@TFS_Rogue@iluvvietnam7@viroraptor Shes not making a critique. Shes stroking her edgelord ego by saying "I have no morals, i scoff at human rights" and then grandstanding about how much of a better person she is morally. Shes a hypocrite and would probably be too scared to say a slur lol
@iluvvietnam7@viroraptor she moans about how she doesnt have morals, but then goes to grandstand about how much of a better person she is than "westerners who colonized the world"
That is by definition a moral argument.
This take is unpopular because it’s real immature, btw.
I’ve literally watched white classmates develop real empathy for Black people because of To Kill a Mockingbird. Fiction can expand how folks understand motivation, fear, contradiction. The shit essays and self help books barely touch.
Autobiographies always have a spin but good Fiction often doesn't tell you what to think. It drops you into situations where every choice costs something, and you have to sit with ambiguity and imperfect decisions, which builds REASONING.
I've learned about West African traditions, Constantinople's politics, and political struggles of the Ottoman Empire from fiction. Malcolm Gladwell is cool, but he didn't improve my vocabulary like Ursula K. Le Guin.
Fiction isn’t just entertainment. It’s mental rehearsal for being human. Escaping into a book can be as good for your brain and self regulation as meditation.
And yeah, let me add one more chaotic perception I've had: Many “non-fiction only” men I've met are uncreative as hell and tend to treat women like achievements.
@plantdude8000@TrvthfvlTreason god forbid you make fun of their pundits otherwise YOURE the one inciting violence, not the ones calling for police violence, laughing at teen suicides, etc.
I have no sympathy for that failed father kirk and i wanna know where he'll be buried so i can piss on his grave
@TrvthfvlTreason same types who make fun of a trans person that ends their life in the name of "dark humor" start pearl clutching when i make fun of the hitlerite that got his neck drained
shiver me timbers
