Hello, Tumblr. It’s been a while.
It’s sad that the world has lost someone like Aaron Swartz. Our society is set up to punish people like him. Young, ambitious, and ready to change the world. The boomer generation won’t allow that. They won’t allow us to advance in the world while they cling to every resource and entitlement they can find to prop up themselves and their crumbling worldview.
If I were a baby boomer, I would be scared shitless right now. We’re on to them and our generation is on the move to fix the world they plundered and left for dead. I think they’ll eventually wake up one day and find out that when you don’t gracefully step down from your position, you are thrown from it.
Did I seriously just see a Pay Per View advertisement for an India v. Pakistan cricket match while watching Law and Order?
I saw someone get called transphobic earlier because they made a typo (leaving the ‘fe’ off of ‘female’)
I expect this person to be tried in The Hague as a war criminal? Can we make a documentary about them like the Kony one? We’re dealing with the same level of evil.
Which page of the Tumblr handbook has the part about how one perceived slur or incorrect pronoun immediately discredits someones support for gay or transsexual people?
I feel like it’s similar to reclaiming the word queer. I feel okay using it sparingly but it’s off limits to non-gay men
I agree to an extent. If I have to hear the word, I would like to hear it from another gay person. I just used it myself actually to describe the screeching ball of existential human failure that is Perez Hilton. From one gay guy to another, I don’t feel like faggot is offensive at all.
Although, when referring to Perez Hilton, faggot would probably be one of the first three words I would use to describe him. A repulsive word for a repulsive person.
Can’t we all agree that faggot is a repulsive word? Can we stop trying to take it back like its the coolest fucking thing in the world. Seriously, anyone who tries to spin that word to their own meaning needs to seriously reexamine their thought process and decide if they want to continue that train of thought lest their mentality be unfavorably compared to various farm animals. At least the farm animals taste good.
