it's the same logic imo behind "we don't misgender quote bad unquote people"
if it's a shitty thing to do -- and imo attacking someone's physical ability is a shitty thing to do -- justifying it because you think the target somehow deserves it doesn't make it not shitty
it also makes anyone vulnerable to that behavior because others have decided it's justified, that they are part of whatever "other" group
(there are parallels here to death penalty or prison abolition arguments)
(also we have to hold space for the paradox of tolerance. nazi punks fuck off, etc.)
the only thought I have to the contrary here is that what AOC said ("maybe if you channeled this anger into swimming faster ...") can be read as critical of the transphobe's behavior and choices -- where she's choosing to direct her anger -- and not her physical ability
anyway
people sure can be shitty and defensive about it, huh
I hope you can take some time doing nourishing things away from the internet and feel better. all warriors need a break from the front lines, SJW's included
edit: this happened on a blahaj community? wow. I am disappointed in my peeps. otoh queer communities, like all besieged communities of vulnerable people, are understandably sensitive and kinda bitey toward anything that might threaten them. everything is complicated
assuming this is on lemmy, if a user is causing that much disruption amd harassing people you could message the admin(s) of the user's instance explaining the situation, provide evidence, and hope they'll ban the user
if the user is banned and creates another account, repeat
if the user is on an instance that won't ban them, contact the admins of other instances to try to have that instance deferated
A "full-stack developer" is someone who can do front-end / UI work (HTML, CSS and Javascript or whatever the frameworks and tools de jour are nowadays if we're talking webdev), back-end work (APIs and "business logic" and all the stuff users don't see), and often storage and infrastructure work (manage databases, write and optimize SQL queries, put things in buckets, get your code running on AWS / k8s / a pack of gophers / whatever)
that is
someone who wears too many hats and isn't paid nearly enough by a company that doesn't want to hire 4 engineers
solid is a neat idea, but the implementations are ... jank, to put it politely, and the overall spec is hecking complicated
i don't think the average developer, let alone user, is going to learn RDF and its various query and other adjunct languages just to control their data
i want to see it succeed, but i simply do not have high hopes on that front
I think the humor lies in the multiple levels of parody of traditionally conservative editorial cartoons. These are parodied or hyperbolized by The Onion's "Stan Kelly", and that parody is further parodied by replacing the topic with progressive leftist concerns in the OP's comic. My response uses an image from a modification of a character from Kelly's own work, replacing the "sicko" (originally a bystander excited by the decriminalization of drugs resulting in the death of procedural police dramas) with (to my eyes) a stereotype of a transfem furry, further increasing the absurdity and surprise of the entire scenario.
I considered replying with a crying statue of liberty, but this made me giggle more, so.
TIL
that was fascinating in a horrifying sad kind of way
thank you for sharing
brb falling down a rabbit hole of looking up other countries' ... I don't even know how to typify this. self identity narratives? national copium?
