  • You don't add darkness to something to make it black, you subtract light, color, energy etc.

    Except you do, when you're using additive mixing (I.e paint)

    I'm not saying it's that it's inherently racist. I'm saying that black people rightfully dislike that "black" is associated with "negative"

    But I think saying black is negative and white is positive has both scientific and mathematical origins.

    It has neither.

  • Dark cave vs open meadow.

    When you're a rodent?

    Clear skies vs stormy clouds.

    When you're stranded in the desert?

    Clear still water vs murky turbulent water.

    When you're a fish?

    Death and decay vs life.

    How does that have anything to do with black/white?

    But nah, I'm just making up literary themes that have existed for centuries. For fucks sake, the vast majority of horror movies rely on darkness.

    The fucking yin yang is literally the fusion of light and darkness, good and evil.

    You're trying to disprove that it a subliminal bias induced by other people who lived a while ago by... giving me examples of it?

    You're just being intentionally obtuse or you're really that dumb that you don't get any of these themes.

    Oh the irony...

    Additionally:

    Pink is not "feminine"Blue is not "masculine"

  • "tankie" is an attack of your political beliefs. And I'm not attacking you for "standing up" (lmao, talk about irony), that's your reading comprehension.

    I have a mental disorder myself, I don't remember asking for random keyboard gobblins to "stand up" (I really hope I don't need to explain the irony of you using "standing up" here) for me.

  • You've just confirmed that you do not know what an insult is.

    The "don't police me" part was aimed at your "don't offend people at all", it seems that I need to clarify that for you.

  • I'm not tone policing. I'm fine wirh using whatever words if their intention does not aim to attack a person of a minority because they're a part of that minority.

    I. E. Retard does not. N-word does.

  • How is "uneducated" offensive in any way? Do you not understand what "offensive" is?

    How is this different to "retard"? Not every uneducated person is evil or bad. They're also a marginalized minority. Education isn't free, nor is it accessible everywhere in the world with ease.

    See where this is going?

  • Oh look, the tankie arrives at my initial point, only took you a bit. It is precisely that I "cannot" insult your inability to understand something, without allegedly "disparaging marginalized people"

    I'd call you slow, but there are other slow people that are not being dumb, don't want to disparage them.

  • Dark places aren't inherently more dangerous. Light, bright areas aren't inherently positive.

    These are the subliminal ideas that were put into your head by literature, religion, popular culture, etc (that was often seeped in racism).

    Just like numbers aren't inherently good or bad, but certain numbers rise associations with "good" or "bad" 3, 7, 13, 666, 777, Etc.

    "Nature itself" argument is completely BS, as many animals hunt and spring to life at night, while daytime and light means danger to them.

  • "IQ" is most literally where it came from. Together with "moron", "imbecile", "idiot"

    Since we all agree that IQ is not an actual quantification of intelligence those words are now used as means to attempt to offend someone, without relation to their medical history or mental aptitude.

  • Can you please a comprehensive list of "slurs" that contains their transition from "official medical description" to "slur"? Otherwise a "slur" is an amorphous social construct that is always evolving.

    You probably think that "tankie" is a slur, don't you, tankie?

  • In general, I don’t see that much point to insulting people? Cool, I can make someone mad because I’m also angry with them, and instead of anyone learning anything we’re all just pissed off now

    People have feelings and it is human to vent them out. That's why swear words exist. I am not plannin to educate wach and every nazi I come across, and I really don't care whether they're pissed off or not.

    Having intention to offend people is OK, sometimes it kicks-off self-reflection that a politely-worded official statement would not.

    I refuse to being tone-policed. I am human.

  • That implication is correct?

    Look, if it's pointed out that "x" makes some minorty uncomfortable, but you keep using "x", you are culturally insensitive to that minority. You can choose to be, nobody would care if you're not a person/company with milliona of followers.

  • Why does one automatically associate black with bad and white with good? Think about it.

    Remember that we also do things subliminally. So black = bad rubs off on people who can be called "black".
