(110,159 posts)someone put the shit out, and calling it out, i get a hide cause i offend. how do you not offend, when talking about the offensive.
we are told we know when we are writing something that will be hid. we are to the point where any subject that is offensive, merely talking about it offends people so can be hidden.
that is what i do. i call out the offensive. so.... who is gonna get the hide.
but, we are talking about people that never get hides, here. people that work so damn hard to avoid hides while talking about the offensive. one poster even runs them by me first. (i am the wrong person, lol. i am clueless what will be hidden). and yet still they get a hide. merely by offending those, while talking about a subject that is offensive.
you are so balanced golly, so let me ask. a poster puts up an article stating japan has vending machines on corner streets sellimg schoolgirls soiled undies to grown men.
another poster comes along and says we should be accepting of this, even respectful to the grown man. (i have already been told i am not allowed to be offended by the offensive). the poster said we should not feel ick, we should not shame the grown man, we should hold no value judgment on the man.
here i sit. what is the conclusion of grown men buying soiled underwear of girls, i ask myself? men buy the soiled undies of schoolgirls to fantasize about these girls. right? that is factual. what are they fantasizing about? conversation? respect? helping them with their homework?
no.
so. how do i convey what these men are fantasizing about and why i get to feel ick, shame these men and have a value judgment on these grown men.
do i say these grown men fantasize about making love to these girls? not accurate. any woman raped would be offended. sex? still not accurate cause that is not what it is. rape is the reality. but, i figure that will be hidden. so i choose the vulgar fuck. that is disconnecting from a consensual act as much as i can without stating rape.
i am talking about a vulgar subject.
how am i suppose to challenge this belief that was put on the board without offending. we can say i could have just not connected the dots. wrapped it up all pretty so it was easily digestible. but it is not pretty. keeping it pretty is a huge part of the problem.
i see more and more posts hidden because they may offend the jury, about a subject that is offensive. and it is telling me, the offensive is allowed. challenging the offensive is not.
