If Mort Divine ruled the world

I have never read HP books, so I am at the mercy of the article author's description, but there are several ways in which HP as described veers from simply a less masculine male to being outright female, the most important likely being the missing sense of "protecc".

So you have disdain for a book series you've never read? Aight

Transgender activist Jessica Yaniv loses 'wax her balls' complaint against salon workers.

"lost a court case she brought against estheticians who refused to wax her male genitalia"

what i instantly noticed is that the article is saying that waxing male genitalia and waxing female genitalia are apparently 2 completely different skill-sets that each require separate training

so instead of trying to get her balls waxed at a place that only waxes pussies
this big-boobed transgendered person who still has balls could have just gone out to a gayborhood and had her balls waxed at a place that waxes balls every five min which she prolly ended up doing before she even filed the fucking lawsuit

I loved the HP books as a kid but I was only an ardent fan up to book 4 (which came out in 5th grade for me).

The criticism of Harry Potter as an unrealistic male is bizarre for anyone that believes in the 80/20 rule of male hierarchy (which I'm pretty sure includes Dak). Beta men (and lower) are always a minority by definition, and I'm willing to bet that male readers of children's fiction are disproportionately introspective and beta as well. Fiction is broadly the entertainment of weak men, and where authors interject hyper-masculinity alpha protagonists can also be found meek losers, e.g. Robert E. Howard.

Anecdotally, most of the contemporary children's entertainment I can recall consuming as a kid also featured similarly beta male leads: Doug, Hey Arnold, Spongebob, various Goosebumps characters, etc, and the one major exception was Johnny Bravo, a negative stereotype. Even internationally, Evangelion became a ground-breaking success in anime in the 90s with its extremely weak male lead Shinji, who has been recapitulated 100s of times since. This may very well, of course, be a part of a worldwide plot to promote male femininity onto impressionable youths by the Judeo-Bolshevik-owned mass media, but Harry Potter was far from unique in that for its time.

In the US, I can't think of that much media with strong alpha protagonists in general, particularly among stuff that would be considered children-friendly. Johnny Quest was pretty macho (and one of my favorites), but it was also exclusively about men and boys. Looney Toons had its various characters show their heterosexuality, but generally as a part of a gag that involved the use of a female character as a trap.

I think another explanation is that for most of humanity's existence, culture and politics were dominated by a tiny minority of men who excelled in most things, including trials of masculinity. Various liberal movements saw the eventual legal emancipation of those men, though nothing that can undo biology. Nations have always needed less capable men to labor in the fields, in the factories, and on the front lines. Propagation of the species demanded that they still eventually get married and have children, but usually enabled through the institutions of family and religion. Today, the fields are filled with non-citizens, the factories have moved to China, and the draft has been over for 50 years. Further, traditional family values have eroded and sexual emancipation allows women to seek out higher-status men, so these weak beta men, while still playing a vital part of male gender/sexual norms as defined by millions of years of mammalian biology, become a new market for artists like Rowling and Anno to exploit.

most of the criticism of harry potter comes out of the fact that men write differently than women
Stephen King books are obviously written by a male, Stephanie Meyer books are obviously written by a woman

Well JP cant be right about everything. I dont recall HP coming up in 12 rules but I also didnt read it closely.

what the fucking hell??
this is as hilariously idiotic as when Trump started calling a living woman "Pocahontas"

 

[Blurry_Dreams]

I mean, sure.

Honestly I would stretch it even further, saying no woman should be compelled to touch ANY genitals against her will, irrespective of how the owner of the genitals identifies, and you know what? Let's do no PERSON and get it out of the way, because touching genitals against ones will is a no-no in general.

this post makes sense
but it's also making me think of a flaming-gay-guy somehow being forced to touch a vagina against his will as a joke-scene in some sort of low-brow-comedy-movie

apparently harry potter is a religion now

Yeah this is the key with Jessica Yaniv, he didn't actually give a fuck about not being able to get waxed, he got some kind of sick pleasure from forcing women to do this job on him. He didn't want to go to a manscaping place.

Jesus just how fucking retarded are you?

The algorithms that detect hate speech online are biased against black people.

A new study shows that leading AI models are 1.5 times more likely to flag tweets written by African Americans as “offensive” compared to other tweets.

Nice spin job here. If it were 1.5 times more likely to flag whitey Tweets the headline would be "White People Are More Likely To Use Hate Speech Online" but because it seems like black people are using hate speech online more than whitey it must mean the AI is biased.

Good luck getting AI to detect context so it doesn't include casual use of the N-word in its hate speech data.

The lyrics suggest the rapper regrets the secular music he’s built his fame on. In fact, West’s personal pastor recently revealed he had to convince the rapper not to quit rap music and that the star called the genre “devil’s music”.

This disavowal of secular music gives fans some insight into why the much-hyped Yandhi was never released. As West raps: “Everybody wanted Yandhi, then Jesus did the laundry.”

Based yeezy.

Tidy your staircase closet.

Real talk though, Peterson needs to either retire or take a long ass break, it isn't normal to cry as much as he does these days. He's crying so much even the anti-emotion shaming crowd are throwing caution to the wind and mocking him. It's weird and sad.

Woman sets person on fire in Taco Bell, may have gone on arson spree. Church, cars set ablaze.

A Tallahassee woman may have went on a arson spree Wednesday and Thursday, starting at a Taco Bell where one person was set on fire, cops say.

On Wednesday, Mia Williams, a 32-year-old who was born male but identifies as female, walked into a Taco Bell, doused a person with gasoline and then set them on fire, Tallahassee police said.

Spoiler: "WOMAN"

May or may not surprise people, but I'm loving this new Kanye. Hope it sticks.

Anti-secularism Kanye?

 

[Dak]

Anti-secularism Kanye?

The Christian thing is almost just a theme of justification. He's anti-Dem/anti-victim. Pro-localism. Pro-concrete change. Pro-action. He has fuck-you money and a following. If it sticks, and he doesn't just lose everyone, he's going to do more for not only black America, but younger people in general as well. He's turned completely into the cultural headwinds that sellouts like JayZ jumped 100% behind. Call it mental illness, call it courage, I don't care. He can be a massive force for positive change if he doesn't flake out or go crazy. Or get Clintoned.

 

[CiG]

Fair point, I definitely appreciate that he throws a wrench into a lot of the black identity politics that goes on in what would traditionally be his circles. "George Bush doesn't care about black people" was also a great moment.
