Nope, no true Scotsman deals with subjective definitions. There is an objective definition of feminism that those people don't fit; invalid.

Or maybe, we can lighten up without perpetuating harmful stereotypes that a woman's personal worth is tied to her sexual purity. Just sayin.

If that's the case, something has gone horribly wrong

Which is, again, entirely not how it works.

Which were the bloodline of Isildur. The kings of Gondor were of the bloodline of Isildur's brother, Anarion.

Aragorn is not the heir of Earnur, as he is not of the same bloodline as Earnur. He is descended from the line of the northern kings

Nope, early medieval conversions were elite-based and peaceful transactions

This description of the Kenyan situation is shit. Can't talk about these British camps without noting the actions of Mau Mau.

Nope, NTS fallacy deals with subjective criteria. As the definition of feminism is objective, and they don't fit it, NTS does not apply.

Oh yeah, absolutely. There are a few crazies out there who try to enforce their headcanons, but they're outliers.

But it goes even deeper. Headcanon isn't "Wouldn't it be cool if"; it's "This is what I'm accepting the backstory is, independent of proof.

Shame that the MRAs and their ilk seem to be out in force today. Would love to see you have more points.

But where's the cringe-worthy dialogue?

And in 1915 the Brits machine-gunned the German's Christmas Trees.

....The phrase is "Rich as Croesus". For an Anatolian king reputed to be the richest man ever.

And the FACT is that not everyone preaches or practices peace and harmony. Especially when it comes to racial equality.

So it is an issue.Period. And we can either nut up and deal with it. Or use useless platitudes to self-justify our own apathy.

No, but you can educate them. Try to convince them. Wake them up. If you just throw up your hands and roll over, nothing will be solved.

Sounds like you're getting butthurt at people having an opinion different from your own...

2 And linking an imgur post that contains no citation and also doesn't even claim that the culprits were actual activists with BLM

1 It's easy to preach peace and harmony when you're the privileged party.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Which is the purpose of BLM. The only people continuing a divide are those who misconstrue their message, whether intentionally or otherwise

But if you just leave everyone to their own devices, that realization will never come. Slogans and mobilization help bring that realization.

3 The "Blue Lives Matter" movement is simply another form of retorting with "ALM" It dodges the question of truly making our society beter.
