Finding Dory - A

Okay everyone, Pixar remembered how to make sequels. Maybe we’ll never have a travesty like Cars 2 ever again. Fingers crossed.

Agreed.

Personally I love Toy Story 2 and don’t give two shits that Dek hated it.

I wouldn’t even say I hate it. I just find it kind of annoying. It’s merely a mediocre sequel to a film I love, that I really don’t care about. And if anything, it’s the praise for perfection in gets that I hate.

I tried to corral 30 fat lesbians and force them towards this forum like an Australian Shepherd but at the last minute they veered off and scattered. I’m almost positive they ended up at Huffington Post.

I can’t even. . . .

I see you’ve met Stinky.

It seems like you have so much time to post on this forum. Like, do you even have a job, or is this your job?

I’m paid 5 cents each time I post.

Now that’s a Frink reply.

My issue with the PC culture is that a lot of people who practice it, use it to side step what it is meant for, while saying they believe in and stand by what it was designed for. They white-wash (maybe black-wash, girl-wash, boy-wash, and what not too) everything they say to deceive people and hide their intentions. Telling it like it is pulls no punches and leaves room for people to be themselves while learning about others and finding a common middle ground in a world that can still be unforgiving no matter what PC thinks it’s bring to the table.

Are you saying that “PC Culture” (whatever that means) is some sort of kabal that is trying to… something?

Is it objectively dumb?

ALLOL

DominicCobb said:

Some people do it wrong but the point of PC culture is treating others with respect. It’s coming from a good place, which makes me simply baffled when people call it things like “despicable.”

Personally, I feel being vehemently against PC culture is ridiculous. In my opinion, when you criticize people for criticizing real issues, you become a part of the problem,
because you are showing that you are more concerned with people who are supposedly infringing upon your liberties than people who are actually having their liberties infringed upon (which is what they’re concerned with).

Precisely.

Also the concept of this thread is dumb.

Maybe.

I can assure that I was being totally sincere. I just want to make sure that you are in a non-hostile internet environment, and I don’t want to hinder that. As such, I will not talk about the topic from this point on.

You started this thread mang, now you’re stuck with it, so you might as well keep the discussion moving so you may find the answers to your query.

I think that I was unclear in my phrasing there. I probably should have said that I would not discuss the “female vs. women and girls” phrasing topic. I will still contribute to the overall topic of improving diversity on this forum.

It sounds like you feel there’s a real lack of diversity here. Where does this feeling come from? Why do you believe this diversity deficit (which, if it exists, has occurred naturally) needs artificially altering? What ideas do you have for solving this “issue” as you describe it?

It seems that most of the people on this forum are men and boys, according to pronoun usage and own self-admission by the users.

Having more diversity allows more people of different opinions and minds to collaborate together. Though, this may be reproduced by just having more people. Also, it feels nice to hear fresh and new voices.

I currently have no ideas on how to fix the issue. That was the purpose of the thread in the first place.

I agree, I feel like forcing people to not be anonymous here could really hurt the site. It’s a bit Gestapo-y to be asking for “papers, please” upon signup.

And yes, anonymity is one of the great things about most places of the internet. The absence of anonymity is one of the major reasons Google+ failed. So yes, you’re correct that we shouldn’t remove a sense of anonymity on this website.

Good grief. Good grief, do I ever despise passive aggressive people. Good grief, good grief, good grief.

I wasn’t trying to be passive aggressive in my post. I apologize for any confusion that that may have caused.

Now I’ve vented, could I suggest the OP make a list of what he or she wants to achieve with this thread (which has apparently become a “discussion”).

Your markdown syntax can make bullet points, it says so in most of HansiG’s posts.

I would like to:

• Discuss ways to increase the diversity of the Original Trilogy forums, and not just with gender
• Discuss the issue in general

How do you plan on doing that if there’s literally no way of knowing what gender/nationality a user is, when all you have to go by is an icon and a screen name?

I don’t mean to be cynical, I am just being realis…actually, for some reason I don’t think that the phrasing I’m looking for.

You’re bringing up a great point there. Though, from what I’ve heard from other people, this forum is almost a hundred percent male.

Tyrphanax said:

Wouldn’t “Male” be the clinical form of “Men”? Same as “Female” is the clinical form of “Woman”?

Yes. You are correct.

My goal with this thread wasn’t to “look to meet girls,” it was to increase the people on this forum who aren’t men.

However, has this thread has played out over the past twelve hours, it seems that it is failing miserably at that. That is why I proposed to lock the thread in an earlier post sense there seems to be no further room for discussion on this topic.

You refer to guys as “men” but the word “female” is too clinical for you? I’m thinking you’re just younger than me due to your use of the term “girls” to describe females or women.

This could be part of my confusion with your insistence on specific terminology due to your aversion to the “clinical” version.

I would like to say that I am using the phrase “women and girls”.

If this topic is making you uncomfortable I can stop discussing it.

I am as uncomfortable discussing this as you are insistent that the word “female” is too clinical for but the word “men” is not.

You may discuss whatever you like, this is off-topic.

I appreciate your concern if that is what you are expressing for whatever reason. If you were being sarcastic, no need to be, this is a discussion.

I can assure that I was being totally sincere. I just want to make sure that you are in a non-hostile internet environment, and I don’t want to hinder that. As such, I will not talk about the topic from this point on.

Let me add my two cents:

A movie (or any piece of art) can be objectively bad or good. There are plenty of aspects in which, say, Attack of the Clones fails. This is the objectivity of art. Bad dialogue, acting, and storyline make a movie bad. These things are basically what makes a movie a movie, and failing at that is enough to call a movie “bad”.

However, you can still like an objectively “bad” movie. For example, Sharknado is an objectively bad movie, but I still kind of love it sense it entertains me. A movie’s “bad” or “good” status doesn’t hinder your ability to like it.

This is why PC culture is despicable. “You disagree with me? It’s because you hate women and minorities!”

This is why anti-PC culture is despicable. “I can’t hate women and minorities without being called a misogynist or a racist!”

Cogent.

Though it does describe a general problem with society now.

We need PC culture because a Mac culture would be filled with Starbucks, hipsters, and idiots.

Mac user right here. I do not agree with your characterization. (Though you are most certainly joking, so I can excuse that. 😉)

I don’t like to use the term “female” sense it seems a bit clinical and cold.

We remembered you saying that the first time, we continue to not care.

That’s OK. 😉
