Does Anyone Else Think Reverend Budde Is Kind Of Fine

i think the takes that have gotten me the most hate on here are:

children are people and it’s not appropriate to randomly insult them

smoking etiquette is generally context dependent and “this is rude” isn’t the same as “this is an unforgivable sin”

it’s not women and minorities’ fault that white men become nazis

It's not progressive to say "women are oppressed so they should be brutalized in films for the sake of realism". Hate to break it to you, but most men are sadistic towards women, not empathetic. The male film director who recycles the violent pornography he’s consumed isn’t challenging anything. He's only desensitizing an entire audience to cruelty against women.

I hate how a woman's pride and love for her anatomy has been reduced to something political and "terfy". I remember being 17 in an advanced art class that just happened to be all girls and making vulva pendants necklaces with each other, and I doubt any of us had any inkling of what radical feminism was or what trans exclusionary actually meant.

In a world dominated by phallocentrism and only sexualized depictions of the female form, it's important for young women to learn to love her body without having to sexualize, commodify or objectify it. Let us love our body with only pure love, and let us show that love through art, without demonizing us for it.

I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.

No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.

However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.

It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.

I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.

“emasculating” is a euphemism for “demeaning in a way only women should have to suffer”

You’re very, very highly regarded.

“You will never be a woman” lmao it’s nice to be affirmed as a trans man. Transphobia failed successfully

I’m so sick of how hating rich women is disguised as just hating capitalism.

Yes Katy Perry went to space for no reason. Hey why is Jeff Bezos selling rich people trips to space on his penis rocket? Doesn’t matter, Katy Perry was doing pretend feminism. Yes Taylor Swift having a private jet is ridiculous. Did anyone else complain about literally any other private jets? No? Just Taylor Swifts. Huh.

This is a female "he/they". I'm so exhausted by seeing these people become convinced that they're "bad at being a girl" when they're literally female.

men who hate feminism hate what feminism has done

You will never be a woman btw! Thanks for going 100% mask off and once again making it clear why you creatures don’t belong in our spaces. The transgender community continues to show us exactly why they aren’t safe around women and girls.

Sex is why women are opressed

Gender is how
