I got bullied as a kid, so I am very, very opposed to anything that coddles or condones it. --- End quote --- I got bullied as a kid, I learned to stand up for myself, f**k bullies, including the bullies that try to police everyone's language and force political correctness. Trying to "cancel" someone is just a modern form of bullying and I won't stand for it. |

--- Quote from: Simon on August 07, 2022, 08:35:40 pm ---I refer to people as snowflakes and I would hope I don't fit your description. There are a class of people who are incapable of making their argument so instead go on the attack by "being offended", if there is no offence to themselves that could be conceived then they get offended on someone else's behalf without their consent, as long as they find an offended party they feel they can shut your argument down and banish it from the debate that they are too lazy to have or cannot have as they have no defence of their ridiculous position. --- End quote --- I get really frustrated with the people that white-knight and get offended on the behalf of some other person or group. I am on the autistic spectrum and multiple times I have had (neurotypical) people get all bent out of shape about humorous autism stereotypes which I personally find hilarious because while exaggerated, I can see so much of myself in the jokes, many of the stereotypes are absolutely based on truth. They make a stink and claim that it's offensive, and it pisses me off because they should try asking me or other members of the group they claim to be standing up for if we find the material offensive instead of getting offended on our behalf and then attacking us if we disagree with them. It's so stupid and yet it happens all the time. |

I think a lot of us "nerds" got bullied in our youths. That is because as a nerd you don't fit in their view of normal and if like me, build small and not very strong, an easy target for them. And I'm afraid that is an ugly human trade baked into our DNA. People want to rule over other people because it makes them feel better. Some have it more than others. I'm not saying that we have to learn to live with it, but I'm afraid it is very difficult to eradicate. And indeed lately it seems that offense is taken on the simplest non offensive word spoken. It seems that the scale is never in balance. |

Nobody likes them, other than their own kind. The vast majority of stuff people complain about, however, doesn’t even come close to rising to the level of “policing” or “canceling”. |

--- Quote from: Mechatrommer on August 06, 2022, 11:18:38 pm ---i got few hit from haters for posting very simple keywords and facebook decided it is a hate speech.. one of the post is only like "saudi wahabi, indon aswaja" and it was only like a sarcastic post. i sensed that facebook is using some set of keywords to make the decision such as "indon" is considered a harmful or derogatory word... regardless of what the whole post meaning, even if it was not mean as a harmful or hate speech, if someone complain about it, the stupid algorithm will kick in. making an appeal give no success, facebook hasnt reply in months. by simply include that word in your post you are eligible for a ban or suspension. so question is, how do i know what are those keywords so i can avoid including in my post? and how to register a keyword because some keyword in our community's opinion is a hate and derogatory word/speech but not yet registered? people will use that keyword to mock us. thanks. edit: googling reveal some flaw in the algorithm such as https://time.com/5739688/facebook-hate-speech-languages/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/12/03/facebook-hate-speech/ --- End quote --- "some of them want to abuse you... some of them want to be abused..."
