TROPHY CASE

A Request for Comments by violentacrezin writing

[–]rmuser -2 points-1 points ago

I will dedicate myself to downvoting you wherever you decide to slime your way in comments or submissions here on Reddit. Until the glorious day when you are finally driven out and leave reddit, until the day the important internet real estate of /r/lgbt is run by someone less than despicably, utterly evil, you are the enemy.

How tenacious of you.

See how concerned we are.

Oh yeah, Laurelai's "vocal minority" that caused you to lose THOUSANDS of subscribers for choosing to ignore the wishes of your community.

As long as we're flying off into the realm of sheer fantasy, why not go the whole hog and say we lost BILLIONS AND BILLIONS?

Philadelphia has had 32 murders this year. Not 32 murders in the last 12 months, 32 murders since January 1st. by fapficionadoin TrueReddit

That's great and all, but that wasn't what I was talking about. They said "if we magically got rid of every gun in the world today, we would still have violent crime." I pointed out that guns have properties that make them inordinately effective in committing violent crimes. Unless you mean to contend that the only circumstance where guns actually are used is to "protect a person against an assault by another person who possesses superior physical strength", I don't see what that has to do with anything.

My point is that guns are only a method, and if we magically got rid of every gun in the world today, we would still have violent crime.

Guns may be only a method, but they are a method that is specifically designed to kill living things as efficiently and successfully as possible. They enable that goal far more effectively than knives, swords, clubs, bats, fists, hammers, screwdrivers, using a vehicle as a weapon, and so on. This is at least worth taking into consideration regardless of your stance on gun laws.

"Preconceived views" like, uh, women should have the right to vote...

Lovely. I'm convinced.

Why shouldn't open sexuality be enabled?

Hello! Could UK redditors please complete this survey? My friend is researching the commercialisation of Pride events for her dissertation. I am not a fake and will debrief when it's all handed in! by Gabyreldain lgbt

I really don't mean to be an ass about this, but there's a long and dark history of so-called researchers using the most shoddy, unaccountable, unrigorous methods to depict gay people, trans people and other minorities in a negative light. These studies can persist in the public consciousness for decades. It's happened before.

We have every reason to be wary.

Here's an example of a very above-board research post: http://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comments/o03pr/im_looking_for_some_awesome_transpeople_to_help/

Note that it includes their name, field, school, supervisors, contact information, IRB approval, and so on.

I should point out that the onus is not on us to trust that every anonymous request for survey participants is being made in good faith and not for nefarious purposes. Rather, the onus is on the researcher to show why we have reason to trust them. What harm can be done? Wrong question. It's not our job to show harm. It's their job to prove their trustworthiness.

Being partially wrong is better than being completely wrong for the sake of consistency.

If this is actually part of a research project, more details about the who and what and where of it would be preferable. As is we have no idea who's behind this beyond taking your word for it.

I haven't had any sort of treatment, though I'm open to it in the future if I ever felt it was necessary.
