DISCLAIMER! i mentioned being "woke" in my last post. to clarify, i am an enlightened centrist. just not hemolitist - i don't see caste - & i figure that counts
99h, yeah, see, this is part 9f why it is imp9rtant t9 see #caste. 6ecause if we d9 n9t perceive it, if we ch99se t9 6e 6lind t9 the way it affects us, and the way it ingrains int9 us culturally, then we are vulnera6le t9 c9mmitting harm with9ut realizing it. (TW #internalizedhem9ism #internalizedcasteism #casteism) I cann9t speak t9 the friendships y9u p9ssess; h9wever, I can and will decry y9ur usage 9f the term 'r*st6l99ds' (TW #slur #hem9ism) as it is in fact a slur. I am aware there are th9se which seek t9 reclaim the term, and that n9t all are equally as 9ffended, 6ut it is n9netheless a disparaging pej9rative used 9ften 6y c9ld6l99ds t9 demean th9se 9f the 6urgundy caste.
READING ONTO THE RECORD! i actually have 4 rustblood friends. i forgot casper
POINT OF ORDER! also your usage of the phrase "choose to be blind" where you're equating a lack of sight with willful ignorance is distasteful.
Well, while I thank y9u f9r agreeing with me mister Tr9ll6ama, I must insist that I resent the implicati9n that agreeing with my p9ints is in any way 'weird'. Firstly, 6ecause ascri6ing 'weirdness' t9 s9mething is merely a marker 9f h9w accepta6le it is f9r s9cieties at large t9 9stracize (TW #discriminati9n #s9cial9stracizati9n) certain 6ehavi9urs and pe9ples - and thr9ugh s9cial 9stracizati9n the status qu9 is reinf9rced, and the status qu9 is merely an9ther t99l 9f the ruling p9wers with which t9 #9ppress their pe9ple. 6ut sec9ndly, 6ecause I champi9n ideals 9f #peace, #equality, #s9cialjustic, #pr9gressivism, and generally av9iding the #pr96lematic - all 9f which are n96le g9als that we sh9uld all strive t9wards. Really, 9ne sh9uld feel delighted and perhaps just a smidge h9n9ured t9 t9 share such ideals.
In this at least y9u are c9rrect; I sh9uld have ch9sen my w9rds and metaph9rs m9re carefully, 6ut I must n9netheless remind y9u that such metaph9rs were planted 6y y9ur suggesti9n that y9u d9 n9t see caste. T9 the 6lind c9mmunity and the disadvantaged at large, I ap9l9gise. It is still unaccepta6le t9 utilize #slurs, h9wever.
CROSS EXAMINATION! are you pro-censorship, then?
I 6elieve in the resp9nsi6ility we all have t9 ensure we cause as little harm as p9ssi6le t9 9thers. I d9 n9t c9nd9ne the #cens9rship 9f the marginalized, n9r 9f their struggles and w9rds. (TW #9ppressi9n, #marginalizati9n, #6elittlement) I d9, h9wever, 6elieve harmful and #pr96lematic termin9l9gy sh9uld 6e phased 9ut in fav9ur 9f m9re accepta6le terms. 9r, at the VERY least, 6e appr9priately tagged in 9rder t9 ensure th9se sensitive t9 such ver6iage can m9re safely navigate p9sts with9ut fear 9f stum6ling 9nt9 triggering material.
MOTION TO ENTER EXHIBIT INTO EVIDENCE! let the record reflect the word "rust" as in "rustblood" is a completely neutral term, as seen here on chittr itself https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/dec29255e0af.png but furthermore if perjorative language is applicable (or "slurs", or "problematic" language, as per the plaintiff's apparent preference to vocabulary that violates rule 403 as it is substantially more prejudicial than probative, i.e. being used exclusively to inflame the passions of the jury, but i digress) then there's no reason no reason not to call a quad a quad, as the saying goes. if the walkglove fits...
Chittr d9t ing is n9t, n9r sh9uld 6e, the ar6iter 9f what is 9r is n9t pr96lematic. If y9u had d9ne y9ur due diligence and went thr9ugh the required reading 9f my pr9file, y9u w9uld kn9w I have already stated several gripes I have with this platf9rm - including in regards t9 its usage 9f the #hem9spectrum, as well as the pertinent #slur. Refer t9 this p9st: [ https://chittr.ing/pr9file/c9nsultingG99dness/67861a65-6077-4420-8ff7-a0a464d43d86 ]. Frankly, thinking that such a friv9l9us appeal t9 Chittr's auth9rity w9uld s9meh9w sway me 9r any passing reader is ridicul9us. As a highly perceiva6le s9cial media platf9rm which 6y nature 9f it 6eing easily accessed must play nice with the p9wers that 6e, Chittr d9t ing p9ssesses a natural incentive t9 reinf9rce the status qu9 and supp9rt the d9minant p9wer structures present - whether intenti9nally 9r 9therwise - 9r risk 6eing shut d9wn. Thus, it is unsurprising they w9uld err 9n the side 9f extreme cauti9n in regards t9 the hem9spectrum - which in tr9ll s9ciety is the linchpin 9f all #9ppressi9n - and utilize many terms c9ld6l99ds p9pularized as a means 9f demeaning the warmer classes rather than taking a stand and supp9rting m9re s9cially pr9gressive termin9l9gy.
POINT OF ORDER! as long as our discussion takes place on chittr dot ing, then screenshots from the site itself qualify as in-court statements & by default make for admissible evidence. however, OBJECTION! your claim that chittr's usage of currently-accepted terminology is out of "extreme caution" & risk of being shut down is unsubstantiated & wishful thinking
