Nothing really unusual here. Dropped it when ordered, still one to keep an eye on.
- SonicRainboom345 is a Grammar Nazi and embraces that fact.
[snip]
<Lily> SonicRainboom345: let's not be throwing nazi around like that please
<DoctorCambrian> Semicolons are very helpful for readability when used 1. correctly and 2. sparingly
<Bennings> Hey 50% ain't bad
<Dr_Gates> why is the sensitivity on this site set to 11
<SonicRainboom345> boop
- EdeFabry has quit (Ping timeout: 182 seconds)
<DoctorCambrian> Unfortunately while i have the former down pat im absolute shit at the latter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- CyrusFiredawn (~PI.689315E.0545FD13.9D6F1593|eriFsuryC#PI.689315E.0545FD13.9D6F1593|eriFsuryC) has joined
- JustImpact has quit (Client exited)
<Piefish> Dr_Gates, what do you mean?
<DoctorCambrian> Dr. Gates theres a difference between "sensitivity" and "not wanting people to be dicks"
- JustImpact (~ArcMage@62163438:95A16A5B:E8FA0692:IP) has joined
<Dr_Gates> people are just waiting for an opportunity to be offended
<CyrusFiredawn> This offends me.
<Piefish> No they're not
<stormfallen> This convo will end well
<SonicRainboom345> Boop the snoot
<CyrusFiredawn> I'm kidding of course, I have no idea what anyone is talking about
<Piefish> Dr_Gates, "Grammar nazi" is a shit term, we don't want people to sue it, that's it
<DoctorCambrian> A lot of people on this site are minorities, whether they're transgender, people of color, etc.
- Sawyer has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
<SonicRainboom345> And?
<Piefish> What do you mean and?
<Draconic> I think I'm going to make "Where the Junk Goes", SCP-3625.
<SonicRainboom345> Why does it matter that there are minorities on the website?
- Sawyer (ten.ocdim.881D5769-CRInys|tibbiM#ten.ocdim.881D5769-CRInys|tibbiM) has joined
<Piefish> Because saying shit that would be acceptable on 4chan is not acceptable here
<DoctorCambrian> Normalization and the making acceptable of terms like nazi also, intentionally or not, legitimizes the ideas of nazis
<stormfallen> There's a lot of phrases that get thrown around that are offensive to said people
<SonicRainboom345> Really?
<DoctorCambrian> I'll be honest im ptobably not the best to be communicating these ideas
<Dr_Gates> mfw this convo
<DoctorCambrian> im far from an expert
<Piefish> Dr_Gates, if you don't like it then leave
<Piefish> This is something that has been in place for a long time
<SonicRainboom345> I'm pan and I don't give a shit if i'm insulted
<Piefish> 99% of chat can cope with it
<Piefish> SonicRainboom345, good for you, other people do though
<SonicRainboom345> They need to get thicker skin then
<stormfallen> SonicRainboom345: that's great, but not everyone can brush off insults so easily
<Piefish> Or you just need to not use offensive terms
<Dr_Gates> how do you guys survive life
<SonicRainboom345> ^
<DoctorCambrian> Same way you do
<CyrusFiredawn> DoctorCambrian is right, really. Whilst I'm against outright restricting speech, it is inadvisable to use such terms even as a joke, because it desensitizes people to the concept. Now when an ACTUAL Nazi makes their presence known, people don't care so much because the term has become trivial.
<Athenodora> okay look
<Piefish> Again if you guys don't like it leave
<CyrusFiredawn> Admittedly, I use it as a joke myself.
<CyrusFiredawn> So I'm no better.
<CyrusFiredawn> But he is right in overuse of things being dangerous.
<DoctorCambrian> only presumably with more empathy
<DoctorCambrian> ^
<stormfallen> There are plenty of places online to go to get insulted, no real reason why this can't be safer
<Athenodora> I might have decided to pursue an academic career in the Classics instead of Psychology, but I still paid for, like, 3 years of Psychology courses at uni
<SonicRainboom345> Generally, people call modern-day Nazis "White Nationalists," I find. Probably for this reason.
<DoctorCambrian> If you cant understand why joking about nazis might not be okay around a jewish person, idk what to tell you
- Piefish sighs
- Apoplexic (~ten.maertsdniw.pi.cimanyd.0D6BEEFA-CRInys|cixelpopA#ten.maertsdniw.pi.cimanyd.0D6BEEFA-CRInys|cixelpopA) has joined
<stormfallen> >inb4 "muh SJWs rooning everything with their safe spaces!!!"
<SonicRainboom345> I do it around a Jewish person. He's fine with it. He makes them, too.
<DoctorCambrian> White Nationalists aren't technically nazis, but the distinction is irrelevant
<Piefish> SonicRainboom345, why does that matter?
<Athenodora> do anyone here wanna me to start citing the extremely interesting literature on the negative effect of regular explosure to microaggressions and similar? :D
<CyrusFiredawn> That is true.
<Metaphysician> I thought we were supposed to mock Nazis?
<Dr_Gates> nah, it's just people who don't face real adversity in life taking on the imagined offense of other people
<Dr_Gates> 'X might be offended by that, so it offends me as well, by proxy'
<Dr_Gates> only x didn't say anything
<Athenodora> Dr_Gates oh please
<DoctorCambrian> We are, but we don't mock nazis by calling people with no white nationalist affiliation "grammar nazis"
<Dr_Gates> so really, you're offended for nothing
<CyrusFiredawn> Mocking a negative concept can have the unfortunate side effect of making them not seem dangerous.
<stormfallen> Dr_Gates: this chat is probably majority LGBT+
- vestroyax has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
<Athenodora> I mean, first thing first we're talking about slightly shit assumption in term of "people who don't face real adversity"
<DoctorCambrian> Dr Gates not to be that guy but you seem to be the one offended here
<Piefish> Right guys, staff order, stop this now
- Binarydream has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
<Dr_Gates> yeah, i noticed, didn't stop me from coming here
<CyrusFiredawn> lolk
<Athenodora> like, are you feeling lucky today?
<Piefish> Guys
<Piefish> stop now
<SonicRainboom345> Grammar Nazi is a widely used term, guys. At least, in my experience.
<Athenodora> do you really want to defend this assumption right now?
<Piefish> If you are incapable of not using offensive terms then leave
