Both good things. :)

I'm not ready to conclude he's a Confederacy fanboy and/or apologist for slavery. I don't think there's sufficient evidence for that. It just raises the question of what he thought he was doing.

I don't think you owe me. I think we're on a message board and you didn't owe me a response to my question in the first place. I think I'm pretty clearly defining "proof" as "you saying something." Did you think I wanted scanned documents or something?

Is this Nuremberg?

I'd like to point out that you didn't refute anything.

No fatty tuna? Awwww.

Such a pity that there still isn't a complete translation so more people can read those tales.

My coworker was complaining that imgur.com (I think) had been "taken over" by girls and now he can't make sexist jokes without getting yelled at.

I mostly hate it when female comedians think they have to be particularly crass to be funny - not because I don't think women should be crass but because I dislike humor based on bodily functions.
I feel like a lot of female comdedians seem to think that it's "empowering" or something, considering it's what a lot of male comedians do as well, so it's the only thing they do. I see where they are coming from, considering the girls/women are criticised a lot more than boys/men when they make jokes like that, but I still don't like that kind of humor, no matter who does it. The same goes for the same old "women and men are so different" comedy, and people complaining about their (fictional) boyfriends/girlfriends - at least when that's the only topic of a routine.

I'm female, and basically the definition of the "deadpan snarker" trope and people laugh at those jokes/remarks no matter what gender they are. I think it's a pretty gender-neutral kind of humor. I have never personally encountered men who said that women are always less funny. The only thing I've seen are guys who say they don't like certain female comedians, but they have their share of male comedians that they also don't like, so that's not a matter of "men funny, women not funny".

We're talking about Sherlock (BBC) canon though, so it doesn't matter what she was in the books. She's a different character here.

You said, further down, that you were only curious. Had you actually asked like you were, I probably would have answered you. But you basically came and said "I demand you give me evidence to back up your claim" as if I owed you something.

And you overreacted a whole bunch and made your grandfathers look like Nazi dicks and still won't say anything substantial.

It seems like a dumb response.

In my experience as someone who's spent a considerable amount of time at anime clubs and cons, people who have conversations like that usually ARE loud about it, even if other people are clearly acting uncomfortable.

Yeah, the only person hung up about how my grandfathers were Nazi dicks is you.

Amen to that, Anon.

That episode was so awesome. I've always wanted to see The Further Adventures of Holographic Moriarty in Space.

You keep coming back to say they weren't (without really saying they weren't).

I used to fantasize about being male characters when I was little. I would dream about being the manly hero who rescues the princess. Later, there was a time when I wondered if this meant I was gay, but looking back on my early fantasies, there was never any romance or sex involved (I was really little, so this isn't surprising regardless of the genders and sexualities involved) and the fantasies pretty much ended with the rescue, like I'd completed a level on a video game or something. I realized it wasn't about wanting the princess, it was about wanting to be the hero and I was awash in stories where the hero was male and rescuing a princess was just what heroes did, so that's how my fantasies went.

I don't read Cracked much, but I get the feeling that the writers have a higher average maturity level than some of the readership because I've run across a number of articles written by men that basically amount to "Guys, you need to get your shit together and stop acting like childish douchecanoes. You'll be a lot happier and people will want to date you." I never read the comments, but presumably no one would write these things if they didn't think anyone needed to hear it.

From what I've seen of Tumblr SJWs they scare the living shit outta me. Because they would be totally willing to spread a dangerous rumor about you and harass people to believe just because they don't like you.

They're like the more PC-obsessed version of the kid in high school that spreads a rumor that you slept with a teacher because they don't like either you or the teacher.

No, I pretty much literally said they weren't. You're the one demanding "evidence". And quite frankly, it's ridiculous: You say that you would believe me if I said they were communist or Social Democrats, but you won't believe it when I say they weren't Nazis? Why is one thing more believable than the other?

Because "my grandfathers weren't Nazis because ______" is much more believable than "my grandfathers weren't Nazis because they said so, I don't owe you an explanation."

Of course you might fib but, again, this is a fucking message board.

Yeah. WTF is this bullshit?

I hate this type of comedy as well, with women I think it stems from the whole "women are not crass so when they are that's funny"? As if the comedian being a woman is implicitely supposed to be the punchline.

Like I've heard a few times when I cuss or swear that it's funny because I'm a small woman and they don't expect me to do that.

Just a theory.
