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 -
I mean, it's not something I actually look out for, but the last time I inadvertently interacted with a suspected tranny was at a suburban Burger King drive thru last year, and I saw the same person on the T last Fourth of July and I'm pretty sure there were anime pins on his/her backpack. I know that the owner of a flower shop near me employs a trans delivery driver, but that's because I know the owner and she mentioned that during a conversation in a bar. I'm sure I have seen one in the interim, and maybe even noticed, but it wasn't enough to register permanently.
I do have a second cousin who decided he was trans a couple years ago at the age of 30, but he sent an angry letter blaming them for "everything" and he hasn't appeared anywhere since, and it's been at least 15 years since I've seen him. His sister is getting married this summer and we're wondering if he will show up at the wedding. I know I'm one of the more liberal posters here but I have no special affinity for trans people, and my liberal family thinks this kid is nuts (we found out he's also a furry a few years back, because of course he is), and he is always dead named when he comes up in conversation, which isn't often.
As for Anthrocon, I haven't been downtown during the convention. I see them on the news, but that's about it. I occasionally see weirdos working at gas stations but I'm honestly not paying enough attention to speculate about their personal lives.
