Excelsior.

sarahell very much otm

On the other hand, it's noteworthy that we've been discussing sociocultural inequity when it comes to speech/communication/interactions, and at some points, it appears to me (at least) that this thread functions as a way to express things when one feels that inequity going on in a thread and being involved in it, is uncomfortable for some of the same reasons that "less privileged" feel uncomfortable in discussions with more privileged ppl.

ok but the thread is bumped almost exclusively by white men who roll their eyes when "privilege" comes up in a thread

sorry i don't actually care and don't really want to argue about this, enjoy this thread

I wonder what thread flopson's on about...

I think it's funny you bring up race when you've aligned yourself with ilx's most egregious exotifiers, as if you can't, for example, find a family resemblance among the "definitive goon cru anthems" and see why the thread is a gross (not to mention narcissistic) project. I don't know what you'd find attractive about White savior race hucksters like Weingarten and deej, the former who is still bitching about tokenism in year end polls as if he's some kind of hero to the oppressed and the latter who makes almost daily anecdotal assertions in his blundering quest to convey his knowingness about Black culture, except that you align with their racially manichean view of the world.

And you were the guy who was grandstanding about the company that, even if it doesn't end up reducing overall transportation coverage to one star neighborhoods with one star, ie Black and Hispanic clients, will put immigrant poc cab drivers out of work in favor of their "sharing" economy White counterparts.

I barely scrolled up, but I can tell that these posters are not all White and not all men.

^could have been the start of the clusterfuck ppl have been praying for

i was just referring to Mordy & darragh, who used to frequently post in this thread when a "social justice" flare-up was happening

as for listening to rap music and participating in threads about it: guilty as charged! i don't think it is gross or narcissistic to post youtubes of rap songs but YMMV. i also don't think whiney or deej are "White savior race hucksters"

as for me being racist for sort of defending uber in one thread one time... sorry!

where i live most Uber drivers and cab drivers are POC, so that doesn't line up with my xp. but i'd be happy to talk and argue about it more

you align with their racially manichean view of the world

lol i missed this on my first skim thru your post

i'm ready to go all in if bam's game

flopson i'd think you'd prefer me or deems posting our dissent here than chiming in on a given thread whenever we're annoyed by the outrage of the day

maybe it's not that you dislike the pass-agg dissent but rather you dislike not being given the opportunity to demonstrate your right-on political bonafides in the correct thread

don't want to spend my day defending deej & whiney but just out of curiosity: what's so bad about sometimes calling out what they perceive as racial bias in their field? and calling deej's writing a "blundering quest to convey his knowingness about Black culture" is pretty shitty. deej is a pretty great journalist of rap music. he (and whiney) do like, really great interviews and stuff. maybe read some stuff he writes professionally and you wouldn't have this impression of his work?

Privilege right here

I think a lot of them should have been shamed more for their Nazi sympathies and ultimately they all should be shot.

Those must have been some awful baby shower gifts.

Let's not rush to the right conclusion here

I think it's funny you bring up race when you've aligned yourself with ilx's most egregious exotifiers, as if you can't, for example, find a family resemblance among the "definitive goon cru anthems" and see why the thread is a gross (not to mention narcissistic) project.

argument that supposedly kicked it off was about demo vs album REALiTi

Cool ratio of attn itt kiu ilx

who said muslims can't integrate into the american way of life

you can't just go around talking shit about the read/unread dot

this is like pvmic meets pvmooc

Well, at least I know someone was in fact fucking with the gas flow to the lights.

what about we just have a poll for worst ilxors and throw out the top 10?

or best 10, either way

We ban the IP that voted the most.

TWU, please take this as a calm observation rather than a snark, but sometimes you get very heated and aggressive for somebody complaining about other people being mean

I KILL YOU.

okay lol

But seriously: watch me carefully if you are interested -- I don't pick on people for shits and giggles. I go full on hardcore in certain situations, but never just cruelly.

twu is just ilx with the gloves off and he's more consistent than idk __________ _________ or ___ _________ or someone like that

xp vanity tbh all vanity

the aim of satire is to instruct and correct

x-post to d-mac: Oh, I don't suggest that any sane person would have any reason to observe the methodologies of my verbal bombings, just that if you were nuts enough to analyze them, you'd see I don't attack people out of nowhere to hurt them.

Accepted

dum-dums

Dum-dum is a silly word. I used it in the singular on someone who missed my point utterly and mocked me sarcastically. I am sorry if you read dum-dum with a straight face -- I can't say it that way!

you use it all the time

are we going to spam every ilx meta thread w/ this today? let's move this party to lux.

sure

meta fatigue

Yes, I use the word dum-dum all the time. It is a very very mild expression of derision, and is intended as such. Ya dum-dum. (The first two sentences are response, the third is the one I had second thoughts about and decided not to post.)

lol yeah I admit to raising an eyebrow at yr occasional bonkers rageposts but "dum-dum" wouldn't even register
