The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Again the RMer confused passivity with morality. The RMer is a very bad person who confuses inaction or inability to act with goodness!
Stop repeating Nietzschean cliches that have been recently reappropriated as Jordan Peterson cliches. Nietzsche is rolling in his grave I swear to god.
I had one latinx student last year who used it when referring about themself in an essay, so I had opportunity to use it a few times in their presence.
My general view here is that I’m not going to bend over backwards to use all the latest terminology just to keep up. But if someone signals that it’s important to them and would help them experience a more inclusive space, it’s no sweat off my nuts to make that accommodation.
This only legitimizes the latest bourgeois etiquette speech codes that breeds exclusion and division. So now because of you more people not up on terminology or not willing to participate will be at risk at their jobs. You should have just explained that they are welcome, but that it didn't require special language.
Very disappointed in you. You didn't act correctly. You acted in a way that avoided conflict and hurt feeling. But no sweat of your nuts though, right?
I was just reading about the latest elliot page/jordan peterson controversy and the trans kids are like, "you call dwayne johnson The Rock but can't remember the name Elliot Page?" Unreal point for the trans kids. Imma be parroting that all over the place.
An enigma of a man shaped hole in the wall between reality and the soul of the devil.

Have you been bombarded with JBP ads on YouTube lately, too? So ridiculous, but I guess he's back with a vengeance. I don't like his new, post breakdown schtick, but Twitter of course was wrong to ban him.

Be better.
Is this a real post?
You want to be inclusive? Be inclusive. Be friendly. Be neighborly. Open your doors to outsiders. Provide food or gifts. Practice brotherly love (fuck your gender neutrality, it applies to women as well).
What you do isn't inclusive. It's capitulation and conflict avoidance disguised as virtue. It's prostration.
Your cowardice diminishes everyone. Stand up for yourself, and in doing so you stand up for everyone! That's inclusivity!

I'm not cool with 18 year olds washing their dicks in the shower next to 13 year old girls after high school swim practice.
Just phenomenal flex to toss your transphobia into a discussion that didn't really call for it for no reason.
FYI, if your point is that 18-year-olds shouldn't be showering with young teens, you didn't need to make it about trans-panic.
Like Lantinx, the example makes no sense in context of it doesn’t skirt the edges of acceptability.

You're presuming too much malicious intent is behind inclusive language. It's simply about being compassionate. And even if some people push this part of the progressive agenda in a problematic way it's still not worth focusing on, and it's certainly not a reason to revert to the right.

As a Latino I feel Latinx is one of the dumbest things out there. I’m fine with calling people whatever they want, but I’m also confident Latinos don’t want to be called this. Spanish speakers can’t even pronounce it. Not on board with Jorge’s Latine, either. Latino is good.

lol you conservatives fantasize about some bizarre stuff. Is it because it gets you off by any chance? How often do you play this one out in your head?
