The epic thus far.....Loki and the Enchantress have turned the entire population of Asgard into babies and convince the Power Pack to steal the Golden Apples of Idunn for his "sick wife".

Before we move on. Tiny Thor rides on the back of Baby Ray Bill! Squeal!



Julie, Katie, Jack, TThor and Baby Bill find the way to Idunn's golden house but first they must face....The Squirrel of Mischief!!!





The Squirrel runs away like a being who could not win because Katie's power level is over 9000.

Today's lesson: DO NOT FUCK WITH KATIE POWER!!

They reach Idunn's crib and Thor proves he's a smoothie with the ladies.



They use the casket to grab the apples and bring them back to "Koil" and oh noes!!!



The cute of this mini is forever!

Changed.

Question, if I said, "The Squirrel runs away like a bastard" would you hook me for misandrist language?

Not very likely.

[proteus_lives]

If I may ask, why not?

By the standards you've set, it should be equally verboten.

[mad]

I don't believe the word "bastard" is equally as offensive and possibly-triggering. (To my mind, although it does usually refer to men, the fact that it refers to children born out of wedlock and debate over inheritance makes me more likely to consider it a general insult or perhaps one relating to classism.) If it were used to insult or attack any real person, it would definitely not be acceptable.

Bottom line, it doesn't connote the same level of gender-based hatred or carry the same oppressive weight.

If you feel I'm in error in this assessment, I can throw it back to the rest of the mods and see what their consensus is, or you can drop us an e-mail to discuss it.

Being female myself, if I were to say "Runs away like a bitch", would it carry the same weight?

You know he didn't mean it the way it's original connotations dictate. You personally chose to take it by its original connotations and become offended. I didn't. Does that make either of us right or wrong in thinking the way we do? No, but you brought it up....so yeah.

Seriously not trying to pick fights. I'm just saying I think you need to simmer down. I've seen far worse from this community, intentional or not.

A gender-based slur is still that, no matter the intentions. You cannot use a slur and then blame the listener for being offended. Just because misogynistic language has become ubiquitous in our culture doesn't make it right, and as we are working to make this comm a safer space, it isn't acceptable here.

What's more, telling someone they "need to simmer down" for calling out misogynistic language is a form of the tone argument fallacy, which not only polices the attitude of the person recognizing the problem, but, as you have done, unfairly attributes an unreasonable "uppitiness" for even pointing it out. Members are encouraged to call out sexism when they encounter it here, and calling them out for it isn't acceptable, either.

Feel free to toss it around with the rest of the mods but I don't think any further discussion will be productive.
