It wasn’t the actress, it was the pants, and them not being flattering.

The Twitter user nor the post mentioned anything about the actress. Did you see the picture in the post? Or are you just inserting preconceived biases here

It was in context to a show, and the thread was specifically talking about this

You should, but the hexbear mods are picky about what constitutes a valid opinion. I made a comment in another thread about not enjoying the new trend of baggy pants on women, got banned from the thread lol.

Lucky they agreed with you on this one

Wild that you can say this here

No eye damage in Ottawa, just brain damage

Lol! Touché

There’d be hardly any parents left if you could jail bad parents on whim based on a singular observation.

Then many of those kids would be even worse off…

Thinking back to the very “concerned parents” of my childhood, they were usually the over protective lunatics

I definitely read “sharting” at first glance

How else would you go about removing the two parties from power?

I don’t think continuing to support the party with a vote is really the answer here.

Your solution to losing is to now bandwagon with “the lesser of two evils”? Why wouldn’t you abandon that party entirely? There’s more than two choices.

They’ll kill and take away the rights of people who aren’t you though…yay…

To top it off, you go on to bash those who think that’s not a good choice

The irony.

But don’t listen to me, I’m the stupid one.

Cool, when you and your friends band together and vote for someone who’s not apart of the war machine, then you can ride your high horses

This is the only sane answer in here

…what?

Do you work for the onion?

This is so pedantic it hurts. I don’t know how to dumb this down any further. You win, racism will never end and let’s just put everyone in jail. Enjoy!

Not a lot of real world analysis (that’s not a priori) that I could find specifically on race, but here’s one regarding this issue but with prejudice against transgender:

It’s also enabled everyone to see cultures and ways of life they would never be able to before. People can share their differences and traditions more openly too. Knowing more about cultures, practices and different people is what opens doors to not being racist

You’re forgetting that we have technology that connects most of the world now, even across languages. This definitely changes things.

But it sounds like you’d prefer to live under a government like the CCP. That way you don’t have to worry anymore because they’ll take care of everything for you

You’re asking me to predict the future, maybe it doesn’t happen. Maybe 1 lifetime? Maybe 2?

Who knows, but all we can do in the meantime is continue to actually talk with people caught in the storm.

If the government tries to force speech, what do you think that will do? Do you think everyone will say “oh ok”, and just quietly live out their lives at home in resentment or in prison for this never to return?

It’s a bandaid to a problem where we’re just supposed to trust that governments will always use this power correctly

Why do you trust powerful governments so much?

Racism isn’t an implicit call to violence. Violence is one of the ways it can manifest if it’s deranged enough, but most racism is just sorta quiet and often unconscious.

It’s not a good idea for the government tell you what you’re allowed to say - that change has to come naturally from the bottom up, not artificially from the top down
