Aziz Ansari Doesn't Pick Up On "Non-Verbal Cues" and Gets Treated Like A Rapist

[Edwardo Piet]

e who aren't actually doing that.
The thing is is that that phrase is used as a pejorative to anyone supporting a woman online, whether for wanting to get laid, wanting to virtue-signal, wanting to self-image, or ... wait for it ... wanting to agree with her. Much like the term "snowflake", it's attained buzzword status, carrying its own luggage. But if you want to use it, you'll need to consider the energy it takes to haul that luggage, and whether it's worth it.

Yeah I totally get that. I fucking hate the word "snowflake", as well. And I totally get it that the term "White Knight" is used by the same sort of right-winged douche bags that I loathe.

Another one is "cuck" or "beta male" or "autistic screeching". I hate all those terms as well.

But I don't know how else to describe what I'm talking about. And as much as I dislike a word, just because the connotation is negative it doesn't make the dennotation meaningless. Some people really are White Knights in how they behave, and some people really are snowflakes in the sense of being hypersensitive. I wouldn't use that word though. I'd rather not use "White Knight" either but I can't think of a more succinct word to describe what I'm talking about.

As for "cuck", "beta male" and "autistic screeching." Well, as far as I'm concerned "beta male" doesn't apply to humans... it applies to erm... wolves for example. "Cuck" is likewise a 100% stupid term when used as an insult, and I personally would only refer to someone as a cuck if they actually had a legit cuckhold fantasy. To call them one then wouldn't be an insult. I mean... I have a cuckhold fantasy. I am a cuck. But only partially. It doesn't define who I am. And given a choice I'd rather enjoy a more sexually dominant position.

"autistic screeching"... well... likewise.... it is retarded to be used as an insult. But it doesn't mean autistic people never screech. In fact... if the autistic person is low functioning and unable to communicate distress verbally... they often do screech. Or scream. Or whatever. Once again it's the connotation and usage that is objectable. It doesn't mean the term wouldn't be accurate dennotation-wise in some contexts. It's just people don't usually use such terms literally.

Same with White Knight, if used as an insult merely to insult it doesn't make much sense. I'm using it purely to decribe the sort of folks I mean, who really do legit piss me off. So I am using it as an insult but not merely as an insult. I'm only using it to describe people who are legit like that. I wouldn't use it to decribe just any random guy who agrees with a woman. That's something that only a.... right-winged conservertard would do. That's a joke lol.

I mean... I relatively recently had a debate in Slack about taboo words/slurs... I'm still of the Carlinist position that there are no bad words and it's the context that truly matters. I use the word "retard" but not to refer to anyone who is mentally retarded. I don't use the word "nigger" because that doesn't have a secondary meaning. But it nevertheless is possible to say "nigger" without being a racist. This is an example. I'm saying it merely to illustrate that it doesn't make me a racist to merely spell out those letters to make a point.

If you can think of a better term for a guy who sticks up for a woman merely because he thinks he'll be more likely to get sexual favors if he does that.... then feel free to give me one. Because, yes, "White Knight" is a term associated with right-winged morons who also use words like "cuck", "snowflake" and terms like "beta male" and "autistic screeching." It doesn't make me one of those morons to use such words though. I don't care how I come across. I just say what I think.

I respect that I have been advised before by many, including you, that I ought to take more care in communicating what I actually mean rather than just blurting out what I think all the time... but... each to their own. This is my way.

I don't. A person's arguments stand or fall on their own merits ... lover, son, mother, whatever. If I don't agree with what's said, I won't support it. It helps when you've got a woman who doesn't need white-knighting.  

Oh I never intentionally do it. I think I already said that I can't even help it? I'm automatically biased in favor of people I love. It's not something I do intentionally though. And it's not something I would recommend. It's automatic and subconscious. It's not like I think to myself "Okay I'm going to agree with everything the person I love says."

If I don't actually agree with someone I love I will never pretend to agree with them, by the way, that's not what I'm saying. To be clear. What I am saying is that I find myslef convinced that everything they say is right and realizing that that can't be a coincidence and I must be interpreting everything they say from a completely biased perspective in order to bend over backwards and convince myself that they are legit right about everything.

It's unconscious self deception that literally causes me to believe that the person I love is right about (almost) everything. I find myself thinking to myself "I can't possibly really agree with them all the time. My feelings must be getting to my perspective here."

I do SOMETIMES find myself disagreeing with the person I love.... but pretty much only if they're arguing with me and I feel like I need to defend myself. I guess at the end of it all maybe this means I love myself more than anyone else?

That's just it you see... if it's a matter of survival I'd end up deluded and convinced that I was right about something crazy if that's what it took to survive. And that is absolutely not something I'd ever do on purpose.

I've been stressed hugely in the past and had a mental breakdown and ended up on a mental health ward suffering from acute psychosis.... because my brain would rather I lose touch with reality than fail to survive or cope. My mind went to my happy place.

And, delusions are by definition unintentional. "Honest belief" is a tautology. If you are deluded you are by definition honestly deluded. A delusion is an honest false belief. The person is not self aware enough to lie... and they instead honestly believe it.

I think that I'm not the only person who suffers more harmless delusions when it comes to people we love and care about. I think it's pretty common to be deluded into thinking someone you love is right about a lot of things that you would find yourself disagreeing with if it was someone you didn't like. It's functional and therefore not mental illness in that case.

I mean, to be honest, I don't merely intuit this. It's totally a thing already. I am merely recognizing a well known psychological phenomenon and cognitive bias that affects everyone subconsciously.

It's called the Halo Effect.

After reading one of my favorite books of all time "Thinking fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman I've known how incredibly irrational not just the religious folks are, but every single human on this planet is.
