Normalizes the notion that it’s normal at all to say things like “What if we don’t feel comfortable around X” when most of liberal America is fine or uncaring at worst. Of course a professor will dismiss the question, it shouldn’t be seen as something exceptional, it’s not heroic to tell an idiot to shut up. It’s continuing the atomization of ideologies. I don’t even care if it’s something that really happened, this kind of shit is used by both sides to ramp up hysteria. But I guess that ship has long since sailed.
If you haven’t spent time actively reading and understanding how the right thinks, talks and shares with each other in their own online spaces, you will think it’s ridiculous, so I don’t know why I tried to pass the message along here in these very sheltered communities. Maybe it will give someone something to think about.
I mean it is normal to want to discuss anything. I think one of the main problems of today is actually we can’t discuss anything for more than five minutes before someone gets lynched. But that is also because there are so many people that “discuss” stuff in bad faith that everyone else has probably lost faith in discussions.
On the issue of hysteria and normalizing stuff, in the span of a six months the US degraded from being the center of many branches of science and tech to a country that redacts its articles to censor words like transmission (because it contains trans, yea) and gender. I don’t think you can call it hysteria when it is really happening and has become the new normal.
“you will think it’s ridiculous”
I will think what is ridiculous? This event described in the meme? I find it worrying that someone gets so uncomfortable that he or she can’t treat a person based on their sexual and or gender orientation. On the other hand everyone has their limits and being a doctor is hard and perhaps it really is not for that person or he or she can’t deal with this. And this goes for both sides. You may be very liberally minded doctor but what happens when a wounded person they bring to the hospital turns out to be someone who raped a child? It is fucking brutal. If you can’t even make it past sexual orientation, how the fuck are you going to deal with such stuff?
