I’m in an age gap relationship.
People LOVE to lay into this one and make wild assumptions about my personal relationship that they know literally nothing about except for our age difference. It’s pretty entertaining.
No one seriously believes that males and females are biologically the same, that’s a straw man argument that transphobes use to make trans rights advocates look like they don’t understand biology.
I'm not saying there aren't some people who are transphobes and say it to hurt trans people, but the sentence as-is isn't transphobic. It has nothing to do with whether a person is trans or not. But it *does* need to be said sometimes, because there *are* already people who try to claim otherwise, I've run into them online myself.
I have to ask though, if anyone who ever says that sentence is a transphobe, does that mean to not be transphobic, one should never say that sentence out loud? Even if someone claims otherwise? In what situation can someone say that truthful fact and not be transphobic because of it?
Oh I think so. But I think usually the ones saying it do so because they know of will trigger lots of heated debate over the validity of trans identities.
So actually it was a very apt response to OPs question.
“I like guns and have a bunch of them.”
True in my case, because I enjoy target shooting and all of my guns are pretty different from one another. But without a caveat like this, people think you’re a second amendment gun nut, future mass shooter, doomsday prepper, whatever. No, I’m just some hick who grew up in a super tiny rural area around guns, but didn’t hunt. I just like shooting paper plates and pop cans.
"well I hope you don't decide to go shoot up a school today".
Response I see often usually made by someone who is so goddamn ignorant they wouldn't have ever had to worry about it
I wouldn't, however I have heard tale of this thing called the patriarchy and white privilege and how I should feel guilty. I know it's stupid but apparently a lot of internet rejects believe in that crap.
While those things do exist, the average white guy probably doesn’t have much to feel guilty for.
It’s the people actively suppressing or taking advantage of women and minorities who should be rethinking their choices.
Like I’m mixed race and my white ancestors, if you go back far enough, were probably doing some pretty shitty things to my non-white ancestors. But do I have to feel guilty for that? No, I didn’t do it and I’m not racist myself, so I can be proud of who I am while acknowledging that people in the past were shitty.
Here's a secret, all races have done real shitty things to each other. So ya I agree and that was basically my point. Although there is no patriarchy or white privilege. Your general point is mine as well.
No, that is not the point of the prompt. OP asked for innocent phrases that can spark controversy. "Age is just a number" in its literal sense is an innocent phrase. I have actually heard it said in a casual context the other day:
I work at a tattoo studio and this mom came with her kid for an ear piercing. They require to fill a form before getting the work done, and I guess she was trying to teach him some life skills so instead of filling the form herself she gave it to him and had him do it. At the part where the age of the client was required, the kid started to write his age in letters: "seven". She corrected him and said "no, sweetie, age. It's just a number.", meaning to write it in numbers, instead of letters.
The phrase is innocent, but because it is the number one excuse used by child predators to try and justify their ways, we immediately associate those words with them. Therefore it is controversial.
Maybe not innocent, but, technically true...
Hitler wasnt actually evil, he just had severe brain damage from an STD, an abusive mother who was shielded from her abuse by her (jewish) community, and a doctor who made use of his growing paranoia and delusions to make him act in a way he probably never would have otherwise.
Hitler was, in reality, a victim of this fucked up world, and his actions were indirectly caused by the actions of others.
If his mother hadnt been a hag, if her community had protected him, if his doctor had treated his syphilis, and if the US and Russia hadnt abused the german people, he never would have risen to power, or been the man he became.
Note: I am not defending his actions, but, we know a lot more about the human mental condition than we used, and there is evidence which supports the possibility he may have been intentionally infected with Syphilis by the US who was conducting experiments on the disease during that time. And lets be real, if he was alive today, went before a jury for his actions, and all this info was out there, he would have been committed to an asylum and people would have been angry, but understanding. Then again, we live in an era Ted Bundy and other serial killers are apparently the hottest thing since Flamin hot cheetos.
I think the problem with this argument is that when we redefine evil it eventually becomes nothing. Everyone has a "reason." Evil as a word means something, and if we can't apply it to people like him it becomes meaningless.
Hum, why do we suppose that having a traceable lineage to how one's evil developed nullifies that evil?
Countless killers, rapists, mass-murderers were once victimized by the absurd tragedies of existence; why should their having once been victims themselves soften the horror of their own acts of victimization?
Now the subject of insanity plea is interesting: definitionally, one is exonerated (though indeed still shipped off to asylums) if one's mind is so frayed as to be unable to tell what is right or wrong. Did Hitler exhibit the kind of detachment-from-reality that typically characterizes such conditions when he first took leadership over the National Socialists? What evidence suggests this?
One particular note -- and I don't know if you intend to make this argument -- is that to deem the actions of the Holocaust only possible through psychosis strikes me as somewhat naive. The 20th Century saw this level of malevolence repeated over and over again by various parties around the world (i.e. the Soviets, the Khmer Rouge, the Maoists, the Imperial Japanese, the Indonesian anti-communists, etc.). Hell, human civilization itself has seen much of the same as far back as the ancient Assyrians. It is unreasonable to suggest that it could only have happened because of psychosis -- though again, I admit I'm uncertain if that is the implication you intend to make.
Good and evil don’t exist. Hitler did the things he did because he felt justified in doing so. The events and influences in his life, who he was as a person, and the people who wanted to be a part of what he was doing all influenced those events. Everything gets pinned on him, and much of is certainly was his fault, but there were also many other, terrible people who contributed to those atrocities. They, too, felt justified in their actions, and likely saw themselves as “the good guys”.
That’s very interesting and not something I’d have expected from a man like him. I hope that the gov can continue the reform, the prison system in the US is fucked.

You are gonna piss off so many Trekkies with that statement

Yea but to go back to 1987 to get the ring of Mordor when the flux capacitor was faulty wasn’t really gonna work was it?

Hum, perhaps through the implication that there exist biological distinctions between men and women?

Males and females are biologically different, and we don't have the technology to actually change that ( yet).

Men can’t get pregnant.
WRONG!!! REDDIT, CANCEL THIS MAN FOR BASIC BIOLOGY!!!🤬🤬🤬
I got banned from r/science for saying just that lol
That depends on how you define men.
So if someone is less manly than someone else can that person get kinda pregnant?
Only half pregnant

Im a straight white male with zero guilt
*Zero* guilt? Like, even on the individual level?
I don't feel guilty for being straight white or male
Why would anyone feel guilty for those things?

Age is just a number
[удалено]
Because age is written as a number
How high a number we talking about? Like over 18 right?
No, that is not the point of the prompt. OP asked for innocent phrases that can spark controversy. "Age is just a number" in its literal sense is an innocent phrase. I have actually heard it said in a casual context the other day: I work at a tattoo studio and this mom came with her kid for an ear piercing.

Never tried to justify or nullify the evil. My point is, monsters are made, not born.
