How can I be mad when your posts are such a trip
Alternate if-you-insist: whatâs pathetic about that analogy? I assume you mean pathetically non-apt.
Bear in mind Cassette wasnât actually gatekeeping anything.
How can I be mad when your posts are such a trip
Thatâs what Iâve been saying but then we look at the post that prompted this and well.
p.s.
How can I be mad when your posts are such a trip
Trolly seems pretty Big Mad though right? Lol look at how furious he is over whatâs supposed to be a cutesy play on words of a somewhat famous phrase.
I must admit Iâm kind of surprised so few people seemed to get the no gods no masters reference on a âleft-leaningâ forum
But I mean if you insist, lol, what are you thoughts about editing A Confederacy Of Dunces after the Sensitivity Readers get a hold of it.
I mean yeah thatâs the root: everybody would be in consensus that the Dahl and related edits were at least âa little fucking weirdâ if it wasnât the itchiest forum drama situation Iâve yet seen.
You have it backwards. I totally can see it being weird, but ultimately itâs just not uncommon or that big of a deal for new editions of things to have changes from previous or original versions. Especially when the nefarious purpose is⌠getting rid of racist material. Meanwhile your side is freaking out about this as if it was the end of freedom of speech. And that it should literally be illegal for copyright holders to edit the thing that they own.
Mf saw âGive Peas A Chanceâ with like a bowl of the spheroid green garden peas and stroked out lol, muttering about cool-ass freshmen and what not.
sounds like you just donât value performative art.
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail :: if all you have is Wookieâs chatGPT approach to art, everything is a confederate statue
A Confederacy Of Dunces
nice find. another novel that was edited and published WITHOUT authorâs permission!
Some gatekeeping is good, actually. Iâm not going to ask someone who has never done X about how we should preserve and value X.
Just to add a little:
If someone like VFS says âHow can you value X? X is dumb/worthless/unprofitable/etcâ
And I ask, "Have you ever [done/eaten/experienced] X?
He says âNo.âWe can exclude his thinking about X. Thatâs good gatekeeping. Heâs welcome to go eat a strawberry and report back on his thoughts on strawberries, but until then you are GATEKEEPENâD!
Weâre talking about VERY BROAD life experiences. Like, eating food. Have you ever eaten food? If not, please donât be a restaurant critic.
Hopefully this isnât throwing gas on a drama fire, but would it be appropriate to extend this analogy to people who do and donât read/write scientific/medical literature as part of their career and each groupâs respective thoughts about the science of COVID?
Yes, science should be left to scientists.
Of course you shouldnât weigh a plumber or medical doctorâs opinion with the same degree of seriousness as someone who does relevant research as their career and is immersed in the relevant literature and scientific techniques.
A doctor probably knows more than a plumber about illnesses.
sounds like you just donât value performative art.
What did I type to make you think that? (and before you say itâs a joke, what did I type to make you make a joke in that direction as opposed to any other?)
Meanwhile your side is freaking out about this as if it was the end of freedom of speech.
That was just the springboard, now itâs more about being blown away that a bunch of people donât understand valuing art and artistic creation as a concept.
For a second I thought VFS did understand the concept and just disagreed, which is fine in one sense. But after that last post Iâm not so sure.

lol from the mouths of babes
I donât understand how everyone involved with this discussion here can be completely wrong. Logically, one side of the issue has to be right here, and yet.
Not to worry, youâre all wrong ITT imo. Cleared that up for you
I am pretty sure I outrank everyone here with my career and success in publishing so Iâll just tell yâall to sit down and be quiet
Oh wait thatâs gatekeeping
Let the hot takes continue!
