Ignorant and proud of it is not a way to go through life.
A person whose physical, biological sex matches the gender they identify as. It’s the opposite of trans.
Imagine being proud of deliberate ignorance like this.
If you're style of "deliberate trolling" is to appear to be an ignorant goon, then don't be surprised when people treat you like an ignorant goon.
It basically means your mind agrees with what your body looks like/ is in your birth certificate. Basically not transgender.
And here, ladies and gentlemen, is part of the reason hate crime exists. “Is it something I don’t yet know or understand? Quickly, get me my head-burying sand bucket!”
Well, honestly that's because often the thing I would be looking at is another fad of made up nonsense and flashy words designed to drive engagement
It might be, or it might be not. Unfortunately you won’t know before googling/asking/etc. But hiding from stuff you don’t understand yet isn’t that good of a strategy in general.
It reads a lot like anti-intellectualism, and that never had a positive impact on societies.
This strategy is fine. I know exactly what concepts needs to be understood deeper, and what don't. Example : Cis/trans/whatever genitalia related concepts are the second category. Math and programming are the first
Sorry for person killed by the psycho tho
“I’m not anti-intellectual about every topic, only the ones I find iffy” is kinda exactly the point here. Everyone has first-priority topics of interest. The issue is being open to understanding other ones.
Edit: the mods deleted this person’s comments, and I disagree with that decision. If someone with a similar worldview stumbles upon such discussions and finds some point in other comments compelling enough to change their mind, that’s a positive result in my book. And removing the other point of view from the comments doesn’t allow people to find associations. The comments should have stayed.
It literally took you like 20x longer to have this conversation than it would’ve taken to google the answer. If you worry about your time not being infinite you should manage it better.
My initial comment was a troll one. I got so much hate i the comments I need a week to digest it. Will think twice if I feel brave enough again to question social dogmas.
No one likes trolls. Especially not trolling about things that has gotten folks killed.
Please find a new hobby.
And now you're whining that you've been fed.
You should whine less.
Resolve that by finding a new hobby. One that puts you in contact with RL people.
I can't imagine why others limit their contact with you.
I mean, you do you, but you didn’t get hate for “questioning social dogmas” (you didn’t question shit, btw), rather for flaunting your pride for ignorance and being an asshole about it. Rephrase your original statement as a question, and you’ll get zero hate.
I mean, if you want to know what a word means, you could just google it.
Or, if you feel like being an asshole: Announce that you won't google it. Then proclaim multiple times that you were trolling. Then whine that you're being oppressed when your comments are removed because you were trolling.
Or rather, you’re announcing your dismissiveness as scorn of things that greatly matter to a lot of people. Condescension drips from every word of your comment I just replied to and other ones you’ve made. And funny how people respond badly to it.
At any rate. I won’t be feeding you anymore, and I hope no one else does, either.
Nope, but "idk, I don't care to know, everything besides programming and whatever second thing you mentioned is second-class info, I won't google anything cause my time ain't infinite, but I'll spend an hour arguing about that" comes across pretty assholish. And btw, I'm arguing against the anti-intellectualism point of view specifically, not you personally.
No-one knows every word or every thing. But stumbling across something you don't know and figuring it out vs doubling down on your pride of not knowing it are pretty different behaviour patterns.
All I'm arguing for here is persistent curiosity vs ignorance.
It’s not a “buzzword,” It’s been in use since the mid 90s. Just because it’s new to you doesn’t mean it’s a “fad.”
And I’m truly sorry your Google-fu is that weak. But here.
I Coined The Term 'Cisgender' 29 Years Ago. Here's What This Controversial Word Really Means.
Sure. And googling about that climate change hoax is waste of time as well, there’s too much leftist propaganda there. Or stuff about some_group's human rights, these people feel iffy and I don’t want to drive engagement discussing them. Or lets slash women's healthcare because I have my Bible here and there's nothing else I need to know. Earth is flat too btw, why do I need to google what some NASA shill says, it's all CGI anyway.
It's a hyperbole and it should not sound reasonable, but this is what this type of thought process leads to. If you think your topics of choice are immune, you're kinda missing the whole point of this conversation.
The psychos were driven by the same ignorance you've made central to your personality.
This whole thread became hilarious. I literally stated I didn't bother to look up a definition of some random word. Now I am being accused of hatred crimes and being shut up by mods lol oh well fuck you mods
Being flippant and dismissive of something that has literally gotten people killed tends to get people upset.
Who's doing that?
I must have missed it. Which one?
Yeah, mods tend not to like trolls very much. And you made it undeniable to even the most lenient mod that you're trolling by just coming right out and saying it at least twice.
No one likes trolls. You don't get to gloat that you trolled people when you get pushback for saying something stupid and then turn around and act like you're a poor oppressed victim because people don't like the opinion you were totally pretending to hold to troll people.
Cisgender refers to people whos gender aligns with their sex
It's ok bud, you can look up the definition, it won't turn you trans, I promise.
