Even the white nationalist
We’ve only spelled out our goals eleventy billion times.
Policy goals – not allowing trans ideology to erode women’s rights and women’s prizes, set-asides, honors and the like. I think we’ve been very clear and very forthcoming about it. Where’s he been?
The replies are uniformly nuts.
“the genocidal” – yes sure, plus we’re vampires and that thing from Alien.
That’s an odd complaint from a man who couldn’t even give Andy Lewis a straight definition of what a woman is.
@Michael Haubrich:
What, you don’t consider “it’s a lot of things, not just sex” a good answer? Why, it’s SO good you can use it for the definition of Man,” too.
Sneering that our policy goals reduce down to something somewhere between bigotry and genocidal is them failing to realize that’s an artifact of their assumptions. I do not accuse the TRAs of promoting policies which reduce down to misogyny. That’s an artifact of my belief that TWA NOT W. I can argue that it’s an unintended product, though. If Void said we were unwittingly fostering values and results we don’t hold and wouldn’t want, that’s one thing. But no. He’s got to go full Righteous.
Never go Full Righteous.
Geesh, Ophelia, it’s a xenomorph.
(Having just learned the name, myself, about three days ago, I now must gloat my superior knowledge all over the Internet.)
Aka a Foreign Shape – which is quite similar to Alien Thing – so I win!!!
What is ETVPod even talking about? It’s ripped from its context, so I don’t know how we even know it’s directed at GC people, and their goals and policies.
Is that tweet in response to asking someone to articulate GC policies and goals, and the interviewee couldn’t state them?
Yes. I was (unconsciously) assuming everyone would remember ETVPod from the letter exchange with Andy Lewis a few days ago.
Ah. Brain like a sieve.
@James: Xenomorph was used originally just to mean, as Ophelia noted, some foreign, alien thing. From Aliens: “All we know is that there’s still no contact with the colony and that a xenomorph may be involved.” Lt. Gorman isn’t naming the species here; he is speaking like a bureaucratic officer who’s never seen a single combat mission, which is exactly what he is. Fans lacked vocabulary to understand this, so they thought xenomorph was the name. It’s much like how because Obi-wan wears robes in Star Wars, fans inferred that robes are the Jedi uniform, and thus Jedi wear robes forever more.
It makes my brain hurt sometimes.
Haha thanks, Nullius, you just reminded me of the time I finally confirmed a long-held suspicion that someone I worked with thought that “broken” and “fractured” were different degrees of injury. As in “it’s not broken, it’s just fractured” (she was pretending to have “fractured” but not “broken” her elbow at the time in order to guilt the person she blamed for having tripped over something that she herself had left lying around. Yes, it was a fun working environment). Lack of vocabulary, indeed.
I haven’t needed to think about this before, but Obi-wan is clearly wearing the standard “wise old man living a simple life in a desert environment” outfit. He’s using a fake name, why would he draw attention to himself by wearing his old Jedi uniform? Honestly, people are so stupid ;)
