Originally posted by GGG Avoiding the use of pronouns is not misgendering.
This is not what I took from "not using preferred pronouns", which kinda tainted my opinion of what you were arguing for (when combined with the fact that you constantly misgender me). If you're just avoiding pronouns entirely, it's whatever. It's like me *not* calling you subhuman filth and just referring to you by your name. That's fine. My analogy is completely invalid. Shoulda just clarified that earlier instead of trying to shoot down my analogy with the whole "insult" line of reasoning, which totally compounded my confusion. -
2019-04-03 at 8:50 PM UTC in Give me one good reason why I should refer to transgender people by their preferred pronounsYou identify as a human being, I see you as subhuman filth. Why is it wrong for me to intentionally call you and your family subhuman filth? They aren't white, so clearly they are. Herpaderp. I'm not an asshole, I'm just telling it like it is man.

Originally posted by GGG Very poor analogy, as you've already stated. Spic is a slur and insult no matter the situation, though I'm not saying I'm insulted by it every time it's used.
You're arguing that it's not wrong to intentionally misgender people because you don't think it matters to show them that kind of respect. You're essentially arguing that it should be okay to disrespect trans people (aka insult them), so as weak as my analogy is it stands up to that particular critique. Intentionally misgendering people is always an insult. :/ -
2019-04-03 at 8:03 PM UTC in Give me one good reason why I should refer to transgender people by their preferred pronounsI mean, I agree... but at the same time I don't like Mexicans. If every interaction I had, I called you a filthy spic... would it be a problem? Should I pull my punches and lie about how I feel about you by omission? Probably. Because it's the fundamentally decent way to behave. Similarly I wouldn't go around calling gay people faggots. Misgendering someone isn't exactly a 1:1 analogy here, but the philosophy behind not misgendering people is more or less the same - it's a slight tweak in the language you may want to use to avoid causing someone grief. Choosing not to make that tweak makes you an asshole. But you're free to be an asshole. Just don't act like you aren't an asshole just because you're being honest about how you feel.

Originally posted by Lanny Everyone knows winners of public debates are determined by which interlocutor rubs their nose the most. And in this respect zizek is a bronzed god which no one can touch. Peterson is going to be steamrolled by nose rubbing of that caliber.
Peterson isn't gonna know what hit him. -
2019-04-03 at 8:06 AM UTC in zizek vs jordan petersonNot that I don't find "Maps of Meaning" intriguing, but the debate is featherweight v heavyweight. It's not going to be pretty.

2019-04-03 at 8:01 AM UTC in zizek vs jordan petersonŽižek will win. Jordan Peterson is just a fairly average college professor who got famous because he didn't think it was right to force people to use certain language (a crusade, I will add, that I supported him in). Aside from that, his biggest accomplishment is writing a fucking self-help book about the importance of keeping a clean home. His greatest skill is perhaps his ability to use asinine folkloric metaphors. Žižek, on the other hand, is a career intellectual who has written several well-respected books in 4 languages.
For comparison, we're talking about a debate between the guy who wrote these:

Among myriad others.

Originally posted by We'reAllBrownNosers That's a hilarious fantasy you have there. Kind of like the afro-centrists that believe everything was secretly invented by africans and then stolen by the white devils. If you look into it, most of the important inventions were invented by whites.
Feel free to attempt to prove me wrong though, you can't. Nor can the afro centrists.
If you look into it I think you'll find that by the time white people started inventing shit, most shit had already been invented by semitic and arabic cultures. Also: meds are not white, so you don't get Rome either. UwU -
