This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Typically either white, or ambiguously brunette (It's Chicago, so there's lots of dusky women who could be some manner of mexican/puerto-rican/blatino/asianish, or a pretty european woman with a tan, or one of the really olive slavs.) but there were one or two Ask-Me-About-My-Blackness Black women, IIRC.
I find it offensive to my cognition that they have say "I Hate Racists and Racism" right there on the page in addition to "No Whites." How do they themselves not notice the contradiction while typing? I know they think you can't be racist to white people, definitionally, but the arrangement of the words should be enough for them to think "Hmmm, I know there's nothing technically inconsistent here, but maybe I should tighten this up a bit with a re-write". Also, if they hate white people so much, White People = Racist, so they could save space and just say "I Hate Racists," then white people and cops are covered (Oh, but not Cops of Color, dang).
I just don't believe that young women in major metropolitan areas are beset on all sides by legions of MAGA-cap-wearing, Fox-News-Watching, RNC-Attending, Heated-Gamer-Moment-Having young men who loudly bray how much they despise all the mud-people around women they want to fuck. I don't think these statements of preference are honest expressions of frustration, and I'm also annoyed that a guy's profile saying "No Fat Chicks" is treated as a fucking hate crime against women by these same people.
I want a meme or wall of shame or infographic or whatever that's just a compliation of Tinder profiles full of stupid political demands, with captions like:
"#CurrentYear Much?"
"Are you trying to connect with a human, or campaigning for office? Pick one"
"We can Tell What #CurrentThing was When You Last Updated This"
And they'd be well-selected, too. No obvious troll accounts or snapchat/OF bait, serious genuine profiles by people who look on the attractive end of normal. People of both genders. People who look like your friends. People who look like you. Holding up a mirror to people is just about the only "magic bullet" argument for changing minds in the culture war.
"I am trying to connect with a high-status human, by appearing to be high-status myself," so yeah, basically campaigning for office.
