Stupid thing that have been deemed "problematic" - current year is problematic

[NerdShamer]

Sitting on my ass, watching my children kill each other and ruining the family business.

 

[Synthetic Smug]

Imperial ambitions.

 

[Doctor Placebo]

The lockdown.
Ending the lockdown.
Being fat.
Being thin.
White people expressing any opinion whatsoever about anything having to do with non-white people.
White people expressing any opinions whatsoever about anything having to do with white people.
Saying people can choose their gender.
Saying people can't choose their gender.
Literally fucking everything.

 

[Spangled Drongo]

Preferring to date within your own race/culture. Never mind some cultural differences just can't be overcome, evolutionary biology, or preferences for a certain look, you're racist if you don't find another ethnicity attractive.

Video games that aren't "diverse".

 

[Dubu Kimchi]

Hoodies with a Rising Sun design. Apparently it’s offensive to the Koreans and it symbolizes fascism?

Not fascism exactly, just good old fashioned imperialism. Its usually compared to the Nazi flag because that's the easiest way to explain to an ignorant audience.

 

[A Welsh Cake]

Having a type.
Apparently I’m supposed to have interest in every woman or else I’m a sexist who forces square pegs into round holes

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

Traditional male role models - being funny in not self deprecating or repentant ways, being confident, being determined, being stubborn and of course taking care of women, because you show them that they are weak.

Traditional female role models - being caring, being loving, being vulnerable, being strong not in a "take that you penis scum" way, choosing to raise children and taking care of your family, that makes you worse than rapists.

Raising boys as boys and girls as girls, because God forbid they will grow up without mental illnesses.

Not taking your child to Dick Chopper M.D. if they called themselves with the wrong pronoun or associated themselves with the cartoon character of opposite sex.

Pointing out that most of the criminals are not white.

Pointing out that some criminals are not white.

Considering polygamy, open relationship and other cuckolding as peak degeneracy.

 

[DJ Grelle]

It is a perfectly legitimate word when used in geographical or historical context.

Cisleithania >>>> transleithania

Fuck the hungarians

Did u see the piece of successive monarchs starting with the Incan monarchs (? Not sure could be montezuma) and ending with Charles V? It's very interesting to place it into the Spanish legitimizing discourse and runs counter the black legend.

Now on topic: discrimination. At it's core it's simply recognizing differences and acting different towards different people. Everyone does it really. But now it's some evil thing that if you do it you're literally hitler. Actually it's merely human and normal to do.
Same with prejudice. We all are prejudiced. You could not live your life if you didn't use hundreds of thousands of prejudgements a day. But you can't be prejudiced about humans because that's bad even tho we all are.

 

[Antique Rice]

Recognizing that heterosexuality is in fact the norm and understanding that the majority of stories and media reflect that.

 

[Leaf-eon]

Good looking women in media

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

Good looking women in media

I'd say good looking women in general. That's appealing for males, basically sexist.

I'll add to this not being proud of your disadvantages, that can be fixed with little effort, like being overweight. Body positive movement originally was about something you can't control, like scars or missing limbs, not about being proud of living like fat hairy smelly pig.

Not fascism exactly, just good old fashioned imperialism. Its usually compared to the Nazi flag because that's the easiest way to explain to an ignorant audience.

The Japanese army did force a bunch of Korean women into sex slavery in WW2, on top of numerous other war crimes, causing some very bitter feelings among Koreans. The Rising Sun flag was the Japanese war flag of the time, so it's still heavily linked to WW2 Japan in the eyes of many east Asians. However, it's also the current Japanese naval jack. It's like if modern Germany still used the Nazi Reichskriegsflagge for its air force or something.

Although it's still difficult to parse out the exact equivalence. Imperial Japan didn't have a "Nazi Party" to make it easy to isolate and label the "bad element" of Imperial Japan from the people who were as decent as the times would allow (this is also an oversimplification in Nazi Germany, but it's true enough of the time that nobody gives a shit, especially since Nazi Germany is the Great Satan of pop culture). The Rising Sun flag predates Japanese war crimes and isn't tied to a particular strain of supremacist Japanese ideology like Nazi flags are.

On top of that you've got the fact that prominent Japanese politicians still downplay or deny Japanese war crimes to this day, including Abe. We don't see Angela Merkel sharing, "Okay maybe it happened, but not six million" memes but that's pretty normal in Japan. So it's all kind of a complex issue. I can understand why Japanese people like the Rising Sun flag as a patriotic thing. I also understand why it pisses off a lot of Koreans and Chinese.

Recognizing that heterosexuality is in fact the norm and understanding that the majority of stories and media reflect that.

These days with the plethora of homosexuality and transgenderism in media we're dangerously close to the point where we have to say the majority of stories and media used to reflect that.

 

[Next Task]

Male sexuality

I was going to specify straight male sexuality, but really all men get called problematic at some time or another. But the way a lot of people go on about the male gaze, it's clear that they regard straight male desires as some form of all-consuming force for evil.

I was hoping this would be more a list of the crazy side-things that get called problematic, like milk and hawaiian shirts being called alt-right white supremacist symbols - the little lies, rather than the big lies like 'you're a woman if you say you are', 'anything other than active support is a form of violence' and 'white people are the only people to do bad things'.

I've been trying to remember the list I made of the ones I saw. For example, if you want to find out how everything white people do is racist, The Root is a great place to start. I think they included 'white people owning dogs' and 'liking videos of people rescuing animals from danger'. Let's see. Other things I've also seen being described as problematic: apologising in public, wedding proposals in public, trying to get to know people, Movember, yoga instructors, saying you've put on weight but that's OK, distracting your kid from crying, not always taking a crying child seriously, crumpets, 'long time no see', the word 'denigrate', and of course that callow degeneracy and advocate of rape culture, the song 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'.

At a certain point in barrages of absolute idiocy like this, one develops "giving a single solitary fuck fatigue."

[Wraith]

Having kids.

We get it. You're such empty plastic disposable fecal people that there is nothing about you worth passing onto the next generation. You get to have those growth and life experiences- you're surely not going to foster that in your own kin. No one else gets to see and do what you did. If raising kids is too much trouble, so was raising your whiny ass. You're no better than anyone else because you have an overly expensive degree in bullshittery at the university of liberal smart ass.

Also we get it. Whining about bringing a kid into a terrible world is an admission you can't and won't do anything about those problems because you're just fine with the way things are as long as you get yours. And you're such shite not even your own kids could be raised by you to follow in your footsteps racing into battle to make the world a better place.

Better off being a sexual degenerate journalist or something and screw off. Your only values in life are not following in your footsteps and paying for stuff wholesale so at least someone else can make money and feed their families off the human parasite feminist shite you've become.

I swear I haven't been drinking... again.

 

[FluffyTehFennekin]

Calling people crazy, apparently

 

[Mr. Bung]

A few people seem to think other primates are problematic because they hit so close to home yet aren't human.

 

[Mr. Bung]

Calling people crazy, apparently

In my experience it's mainly women that take offense to being called crazy, in the same vein as calling men creepy. For some reason historically there's been this thing about women acting "crazy" whenever they get really upset so nowadays many of them will get upset just over being called that.

That's why you call them crazy and when they freak out you say see, you're acting crazy again. Same with calling dudes creepy.
