I mean I don’t think that’s at all what they were doing and tbh that was pretty rude. They just thought it was funny how something managed to offend two completely opposed groups for completely different reasons.
I gotta say, burnings books is a pretty bad look, no matter what the book is.
Plenty people love Harry Potter in spite of Joanne’s really unfortunate views, and by burning this book rather than putting it back in circulation second-hand through Half Price Books or something, you’re encouraging the publisher to print more books and make Joanne more money
Really unfortunate you think someone with a disability owes you something. it’s a meme. this is a meme group. you want to “engage” someone on it, go post in a discussion group.
or ya know, go suck my dick, idc either way.
edit: sick edit, still don’t care if im being “rude”, as your original comment stated, to someone who had to post their super smart observation in response to a meme
Easy to say if you didn’t see the original, completely different comment before it was edited. Please shove it with the respectability politics. I am tired, out of spoons and I gave fair warning. I don’t owe anyone politeness, especially so on this topic.
My original comment said “Really unfortunate you’re choosing not to engage.” Not sure what you’ve found do controversial about that, because here you are.
If you don’t owe anyone politeness, what makes you think any of us owe you anything? You’re going to hate this, but the reason you’re getting shit thrown at you is because you’re throwing shit
Being disabled means the person is incapable of maintaining enough working hours to support themselves under our current systems.
Being disabled does not mean the person is granted the right to redefine social interactions to preference, and to demand everyone else comply.
If you truly felt you owed them nothing, then nothing compelled you to respond. If you truly did not want to respond, you would not respond. “Look what you’re making me do” isn’t a valid stance - it’s manipulation - because you’re in control of your own actions. No one made you respond but you.
Introspect. You’re making your life more difficult than it needs to be.
I hope you some day learn that everything in life is made up of many, smaller, things. And I hope that gaining that knowledge empowers you to feel like you have control over at least some of the stresses in your life. And I hope that leads you to a place where you’re not angry and lashing out at the very people you seek validation from. And I hope that when you stop pushing people away, you will receive the validation you need - that we all need, as human beings - and you can feel the relief you’re currently searching for. And that some day, the comments in this thread will seem like a silly thing to have been upset about.
I hope you find the peace you need. Have a good day.
You’re right, my mistake. Still don’t give a shit. Still not going to be polite about it. Telling me to engage about this is the same sort of tacit transphobia as saying there’s still a debate to be had about trans people’s right to exist. A vocal minority of fuckwits does not mean there’s cause for a discourse.
Talking about book burning is not at all tacit transphobia or in any way comparable to trying to debate anyone’s right to exist. I get you’ve been through and dealt with a lot, but it seems like you’re trying really hard to find transphobia here where it does not exist

I don’t know, burning a pile of copies of mein kampf would be pretty based, I think it really depends on the book.
Kind of embarrassing for you that right above this you started shit in the comments
Edit: This comment before I changed it said “Really unfortunate you’re choosing not to engage.”

as your original comment stated,to someone who had to post their super smart observation in response to a memeI’m also disabled. That doesn’t mean you can just say/do anything without consequences.
Nobody said you owed them anything.

why is that relevant here?

I posted in response to your “hurrrr durrrr” comment, and never called you rude, that is someone else above.

Nah, it’s much closer to Nietzsche’s “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process they do not become monsters.”
