My ghetto-rasied white sister-in-law that loves Motown & has worn cornrows, would quite literally beat her into a pulp for saying something this stupid within her reach.

And yes mouthy bigots deserve their ass beat, but go ahead & show the rest of us how you are so "progressive" that you stand up for the absolute worse of humanity.

Seems like a perfectly rational response.

I was being sarcastic; its fucking mental to brag about how easily your sister resorts to violence.

[–] Fisk400@feddit.nu 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You dont think there might be some hyperbole in that claim?

Maybe she needs therapy (and no I'm not defending Rowling, she is trash)

Edit: downvoting therapy, upvoting violence. You people would make your parents proud.

I hate to be honest but JKR’s words turn into literal violence for trans people soooo congrats on how high your horse is

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

congrats on how high your horse is

Quite ironic way to end a "I'm more woke than thou" comment

By woke you mean "has basic empathy"

Or is it politics when one has empathy for trans people?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You have no idea what I meant or what I believe and I have zero desire to explain anything to you since you assumed a bunch bullshit. Bye, jerk.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out sweetie :3

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ignorant AND trite! Shocking!

[–] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In the time it took to check your replies and reply back despite saying "bye" you probably could've just explained yourself if you had any reasonable explanation but alas I'm sure you have good reasons for dying on this hill us wokeratis just couldn't possibly fathom

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Anything to have an enemy. No one gives a shit

[–] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

No one gives a shit about what? Have an enemy? What enemy? What? Did you hit your head too hard or smth

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Maybe, but I doubt it would really do anything for her. She's actually not a bad person, but her upbringing means she's not the least bit concerned about going to jail after whipping a bad person's ass.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I am not saying anger issues make someone "bad" I'm just suggesting they can be dealt with better ways than brutalizing another humam

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Rights have never been gained through peaceful protest. There has always had to be enough blood spilled to scare the ever living shit out of those in power for us to gain anything at all.

You tell 'em, best friend.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

which us is your current us ?

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If it's a fucking bigot, who cares?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

There is a reason that millennia of philosophers have been against violence. Same reason people oppose the death penalty. Boils mostly down to: "what if you're wrong?"

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

You dont respect my existence, you can expect my resistance.
