I understand the foundational concepts to the patriarchy idea and accept that some people who believe it can draw the distinction. My point remains that most do not. Including this video author who felt comfortable titling the video as they did. Even in the paper this video apparently references the paper starts with addressing the patriarchy and rapidly goes from that to pointing solely to “white men” as being the focal point of the issue/paper.

I think that claiming there is absolutely no patriarchy or patriarchal element to society is disingenuous at best. That aside I think it is looked to as the sole reason or even the main reason for a lot of issues without cause and little to no scientific reasoning. If the world switch to being a matriarchy tomorrow it’d still be business as usual because it’d be women CEOs/interest group/corporate entities making billions in blood money instead. Trying to pin all of societies woes on the patriarchy just does not seem in anyway conductive to the larger issue in this context, which is climate change. Especially when it does so on shoddy papers like the one referenced in the video.

It cites one study wherein 16 women and 9 men had an introductory conversation on the issue.

Which leads you to feel comfortable making the widely generalised conclusion of:

The video spends a long time on the phenomena wherein men tend to feel the need to dominate discussions regardless of their actual qualifications.

One paper, with a sample size of 25. With no rigorous data beyond “we observed an academic meeting and the men spoke more times, for longer”. That paper also attributes a lot of reasons for why the men did this and nearly all of it based in speculation beyond the two quotes. The paper bases an astounding amount of assertions based off this incredible weak data.

Criticizing patriarchy is not attacking men or dividing groups.

What an interesting thought given the title of the video is literally “are men killing the planet?”. People insist that blaming the patriarchy == blaming men yet in actuality this rarely seems to a distinction drawn by the same people who espouse the patriarchy rhetoric.

The end theme for black lagoon still occasionally gives me goosebumps, I think it’s how atmospheric it is and somewhat calm/sad after the chaos of a typical BL episode. That I never saw the end of the outro until my second watch and always assumed it was her walking to her death after a firefight.

Man Haruka Kanata was a particularly solid one and a bunch of songs by Asian Kung Fu generation are pretty decent rock tracks.

I’ll see if I bookmarked it but there was a site with a bunch of VPNs listed with their privacy/functionality compared. Using it as a reference I ended up on Mullvad VPN. Super simple set up for the basic stuff with some more functionality under the hood if you need. iOS and windows app for quick set up too. My experience with them has been only positive so far.

Controversial because the artist tried to fight anyone informing them that “piss shouldn’t be that colour” and “please go see a doctor immediately”, presumably.

How else are you meant to interpret this other than it being a bad sign for the studio? Laying off staff in the “home stretch” of a project? I’m sure getting an end game credit will be sufficient consolation for getting ditched at the last stages of a multi year development.

Also no leadership changes either? Not even after andromeda? Sure it’ll be super humbling to sack workers for what seem like incompetent leadership in BioWare since ME3.

Frankly I’m surprised it’s taken this long for BioWare to begin the traditional EA pipeline of being “taken out back” after being squeezed for every bit of profit.

I see far more post for these types of “jokes”, that are low effort and repost far more often than I see people trying to legitimately shill for a religion. On here and on reddit.

Even as someone who gets occasionally tired of online activism, what is even the joke here?

Seems like it started off as a set up for one of those “it’s just a joke guys relax” type jokes only for the second panel just to be “an archeologists, with only a skeleton for reference would initially assume you’re a male… so QED!”

Not funny enough to be a joke, too shit to be a shitpost.
