Political Correctness thread

Lol

Funny thing about this hipster silliness is there isn't much real disagreement, except with wooly, because fuck that guy, but nothing is mutually exclusive here. LAX and other accurately detail hipsters and I'm pointing out that every grouping, even them, eat at chains from time to time( it's not like they never, ever eat at a chain, unless y'all have a special T2000 breed of hipsters out east) and when a group of hipsters are leaving hot topic or wherever the hell it is where they shop, and decide to eat at a chain for a change what chains are they most likely to pick? Ah ha!

Where I live there is a special group of people that are both hipsters and yuppies. They take pride in shopping at "boutiques" that specialize in labels that are unique to that store, but cost hundreds. They refuse to go to Starbucks b/c everyone goes there. Instead they go out of their way to find the newest cafe that preys on clients looking for the next "cool" spot. They only eat at restaurants that are unique to the area and if they have more than 2 restaurants open, they won't go. These places are the type that take pride in their wine bar with floor to ceiling wine storage that customers pretend to know anything about but happily fork over $25/glass. For breakfast and/or lunch, it's food truck or bust.

So yea, there are some around me that literally will not go into a chain like Panera or Chipotle, b/c they are both a hipster and yuppie.

Surprised that (to my knowledge) there's been no discussion of the upcoming Netflix original series titled "Dear White People" which from it's teaser appears to be as condescending as it sounds.

Glad to see we're giving a small collection of racist neckbeards the power to taint anything online simply by association. What could go wrong?

My high school's motto is Deus Vult and our team's were the Crusaders.

My Democrat parents scrimped to send me to Alt-Right High.

The best way that someone can confirm to me that they are old is when they say this.

A yuppie is the diametric opposite of a hipster. The only key thing they share is their youth.

Yuppies followed the yuppie lifestyle so that they would be considered cool and hip....today they would follow the hipster lifestyle in order to me cool and hip. Belief systems are not the key ingredient.

Title belongs to poster, not me (as always)

I am not taking sides on the Youtube poster profiled, and his very bad taste in jokes, but thought the article about the MSM and their continued attacks on anyone who is not with them interesting. The revolt against the MSM continues.

+1 for Youtube posters

I moved it from the Trump thread to here. Based on my understanding of the Pewdiepie controversy, this is the most appropriate thread for it.

Anyone who tries to act cool and hip isn't.

It always cracks me up when the 'settled science' crowd is like "nah, chromosomes? that's some witchcraft and a social construct." There's so much cognitive dissonance on the extremes of the right and left.

I thought that was hilarious satire at first, ala "Gaia's Dancing Indigo Children," but saw that was meant to be taken seriously by the person who wrote it. Yikes.....

If I want to assert my white privilege, do I do the opposite of these ten things? Or do I keep doing what I'm doing? I'm so confused. Being privileged is hard work.

Can us catholics make a thing called Jewish privilege since they are the highest earning religious group or does it not work that way?

Wow... one of the most disrespectful things I've seen in a long time. Is that satire or was that for real?

Carleton University comes under heavy criticism after gym scale removed - Ottawa - CBC News

'Those who are offended by the scale can simply choose not to use the scale.'

By Joe Lofaro, CBC News Posted: Mar 12, 2017 4:46 PM ET Last Updated: Mar 13, 2017 11:44 AM ET

Carleton University is feeling the burn from students on social media for removing a weight scale from its gym to promote a more holistic approach to a healthy body image.

The recent move isn't sitting well with several students who are accusing the school of kowtowing to a small group of gym users who are easily offended.

"Next it will be the mirrors. #bringbackthescale," wrote one Carleton student on Facebook, while another said online, "Are you for real, Carleton? What a sick joke."

Details of the scale controversy were first reported in the university's student-run newspaper, The Charlatan, on Thursday. In more social media reaction, others wondered if the online article was satire.

The paper quotes one student as saying, "Scales are very triggering" for people with eating disorders.

100% satire. Here's some other ones, all equally hilarious:

Good on the students for speaking out against the lunacy. Any fatass that would be triggered by the scale isn't going to be in the gym anyways.
