I would actively encourage you to reread your post. I'll use a buzzword that you probably hate, but your post reeks of privilege. This is very clear by your statement of "but most of the time i don't absorb any of these social justice issues because frankly it doesn't effect me". Simply because something doesn't affect you directly doesn't mean that you shouldn't care about it. This is the kind of selfish thinking that results in these hateful concepts being allowed to propagate out of ignorance.

Ask yourself this: If you saw someone attempt to kick a dog to death would you intervene? You could argue that if you saw it happen it affected you, but what if it was behind a closed door? Social justice isn't a visibility problem, you don't get to ignore it just because you choose to not see it, because there are people actively living it. Take your fingers out of your ears.

You state that you would rather have people sit down and debate you without judgement and bias, but how am I supposed to have a debate like that with a person who writes "i would rather just let that person believe what they want to believe and i'll go on holding my values strong", like what am I supposed to convince you of at that point?

I understand you don't mess with people who insult you, but your first reply literally was an insult.

No, this is how equality is achieved, by propping up and giving aid to the people who don't have equal representation.

If I have $10 and you have $20, and I receive $10 to make us equal, I definitely received preferential treatment, but that only resulted in us being equal. This is the goal of the "preferential treatment" you argue against. Note that the amount of "propping up" to do is a very delicate balance, and impossible to apply in a general sense because it's hyper individualized, so we do our best.

yes the thread was deleted

im not using an alt, i just lurk

it's a good 'trick to trap people' because it's a legitimate argument that you're sidestepping, along with my first point

let me address your argument:

• the world will never be fully equal/fair - i agree
• because everyone has a different view of equal/fair - i also agree with this, though I believe a lot of varying opinions are born out of ignorance
• this has always been the case and will always be the case - meaningless statement
• anyone fighting for equality will fight a losing battle the entire time because people will always be different - this is historically false, look at any marginalized group that has risen up anywhere (see: women fighting to vote, disabled people fighting for wheelchair ramps, general labor strikes, indigenous communities fighting for representation, etc.)
• people trying to force their version down other peoples throats are the problem imo - how else are you supposed to learn about something, do you expect to absorb the information from the water you drink? I understand you don't want an aggressive argument, but this perspective is childish. I feel like this is the crux of your argument, so let me state this simply: Many marginalized groups have tried to peacefully inform the general public of their existence and validity, and have been ignored. What would you propose they do when they are ignored? Go back home and give up?
• I'm not trying to force my view down your throat and i don't care about you, why do u have to shove your view down my throat type of thing. - you posted first blud, forcing me to scroll past this stupid take

sure, I agree we'll never hit 100% equality, but is your argument really "we can't be 100% equal to everyone, so we might as well just ignore all social issues"

do you think women should have not fought for their right to vote? i'm sorry but they had to force their vision down your throat to get that right because bigots like you didn't want to budge. "after all, why change something that isn't broken?" they say.

you can just admit that you're uncomfortable with transgender people existing, it's okay.

are there english costreams for the JP games?

Explanation from TOs on why this is a BO1:

tl;dr - need to fit event into two days, wanted to give teams enough time between lower bracket final + grand final so the showmatch is a bo3

This is true, but many states require sexual reassignment surgery to change your gender on documents, and I think TN explicitly bans changing your gender on official docs.

I would imagine this only is possible if you live in a country that officially recognizes being transgender or non-binary though, which is definitely not the case currently.

Hoping the viewership is good, more support for GC from the Valorant community only means more resources towards GC players in the future.

https://github.com/Rodeoclash/vodon-pro is a pretty good resource.
