Being a 90s kid with a father who hated video games sucked.
Nerds haven't been shamed for being nerds since the 80's. This entire conversation is nothing but a certain demographic flaunting their persecution complex, and as an autistic nerd I find it disgusting when said demographic yells "wELL ACTUALLY WERE OPPRESSED TO", using my spectrum as a fig leaf.
You're pretty much the first person I have actively despised on the internet in a long time. I'd appreciate it if you'd put me on your ignore list. You bastard.
Because conversations about bigotry need to focus on the REAL persecuted group: nerds.
Well, since the red mist seems to be obscuring my meaning I'll elaborate:
What on earth does your post have to do with bigotry?
At least Jews are turned into boogeymen before being persecuted. Geeks are come down on for other people's sport.

I'm somewhat puzzled by this post, could you reformulate and include some extra context?

... I'm honestly sorry to say this, but what. Are you trying to insinuate that us Jews get off easier by being "turned into boogeymen before being persecuted"?
Why don't you just ignore him? It would be so much easier don't you think?I'm not your buddy. Leave me alone. Put me on ignore. Pretend I don't exist. I will never mention you in post, I will never quote you in a post, I expect the same. Leave me alone.
I think it's preferable to just being an easy target. At least when someone makes you into a scapegoat, they're getting something out of it. But with a geek, it's like you're just sport. An animal. If someone has to pretend I'm some kind of greedy vampire before coming after me, at least they see me as some kind of threat.
The defendants in this case are charged with murders, tortures, and other atrocities committed in the name of medical science. The victims of these crimes are numbered in the hundreds of thousands. A handful only are still alive; a few of the survivors will appear in this courtroom. But most of these miserable victims were slaughtered outright or died in the course of the tortures to which they were subjected.
For the most part they are nameless dead. To their murderers, these wretched people were not individuals at all. They came in wholesale lots and were treated worse than animals. They were 200 Jews in good physical condition, 50 gypsies, 500 tubercular Poles, or 1,000 Russians. The victims of these crimes are numbered among the anonymous millions who met death at the hands of the Nazis and whose fate is a hideous blot on the page of modern history.
Bigotry seems to remove itself with tech advancements, HIV isnt that big of a deal w current medications. More groups are meeting and connecting with access to each other.
Some stigmas seem to be foing away because of tech though, and feminism is doing wonders spreading its word.If this were true antisemitism wouldn't be on the rise.
People really need to stop ascribing passive solutions to bigotry like "wait for X generation to die" or "wait for technology/society to advance". It's a placebo solution that only allows bystanders to feel better for doing nothing.
Hard disagree. Technology is a tool that provides opportunities, I've seen, in small forums with limited populations, debate actually change people's opinions, but I've never seen it in the modern social media "scream into the void as a service" environment.Bigotry seems to remove itself with tech advancements, HIV isnt that big of a deal w current medications.
