@shadowferret@lanodan@graf@adequate@sun@j Apparently he was shot by his neighbor. Also the guy that played Dale is dead, too, Toby Huss took over after a few episodes. I'd be a little mistrustful but it'd be hard to find someone better to do it than Artie, the Strongest Man in the World. no_bullshit.mp4
@j@Deplorable_Degenerate@p@adequate@graf@zerosum@lanodan@shadowferret at various times different north american indian tribes had an arrangement where an inferior male could serve was a substitute wife figure this was in modern times abstracted into a claim that this represented wide native american acceptance of a third gender.
1. it was not in every tribe 2. it was different in every tribe it was in 3. it was accepted more or accepted less depending on the time period, I am not well versed but when I looked I found evidence that made it seem like it was never considered ideal for the people involved 4. the concept that unifies all these different things is a modern academic construct not a thing that existed 5. I'm not clear on how many drops of native blood you have to have in your veins before you genetically are capable of being two-spirit, it's quite amazing actually, a gender that only certain ethnicities can have or if you say you are it you are racist
1. the strong gender presentation we assume is normal in western society isn't much older than the 20th century 2. there's plenty of evidence that many indians hated the practices at various times too, basically indians are humans and are capable of acting on their own in "bad" ways before white people showed up
@j@Deplorable_Degenerate@p@graf@zerosum@lanodan@sun@shadowferret Something that doesn't exist, but they astroturfed to make it seem like prairie nibba are okay with trannyism. Granted there were a few tribes who recognized it for people who were hermaphrodites, allowing them to choose their appearance.
@sun@j@Deplorable_Degenerate@p@graf@zerosum@lanodan@shadowferret Nah, it wasn't common. That's the astroturfing. There were very clearly defined gender roles and hierarchies, and rules that enabled oral history cultures to avoid inbreeding and maximize genetic variance. It is still very evident in some tribes that held on to their oral traditions after the introduction of written language.
@adequate@j@Deplorable_Degenerate@p@graf@zerosum@lanodan@shadowferret it wasn't "common" it's not "real" but the group of disparate things it clumps together at least existed, it was never called two spirit and wasn't one thing and wasn't just like this thing that tons of tribes all acknowledged, no, I agree that part is fabricated. probably by white people tbh
@Deplorable_Degenerate@j@p@adequate@graf@lanodan@sun@shadowferret >gay marriage and got into a dispute with his homophobic neighbor. Mmmm, no, very unwise :veryunwise: . He likely was mentally ill and the "homophobic neighbor" bit is a lie. Persecution for no reason at all is very very uncommon and most of the mythos around "gay panic" stuff is fake and gay. Matt Walsh (he only strikes out or hits hard) got a homerun on this one.
> The fag deserved to die. How many kids did that faggot molest?
I'm gonna molest you.
Between this and adequate's "I rescind my F", the thread's fucked: once it starts escalating and these people start trying to compete for who hates teh gay most, it's all downhill. Wignats ruin everything. I didn't know the dude was gay, and I don't really care unless he actually *did* molest a kid, but the second these cunts get in a thread they make everything about their stupid imaginary culture war LARP and if you say a word, they start shrieking: "HOW CAN YOU DEFEND HIM YOU ARE PROBABLY YOU ARE SECRETLY A GAY RABBI CHILD-MOLESTING COMMUNIST".
It's like goddamn furries: here are a bunch of people *really* excited over something that makes no sense to you and if you say "I don't wanna hear about your creepy fetish" they jump straight to "I'M BEING ATTACKED". Some dipshit at work tries to tell you about getting more fiber or vegetarianism or whatever and they're talking about their bowel movements and you tell them to fuck off with that and it's all "I GUESS YOU HATE BEING HEALTHY". 2007-05-11 spider-man-molested.jpg
