Well ... I thought I was done for the day, but then I got hit - out of essentially nowhere - with this shlong of a curve-ball.
But yea, people should know where I stand on this issue, so ... I won't really get much into that.
It is though an instance of ... where my disalignment with "SJW"s shows - and how there sure is still some meaningful reason
to speak of this divide. Not a divide that is to have us get at each other's throat - but a simple and honest acknowledgment
of certain differences.
I mean, on the issue of whether or not Vaush is a Misogynist - well. Perhaps I couldn't tell - but from what I see in that
video, I see a person who seems to have a hard time properly dealing with what he's seeing; And that is OK. I mean ... from
how I understand psychology I would infer from this, that he is used to dealing within environments that are ... well ...
let's say: Well mannered. Or at least ... "differently mannered". Civil and emancipated. And that is ... Cool. Sweet and
Based.
The issue here for me isn't that there ought to be a separate culture in which Sexism is the thing that's cool and based -
but to further explore this apparent divide.
I mean - Vaush does a fair job at trying to not judge them; As that'd be the first issue with the "SJW-esque tone policing",
which - in my opinion - some people fairly criticize(d). On the other hand, I don't see myself as part of either ... scene
or culture, do however appreciate civil and emancipated environments; But in as far as my intimacy is concerned, that's not
what I care about or am looking for.
So, this 'divide' exists "in behalf" of some ... societal norm. Here so the demand of Human Decency ought to be on top -
and the rest really just follows. When we do however get to heteronormative sexuality - with the emphasis being on sexuality
(as, Romantically I'm into women - or Sexual Abuse, but that's a different story; But Sexually I'm into everything that has
a penis, give or take) - that cannot be properly applied anymore.
I mean - and this comes with a big fat FFS (For Fuck's Sake) - there are people who, probably due to trauma or other internalized
"nonsense", take offense in merely pointing out the fact that hormones have an effect on our behavior.
At any rate then - between man and woman, there's something incredibly simple and quite frankly beautiful about the dynamics
of the woman being attractive to the man, and the man taking charge of the situation. Which, sure, exists on a spectrum -
where in this case we see one extreme in form of Sex-Workers.
In other words - there's a divide, which in this case would be as a curtain. And it seems to me; That on either side of a lot
of issues, there are people who take like ... 'pre-emptive offense' in things that might appeal to people on the other side.
So you might have porn that's really hard on the 'sexism' - and subsequently people who are essentially just offended that
immature and deranged people might vibe with that. And depending on how loud that gets, we get to these WTF moments that
might trigger the kinds of responses that would subsequently unleash a shitstorm.
And so, with this behavior comes - if it isn't so already - bigotry and that ultimately leads to conflicts; And internal
inconsistencies. At some point of being internally inconsistent, we get to a dominance of cherry picking - at which point it
is extremely difficult for "outsiders" to understand "what even". And by now we're at the point where people have somewhat
honed the art of which cherries to pick - which gets people on board and the bias of self-righteousness would be what
allows the inconsistencies to just flow into common sense without being recognized as inconsistencies.
So, anyway - behind the curtain we have things that don't belong into ... general space. I mean ... the issue is effectively
that: That we need to recognize, that classically people just inferred sexual preference based on sex. I mean, that's ...
probably the issue in its entirety. But that's also what it is: Sexual Preference. And rather than compartmentalizing society
into separated and isolated cultural environments - though to some extent that would be inevitable - we should also be capable
of self-consciousness and tolerance regarding these things. Tolerance here however not being an invitation to be intolerant,
of course, but to understand that "commonspace" requires mutual respect of us.
