Lol, would it matter if the dreads people were bi or something? I don't see how sexuality changes how weird dreads look on white people.

Is Cumberbatch known for being an ass in interviews?

They had to get as many terrible things someone can be. Surprised anon didn't say straight CIS white girl.

Also, no he is not known for that because MOST actors are not known for that because part of their job is being polite after doing 40 interviews in one day.

P sure anon's point in saying straight was to clarify the "partner" part, not the dreads.

Anon could have just said her boyfriend. Also, how does anon know they are no bi? Awful monosexualist of anon.

i've talked to her, dumbass. the subject has come up

u wot m8

They aren't terrible things, just a list of things people consider privileges. It just kind of makes me roll my eyes when people are so used to listing privileges in random places, that they automatically list ones that don't matter at all in a given situation. Like sexuality has nothing to do with white people wearing dreads, race has nothing to do with some situations but people will still mention it needlessly.

Though I also find it kind of silly when people go on (sarcastically) about how "terrible" being white, straight, cis, etc. is. Like people are insulting someone by telling them they have a privilege (even if I didn't agree about something being a privilege, I don't think it's a big insult to be called privileged).

A) sorry if it was unclear, I mentioned the sexuality thing because of the word "partner," which is fine for anyone to use but I always feel kind of suspicious of it

B) More just in general. Not the malicious kind, just the "I'm so impossibly upper-class and white I'm disconnected from reality and my best efforts at being self conscious about my position in the world come off as weird and patronizing" kind of ass

Oh, okay. Thanks for clarifying.

Lots of closeted non-straight people support "partner" being used by straight people and people in straight relationships, because it helps normalize the word so that they'll be able to use it without outing themselves :)

Nah, straight isn't a problem because of the dreads, straight is a problem because she called her heteronormative cisscum boyfriend a 'partner'. Like, wow, appropriating the LGBTQ struggle much?

Seriously, this is so boring by now. My dad and random shop workers do this kind of stuff (and usually expect you to think it's brilliant, and think you're offended if you don't).

That's a healthy attitude to have and you should feel proud of it.

'Partner' is a pretty useful umbrella term for more-than-casual-but-not-married. My mother used it to describe her long-term lover.

But way to go for throwing around unnecessarily hostile language.

You're awesome.

Yeah, it's coming more into vogue as a general term for "serious but not married" regardless of the gender combo involved

It might be different in your part of the world, but where I live it's less 'coming into vogue' and more 'standard usage for decades'.

I hadn't... actually realised it was a term people got het up over.

I think it's always been used but it's becoming more trendy, if that makes sense.

I also didn't realize people made a big deal out of it.

NAYRT -- I've always found it a little awkward, regardless of the gender/orientation of the couple involved, because it seems weirdly euphemistic to me. Like when elderly people talk about someone's boyfriend as their "good friend" or their "roommate," because they don't want to acknowledge that they're an unmarried couple who's living together. With that said, it's been an umbrella term for as long as I can remember, so this appropriating nonsense is just drama for drama's sake.

I know you're trolling with this exaggeration and trying to get everyone to agree with your actual position so I'm gonna ignore that to say straight people who say "partner" don't come off as co-opting to me, they just come off as try-hard and strange

Well aren't you just precious.
