    Panini is a creep

    Panini having the audacity to tell Chowder he's the clingy one is a form of gaslighting. She's the one who's clingy and obsessed with him and constantly stalks and harasses him. She doesn't get Chowder's "I'm not your boyfriend" message into her thick skull.

    A particular instance of a white actor voicing an Asian character

    I can imagine the outrage on the Internet if Jeff Bennett providing the voice of Raj in Camp Lazlo exists in today's time.

    People would call him a racist for using an Indian accent for the character yet he's not of Indian descent.

    Update on my Discord situation

    I got my old account back, but I don't want to use it anymore because it was compromised by the hacker. I also removed all my friends from the list to protect them.

    I created a new account. The username is anthrofanthe2nd. The display name is Anthro F. II. My profile pic is blue northern lights.

    I don't want to use Discord anymore

    The whole debacle that occurred last night left me absolutely traumatized. I ended up crying and sulking because that motherfucker put me through shit and the other motherfucker threatened to call the police on me for something I didn't do. This was the first time I've ever experienced this on the site. The hacker who has stolen my account is going after my friends to victimize and/or scam them

    My original account on Discord has been compromised

    A friend of mine said they got their account back after it was hacked by a hacker.

    That hacker sent reports to people on their friends list, including me.

    The report would lead to my account getting banned within 12 hours.

    They gave me the name of a certain user. I reached out to them and gave them the ticket ID that was shown on the screenshot.

I agree. These statements are very unhelpful in modern times. What does 'being a man' even mean? Does it mean having a certain set of reproductive organs? Conforming to society's stereotypes? Doing certain jobs that really shouldn't be gender discriminated (as WW2 demonstrated, you don't need a dong to be an engineer or construction worker, as a lot of factory work was done by women; Rosie the Riveter?).

How do the phrases "Be human" and "Be a person of integrity and responsibility" sound?

Much better. It's for similar reasons I have problems with the use of 'man' or 'men' to refer to all of humanity. Erm, hello, women exist, you know!

Can't say I agree with you, but at the same time I can't say that I don't see your point.

To me they're just phrases, no gender, no hate.

Now I'll admit just like everything it can and will be used to discriminate.

To me, "be a man" or "man up" is just a way to say toughen up or standup for yourself.

Other phrases and words with man in them are to me just words, no gender, no hate, nothing discriminatory.

A few of those words include.

Manhole

Manager

Mankind

Manhandle

Mankind


To me just words.

Now I'll admit, the phrases you talked about can and will be used for the reasons you say, but only by hateful people. But that's just my opinion. Who knows I might change my outlook, but for now I'm just always most of the time in the middle, looking at both sides.
