To Mask or Not To Mask?

That's fine, you're just using it in the expansive 'white girl I don't like' sense, which in your case means white woke progressives.

[Horace]

No, it was more subtle than that, but it's fine that you didn't follow that part. There was the unintentional splash damage of an explosive device she encourages.

[jon-nyc]

The idea that it wasn't you that expressed animus towards her, rather it was a splash from the culture, strikes me as - how should I put it? - a less than Vulcan level of self awareness.

[Horace]

Except I never claimed not to have animus towards her, jon. Can you point me to where I said that, oh objective one?

[jon-nyc]

You didn't state it, it just seemed to me you were trying to duck owning it.

If you say you weren't, that's good enough for me.

[Horace]

You think I try to duck ownership of an animus towards white woke progressives? Do you need another coffee or something?

[jon-nyc]

Of course. I will die not having had enough coffee.

DaFuq????

Did @jon-nyc just make a Star Trek reference???

[Horace]

It was a WTF reference. Wtg said she was so objective and fact-based that she was basically Spock, and I raised my eyebrow (see what I did there?) at that. So jon tried to flip it back on me because jon sticks up for his friends, even the profoundly sanctimonious and pretentious among them.

I'll believe it when I see a photo.

C'mon, show us your "raised an eyebrow" pictures.

[Horace]

I can raise my right eyebrow but not my left.

@Horace said in To Mask or Not To Mask?:

I can raise my right eyebrow but not my left.

I'm exactly the opposite.

[Horace]

Are you right-dominant or left-dominant in your hands and feet?

Right.

[Horace]

Me too. I wonder if there's a correlation between that and eyebrow control, and if so, which one of us is weird. I bet that's the sort of thing that could be googled.

No, it seemed to me that you called this girl a Karen because she struck a nerve being a pretty young girl teasing right wing incels. But then it seemed like you were not owning the insult, rather it seemed to me you were claiming that she was a textbook example of what society considers a Karen and you were simply pointing that out. (Like wtg claiming to be just reporting the news, not making her own point)

So yeah, I detected a lack of self awareness.

For the record I thought your criticism of WTG was both funny and on point.

[Rainman]

Horace and Jon both agreed:
"...because jon sticks up for his friends, even the profoundly sanctimonious and pretentious among them."

Thanks Guys! I'm just, just. . . overjoyed you noticed me!

Except it's pretty weird to accuse me of not owning a willingness to insult white progressives, cute young girls or otherwise. It's sort of one of my main points here that they're a problem. And there is no way you do not know that. Your real point here is that you had a flash of insight that it struck a nerve that she was a pretty girl insulting an "incel". That's nice jon.
