And my mother said if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Communicating ethically is more important than communicating at all.

Communicating clearly is also important. But communicating ethically is more important. Like most people, I’d rather be called a nice word I don’t know than a homophobic slur I understand perfectly well. Wouldn’t you?

Well then it’s not yours. And it should be paid. If the labour regulations say you have to take an unpaid break, the labour regulations are bad.

I think we all have a duty to communicate ethically moreso than to communicate clearly. People are used to hearing the partial version of NPD because of cultural stigma. We know more than them, and that means we have a duty to educate them.

NPD. Go read psychology textbooks until you’ve got a basic grasp of mental health verbiage.

Your concern for Idaho’s treatment of disabled kids isn’t instead of wanting Israel’s genocide to stop

I think it’s kinda weird that you used the whole initialism for only one of those disorders. You could have used it for both or neither, but you didn’t.

It’s very simple: they don’t love their children.

And to anyone who’s going to disagree, no. True love is wise. True love is curious. True love wants to seek out the truth. Love without knowledge, love without empathy? That’s not true love. That’s toxic infatuation. Possessiveness.

If you’re a European/American/Oceanian with a bank account in the black, you’re probably in the global 1% who use six times your share.

Look, I’m not an ecofascist, but if I was, I’d be saying kill all white people. Instead, because I’m generally a nonviolent person, I’m saying slash the tires on white people’s cars. And anyone else who lives in a majority white country. These are places where most of the population are the global 1%.

Spears are sharp.

Of course people can be tricked, and that’s why I don’t trust Shinigami Eyes. If a critical mass of people are tricked, then Shinigami Eyes helps with tricking everyone else.

a whisper network is most commonly when (usually) women inform each other about men who are sexual predators, (usually) in workplaces.

Oh, that makes sense then. I’ve only ever heard the term within the trans community, and most of the trans people I know (myself included) are t4t and gay. I don’t know what the cishet people are up to. In the trans community, whisper networks are for well-connected abusers to DARVO their less popular victims. The victim has no opportunity to respond to the accusations and may not even know about them until all their friends have cut contact.

And that’s one of the issues cited by Norway’s data protection authority with Shinigami Eyes:

It is Datatilsynet’s view that to be marked through Shinigami Eyes may entail negative consequences for the data subject, regardless of whether they are marked as being pro- or anti-trans. Being marked as anti-trans could cause one to lose their job, or friendships, and the individual could be the target of hate and mistreatment. Being pro-trans could, in certain communities (for example religious or very conservative communities), be construed as negative as well, similar reactions as described above could be imposed on the data subject. The negative impact must be viewed as particularly intensive, in light of the individualised nature of the marking, in addition to the data subject not having information about the marking nor understanding why they received such a marking. It is therefore also in particular difficult for the data subject to present an opposing view. This could also entail fear, irritation and other broader emotional impacts, which, according to the WP29, must be taken into account in this balancing act.

[…]

In addition, it must be taken into account that since the processing is occurring without the appropriate information being provided to the data subjects, the data subject is prevented from exercising their right to object in accordance with GDPR Article 21. The lack of adequate information being provided to the data subject will be further examined below in its own section.

Personally, I agree with this legal decision. The final verdict from the data protection authority is that the legitimate interest of trans people to be warned of transphobia by an app, which is easier than using their own judgement, does not outweigh subjects’ right to safety from profiling and their right to object. Who decides whether a user’s submission is added to the bloom filter? A machine learning heuristic and an unknown, unidentified group of people who the Norwegian government was unable to track down. There is no accountability.

I have only ever heard the term “whisper network” said in the context of bullying, typically of trans women. I just googled it, and apparently some people see whisper networks as positive? I’m stunned, it’s like hearing someone say conspiracies are a useful tool for abuse victims.

Personally, I believe in open discussion in which both sides are considered impartially by bystanders. This still has the flaw of favouring stronger rhetoricians, but at least it doesn’t privilege people with social connections over people who are isolated. Which is what whisper networks do. And is why pedophiles love to work as priests and other community pillars.
