MODERATORS
I do find it quite weird when people claim to be proud of something for which they did nothing to achieve it. Like, his shirt literally says that he was born male. I guess, he did manage to get successfully born, so uh good job?
I’ve never been prouder of that time I rolled 2 dice and got 12. A breathtaking, crowning achievement where all my years of hard work or education or whatever paid off.
You should now lecture others (who can't even afford to buy 2 dice) how you did it and they can do it, too.
They WERE 20-sided, though..
It's a last resort.
Nationality, race, sex all are things that can't be taken away from you. Even the lowest of the low lives still can look down on mexicans, blacks, women because at least he's not that!
Attacking these last resorts by making them not matter, is an attack on the flimsy sense of self worth these people have. You can't be proud to be a man if it doesn't matter that you're a man.
I mean chance/luck is a huge part of everything. Sure you can nudge things a bit here or there but you really shouldn’t be proud of anything you “accomplish” if you think about all the luck involved.
