48. I don't find "death of the author" convincing.
If the author said his work meant to say "the sky is blue", I don't give a crap how you want to interpret the work, it's objectively true that the work meant to say "the sky is blue".
But if you can present evidence that "the sky is blue" is inconsistent and self contradictory with the work and other things the author said about his work, then I'm listening. Cause this could be a case of the author changing statements to align to new paradigms. An easy example of this is how the Wachowskis suddenly The Matrix is about being trans.
But without presenting such evidence, that the author had ulterior motives behind his words, "death of the author" doesn't stand imo.
47. Not a fan of any body modification that is meant to be permanent. Only reason tattoos are technically no longer permanent, is cause we've invented painful laser surgery procedures to get rid of them.
46. Transhumanism is kinda similar to human gene editing. I don't really want it, but it's gonna happen eventually.
45. I don't have a formed opinion on rail privatization. I can think of good arguments on both sides.
43. Gamergate was the most important social movement of the 2010s, but it failed massively. Anyone who thinks Gamergate won is deluding himself.
42. Internet culture is the real road towards "globalism", not the BS governments try to engineer.
40. Bad thing, but the people doing it the most are also the ones that constantly attempt to change definitions to accommodate them.
37. Not my thing. I don't care if it's your thing, just don't do it in public or around children.
35. If you're against "cultural appropriation", you're basically a pre-civil rights racist, that wants to segregate all minorities in their little boxes, where no one can share anything with them.
34. Don't breastfeed in public. I don't want there to be laws against it, as it's kinda stupid to be that bothered by it, but also please just don't breastfeed in full view of everyone.
32. "Han unification"
I don't know enough about Chinese history to have an opinion on this. Next...
