  • God, the number of people here who don’t know what “more likely” means is insane. Just because you aren’t trans, enby or disabled doesn’t mean the study is bullshit because you hate AI. It means that if you walk up to a random person and ask them about AI, they’re more likely to hate it if they exist in one of those groups.

    Secondly, studies like this have value because they can clue people into issues that a community is having. If everyone is neutral about a thing, except for disabled people (who hate it), then maybe that means that the thing is having a disproportionately negative impact on disabled people. Studies like this are not unlike saying “hey, there’s smoke over there, there might be a fire.”












  • Edit: Yep, knew it’d be unpopular. Rather than just downvoting me, though, why not tell me why you disagree?

    Because I don’t even know where to start. The biggest part, I suppose, is that if you give them a space like this, it normalizes the movement. People stop feeling like there is something wrong with disliking the LGBT community, the movement grows as it is no longer stigmatized, and LGBT rights backslide.

    Furthermore, holding a “hetero pride” festival during pride month is inherently bigoted as well. Pride month exists because straight people wouldn’t let gay people express themselves otherwise. Your idea isn’t totally unlike the idea of letting klansmen openly hold festivals during Black History month so they stop harassing black people.




  • Did she get snubbed by someone who’s ace or something? Asexuality is possibly the most inoffensive sexuality in existence.

    Like, oh no.

    They don’t experience sexual attraction.

    That means they’re probably significantly less likely to objectify or assault you than someone who isn’t ace. Isn’t that a good thing for someone supposedly so concerned with being objectified and violated, Miss Rowling?

    What a wildly brain-dead take from someone who loves claiming to be a feminist.

    (Yes, I know she’s not actually a feminist, but it’s another piece of hypocrisy to throw on the pile)
