

[John Price]

Busy in the nerve center Mark

 

[John Price]

No, just the one with your boy Shane Gillis

Lmao

You've seen the shit the lounge said about ix and dogs

What shane said pales in comparison

Cancel the lounge

 

[John Price]

Haha did you know Mike EATS DOGS

HAHA

SO FUNNY!

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

Cancel the lounge

Again, you fail to understand the difference between a celebrity broadcasting their opinion and regular citizens having private conversations

Shane isn't a celebrity

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

Shane isn't a celebrity

Fine then, public figure.

Someone running a popular* podcast is clearly not a regular citizen

lol, the wrestling board didn't even make a thread for the Backlash PPV that was on Sunday?

There was a zombie lumberjack match and people said it was the stupidest thing ever

 

[Siamese Dream]

I'm sure I've said it before, but I'll not have criticism of The Island and the transformative effect Scarlett Johansson in a tight white bodysuit had on my youth.

Of course, once they escape that's the only good thing about it

 

[Siamese Dream]

Sorry for not stringently following jk Rowling gate

Well if you didn't even know that you can't express an informed opinion and start ranting

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

God damn spam callers leaving me spam voicemails.

Maybe I should buy an airhorn and blast it into my phone whenever it's a spam caller

WWE is dead

 

[John Price]

I don't agree with you often but we agree wwe sucks now.

Like nobody watched backlash.

They have a steel cage on nxt and nobody cared

 

[John Price]

@Sega Dreamcast I also don't know if you know but wwe basically laid off their entire roster or 80 % of it
