This Korra fandom bullshit is going to be the death of the last bit of my childhood. Not only are my ex-idols up their own asses with pride, but there are actually people in this fandom enabling this BULLSHIT behavior with their BULLSHIT privileged outlooks on their own BULLSHIT society.
THIS IS…
so sifu-kisu shouldn’t be allowed to exercise his right to the first amendment because it offends you? don’t you think that’s a little bit “privileged” of you?
First of all, did I EVER fucking say that? No. I said EVERYONE in this fandom can express however they feel, whenever they want. No one told Sifu to shut up - they told him he was being offensive and how he was being offensive. The thing is when you get too up your own ass you assume anyone who has a different opinion than you is just “butthurt” or “sensitive” when they have as much right to feel what they feel as anyone else. And when you start acting like an uppity child, people WILL call you out on it.
Second of all, there’s no way you can be this fucking basic. Really.
actually, it appears a good handful of people were very insulting and disrespectful to the guy and treated him with a lot of hostility, sort of like you are now. whether or not i find people taking offense to his reblog ridiculous (which i do, by the way, and i’ll explain that a little more in detail in a second), i don’t think anyone deserves to be treated rudely like he was over anything.
now to get to the actual content, i’m just going to get straight to the point and say that his post was not sexist. pointing out common gender differences and/or gender tropes is merely observational humor. sexism is gender discrimination, which is clearly not what sifu-kisu was doing, as no one was being discriminated against. would you be offended if he reblogged a joke about how men are terrible at putting things back into the fridge in an orderly fashion, or if he reblogged a joke about how men are generally bad at multitasking?
Yeah, people are being disrespectful because they’re mad, and he’s being disrespectful because he thought it was “funny.” And if you think this was a personal attack on Sifu AS A PERSON then you have some re-reading to do. And PLEASE don’t get me started on your bullshit definition of sexism. I’m neither going to explain this basic information to you nor waste my time trying to convince you your privileged opinion of what is and what is not sexist is indeed bullshit as well.
I suggest you find another blog regarding the REALITY of sexism and stereotyping rather than how YOU perceive it as a privileged and/or ignorant individual who can easily brush it off as “no big deal.”
And if you’re going to ask me to spoon-feed you the obvious with every post I make on my blog, I suggest you unfollow me now because I honestly don’t have the patience.
oh, don’t worry, i don’t follow you.
on that note, what’s with all this “privileged” noise? how do you know that someone is privileged based on an opinion they hold? you keep calling me privileged, but i’m curious, please explain how you know that i am privileged
Notice I said privileged and/or ignorant. AND/OR.
how do you know i’m ignorant? am i ignorant because i don’t choose to accept your opinion on it, or agree with you? do you believe that your opinion has to be correct, and mine is, in turn, ignorant?
You’re ignorant because you aren’t aware of very REAL social repercussions of historically oppressive sentiments. You’re ignorant because you invalidate other people’s justified emotions. You’re ignorant because you have yet to give me a VALID reason why the people that are mad at Sifu are just too “sensitive.” And you’re ignorant because you assume pointing out the obvious lack of logic in an unfunny stereotype is worse than encouraging the stereotyping itself.
I’m done with you. I’m going to bed.
i don’t invalidate anything. if you think my comments make your emotions feel less valid to you, or that sifu reblogging a generally harmless gender joke makes the legend of korra less enjoyable to you, then that’s your problem.
i believe people getting mad at sifu are oversensitive, but that is my opinion, i can’t really support that with fact. but as i said before, if you’d like to live your life getting offended over things that the majority of the rest of the world doesn’t see a problem with, then that’s all good — i imagine that sort of thinking would make you very unhappy (which you have proven with your extremely angry responses while i’ve only been asking questions), but whatever floats your boat.
to be honest though i’m not sure what planet you’re from, but i have never been around a crowd of people that would get offended by a joke about men helping their wives with opening jars. it’s actually pretty endearing. don’t you think it’s nice that people sometimes count on men to open jars? i mean, if you don’t want a man to open your jar for you feel free to open your own jars but is it really so bad of a stereotype that men are good at opening jars?
and okay goodnight!!!
