I appreciate what The Yellow Wallpaper was trying to do and I'm glad that it exists (especially as someone who would've 100% been subjected to that sort of treatment if I'd been alive back then) but I just couldn't get into it, I thought it was a bit too short. My copy was also formatted really badly though.

about ten minutes ago, we watched the Gay and Lesbian Marching Band and my grandma said that it's discriminatory that they wouldn't let a straight person join the marching band and I :) want :) to :) scream :)

dskfghbdfkjhsdfkgvb it's not fucking discrimination, you homophobe :)

Homophobes when members of the LGBTQ+ community want to join something: no ew
Homophobes when members of the LGBTQ+ community start their own version of that same something: wait no let the straights join that's discrimination you're going to hell

god yes exactly. It's like. If you were part of a Christian marching band, you wouldn't let an LGBTQ person join. so don't say it's discrimination. I love her, but gkjsdhfbkgsjdfhb

going to rant

Crytyping is extremely guilt trippy and occasionally manipulative
People like to say that making fun of it/disliking it is ablelist but I’ve seen it used to guilt trip people. I’ve had it used against me, to guilt trip me.
And I feel as though some people do over exaggerate it? Like I can see making mistakes when someone’s really upset or scared, and they might not have time to go and correct it. But I’ve seen some crytyping that took me a minute or so to decode because of how jumbled it all was.
For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s a thing that I commonly see on certain twitter communities (but I have heard of it happening on tumblr) where people begin to type and they have grammatical errors in what they’re saying, making it seem as though the person were ‘crying.’
E.G.

Thi;;s is aN example oof ccrytyping

It’s kind of a grey area for me, since not everyone who does this does it to manipulate people, and there are some that legitimately cannot help it. But it’s just the amount of times in the past (within recent times esp.) that have used it as a way to get everyone on their side or to sympathize with them, just really tics me off. The person could’ve actually done something bad/been in the wrong, they could just start ‘crytyping’ and boom, they’ll have people on their side.
And then there’s been cases where someone livetweets worrying content. They might not always crytype in this case, but I’ve seen things happen where I could be really worried because the person hasn’t been active in a few hours (after some worrying messages) then they get back on, and proceed as though nothing happened (hence why it feels like manipulative behaviour. I get that some people really DO need help at times, but I feel that there’s better ways to send out a message than possibly worry (or even trigger other people) whoever sees the messages. Again, it’s sort of a grey area for me, since crytyping is not always something that can be avoided; some people really do get that upset and they can’t help it.
But most of the time, I’ve seen it used as a tactic to control how people perceive them (the person getting called out.)

Back to Twitter, I’d also like to mention (and this goes for in general) that the “I’m a minor ://“ isn’t a get out of problems free card. I don’t condone people sending weird images and harassing the person who got called out, but if they say something bad, then, maybe DMing them is the better option to try and let them know? (And of course, if their DMs aren’t open, you could always just @ them.)
I’m going to be honest, if people didn’t call me out on some of the stuff I’ve said when I was younger, I would probably pretty bad today. I didn’t say anything particularly nasty - but I feel, that with those people who actually spoke up, I learned and became a better person overall.
Now there ARE certain situations where saying “I’m a minor” could work. But if someone says something racist, then of course I’ll make an attempt to educate them on it. No matter if they’re a minor OR adult.

It is still discrimination. But not all discrimination is equal. I’m sorry Lol. Discrimination is not inherently bad. At least in concept. It has very negative connotations because discrimination is normally used for say, racist purposes (that is if we talk about it as an action.) Discrimination I start like judgement. Judgement is a very good thing, but people don’t like it because of how the word Judging is used in our modern society.
So it is discrimination. And that’s not a bad thing. Christian Club shouldn’t have to include Satanists. Gay Parades shouldn’t have to include straights. Called Freedom of Association and it’s a good thing.

The church thing is probably not the best example, sorry Ice although I do get your point, because there are gay Christians, but excluding them, it's discrimination because it's saying "We don't like you and we don't want you in our band" while the marching band not including straight people is saying "we're proud of who we are and want this thing for us because we don't have much", similar to Hamilton. Your Satanist thing isn't discrimination in the same way, because the church band isn't saying "we don't like you" they'd be saying "this is for our religion to praise a god you don't believe in"
Discrimination is based on things like gender, race, and sexual orientation, and it comes from a place of hate, so yes, it is inherently bad. While you may think judgement is good in some cases, God saying "you've sinned" or a judge being like "you committed this crime" and not giving someone rights, a home, a job, etc because you don't like some unchangeable aspect of them are not the same thing

@Althalosian-is-the-father book

Discrimination can be based off of literally anything. And you should be able to put a No Boys Allowed sign on your hunting store geared to really cool girls. It’s dumb. But people shouldn’t be able to force stuff on you against you will.

Look at the word "dis-crim-in-ating"
Crim probably comes from the same root as "criminal" and "dis" is to remove in this case, so discrimination is removing people with a percieved criminal trait. It's always biased (defintionally).
Judging people isn't inherently bad- if I see someone sweating nervously with something shoved up their shirt rushing out of a store, then it would be a sound judgement to say that person is shoplifting. But discrimination is inherently bad- that would be me seeing a black person in a store and automatically assuming they must be committing theft (racial profiling=discrimination).
Judging is making informed accusations or descriptions, while discrimination is, definitionally, "the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex."

@Pickles group

Because.. it's for girls. Not boys. Having a store for girls isn't discrimination either.
It should also be noted that women, people of color, and queer people, are all minorities and/or already being discriminated against and can't do any real, massive harm to the people discriminating against them. No amount of "we won't serve straight white men" is going to cause straight white men to become the oppressed minority

@berlioz

Actually, having a (public) store only for girls is discrimination because it's leaving out a protected class (males as a sex).

"Under federal anti-discrimination laws, businesses can refuse service to any person for any reason, unless the business is discriminating against a protected class.

At the national level, protected classes include:

Race or color
National origin or citizenship status
Religion or creed
Sex
Age
Disability, pregnancy, or genetic information
Veteran status"

@ElderGod-kirky group

judgement and discrimination are not the same thing. that should be common knowledge. I can judge a person without preventing them from doing something, even if i'm judging them for it. but the moment i prevent them from doing something just because of their gender, race, age, sexuality, or whatever, then it becomes discrimination, and that's Not Good

You just used speculation and assumed your thought was the truth in order to back your argument. And you were wrong. It comes from the word discern (or a Latin version of). Your argument is more than flawed. It’s baseless.

Judging people isn't inherently bad- if I see someone sweating nervously with something shoved up their shirt rushing out of a store, then it would be a sound judgement to say that person is shoplifting.

Or not but whatever it’s for an argument so sure. Sorry, I sound like an ass probably.

But discrimination is inherently bad- that would be me seeing a black person in a store and automatically assuming they must be committing theft (racial profiling=discrimination).

Except it’s not. It’s differentiating between people for an arbitrary or nonarbitrary reason.

Judging is making informed accusations or descriptions, while discrimination is, definitionally, "the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex."

Except it’s not. But you were right in your description of judging.
Just gotta clarify that I’m not having bad vibes to you.

Bitch.
You got me in the first part, that was an assumption, but I did say probably.
But this part is literally the definition of discrimination.
Here ya go, since you can't do it yourself lol

It is. Y’all got the wrong definition.

No amount of "we won't serve straight white men" is going to cause straight white men to become the oppressed minority

I mean they could theoretically kill people stand stuff. So not powerless. But I get what you’re trying to say.
I will also point out that in some Leftist circles the Straight White Man is becoming pretty darn hated and put down lingually. First step to being political enemies that are denied rights, if I know my history.

@ElderGod-kirky group

That is the definition of discrimination, Dom

Merriam-Webster Definition of discrimination
a : prejudiced or prejudicial outlook, action, or treatment
b : the act, practice, or an instance of discriminating categorically rather than individually
