  • As with all jokes it matters who the audience is. My friends can make off-colour jokes with me, I can reciprocate with off-jokes. But I would never do this with people not fully aware of my actual opinions. This also counts to clear misogynistic jokes.

    My closest female friends they would be fine with it, they’ve known me for years, I’ve supported them in their lowest and they know I would never mean the a horrible thing I say. They’ll happily reciprocate with some toxic male jokes, or some gay jokes. That said, even when I make them they are both clear intended to be jokes, but if they ever looked uncomfortable then it would be my guilt to bear, as at the end, as the audience they are meant to enjoy the joke, not be sad or hurt by it.

    Making them to strangers is a big no-no, and if strangers are in the room with you at the time (like a party) you also have to “match the energy” of your friend. That means don’t randomly do something misogynistic that they would understand to be a joke, but strangers would not. I think this is the hardest for most people as they don’t consider that strangers witnessing could also be accidental audiences.


  • we should be shooting: the millionaires who hire the poachers

    Damn, I was looking forward to eating them. :(

    But you’re entirely right. Obviously the poachers do the hunting, but there are people rich enough out there that put a price on rhinos to begin with, they are the real problem. They wouldn’t be hunted if there was no incentive.









  • In general, you should have enough tolerance to host discussions and debates for people you disagree with

    You weren’t looking for a discussion, you were looking to make a statement. You weren’t there to listen, just to preach. If my opinion was “slavery was good, so I don’t see why you’re complaining about it” I’d be shown the door in plenty of good communities due to the inflammatory nature of my discourse. It would also be clear I’m not there to discuss anything.

    I’ve also shown you it’s not an opinion rooted in science as they do classify more sexes, so in the end it’s a social opinion you hold, and tbh that’s not worth a lot (and definitely not worthy of the discussion you crave).

    I therefore believe that the whole idea of non-binary is pushed primarily as a grift by the medical industry to sell “treatments” for gender dysphoria

    You know Pakistan & India also recognizes a third gender? The Hijra. I guess the medical community has a long history of this grift all the way into antiquity such as Ancient Egypt (they wrote and described their notion of a third gender) or even somewhat recently the Mughal Empire (15th century). But yes it’s totally a grift.

    Your lack of knowledge isn’t mine to fix though. You’ve set your opinion to be something malicious because you want it to be, but even a quick glance at a wiki page would tell you the much longer history.

    The rest of your comment veers off into randomness mentioning religion and how you talk about human nature as if you’re an expert, and I think we’ve spoken enough already. I’m not going down a long windy irrelevant discussion on the matter.

    You’re free to have the last word, I will be going further with my day, my best to you.
