Where in the study did they wrote that?
Yeah, I don't know. I feel much more sorry for the girls and women who get hit by that hatred. And they definitely do. Online and sometimes offline as well. I see it in school (in Germany) how some boys as young as 12 already bought into the incel narratives and treat the girls accordingly. This has to be stomped out.
She was an old woman in the democratic party. That's three things a lot of people on the internet hate. Since most agree she was a politician not fit for her job anymore they can go all out with the insults without getting too much backlash.
I have no idea who this person is, but the vitriol and hatred I see towards the person is extreme online. Especially a lot of sexist slurs like "bitch", "cunt", etc.
Wasn't the trouble some people had with the drag queen shows the dances? I don't know the situation in the US(?), but that's what some people disliked about some of the shows in Germany.
Here is a video of one of these shows that was a program for kindergarden kids: https://youtu.be/p2zsZHb_Y7E?feature=shared
It's dishonest to leave it out of the discussion when people didn't have a problem with the clothing in the first place.
I am no pro in pedagogy or whatever. Not sure if that's super harmful or whatever tale the alt right tried to spin. But it's definitely not just some people with a cleavage or other types of sexy clothes.
Just checked and can't believe it only got 40 %. Perhaps it's because it was too close to the Matrix hype at the time. In my friend group we even called all these movies "vermatrixt".
When people accept something happening in a male character they do not accept in a female character that is at least sexist. If Rey was male perhaps there still would have been some whining, but the sheer amount of angry men tears online over Rey being too good is in part due to her being a woman.
Can you give a few examples of which IPs have been "re-written"? Rey for example is the protagonist in the new Star Wars movies. They weren't remakes of the old ones. And Galadriel was always that powerful.
Why is it woke when female or "minority" characters are this way but not when white male characters are this way? Your points describe the majority of movies featuring a male white protagonist.
And how is Galadriel not the way she is described in the original IP?
I wonder why people didn't lose their mind over that Lego movie being political. Why is "average Joe is the real hero when he just lets go of restrictive norms" not a political statement? But "Barbie is the hero in her own movie by abolishing restrictive norms" is woke/political?
As someone who was in the same shoes as the person you reacted to: I was absolutely repulsed. It's the main reason why I waited until my late thirties to get a partner for life.
When I got the slightest whiff of the men being with me because he liked that I was short / skinny / childlike that was the end of the relationship. It's not only superficial, but also highly questionable to find your partner attractive because of these traits.
He looks too happy and to pretty, this did not bode well with Turkish police!
Thanks for the suggestion, I thought it was obvious
The face is so important in human interaction, it really is dehumanizing to have to cover it up. I distinguish heavily between what you are wearing (including a headscarf) and something that covers your face, inhibiting your potential to connect with other people.
People don't see your happiness or sadness or pain or anger, you are just a blank slate to project on.
How can you even dare do suggest such an evil thing? Everybody knows men and women are completely different creatures. There's no way they would be able to talk about mental health together! /s
“Girls are basic and boring”, “Boys are interesting and quirky”
No, I am really not that good in English. I often realise people understand it slightly different than what I meant. But I can't do anything about it lol
That's what you take from it? No, I think there should be no reports or articles or mentions on any cases that have not yet been decided upon by a court. A private's persons life is not ruined by an accusation because it almost never leads to a conviction, regardless of whether they are guilty or not.
What? No, what I mean is that it was known how people were increasingly aligning their opinions to the right for probably more than a decade now. Especially in exactly those areas which now voted for AFD. But instead of doing anything about it then, it was washed aside with: "Eh well it's all Nazis there anyway! What a bunch of idiots!" and that was it.
Again and again there was the occasional article where all people agreed upon how bad those people are and for a while perhaps being called right-wing or Nazi had some weight in persuading people they should seriously question their opinions. But without any further action, I wonder what people were thinking how this would prevent those people from voting a party like AFD further down the line?!
Now some of them are already at a point where they will just proudly agree that they are right-wing or conservatives. What a surprise.
Depending on how it works out with the AFD in that town, I am sure people in similar places are watching closely. This can escalate quickly. I believe, when this doesn't turn out as a complete desaster for the town, a kind of domino effect will happen and more people will feel comfortable voting for the AFD. I mean, they are already branded as right-wing Nazis, why not vote accordingly? When a 60 yo village dweller finds he agrees with some of the points the AFD makes and that makes him right-wing, perhaps being right-wing is a good thing? That's how people work and we need to step in at that point and not wait for a miracle of them suddenly making a mental U-turn.
