Send me bad puns. Good puns welcome too.
Nope. Whether nudity is acceptable and whether clothing I don’t like is acceptable are two different questions, not two sides of the same coin. In particular the latter seems to be always rooted in xenophobia, which makes it more or less independent of how one feels about the former.
Yes. In many parts of the world most Western women’s dress would be immediately tagged as sexualized clothing (which, tbf it was originally; it just got normalized).
Japan: We are not a vassal state (no really they say this in an argument with the Japanese Communist Party).
Meanwhile Japan:
Europeans: We are not vassal states.
Also Europeans:
Weird, the few times I’ve used it I had no problem with my VPN.
Nope. At some point you gotta accept your farts.
Okay that sounds shady (specifically the Indian medicine bit, everything else is frankly not a big deal), but not in a way that’s relevant to the contents of the video or the top comment. Again, ad hominem is a fallacy for a reason, or in other words: What’s the ulterior motive?
Pure ad hominem, and unsubstantiated ad hominem at that. The man in the video makes an argument and backs it up by evidence (and, you know, his decade of relevant professional experience). There’s straight up zero substance to anything you said (except the reprimand bit, but then you have to explain the contents of that reprimand and why they’re relevant here).
That isn’t what most people would consider a source.
From my long, long experience arguing with people on the internet, the words of a practicing, licensed professional with relevant experience absolutely do count as a source, at least enough to establish a baseline for debate. At this point the burden of (dis)proof is on the accuser to provide evidence that says otherwise.
What was provided is a YouTube video of an entertainer who livestreams.
Most intellectually dishonest thing I’ve read today. You know that the contents of the video are meant to be backed not by the words of “an entertainer who livestreams,” but by his education, over a decade of relevant professional experience and all the statistics and papers he keeps citing in the damn video.
Give me something peer reviewed, not a video of him spouting his platform.
Okay three things here: First, “spouting his platform” of going to therapy but with a disclaimer that might help some people get more out of it? Like, this isn’t exactly a bombshell, nor does he say “screw therapy pay me.” There’s no perverse incentive or anything of the sort here. Second, I’ve never ever seen anyone start off an internet argument with “give me something peer reviewed.” This isn’t an academic paper. If you want something peer reviewed, you’ll have to start off with something peer reviewed first. Third, by that standard all media for non-academics is a no-go, which is not how any internet argument I’ve ever seen went. If that’s the standard you want to set then sure, but you don’t get to enforce it on other people.
Downvotes aren’t an “I disagree button,” y’all. This person makes a well-articulated point with a credible source; if you don’t like it either explain why or move on.
That’s a pretty fucking sexist thing to say.
Complete non-sequitur. Just… what?
I mean to be fair people having parasocial relationships with AI is absolutely a thing. The post could be lying, but it’s well within the realm of possibility.
Bombing Yugoslavia was one of the small handful of good things NATO ever did, but the other person is talking about the civilian casualties here. One would presume the people involved in murder and rape don’t count towards those number.
I understand that, but ultimately the assumption being made here is that arguments about nudity and arguments about, say, hijab are coming from the same place when they’re just not. The nudity people and the “clothing I don’t like is bad” people are running on fundamentally different logic, so there can be no one response to both. For starters, it’s not a coincidence that the latter usually get riled up about Muslims. The solution is to address the relatively uncontroversial subject of nudity as the local community sees fit and address the “hijab (and similar) is bad” problem by getting people to stop being bigots. To repeat, these are two different debates and there’s no reason to expect one to apply to the other.
