I want that guitar pedal

It's got to be a boost or an overdrive right?

It looks like this dial can go a little beyond the current setting. Give it a try!

That nice girl feminism got us to lose abortion rights. I'm in the vengeance stage whether you like it or not.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 hours ago

It really doesn't. But it does make raging misogynists pissy and insecure.

The point of the dial is there is no middle ground. You either take it quietly or you're a troublemaker.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 minutes ago* (last edited 8 minutes ago)

I don't mean to diminish the larger point you're making about feminism not having middle ground, but from an interface design perspective, a dial very much implies a continuum of settings. When there isn't middle ground, the interface should be a toggle switch instead.

Of course this is art, not a real device, so obviously a dial is appropriate because it's a response to being told to "dial down," not "switch off."

(I almost feel like there could've been something different about the way the dial was depicted -- maybe with a range with "raging feminist" next to "complicit" and something more extreme above it, or maybe indeed using a toggle instead of a dial -- in order to emphasize that "raging feminist" already is as "dialed down" as you could reasonably ask for, but such UI realism would probably just clutter up the design without improving the message. As art, I think the artist got it right as-is.)

“raging feminism” often actually causes increased misogyny

Are you fucking high?!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 hours ago

This comes off weird. Especially when in context to the post.

[+] [email protected] -6 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I fully agree. This applies not only to feminism but in general - if you want to convince people about something, you need to plan your approach, what to say, know what works on people etc. You cannot just rage like crazy because there's a high chance you just create a counter reaction.

F.e. I'd say we can all agree that gay rights are the right thing. But if you come to some conservative village, start shouting at everyone, being super aggresive and rage like a maniac, I'd bet that the only thing you achieve is that you'll be labeled as "that crazy person"

I'm really surprised of the responses to this comment, I find this to be a common sense

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Got a lot of the same vibes, really

The closer a person and the people they care about get to the chopping block the less common sense it seems.
